Cimatti, Felice. "The circular semiosis of Giorgio Prodi." Sign Systems Studies 28 (December 31, 2000): 351–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.12697/sss.2000.28.19.
Abstract:
Prodi's semiotics theory comes into being to answer a radical question: if a sign is a cross-reference, what guarantees the relation between the sign and the object to which it is referring? Prodi rebukes all traditional solutions: a subject's voluntary intention, a convention, the iconic relation between sign and object. He refutes the fIrst answer because the notion of intention, upon which it is based, is, indeed, a fully mysterious entity. The conventionalist answer is just as unsatisfactory for it does nothing but extends to a whole group that which cannot be explained for a single component; the iconic one, finally, is rejected toosince in this case the notion of "likeliness", as the basis of the concept of "iconicity", is not explained. Prodi's answer is to locate the model of semiotic relations in the figure of the circle. The circle is life, which is nothing else but an infinite chain of translation and recognition relations amidst ever more complex systems. The circle has neither a beginning nor an end. It has no foundation, no established rule. It holds no cause that cannot become, in turn, effect. Semiosis, then, is based upon life for life, itself, is intrinsically semiotic. We can put the world in signs, that is we can come to know it, because we, ourselves, are a part of that very worldthat through us is made known. Finally, what this implies is that being inside the circle of semiosis-life, an issue arises what is beyond that circle: that is both an aesthetic and a religious problem.

Abstract:
In his satirical novel Meetings of the Mind, David Damrosch shows comparative literature as a dying discipline, unable to grasp the world’s complexity. Nonetheless, it is precisely the new global reality that makes the comparative approach more valid than ever before. The challenges of the discipline are not only cognitive, but also ethical. The comparative studies unifying the world’s patrimony should create a cross-cultural and truly universal basis of solidarity. Such an endeavor is to be found in the works of universally-oriented intellectuals, Giorgio Agamben and George Steiner.

Abstract:
This article takes up the notion of "refugee" worked on by Hannah Arendt and Giorgio Agamben on the basis of lack of protection in the countries of origin, to trace a continuity with the "refugee" as a subject of protection in a host State. The objective of this writing is to show a continuity contained in a subject such as the refugee, who is at the same time unprotected (by the State of belonging) and protected (by the State in which he takes refuge). The State appears in both situations as the central actor that defines the status of the subject. Este artículo retoma la noción de “refugiado” trabajada por Hannah Arendt y Giorgio Agamben sobre la base de la desprotección en los países de origen, para trazar una continuidad con el “refugiado” como sujeto de protección en un Estado de acogida. El objetivo de este escrito es mostrar una continuidad contenida en un sujeto como el refugiado, que es al mismo tiempo desprotegido (por el Estado de pertenencia) y protegido (por el Estado en el que se asila). El Estado se presenta en ambas situaciones como actor central que define el estatus del sujeto.

Abstract. Business activity and its various directions change parallel to global political-social-economic processes, and they frequently must adjust to new, occasionally unanticipated situations and change their activities fundamentally. The sustainability of entrepreneurial activity is ultimately impacted by how responsive it is to external influences and how frequently appropriate management techniques of the processes must be changed. The paper analyzes the legal grounds of the status of small and medium-sized business organisations in Georgia and their classification criteria, and discusses the historical experience and international practice of giving such status. The article also analyzes the dynamics of economic indicators and special taxing regimes, based on which conclusions are formed taking into account the particulars of various business entity categories and special regimes. The article discusses various theories and offers recommendations, which will be interesting and noteworthy for a wide audience with an interest in this topic.

Kidwell, Jeremy. "Time for Business: Business Ethics, Sustainability, and Giorgio Agamben’s ‘Messianic Time’." De Ethica 2, no. 3 (January 28, 2016): 39–51. http://dx.doi.org/10.3384/de-ethica.2001-8819.152339.
Abstract:
Contemporary business continues to intensify its radical relation to time. The New York Stock Exchange recently announced that in pursuing (as traders call it) the ‘race to zero’ they will begin using laser technology originally developed for military communications to send information about trades nearly at the speed of light. This is just one example of short-term temporal rhythms embedded in the practices of contemporary firms which watch their stock price on an hourly basis, report their earnings quarterly, and dissolve future consequences and costs through discounting procedures. There is reason to believe that these radical conceptions of time and its passing impair the ability of businesses to function in a morally coherent manner. In the spirit of other recent critiques of modern temporality such as David Couzen Hoys The Time of Our Lives, in this paper, I present a critique of the temporality of modern business. In response, I assess the recent attempt to provide an alternative account of temporality using theological concepts by Giorgio Agamben. I argue that Agamben’s more integrative account of messianic time provides a richer ambitemporal account which might provide a viable temporality for a new sustainable economic future.

Malaguti, Andrea. "More Becoming to a Man: Fathers, Sons, and the Novel of Education in Giorgio Bassani’s Il giardino dei Finzi-Contini." Quaderni d'italianistica 35, no. 2 (July 22, 2015): 139–66. http://dx.doi.org/10.33137/q.i..v35i2.23619.
Abstract:
The article examines the dynamics of interaction between fathers and sons in Giorgio Bassani’s <i>The Garden of the Finzi-Contini</i> in a Lacanian perspective. In doing so, it discusses the often uncritically ascribed label of <i>Bildungsroman</i> as belonging to the novel in question only as an element of parody, which more keenly underscores the tension of the time between the approval of the racial laws (November 1938) and the eve of WWII (August 1939). It also provides the basis for further discussion on the identity of the narrating subject and his role in the <i>Romanzo di Ferrara</i> as a whole.

Abstract:
The development of correct personal values is of great importance in human life. The mission of the Cadets Military Lyceum named after General Giorgi Kvinitadze is to bring up a free-thinking person with national and democratic values. The Lyceum aims to give the cadets basic military knowledge and skills, instill love and respect for military service in them, a desire for mastering a military profession, civic consciousness based on liberal-democratic values and respect for cultural values. To achieve these goals along with other activities, well-planned educational excursions and educational programs play a great role. We think that studying the heroic historical past of Georgia and the life and work of heroic ancestors will help the cadets to understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens of Georgia.
A personal example gives a lot to a young person, who is formed right in front of us and develops those qualities, which are vitally necessary and represent the basis for the right life decision. In order to achieve this goal we planned and implemented the project with the support of the Lyceum Directorate; “On The Footsteps Of An Undefeated General”, dedicated to the life and work of General Giorgi Mazniashvili.

Rus, Bianca L. "Thought as Revolt in The Old Man and the Wolves." Hypatia 34, no. 1 (2019): 20–38. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/hypa.12453.
Abstract:
This article explores how Julia Kristeva's construction of a fictional narrative space enables her to examine the conditions that can produce a culture of revolt. Focusing on one of her novels, The Old Man and the Wolves, the article brings together Hannah Arendt's political philosophy (which provides a framework for Kristeva's depiction of totalitarianism) with Duns Scotus's principle of individuation and Giorgio Agamben's notion of quodlibet (“whatever singularity”) to argue that the future of a culture of revolt is closely connected to the role of women. By aligning feminine thought to political revolt, I demonstrate that Kristeva's revalorization of feminine experiences in the novel constitutes the basis of an ethics that includes the recognition of “whatever” forms of life that have been historically neglected.

di Somma, Emilio. "The mystery of economy: Exploring the threshold between theology and economics." Review & Expositor 116, no. 1 (February 2019): 83–92. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0034637319830688.
Abstract:
This article addresses the permanence of a “theological device” within the structures of economic thought. Using the work of Giorgio Agamben, this article describes how divine providence relates to the natural world; this analysis will in turn provide the basis for a reading of contemporary economics. Oikonomia, in early Christian use, becomes not only a metaphor for the divine household and God’s own life, but also begins to designate God’s influence both on the divine and the material spheres. Agamben interprets contemporary economics as the theoretical movement that pushes away the “transcendent” principle from the “immanent” principle, leaving the world devoid of any relation to God. This article engages Agamben’s insights in a discussion about the structures of such “providential order” inherent to economic thought, and the ways it can be described as a form of “theology,” alternative to the Christian worldview.

Abstract:
Can classical political theories of mixed constitution from Polybius to Cicero help us shed new light on Russian politics? In order to so, this article first considers political structures of such non-parliamentary republics as medieval Novgorod and Venice, while choosing Constantinople as a basis for their comparison. Second, using Anthony Kaldellis's recent book that has reinterpreted Byzantium in terms of the classical theory of res publica, it analyzes the question of auctoritas in ancient republican Rome and then imperial Constantinople. Third, the author employs Giorgio Agamben's book on the state of exception, in order to see how mechanisms of power and authority that the Roman emperors had employed might help us interpret anew the phenomenon of tsardom, given that Ivan the Terrible was the first in Russia to be crowned as tsar, that is, Ceasar. This might have a lasting significance even for present day politics.

Abstract:
In her timely and provocative book, Kathleen Arnold examines the super-exploitation and disenfranchisement of the “new working class”—low-income immigrants, African Americans, and women workers—and utilizes these phenomena as a catalyst for sharpening our critical understanding of American governance in our globalizing conditions. She contends that the neoliberal state is deploying deregulation and massive policing interventions simultaneously. The latter range from the exposure of welfare mothers to the rigors of workfare to the war on drugs, post-9/11 domestic security operations, mean-spirited attacks on the homeless, and the crackdown on illegal immigration. Arnold proposes a sobering diagnosis that is loosely based upon Giorgio Agamben's theory of bare life: As the state operates outside the law on a frequent and even systematic basis to reduce these target groups to a subhuman status, we are witnessing the triumph of prerogative power in American society today.

Liakos, David. "Propriety, Facticity, Normativity." Derrida Today 17, no. 2 (June 2024): 198–210. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/drt.2024.0340.
Abstract:
In Donner le temps II, Derrida argues that Heidegger is a thinker of ‘propriety’, which suggests that Heidegger is committed to a metaphysical strategy of assigning essential characteristics to entities and to being. This essay interrogates this claim from Derrida’s reading in Donner le temps II of Heidegger’s analytic of Dasein. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s critique of Derrida on this issue, we will distinguish propriety from facticity. This investigation reveals that Heidegger conceives of Dasein as facing a range of possible commitments which can become determinate but are not determined. In turn, this conception of facticity provides the basis for Heidegger’s thinking of normativity, that is, a measure for success or failure which does not assign propriety to Dasein’s character, as Steven Crowell has argued. The essay concludes that Derrida’s critique of propriety and departure from phenomenology complicate the possibility of a viable deconstructive conception of normativity.

Abstract:
In this article, I try to present the problems of modern surveillance, using three perspectives: theoretical, practical and pop-cultural. The first chapter provides a theoretical basis. Through adapting theories of selected philosophers, including Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, I’m trying to create a cognitive frame, constituting the key to understanding the contemporary supervision discourse. In the next part of the work I make a synthetic presentation of the current forms of social control, emphasizing their tendency to encroach on every area of human life. In the third, crucial chapter, I carry out an analysis of the film Minority Report, using the interpretation tools developed in the first chapter. Specifying certain elements of the Steven Spielberg’s film, I interpret the image in the spirit of social supervision discourse. At the same time I try to highlight the number of threads and the interpretative ambiguity of the film − a thoroughly pop-cultural image, which constitutes a very interesting diagnosis of contemporary reality.

Abstract:
Abstract Women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with a depressive disorder as men. Before trying to explain this difference, we must first understand how women experience depression. We explore the phenomenon of depression through women’s experiences, using Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological method. An essential meaning structure describes the development of depression: The women find themselves entrapped in a personal mission which had backfired. Motivated by shame and guilt from the past, they overinvest in work or others’ emotions to relieve internal pain. They feel deeply sensitive to, and responsible for, other persons’ distress while ignoring their own feelings and needs. Gradually their emotional body grows awry and acts in increasingly alienating and threatening ways. Ultimately they feel forced to submerge in their emotional body; they succumb to depression. We reflect on this structure on the basis of Minkowski, Scheler, Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, and in relation to contemporary research on depression.

Frasca-Rath, Anna. "Imagining women working stone: the ancient sculptor Marcia in Boccaccio’s De mulieribus and responses in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century art literature." Sculpture Journal 33, no. 1 (March 2024): 13–27. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/sj.2024.33.1.02.
Abstract:
This article confronts the widespread stereotype of the supposedly natural inability of women to work stone through an analysis of the iconographic tradition of the ancient sculptor Marcia. A small corpus of fifteenth-century manuscript illuminations shows the ancient artist at work. This case study allows us to trace the memory of a woman artist working in stone that was already circulating at that time. The textual basis for the iconography under discussion was introduced by Giovanni Boccaccio in his biography of Marcia, part of his De mulieribus claris. Boccaccio’s text was received by subsequent generations of authors and reprinted in an Italian version four years before Giorgio Vasari published his account of the life of Properzia de Rossi in his Lives. The article introduces a fresh perspective on the relationship between Boccaccio’s Marcia and Vasari’s Properzia and provides new evidence for connections between the querelles des femmes and sixteenth-century art literature.

Goryainov, O. "“The Music of Being”: a note on a metaphor from Giorgio Agamben’s last volume of <i>Homo Sacer</i>." Versus 3, no. 2 (November 27, 2023): 165–200. http://dx.doi.org/10.58186/2782-3660-2023-3-2-165-200.
Abstract:
The article attempts to clarify the place and meaning of musical-acoustic metaphors that appear in the last volume of Homo Sacer, The Use of Bodies, in connection with the project of modal ontology. The definition of philosophy as the “supreme music,” increasingly common in the pages of his later texts, suggests that this is not just a figurative meaning of musical images but an attempt to give them conceptual weight. To clarify the musical basis of philosophy, the article offers an analysis of a number of statements from The Use of Bodies in the context of Agamben’s early reflections on language and voice (most notably in Language and Death). The analysis allows us to show that musical metaphors mark the direction of Agamben’s positive program, particularly the project of modal ontology, which seeks to resolve the aporia of the ontological apparatus thattraces back to Aristotle. Although the aim of the article is mainly technical — to fit only apparently incidental musical metaphors into the logic of Agamben’s entire philosophical project — it seems that this analysis may be useful in clarifying the basis for understanding and critiquing the thought of the Italian philosopher.

Thumfart, Johannes. "On Grotius's Mare Liberum and Vitoria's De Indis, Following Agamben and Schmitt." Grotiana 30, no. 1 (2009): 65–87. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/016738309x12537002674286.
Abstract:
AbstractThe idea of free trade in Grotius's Mare liberum and his legal opinion De iure praedae has a strong theological basis. Grotius called the right to travel and trade freely a ius sanctissimum, a 'sacrosanct law'. He also perceived the Freedom of the Seas as being a direct result of the will of God. This theological background was strategically necessary because Grotius developed the Mare liberum and the De iure praedae to argue against Spanish-Portuguese claims to a trade monopoly that also had theological underpinnings. But the theological aspect of Grotius's theory was also emphasized by the references he made to the Dominican friar Francisco de Vitoria's ius communicationis. This precursor to Grotius's Freedom of the Seas, which Vitoria had developed in his De indis, is connected to the legal justification of Christian mission and so has a clear theological connotation. In Grotius's work, Vitoria's concept of a universal right to Christian mission supervised by the pope was transformed into a theologically supported right to free trade. With this transformation of the ius communicationis into the principle of the Mare liberum, Grotius develops a theological basis not for politics but for economics. One can speak therefore, following Giorgio Agamben, of an 'economic theology' in regard to Grotius, a term that is, in turn, derived from Carl Schmitt's notion of 'political theology'.

Giorgi, Barbro. "A Phenomenological Analysis of the Experience of Pivotal Moments in Therapy as Defined by Clients*." Journal of Phenomenological Psychology 42, no. 1 (2011): 61–106. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/156916211x567497.
Abstract:
AbstractThis study was concerned with the clarification of the experience of pivotal moments in therapy. By pivotal moment is understood an event within the therapeutic process that leads to enduring change experienced as an important improvement in the life-experience of the client. Retrospective descriptions of a therapeutic process were obtained from three clients in which a distinguishable chain of events could be discerned that the clients identified as a pivotal moment. The descriptive material was analyzed according to the descriptive phenomenological psychological method developed by Amedeo Giorgi on the basis of the philosophical phenomenology of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. The results show that the pivotal moment is experienced as a figural moment within the therapeutic process where a serious challenge to old assumptions takes place, necessitating a break from old cognitive, affective and behavioral patterns in a context of trust and safety within the therapeutic relationship.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to understand how clients with trauma would experience SomaticExperiencing (SE) as an approach to trauma therapy, and determine the structure of theexperiences. A total of six including 5 females and 1 male. The data collected were analyzedaccording to the stages of qualitative analysis based on Giorgi’s phenomenological method,which has resultingly drawn five components of experiences that clients with trauma had alongwith 26 sub-components. The components are <Having lived without noticing pain of my mindwhile my body kept speaking out>, <Using my body as a secure base>, <Observing what mybody with a scar remembers>, <Revealing wounds of their traumas entangled inside>, <Noticingchanges in body and mind>. The study results may provide useful baseline data of counselingintervention for clients with trauma for the reason that empirical basis of the experiences thatthe clients had during SE and vivid description of the counseling process has been provided,and the importance of the experience has been explored.

Abstract:
Family, a striking concept for society and culture, an important foundation of interpersonal relationships, shows changes and new models. The decision to have children is based on individual experience and achievement, no longer because of a need for a traditional nuclear family model. The study aimed to understand the experience of some family modalities in the decision to have and raise children. For this, the Gestalt Approach was chosen as the basis. The Gestalt-therapy look at the process, an integration that is never completed. The present research investigated three families models; single-parent, heterosexual and homosexual couple. The methodology used was phenomenological qualitative research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with data analyzed by the Giorgi method. With the interviews, it was noticed that the arrival of the son brings uncertainties, questions, new divisions of tasks and resignations on the part of the families. We conclude that families experience similar experiences regardless of their model. Palavras-chave : Family; Parenthood; Qualitative phenomenological research; Gestalt therapy.

PROZOROV, SERGEI. "The other as past and present: beyond the logic of ‘temporal othering’ in IR theory." Review of International Studies 37, no. 3 (July 13, 2010): 1273–93. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0260210510000586.
Abstract:
AbstractThe article ventures a critique of the logic of ‘temporal othering’ in contemporary International Relations (IR) theory. Originally articulated in the field of European integration, this logic presupposes a possibility for a political community to constitute its identity without any spatial delimitation by means of casting as Other its own past, whose repetition in the future it seeks to avoid. While the image of contemporary Europe as ‘othering’ its own past has been subjected to empirical criticism, this article makes a conceptual argument for the indissociability of temporal and spatial aspects in any act of othering. Drawing on Alexandre Kojève's reading of Hegel, I argue that any historical action is necessarily spatiotemporal, combining the abstraction of temporal negation with the concrete actuality of a negated spatial being. Alternatives to the logic of sovereign territoriality are therefore not to be sought in the temporal aspect of othering, but rather by pursuing the possibility of self-constitution in the absence of any negating action whatsoever. The article concludes with an outline of such an alternative ethos, developed on the basis of Giorgio Agamben's reconstruction of the Hegelian-Kojèvian problematic of the end of history and his theory of the subject.

Abstract:
Secular messianism, placed in the center of the article’s topic, isn’t a consistent religious or philosophical tradition. However, though it doesn’t have a consistent philosophical genealogy, and tears ties with religious tradition, “weak” messianism could be considered as a unite discourse, which unites authors of heterogenous philosophical and religious traditions. At the core of the messianic discourse, placed in the article’s focus, lies the critic of a positive exclusivist cult as a system of power, and construction of a negative cult on a basis of a critical discourse. In the article with the help of conceptual apparatus, developed by Michele Foucault, Judith Butler, Giorgio Agamben, and Bruno Latour’s version ANT’s elements, Walter Benjamin’s “messianic” texts and Jacques Derrida later texts, in which he turns to “messianic” problematic, are discussed. As a result of the deconstruction of a subject– oriented metaphysics, against which stands “weak” messianism’s discourse, modern linear temporality of an assymmetric ontology changes into messianic time of an onto–epistemologically symmetric hauntology (hontologie). In hauntology there is no room for economy of violence, based on the practice of exclusion and systemic production of violence upon those who are excluded.

Abstract:
The heritage of antiquity was the basis of Italian Renaissance architecture and inexhaustible source of inspiration for its masters. Among the facilities of par - ticular interest for architects and lovers of the epoch were the Roman thermae. Their parts and elements brought to life a variety of spatial solutions in architecture of tem - ples, villas and cathedrals. However the attempts to lit - erally build the thermae similar to Roman ones in time of Renessaince were rare to encounter. The most detailed description of Renessaince ther - mae was given by Giorgio Vasari in the life story “ On Le - one Leoni Aretino and other sculptors and architects” which involves the brief biography of Galeazzo Aless - si. It narrates, among others, about the thermae built by Galeazzo Alesssi on Grimaldi (later Sauli) villa in Bisagno nearby Genova (the building was not saved). According to Vasari, the thermae were octagonally planned pavilion with the round pool in its centre. The interior was worked in antique style. The article gives an insight into efforts to build the private thermae during Renaissance, prior to Villa Grimaldi’s pavilion, which testifies to customers’ looking to reconstruct all’antica lifestyle in private life particularly on the villa which, following an - cient men of latters was regarded as ‘temple of muses’.

Born in Marostica, in the Republic of Venice, in his youth he served in the Milanese army, but in 1574 he decided to study medicine at the University of Padova, where he graduated in 1578. After a short period as a doctor in Camposampiero (Padova, Italy), he became the personal doctor of Giorgio Emo, the appointed consul in Cairo in Egypt. In this way, he was able to devote himself to the study of botany. In this country, from the cultivation practices of the date palm, he described for the first time the sexual dimorphism in plants, later adopted as the basis of Linnaeus’ scientific classification system. Since then, this behavior, termed dioecy, has been described in other plant species, and many advances have been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, especially with the advent of genomics. Starting from a brief description of Prospero’s life and his pioneering scientific contribution, we illustrated the two main models explaining dioecism. This was achieved by taking a cue from two plant species, grapevine and poplar, in which genomics and single molecule sequencing technologies played a pivotal role in scientific advance in this field.

Abstract:
The reduction of buildings energy demand represents one of the main goals in developed countries in order to achieve a sustainable future. In Italy a significant number of public administration offices are located in historical buildings, especially in small provincial towns. In this paper the analysis of the energy and environmental effects deriving from the plant renovation of the Palazzo San Giorgio, the building offices of the municipality of Campobasso (Southern Italy), is carried out. The simulation model of the building-plant system has been implemented with the TRNSYS software using data collected in the survey campaign. It has been calibrated on the basis of the billed electricity and gas consumption and then, further used to evaluate the reduction of the building primary energy demands and CO2 emissions deriving from some non-invasive energy refurbishment measures: led lighting, thermostatic valves, cogeneration system and photovoltaic plant. The latter was considered in two variants: the first one provides a system completely integrated into the roof, the second one high efficiency non-integrated panels. The interventions have been evaluated both individually and combined. A primary energy saving of about 47% and a reduction in CO2 emissions of 73% are obtained with the best combined renovation action.

Abstract:
In July 1991, thirty-five scholars met at the fourteenth-century Certosa of Pontignano in Siena for a three-day colloquium (jointly sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council, the Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique and the Università degli Studi di Siena) on the topic of relationships between cadets et aînés, or younger and elder siblings. The geographical interests of the participants ranged from the frontier of the North American continent to the whole of the European, while their collective temporal expertise extended from biblical times to the present. The structure of the thematic sessions and the specific issues addressed in the course of the colloquium had been set out in countless early meetings of a ‘scientific committee’, comprising Georges Ravis-Giordani, Pier Giorgio Solinas, Martine Segalen, Lloyd Bonfield and Richard Wall. In large measure, the membership of that committee with respect to discipline and the scholarly agenda that it produced resembled the articulated goals of Continuity and Change. It therefore seemed appropriate that a selection of papers read at the meeting, and subsequently revised in light of the lively dialogue that followed the formal presentations, should provide the basis for the fifth special issue to grace the pages of this journal.

Abstract:
In this paper, I will explore the problem of subjectivity in the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben and Alain Badiou, based on their interpretations of Saint Paul. In Agamben’s reading, St. Paul’s letters have a messianic structure that can be linked to a specific form of subjectivation, closely related to the concept of “vocation” or “calling” (klētós). In Badiou’s case, the political universality introduced in the Pauline letters is explained through the ontological relation between the concepts of event and truth. In Agamben’s and Badiou’s thought, the concepts of subject and subjectivity appear in a different conceptual framework, despite sharing the same starting point. The Badiouian approach aims to present the messianic motivation found in the writings of St. Paul from an ontological and political perspective through which the concepts of event and subject are related. Agamben situates the messianic klētós on a political basis from which he connects the linguistic expressions of the Pauline letters to the problem of subjectivization. Despite their different ontological framework, Agamben and Badiou offer an emancipatory political-philosophical perspective whose conceptual constitution is both the universality of the event and the ‘remainder’ (resto) of subjectivity based on difference through a specific linguistic expression, the hōs mē.

Abstract:
Abstract. An hybrid model, consisting of GIS and metamodel (model of model) procedures, was introduced with the aim of estimating the 1-D spatial seismic site response. Inputs and outputs are provided and processed by means of an appropriate GIS model, named GIS Cubic Model (GCM). This discretizes the seismic underground half-space in a pseudo-tridimensional way. GCM consists of a layered parametric structure aimed at resolving a predicted metamodel by means of pixel to pixel vertical computing. The metamodel leading to the determination of a bilinear-polynomial function is able to design the classic shape of the spectral acceleration response in relation to the main physical parameters that characterize the spectrum itself. The main physical parameters consist of (i) the average shear wave velocity of the shallow layer, (ii) the fundamental period and, (iii) the period where the spatial spectral response is required. The metamodel is calibrated on theoretical spectral accelerations regarding the local likely Vs-profiles, which are obtained using the Monte Carlo simulation technique on the basis of the GCM information. Therefore, via the GCM structure and the metamodel, the hybrid model provides maps of normalized acceleration response spectra. The hybrid model was applied and tested on the built-up area of the San Giorgio del Sannio village, located in a high-risk seismic zone of Southern Italy.

Abstract:
This paper addresses the claim that the social orders of Western civilization operate on the basis of the law’s presumed sovereignty over life. I demonstrate how the respective works of Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben and French phenomenologist Michel Henry are joined in their concern over this issue, and in their shared belief that life can be made sovereign over the law through a communal life based upon habit. At the same time, I argue that their respective conceptions of this communal life are flawed, and that they would benefit from being brought into a productive dialogue with one another. More specifically, I show that Henry’s account of a Christian communal life based upon the habitual practice of love moves at least some way toward addressing Agamben’s account of a coming community that is decidedly abstract and lacking in a substantial ethic. However, I maintain that Henry’s own account of this community is founded upon a problematic conception of potentiality that would benefit from Agamben’s study of the matter. By bringing these two figures together and drawing out the lessons that can be learnt from each of them, this work provides a more concrete and substantial account of how a coming Christian community can play a role in making life sovereign over the force of the law.

Abstract:
In the context of Dmitry Alexandrovich Prigov’s audacious “lifelong” project, an encyclopedic perspective can be traced quite clearly through various approaches, languages and methodologies throughout the artist’s creative career. Prigov’s Bestiaries not only deviate from the traditional path of encyclopedic genealogy; they are the prototype of later, more pronounced taxonomic projects, and even act as a reference to what he called his “lifelong project”. Our task is to show how the Bestiaries series is not only a study of the Russian cultural space, but is also the very concept of Prigov’s anthropology from the beginning of the history of culture to the present day in a post-Soviet and even post-human perspective, thus asserting itself as a proto-encyclopedia of his New Anthropology. In the process of researching, methods such as theoretical, general philosophical analyses (systemic method, analysis, analogy, synthesis) were used, including the analysis of texts, interviews and artistic production of Prigov. The sociological methods are also taken as the basis for drawing conclusions and the main approach moves from a semiotic and poststructuralist point of view, especially the theory of culture of Yuri Lotman, the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben and George Bataille. Thus, we have outlined the importance of the Bestaries in presenting the theory of cultural evolution of Dmitry Prigov and his “new anthropology”, referring to this series on the role of the visual conclusion of his new anthropological system

Abstract:
The concern with stabilising the political and avoiding the excessive deployments of coercive force by totalitarian political imaginations is usually associated with political liberalism and liberal political theory. It is rarely associated with political theology and conceptions of sovereignty that are based on political theology. The unique contribution of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben to contemporary political theory is the opportunity it offers to contemplate the stabilisation of the political in terms of political theology and not in terms of typical rule of law arguments that one would associate with political liberalism. The aim of this article is to trace and question some of the essential thoughts on the basis of which Agamben puts forward the idea of the called existence of the Christian community. It does so in order to put forward, in response, an argument for a literary community that has much in common with Agamben's conception of the Christian ekklesia, but ultimately also differs from it in certain important respects. The argument for a literary community that is developed ultimately has more in common with Nancy's conception of an “inoperative community”. The article also offers a close scrutiny of Agamben's engagement with the work of Carl Schmitt. This scrutiny of Agamben's engagement with Schmitt is crucial for the argument that the article forwards, considering the way in which Schmitt's work is with good reason historically linked to exactly the kind of political theology that destabilises rather than stabilises the political.

Nam, Ju Yun, and Eun Ja Wang. "A Qualitative Study on the Psychological Difficulties of Non-regular workers: Focusing on Repeated Experiences of Signing Labor Contracts." Korean Academy Welfare Counseling 12, no. 1 (April 30, 2023): 151–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.20497/jwce.2023.12.1.151.
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine the phenomenon that non-regular workers experience subjectively in the process of repeatedly signing contracts of ‘termination and renewal of contracts’ in order to maintain employment, and to derive the essence and meaning of this experience. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with 6 non-regular workers who had repeatedly experienced the conclusion of labor contracts while working as non-regular workers, and the collected interview data were analyzed using the descriptive phenomenology research method of Giorgi (2009). As a result of the study, the experience of psychological difficulties of non-regular workers who repeatedly signed labor contracts was derived with 6 components and 14 sub-components. The six components are ‘hope torture begins’, ‘struggling in the snare of renewal contract’, ‘relative deprivation spreads through life’, ‘employment contract shapes the meaning of work’, and ‘the responsibility of the head of the family is strict’, appeared as ‘The union becomes a support and creates tomorrow’. This study seeks to expand the understanding of the psychological difficulties of non-regular workers and their awareness of job insecurity by exploring the experiences of non-regular workers repeatedly signing labor contracts, and to provide a basis for in-depth discussions on their experiences to provide a professional solution for them. It is meaningful in that it presents the implications of assistance and intervention measures.

Fokin, C. V. "Zombie of Biopower: Is the Concept Outdated?" Journal of Political Theory, Political Philosophy and Sociology of Politics Politeia 103, no. 4 (December 9, 2021): 43–62. http://dx.doi.org/10.30570/2078-5089-2021-103-4-43-62.
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the discussion about what the concept of biopower, developed within the framework of the postmodern critical theory, means in the context of the modern world, both in general theoretical and empirical sense. According to the author’s conclusion, although this concept remains significant for Political Science, it is largely outdated and could turn into a scientific zombie idea. Giorgio Agamben, one of the classics of Political Philosophy, who denied the danger of the COVID-19 pandemic on the basis of the methodology of biopolitics, is case in point. Another evidence comes from the fact that researchers from different countries, including Russia, increasingly look for new approaches and tools of the biopolitical analysis, and try to saturate the concept with new ideas and data. This article proposes three ways how to make biopolitical research more relevant today. One way is to rethink the normative/moral foundations of biopower, to reject an implicitly negative assessment of the concept. Another way is to expand the historical framework, to pay greater attention to historical cases that allow us to trace different stages of the evolution of biopolitical patterns, to focus on the analysis of specific manifestations of biopower in concrete situations. The third way is to move towards the synthesis of critical biopolitics and evolutionary biopolitics, which draws data from the natural sciences. According to the author, these efforts together will make it possible to move from the unidirectional asymmetric link “the political influences the bio logical” to a more complex scheme of mutual reflective influence of the political and the biological.

Cardeño, Rhena M. "Lived Experiences of Struggling Readers in Junior High School." American Journal of Education and Technology 3, no. 1 (January 11, 2024): 18–24. http://dx.doi.org/10.54536/ajet.v3i1.2088.
Abstract:
This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of struggling readers in junior high school. This study was limited to four (4) participants who were under frustration reading level and had repeated grade 7. It was very particular with the lived experiences of the participants which resulted in their difficulties. Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological study was the basis of this study. In light of the findings, the following conclusions were drawn. Participants in this study experienced difficulties such as emotional, academic, and behavioral problems. However, through this phenomenon, the participants were able to cope by emotion-focused mechanisms which were considered as poor coping mechanisms wherein the participants opted to exert effort to regulate the emotional consequences of stressful or potentially stressful events. One coping strategy that emerged was Physical Distancing wherein participants distance themselves from the things or people that give them stress or move away from a threat. Another coping mechanism exemplified by the participants was the Emotional Distancing strategy wherein struggling readers move away emotionally. It was likely that experiences, themes, techniques, and strategies described by students in this population would give teachers a new outlook from which they can enhance learning outcomes. The following recommendations were laid down: the use of a holistic approach in reading intervention since struggling readers experience difficulties in different aspects of life such as emotional, academic, and behavioral aspects; conducting a phenomenological study on the life of elementary struggling readers is also recommended since there is a much bigger number of struggling elementary readers in some regions in the country.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to increase accessibility to qualitative research by providing specific data on how counseling and qualitative research interact with each other by examining the experiences of graduate students majoring in counseling. To this end, the data was analyzed by conducting in-depth interviews with a total of seven graduate students majoring in counseling by applying the Giorgi phenomenological research method. As a result of the data analysis, 21 subcomponents and 8 components were derived. The results of the study were ‘Interest in myself and others becomes the basis of the study’, ‘Experienced trial and error in interviews with research participants’, ‘Trying to elicit the story of the research participants’, ‘Appropriate distance from research participants’, ‘I tried to maintain the quality of my research’, ‘Feeling that the work of a counselor and a qualitative researcher is similar’, ‘Growing up as a counselor through research’, ‘I myself grew up’, and ‘I came to know the meaning of research’. This study is meaningful in that it provided an in-depth understanding of the experience of performing qualitative research of graduate students in counseling major. In addition, basic data on the attitudes that graduate students of counseling major should have while conducting qualitative research are provided. This study is meaningful in that it increases access to qualitative research among graduate students of counseling majors and provides data on the connection between qualitative research and the development of counselors

Abstract:
Diabetes is a chronic, complex disease involving numerous pathophysiological features. There is a paucity of studies relating to psychological factors. The available research is not conclusive and in addition is largely quantitative in nature. The aim of this investigation was to gain an understanding of the life-world of people with diabetes and to acquire insight into the demanding aspects of their lives. The research procedure involved interviewing subjects who suffer from diabetes. A pilot study was conducted in order to test a number of open-ended questions. On the basis of these results, a set of semi-structured questions was formulated for the main study. The main study involved interviews with 13 subjects aged between 20 and 45 years who belonged to a diabetic organization and who volunteered for the investigation. The interviews were recorded on audiotape and later transcribed. Five of the protocols obtained were analyzed according to the method outlined by Giorgi and they produced an encompassing description of the life-world of a diabetic. The themes which emerged included the appearance of the first symptoms and their effect on people with diabetes, the impact of the diagnosis, the emerging pattern of the life-world of people with diabetes and the prospects for the future. The phenomenological approach proved valuable in highlighting many aspects of diabetes. Recommendations are made which may be of benefit to people with diabetes and their families.

Abstract:
Il presente articolo è uscito negli atti del Convegno Linguistica testuale della Società di Linguistica italiana del 1982, edito nel 1984, e poi ripubblicato nel volume che raccoglie i principali articoli di Adriano Colombo da Guido Armellini e Giorgio Graffi nel 2021. Abbiamo deciso di ripubblicarlo all’inizio di una monografia sul tema della coordinazione e giustapposizione in quanto inaugura la distinzione tra coordinazione e giustapposizione, proponendo alcuni principi teorici di cui abbiamo poi seguito lo sviluppo. Nel suo intervento, Colombo esplicita le carenze che mostrano le grammatiche della scuola media dell’epoca nel descrivere il fenomeno della coordinazione, per poi proporne una nuova definizione. Distingue quindi tra le vere congiunzioni coordinanti, che sono solo e, o, ma (e i loro derivati, nonché le congiunzioni correlative sia… sia…, né… né… ), e tutte le altre forme (quindi, allora, perciò… ecc.) che definisce avverbi connettori testuali, o avverbiali anaforici sulla base di due proprietà (la cooccorrenza e il vincolo alla posizione iniziale), che assimilano le congiunzioni coordinanti alle subordinanti, separandole invece dagli avverbi connettivi. La distinzione è importante perché mentre le frasi coordinate fanno parte della frase complessa, con le frasi giustapposte – anche se collegate semanticamente da avverbi anaforici – si passa alla dimensione del testo. Il tema verrà poi ripreso ed ampliato da Colombo nel volumetto La coordinazione, uscito per Carocci nel 2012 e successivamente ulteriormente messo a fuoco da Michele Prandi.
Coordination and textual cohesion: for a reasonable didactic grammar
This article was published amongst the proceedings of the Conference on Linguistica testuale by the Società di Linguistica italiana in 1982, edited in 1984, and then republished in a volume collecting the main articles of Adriano Colombo by Guido Armellini and Giorgio Graffi in 2021. We decided to republish it at the beginning of a monograph on the topic of coordination and juxtaposition as it inaugurates the distinction between coordination and juxtaposition, proposing some theoretical principles whose development we then followed closely. In his paper, Colombo explicates the shortcomings shown by the grammars in middle school at that time in describing the phenomenon of coordination, and then proposes a new definition; this makes a distinction between true coordinating conjunctions, which are only e, o, ma(and their derivatives, as well as the correlative conjunctions sia… sia…, né… né…), and all the other forms (quindi,allora, perciò... etc.), which he defines as textual connective adverbs, or anaphoric adverbs on the basis of two properties (co-occurrence and constraint on initial position), which assimilate co-ordinating conjunctions to subordinating conjunctions, separating them instead from connective adverbs. This distinction is important because while co-ordinated phrases are part of the complex sentence, with juxtaposed phrases – even if semantically linked by anaphoric adverbs – we move instead into the textual dimension. The topic was later taken up and expanded by Colombo in the booklet La coordinazione, published by Carocci in 2012 and later further focused on by Michele Prandi.

Abstract:
This article brings to bear different strands of critical theory on the issue of police violence and securitarian capitalism, with a focus on the current situation in France, discussing Judith Butler’s argument for nonviolence in The Force of Nonviolence in relation to Jacques Rancière’s distinction of politics and police, Giorgio Agamben’s ideas of gesture and act, and Silvia Federici’s understanding of primitive accumulation and reproductive commons. These authors, from their different perspectives, address how the questions of the distribution and the legitimation of violence involve forms of individuation that cut into a common dimension of relationality and interdepen- dency, systematically denying structural violence. On this basis, they understand the ethics and politics of nonviolence to be the matter of a common use of bodies: Butler, in the sense of an aggressive defence of those interrelational bonds that are formative of human subjects; Agamben, in the sense of a shift in our mode of thinking and doing from property and belonging to use and dwelling, as part of the destitution of the biopolitical and juridical capture of lives; Federici, as forms of mutual support organised in a struggle against the imposition of capitalist relations of production and reproduction. Moving from the question of the figuration of violence and the State’s semantic monopoly on its attribution to that of police violence and its centrality in the current paradigm of government, the article connects the various epistemologies of subjectivity in Butler, Agamben, and Federici to the critique of techniques of individuation and structural forms of vulnerabilisation that are characteristic of the police State, proposing an anarchist perspective on nonviolence as part of a larger defence of reproductive and gestural commons.

PeerJ 9 (May 6, 2021): e11179. http://dx.doi.org/10.7717/peerj.11179.
Abstract:
Besanosaurus leptorhynchus Dal Sasso & Pinna, 1996 was described on the basis of a single fossil excavated near Besano (Italy) nearly three decades ago. Here, we re-examine its cranial osteology and assign five additional specimens to B. leptorhynchus, four of which were so far undescribed. All of the referred specimens were collected from the Middle Triassic outcrops of the Monte San Giorgio area (Italy/Switzerland) and are housed in various museum collections in Europe. The revised diagnosis of the taxon includes the following combination of cranial characters: extreme longirostry; an elongate frontal not participating in the supratemporal fenestra; a prominent ‘triangular process’ of the quadrate; a caudoventral exposure of the postorbital on the skull roof; a prominent coronoid (preglenoid) process of the surangular; tiny conical teeth with coarsely-striated crown surfaces and deeply-grooved roots; mesial maxillary teeth set in sockets; distal maxillary teeth set in a short groove. All these characters are shared with the holotype of Mikadocephalus gracilirostris Maisch & Matzke, 1997, which we consider as a junior synonym of B. leptorhynchus. An updated phylogenetic analysis, which includes revised scores for B. leptorhynchus and several other shastasaurids, recovers B. leptorhynchus as a basal merriamosaurian, but it is unclear if Shastasauridae form a clade, or represent a paraphyletic group. The inferred body length of the examined specimens ranges from 1 m to about 8 m. The extreme longirostry suggests that B. leptorhynchus primarily fed on small and elusive prey, feeding lower in the food web than an apex predator: a novel ecological specialisation never reported before the Anisian in a large diapsid. This specialization might have triggered an increase of body size and helped to maintain low competition among the diverse ichthyosaur fauna of the Besano Formation.

Land 11, no. 9 (September 14, 2022): 1568. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/land11091568.
Abstract:
The challenges of sustainable development are mainly concentrated in the cities. Therefore, they represent a key place for implementing strategies and actions to achieve (or not achieve) sustainable development objectives. In this perspective, the circular city model represents a new way of organizing the city. As demonstrated by a variety of best practices, the entry points for triggering circular processes at the urban scale are various. In this paper, cultural heritage is presented as the entry point for the implementation of this new urban development model. The focus here is on the implementation tools, with a particular emphasis on the evaluation tools for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of this model, that is, the multidimensional benefits that it can produce. The Level(s) tool, proposed by the European Commission in 2017, is the only officially recognised assessment tool related to the circular economy at the European level. It aims to evaluate the performance of new buildings from a circular economy perspective. This paper intends to expand the field of action of the aforementioned tool to projects related to cultural heritage. Nevertheless, the Level(s) tool has some weaknesses in relation to values and attributes that need to be considered when dealing with cultural heritage. This paper proposes an evaluation framework for assessing cultural heritage renovation and reuse projects, considering all its values and the multidimensional impacts that they are able to produce (economic, social, environmental impacts) in the city. The starting point for the development of the proposed evaluation framework is the Level(s) tool by the European Commission. On the basis of critical considerations, this tool is integrated with criteria and indicators deduced from other previous studies and other official tools on this issue (Green Building Council and Heritage Impact Assessment tools). The evaluation framework is here tested to evaluate the renovation/reuse project of Villa Vannucchi, a historic building located in the city of San Giorgio a Cremano in the metropolitan city of Naples (Italy).

Abstract:
The relationship between minjung theology and the process of social change called secularization or theoretical and practical projects based on such processes of social change is complex. It requires more detailed discussions. Therefore, this paper seeks to reinterpret minjung theology as a theological minjung project using the methodology of new-style phenomenology of religion with a theoretical basis on Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s conceptions of secularization and profanation as projects with religious intentions and orientations. Through this reinterpretation, the paper demonstrates that minjung theology in relation to secularization is a unique theological project with very different goals from those of Latin American liberation theology as well as other political and situation theologies. In order to accomplish this purpose, the paper first introduces French sociologist Émile Durkheim who has explained secularization differently from German sociologist Max Weber. It then shows that secularization is not the only way in which the sacred is reappropriated through Agamben’s discussions of secularization and profanation. To identify the passage from secularization to profanation of the concept of minjung, this paper analyzes the minjung-event theory of Byung-Mu Ahn, a representative first-generation minjung theologian. This theory emphasizes the importance of “event” as a way of understanding minjung instead of defining it conceptually. Insofar as it presents the minjung as an intrinsically unnamable, invisible, and unpredictable event, a form of religious phenomenon called “the sacred”, minjung-event theory involves an attempt to secularize Jesus-Messiah as the Minjung-Messiah. In conclusion, this paper argues that beyond the secularization of the Messiah into the Minjung, minjung-event theory moves toward a dialectical project of desacralization and re-sacralization, in which the minjung itself is profaned into an event.

Abstract:
Tapestry is a type of simple weaving structure composed of braiding of warp and feed threads. Currently, tapestry has begun to develop in Indonesian regions such as Bali. This tapestry is widely used as a wall decoration or applied to other products. This study aims to determine the development of tapestry in Bali and its preservation efforts so that it can be used as a reference or reference in understanding tapestry. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, documentation, and literature studies on tapestry. The theory used is the tapestry theory to describe more specifically about tapestry and its patterns, and use aesthetic theory. The results of this study show that the development of tapestry has entered Bali and is widely traded, even tapestry craftsmen can be found in Bali but there are still many people who do not know or know about tapestry. The development of motifs can be seen in the diversity of motifs consisting of natural motifs, batik motifs, and abstract motifs. Techniques have also developed, namely there are flat techniques, soumak, giordes, hook joints, and kilite joints. The use of colors has also been diverse and brighter. The Indonesian Institute of the Arts Denpasar also develops tapestry by providing tapestry courses to students and even making tapestri workshops. The conclusion that can be conveyed is that in Bali tapestry has developed in terms of craftsmen / students, motifs, techniques, and their concentration.Keywords: tapestry, development, Bali, learning.

Ghaghanidze, Merab. "The Pope of Rome – a Desirable Celebrant of the Mass for King Davit – in the Prologue of the Poem “The Man in the Panther’s Skin”." Kadmos 14 (2022): 123–46. http://dx.doi.org/10.32859/kadmos/14/123-146.
Abstract:
The text of the famous Georgian poem “The Man in the Panther’s Skin” arrived to us in the present day through relatively different versions, preserved in numerous manuscripts. Respectively, numerous differences can be found in the prologue of the poem (a final version of which has not yet been established), as presented in those various manuscripts. The prologue of the poem in several old manuscripts contains two stanzas dedicated to King Davit, whose identity has yet to be determined, although several opinions have been expressed – e.g. by Sargis Kakabadze – as to who he might be. In the two stanzas, the king is portrayed as a very powerful and influential monarch, to whom even the neighboring monarchs submit. The author of the poem also presents a local monarchical legend, according to which the Georgian king is a descendant of the biblical King David. The poet also opines that a holy mass should be celebrated by the Pope in the name of the king. A scrupulous analysis has allowed me to advance the supposition that the King Davit of the prologue of the poem is King Davit X (1505-1525) of Kartli, who considered himself the King of All Georgia. The statement that it is necessary for a mass in the name of the king to be celebrated by the Pope takes its basis in the close relationship of Georgia with the Roman See, which became especially intense during the reign of King Davit's grandfather Giorgi VIII and his father Konstantine II, and continued during the reign of Davit’s son Luarsab I, and his grandson Svimon I. Some documents about King Davit himself, of which there are few, also support the supposition that King Davit of the prologue of the poem “The Man in the Panther’s Skin” was indeed King Davit X.

Fort, Jeff. "André Bazin's Eternal Returns: An Ontological Revision." Film-Philosophy 25, no. 1 (February 2021): 42–61. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/film.2021.0156.
Abstract:
The recent publication of André Bazin's Écrits complets (2018), an enormous two-volume edition of 3000 pages which increases ten-fold Bazin's available corpus, provides opportunities for renewed reflection on, and possibly for substantial revisions of, this key figure in film theory. On the basis of several essays, I propose a drastic rereading of Bazin's most explicitly philosophical notion of “ontology.” This all too familiar notion, long settled into a rather dust-laden couple (“Bazin and ontology”) nonetheless retains its fascination. Rather than attempting to provide a systematic reworking of this couple along well established lines, particularly those defined by realism and indexicality, this article proposes to shift the notion of ontology in Bazin from its determination as actual existence toward a more radical concept of ontology based on the notion of mimesis, particularly as articulated, in a Heideggerian mode, by Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. This more properly ontological concept, also paradoxically and radically improper, is shown to be at work already in Bazin's texts, and it allows us to see that far from simplistically naturalizing photographic technology, Bazin does the contrary: he technicizes nature. If Bazin says that the photograph is a flower or a snowflake, he also implies that, like photographs, these are likewise a kind of technical artifact, an auto-mimetic reproduction of nature. Bazin likewise refers to film as a kind of skin falling away from the body of History, an accumulating pellicule in which nature and history disturbingly merge. This shifted perspective on Bazin's thinking is extended further in reference to Georges Didi-Huberman on the highly mimetic creatures known as phasmids, insects that mimic their environement. I extend this into the dynamic notion of eternal return, an implicit dimension of Bazin's thinking, clarified here in reference to Giorgio Agamben and the “immemorial image” which, like Bazin's “Death Every Afternoon,” presents an eminently repeatable deathly image, an animated corpse-world that can be likened to hell.

Lee, SeonHyeon. "‘Bare Life’ and Judith Butler’s Misinterpretations:A Critical Review of Butler’s Intervention and a Comparative Study on Diaspora’s Identity." Criticism and Theory Society of Korea 28, no. 1 (February 28, 2023): 157–86. http://dx.doi.org/10.19116/theory.2023.28.1.157.
Abstract:
Giorgio Agamben’s ideas of sovereign power and ‘Homo Sacer’ received a lot of criticism because the decline of nation-states due to globalization tends to be equated with the weakening of sovereignty. Especially, Judith Butler argues that the process of removing the heterogeneity within the citizens to invent those who are the foundation of the nation-state cannot be explained by the operation of sovereign power and the mass production of ‘bare lives’ presented by Agamben. Butler explains the ‘statelessness’ in the sense that the situation of global violence is out of territorial conditions, and also highlights the ‘statelessness’ to deconstruct the basis of the nation-state and explore the possibility of resisting it. According to her, given the diaspora produced across territories and the operation of power, this violent exclusion today is caused by neoliberal governmentality, not sovereign power. And it is necessary to see power working in many ways to materialize the diaspora and resist state violence. For Butler, the concept of diaspora is presented as a resistance practice and ethical request of the dispossessed. However, this thesis aims to reveal that Butler’s criticism against ‘bare life’ is misread. Butler’s misinterpretation arises from the difference in perspective of Agamben, who reads Michel Foucault and Hannah Arendt. If sovereignty is an anachronism to Butler, the original form of sovereignty is biopolitics to Agamben. In addition, Butler considers Arendt distinguishing between the public and private realms and maintaining a discriminatory perspective on the private, whereas Agamben reads that Arendt paid attention to the modern reality in which this public/private distinction is collapsing. Unlike Butler’s criticism, ‘bare life’ does not exist outside of the polity or power. Even if the citizen belong to the nation state, there is the potential for them to become a “bare life,” or diaspora at any time, which reveals the possibility of rethinking the identity of the diaspora.

Abstract:
Straipsnyje pristatomas tyrimas analizuoja artimo žmogaus netekties įprasminimo fenomeną. Studija remiasi septynių tyrimo dalyvių patyrimu. Visi jie išgyveno netektį žmogaus, su kuriuo juos siejo artimas ryšys, ir kurį jie, nepagydomai sergantį, slaugė iki jo mirties. Šiuo tyrimu siekiama konkrečioje netekties patyrimo situacijoje įvardyti esminę šio patyrimo įprasminimo struktūrą – gauti aiškius ir sisteminius aprašymus. Giluminio interviu metu gauti netekties įprasminimo tekstai buvo analizuojami A. Giorgi fenomenologiniu psichologinių tyrimų metodu – išgryninta trylika visiems dalyviams bendrų aspektų, atrastos penkios fenomeno sklaidos kryptys, įvardytos dvi esminės patyrimo įprasminimo erdvės, rezultatai apibendrinti viename apibrėžime. Remiantis tyrimo rezultatais, netekties įprasminimas atsiskleidžia kaip procesas, kuris reiškiasi kokybiniais pasaulėžiūros ir santykių pokyčiais. Artimo žmogaus netekusiojo pasaulėžiūros pokyčiai skleidžiasi trimis – patirčių įvertinimo, gautos naudos ir esminių būties tiesų suvokimo – lygmenimis. Santykių erdvėje išsiskiria santykių su artimuoju ir kokybiniai socialinių santykių pokyčiai.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: netektis, netekties įprasminimas, fenomenologinis tyrimas.PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF MEANING-MAKING FOR THE BEREAVEMENT OF A CLOSE PERSONJurgita Stanaitytė, Rimantas Kočiūnas SummaryThe study analyzes the phenomenon of meaning making for the bereavement of a person with whom they had close relationships, based on the experience of seven research participants. All of them had been nursing a relative till the death from an incurable disease. The study aims to identify the essential structure and get a clear and systematic description of meaning-making for the bereavement. All the data were collected in depth semi-structuredinterviews (lasting 50–80 minutes). The main question of the interview was “please remember and describe the specific situation or the moment when you understood that you have lost your a close person. What does this understanding mean to you?” An analysis of the interviews was performed on the basis of the A. Giorgi phenomenological psychological analysis method. At the end of the study, there were discovered and identified 13 essential aspects, 5 directions, and 2 fundamental spaces of meaning-making for the bereavement. All the findings were shared by every participant. The results were summarized into a single definition. First of all, results of the research have revealed that meaning-making for the bereavement is a process rather than a one-off event or situation. The results show that the meaning-making for the bereavement of a close person is mainly expressed by qualitative changes in relationships and in the world-view. In the area of qualitative changes in the relationships, it is worth to distinguish changes in the relationship with the relative one: here one can find a big concern for nursing the loved one, experiencing the ongoing existence of a dead relative and feeling a strong spiritual support from them because of the deep relations before death. The other changes in the area are qualitative changes in social relations.The area of qualitative changes in the world-view unfolds in three levels. The first level concerns the evaluation of experiences in time perspective: change in the attitude towards bereavement is reavealed; the evaluation of its emotional states becomes objective; and all these aspects are summarized as a valuable lesson for personal grow.The second level concerns the identification and appreciation of discovered benefits: the relevance of living here and now; the importance of changes in the personal system of the relevance of living here and now; the importance of changes in the personal system of values; and the recognition that relative’s attitude towards death affected the worldview of others. The third level unfolds the discovery of fundamental truths: the meaning of the experience of loss is perceived as metaphysical and beyond the limits of the human mind; the temporality of existence and the unknowability of death is recognized.Key words: bereavement, sense-making, phenomenological research.

Abstract:
Aleksandre Tsagareli is one of the prominent figures among the Kartvelologists of the nineteenth century. The scholar working at the University of St. Petersburg is more famous for his linguistic and archeographical works, although his contribution as a critic of Georgian literature of the nineteenth century should not be forgotten. It is true that his critical heritage is not extensive, but it is noteworthy for the history of Georgian literary criticism.
In 1870, Alexandre Tsagareli published in the newspaper “Droeba” (No. 2-7) an extensive cycle of articles “Our Unfortunate Literature in this Century”, which, although it is mainly aimed at discussing the work of Ilia Chavchavadze, at the same time offers an interesting characterization of Georgian literature of the nineteenth century, before Ilia Chavchavadze .
Aleksandre Tsagareli is one of the first in Georgian reality to discuss the relationship between cosmopolitanism and nationalism based on literature and art. He takes the completely correct point of view that the work of art will gain a universal, cosmopolitan meaning when it is deeply national in nature. Nationality of culture not only hinders its cosmopolitanism, but on the contrary, without it it is completely unattainable.
Alexandre Tsagareli is the first Georgian critic who periodizes the Georgian literature of the nineteenth century based on a certain conceptual basis. He distinguishes three main stages of the development of new Georgian literature and discusses the main representatives of these periods.
In spite of numerous disputed provisions, Alexandre Tsagarli’s critical observations on the new Georgian literature are noteworthy for many reasons. The main merit of his cycle of letters is that the author tries to understand Georgian literature of the nineteenth century as a systematic process, which is evidenced by the periodization of the literature proposed by him. The views of the critic about the genesis and artistic form of the work of Alexandre Chavchavadze, Nikoloz Baratashvili, Giorgi Eristavi, Ilia Chavchavadze later became a creative impetus for many researchers.
