Full text

Abstract:

The monograph represents the author's long-term observations on the life of chronotopes of Russian culture. From the author's point of view, chronotopes are initially present in a special field of opposites, complementary values, which only dramatizes the self-identification of the subject of resistance in the fascinating and dark worlds of "closed universes" opening before him. The life of culture, as well as the life of its individual carrier, who creates the text of resistance, seems to be a kind of journey through certain stations - chronotopes. He can find his reader among those who are trying to catch the mysterious morphology of Russian culture and the characters buried in it.

Abstract:

One of the many new avenues of research that Chris has opened up for us in the past decades is the study of fama in medieval contexts. In his important work on twelfth-century Tuscany, Chris considered fama as a form of superior hearsay, derived from gossip and talk, which could involve every member of the social group and to which some credibility could be given in court. This chapter attempts to develop this line of enquiry in a cultural perspective. I seek to show how the way in which the members of a social group bestow fame and celebrity (or their opposites) on some individuals can reveal a lot of the cultural context in which they operate; in other words, how the fame of certain individuals can, within their lifetime and after their death, alternate dramatically according to the way in which some members of future generations view the world in which they had lived. In this perspective, particularly revealing is the case of Theodoric, an individual who, in his lifetime, was famous almost in a modern sense, carving for himself a major role in the geopolitics of Late Antiquity. But Theodoric also become a paradigm, and the vagaries of his fame reveal a lot of the battle of memories and texts that took place in Italy, and more broadly in Europe, between the sixth and the ninth centuries.

Schlapbach, Karin. Epilogue: Dance as Experience. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198807728.003.0008.

Full text

Abstract:

The epilogue synthesizes the insights gained from the preceding chapters. The observation that non-representational dances trigger interpretations in the internal audiences highlights at once the capability of dance to go beyond representation and the need to find meaning in it. Just as the dancers are affected by the physical reality of their performance, so the spectators too are affected by the physical presence of the dancers. Dance is performative and dynamic, and its way to cognition and action is experience. Dance reconciles opposites by encapsulating vitality and disruption, rational patterns and sensory experience, presence and transience, active and passive. The mimesis of dance interacts in many ways with the pragmatic contexts of its performance, making it a powerful cultural force.

Full text

Abstract:

The chapter focuses on modern uses of “improvisation,” its derivatives (I-words), and its constitution with “composition” of a duality of opposites that—like many dualities—works as a hierarchy, valuing reason over impulse, order over entropy, coherence over incoherence, integration over disarticulation, organic wholeness over disjunction. It evaluates the effect of such a conception in accounts of music-making in the Middle Ages and the eighteenth century. It compares those accounts with language left by writers of the periods in view, finding contrariety by commission in the first and omission in the second. Regarding the power of language in shaping such portrayals, the chapter demonstrates the cloaking of eighteenth-century doctrine about what music is for and how it should be—expressive, moving, pleasing, free, unpredictable, original, in short, its aesthetic—that attends the simple act of transmuting “fantasy” to “improvisation” and fantasizing from that a “style” that is labeled “improvisatory.”

Attanasio, John. The Principle of Distributive Autonomy. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190847029.003.0008.

Full text

Abstract:

Modern libertarians regard themselves as ideological opposites to egalitarians. The principle of distributive autonomy is at strong odds with modern conceptions of libertarianism, but perhaps not so much with the original conception of John Stuart Mill. Modern individualistic libertarianism also has strayed from Immanuel Kant's conception of autonomy. This chapter applies Robert Nozick’s widely acclaimed, and richly elaborated, conception of liberty to demonstrate how the new theory of distributive autonomy differs. John Rawls’s principle of equal liberty proceeds from egalitarian starting points. In contrast, the principle of distributive autonomy uses the importance or value of autonomy itself to justify keen attention to its distribution, even in the area of first-order rights. The principle focuses on (but is not limited to) constitutive rights in foundational areas that constitute the government and larger society. The campaign finance cases violate rather than safeguard autonomy by reversing congressional efforts to protect distributive autonomy.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the uses of the unfulfilled in the writings of Charles W. Chesnutt and Sutton E. Griggs. While both authors sought politically progressive ends, Chesnutt and Griggs deployed different strategies to navigate the discourses of “pessimism” and “optimism” that marked turn-of-the-twentieth-century debates about the future of the race. Whereas Griggs believed that bringing about a better future for black Americans required representing this future in the present, Chesnutt staged its failure in order to realize a future that might not fail. Specifically, in The Colonel’s Dream, Chesnutt addresses the nation’s failures to approximate the democratic ideal. He thus anticipates the twenty-first-century debate between Afro-pessimism and black optimism. By intensifying the pessimism in Afro-pessimism, Chesnutt insists that forecasting the failed future is necessary for realizing any better tomorrow. Accordingly, he clarifies the links between Afro-pessimism and black optimism, revealing these not as opposites but as critical coproducers.

Beer, Yishai. Revitalizing the Concept of Military Necessity. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190881146.003.0002.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter revisits the in bello necessity principle. It challenges the current dichotomy between the two pillars—mistakenly assumed to be polar opposites—of the law of armed conflict: necessity and humanity. It embraces the idea that a well-trained military has an inherent interest in enhancing its operational effectiveness and constraining unnecessary brutality. The exercise of brute force by militaries, though common, reflects professional incompetency. The prevailing law of armed conflict, generally ignores the constraining effect of the necessity principle, which was originally intended to allow only the minimally necessary use of force on the battlefield. Consequently, the prevailing law places the burden of restricting the exercise of brute military force upon humanitarian considerations. Humanitarianism alone, however, cannot deliver the goods and substantially reduce war’s hazards. This chapter therefore calls for the transformation of the military’s actual or potential self-imposed professional constraining standards into a revised legal standard of necessity.

Abstract:

Psychology grew out of philosophy, and the science of psychology is at the heart of how psychologists develop a body of knowledge. Despite the central role of science and philosophy in psychology, sport and exercise psychologists often ignore issues related to philosophy of science. This chapter discusses the scientific method upon which most quantitative research is based. It also discusses ontological and epistemological issues and the various philosophical assumptions that underpin research. In particular, two epistemological opposites are addressed, social constructionism and cognitivism, along with their strengths and weaknesses and resultant implications for past and future research. Because psychology is inherently the study of how and why people think and act, to completely disavow the mind as the primary cause of human agency is antithetical to the discipline and profession of psychology. Thus considerable attention is given to refuting critics who refute the primacy of the mind and its role in human behavior while still acknowledging that social, environmental, and culture factors play important roles in people’s lives.

Abstract:

Language and pain are usually thought of as opposites, the one being about expression and communication, the other destructive, “beyond words,” and isolating. Language Pangs challenges these familiar conceptions and offers a reconsideration of the relationship between pain and language in terms of an essential interconnectedness rather than an exclusive opposition. The book’s premise is that the experience of pain cannot be probed without consideration of its inherent relation to language, and vice versa: understanding the nature of language essentially depends on an account of its relationship with pain. Language Pangs brings together discussions of philosophical as well as literary texts, an intersection especially productive in considering the phenomenology of pain and its bearing on language. The book’s first chapter presents a phenomenology of pain and its relation to language. Chapters 2 and 3 provide a close reading of Herder’s Treatise on the Origin of Language (1772), which was the first modern philosophical text to bring together language and pain, establishing the cry of pain as the origin of language. Herder also raises important claims regarding the relationship between human and animal, sympathy, and the role of hearing in the experience of pain. Chapter 4 is devoted to Heidegger’s seminar (1939) on Herder’s text about language, a relatively unknown seminar that raises important claims regarding pain, expression, and hearing. Chapter 5 focuses on Sophocles’ story of Philoctetes, important to Herder’s treatise, in terms of pain, expression, sympathy, and hearing, also referring to more thinkers such as Cavell and Gide.
