Abstract:
Pirandello's twentieth-century play is so form-conscious and experimental in technique that it can be characterized as postmodernist. As the dominant of postmodernist literature, ontology has formed the poetics of Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author. The poetics of his play foregrounds ontology: different ontological planes are conceived in its world. Each of these planes – ontologies – stands for a world. Moreover, ontological foregrounding signifies breaking the ontological boundaries between the worlds in the play, hence the confusion of ontologies. The result has been the coexistence of different ontologies that induces ontological instability and indeterminacy in the structure of the play. In fact, the world logic of the six characters does not meet with that of the Actors, and it brings about ambiguity and a(n)(ontological) tension between their worlds.

Abstract:
Psychoactive substances are subject to law control, imposed through the system of medical prescription or legal prohibition, with legal penalties for their unauthorized use. The consumption of drugs in a non-medical contexts is often labelled as "drug abuse", and the substance used in this way as a “narcotic” - the term endowed with illegality (Goodman et al. 2017). While legal, medical and popular discourses attempt to establish the distinction between what is an illicit drug and what is a medicine by creating the presumptive ontologies of drugs, this way of approaching substances has become the object of critique within drug research associated with the ‘ontological turn’. Scholars in this field of study have destabilised the assumption of a fixed, ready-made, singular drug objects, postulating thinking about substance use as a mutable system of relations intertwined in the broader assemblages and ecologies of drug use. In this article, by using ethnographic examples and through the analysis of research conducted within the so called “psychedelic turn” movement, I demonstrate the fluidity and multiplicity of psychoactive substances and examine diverse ways in which the dominant – Euro-American – drug categorizations are undermined. I pose the question of how the border between what is an “illicit drug” and what is a “medicine” is stabilized and destabilized through the embodied users’ practices and scientific discourses.

Abstract:
The article considers the phenomena of unified and plural rationality, and hence the possibility or its absence to unify experience, culture, politics, economics, etc. To illustrate the problem, it is suggested to consider the differences between the modern and postmodern eras. It is attempted to deduce the ontological basis of cultural differences and the dynamics of knowledge development in general. Author of the article reflects upon contemporary challenges related to the instability of the state of knowledge, and propose possible solutions of modern social and philosophical problems on the basis of phenomenology.

Abstract:
The analysis of the phenomenon of “random” and the principle of the relationship of random phenomena in social reality in the conditions of its instability has been conducted. On this basis, the key task was the conceptualization of the random phenomena in the scales of typology of fundamental and social interactions. It has been confirmed that the concept of “random” in terms of instability is more effectively described through ontological, phenomenological, transcendental and functional approaches and in the context of environmental position. A probability principle was applied when describing the randomness of abstract values. It has been proved that even minor aberrations at one or another point of space at different systemic levels of the material world can profoundly change the metric properties of systems, cause their instability. The results of the research confirmed that the unstable social system does not return to the state of equilibrium from which it has came out for different reasons, but continuously it moves away from it or makes unacceptably large fluctuations around it. And functional dependence between random phenomena and quantities under conditions of social instability is possible as stability of a different kind.

Full text
Abstract:
Through a reading of Australian non-Indigenous author Tim Winton and his novel The Riders, this essay seeks to shake to the very roots white-settler understandings of identity and belonging. The essay treads respectfully into the field of Australian identity, recognizing that Indigenous people’s ancient and sacred relationship with country and the formation of treaties with the nation, are now rightfully central on national agendas. However, this essay asks the following question: what are the ontological grounds upon which respectful dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians might occur, after such violent and traumatic history? The essay explores the possible grounds for an evolving dialogue, one which will be necessarily intersectional: (post)colonial, spiritual/ontological and material. Further, the essay identifies “spirituality” and “ontology” as broad denominators for religion, speculating on a (post)colonial ontology which centers on home and (un)belonging. White-settler Australians, this essay argues, must confront deep ontological issues of brokenness if they are to take part meaningfully in future dialogues. Scully, the protagonist of The Riders, finds himself far from home and stripped of almost all the markers of his former identity: as Australian, as husband, and as a man in control of his life. The novel probes (un)belonging for this individual descendent of colonial Australia, as trauma engulfs him. Further, it will be argued that The Riders prefigures the wider, potentially positive aspects of a post-colonial ontology of (un)belonging, as white-settler Australians come to enunciate a broken history, and ontological instability. Such recognition, this essay argues, is a preliminary step towards a fuller post-colonial dialogue in Australia.

Abstract:
The purpuse of my thesis is to identify the ways in which genetic studies (Sandoval et al., 2016, Barbieri et.al 2017) can relate with social, political and cultural life of the indigenous Kichwa people of San Martín district, in the Amazon forest. When geneticists return the results of their investigations to indigenous populations, they interact with traditional pre‐existing interpretative schemes. So these studies can become part of some political arenas, confirming or rejecting the origins of myths. In San Martín, biomolecular investigations generated an interesting debate: the results, produced through the analysis of mtDNA and Y chromosome, refuted the traditional Kichwa myth. The goal of my ethnographic study is, therefore, to investigate the interaction between Kichwa people and geneticists: this specific ethnographical exemple can remark how some considerations on the constitution of corporeity, human beings, memory and history can be observed starting from a new point of view: the encounter between two different ways of conceiving the human being. First of all, my study wants to define deoxyribonucleic acid as a “tool” capable of shaping the symbolic world of the human being, not as a predetermined natural element. Kichwa indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon Forest have been facing, for several years, a territorial conflict due to the establishment of a Regional Conservation Area on their homelands. In order to question the legitimacy of native claims, the Regional Government of San Martín puts forward the hypothesis of the Andean kichwa migration. On the other hand, several NGOs hope to help this native people, using biomolecular investigations that scientifically certify its Amazonian origins and, consequently, its ancestral relationship with the surrounding territories. However, the natives seem lukewarm to the uncritical acquisition of a strategic discourse based on the rhetoric of ‘temporal primacy’ and continue to consider their own territorial claims using a "relational model" of the environment (Ingold, 2000). Thus, despite having assimilated an ancestral-genetic discourse, they reshape it in light of a native conception of territory. The latter, far from being considered an inheritance transmitted from one generation to the other, is seen as a complex network of present and active relationships between the living, the dead and medical plants. This ethnographic case highlights a big misunderstanding about the concepts of "ancestry" and "territory" whose meaning, in the native sphere, overcomes limits imposed by national jurisdiction and legal terminology. Kichwa population, far from uncritically importing the western category of "genetic inheritance", demonstrates great creativity reshaping and relating it to the indigenous conception of “territory” and “history”. The myth about Kichwa andean origin and biomolecular studies represent, for any Western reader, two opposite alternatives. But, for a part of Kichwa population, these two different narratives of the past are not mutually exclusive. The last goal of this research is there to identify elements of indigenous ethnophysiology, which allow them to accept the coexistence of two self-excluding representations of the past.

Abstract:
Although screens are commonplace in our cultural habits, our homes and our hands, they remain largely unseen. The dominance of digital images has given rise to the ubiquitous screen as a carrier of radiant images. In response to the proliferation of contemporary screens, this research posits a new interpretation of the screen as a spectral entity that occupies a liminal zone between the image, the medium and the viewer. While the primary research outputs are situated in the gallery environment, the research also considers the sociological and philosophical positioning of the screen, particularly through the agency of technology. Using the established method of practice as research, this investigation uses video installation to explore the ontological instability of the screen. It positions the origin of the contemporary screen pre-cinema and argues that the screen is an independent entity worthy of interrogation outside of existing pictorial, film and new media theoretical discourses. The generated outcomes understand the screen as a product of the fluid interaction between the image, the object and the viewer, and considers its broader relationship to time and space. By presenting a vitalist proposition that screens are a mutable species, this research contributes new knowledge to the emerging field of screen ontology.

Abstract:
This chapter first offers an overview of critical community language policy and planning in education (CCLPE). It provides an example of CCLPE, focusing on Malaita in the wake of the Tenson (ethnic conflict) between Guadalcanal and Malaita in Solomon Islands (SI) (1998–2007). The authors contextualize their analysis by tracing the turning points for LPP in SI history, and discuss implications of the SI case for CCLPE and the future of SI education. The analysis focuses on local processes of uncertainty and instability in times of rapid social change that undermine community faith in the nation-state. The chapter shows that indigenous communities have learned that they can exert their agency to shape LPP from the bottom up, and that the shaping must be grounded in indigenous language(s) and culture(s). This argument is consistent with the call for epistemological and ontological diversity in development theory, education, and related studies.

Full text
Abstract:
Out of War is an ethnographic engagement with the nature of intercommunal violence and the material returns of history during and after the 1991–2002 Sierra Leone civil war. The questions raised concern the nature and reckoning of time and reality, fact and fiction; the experience of violence and trauma; the reversibility of perpetrator and victim, friend and enemy; and past, present, and future in the colony and postcolony. The book is a reflection on West African epistemologies and ontologies that contribute to questions in counterpoint with those of international humanitarianism, struggling with the possibilities of truth and quandaries of justice. In the context of massive population displacements and humanitarian interventions, the ethnography traces strategies of psychological, political, and cultural survival and material dwelling in liminal spaces in the midst of the destruction of the social fabric engendered by war. It also examines the juridical creation of new figures of crimes against humanity at the Special Court for Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leone scene, in the aftermath of war, is visualized as a landscape of chronotopes, neologisms that summon the uncertainty of war: the sobel (“soldier by day, rebel by night”), pointing to the instability of distinctions between enemy and friend, or of opposing parties in the war (the rebels of the Revolutionary United Front [RUF] and soldiers in the national army), and the rebel cross, pointing to the possibility that the purported neutrality of the Red Cross masked partisan interests alongside the RUF. Chronotopes also testify to the difficulty of discerning between facts and rumors in war, and they freeze in time collective anxieties about wartime events. Finally, beyond the traumas of war, the book explores the returns of material traces in counterpoint to the more “monumental” presence of Chinese investments in Africa today, and it explores the forgotten sensory history of another China (Taiwan versus the People’s Republic of China) and another Africa inscribed in ordinary agrarian practices on rural landscapes, and in the fabric of domestic life, particularly since the non-aligned movement emerged from the Bandung conference in 1955.

Full text
Abstract:
The massive use of ontologies generates a large amount of semantic data. To facilitate their management, persistent solutions for storing and querying these semantic data loads have been proposed. This gave rise to a new type of databases, called ontology-based databases (OBDB). In recent years, the need for data and real-time services has increased significantly in a large number of applications. However, the OBDB does not implement any mechanism to address real-time applications which are characterized, not only by handling large amounts of data, but also by temporal constraints, to which can be submitted data and treatments. As well, geographically extended applications, requiring using real-time databases that manage data and distributed processing are increasingly needed.These applications are managed by Distributed Real-Time DataBase Management System (DRTDBMS). Like any system, the DRTDBMS, often go through overload phases, due to the unpredictable arrival of transactions submitted by users. In order to better manage Quality of Service (QoS) in these systems by facing instability periods, approaches based on Distributed Feedback Control Scheduling (DFCS) were proposed. These approaches does not address the use of ontological data. In this paper, we propose an approach aiming to enhance QoS in DRTDBMS based on data replication. It consists in extending the DFCS architecture by the manipulation of ontological data as well as handling the execution of accessing transactions. In the extension we propose, we study the applicability of different data replication policies. The proposed architecture is then called Replication-Based-Distributed Feedback Control Scheduling Architecture for Real-Time Ontology (Replication-Based-DFCS-RTO). We also show the contribution provided by our approach through simulation results.

Full text
Abstract:
The Gothic emerged in the eighteenth century as a potent literary critique of modern Western forms of law. At the same time as the law itself the Gothic began to take shape and rapidly diversify in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This chapter suggests that Gothic writing by women in particular interrogates the ontological instability and physical vulnerability of the female subject before the law and that it does so through repeated evocations, in various historical and cultural contexts, of the relationship between law, sacrifice, trauma and shame. Points of continuity between older modes of Female Gothic and its more contemporary manifestations are identified through analyses of novels by Sophia Lee, Ann Radcliffe and Eliza Parsons followed by an examination of female-authored vampire fictions by Stephenie Meyer and Charlaine Harris. Drawing on Juliet MacCannell’s work, the chapter argues that these diverse narratives articulate the trauma and shame of female subjects constructed in and through the law as sacrificial objects of exchange between ‘brothers’. Contemporary female Gothic fictions, it concludes, expose the trauma and shame of the law itself as its ontological coherence begins to disintegrate under the conditions of late-modernity.

Full text
Abstract:
The second chapter shifts from a general outline of the thesis concerning nature’s extrinsicality in order to substantiate its plausibility. It begins with a reconstruction of the basal categories with which Hegel’s philosophy of nature begins, i.e. space and time. Hegel frames space and time in terms of indeterminacy and externality such that we cannot speak of a distinct unit(y), or internality, of space or time, both features which are crucial to conceptuality and subjectivity. In this special sense, Hegelian nature begins in a void. Space-time displays an utter failure at auto-articulation. The chapter then outlines the duplicitous signification of Hegel’s analysis. It argues that while Hegel’s analysis is fundamentally concerned with conceptual discourse it is not solely concerned with discourse. Consequently, at an ontological level, the striking contingency of Hegelian nature. There is no necessity in advance that this or that thing emerges though definite ones certainly do, e.g. the objects of physics and those of mechanics. Instead, there is a contingent array of objects that thought references and then must, retroactively, construct an account of their necessary interrelations. However, this necessity is one that is posited retroactively and so displays the contingency of thought’s narrative concerning necessity.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter traces the posthuman Gothic in a number of recent examples – in film (Ex Machina (2015), Ghost in the Shell (2017)), television (Westworld(2016–), Black Mirror (2011–)), narrative fiction (Marisha Pessl's Night Film (2013) and Gemma Files’s Experimental Film (2015)) and graphic novels (The Beauty (2016–). These texts explore the many ways in which our technological entanglements tend to blur the boundaries between ‘human’ and ‘non-human’. While attempts at defining a ‘posthuman Gothic’ are relatively recent (see Bolton 2014; Heise-von der Lippe 2017), the narrative exploration of these phenomena can be traced back to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) and its lasting impact on later posthuman narratives. By aestheticising the uncanniness of the automaton – the almost-but-not-quite human cyborg or the abject, biotech human-animal hybrid – posthuman Gothic texts draw attention to the many ways in which these processes can and will go wrong and highlight the instability and ultimate unsustainability of our most basic ontological category – the human.
