Full textAbstract:
For many people, the phenomenon of divine hiddenness is so total that it is far from clear to them that God (roughly speaking, the God of Jewish and Christian tradition) exists at all. Reasonably enough, they therefore do not believe that God exists. Yet it is possible, whilst lacking belief in God’s reality, nonetheless to see it as a possibility that is both realistic and attractive; and in this situation, one will likely want to be open to the considerable benefits that would be available if God were real. In this paper I argue that certain kinds of desire for God can aid this non-believing openness. It is possible to desire God even in a state of non-belief, since desire does not require belief that its object exists. I argue that if we desire God in some particular capacity, and with some sense of what would constitute satisfaction, then through the desire we have knowledge – incomplete yet vivid in its personal significance – about the attributes God would need in order to satisfy us; thus, if God is real and does have those attributes, one knows something about God through desiring him. Because desire does not require belief, neither does the knowledge in question. Expanding on recent work by Vadas and Wynn, I sketch the epistemology of desire needed to support this argument. I then apply this epistemology to desire for God. An important question is how one might cultivate the requisite kinds desire for God; and one way, I argue, is through engaging with certain kinds of sacred music. I illustrate desire’s religiously epistemic power in this context, before replying to two objections.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article examines the concepts of knowledge and power in relation to charismatic preachers, African Initiated Church prophets and traditional healers in Harare. It explores how these practitioners perceive knowledge and power by adopting a phenomenological approach. How patients and 'consumers' regard preachers, prophets and traditional healers as being in possession of knowledge and power is also a central concern of the discussion. It is shown that believers are convinced that these specially endowed people are capable of ameliorating human distress through their esoteric knowledge and power. Through an examination of the prevailing socio-economic environment it is illustrated how most Africans are convinced that human knowledge and power are severely limited. A plea is made for religion to be taken seriously by all policy makers who desire to witness the transformation of African communities.

Full textAbstract:
Using survey design, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from two hundred and twenty-eight traditional medical practitioners using questionnaire, key-informant interviews and FGDs. The motivational factors investigated were perceived loss of knowledge power, reputation enhancement and expected incentives. Findings from quantitative data revealed that there was no significant relationship between attitude and amount of knowledge transmitted by the TMPs as well as between attitude and each of the motivational variables. However, qualitative data showed that TMPs generally in the region had a positive attitude towards knowledge transmission and mostly transmitted their knowledge because of their desire to enhance their reputation and many would also receive financial incentives. They did not fear losing their knowledge power due to knowledge transmission. The paper recommends a post-positivist approach to studies on knowledge transmission of TMPS in rural communities as this recognizes subjectivity in research by relying on opinions and feelings of respondents.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, the role of human bodily experience in the generation of metaphors in language and thought is investigated through empiric linguistic and psycholinguistic studies on the DESIRE IS HUNGER metaphor. Based on Grady’s hypothesis (1997), which suggests a direct link between the recurrence of universal particular bodily experiences and the generation of primitive conceptual metaphors, we investigated how American English and Brazilian Portuguese speakers metaphorically conceptualize desire in terms of hunger. Our results were congruent with Grady’s hypothesis, showing that what people know about their embodied experiences of hunger allows them both to predict which aspects of desire will, and will not, be thought of, and talked about, in terms of their embodied understandings of hunger, and to understand metaphorical expressions about human desires, such as politicians hunger for power or these children hunger for affection. Moreover, we analyzed the DESIRE IS HUNGER metaphor productivity, which was shown to be very high and was also shown to be employed in different discourse genres and in many areas of human knowledge, in both languages.

AbstractThis reply argues five points, in response to the commentaries on my book, “Made with Words”. First, that Hobbes's theory of language may have supported his materialism, as his materialism supported the theory of language. Second, that for Hobbes legal penalties as such do not take from freedom, only legal obligations. Third, that his emphasis on maker's knowledge explains his theory of a priori demonstrable knowledge and, in particular, the importance he gives to definitions. Fourth, that Hobbes's theory of the desire for power suggests, against his own strategy, that people each ought to seek the equality that goes with others not having power over them; this is the next best to the inequality a person would enjoy in having power over others. And fifth, that Hobbes's theory of freedom is inferior in a number of respects to the republican theory of freedom as non-domination that he opposed.

Power generation and refrigeration accomplished by means of rotating or reciprocating machinery. One of the basic elements of rotating machinery is the rotating channel system. With the desire for ever increasing efficiency in power generation and refrigeration, higher or lower operating temperatures are achieved. It has provided motivation for the pursuit of knowledge on heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics. This paper reviews the literature pertinent to studies of fluid flow and/or heat transfer in channel flows subjected to radial rotation, parallel rotation, and coaxial revolution. Special problems unique to rotating systems are discussed and future study areas are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Science studies scholars often study up to high-tech elites who produce and design scientific knowledge and technology. Methodological tension begins when you pair a desire to study down to less economically developed countries, with the desire to study up to high-tech elites within them. This becomes further complicated when the ethnographer and his/her informants share professional interests and credentials. In these situations, the researcher has high status because of geopolitical privilege. However, the researcher is neither a high-tech elite nor a local cultural elite. How might the ethnographer successfully access and navigate field sites imbued with these unseen power differentials? There are currently no visual mapping tools to enhance the process of reflexivity by feminist ethnographers, as they consider their globally embedded multiple, hierarchical, and situated positionality. This reflection methodology piece provides a tool to consider this phenomenon, as it exists across the Global North/South divide of power. Such a tool would be useful to northern ethnographers to better strategize ethics and access while avoiding complicity with structures of inequality and empowering their southern interlocutors.

Full textAbstract:
In 399 b. C., a man was accused and sentenced to die because people thought he had the power to seduce young people with words, not beautiful but morbid, naked words. His candour and open manner were offensive in the eyes of ordinary people: he walked about naked (soul-naked) among the Greeks, uncovering all prejudice, just as the Divine Marquis of Sade would in an apparently very different field. Indeed, both thinkers do the same thing: they expose a real and deeply hidden tendency in men: not the desire of knowledge, but the desire of not knowing anything about their own souls. They expose what people want to keep in the dark: the certitude or the falsehood of their judgements, the limits and the pursuits of our thought. But no one can go over the limit and keep on living.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay I argue that affirmations of traces of the Enlightenment project are locatable in the itinerary of postmodernisms simultaneously as the erosive disavowal of certain features of Enlightenment is persistently played out. Seeded in postmodernism is the disruptive iconoclastic act of Enlightenment. Enlightenment dismantled the edifice of feudalism to impose its own iconography and taxonomical protocols. But unlike Enlightenment/modernity, postmodernism’s subversion lacks the teleology to install a new iconography. While the impetus of Enlightenment/modernity formulates metanarratives and venerates the deployment of rationalism in creating coherent historiographies, postmodernism refuses any totalising/universalising/homogenising ideological and scientific narratives, as it privileges the deferral of meaning. Yet the relentless decentring of meaning formations must be the desire to equip the reader with discursive tools to know how to interpret a multiplicity of contesting narratives (affirmed in its praxis) similar to Enlightenment/modernity’s desire to accumulate knowledge as coterminous with knowledge as power to control and change. Arguably, postmodernism’s creation of renegade centres of meaning, after dismantling metanarratives, is inscribed with a romantic rapture; the desire for novelty and the realist ethos of capturing the underpinning social, economic and historic formations circumscribing realities, acts and events.

Full textAbstract:
While Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus (1972) is quite rightly considered a fully fledged response to May ’68 and as one with the radical politics of the 1970s, their 1980 follow-up, A Thousand Plateaus, has tended to provoke a more perplexed reaction. In this article, I will argue that we can nonetheless extract a definite line of argumentation serving a precise political end if we relate the text back to Foucault's mid-1970s output on power/knowledge. In particular, I will emphasise Deleuze and Guattari's appropriation of the Foucaultian notion of dispositif (apparatus) via their concept of the assemblage, the former being understood as a concrete articulation of lines of power, knowledge and subjectivation, as well as the Foucaultian ‘diagram’, the latter being a more abstract or indeterminate stage of the dispositif whose relative indeterminacy, for Deleuze and Guattari, offers a means of escape. I will show that, making room for the assemblage's opening back onto the relative indeterminacy of its generative stages, the assemblage incorporates into itself a more immanent alternative to the dispositif that is focused on collective desire rather than power, within which resistance becomes a primary and generative dimension rather than a counter-attack. In the first section, I will outline Foucault's approach to power, knowledge and subjectivation, emphasising Deleuze's reading of Foucault though without trying to overdetermine my reading in this way. Next, I will turn to the Foucaultian diagram. In the third section, I will focus on A Thousand Plateaus, demonstrating how the notion of assemblage developed in this text responds to and builds upon Foucault's approach to power/knowledge and subjectivation in order to reconceive resistance.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractHobbes begins the Elements of Law by claiming that "[t]he true and perspicuous explanation of the elements of laws natural and politic... dependeth upon the knowledge of what is human nature." (E.L. I.1.1)1 He agrees that morality and politics are "not to be discovered but to be made," but they are to be made as solutions to problems discovered through a detailed study of human nature.2 Among other things, this study reveals that humans are obsessed both with contemplating their own power and having others recognize it. The former desire is the desire for glory: the latter is the desire for honour. Hobbes goes on to show the conflict these desires cause. They ensure scarcity, since their objects are intrinsically scarce, and they contribute to irresolution, and so make it hard to keep covenants. In addition, they determine the form of any solution: the market is not a fully satisfactory solution, and the sovereign must redirect desires for honour and glory into harmless channels. I shall first argue against David Gauthier, who takes Hobbesian men to pursue honour and glory as mere instruments to the satisfaction of their asocial desires. I shall then present a revamped version of what Jean Hampton calls the "passions account" of conflict, defending it from her objections. I shall close by sketching how Hobbes responds to the problems caused by the desire for honour and glory.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on the work of the later Foucault, especially that concerning disciplinary power and bio-power, as well as Deleuze on the emergence of “societies of control,” this article traces the trajectory of obsessional subjectivity from its emergence as a firmly psychiatric category within a disciplinary matrix (i.e., monomania) toward its contemporary position within the bio-political sphere (i.e., obsessional neurosis and obsessive–compulsive disorder) in societies of control. It is argued—pursuant to Lacanian formulations—that obsessional neurosis simultaneously contributes to the efficacy of the workings of bio-power in imagining, vis-à-vis university discourse, a psychologized and psycho-biographical subject knowable and traceable, while also conferring an openness in being that would surmount the dysfunctionality inhering in repetitious thinking and doubt. The aim of this essay is to discern the structural dimensions of mechanisms of obsessional subjection as they implicate certain changing forms of power, and specifically that of our current predicament in the West, in a world where desire and the production of knowledge are governed through bio-power.

The paper aims to analyze the benefits and drivers of economic transformation through the development of human capital using inclusive principles. The study is a continuation of a series of works on modeling the system of labor activity using the factors of knowledge, education, and human capital. The research methodology includes both quantitative studies of the impact of knowledge and education on economic dynamics, and qualitative studies of the benefits and forces that promote and counteract fruitful inclusive changes. According to the analysis of the field of forces, the factors that counteract inclusive socio-economic changes (educational differentiation, the desire to have wealth and power) have, in general, high strength. The forces that contribute to change are relatively less powerful, but more numerous, which allows counting on the successful implementation of positive inclusive changes.

Full textAbstract:
In 1990, Antonio Negri pointed out some problems with Deleuze's political philosophy. Substituting infra-structures for life or desire, as constitutive dimensions of power formations, did not imply giving up on Marx, but it certainly did imply a change in the table of conceptual analysis and a profound renovation of the questions that pertain to militant praxis. Taking this into account, we intend to explore the sense of a rare fidelity to Marx, and a certain idea of intellectual commitment that, reframing its objects and its instruments, pretends to renew political thinking in order to confront the unforeseeable of new knowledge, new techniques and new political facts.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the role of culinary tourism experience between gender groups in Iranian culinary education tours. The research sample was randomly selected from 50 foreign tourists who participated in Persian Food Torus Institute’s culinary tours during four months. Kim et al. (2012) model of Memorable Tourism Experiences (MTEs) is used to design the research questionnaire and data. The results show that there is a significant difference in women’s desire for enjoyment, sense of freedom, power and refreshment rather than men. But in terms of novelty, local culture, meaningfulness, and knowledge gained for both men and women, it was no difference.

Full textAbstract:
The main idea of the article is that in our „postmodern” world ideologies are not at all dead but adopt new forms which I call both cynical (in Slotedijk’s sense of the term) and naïve. I start with reflecting on the very meaning of the term “ideology” and propose to adopt its broad and “dialectical” sense, embracing ideology as false knowledge and as false consciousness, but emphasizing its connection with power. After recalling some theories of the “end of ideology”, from Aron to Lyotard, through Polish thinkers such as Leszek Kołakowski, all based on a rather narrow sense of ideology. I argue that ideologies understood as a complex interconnection of desire and power have regained a crucial role, after the fall of the communist utopia, in the context of consumerist and technological capitalism and its conservative opponents.

This article examines the relationship between religion-politics and knowledge developed by the Kiai Tua and the Kiai Muda in Madura. The Kiai Tua, represented by Aliansi Ulama Madura (AUMA/The Alliance of Madurese Ulema), and the Kiai Muda, represented by Forum Kiai Muda (FKM/The Forum of Young Ulema), have actively propagated the idea of Islamism in Madura. Employing Foucault’s theory of power relations, this article finds that the relation of power and knowledge, which has been constructed by the AUMA, the FKM, and their organizational networks, seems to put Madura in a risk as this idea will bring about the intolerant and exclusive view. Their religious understanding and publicity have a militant and robust desire to make their ideological narratives, mainly the ideology of Islamic revival, along with the aspiration to establish a global Islamic leadership system, come into existence. This resistant attitude subsequently makes this ideology goes into an extreme, radical, and intolerant movement. For this reason, several moderate groups such as Pengurus Cabang Nahdlatul Ulama (PCNU) Pamekasan, along with its autonomous bodies, have actively voiced moderate and peaceful religious narratives as a counterbalance against intolerant and exclusive religious narratives proclaimed by two aforementioned Islamist groups.

The essay attempts to present and thus see the literary scholar, activist, and thinker Masao Miyoshi as we constantly saw him crossing the boundaries between the United States and Japan and eventually enlarging his vision to include the world at large. But the act of seeing Miyoshi and his ceaseless effort to overcome the boundaries separating people was paralleled by his voracious desire to cross the boundaries that divided the disciplines of knowledge. The force that lay behind the impulse to expand his acquisition of knowledge was an unrestrained restlessness that prompted a reaching out to know areas and regions that exceeded his chosen academic specialty. He saw this move to the margins and thresholds as the basis of a proper vocation of criticism, which, he believed, had disappeared from the centers of geographic and intellectual power.

Full textAbstract:
The figure of Oedipus haunted the thought of Michel Foucault from the outset of his tenure at the Collège de France, in association with several key philosophical and historical projects, and enduring until the conclusion of his career. However, it was with Foucault's account of an “Oedipus complex”—one that operated “not at the individual level but at the collective level; not in connection with desire and the unconscious but in connection with power and knowledge” (“Truth and Juridical Forms,” 1973)—that Foucault was able to enlist Oedipus for a genealogy of “sexuality” and, furthermore, of “governmentality,” such as would increasingly preoccupy him through the mid- to late 1970s. Foucault's attention to classical texts—in particular the Oedipus Tyrannos of Sophocles and the Republic of Plato—thereby helped to clear a critical pathway through the conventional Marxism embraced by the “repressive hypothesis,” and to arrive at a Nietzschean genealogy of sexuality and power.

In this study school principals acknowledged the manifestations of racism within their schools, but their lack of conceptual clarity led to ambivalence and ambiguities in their practice of antiracism pedagogy. Stakeholders, such as teachers who resisted staff antiracism development initiatives and white parents who withdrew from racially diverse learning environments, further complicated this shortcoming. Principals’ limited conceptual knowledge of antiracism combined with the desire to maintain a culture of harmony restricted their interrogation of racist ideologies and power relations that are embedded in the social, cultural, and political structures of schools. This article recommends that to adequately prepare themselves for the conflictual terrain of antiracism pedagogy, school leaders must acquire adequate conceptual and theoretical knowledge that will inform their transformational tasks. They must also address the contentious issue of a staffing model that reflects racial diversity, that is, one that is supportive of staff development initiatives that tackle race equity and social justice within schools.

This paper aims to state that knowledge blindness in educational research has serious obstacles to understanding knowledge development. Karl Maton offers sociological concepts of Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) - 'semantic gravity' and 'semantic density' – systematically. These concepts are used to analyze the way the classroom practices of secondary school learning in Indonesia, especially in Biology and History subjects. The researcher shows that the 'semantic wave' class can be a cumulative class practice. The largest human society in education has the desire to build cumulative knowledge. Researchers usually produce ideas that have usefulness or attraction beyond the specificity of their original context. This research is useful to make the power to explore deeper knowledge with a number of policies that state that education must prepare students to live and work in a rapidly changing society by providing knowledge and skills that can develop throughout 'lifelong learning'. Educational learning can also be observed not only by context but meaning and purpose also affect the cumulative and segmental parts. This problem forms the starting point for interdisciplinary research discussed in the papers collected in this special edition. Freebody (2013). At this point, the problem is the range with each discipline as the background of this research.

Full textAbstract:
The review of the topic is based on rapidly growing technicalization of the world and necessity to include this aspect as a fundamental for engineering education. Technical reality changes attitude to engineer’ competences and knowledge, concept of «engineering thinking», and responsibility of the engineering community. An engineer, creating a technique, has technical power in a man-made society. The desire to overcome the technocratic nature of education resulted in the need for philosophical thoroughness of engineering and technical education. The educational paradigm is in line with the development of scientific knowledge. The article draws attention to the connection between modern paradigm of scientific development and humanitarian component of contemporary education system. The synergistic convergent paradigm of scientific knowledge of the postmodern era is characterized by an interdisciplinary direction of scientific research: the integration of scientific, technical, natural science and socio-humanitarian knowledge. The anthropological perspective of philosophy reinforces its importance in solving the problems of interaction between man and technology. The analysis of scientific literature helped the author to synthesize ideas about the role of philosophy in the modern paradigm of knowledge. The authenticity of the article lies in the author's justification of the most important reasons for studying the discipline «Philosophy of Science» in the master's program of technical universities.

Contemporary thinking about archives remains bound up in the vexed relationship between the political and the knowable. This essay explores the political epistemology of archives and archival practices, seeking to dislodge the contemporary scholarly discourse on archives from its tendency to instrumentalize archivation as either a repository of knowledge or an apparatus of power. In studying the collections of two members of the surrealist movement, this essay examines the extent to which archival practices instead suspend the certainties of political desire, disclosing the persistence of discontinuity within the closed systems into which such certainties always threaten to develop. It focuses on two archival collections: the studio of André Breton at 42, rue Fontaine in Paris, and the figural “kitchen” of Leonora Carrington's paintings and writings.

AbstractWhat drives individuals toward a career in politics? Prior research on political ambition has often focused on socio-demographic variables while generally ignoring the importance of individual personality differences. Yet personality consistently predicts political knowledge, interest and participation, suggesting that individual differences may matter in addition to resources and the social environment. To this end, we assess the impact of both the HEXACO and Dark Triad models of personality in predicting nascent political ambition (that is, the initial desire to run for elected office) while controlling for well-established socio-demographic variables (for example, gender, income). Overall, we find considerable support for the predictive power of personality, especially the traits of honesty-humility, extraversion and narcissism. These results have important implications for understanding the kinds of people who are interested in a political career.

Full textAbstract:
Users of deal collectives coproduce “deals” that yield value beyond what a marketer intends when offering promotions. The authors develop an understanding of how this unintended value is coproduced through the combined actions of users in deal collectives. Users are drawn to deal collectives by a web of motivations that include subversive shopper feelings, which reflect a desire to outsmart firms and temporarily upend the market power structure. Uncovered transvaluation processes show that deal forums—due to their collective knowledge, creativity, and trust—are more effective than individual consumers at identifying, developing, and vetting opportunities to capture unintended value. The authors further reveal that unintended value can stem from untargeted promotions, pricing and promotion errors, and combinations or stacking of promotions. Strategies for monitoring deal collectives and either discouraging or supporting their activities are offered.

AbstractThis article examines the ways in which rural elite collaborators mobilized recruits for the British Army during the First World War. It thus not only increases knowledge of Punjab's military history, but adds to the understanding of collaboration as a process involving competitive groups in which elites manipulated the process for their own ends. The case study material drawn from the Shahpur district of the colonial Punjab argues that while there may have been a degree of indoctrination into the colonial state's values, it was mainly the desire to use its patronage to bolster family influence or to transform local hierarchies that was the key factor in securing willing collaborators. The competition for local power and influence provided a local dynamic to the collaborative process. The state could of course take advantage of this competition to serve its interests, just as the Punjabi tribal chiefs could utilize state patronage to beat off rivals to their power. Collaboration was thus a dynamic two-way process, rather than, as it is often portrayed, a top-down, one-way relationship.

The desire to achieve unquestionable knowledge and experience in history with the history of events in all spheres of history from time immemorial. For every scientist, finding the truth is conditio sine qua non, a challenge and a duty. In the course of the history of human thought in its development tirelessly searched for the most effective ways of achieving a revealing one that meets scientific criteria. In the history of science so far, many concepts in this field arouse unique ones for various reasons. Reflection on the legacy of the French physicist and mathematician René Descartes (1596-1650), one of the most outstanding scholars of the 17th century and one of the most famous and effective philosophers in history, is an inspiring source of research, his works, the reading of which verbally motivates reflection and also to the endless endeavors of mankind in the pursuit of knowledge to the discovery of truth. By exposing the power of reason of reason as the axis, I made the thinking person, adopting the credo in the form of I think, therefore I am… as the first principle of philosophy. There are interesting interpretations of Descartes' sentences, which testify to a fairly strong tradition on a global scale. The assessment from the justification of the grounds to questioning Descartes' concept must be found that the undoubted merit of the philosopher is inspiring his contemporaries and successors with faith in the power of reason and motivating them to take actions that prove its power, including efforts to put them into practice.

Full textAbstract:
Though the fat person in the eighteenth and nineteenth century culture usually represented wealth and prosperity, or by extension, either literally or metaphorically, greed and avarice, there was one situation in which fat people themselves were mocked and shamed. Extremely fat people were seen as a form of human grotesquery. They serve as a spectacle of oddity in fairs, circuses, vaudeville and most recently on television programs such as ‘The Biggest Loser’. In all this the fat man suffers the greatest humiliation. His body is at once exposed and undignified. The negative effect that these freaks shows had on viewers who themselves were fat, or those who feared becoming fat, or certainly on those who were themselves the object of ridicule. The stigma in this case, however, is one of oddity and uniqueness. What is clear from the historical documents, however, is that the connotations of fatness and of the fat person- lazy, gluttonous, greedy, immoral, uncontrolled, stupid, ugly, lacking in will power, primitive- preceded and then intertwined with explicit concern about health issues. Fat bodies as Foucault would say, is considered as hegemonic knowledge or stereotypes which are enforced by the authorities. Thus body size and weight can be seen and explored as a set of social meanings. The desire to raise one’s social status is a key motivational force for dieting. Creation of hegemonic understanding of fatness as a problem and discursive and other practices that aim at determining normalcy can be justifiably seen along the lines Foucault’s notion of power and specifically those of Biopower and Biopolitics. According to Foucault these power works through discourses and hegemonic knowledge.

Health has always been the most valuable and beautiful gift that Nature offered to humans. Unfortunately, nowadays, people value and desire more wealth than health; often they remain indifferent to the degradation of their own health. Only in front of serious diagnoses people start appreciating their true wealth – the health. The allopathic medicine has no giants’ power, as it sometimes treats symptoms and diseases instead of illnesses’ fundamental causes.Education, the other field revealing the horizon of knowledge, provides creative alternatives for spending revenues in favour of healthy individuals and societal robust development. The purpose almost remains the same: use both complex potentials and opportunities to increase motivation, accomplish joy of life and fulfil desires to build wellbeing. The link between Health and Education has complex links and hidden mechanisms waiting for to be explored and used in favour of all.

Full textAbstract:
This paper uses the case of South Africa’s latest land redistribution strategy known as the Proactive Land Acquisition Strategy, to explore whether, and how, research can have direct and positive impacts on beneficiaries of land reform. The study is situated within the practice of action research: to explore how it can generate knowledge that can be shared back and forth between stakeholders, as well as how it may ignite changes that the participants desire. The findings are that Proactive Land Acquisition Strategy is not meeting the overall goals land reform. But action research has allowed the beneficiaries to emerge from the process with new knowledge about their rights, as well as what options they have to move forward in their fight for secure land rights and decent livelihoods. We introduce a concept of a ‘learning and action space’ to explain our practice of action research. The paper concludes that action research is a desirable approach for land reform, but while it succeeded in educating beneficiaries, it is only one ingredient in ongoing struggles to challenge power relations among citizens and between citizens and the state.

Entrepreneurship knowledge has the power to maximize the youth's potential. Introducing the benefit of entrepreneurship skills to them would be one of the alternatives to escaping poverty and unemployment, especially for those who cannot continue their education to a higher level. To spread the entrepreneurial spirit to the young generation, a Digital Entrepreneurship Training Program was introduced in Sampora Village, Cisauk District. This program was a community service activity to increase the entrepreneurial interest of the Sampora youth villagers, who are members of Karang Taruna and Warung Teknologi (local youth organizations). Seminars, Workshop, and online discussions were leads to independent and productive sustainable activities. This program consists of five sub-activities: Open Recruitment; Entrepreneurship Basic Theory Training; Success Story and Achievement Motivation Training; Creative Business Plans and Digital Media for E-commerce Training; Creative Digital Business Plan Competition. The success criteria for the program are generated from the questionnaire that has been given to participants. We intended to study the increased level of knowledge regarding entrepreneurship, the increased level of commitment to implementing entrepreneurship programs, and the increased level of entrepreneurial desire. In this program, the participants were not only provided with entrepreneurial skills but they practiced them directly.

Through the characters of Zhenya and Boris, the film Nelyubov (2017) explores the issue of a toxic marriage. The story's theme reflects the complexities of the characters' relationships and the resulting problems. This theme adds intrigue to the film's problem articulation, particularly how the film's conflict can be constructed. Accordingly, this study seeks to identify the actant schemes created in the Nelyubov film. This study examines the location of individuals in the film using Algirdas Julien Greimas' Actantial Model theory. Further, this article employs Mills' Discourse Analysis and Smith's Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The results indicate representations for the subject, object, helper, opposer, sender, and receiver in the Nelyubov film, allowing for the fulfillment of the three kinds of axis: the axis of desire, the axis of power, and the axis of transmission/knowledge. The film's subject is Zhenya, and the object is the happiness he seeks.

This research aimed to find the phenomenon of escaping lackness trough popular fiction. By using a popular fiction approach Cawelty (1976) and Adi (2011) combined with the concept of psychoanalysis, the researchers tried to explore the passion and emptiness in popular iron man 3 movie through characters, settings, and plots in the story. By using the audience analysis approach in descriptive qualitative method, there were several factors that form the formula in this action iron man 3 story to fill the audience's dreams and fill the emptiness in the audience so that the achievement of popularity can be achieved. The results of this study showed that Stark as the protagonist was described as a special genius who could develop knowledge and technology to respond to natural phenomena that had not yet occurred. The ability of producer to create images of the desires of technology power with the needs of the community made this film successfully debuted. Spiced up with the story of romanticism Stark and his lover add to the surprises that were generated in accordance with the desire that involves the audience immersed in the story.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate long-term sports injuries, their prevalence, general identification of and consultation about injuries, and the knowledge among Hungarian athletes related to injury prevention. A questionnaire was designed to survey athletes regarding these topics. Olympic medal winners, nationally selected athletes, and amateur athletes were surveyed, and altogether 502 completed questionnaires were obtained. The data was analyzed with the Chi-square test for dichotomous variables and the Kruskal-Wallis H-test for questions with the Likert scale to try the statistical power of the hypotheses. The results of our analysis show that athletes suffer injuries regardless of their level of play, and that athletes regard their sports to be moderately dangerous. Most athletes would compete despite the risk of permanent injury; they compete with injuries mostly of their own volition; and they will risk potential injuries or long-term health damage to gain exceptional outcomes. Success is the first and foremost desire of athletes, and the risk of injuries or even long-term health damage does not play an important role in the value system of Hungarian athletes. Sport managers and officers of sport federations must be made aware that the first line of prevention of sport injuries is comprehensive medical consultation with proper medical coverage.

The article deals with the research of the structural components of students' motivational sphere towards learning a foreign language of professional orientation. It has been considered that the result of foreign language training of future electric power engineers and the desire to learn the professional language style depend on the level of motivation. There are five types of motives that encourage students to acquire a foreign language competence. The research reveals the essence of the concept of «motive of future electric power engineers to study foreign language», under which it is understood the structural element of motivation, being formed under the influence of external factors (strategy of development and implementation of international activities by technical Universities, the authority of teachers providing foreign-language training, the challenges of the information society, the innovations in the energy power sector, modern requirements to electric power specialties graduates) and internal needs of the individual (the desire to acquire up-to-date knowledge in the specialty, the will to succeed in the learning process and in the future professional activity). The holistic formation of educational, professional, communicative, personal, socio-cultural motives forms a complex of stimulating means aiming positive attitude of the students of electric power energy specialty to study a foreign language, which is carried out under the influence of external and internal motivation. Moreover the rate of studying the disciplines of the general training cycle by future electric power energy engineers on the bases of personal motives has been formed. It has been defined the priority of «Foreign language for professional orientation» among other non-linguistic subjects, the study of which is envisaged by the educational and professional program of training the applicants for the specialty 141 «Electricity, electrical engineering and electromechanics». However the external factors that can increase students' internal motivation for foreign language training have been highlighted. They are an educational work practice at the foreign electric power plants; studying of selective professional disciplines in a foreign language; reading contemporary technical literature of a foreign publishing house; using of innovative technologies, modern teaching methods in practical courses in the disciplines «Foreign language for professional orientation», «Business foreign language»; organization and implementation of extracurricular work for students in a foreign language. It has been defined the results of the experimental work had been carried out by the method of empirical research, such as surveys, observations and comparisons. On the basis of the data obtained, the author of the article states that the motivational sphere of the future electric power engineers and encouraging them to study a foreign language is at a sufficient level, and considers that the formation process of motives and positive motivation of students for foreign language training requires further development and comprehensive expansion.

With the advent of the 1917 Revolution, “the whole of the Russian cultural world [became] an icon.” Soviet power retroactively encoded revolutionary imminence and immanence in history and fetishized the revolutionary historical moment as the pregnant body of past, present and future. Leon Trotsky wrote: “If the symbol is a concentrated image, then the revolution is the supreme maker of symbols, since it presents all phenomena and relations in concentrated form.” Lenin's belief that “a communist [proletarian] culture must embody the entire store of knowledge accumulated in the pre-revolutionary past” could not, however, fully predict the Soviets' gross and wholesale advertisement of self-made objects inscribed with ideological desire. This owed more to what Renato Poggioli called the “pronounced tendency of the Russian critical spirit to translate artistic and cultural facts into religious or political myths.” This tendency was exploited by Joseph Stalin, who recognized that “Totalitarianism is … its own Utopia.”

Although the need to integrate research into the practice world has always been a desire of researchers and practitioners alike, recently there has been growing interest in this collaboration. While studies have explored various aspects of this connection, few have investigated the ‘black box’ of social relations between academics and practitioners. Based on a qualitative study, the current article examines how practitioners and academics perceive this connection. Using Foucault’s perspective and the causes typology of Stone, the findings reveal three meta themes: the descriptive, emotional and functional stories, and identify more nuanced features of the connection between academics and practitioners. Points for practitioners Managers should be aware that the connection between academics and practitioners involves functional, descriptive and emotional perceptions. Managers can diminish the relationship between power and knowledge by promoting formal mechanisms that acknowledge the common interests of academics and practitioners. Boundary spanners can be used to create more equal and productive relationships.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a screening technique to assess the impact on model fidelity introduced by variations in the properties or positions of features in harmonically forced fluid-loaded structural acoustic models. The perspective taken is one of knowledge of a reference state, with a desire to determine the impact on the total radiated acoustic power due to perturbations in the reference state. Such perturbations change the predicted resonance frequencies of a structure under consideration, and hence, change the predicted response amplitudes. The method uses a single degree of freedom response model in the local region of each fluid-loaded resonance, coupled with eigenvalue sensitivities or variations, to estimate the perturbation impact. The perturbation is scaled by the degree to which each given mode participates in the response quantity of interest. The SDOF model yields results that indicate that proportional bandwidth analysis will be less sensitive to perturbation than constant bandwidth analysis. This is demonstrated through comparison of a constant bandwidth analysis and a 1/3 octave analysis applied to the same system. Elements of the analysis method are not necessarily restricted to model perturbations nor acoustic power, rather they may be used to assess the perturbation of any quadratic response quantity of interest due to changes in resonance frequency.

Full textAbstract:
From a review of some of the literature and a brief compiling of statistics on women in positions of leadership and power, and with a quick look at the life and work of some contemporary women who have thought about and lived the life of corporate leadership, it is clear that women have made small progress into positions of power and influence. Research shows that this is true because they did not desire the positions of leadership, did not want to pay the price of the loneliness of leadership, or were derailed in some way by sex. A review of the timeline for the advances for women also shows the disconnect between what happens in legislation or social opinion and what really happens to the plight of women in the halls of power. Research indicates the alternative for women seeking positions of power in the corporate structure is as follows: Some women…who are the best qualified for leadership…leave the corporate ranks and never return. Some decide to become entrepreneurs. Some decide on other upward mobility enterprises. This paucity of women in the Boardroom and at the helm of corporate power definitely accounts for the lack of soul, ethics, and the general quandary in corporate America. The dilemma that leaders are now facing is: What happened here, as evidence by corporate scandals and the fall of Wall Street, where do we go, and what do we do now? It is the focus of this paper to show that the greatest deterioration of the corporate structure is caused by the following: Not including and/or promoting women into the ranks of leadership…real policy making power…not providing a female friendly environment for women, not setting up legitimate and ongoing mentoring systems for women, not recognizing the different, but significant, voice of knowledge that women bring to the table.

This article displays post bureaucratic organisational concept as an adequate representative of all emerging organizational forms which are natural result of persistent initiatives to flexibly and intensify working process. Under this term we assume all budding ?sub-representatives' such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Just-in-time concept (JIT), network systems and joint ventures, virtual organizations, teamwork and other related structures. The author concludes that main virtues of new organizational paradigm are flexibility, decentralization, higher employee empowerment, knowledge and information sharing, responsibility for the system as a whole and permanent learning. On the other hand, some downsides become obvious. Those are danger from anarchy, responsibility and stress, greater employees' insecurity and resistance to new practices. Furthermore, the paper shed light on power and identity dynamics through the lens of improved and still intentional methods of organizational control. The main argument is that compulsive desire to control never fades away, only the methods of control takes different, more advanced forms through organizational culture, vocabulary and discourses monitoring at a distance, peer evaluation inside teams, employee selection and many others.

This article draws on the 26 June 2011 US embassy-sponsored Gay Pride parade in Islamabad, Pakistan alongside popular US visual cultural moments (2008–2012). I use visual culture to reread US intrigue in Pakistani queer subjects through specific images of terrorist/feminized masculinities – images that elucidate the conspicuous shifts in the technologies of power and sexuality in the context of contemporary Pakistani LGBT visibility. I move through popular US representations of Pakistan, Muslim masculinity and US LGBT visibility – all of which attempt to capture homoerotic desire (and dread) in the transnational landscape of sexuality-racial-gender politics and all of which, I argue, are embroiled in US national identity (and ‘security’). My analysis is two-pronged. First, I look closely and critically at the narrative and visual character of the knowledge the US has created around defining Pakistan and Pakistani (sexual) subjects. Second, I demonstrate that in Pakistan queer resistance is often produced and animated from below the state and articulated against US hegemonic practices of visibility and representation.

Others, delighted with their self-belief and mania for power, throw scorn on the law, on mercy, pardon, and forgiveness, and let themselves be led by anger, stupidity, complacency, stigma and desire for exclusion. In the tale narratives, they are further represented as scholars/wisemen, fortune-tellers, the ‘foresighted’, ancient old men, old women, wizards, taltoses (in the words of folklorist Ilona Nagy “mysterious people of fate”), doubles/doppelgangers, or animals with extraordinary abilities (the ability to speak human languages, or to transfigure themselves), prestigious kings from another country, ministers, advisors, witches who deceive the king (not uncommonly Gypsy women), depending on whether the intention is to link the giver of advice and the meaning of what he says to the sacred (biblical) or the profane (sometimes mythical), as it illuminates his/her existential character.

Full textAbstract:
Person-centered healthcare is central to the practice of compassionate medicine. The practice of person-centered healthcare occurs when intuitive and organizational thinking is engaged harmoniously, rather than in competition. Present healthcare systems relegate core providers and patients to 10-minute appointments for the purpose of meeting budgetary or patient access targets. It is unrealistic to expect such a system to be sufficient to share values and expertise. Often, important questions are left to those without the experience or expertise to answer. Person-centered healthcare can empower people to escape from fragmented medical care and displaced knowledge. The roles of patient and doctor can better serve medicine by asking all to go beyond their assigned roles to communicate and form relationships. These working partnerships will respect individual and role-based values, strengths and weaknesses. Being a patient is a condition or state somewhere between death and life that it is common to all. The patient is not an entity, but a person. Providing medical care is a profession, it is what physicians do, not who they are. Without cooperation between doctor and patient, medical intervention loses power and effectiveness. The consultation may be temporarily seized by social force and dominance, but it is maintained by respect and relationship. Respect is earned and negotiated by listening, observing and then acting in the best interests of others. This requires sensitive negotiation and the desire to build the bridges in medicine between knowledge and need. Great negotiators make it their business to know the strengths, values, needs and limitations of others. Power is intrinsically bound to what we value. What we value is what we will invest in. Let us assess the conditions we have to work with, reason together and build respect, access and relationships in healthcare.

Full textAbstract:
Inspired by the unitary-transformative paradigm and phenomenological research, and recognizing that caring must embrace the whole of what is, the authors present a theory and a practice of healing. They assume that healing is a natural process that comes from within the person, that to be human is to be concerned with meaning and that everything and everyone are interconnected. Three theoretical and practical processes are presented: “Breathing,” “Joining With What Is” and “Experiencing Self.” Together the three assumptions and the three processes facilitate being fully who we are, being true to ourselves and consciously living the lives we desire to create. The authors share this work with full recognition that it is possible, realistic and worthwhile to grow into a fuller understanding of our true selves and of the power we really have as individuals, communities, professions, nations and a world. Life is a healing journey; embraced it is one that enriches our personal lives as well as the care that we provide. Nursing and our health care systems must embrace a whole perspective if we are to continue to deepen our knowledge and understanding of the experience of being human.

Full textAbstract:
Multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) has emerged as an important and highly controversial issue in occupational health. Debate centers on whether the illness is “physical” or “psychological.” A strong corporate-backed campaign has framed the debate and has pushed MCS advocates into a strategy of “proving the physical” nature of MCS. Proponents of both positions, however, share key assumptions that impede long-term efforts to benefit MCS sufferers, including acceptance of the physical/psychological dichotomy as a paradigm for the illness, a desire to rid the debate of “politics” to allow “objective scientific” data to be amassed, and a view of MCS as unique without links to other occupational illnesses. While a grassroots movement has benefited MCS sufferers in a number of important ways, the shared assumptions have impeded development of a more complex model for the illness that is reflective of a complex reality, reproduced mainstream expert/non-expert relationships, and failed to connect with the broader occupational health and safety movement. The author outlines an alternative theory and practice to begin addressing these issues, beginning with a recognition of MCS as a problem of developing knowledge within a context of class power.

The instrument of knowledge and communication of religious essence, the religious language is based upon the recognition of a world of sacredness, which is defined by reference to the religious dimension of the human being. From the semantic perspective, the religious language is rooted in a preexisting extra-linguistic referent, which eludes historic space-time categories, in an attempt to build a world of transcendental essence and establish a relationship between man and the sacred. In this view, the word is invested with magical powers, playing the role of a mediator between the human being living in the world of the profane and the sacred world of the Divinity. Since the word embraces the essence of the named element with the power to shape reality, the religious man pays special attention to the verbal expression not only from the desire to adapt to reality, but especially out of the care not to cause adverse changes amidst it. We propose in this paper to review the main religious taboos specific to the religious language and the description of the pragmatic valences that the euphemistic expression manifests in the religious communication.
