Abstract:
This article uses Kafka's short story 'Before the Law' to offer a reading of Al Ewing's The Immortal Hulk. This is in turn used to explore our desire to encounter the Law understood as a form of completeness. The article differentiates between 'the Law' as completeness or limitlessness and 'the law' understood as limitation. The article also examines this desire to experience completeness or limitlessness in the work of George Bataille who argued such an experience was the path to sovereignty. In response it also considers Francois Flahault's critique of Bataille who argued Bataille failed to understand limitlessness is split between a 'good infinite' and a 'bad infinite', and that it is only the latter that can ultimately satisfy us. The article then proposes The Hulk, especially as presented in Al Ewing's The Immortal Hulk, is a study in where our desire for limitlessness can take us. Ultimately it proposes we turn ourselves away from the Law and towards the law that preserves and protects our incompleteness.

Abstract:
In a well-known article, Hodnett pointed out that Virgil emphasizes the peacefulness and quiet of the sea, its immensity and limitlessness, in contrast to the view articulated by the Roman poets of the Republic, which presents the sea as deceptive and fearsome. Among the many terms used in theAeneidto denote the sea,aequorstands out precisely because it is the term most frequently used by Virgil in place of the wordmare.

Abstract:
Researcher identity has been widely studied as central to doctoral education. However, little is known about students’ emic conceptualization of what represents researcher identity based on their lived experience. Using a sample of 24 Chinese doctoral students in Australia, this study adopts volunteer-employed photography (VEP) to facilitate the participants’ delineation of their researcher identity. Findings reveal that researcher identity is indexed at three levels: belonging as being, doing as becoming, and limited limitlessness. It presents itself as a complex formulating process in which dichotomous, yet mutually constitutive, forces collide and merge. This study concretizes perceptions about the notion of researcher identity through photographs and corresponding revelatory dialogues in relation to people, objects, feelings, phenomena, and relationships. Some insights on visual research methodology are also discussed.

Abstract:
The encounter of environmental history and intellectual history is a union of two insidiously oceanic inquiries. “Oceanic” in the sense of limitlessness, or oneness with the universe. “All history is the history of thought”, and the history of thought is in modern intellectual history a universal investigation, of advertisements for sofas and Ayn Rand and adoption laws in early colonial Bihar. But all history is also the history of space, and of the environment that surrounds the sofas and the laws. It is apparent, now, that “history occurs in space as well as time”. Environmental history is everywhere as well as nowhere. It is a new universal understanding, which subverts even the historians' own anxieties about universalization: a “negative universal history”.

Full text
Abstract:
Derrida's work on hospitality presents particular local conventions of hospitality as in a necessary but impossible relationship with an absolute hospitality, the obligation to welcome the other without conditions. Although this absolute hospitality is commonly read as the aspiration to which all of our practices of hospitality should tend, Derrida proposes a series of examples that show the dangers implicit in an automatic or limitless welcoming. The most famous of these is that of the Old Testament patriarch, Lot. The aim of this paper is to show, however, that the Genesis story is not primarily a parable about correct and incorrect practices of hospitality. In fact, what is at stake in the visit of the angels to Lot is the covenant between Abraham's line and the divine and the coming into the world of God's absolute sovereign violence. Derrida's account of hospitality is thus part of his discussion of sovereignty, its limitlessness, force and danger.

Abstract:
This research combines the arts with human spaceflight. The aim of the investigation is to identify the aesthetic parameters for display in works of art on extended crewed missions. The study claims that, within the research area of human spaceflight, novel working methods should be developed that can integrate the artist into the scientific process. The extraordinary challenges of extended space exploration not only concern technical and human-bodily aspects, they will also affect the enormous psychological and psychosocial restrictions the spacefarer will face. These limitations are due to the unusual distance and the long timeframes; the future explorers will live confined and isolated within the habitat environment far away from their place of origin. In addition, the consequences of sensory deprivation caused by the high-tech indoor habitat, the emptiness of outer space, the effects of social monotony and limited contact with home will dominate their life in the extreme environment and the emotional state of the future explorer. Many cultural techniques for recreation and stress mitigation are already in use or will be tested in human spaceflight in the near future. However, in this context the implementation of works of art has not been evaluated. The production of works of art for future astronauts represents a new research area. From the artistic perspective, creativity will expand in an unusual manner. Artists will not only have to develop significant metaphors, they will also be confronted with an unknown responsibility, because the confined and isolated astronaut will become the exclusive audience and user of their works. Furthermore, works of art must follow the particular demands of verifiability, safety, and reliability. These specific conditions will give the artistic work a unique meaning which makes the work a part of the life-sustaining system. The outcome will be an experiment that combines both artistic and scientific strategies.

Abstract:
This project explores the basic tenets of abstract expressionism and is considered in relation to the idea of the sublime, limitlessness and the formless. In this research I am interested in investigating the progression from two-dimensional non-representational painting, through experimentation with light mediating materials to projection of the painting via the medium of film. Light is used to intensify the image with a view to expand the viewer’s awareness and understanding of the sublime. The research seeks to find ways that allow the viewer to explore the feeling of uncertainty and the sensation of wonderment. Through an ephemeral spaciousness that has no boundaries, the spectator is encouraged through contemplation to transform their experiences of the finite in order to approach the infinite and the sublime.

Abstract:
Utifrån ett historiskt perspektiv så har arbetsmarknaden blivit mer gränslös och flexibel. Gränslöshet har inneburit en förminskning av stabilitet och tydliga referensramar, exempelvis när arbetsdagen börjar och slutar. Arbetsmarknadens flexibilitetsförändring har bland annat inneburit introduktion av flextider, individuellt ansvar, nya och osäkrare arbetsförhållanden. För att komma underfund med dessa arbetsmarknadsförändringar har studien granskat arbetets och arbetstidens betydelse med utgångspunkt i tillgänglighet efter arbetstid. För att besvara syftet genomfördes 18 intervjuer med informanter från HRM-sektorn och analyserades med en tematisk analys. Studiens teoretiska referensram har utgjorts av Ulrich Becks och Zygmunt Baumans tankar om individualisering samt en förstudie om tillgänglighet efter arbetstid. Studiens resultat visar att det finns företeelser att beakta i arbetet och arbetstiden utifrån tillgänglighet efter arbetstid. De är ansvar, struktur- och flexibilitetsförändringar. Ansvaret handlar om en omfördelning av mer ansvar från organisation till person. Strukturförändringar som kan hämma flexibilitet, strypa produktiviteten eller avgränsa arbetet. Slutligen flexibilitetsförändringar som möjliggör nya arbetstider, arbetsplatser och arbetsförhållanden.
From a historical perspective, the labor market has become more boundless and more flexible. Boundlessness has thus led to a reduction of stability and clear reference frameworks, for example when the working day begins and ends. The labor market's flexibility change meant introducing flexible times, with individual responsibility, new and insecure working conditions. To undermine these labor market changes, the study has examined the importance of work and working time based on availability after working hours. In response to the purpose, 18 interviews were conducted with informants from the HRM-sector and analyzed by a thematic analysis. The theoretical reference frame of the study is based on Ulrich Beck's and Zygmunt Bauman's thoughts on individualization as well as a preliminary study on accessibility after working hours. The results of the study indicate that work and working hours have factors to consider. They are responsible, structural and flexible changes. Responsibility shows a redistribution of responsibility from organization to person. Structural changes that can hamper flexibility, iron out productivity or delimit work. Finally, flexibility changes that allow new working hours, workplaces and working conditions.

"“The Seeds of Limitlessness”: Dambudzo Marechera’s Radical Utopian Thinking." 2016. http://repository.lib.cuhk.edu.hk/en/item/cuhk-1292132.

Full text
Abstract:
處於津巴布韋滿著歷史性創傷的政局過渡時期，Dambudzo Marechera的作品見證了各方在爭奪津巴布韋權力的動盪時代。正因為意識到所有敘述被制度化，不論是英國殖民統治，Ian Smith的少數白人政權或津巴布韋的革命政黨所呼籲建立的一個烏托邦社會，也揭示了這一切只是虛構，而Marechera卻有著一些獨特的烏托邦觀點。對Marechera而言，烏托邦並不是一個完整的靜態，而是永恆地在變化的時刻。他重新思考烏托邦，並以定義它為對後殖民自我及其與社會關係的制度化敘述的無止境批判。Marechera道出國家有著另一種未來的憧憬。然而，這並不構成一個完整烏托邦。了解到這世界和權力的運作，Marechera選擇顛覆社會加諸自我的敘述，以走向個體主導的真正激進烏托邦思想，而強加自己的烏托邦理想。
While writing during a traumatic transitional period in Zimbabwe’s history, Dambudzo Marechera witnessed an age of upheavals in which different parties battled for power over Zimbabwe. Being aware of the fact that all institutionalized narratives, be they originated from the governance of the UK, Ian Smith’s white minority regime or Zimbabwe’s revolutionary parties, appealed to building a utopian society yet revealed themselves to be fiction, Marechera envisions a unique vision of utopia. For Marechera, utopia is not a static entity but a moment of perpetual change. He rethinks utopia in the sense that he phrases it as an event that ceaselessly contests institutionalized narratives of a postcolonial self and its relationship to society. Marechera writes towards a vision of an alternative future of the country. Yet, it is a vision that does not constitute a fully rounded sense of utopia. Being cautious about the world and the operation of power upon the people, rather than imposing his own utopian ideals, Marechera chooses to instead destabilize the narrative constitution of the self in relation to society in order to turn towards a truly radical utopian thinking that empowers the individual.

Abstract:
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This PhD research project is a theoretical and studio-based investigation concerned with the problem of thinking in pictorial terms about how painting might serve as an instrument to elucidate the otherwise invisible concept of the limitless passage of time in space. By framing painting as a register of processes of thinking through an ongoing experimentation with painting materials, techniques and strategies, this project aims to generate new ways of experientially presenting the un-presentable boundlessness of space through the vehicular medium of painting. Accordingly, this project seeks to demonstrate how the imperceptibly invisible passage of time through space might be contemplated through a series of pictorial ambiguities. In this sense, painting is articulated as a theoretical operator that aims to activate a consciousness of the very invisibility of the limitless passage of time in space. Pictorial strategies for evoking the invisible nature of limitless space are drawn from an historical account and theoretical analysis of strategies used by selected artists and demonstrated through a series of experimental painting techniques. Instantiating ideas of limitless space: Thinking through painting culminates with an exhibition which aims to experientially articulate the incomprehensible enormity of the idea that time passes without end through limitless space. Just as the universe holds time within an open-ended cosmological container, the canvas, by extension, presents the vehicular medium of painting in an open-ended process of transformation. Significantly, painting can only represent a transitive register of fragmentary moments within this limitless process of transformation, and as a consequence, the author’s studio outcomes are displayed in series in order to invite the viewer to contemplate them as a whole. Finally, this studio-based research project is proffered as a significant contribution to framing painting’s ongoing potential for building a pictorial vocabulary for communicating otherwise invisible elements through the visible materiality of painting.

Abstract:
Audeguy’s Theory of Clouds reaches far beyond the cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and nimbus forms we know. The Krakatoa volcano was “the largest cloud ever recorded,” a natural bomb that was duplicated decades later by the grotesque mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, and the ashes rising from the chimneys of Auschwitz and other concentration camps. Humans have allowed themselves to be “denatured,” destroying themselves and the world in the process. There is an intimate relationship between the microcosm of the human body and the macrocosm of nature, neither of which we can fully understand: a “confrontation between the limitlessness of desire and the unthinkable infinity of nature” (Audeguy, Opera mundi 39). Audeguy’s protagonist Abercrombie is a true “erotologist,” obsessed by the mysterious connection between female bodies (microcosm) and clouds (macrocosm).

Abstract:
Kant distinguishes two notions of the sublime: the mathematically sublime and the dynamically sublime. In the case of both notions, the experience of the sublime consists in a feeling of the superiority of our own power of reason, as a super sensible faculty, over nature. (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) The concept of the sublime was associated with nature in late 18th and early 19th century aesthetics. Political philosopher and states-man Edmund Burke evoked human mortality in A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful, defining the sublime as experience of the overwhelming magnitude of phenomena in the natural world which causes “a sort of delightful horror, a sort of tranquility tinged with terror; which, as it belongs to self-preservation, is one of the strongest of all the passions.” Kant, in contrast to Burke, defines rationality is an important component of the experience of the sublime: “The sublime is to be found in an object even devoid of form, so far as it immediately involves, or else by its presence provokes a representation of limitlessness, yet with a super-added thought of its totality.” That is, reason--super-added thought--allows us to comprehend and challenge the entirety of that which is beyond comprehension. He writes that “the feeling of the sublime in nature is respect for our own vocation . . . this feeling renders as it were intuitable the supremacy of our cognitive faculties on the rational side over the greatest faculty of sensibility.” For Kant, in other words, the experience of the sublime was the oscillation between sensation and rationality in the face of the overwhelming-ness of phenomena in the world.
