Friederici, Peter. Beyond Climate Breakdown. The MIT Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/14039.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The importance of telling new climate stories—stories that center the persistence of life itself, that embrace comedy and radical hope. “How dare you?” asked teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg at the United Nations in 2019. How dare the world's leaders fiddle around the edges when the world is on fire? Why is society unable to grasp the enormity of climate change? In Beyond Climate Breakdown, Peter Friederici writes that the answer must come in the form of a story, and that our miscomprehension of the climate crisis comes about because we have been telling the wrong stories. These stories are pervasive; they come from long narrative traditions, sanctioned by capitalism, Hollywood, and social media, and they revolve around a myth: that the nation exists primarily as a setting for a certain kind of economic activity. Stories are how we make sense of the world and our place in it. The story that “the economy” takes priority over everything else may seem foreordained, but, Friederici explains, actually reflect choices made by specific people out of self-interest. So we need new stories—stories that center the persistence of life, rather than of capitalism, stories that embrace contradiction and complexity. We can create new stories based on comedy and radical hope. Comedy never says no; hope sprouts like a flower in cracked concrete. These attitudes require a new way of thinking—an adaptive attitude toward life that slips the narrow yoke of definition.

Mackenzie, Simon, and Donna Yates. What Is Grey about the “Grey Market” in Antiquities? Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198794974.003.0004.
Full textAbstract:
The global market in antiquities has been described as a grey market. We provide a breakdown of the meanings and implications of this greyness. Usually the term refers to the mixing of recently looted antiquities with those that can be sold legally, thus the antiquities market is grey because illicit objects are sold via a public and purportedly legitimate network of dealers and auction houses. This is supported by a second form of greyness: the ethically grey status of individual looted objects after time and their passage through jurisdictions via multiple trades obscures or overwrites their illicit origins. It is also supported by a greying of ethical judgment, achieved through a discourse that permits the purchase of illicit objects in constructed circumstances of “saving” or “preserving” artifacts.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter follows naturally out of the previous one in its presentation of a case of theology crystallizing into Jewish law. It examines various instances of concrete law that involve the divine name and its use in everyday life. The rabbinic allows for the exploitation of the most sacred for the most mundane, drawing the divine into the horizontal plane of human relationships. The first instance discussed is where classical rabbis allowed the name YHVH to form an integral part of the common salutation. The second examined is allowing the name’s effacement in order to repair a spousal breakdown. God disappears so that love can reappear. The third instance involves a battle to eradicate evil in the world. God’s name remains incomplete as long as that evil exists.

Cameron, Allan. Visceral Screens. Edinburgh University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474419192.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Horror cinema grants bodies and images a precarious hold on sense and order: from the zombie’s gory disintegration to the vampire’s absent reflection and from the shaky camerawork of ‘found footage’ horror to the spectacle of shattering glass in the Italian giallo. Addressing classic horror movies alongside popular and innovative contemporary works, Visceral Screens shows how they have rendered the human form as a type of ‘image-body’, mediated by optical effects, chromatic shifts, glitches and audiovisual fragmentation. The question of signification is central to this metaphorical exchange, since horror frequently pushes both bodies and media to the limits of their expressive capacity. Conducting their own anatomies of the screen, cutting across bodies and media alike, horror films revel in the breakdown of frames, patterns and figures, exposing the seams between matter and meaning.

Wallace, Clare. Irish Drama since the 1990s. Edited by Nicholas Grene and Chris Morash. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198706137.013.34.
Full textAbstract:
While writers such as Friel and Murphy seemed to provide a certain continuity in the closing years of the twentieth century, a new generation of writers emerged in the 1990s for whom the Irish dramatic tradition seemed less an inheritance than a foil to be played against (or with) or, in some cases, an irrelevance. For instance, while Martin McDonagh’s work was sometimes associated with British ‘in-yer-face’ theatre of the 1990s, to some commentators his work made more sense as a subversion of an earlier Irish tradition. In the case of Conor McPherson, the breakdown of a community that made a shared theatre culture possible was registered in a turn to monologue, while writers such as Mark O’Rowe and Enda Walsh showed a freedom of dramatic form and a set of dramatic concerns reflecting immersion in a mediatized, globalized late modernity.

Full textAbstract:
Psychopharmacological drugs have effects on selfhood in ways that often overlap with the treatment of mental disorders, but the effects also go beyond the domain of disorder into the sphere of enhancement. To what extent this is and will be the case depends, of course, on the definition and understanding of mental disorder. The psychotropic effects on selfhood can be mapped out by distinguishing groups of traits that belong to personality and that form dimensions of selfhood, but they can also be distinguished by acknowledging different layers of selfhood-pre-reflective embodied self, reflective self, and narrative self. The effects of psychopharmacological drugs in some cases normalize the alienating experiences of the breakdown of pre-reflective selfhood, in other cases they rather bring about changes in basic dimensions of selfhood and personality, such as temperament and emotional dispositions.

Kahn, Andrew. Russian Literature between Classicism and Romanticism. Edited by Paul Hamilton. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199696383.013.26.
Full textAbstract:
The joint discovery of sensibility and subjectivity is the hallmark of early Romanticism in Russia. In the 1780s and 1790s, younger writers—mostly amateur men of letters and the occasional noble woman—extended older debates about the elements of style and correct verse form. Writers were able to move between classical models and more experimental forms of subjectivity. Debate about the purpose of literature and its national cultural orientation and obligations intensified in the 1820s. At the end of the period covered in this chapter we see the breakdown of support for literature conceived as playful and gentlemanly. The advent of a full-blown Romantic movement, supported by the growth of the reading public, proliferation of literary journals, and the establishment of literary criticism as an institution, caused more writers to take entrenched positions and break with the past.

Full textAbstract:
Further objections to miracles, such as moral and theological objections, are examined. These give valuable cautions. If miracles are possible, then their extreme rarity is troubling from the point of view of justice; a complete impossibility might be easier to understand. Augustine was right to oppose the idea that miracles represent a breakdown of lawful order. Christian commitment involves a duty of honesty and straight-dealing in questions of healthcare. Jesus himself strongly opposed the mindset that asks for impressive marvels rather than help in living right. Notwithstanding all this, we affirm, in company with other Christians, that after Jesus of Nazareth was dead, he was given new life in an embodied, tangible, visible, audible, coherent, insightful, dynamic form. We affirm this out of a sense of duty and in response to evidence, but we acknowledge that the evidence does not on its own compel the response.

Nance, Michael. Hegel’s Jena Practical Philosophy. Edited by Dean Moyar. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199355228.013.3.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the development of Hegel’s Jena social and political philosophy prior to the publication of the Phenomenology, with a focus on Hegel’s engagement with Fichte. Hegel’s culminating project in his Jena practical philosophy involves synthesizing two social ideals: classical Greek communitarianism and modern liberal individualism. According to Hegel’s conception, the classical communitarian ideal threatens a form of nihilism: the destruction of free, independent subjectivity. The modern individualist ideal, by contrast, threatens atomism: the breakdown of community attachments in favor of the pursuit of private interests. Hegel’s Jena project is to avoid nihilism and atomism by synthesizing the two ideals into one coherent picture of ethical life. Two related conceptual innovations prove crucial to this project: first, the idea that human agency is formed through a struggle for recognition; and second, the idea that modern ethical life is a shape of objective spirit.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 6 addresses the ethical issues involved in engaging with the perpetrator’s perspective by analyzing Jonathan Littell’s Les Bienveillantes (2006, The Kindly Ones). It discusses imaginative resistance, difficult empathy, and identification in relation to readerly engagement and perspective-taking. The chapter shows how the interplay between immersiveness and critical distance can produce a narrative dynamic that allows the reader to engage emotionally—but without uncritically adopting the protagonist’s perspective—with an ethically problematic life-world. It analyzes how the novel performatively shows, through the breakdown of narrative mastery, that no exhaustive comprehension is possible. In relation to different logics of narrative, the chapter articulates the ethical significance of self-reflexive narrative form and relates the hermeneutic notion of docta ignorantia—knowing that one does not know—to the novel’s way of dealing with the conditions of possibility of the Holocaust and with the limits of understanding, representing, and narrating it.

Full textAbstract:
School mentoring in Austria is structurally anchored in the curricula of the new teacher trai-ning with the establishment/implementation of pedagogical-practical studies. Partner schools of universities of teacher education and universities offer students space for learning experience through practice and opportunity to complete the curricular parts of school in social environ-ment of schools. Mentors accompany and support the professionalization process and enter into a mutual learning and developmental relationship against the background of curricular re-quirement structures as well as subjective interpretative patterns. Transformational mentoring with a categorical breakdown to guide self-reflection is presented and discussed as a possible form of mentoring.In the research approach, interviews with mentors and students were conducted and evaluated with Grounded Theory. The central result of the study is that those involved in the dyadic rela-tionship want to build up or want to enter into a profession-specific learning and development process with the aim of furthering their own effectiveness and professionalism. Emanating from these studies, (training ) models for mentoring programs were constructed.

Conolly, Jez. The Thing. Liverpool University Press, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781906733773.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Consigned to the deep freeze of critical and commercial reception upon its release in 1982, The Thing has bounced back spectacularly to become one of the most highly regarded productions from the 1980s 'Body Horror' cycle of films, experiencing a wholesale and detailed reappraisal that has secured its place in the pantheon of modern cinematic horror. Thirty years on, and with a recent prequel reigniting interest, this book looks back to the film's antecedents and to the changing nature of its reception and the work that it has influenced. The themes discussed include the significance of The Thing's subversive antipodal environment, the role that the film has played in the corruption of the onscreen monstrous form, the qualities that make it an exemplar of the director's work and the relevance of its legendary visual effects despite the advent of CGI. Topped and tailed by a full plot breakdown and an appreciation of its notoriously downbeat ending, this exploration of the events at US Outpost 31 in the winter of 1982 captures The Thing's sub-zero terror in all its gory glory.

Besse, Jacques. The Great Easter. The MIT Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/11772.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
A hallucinating, insomniac, and increasingly fragile flaneur wanders the streets of Paris over the long Easter weekend of 1960. Paris, Easter weekend 1960. The French composer Jacques Besse sets out on a marathon stroll through the city that begins on Good Friday, when he leaves his brother's house on rue de Turbigo, and ends on Easter Monday, when, having declared himself Mars, the god of war, to mystified restaurant-goers, he ambles back toward Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The Great Easter—a memoir in the form of a novella, or perhaps a novella in the form of a memoir—is the first-person account of a hallucinating, insomniac, and increasingly fragile flaneur's unending ambulation. The Great Easter was first published in French in 1969 and became famous a few years later when in their milestone work Anti-Oedipus Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari referred to Besse's walk as the quintessential “double stroll of the schizo.” (Besse was a patient at Guattari's psychiatric clinic La Borde.) Besse's stroll purées past and present, real and not-real: a rendezvous with a prostitute intersects with Sergei Eisenstein and his entourage, a bellowed song about the sea is overwhelmed by “memories” of the 1830 July Revolution, and the entire universe gathers itself up into a bubble above Gare d'Austerlitz. He is seized by anxiety, released by joy; he announces his cosmic celebrity via a huge (imaginary) television while freezing in the night and calling out for bread. A cult favorite in France, The Great Easter is an engrossing, surreal road movie of a book

Full textAbstract:
In recent decades, Tokyo, London, and New York have been the sites of credit bubbles of historically unprecedented magnitude. Central bankers have enjoyed almost unparalleled power and autonomy. They have cooperated to construct and preserve towering structures of debt, reshaping relations of power and ownership around the world. This book explores how this financialized form of globalism took shape a century ago, when Tokyo joined London and New York as a major financial center. This book shows that close cooperation between central banks began along an unexpected axis, between London and Tokyo, around the year 1900, with the Bank of England's secret use of large Bank of Japan funds to intervene in the London markets. Central-bank cooperation became multilateral during World War I—the moment when Japan first emerged as a creditor country. In 1919 and 1920, as Japan, Great Britain, and the United States adopted deflation policies, the results of cooperation were realized in the world's first globally coordinated program of monetary policy. It was also in 1920 that Wall Street bankers moved to establish closer ties with Tokyo. The text tells the story of how the first age of central-bank power and pride ended in the disaster of the Great Depression, when a rush for gold brought the system crashing down. In all of this, we see also the quiet but surprisingly central place of Japan. We see it again today, in the way that Japan has unwillingly led the world into a new age of post-bubble economics.
