Abstract:
In one of his articles, Octavian Paler draws attention in a metaphorical-mythologizing manner upon one of the risks taken by those who chose tradition as their source of inspiration. The epigonic spirit, because this is what he refers to, cannot escape idolatrising tradition, phenomenon that happens within an alterity of the creative identity, within the pettiness of controlling the artistic means, within the infatuation of his own image which is placed under the protection of the great creative figures. The epigone masters in an embryonic form some techniques which, for various reasons, he cannot manipulate creatively. He is somehow suspended between two sensibilities, hence his failure. On the one hand, he is not aware of the risk of assuming past sensibilities, and on the other, he does not assume his contemporariness. Giving in to the temptation of looking too much into the past, the epigonic artist loses his identifying sensibility. “The mistake of neo-classicism, with its statues painted or sculpted based and antique models, is Orpheus’ mistake. As we no longer have the soul of the ancient Greeks, imitating their art is useless because in art too, looking back kills if there is no conscience of the irreversibility. From this point of view, there is no turning back unless in order to desolate everything” (Paler, 2016, pp. 189-190). This quote refers to neo-classicism perceived in its most rudimentary form, in which it would identify itself with the epigonic phenomenon. Of course, no relation of equality can be claimed between an epigone and a neo-classicist. If we are to give a brief definition in which to establish a relationship between these two terms, the epigone is a neo-classicist that lacks fantasy. Neo-classicism means to creatively take over technical means, past sensibilities in order to anchor them in the tumultuousness of contemporary times. Neo-classicism represents the happiest mixture between past and present, that form of artistic reverberation in which modernity still makes room for the seal of the past. Not servility, not obedience, not anachronism which denote the incapacity to assimilate new composing techniques or the lack of vigour of creative energies, but the power to adapt to new sensibilities through restorative interventions. Starting from here, we will trace a re-echeloning line of various types of neo-classic sensibilities specific to the end of the 19th century and to the entire 20th century

Abstract:
Abstract The article, in a theoretical-historiographic perspective, discusses the current trend of studies on the history of education of the senses and sensibilities. It begins with the presentation of the theme "sensibilities" and its presence in different historiographical traditions, showing how this approach in the field of History is not new. Then, in its first part, it discusses the recent arrival of the theme in the debates of History of Education in Latin America. In the second part, it presents and situates a set of monographic studies developed by the Center for Studies on the Education of Senses and Sensibilities - Nupes, FAE/UFMG, in partnership with researchers from Brazil and other countries, discussing some of their basic assumptions. The text concludes by discussing the limits, risks, and scope of the history of education of the senses and sensibilities as a trend that balances between academic fad and the possibility of renovating the consecrated forms of investigating the past and the present of Latin American education.

Abstract:
From horse dung to garlic, olfactory debates raged in interwar Poland. Smells are ubiquitous and substantially influence how we perceive the atmosphere of a given place. This article focuses on ‘smell affairs’ and olfactory sensibilities that were emerging in the city of Lublin in Poland after 1918. In particular, it addresses what Lublin's courtyard smells tell us about the condition, development and mindset of a Polish city at that time. On their way into the ‘modern’ era, Lublin's citizens began to complain about rural elements interfering with the ‘metropolitan’ character of Lublin as well as how ‘ethnic smells’ of fellow Jewish citizens would intrude upon the air of ‘their’ ‘Polish’ city. Poking one's nose into the air and the ‘smellscapes’ of the urban courtyard, one can observe what was regarded as a part, or not, of a modern city in independent Poland.

Abstract:
During the latter part of the twentieth century, there was a country called Yugoslavia. Built on the ruins of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the post-World War II Socialist Federated Republic of Yugoslavia was an ethnically diverse state comprised of six republics, which, by the 1960s, was committed to a foreign policy of non-alignment and to the domestic programs of worker self–management and “brotherhood and unity” among its peoples (see, e.g., Banac 1984; P. Ramet 1985; Shoup 1968; Zimmerman 1987). Like most other European states, the decennial census became a defining feature of Yugoslavia's sovereignty and modernity (Kertzer and Arel 2002: 7).

Abstract:
AbstractPeople develop and deploy epistemic norms – normative sensibilities in light of which they regulate both their individual and community epistemic practice. There is a similarity to folk's epistemic normative sensibilities – and it is by virtue of this that folk commonly can rely on each other, and even work jointly to produce systems of true beliefs – a kind of epistemic common good. Agents not only regulate their belief forming practices in light of these sensitivities, but they make clear to others that they approve or disapprove of practices as these accord with their sensibilities – they thus regulate the belief forming practices of others in an interdependent pursuit of a good – something on the order of a community stock of true beliefs. Such general observations suggest ways in which common epistemic norms function as social norms, as these are characterized by Cristina Bicchieri's (2006) discussion of various kinds of norms. I draw on this framework – together with an important elaboration in Bicchieri (2017) – as it affords an analysis of the various related ways in which normative sensibilities function in communities of interdependent agents. The framework allows one to probe how these normative sensibilities function in the various associated choice situations. I argue that epistemic norms are fundamentally social norms, and, at the same time, they also are widely shared sensibilities about state-of-the-art ways of pursuing projects of individual veritistic value. The two foundations suggest the analogy of an arch.

Abstract:
This article demonstrates the way wounds, and affects generally, are figured by the writing of history. It traces patterns of thinking about the labyrinth primarily in histories, theories, and myths of the past 150 years to demonstrate how the labyrinth has been cut by colonization. From the Mycenaean colonization of Indigenous Cretans (inaccurately named “Minoans”) to the emergence of white feminism and its present day practice, figures of the labyrinth iteratively cut history to perpetuate the un/common loss of colonized communities and to enact white racist sensibilities of exclusion. Entangling Karen Barad’s cutting together-apart and Kent Ono’s colonial amnesia, colonizing cuts are constitutive exclusions that wound and exclude colonized communities from history and world making.

Full text
Abstract:
Pendant plusieurs décennies, des années 1950 jusqu’au début des années 2000, les nuits des ondes hertziennes françaises étaient peuplées de voix multiples, célèbres puis anonymes, souvent feutrées et confidentes. Ces voix s’accordaient à l’atmopshère de la nuit. Trouvant refuge dans cet espace-temps alternatif, elles profitaient de ces heures, situées en dehors du temps social majoritaire, pour s’exprimer. La radio nocturne constituait un espace de rêves et d’expérimentations, de rencontres et de dialogues, offrant aux auditeurs de la nuit un accompagnement, une fenêtre ouverte sur le monde, sur les autres et sur l’intime. Ce travail propose de retracer l’histoire de ces programmes des heures noires, à travers une approche chronologique de leur évolution. L’analyse des émissions est croisée avec celle de la réception, notamment permise par les courriers d’auditeurs, ainsi qu’avec l’observation des imaginaires véhiculés autour de l’objet «radio de nuit». Histoire des productions radiophoniques, des pratiques et des perceptions nocturnes, cette thèse entend mettre en lumière le monde des ondes de la nuit, distinguer les différentes phases de son développement, ainsi que ses spécificités. Situé au carrefour de l’histoire de la radio et de celle de la nuit, Micros de nuit se présente aussi comme une contribution à l’histoire des sensibilités du second vingtième siècle
During several decades, from the 1950’s until the beginning of the 2000’s, french night-time radio waves were filled with numerous voices, famous or anonymous, often muted and intimate. These voices matched well with the nocturnal atmosphere. Finding a refuge in this alternate space-time, they took advantage of these hours, located outside of the majority social time, to express theirselves. Night-time radio constituted a space for dreams and experimentations, meetings and dialogues, offering a support to night-time listeners, a window open to the rest of the world, the others and the intimacy. This study recounts the history of all-night french radio, throug a chronological approach, focusing on the broadcasts, their reception, as well as the imaginaries drifting around them. History of radio productions, nocturnal habits and perceptions, this thesis intend to highlight the wave night world, to distinguish its different phases and its key features. Located at the crossroad of radio history and night-time history, Micros de nuit constitutes also a contribution to an history of sensibilities for the second half of the 20th century

O principal objetivo desta pesquisa é tentar compreender algumas das motivações que, na metade do século passado, ainda orientavam as atividades de muitos grupos de intelectuais no interior do país. Assim, através da análise de um rico acervo epistolar acumulado entre 1948 e 1959 pelo Centro Cultural Euclides da Cunha, de Ponta Grossa (PR), o presente estudo procura desvendar a empolgação característica que cercava as atividades do grupo intelectual ali reunido. Ao se examinar hoje os indícios e vestígios encontrados nessa documentação, é possível perceber, por exemplo, a existência de um apego muito grande às lides científicoliterárias e ao trabalho intelectual diletante. Na mais remota das hipóteses e sem a menor dúvida, tais motivos devem ter ocupado tempo e espaço consideráveis nas vidas destas pessoas, devem ter mobilizado suas existências e, desse modo, forjado em grande parte suas identidades. Em última análise, estas questões devem ter tido um significado que agora irremediavelmente nos escapa. Tendo isso em vista, a proposta deste trabalho é tentar reconstruir este significado nos pormenores de suas dimensões social, conceitual e subjetiva, lançando mão para tanto de alguns conceitos e apontamentos enfeixados pela história cultural

Abstract:
Cette étude propose une approche du christianisme antique selon une perspective d’histoire des sensibilités. La douceur est très présente dans les sources chrétiennes antiques, pour décrire un ressenti sensoriel ou affectif éprouvé dans les différents champs de l’expérience religieuse : rituels sacramentels, liturgie, émotions collectives, mais aussi dans le contact avec la Bible, ou dans une forme d’expérience intérieure directe du divin. Nous nous sommes intéressés aux diverses manières dont ce vécu est exprimé et interprété, aux pratiques concrètes auxquelles il peut être relié, mais aussi au regard porté sur la douceur du point de vue des normes morales, ainsi qu’au rôle accordé à celle-ci dans la pédagogie déployée par les prédicateurs à l’égard des fidèles. Nous avons ainsi mis en lumière la dimension sensible et affective de l’expérience religieuse des chrétiens de l’Antiquité, et la valorisation dont la sensibilité fait l’objet, au regard des conceptions antiques, annonçant ainsi le Moyen Âge
This study approaches Ancient Christianity from the perspective of the history of sensibilities. Sweetness is very present in ancient Christian sources, to describe a sensory or affective feeling experienced in the various fields of religious experience: sacramental rituals, liturgy, collective emotions, but also in contact with the Bible, or in a form of direct inner experience of the divine. We are interested in the various ways in which this experience is expressed and interpreted, the concrete practices to which it can be linked, but also the way in which sweetness is viewed from the point of view of moral standards, and the role given to it in the pedagogy deployed by preachers towards the Christians. In this way, we have highlighted the sensitive and affective dimensions of the religious experience of ancient Christians, and the way in which sensitivity is valued in relation to ancient conceptions, thus heralding the Middle Ages

Education is one of the important issues relating to Republic in the first decades of the last century. This, especially in its school version, was an apparatus to lead the new generations for what it had become - or for what it wished to become - the nation, moving away from the imaginary and symbolic of the Second Empire. In order to do so, the republican education had its focus on guiding teachers not only to teach contents and methods, but inside and parallel to them, to improve the education of sensibilities of children and young people. One of the inversions in this experience are the pedagogical printed stuffs that, at a key moment in the press and in the school, carried out this impulse through the discursive structure composed especially of narratives, articles and prescriptions. Considering this framework, this thesis presents results of a research whose objective was to investigate topics of education of the sensibility in São Paulo in the first two decades of the twentieth century, which are substantially for the effort to produce sensitivities in accordance with the Republic. The research analyzed the Revista de Ensino da Associação Beneficente do Professorado Público Paulista and the Anuário de Ensino do Estado de São Paulo. It considered the myths in the form of reports, fictional or not; differentiated pedagogical orientations for boys and girls; the invention of a republican childhood, especially of scholarly character; the ambiguity of fantasies. The conclusions point out the strong gender division of prescriptions; the subjectivation of children and young people in school form, with emphasis on the processes of selfcontainment; the infantilization of the feminine, seen nature to be under social domination; the denegation of uncontrolled expressive forms, simultaneously with the valorization of the rituals of belonging to the Republic
Uma das importantes questões que se relacionam aos impulsos republicanos nas primeiras décadas do século passado é a educação. Esta, em especial em sua versão escolar, foi um dispositivo para formar as novas gerações para o que se tornara – ou para o que desejava tornar-se – a nação, afastando-se do registro imaginário e simbólico imperial. Para tanto, ocupou-se a educação republicana de orientar os mestres escolares não apenas nos termos dos conteúdos e métodos de ensino, mas, em seu interior e em paralelo a eles, pautar formas de educar as sensibilidades de crianças e jovens. Uma das formas investidas nessa experiência são os impressos pedagógicos que em momento chave da imprensa e da escola, levaram a cabo essa empreitada por meio da tessitura discursiva composta especialmente por narrativas, artigos e prescrições. Considerando este quadro, esta tese expõe resultados de uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi investigar aspectos desse processo de educação do sensível em São Paulo nas duas primeiras décadas do século vinte, marcantes para o esforço de produção de sensibilidades em conformidade com a República. Orientando-se pela análise de dois conjuntos de documentos, a Revista de Ensino da Associação Beneficente do Professorado Público Paulista e o Anuário de Ensino do Estado de São Paulo, foram analisados os mitos passadistas na forma de relatos, ficcionais ou não, a destinação de imperativos pedagógicos diferenciados para meninos e meninas, a invenção de uma infância republicana, especialmente de caráter escolarizado, a ambivalência das fantasias. As conclusões apontam para a rígida divisão de gênero nas prescrições; a subjetivação de crianças e jovens na forma escolar, com ênfase nos processos de contenção de si; a infantilização do feminino, visto como mais próximo da natureza a ser dominada; a denegação das formas expressivas não controladas, em simultaneidade com a valorização dos rituais de pertencimento à República

Resumo: Esse trabalho propõe-se a estudar os sites de arquivos públicos, em seus diálogos com práticas de memória, de ensino de História e de educação das sensibilidades na contemporaneidade. Para tal, elege como fontes os próprios sites de arquivos, bem como a literatura recente produzida por arquivistas e pesquisadores de ensino de História, referente às relações entre arquivos e educação. Esses dois conjuntos de fontes, ao serem entrecruzados, fazem emergir um uma rede de discursos e práticas que se articulam, internacionalmente, como tendências prevalecentes, na literatura e nas práticas recentes dessa área em que se configuram as aproximações entre arquivos e educação. O referencial bibliográfico, no trabalho de articular a multidisciplinaridade dos campos estudados às possibilidades de diálogo dos autores em seus enfoques teóricos e metodológicos, foi eleito tendo em vista entrecruzar os diferentes autores das áreas da arquivística, da história cultural e da educação, em algumas de suas aproximações e confrontos, a partir de questões elaboradas nos sucessivos diálogos com as fontes. As relações entre arquivos e educação são pensadas a partir da ótica da educação patrimonial, do ensino de História, da produção de conhecimentos históricos educacionais e da educação das sensibilidades. Nesses movimentos reflexivos, o trabalho revê alguns pressupostos das tendências prevalecentes na literatura e práticas das ações educativas nos arquivos online, localizando esses projetos no tempo e no espaço. Como horizonte, propõe-se a ampliar as possibilidades de experiências de educação em arquivos que estimulem leituras plurais e inventivas de seus registros, na relação com suas reproduções digitais, cujos conjuntos vêm sendo publicados nos sites de arquivos públicos e divulgados nas mídias contemporâneas.
Abstract: This thesis aims to study public archives websites, in their dialogues with memory practices, History teaching and education of sensibilities. To do so, it has elected these websites as sources for research, as well as recent literature produced by archivists and History teaching researchers on the subject of relationships between archives and education. These two sets of sources pointed to a network of discourses and practices internationally articulated, as recent prevailing trends in literature and practices on the interactions between archives and education. The bibliographic references were elected to articulate archivistics, cultural history and education fields, in some of its approaches and confrontations, based on questions raised by the sources. As a result, the relationships between education and archives are viewed through the optics of heritage education, History teaching, educative research on historical themes, and also as contemporary forms of education of sensibilities. In these movements, the thesis reviews some assumptions of prevailing trends in literature and recent practices of educational activities on archives websites, their methodological perspectives and historical trends. As horizon, it aims to enlarge the technological and educatives possibilities of experiences on archives that stimulate inventive readings of records, through their digital reproductions, whose collections have been published on the websites of public archives and spread in contemporary media.

Abstract:
This dissertation is a study of how the culture of sensibility was expressed in the everyday practices and social relations of the Gjörwell family. Headed by publicist, publisher and royal librarian Carl Christoffer Gjörwell (1731-1811), the Gjörwell family served as the centre of a wide circle of friends in late 18th-century Stockholm. Gjörwell has been regarded as one of the first Swedish representatives of 18th-century sensibility as well as an archetype of the Swedish cult of friendship. Due to his effusive emotional expressiveness and passionate friendships with other men, Gjörwell has largely been derided as effeminate by researchers from the 19th century onwards. Using theoretical perspectives from the field of the history of emotions (more concretely the perspectives of William Reddy, Barbara Rosenwein and Monique Scheer) this study centres on the emotional practices of the Gjörwell family, especially taking aspects of gender, class, sexuality and power into account. Gjörwell’s vast collection of family and friendship correspondence forms the empirical basis of this study. This study shows that the Gjörwell family and circle of friends in many ways could be regarded as an emotional community in which primarily emotions of happiness and joy are expressed. Furthermore, this study shows how the exercise of power could form part in the creation of an emotional community, as Gjörwell makes constant attempts to influence the way family members and friends manage their emotions, strongly dissuading them from the expression of melancholy. Although he has been viewed as effeminate by posterity, Gjörwell in fact regards himself as manly. This is due to his ability to remain joyful through adversities which testifies to his strong, and therefore manly, nervous organisation. This study thus further illustrates how a marked shift in masculine gender norms took place between the 18th and 19th centuries. This study also shows how expression of tender emotion could be a way of reinforcing personal status. This was due to the close association made between sensibility and virtue, in itself a central concept during this era. As Gjörwell is denied recognition in his professional life, the expression of tender emotion – and thus of virtue – becomes an important aspect of his personal life.

Abstract:
Three short pieces examine different kinds of conservatism in the work of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Anita Brookner and Joanna Trollope. Reviewing the television versions of Christie in the 1990s, I argue that they played down her modernity, opting instead for a nostalgia absent from the novels. Sayers’s far more Tory visions of England are then discussed. By way of a contrast, I raise two cheers for the liberalism of Merchant Ivory films, often accused of conservatism. And in the final piece, I take issue with the limitations of class sensibilities in the novels of Brookner and Trollope.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Calvinist and Catholic sensibilities in the work of four Scottish writers from the late Victorian period to the twenty-first century. Selected texts from the works of Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–94), Robin Jenkins (1912–2005), George Mackay Brown (1921–96), and Muriel Spark (1918–2006) are discussed as, variously, examples of Presbyterian atheism or agnosticism, Catholic devotion, and writing informed by the folkloric and supernatural inflections of the Scottish literary tradition. These works, authors, and theological perspectives are not read as inimical or unrelated to one another, but as part of the wider currents of faith and scepticism within Scottish writing.

Abstract:
This chapter puts bodies of social theory assembled in chapter 2, and a history of moral sensibilities in chapter 3, to work within the interrelated fields of probation, criminal justice, and penal policy. The argument advanced is that disparate bodies of social theory, in addition to a remaining vestige of religion, personalism, and ethico-humanitarian impulses, combine to excavate to provide an explanatory account of the political dynamics of modernisation and transformation. This is the central academic task of this chapter that puts to work a nuanced and multi-textured theoretical grid.

Abstract:
This concluding chapter shows that it is possible to incorporate postmodern sensibilities and methods into researching and writing Jewish history while preserving — and even enhancing — the fundamental coherence of the subject and the basic integrity of traditional historiographical methodology. Research, evidence, close reading, rational enquiry, and the positivist assumptions that historical description really does have a referent, and that logic or empirical proof can confirm new knowledge, still are the touchstones of the historical endeavour. This positivism, however, is a reformed one. It is both critical, deconstructing sources and reading them ‘against the grain’ (that is, exposing alternative views of reality to those their authors intended to convey), and self-critical, being candid about perspectives and presumptions. It is self-conscious about its epistemological assumptions, its interpretative principles, its rhetorical strategies and devices, and its practitioner's metahistorical biases.

Full text
Abstract:
The chapter commences with the social and cultural influences that shaped Burton’s character and sensibilities before his move to Edinburgh, the Scottish capital in 1830, including his involvement at Aberdeen’s Marischal College with a constituted ‘Society of Writers’ which it is suggested had much in common with the prominent Edinburgh writers associated with Blackwood’s Magazine. Drawing on a surviving manuscript, an account is provided of Burton’s prodigious trek of some 200 miles through the Highlands in 1829 as revealing a romantic sensibility expressed in terms of the aesthetic theories of the Sublime, the Beautiful and especially the Picturesque. In Edinburgh, Burton is identified as a recurrent figure in a number of partially-overlapping literary groups whose membership included Sir William Hamilton, Thomas Carlyle, Robert Chambers and George Combe. He is also shown as developing a nexus of relationships with leading Radical politicians, newspapermen and administrators, most notably Edwin Chadwick, yet also with a number of the establishment Whig grandees including Francis Jeffrey and Henry Cockburn. His associations are further explored with less mainstream figures such as Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, the novelist Catherine Crowe, Thomas De Quincey, and the painter David Scott, revealing more otherworldly preoccupations within the ‘Modern Athens’.

Full text
Abstract:
Effectively acting upon our most urgent crises requires a profound understanding of how to mentally inhabit the timescales at which they operate. This paper discusses the Deep Time Project on Climate Change, a new pedagogical experiment that aims to radically expand architecture’s time sensibilities under the premise that, as the geological actors that we have become, we must develop the deep time literacy demanded by the great challenge of becoming true planetary stewards. The argument is that the unprecedented global challenges we are facing today demand a paradigmatic shift in time perception by which deep (global) and shallow(planetary) timescales are acknowledged as entangled and as equally integral to the human condition. This shift, which starts with the recognition of deep time as part of human nature, will inevitably bring about new—and urgently needed—levels of consciousness to our ways of being in this planet. The DTPoCC aims to develop a new vantage point to rethink architecture’s agency in the current constellation of human and environmental crises and within the larger context of the deeper history of this planet. The narrower perspectives of mainstream architectural pedagogies have encapsulated the discipline within the boundaries of the global, limiting its agency to only what humans are capable of doing. The DTPoCC aims to incorporate the dimension of the planetary by which the agent of architecture expands, becoming a complex formation that involves humans and more-than-humans—from the technologies involved in the production of a building, for instance, to the geological substrate that supports it. By acknowledging the dimension of the planetary, the DTPoCC aims to unearth new conceptions of architecture in a world of entanglements between geological, technological, human, animal, and viral bodies co-producing the “web of life.”

Abstract:
The contemporary conjuncture of widespread ecological and social crises summons critical thinking about significant cultural changes in digital media design. The selection and classification practices that marked the history of slavery and colonization now rely on all types of nanotechnologies. On behalf of the future, bodies became expanded territory to sovereign intervention, where the role of contemporary powers enable extraction and mining of material, plumbed from the most intimate sphere of the self. This logic requires the state of exception to become the norm, so that the crisis is the digital media’s critical difference: they cut through the constant stream of information, differentiating the temporally valuable from the mundane, offering users a taste of real-time responsibility and empowerment. Thereby, this research aims to explore the dynamic transformations of the mediatic environment and their impacts on the fundamental relationships of human beings with the world, the self, and objects. It unfolds concerns around neocolonial assaults on human agency and autonomy that resonate from structuring patterns emerging from the digital infrastructure of neoliberalism and the relationships of human beings with the world. It disputes the imaginaries, representational regimes, and the possibilities of reality perceptions with universal, patriarchal, and extractive representations. This research also seeks alternative forms of media education and political resistance through its collaborative practice, pursuing an attentive and open-ended inquiry into the possibilities latent for designing new communication and information tools within lived material contexts: How might we represent invisible media infrastructures? How to produce knowledge about this space and present it publicly? How can these representations be politically mobilized as ecological and social arguments to establish a public debate? How can artistic sensibilities, aesthetics and the visual field influence what is thought of this frontier space? Finally, how can art, play and research intervene and participate? For this, the project involves participatory methods to create spaces for dialogue between different epistemologies, questioning the forms of ethical and creative reasoning in the planetary media and communication systems; for fostering the techno-politics imagination through playful, participatory futures and transition design frameworks as an ethical praxis of world-making; and for a reconceptualization of autonomy as an expression of radical interdependence between body, spaces, and materiality. The research aims to provide a framework for designing media tools, which incorporates core design principles and guidelines of agency and collective autonomy. It also engages with the transnational conversation on design, a contribution that stems from recent Latin American epistemic and political experiences and struggles, and the wider debate around alternative forms of restoring communal bonds, conquering public discussion spaces, and techno-political resistances through collaborative research practices and participatory methods.

Full text
Abstract:
Over recent decades Islamic traditions have emerged in new forms in different parts of the Muslim world, interacting differently with secular and neo-liberal patterns of thought and action. In Turkey Fethullah Gülen’s community has been a powerful player in the national debate about the place of Islam in individual and collective life. Through emphasis on the im- portance of ‘secular education’ and a commitment to the defence of both democratic princi- ples and international human rights, Gülen has diffused a new and appealing version of how a ‘good Muslim’ should act in contemporary society. In particular he has defended the role of Islam in the formation of individuals as ethically-responsible moral subjects, a project that overlaps significantly with the ‘secular’ one of forming responsible citizens. Concomitantly, he has shifted the Sufi emphasis on self-discipline/self-denial towards an active, socially- oriented service of others – a form of religious effort that implies a strongly ‘secular’ faith in the human ability to make this world better. This paper looks at the lives of some members of the community to show how this pattern of conduct has affected them. They say that teaching and learning ‘secular’ scientific subjects, combined with total dedication to the project of the movement, constitute, for them, ways to accomplish Islamic deeds and come closer to God. This leads to a consideration of how such a rethinking of Islamic activism has influenced po- litical and sociological transition in Turkey, and a discussion of the potential contribution of the movement towards the development of a more human society in contemporary Europe. From the 1920s onwards, in the context offered by the decline and collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Islamic thinkers, associations and social movements have proliferated their efforts in order to suggest ways to live a good “Muslim life” under newly emerging conditions. Prior to this period, different generations of Muslim Reformers had already argued the compat- ibility of Islam with reason and “modernity”, claiming for the need to renew Islamic tradition recurring to ijtihad. Yet until the end of the XIX century, traditional educational systems, public forms of Islam and models of government had not been dismissed. Only with the dismantlement of the Empire and the constitution of national governments in its different regions, Islamic intellectuals had to face the problem of arranging new patterns of action for Muslim people. With the establishment of multiple nation-states in the so-called Middle East, Islamic intel- lectuals had to cope with secular conceptions about the subject and its place and space for action in society. They had to come to terms with the definitive affirmation of secularism and the consequent process of reconfiguration of local sensibilities, forms of social organisation, and modes of action. As a consequence of these processes, Islamic thinkers started to place emphasis over believers’ individual choice and responsibility both in maintaining an Islamic conduct daily and in realising the values of Islamic society. While under the Ottoman rule to be part of the Islamic ummah was considered an implicit consequence of being a subject of the empire. Not many scientific works have looked at contemporary forms of Islam from this perspective. Usually Islamic instances are considered the outcome of an enduring and unchanging tradition, which try to reproduce itself in opposition to outer-imposed secular practices. Rarely present-day forms of Islamic reasoning and practice have been considered as the result of a process of adjustment to new styles of governance under the modern state. Instead, I argue that new Islamic patterns of action depend on a history of practical and conceptual revision they undertake under different and locally specific versions of secularism. From this perspective I will deal with the specific case of Fethullah Gülen, the head of one of the most famous and influent “renewalist” Islamic movements of contemporary Turkey. From the 1980s this Islamic leader has been able to weave a powerful network of invisible social ties from which he gets both economic and cultural capital. Yet what interests me most in this paper, is that with his open-minded and moderate arguments, Gülen has inspired many people in Turkey to live Islam in a new way. Recurring to ijtihad and drawing from secular epistemology specific ideas about moral agency, he has proposed to a wide public a very at- tractive path for being “good Muslims” in their daily conduct. After an introductive explanation of the movement’s project and of the ideas on which it is based, my aim will be to focus on such a pattern of action. Particular attention will be dedi- cated to Gülen’s conception of a “good Muslim” as a morally-guided agent, because such a conception reveals underneath secular ideas on both responsibility and moral agency. These considerations will constitute the basis from which we can look at the transformation of Islam – and more generally of “the religion” – in the contemporary world. Then a part will be dedicated to defining the specificity of Gülen’s proposal, which will be compared with that of other Islamic revivalist movements in other contexts. Some common point between them will merge from this comparison. Both indeed use the concept of respon- sibility in order to push subjects to actively engage in reviving Islam. Yet, on the other hand, I will show how Gülen’s followers distinguish themselves by the fact their commitment pos- sesses a socially-oriented and reformist character. Finally I will consider the proximity of Gülen’s conceptualisation of moral agency with that the modern state has organised around the idea of “civic virtues”. I argue Gülen’s recall for taking responsibility of social moral decline is a way of charging his followers with a similar burden the modern state has charged its citizens. Thus I suggest the Islamic leader’s pro- posal can be seen as the tentative of supporting the modernity project by defining a new and specific space to Islam and religion into it. This proposal opens the possibility of new and interesting forms of interconnection between secular ideas of modernity and the so-called “Islamic” ones. At the same time I think it sheds a new light over contemporary “renewalist” movements, which can be considered a concrete proposal about how to realise, in a different background, modern forms of governance by reconsidering their moral basis.
