Kukar, Polina. "“The Very Unrecognizability of the Other”: Edith Stein, Judith Butler, and the Pedagogical Challenge of Empathy." Philosophical Inquiry in Education 24, no. 1 (July 15, 2020): 1–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.7202/1070551ar.
Full textAbstract:
There is no standard definition of empathy, but the concept is assumed to be innately pro-social and teachable regardless of factors such as power dynamics or other manifestations of social injustice within a society. Such assumptions in discursive practices, whether academic, popular, or pedagogical, obscure the emergence of two important questions: What does it mean when we cannot empathize with another? And could it be that we may gain greater insight from the examination of empathy’s limits and failures than the hopes we have for its success? Through an exploration of some of Edith Stein’s and Judith Butler’s work on the subject, I propose that discussions of empathy, particularly in education, must be grounded in social context. Once this is done, assumptions about empathy must be continually troubled if one is to have a cogent conversation—whether as a philosopher, social theorist, educator, or policy maker—about what empathy is (or is not) and what it does (or does not) make possible.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines Judith Butler’s concepts of vulnerability and grievability in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and biopower practices introduced in the name of the protection of the people. An analysis of the elite political discourse in Czechia, Germany, Great Britain, and Slovakia in the first three months of the pandemic explores how vulnerability was constructed and distributed among the respective populations. We identified two prevailing discursive frames – science and security. Within the first, vulnerability was constructed in terms of biological characteristics, rendering elderly, disabled, and chronically ill bodies as already lost and ungrievable. Within the security frame, Roma or migrant populations’ vulnerability to the virus has been discursively shifted into being seen as a threat, while vulnerability itself was recognized more as a feature of institutions or society. Thus, despite the claims that ‘we are all in this together’, the pandemic has exposed how our vulnerability and interdependency are embedded within existing social structures.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is a critique of conventional gender roles in Tawfiq Al-Hakim’s The Song of Death. The research presents Hakim’s challenge to the masculinity especially in Arabian Islamic culture that is guided by revengeful motive of mother. Being a woman, Asakir is guided by the patriarchal motif of revenge i.e., an eye for an eye. It is Asakir, a widow who ironically thinks that version of masculinity has to be preserved by her in order to do so she makes her son Ilwan take revenge on his father’s murderer but in vain. Ilwan is represented as one of the modernists guided by social norms, decorum and laws. In order to critique the conventional notion of masculinity, the research makes use of theoretical insights of Judith Butler, Judith Halberstam and some ideas from others. Finally, the research concludes that Hakim is critical of conventional masculinity. The mother is presented as a strong advocate of masculinity but her failure at the end of the play ironically displays the implacability of gender-based roles in modern society like that of Cairo.

Reflecting on Judith Butler’s conception of ‘performativity’, this paper argues that the notion has important implications for contemporary debates over agency, subjection and ‘resistance’ in social work. Using, wider social theory drawn from post-structuralist Butler, makes sense of complex professional-service user relations. The article explores the possibilities and problems for resisting dominant power relationships in micro and meso settings.

Full textAbstract:
This paper looks at the experience and performance of ‘race’ in the classroom, through the narrative of a young Somali man; Ahmed. The paper explores the notion of Blackness and primarily draws on Fanon’s (1967) work on the ‘doubled’ self, Althusser’s (1971) ‘interpellation’, and makes some reference to Judith Butler’s (1990) work on ‘subjection’, to examine the function of racial performativity in the classroom. The paper examines the role of White privilege in the construction of imposed ‘Blackness’ in the classroom, and through an analysis of Ahmed’s narrative, disrupts the racialised discourses of the classroom.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the portrayal of Éowyn in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings in the light of the biblical tradition of the warrior woman. The author focuses on the scene in which Éowyn slays the Nazgûl Lord in the battle of the Pelennor Fields with the help of Meriadoc. This event is juxtaposed against the biblical descriptions of female warriors, in particular Jael and Judith. A detailed analysis of passages from the King James Bible and the Douay-Rheims Bible, with which Tolkien was familiar, allows the reader to detect numerous affinities between his vocabulary and imagery, and their biblical antecedents. Filipczak contends that, by defending the body of the dying Théoden, Éowyn defends the whole kingdom; her action can be interpreted in the light of The King’s Two Bodies by Ernst Kantorowicz. Her threat to the Ringraith (“I will smite you if you touch him”) makes use of the verb that can be found in the descriptions of Jael and Judith in the Protestant and Catholic Bibles respectively. Furthermore, Éowyn’s unique position as a mortal woman who achieves the impossible and thus fulfills the prophecy paves the way for a comparison with the Virgin Mary, whose Magnificat contains elements of “a holy-war song” which were suppressed by traditional interpretations. Consequently, the portrayal of Éowyn blends the features of Jael, Judith and Mary with allusions to St. Joan of Arc. Moreover, her act of slaying the Ringraith’s fell beast reinterprets the story of St. George and the dragon. Filipczak argues that Éowyn’s uniqueness is additionally emphasized because she acts out Gandalf’s words from Minas Tirith and sends the Nazgûl Lord into nothingness.

Full textAbstract:
In Tao Lin's early books Eeeee Eee Eeee (2007), Bed (2007), Shoplifting from American Apparel (2009), and Richard Yates (2010) vulnerability is linked to a lack of context. Passages and sentences are semantically removed enough from each other that a space of vulnerability opens in which the unexpected can happen. Using the work of Quentin Meillassoux, Judith Butler, Jacques Rancière, and Levi Bryant, among others, this sense of vulnerability is argued to be the primary experience of our lives, but we often forget it. Lin's work makes this primary vulnerability visible in the three works analyzed using three different techniques: incomplete information, withdrawn context, and a monstrous vulnerability. In this sense, the author makes his writing vulnerable to the very problems that it foregrounds.

McKeown, Timothy J. "The limitations of “structural” theories of commercial policy." International Organization 40, no. 1 (1986): 43–64. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0020818300004471.
Full textAbstract:
If a “structural” theory is one that purports to explain behavior in terms of environmental conditions and that largely eschews analysis of the internal processes of decision makers, then it is difficult to identify a theory of commercial policy which is not “structural.” Most microeconomic theory is structural; so are most balance-of-power theories. In the realm of theories of commercial policy, hegemonic stability theories as well as some recently developed theories of international tariff levels fit this description. In the latter category Judith Goldstein's work, which attempts to account for American commercial policy in terms of the ideology of American central decision makers, and Charles Kindleberger's ambitious sketch of a general theory of 19th-century tariff changes in terms of the diffusion of liberal ideology constitute lonely examples of nonstructural research strategies.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractMy article discusses the advantages of reading logs in teacher training programmes, and more specifically in connection with teaching literature and the Reader Response theory. This is an effective pedagogical method for enabling pre-service teachers to explore what they can discover in a literary text, and assess how deeply they can read. The study is based on a course in British culture and literature for student teachers at the middle- and secondary-school levels. It was given at a university college in Norway in the autumn term 2016. The students were in their second and third years and had completed a short, introductory course in literary analysis the previous year. I analyse the students’ reading logs from an “envisionment” perspective. Envisionment refers to the picture of the world that one has at a particular point in time and how it affects reading comprehension. Judith Langer argues that there are five reading stances. The students’ reading- log comments have been categorized according to these five levels. This makes it possible to ascertain if, and to what extent, the students’ reading has become deeper. The students themselves can also see how their comments have changed. Such a process promotes metacognitive thinking. In my follow-up research, I shall develop the project by giving the students more time to discuss one another’s reading logs in class, and reflect on how the method could be applied in the school classroom. The increased self-reflection will benefit both the students themselves and their future pupils.Keywords: reading, reading logs, metacognition, Judith Langer, Reader ResponseMetakognition och “Reader Response”: läslogböcker i Judith Langers “envisionment” klassrumSammanfattningMin artikel diskuterar fördelarna med att använda läslogböcker i lärarutbildning, och mer specifikt i samband med litteraturundvisning där “Reader Response” är huvudmetod. Detta är en effektiv pedagogisk metod för att uppmuntra lärarkandidater att fundera på hur de läser, vad de kan se i en litterär text, och hur djupt de kan läsa. Studiet baseras på en kurs i brittisk kultur och litteratur för blivande mellanstadie- och högstadielärare som gavs vid en mindre högskola i Norge höstterminen 2016. Studenterna var andra, respektive tredje årsstudenter och hade genomgått en kort introduktionskurs i litteraturanalys året innan. Jag analsyerar studenternas läslogböcker utifrån Judith Langers teori om “envisionment”, dvs. den världsbild som man har vid ett specifikt tillfälle och hur denna påverkar läsförståelse. Langer menar att det finns fem möjliga läsnivåer. Läslogböckerna har lästs utifrån dessa fem nivåer. På det sättet kan läraren se om och i så fall i vilken mån studenterna har utvecklat sin läsning samt om denna har blivit djupare. Minst lika viktigt är att studenterna kan se hur djupet på sina kommentarer har ändrats. Detta främjar en metakognitivistik syn på uppgifter. I nästa forskningsprojekt vill jag utveckla metoden för att ge studenterna större möjlighet att läsa och diskutera sina läslogböcker i klassrummet, ge varandra kritik, och fundera på hur metoden kan tillämpas för deras elever. Detta möjliggör en ökad grad självreflektion som gagnar både studenterna och deras framtida elever.Nyckelord: läsning, läslogböcker, metakognition, Judith Langer, Reader Response

Resumen de Transdeseantes: de la heterosexualidad obligatoria al deseo lesbianoPatricia Mateo GallegoEn este artículo nos aproximamos a las teorías de cuatro autoras de referencia ineludible en el pensamiento feminista: Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, Monique Wittig y Judith Butler. Todas ellas, y en este trabajo por extensión, se ocuparon de desentrañar la lógica que hace que unos grupos opriman a otros. Más concretamente, la lógica por la que la opresión de los hombres se ejerce sobre las mujeres. Nos referimos a la heterosexualidad obligatoria entendida como una institución política al servicio de un sujeto hegemónico que no desea perder su lugar privilegiado. Especialmente nos aproximaremos a posturas vitales desde las que desestabilizar este modo perverso de mantener a las mujeres en una posición de otredad.This article approaches the theories of four main authors in feminist thought: Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, Monique Wittig and Judith Butler. All of them focused �as this article does� on the logic relations that makes some groups oppress others. Specifically, the logic that allows and perpetuates the tyranny exercised by men over women. We refer here to the compulsory heterosexuality that functions as a political institution by which an hegemonic subject preserves his privileged position. Moreover, we approach some personal positions from which it is possible to destabilize that established perverse way of keeping women in a position of otherness.

Full textAbstract:
Judith Bennett has persuaded me that in the oral version of this paper I conflated five points: (1) All women’s history has a feminist motivation and message. (2) Descriptive women’s history has discovered valuable evidence about women in the past; this has now been accepted as historical “fact.” (3) Sociological use of gender as a concept adds an analytical edge to descriptive accounts. (4) Social history that makes gender and women’s experience problematic and analyzes it systematically can add to the achievements of descriptive/interpretive women’s history. (5) Both types of women’s history (descriptive/interpretive and analytical) can only benefit from explicitly demonstrating the ways in which their findings contribute to answering questions already on the historical agenda. I have revised my paper somewhat to clarify these points.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper undertakes a theoretical and critical analysis of the question of gender within Brahma Kumaris discursive practices and makes its critique in line, basically, with the thought of Judith Butler. The interdisciplinary fi eld of gender studies argues that gender is the very condition of possibility for subjectivity, thus being invested with social and political connotations. However, the traditions, both secular and religious, tend either to obliterate or to naturalize gender. By adopting the theoretical and methodological framework of Social and Cultural Pragmatics (Rajagopalan, 2000; Pinto, 2002), this paper attempts to critique the elision of gender within Brahma Kumaris discourse, and, in doing so, tries to address the question of performativity that is implied in recent critical approaches of the social and human sciences when focusing the question of gender.

Abstract This article will explore the manner in which the masculinity of Jesus, played by Joaquin Phoenix, is constructed in Mary Magdalene (2018), considering what sort of impression the viewer is left with of Jesus as a man. Framed around the accusation that Peter makes of Mary towards the end of the film when he says to her, ‘You weakened him [Jesus]’, this paper uses theory from Judith Butler and Raewyn Connell to analyse the way in which Jesus’s masculinity is performed. Focusing on the presentation of his body and voice and how these reflect a conflicted sense of identity—particularly with reference to the raising of Lazarus scene—it is argued that Jesus is presented in conventionally ‘unmanly’ ways, but that this contributes to a broadly positive construction of masculinity, as Jesus’s character is performatively aligned with Mary’s.

Full textAbstract:
Care (work) is in crisis. In fact, within our current system, social vulnerabilities of differential kinds are pushed to the fringes of society, while self-responsibility prevails. Yet recently, vulnerability has become a fashionable concept in (feminist) theory. It owes this popularity not least to Judith Butler’s work. This paper analyses the political potential of her conceptualization. More precisely, it argues for the need to assume political responsibility for vulnerability. This is not a connection that Butler makes explicitly. Instead, and contrary to her previous ambivalence to ethics more broadly, she tries to formulate a critical ethics based on vulnerability. Against the abstract nature of ethics, this paper turns to activist voices and Iris Marion Young’s theorisations on responsibility to develop a structural, historically contextualised and collective account of political responsibility. The example of care work and the crisis of care elucidates both theoretical and practical insights throughout the paper.

Full textAbstract:
Agricultural shows are important events in rural and regional Australia. For over a century, they have often been the main annual festival on any given town's calendar. This importance makes the lack of scholarly attention to rural and regional shows puzzling. Recently, Australian exhibitions and agricultural shows have come in for some very welcome scholarly attention, although very little has been written about rural and regional events. Scholars such as Kate Darian-Smith and Sara Wills, Joanne Scott and Ross Laurie, Judith McKay, and Kay Anderson have all written on exhibitions and shows – although, of this group, only Darian-Smith and Wills have written on rural shows, the rest focusing more on inter-colonial and metropolitan Australian shows. Even Richard Waterhouse's groundbreaking study of rural Australian cultural history, The Vision Splendid, provides little detail on agricultural shows and their role in rural cultural life, although the show's importance is recognised.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The sacrificial story in Genesis 22:1–19, the Aqeda or “Binding of Isaac,” has generated a large body of research literature. This is due to its irresolvable ambiguity: God commands the sacrifice of Isaac and stops it. The reader is not informed about reasons or intentions of the characters involved. After analyzing some possible approaches to the text’s ambiguity, I offer a new performative reading of the passage with Giorgio Agamben’s and Judith Butler’s theories of gesture. I argue that this approach effectively deals with ambiguity, because it neither erases violence nor justifies it. It rather exposes violence by interrupting and redirecting it. Abraham’s raised hand with the knife thus becomes an interrupted gesture. It makes the text a monument to violence that teaches to see the same situation in a different light and to interrupt the continuous repetition of violent behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
"Edwidge Danticat’s The Farming of Bones (1998) is a fictional account of the undocumented Parsley massacre of 1937, when black Haitian migrant workers were killed by Rafael Trujillo’s government in the Dominican Republic. The paper places the novel in the African diasporic tradition of writing about the traumatic past, with the Parsley massacre being one such traumatic event of Haitian diasporic writing. The paper highlights the critical problem that unlike most post-colonial fiction, this Haitian diasporic story about gaining voice and agency fails to provide a satisfactory therapeutic valence or an explanation for individual suffering. The paper proposes an application of Judith Butler’s concept of precarity in order to reconsider the problem of healing the wounds of the past in Danticat’s novel. For Butler, social relationality makes subjects vulnerable within the social structure they inhabit, but this vulnerability may also carry a potentiality for the experience of social vulnerability to be shared in makeshift acts of solidarity. The paper claims that precarity does have a limited potential in the novel, which can be detected through the analysis of the water imagery. Amabelle Désir, the protagonist, is already living a precarious life before the Parsley massacre, but the brutality to which she is subjected isolates her socially even more afterwards. She is unable to bear her testimony, living in the past, mourning her lost lover. The representation of precarity in the novel’s water imagery indicates that making contact with her former employer in 1961 brings a momentary sense of connection and community that enables her to commit suicide eventually. This element of truncated healing can be read as the limited potential of precarity available in the Haitian diasporic context. Keywords: Edwidge Danticat, Toni Morrison, Judith Butler, Haitian diasporic women’s writing history, empowerment, healing, precarity, grief "

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the literary representation of Iceland and Norway in two short stories by contemporary German writer Judith Hermann. It analyses both the depiction of these countries as part of the globalised western world and the redemptive power they are tentatively ascribed by the author. Continuing a long German tradition of looking at Scandinavia from an almost colonial perspective, Hermann on the one hand presents these northern countries as a mere extension of central Europe, largely devoid of distinguishing national characteristics. At the same time she makes reference to the topos of the north as a vast and empty space and highlights both the specific arctic nature of the environment and the effect it has on her urban characters, who find themselves on a search for meaning and orientation in a postmodern fragmented world. Despite Hermann's overall sceptical attitude towards her characters' quest for happiness, these northern locations ultimately appear as potential places of self-realisation and enlightenment.

Full textAbstract:
No critic of phenomenology, arguably, has been more influential in prefiguring recent discourses on power, gender, and sexuality that have emerged in dance studies in recent decades than the philosopher-historian-critic Michel Foucault. The number of dance scholars directly citing Foucault, and the number influenced indirectly by his ideas through intermediary theorists such as Judith Butler—perhaps the single most popular one—is so large as to require an essay of its own just to survey. Virtually every analysis of choreographic practice that has addressed these topics since the 1980s has drawn directly or indirectly on Foucault's theories. Indeed, the very mention of the term “discipline” in current dance scholarship (and many related fields as well) more or less automatically makes reference to Foucault's genealogical study of incarceration,Surveiller et punir. Naissance de la prison, translated into English asDiscipline and Punish: Birth of the Prison, and, in particular to the chapter, “Les corps dociles” or “Docile Bodies” (Foucault 1975, 137–171; 1975/1995, 135–170).

Full textAbstract:
The present paper analyzes the status of women politicians and the amount of their representation in the discourse of four daily newspapers (Dnevni Avaz, Oslobođenje, Glas Srpske and Press) during local pre-electoral campain in B&H in 2012. Content analysis which was conducted in this research shows that female politicians are under-represented and invisible. This conclusion was drawn based on the frequency of their newspaper representation in aggregate and in specific journalists' forms of reporting. Through techniques of discursive negotiations of gender in and through media, women's "simbolic annihiliation" is thus brought about, having at the same time ontological consequences with respect to the status of women in matters regarding res publica. At the same time, by using the semiotics of Judith Butler, it is highlighted that this imposition of women's subordination, which is in its very essence patriarchal, makes room for disidentificational resistance through gender-sensitive performative acts and political engagements.

This paper examines how music and juxtapositions can ground a story in a longer history where the potential of images and cutting points become a dialectics of point, counter-point, and fusion in a revisitation of archetypal images and as a co-authorship of reception. A visual dialogue evolves in the film Shchedryk (2014) through a remediation of scenes from Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin (1925), Alexander Dovzhenko‘s Earth (1930) and Norman McLaren’s experimental film Synchromy (1971). People who do not have recourse to the dominant culture are through recipient-co-authorship able to replay things in more sophisticated ways. Judith Butler’s idea of the performative and of subjects re-performing an injury (Butler 1993) can be introduced to the multi-screen experience. Foregrounding the wounding aspect as visual images is about ‘bad pleasure’ (O’Brien & Julien 2005). If realness is a standard by which we judge any performance, what makes it effective is its ability to compel beliefs and embody and reiterate norms (Butler, 387).

Le présent article, qui s’appuie sur des documents d’archives et des périodiques spécialisés tels que Movie Makers et American Cinematographer, examine les liens entre la promotion gouvernementale du tourisme au Canada et le monde du cinéma amateur pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Malgré les pénuries et les mesures de rationnement ayant limité les voyages et déplacements à des fins récréatives de part et d’autre de la frontière canado-américaine, l’idée selon laquelle les campagnes de tourisme au Canada avaient cessé au cours de cette période est erronée. Les dollars des touristes américains étaient nécessaires pour soutenir l’effort de guerre, tandis que la réalisation de films personnels renforçait le discours entourant le bon voisinage et la coopération en temps de guerre. En particulier, l’Office national du film du Canada (ONF) adopta des approches novatrices et rentables pour appuyer le tourisme par l’entremise du cinéma en encourageant la réalisation de films de voyage personnels, comme en témoignent le concours Come to Canada de 1942 et le soutien à la carrière du couple de cinéastes Budge et Judith Crawley.

Literary studies is not theonly discipline to show a new enthusiasm for religion in the opening decades of the twenty-first century. When Stanley Fish suggested back in 2005 that religion might become the new theoretical center of gravity in the humanities, his declaration was cited frequently and may have proved a little too convenient for those, like myself, who wanted to see a major theoretical realignment in the humanities’ attitude to religion. But, the reality is that Fish is just one of a number of other prominent theorists in the last twenty years or so to have shown a new appreciation for the theoretical resources that religious thought makes available. Although the term religion is understood very differently across thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben, Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, Bruno Latour, Sabo Mahmood, Charles Taylor, and Slavoj Žižek, they share a refusal to accept crude notions of the secularization thesis, with its commitment to seeing religion as an irrelevance in the modern world, and are instead determined to see religion as more than just an antiquated ideology that needs to be unmasked.

In this interview with Judith Misrahi-Barak and Nicole Thiara, Jayan K. Cherian discusses his work as an independent filmmaker in India and the USA, his artistic and political commitment, and the challenges he has faced with the Central Board of Film Certification in India after the release of his first feature film Papilio Buddha (2013), which focuses on Dalit land struggles in Kerala, and again with his second feature film KaBodyscapes (2016). The interview explores how holding a dual status as an American citizen and an Overseas Citizen of India makes his situation more complex because it offers him both the freedom and constraints of being a permanent outsider. The discussion of Papilio Buddha and its representation of the Dalit land struggle is the focus of the interview. He also speaks about his intended audience(s) and the way he works on location with his crews. Since Cherian is a poet and a writer as well as a filmmaker, he explains his choices for specific media, in the particular contexts in which he positions himself.

This article focuses on the study of emancipatory strategies and reveals contradictions between the rhetorical strategy in the Cyborg Manifesto and its pragmatics, on the one hand, and the discrepancy between the content and the social reflection of the concept of “multiple gender” developed by Judith Butler in Gender trouble, on the other. The author started to unfold this problematic in the paper Fleeing Queer (Vita Cogitans, 2019).
The author argues that the main reason for these contradictions is the inherent neglect of sign-medium specificity by structuralists. Following the criticism initiated by Regis Debray who proposes a new vision of sing focused on its materiality, the author outlines a way to the range of genres which seems to be more adequate to the rates of Cyborg Manifesto and proposes to consider practices which save the room for multiplicity and indeterminacy in the sense of Bergson, Matière et Mémoire, on the level of sign-medium. From this perspective the sign-medium continuum makes us seek for what we could indicate as “queerisation of medium”. We show the corresponding possibilities on the example of the alphabet and writing invented by a Moscow artist Anya Belousova.

Full textAbstract:
In the last years, more and more literary accounts of recent and current wars in the Middle East have been published. In most cases, they are authored from a Western viewpoint and provide a narrow account of the Muslim world. This article focuses on Sinan Antoon’s The Corpse Washer because it opens the scope. That is, it constitutes an alternative to the imagery of the American film industry. Moreover, as Antoon is a Christian, his account of contemporary Iraq is particularly peripheral and hybrid. To analyse the novel, this article makes use of Transmodernity, a concept coined by Rosa María Rodríguez Magda in 1989. Yet, instead of Magda’s Transmodernity as a neatly Euro-centric phenomenon of worldwide connectivity, Ziauddin Sardar’s version of the concept is preferred. Sardar’s Transmodernity adds to connectivity a message of reconciliation between progress and tradition, particularly in the context of non-Western cultures. This paper defends that Antoon’s novel opens the debate on Islam to challenge the prejudiced Western discourses that have ‘legitimized’ war. To do so, Sardar’s ‘borders’ and Judith Butler’s grievability are particularly useful. In a Transmodern context, novels like Antoon’s show that humans should never be bare lives.

At its best, Judith Weirs's music makes use of very simple and clear musical ideas with great wit to great effect. This quality is most apparent in pieces which have some dramatic, or at least extra-musical aspect, often connected with some type of folklore or folk music. When the music becomes more abstract, it can also be less lively and less appealing. The Composer Portrait concert which was presented as a preface to the UK première at the Proms on 7 August of her orchestral piece The Welcome Arrival of Rain contained examples of both of these sides of the composer's work. Distance and Enchantment, for piano quartet, is based on Northern Irish and Scottish folk songs, worked into a beautiful and compelling instrumental texture. Sketches from a Bagpiper's Album evokes the sound of the bagpipes and the instrumental and compositional techniques associated with its repertory. Next to these works, Music for 247 Strings, for violin and piano, has much less profile and less personality. Even though it strikingly employs a texture which is a favorite of Weir's, distinctly different contrapuntal lines presented in rhythmic unison, it just doesn't seem to be about much of anything.

Full textAbstract:
What happens to sovereign power when petty sovereigns refuse to exploit discretionary power to suspend the rule of law, the very power that is delegated to them and makes them who they are? How might such a refusal contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between resistance and sovereign power? This article revisits Judith Butler’s notion of petty sovereigns to explore the possibility that petty sovereigns establish a distinctive relationship with law. This article draws on a case involving one nameless petty sovereign and his published writings. He writes novels to expose how law is used by some officials to realize a particular policy goal with regards to nuclear energy. His novels blur the line between fiction and non-fiction: it contains classified information only available to bureaucrats, discusses actual energy policies and related laws, and introduces fictional characters who resemble non-fictional characters. I argue that this example suggests that petty sovereigns are not necessarily tied to the node between governmentality and sovereignty. Shifting between the worlds of fiction and non-fiction, petty sovereigns slip away from sovereign power, which controls the subject-making process, and quietly resist sovereign politics through the contingency of subjectivity.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the scant scholarship relative to Alberto Blest Gana’s Mariluán, several critics have underscored the unfeasibility or superfluidity of the protagonist’s aspired project for restitution, indigenous assimilation, and fraternity in the Araucanía during the novel’s context of enunciation. Under the theoretical framework of Athena Athanasiou and Judith Butler on dispossession, and in dialogue with the concept of “sediments of time” by Reinhart Koselleck, this study argues that an analysis of the overlapping chronologies in “play” in Mariluán serves to revise the statements seemingly offered for advancement nearly 160 years ago. Mariluán’s pseudo-revival of a Lautaro and the manner in which he makes himself “present” or “becoming,” and remains “present” after his beheading, can be re-signified as a means to challenge the terms imposed from structures that inhibit, subjugate, and seek to fully exterminate or nullify the “other” – insomuch in the 1860s, as in future temporalities involving repetitions of historical events and their related, yet distinguishable, singularities. Through a reconsideration of the protagonist’s aims that refute his call for cultural assimilation as a necessary means of integration, today’s status quo on indigenous issues can be re-problematised, to contest the pervasive logic of dispossession and advocate for more practical and politically inclusive structures that celebrate Chile’s plurality.

Full textAbstract:
This article, focusing on the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) of Brazil, demonstrates how members of Latin America’s largest social movement perform the diverse compacts of obligation and reciprocity that characterise an MST occupation. MST encampments seek to enact a transformation of the land on which members are situated, but also emphasise a transformation of the human subject itself, from unproductive to productive. Performing this transformation and becoming truly ‘landless’, however, goes beyond merely being a willing new member: equally as important is the creation and maintenance of an ‘aesthetics of orderliness’ which makes visible the moral connotations that structure or undermine one’s right to become sem terra, landless. Through an analysis that foregrounds the temporality and territoriality of how the MST occupy and drawing a distinction between the precariousness of an MST encampment and the relative stability of an MST settlement, I suggest that movement members are content to perform in the former, but increasingly seek to issue performative acts in the latter. Building on Judith Butler’s distinction between performativity and performance, I argue that individual MST members, embedded in relational spheres, ultimately seek not only to transform themselves but also the wider movement by reconfiguring the very moral framework that structures their social movement from the ground up.

Full textAbstract:
Judith Butler, Joan Tronto, and Stephen King all hinge human experience on shared ontological vulnerability, but whereas Butler and Tronto use vulnerability to build ethical commitments, King exploits aging, disability, and death to frighten us. King's horror genre is provocative for the imaginative landscape of feminist theory precisely because he uses vulnerability to magnify the anxieties of mass culture. In Christine, the characters' shared susceptibility to psychic and physical injury blurs the boundary between care and violence. Like Butler, King depicts our social worlds encrusted with normative violence: the mundane ways that norms police gender, race, class, and disability identities. And like Butler, King makes undecidability a key feature of human identity: the idea that needs and identities are uncertain. Normative violence and undecidability trouble the starting point of Tronto's care theory—attentiveness to needs—because both concepts invest interdependency with ambiguity and conflict. But like Tronto, King recognizes that care‐actors must act, even amid ambiguity and even when their actions make care and aggression converge. Christine's supernatural plot details the psychic possession of an American teenager, but the novel's more terrifying story is about interdependency and how normative violence is not the antithesis of care, but its dark underbelly.

Full textAbstract:
It is often said that the claims of man and citizen are irreconcilable in the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This view, most famously articulated by Judith Shklar, holds that the making of a man and the making of a citizen are to be understood as rival enterprises or competing alternatives. This reading has recently been challenged by Frederick Neuhouser. He argues that one can make a man and a citizen, but only if the education of each is performed in the absence of the other. In his view, Emile is raised to be a man first (Books I–IV) before his subsequent instruction in citizenship (Book V). This paper challenges both views. I argue that the making of man and citizen are, in principle, neither rival enterprises nor competing alternatives, and that although Neuhouser is indeed correct to argue for a successive system of education, the making of a citizen is not completed in Emile, but extends into the Social Contract. His account diminishes the crucial role the Lawgiver plays in the fashioning of citizens capable of discerning the general will. I show that although raising individuals under a system of private instruction does not preclude their transformation into citizens but makes such a transformation possible, it is on its own incapable of making citizens.

Full textAbstract:
The presence of Empire in the Victorian period and its aftermath has become a new trope in neo-Victorian studies, introducing a postcolonial approach to the re-writing of the Victorian past. This, combined with the metaphor of the sea as a symbol of British colonial and postcolonial maritime power, makes of Joseph O’Connor’s novel Star of the Sea a story of love, vulnerability and identity. Set in the winter of 1847, it tells the story of the voyage of a group of Irish refugees travelling to New York trying to escape from the Famine. The colonial history of Ireland and its long tradition of English dominance becomes the setting of the characters’ fight for survival. Parallels with today’s refugees can be established after Ireland’s transformation into an immigration country. Following Judith Butler’s and Sarah Bracke’s notions of vulnerability and resistance together with ideas about ‘the other’ in postcolonial neo-Victorianism, this article aims to analyse the role of Empire in the construction of an Irish identity associated with poverty and disease, together with its re-emergence and reconstruction through healing in a contemporary globalised scenario. For this purpose, I resort to Edward Said’s and Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri’s ideas about imperialism and new imperialism along with Elizabeth Ho’s concept of ‘the Neo-Victorian-at-sea’ and some critics’ approaches to postcolonial Gothic. My main contention throughout the text will be that vulnerability in resistance can foster healing.

Full textAbstract:
Society constructs gender to distinguish the sexes of men and women. They believe that human is only born with two types male and female. Those are included in the term heteronormativity who have only two gender or sexual orientation options. Queer refers to people who have a gender identity or sexual orientation that differs from their biological gender. One of the terms Queer is Transgender which is a term for someone who needs recognition of gender identity from anatomical gender assigned at birth, or those who are considered ambiguous in their gender. Society finds it difficult to accept the existence of transgender because of the heteronormative. The experience of the story felt by transgender people is represented in the film Just Charlie (2017). This study aims to examine how gender identity is performed in the Just Charlie (2017) and how is the response of society. The theory used in this analysis is Judith Butler's "Queer" theory, specifically Butler’s gender performativity. This qualitative study has resulted in two findings. First, the main character showed the major terms of gender performativity such as an act of cross-dressing, repetition, and revelation. Second, although the United Kingdom is a liberal country, people still cannot be free to choose their gender preference. This study proved that gender performativity makes the identity of gender not only determined by the sexual genital from birth but also something act repeatedly.

Full textAbstract:
Robots, particularly the ones that belong to a special type of robotic technologies designed and deployed for communicating and interacting with humans, slip into more and more domains of human life - from the research laboratories and operating rooms to our kitchens, bedrooms, and offices. They can interact with humans with facial expressions, gaze directions, and voices, mimicking the affective dynamics of human relationships. As a result, they create new opportunities, but also new challenges and risks to peoples’ privacy. The literature on privacy issues in the context of Social Companion Robots (SCRs) is poor and has a strong focus on information privacy and data protection. It has given, however, less attention to other dimensions of privacy, e.g. physical, emotional, or social privacy. This article argues for an “evolving” or “transformable” notion of privacy, as opposed to the “elusive” concept of privacy elaborated by leading privacy theorists such as Daniel J. Solove (2008) and Judith J. Thomson (1975). In other words, rather than assuming that privacy has a single core or definition (as defined, e.g., in Warren and Brandeis' 1890 paper), it maintains that it is important to conceptualize privacy as distinguishable into various aspects, including informational privacy, the privacy of thoughts and actions, and social privacy. This inductive approach makes it possible to identify new dimensions of privacy and therefore effectively respond to the rapid technological evolution in AI technologies which is constantly introducing new spheres of privacy intrusions.

Full textAbstract:
The most controversial aspect of Alban Berg's opera Lulu-and one that has generated considerable criticism-is the composer's conception of the protagonist's character. Judith Lochhead, for example, argues that it is impossible to trace "a single, continuous feature that defines Lulu's personality." However, Berg offsets the "typological" element in Lulu's characterization by assigning her complex levels of interaction with her portrait, which is continuously present and symbolizes her sense of self-identity and her perception by others. Thus he changed several aspects of Wedekind's plays and created musical structures to represent Lulu as an individual and an object of desire. The most important of these devices is the music associated with Lulu's portrait, which marks significant dramatic and structural moments in the opera. Berg's extensive annotations in the opera's sketches, his copies of the plays, and the Particell bring to light the significance of Lulu's portrait with regard to her characterization. The portrait and its leitmotivic set pervade the opera, serving multiple functions according to the different dramatic situations. More than just an objective representation, Lulu's portrait is a constant reminder of who Lulu is in the opera. On the basis of this evidence, this study demonstrates that, by engaging the long-established literary tradition that associates women's identities with their reflected images, Berg makes the opera pivot around the portrait music, effecting a transformation in Lulu's sense of self-identity.

Bilingualism: Language and Cognition (BLC) is now in its seventeenth year, and what started out as a new interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of bilingualism has now become the leading journal in its field. The first issue of BLC was published in 1998 with François Grosjean, Jürgen M. Meisel, Pieter Muysken and Judith Kroll as founding editors. Over the years, the editorship has passed to David Green, Ping Li and Carmen Silva-Corvalán, with Jürgen M. Meisel staying on. The journal has not merely survived for almost 17 years but has thrived, enjoying a steady increase in readership and submissions, suggesting that the interdisciplinary approach of the journal and the breadth of topics that it covers are hitting the mark. The 2013 impact factor mirrors this upsurge of interest: BLC's 2013 impact factor is quoted as 2.229, which makes it the 5th ranked out of 160 journals in linguistics and the 27th out of 83 experimental psychology journals. Hence it is a pleasure to report to the BLC readership that the journal is in excellent shape. This is primarily due to the outstanding dedication of the outgoing team of editors (Ping Li, David Green, Jürgen M. Meisel and Carmen Silva-Corvalán), to whom we would like to extend our gratitude. Under their tenure BLC has grown to be the leading journal in the field. We will continue to count on their advice.

Full textAbstract:
This article draws on ethnographic fieldwork with No TAV activists in Valsusa, in Alpine Italy, protesting against the planned construction of a new high-speed railway. Focusing on activists’ experiences of vulnerability and police violence, the article contributes to the recent ‘subjective turn’ in the anthropology of resistance and contentious social movements, and responds to calls to ‘de-pathologize’ and ‘de-exoticize’ resistance. It explores ways to reconceptualize the subjective experience of resistance through a focus on affect, vulnerability and becoming. Combining neo-Spinozist theory of affects with Judith Butler’s feminist perspective on agency and subjectivity, the article seeks to point a way beyond the limitations of established approaches informed by the work of Michel Foucault. Further, the article also shows how affects experienced during direct action are embedded in activists’ longer biographical narratives and gradually structured, through remembering and narrativization, to provide ground for a coherent subjective sense of agency. Third, the article highlights the difference a focus on affect makes compared to the more conventional sociological focus on emotion. The notion of affect helps us to move beyond a rationalist and instrumentalist approach to emotion in social movements. The article stresses the heuristic potential of a focus on affect, but also considers methodological challenges posed by such a perspective. It suggests that the methodological toolkit available to the ethnographers of contentious politics can be enhanced by drawing on the affective capacities of researchers’ own bodies in order to register the visceral intensities vital to the experience of resistance and the ongoing formation of insubordinate subjects.

This makes her a good case study “to approach, in an intimate way, the ordinary lives and communities of medieval peasants.” (17)

I think we learn to be worldly from grappling with, rather than generalizing from, the ordinary.—Donna HarawayThe question that preoccupies me in the light of recent global violence is, Who counts as human? Whose lives count as lives? And, finally, What makes for a grievable life?—Judith ButlerIn a New York Times editorial piece published in May 2007 about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Nicholas Kristof lamented, not for the first time, that people “aren't moved by genocide.” “The human conscience just isn't pricked by mass suffering,” Kristof continues, and yet, as both anecdotal evidence and scientific research have repeatedly shown, “an individual child (or puppy) in distress causes our hearts to flutter.” He recounts a series of psychological and sociological experiments that have borne out what he calls “the limits of rationality,” including the fact that people who hear narratives or see images that “prime the emotions” by focusing on the plight of an individual suffering creature—say, a baby or “a soulful dog in peril”—respond more vigorously to that suffering than those who have had their “rational side” primed by performing math problems. Perhaps, Kristof proposes in disgust, what the Darfur situation needs in order to achieve the public recognition it deserves—let alone to effect actual change—is not statistics of mass genocide but a very photogenic, if appropriately sad-eyed, poster child, “a suffering puppy with big eyes and floppy ears.” “If President Bush and the global public alike are unmoved by the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of fellow humans,” he despairingly concludes, “maybe our last, best hope is that we can be galvanized by a puppy in distress.”

SammanfattningTexten behandlar hur elever på svensk grundskolenivå i årskurs 1–8, med hjälp av olika lässtrategier, kan skaffa sig förmåga att djupläsa texter för att nå förståelse av både läsningen och det lästa. Den teoretiska och metodologiska basen hänvisar till den amerikanska läsforskning som har bedrivits av Judith A. Langer med ett stort forskarteam vid Albany University, USA. Djupläsningsmetoder förklaras och diskuteras. Artikeln diskuterar Langers “envisionment-building” begrepp och presenterar ett empiriskt material taget från en undersökning av lässtrategier hos elever i åldrarna 7–13. I Sverige har teorin operationaliserats av författaren i fortsättningsforskning i skolor. Den didaktiska läsutvecklingen från svenska skolor beskrivs. Resultat och diskussion handlar om hur barn och ungdomar kan skapa djup förståelse av text. De autentiska fasbaserade frågorna som används både muntligt och skriftligt vid djupläsning gör att innehållet blir grundligt diskuterat i samtal med lärare och kamrater. Omläsning visar sig vara viktigt. Genomförda textsamtal resulterar i ett mycket fördjupat läsande för eleverna. Motivationshöjande är att eleverna får agera socialt genom textsamtal vid tolkningen och att det ständigt sker en återkoppling från lärarens och kamraternas sida. Motivationen kan även öka om eleverna lyckas med alltmer utmanande texter. Djupläsning med fas¬baserade frågor är en effektiv lässtrategi för att skapa förutsättningar för djupläsning, som i sin tur ger förutsättning för bästa möjliga förståelse av läsningen såväl som det lästa. Läsmarkeringar under läsningens gång gör att läsningen blir långsammare och mer grundlig. Läsandets förutsättning, villkor och process kan sammanfattas i en modell skapad utifrån operationaliseringsprocessen.Nyckelord: djupläsning, textsamtal, lässtrategier, didaktik, läsmotivationClose reading and reading strategiesAbstractThe text discusses how Swedish pupils in primary and secondary school, aged 7–13, with the aid of different reading strategies, can improve their ability to close-read texts in order to gain a better understanding not only of the text but also of the reading process. The study is theoretically and methodologically anchored in the reading research of Judith A. Langer, University of Albany, USA. The study adapts and develops Langer’s concept of envisionment building. The empirical material includes a study of the reading strategies of Swedish pupils aged 7–13. In Sweden, these findings have been operationalized by the author as part of her continuing research in schools. The results and discussion address how children can acquire a deep understanding of texts. The authentic, stance-based questions, which are used both when students read aloud and silently, ensure that the content is properly discussed in text talks with teachers and other pupils. Re-reading is important. The text talks result in a close reading of the texts. The social interaction that is part of text interpretation, as well as the feedback students receive from one another and from their teacher, boost motivation. Motivation can also increase if the students succeed with more challenging texts. Close reading with stance-based questions is a very effective reading strategy, which enables the students to understand the text and the reading process. Taking notes while reading makes the reading slower and more thorough. The conditions, terms and process of reading are summed up in a model that describes what happens.Keywords: close reading, text talks, reading strategies, didactics, motivation for reading

It gives me great pleasure to announce the eighth regular issue of 2022. In this issue, 4 papers cover various topical aspects of computer science by 12 authors from 5 countries. In an ongoing effort to further strengthen our journal, I would like to expand the editorial board: If you are a tenured associate professor or above with a strong publication record, you are welcome to apply to join our editorial board. We are also interested in high-quality proposals for special issues on new topics and trends. As always, I would like to thank all the authors for their sound research and the editorial board for their extremely valuable review effort and suggestions for improvement. These contributions, together with the generous support of the consortium members, sustain the quality of our journal. In the second regular issue, I am very pleased to introduce the following 4 accepted articles: Sanam Fida, Nayyer Masood and Nirmal Tariq from Pakistan, and Faiza Qayyum from the Republic of Korea address in their joint research a novel hybrid ensemble clustering technique for student performance prediction. In a research collaboration between India and Greece, Banani Ghose, Zeenat Rehena and Leonidas Anthopoulos discuss a Deep Learning-based technique for predicting air quality using influencing pollutants of neighboring locations in a smart city environment. Marloes Vredenborg, Daan Sutmuller, Mariëlle den Hengst-Bruggeling, and Judith Masthoff from the Netherlands introduce an exploratory study on a system to reduce information overload and tunnel vision in homicide investigations. And last but not least, Wim Westera from the Netherlands presents three computational scoring models that take into account the number of attempts that a player makes to be successful. Enjoy Reading!

Alm, Erika. "Kroppen som form." Tidskrift för genusvetenskap 27, no. 1 (June 14, 2022): 45–57. http://dx.doi.org/10.55870/tgv.v27i1.3970.
Full textAbstract:
The article takes as its departure the fact that the word form is commonly used, in everyday language as well as in scientific discourse, when discussing the body. Within the philosophical tradition the concept of form has been used in more specific and elaborate ways. Alm wishes to explore the possibilities of the concept as an analytic instrument, specifically as a means of critically approaching the discourse of the body conceptualised by dichotomies such as: body versus psyche, biology versus culture, interiör versus exteriör, subject versus object etc. The focus of the article is the ambiguity of the concept of form as presented in Aristotle: at the same time denoting a thing's inner principle, that which makes a thing what it is, and it's outer shape, the contour. With a brief introduction to the Aristotelian concept of form, and an excursion on Judith Butler's reinterpretation of Aristotle's theories of form and matter (in Bodies that Matter 1993), Alm presents a series of suggestions as to how the ambiguous concept of form might be applied to the discourse of the body. If, as Aristotle suggests, inner form cannot be separated from outer form (on account of the fact that form cannot be separated from matter in the materialised entity), then the concept of form might be used when critiquing the separation of, for example, body and psyche, identity and deed, biology and culture. Combined with the suggestion that form has an ontological and an epistemological function and these two aspects cannot be separated from one another, put forward by Aristotle and taken to heart by Butler, the idea of the body as form might prove useful in conceptualisingthe sexed bodyassituated inthe junction between biology and culture, enmeshed in practices and discourses of language, knowledge and moral.
