Full textAbstract:
In December 1945 the "L'Approdo" transmissions were launched at the RAI headquarters in Florence. The radio programme, one of the most important in Italy at the time, went on the air up to 1977, being accompanied from 1952 by a magazine and from 1963 to 1972 by a television programme. The three parallel cultural "enterprises" boasted an impressive number of important collaborators, gravitating around the decisive figure of Carlo Betocchi as leader and organiser. Nevertheless, despite its significance, even the adventure of "L'Approdo" was destined to die. When the transmissions and the publication of the magazine ceased, an entire cultural élite had to come to terms not only with the objective difficulties, but with a crisis of trust and of commitment in the face of what were now irreversible changes in the country. Yet – precisely because "L'Approdo" had battled for an approach that was destined to become minority with the triumph of the new media society – the retrieval of its history and the reconstruction through voices, pages and images of one of the first examples of encounter and mediation between culture and communication appears particularly significant. The methods and the emphatic planning of the entire experience emerge clearly from the first issue of the magazine, produced here in anastatic reprint, and above all from the enclosed CD-Rom which proposes, along with the tables of contents of "L'Approdo", the files and records of the entire correspondence (over 20,000 unpublished pieces) and details of the surviving scripts of the transmissions… In short, we finally have at our disposal material that enables us to reconstruct – through the traces of a programme and a magazine and of the intellectuals who collaborated on them – thirty years of culture and utopia, of compromise and enthusiasm, clustered around the birth, growth and death of an articulated project of "cultural policy".

Full textAbstract:
Radical Botany uncovers a long speculative tradition of plant fiction that conjures up new languages to grasp the life of plants—their vegetality—in all its specificity and vigor. The first part of the book reaches back to seventeenth-century materialisms to show how plants, rather than being systematically excluded from human deliberation, have in fact participated in modernity. The French authors with whom the work begins turn to plants to think through the problems and paradoxes that face all forms of life considered first as matter. Within this framework, plants are ascribed an agency and vitality that might otherwise seem foreign to them, but they are also envisioned as beings that resist incorporation into human contexts and thus have something to teach humans about their limitations and vulnerabilities. Classically, the botanical sciences that develop over the course of the long eighteenth century function as a project for ordering, visualizing, labeling, and classifying life. In Radical Botany, the authors unearth an alternative set of engagements with the plant as a life form—a tradition that conceives of vegetal life as resisting representability even as it participates in the production of new representational modes—including the novel, early cinema, and contemporary virtual reality—and new affects—including queer desires, feminist affinities, and ecological solidarities. The radical botanical works this book explores not only prioritize plants as active participants in “their” world but suggest that the apparent passivity of plants can function as a powerful destabilizing force in its own right.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter looks at three of the most critical new-media projects, all of which played an important role in the birth of indymedia. It begins with BURN!, a project initiated by undergraduates at University of California–San Diego. BURN! launched during the initial stages of the Internet, and was one of the first experiments where activists developed their own semiautonomous Web-based infrastructure. It then foregrounds the Z Media Institute (ZMI) in Cape Cod. ZMI, which still exists today, is a think tank and leadership institute for radical politics and alternative media. In the mid 1990s, ZMI enrolled many of the eventual founders of indymedia, and it was at ZMI that many of the critical ideas about the importance of participatory democratic governance structures within independent media networks began to take form. Finally, the chapter details the short history of the independent journalism project CounterMedia. CounterMedia was a temporary tactical media-convergence center established in Chicago during the 1996 Democratic National Convention. The aim of CounterMedia was to create a physical and virtual space for the production and distribution of alternative journalism during the Chicago-based convention.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores Benito Mussolini's view on fascism and war. War had an essential place in Mussolini's worldview, even before he came to power in 1922. After this, Mussolini showed some realism and opportunism in domestic and foreign policy, but he was first and foremost driven by an ultranationalist, racist, militarist, and Social Darwinist worldview which rested on the fundamental assumption that life is a struggle and war the father of all things. Mussolini believed the twentieth century to be the century of Italy. He failed to assemble his ideas into an all-embracing intellectual system; however, he possessed a sufficiently articulated and coherent worldview, the essence of which was that the nation would be made through war and territorial expansion. Racism was the most radical part of the fascist project to transform Italians into a warrior race.

Kelly, Mary. Mary Kelly’s Concentric Pedagogy. Edited by Juli Carson. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350352476.
Full textAbstract:
Selected and introduced by Juli Carson, this book presents a collection of essential essays, interviews and never-before published archival materials that trace the development of the teaching of major artist and thinker Mary Kelly from 1980-2017. As an artist and a theorist, Kelly is known for her foundational contributions to feminism and conceptual art; she is also revered for her innovative pedagogy, which has influenced countless artists, writers and teachers within the international art community. Her description of a feminist practice of concentric pedagogy, centred on the artwork rather the mastery of the teacher, radically changed teaching practice in art studios. Detailing Kelly’s innovative pedagogical program, the essays are split into three sections: The Method, which focuses on Kelly’s renowned method of ‘ethical observation’ within studio critique; The Project, which explores her notion of what constitutes an artistic project; and Project and Method in the Field, which presents for the first time a transcription of On the Passage of a Few People through a Rather Brief Period of Time, a performative colloquy commissioned by the Tate Modern and moderated by Kelly in 2015. Following this transcription is a portfolio of practicing artists previously enrolled in Kelly’s Interdisciplinary Studio Area at UCLA. Mary Kelly’s Concentric Pedagogy highlights how contemporary studio teaching practice has been largely informed by Kelly’s bold and innovative approach to art pedagogy, evidencing how the intersection of teaching, artistic practice and radical political engagement can transform our approach to all three. It is essential reading for students and teachers of art and design studio practice, art history and theory, and contemporary and feminist art

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the different facets of Spanish fascism. The Spanish fascist project was essentially secular. For perhaps the first time on the Spanish right, fascism offered a radical break with the past. The reliance on religion, which had for some time defined the essential difference between left and right in Spain, was reworked to make Catholicism a national attribute. Francoism, meanwhile, was a hybrid, the result of a profound dialectic that existed between all sections of the anti-republican right during the 1930s. Fascism provided the dynamism, rhetoric, and mobilizing force that proved to be invaluable assets during the Civil War, while the Falange Española peopled Franco's New State as soldiers, killers, leaders, and officials. Falangism always existed within a wider and more general right-wing discourse and ideology that may have eventually undermined an identifiable fascism, but which had also brought it into existence in the first place.

Full textAbstract:
It has rarely been recognized that the Christian writers of the first millennium pursued an ambitious and exciting philosophical project alongside their engagement in the doctrinal controversies of their age. This book offers for the first time a full analysis of this Patristic philosophy. It shows how it took its distinctive shape in the late fourth century and gives an account of its subsequent development until the time of John of Damascus. The book falls into three main parts. The first of them starts from an analysis of the philosophical project underlying the teaching of the Cappadocian fathers, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianzus. This philosophy, arguably the first distinctively Christian theory of being, soon becomes near-universally shared in Eastern Christianity. A few decades after the Cappadocians, all sides in the early Christological controversy take its fundamental tenets for granted. Its application to the Christological problem thus appeared inevitable. Yet it created substantial conceptual problems. Parts II and III of the book describe in detail how these problems led to a series of increasingly radical modifications of the Cappadocian philosophy. The chapters of Part II are dedicated to the miaphysite opponents of the Council of Chalcedon, while Part III discusses the defenders of the Council from the early sixth to the eighth centuries. Through this overview, the book reveals this period as one of remarkable philosophical creativity, fecundity, and innovation.

Goff, Philip. Consciousness and Fundamental Reality. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190677015.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
A core philosophical project is the attempt to uncover the fundamental nature of reality, the limited set of facts upon which all other facts depend. Perhaps the most popular theory of fundamental reality in contemporary analytic philosophy is physicalism: the view that the world is fundamentally physical in nature. The first half of this book argues that physicalist views cannot account for the evident reality of conscious experience and hence that physicalism cannot be true. However, the book also tries to show that familiar arguments to this conclusion—Frank Jackson’s form of the knowledge argument and David Chalmers’ two-dimensional conceivability argument—are not wholly adequate. The second half of the book explores and defends a radical alternative to physicalism known as “Russellian monism.” Russellian monists believe that (i) physics tells us nothing about the concrete, categorical nature of material entities, and that (ii) it is this “hidden” nature of matter that explains human and animal consciousness. Throughout the second half of the book various forms of Russellian monism are surveyed, and the key challenges facing it are discussed. Ultimately the book defends a cosmopsychist form of Russellian monism, according to which all facts are grounded in facts about the conscious universe.

Full textAbstract:
This book aligns culture and politics by focusing on an art form that became a darling of the Cuban revolution: dance. This history of staged performance in ballet, modern dance, and folkloric dance analyzes how and why dance artists interacted with republican and, later, revolutionary politics. Drawing on written and visual archives, including intriguing exchanges between dancers and bureaucrats, it argues that Cuban dancers used their bodies and ephemeral, nonverbal choreography to support and critique political regimes and cultural biases. As esteemed artists, Cuban dancers exercised considerable power and influence. They often used their art to posit more radical notions of social justice than political leaders were able or willing to implement. After 1959, while generally promoting revolutionary projects like mass education and internationalist solidarity, they also took risks by challenging racial prejudice, gender norms, and censorship, all of which could affect dancers personally. On a broader level, the book shows that dance, too often overlooked in histories of Latin America and the Caribbean, provides fresh perspectives on what it means for people, and nations, to move through the world.

Villani, Stefano. Making Italy Anglican. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197587737.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Making Italy Anglican is a study of the Italian translations of the Book of Common Prayer undertaken between 1608 and the early twentieth century. For almost three hundred years there were those in England who believed, in different and changing ways, that the distribution of the translation of the Book of Common Prayer could trigger a radical change in the Italian political and religious landscape. The aim of the Italian translation was to present the text to the Italian religious and political elite in the belief that the English liturgy embodied the essence of the Church of England. The beauty, harmony, and simplicity of the English liturgical text rendered into Italian were intended to demonstrate that the English church came closest to the apostolic model. The leitmotif running through the various incarnations of this project, above all at the beginning of the seventeenth century and in the nineteenth century, is the idea of promoting top-down reform, according to the model of the Church of England itself. These ventures mostly had a little real impact on Italian history. The story of this fruitless encounter helps us to better understand both the changing self-perception of the international role of the Church of England and the cross-cultural and religious relations between Britain and Italy.

Porter, Laurence M. A Gustave Flaubert Encyclopedia. Greenwood, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400660825.
Full textAbstract:
Gustave Flaubert is probably the most famous novelist of nineteenth-century France, and his best known work,Madame Bovary,is read in numerous comparative literature and French courses. His fiction set the standard to which other authors turned to learn their craft, and his cult of art and his unrelenting search for stylistic perfection inspired many later writers, such as Maupassant, Proust, Conrad, Faulkner, and Joyce. His denunciation of materialistic, corrupt society; his fascination with altered states of consciousness; his oscillation between metaphysical longings and a radical nihilism; and his deep-seated mistrust of the adequacy of words themselves anticipate the works of contemporary authors. This reference is a convenient guide to his life and writings. Included in this volume are several hundred alphabetically arranged entries on Flaubert's individual works and major characters; historical persons and events that shaped his life; the themes that run throughout his writings; the critical approaches employed by scholars studying his works; and related topics of interest. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and most close with a brief bibliography. All of his major works are treated at length, and the volume mentions nearly every unpublished project of his that has a title. The book concludes with a selected, general bibliography of major studies.

Auerbach, Jeffrey A. Imperial Boredom. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198827375.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Imperial Boredom offers a radical reconsideration of the British Empire during its heyday in the nineteenth century. Challenging the long-established view that the empire was about adventure and excitement, with heroic men and intrepid women settling new lands and spreading commerce and civilization around the globe, this analysis instead argues that boredom was central to the experience of empire. It looks at what it was actually like to sail to Australia, to serve as a soldier in South Africa, or to accompany a colonial official to the hill stations of India, arguing that for numerous men and women, from governors to convicts, explorers to tourists, the Victorian empire was dull and disappointing. Drawing on diaries, letters, memoirs, and travelogues, it demonstrates that all across the empire, men and women found the landscapes monotonous, the physical and psychological distance from home debilitating, the routines of everyday life wearisome, and their work unfulfilling. Ocean voyages were tedious; colonial rule was bureaucratic; warfare was infrequent; economic opportunity was limited; and indigenous people were largely invisible. The seventeenth-century empire may have been about wonder and marvel, but the Victorian empire was a far less exciting project. Combining individual stories of pain and perseverance with broader analysis, this book traces the emergence of boredom as a human emotion, while simultaneously explaining what these expressions of boredom reveal about the British Empire.

Hone, Joseph. Alexander Pope in the Making. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198842316.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
How did Alexander Pope become the greatest poet of the eighteenth century? Drawing on previously neglected texts and overlooked archival materials, Alexander Pope in the Making provides a radical new account of the poet’s early career, from the earliest traces of manuscript circulation to the publication of his collected Works. Joseph Hone illuminates classic poems such as An Essay on Criticism, The Rape of the Lock, and Windsor-Forest by setting them alongside lesser-known texts by Pope and his contemporaries, many of which have never received sustained critical attention before. Pope’s earliest experiments in satire, panegyric, lyric, pastoral, and epic are all explored alongside his translations, publication strategies, and neglected editorial projects. By recovering cultural values shared by Pope and the politically heterodox men and women whose works he read and with whom he collaborated, Hone unearths powerful new interpretive possibilities for some of the eighteenth century’s most celebrated poems. Alexander Pope in the Making mounts a comprehensive challenge to the ‘Scriblerian’ paradigm that has dominated scholarship for the past eighty years. It sheds fresh light on Pope’s early career and reshapes our understanding of the ideological landscape of his era. This book will be essential reading for scholars and students of eighteenth-century literature, history, and politics.

Huddleston, Andrew. Nietzsche on the Decadence and Flourishing of Culture. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198823674.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
In Nietzsche’s first book The Birth of Tragedy (1872), cultural renewal is paramount among his concerns. The standard story about Nietzsche’s philosophical development is that he soon becomes disillusioned with this project, and his mature philosophy undergoes a radical shift. Instead of reposing his hopes in a broader culture, he comes to occupy himself instead with the fate of a few great individuals, or, at the extreme, perhaps mainly with his own quasi-artistic self-cultivation. The book questions this individualist reading that has become prevalent, and develops an alternative reading of Nietzsche as a more social thinker, whose sees cultural excellence as no less important. Nietzsche, on this reading, does not think that great individuals are all that ultimately matter. What matter too are whole cultures, understood not just as sources of artistic stimulation or existential succor, but, like great individuals, as ends in themselves: namely, as the collective manifestation of powerful, beautiful, and admirable forms of human life. The best cultures, as Nietzsche will repeatedly suggest, are like great artworks. The book develops this analogy, one with a heritage in the German Romantics, and explores its philosophical implications. It uses Nietzsche’s perfectionistic ideal of a flourishing culture, and his diagnostics of cultural malaise, as a point of departure for reconsidering many of the central themes in his ethics and social philosophy, as well as for understanding the interconnections with the form of cultural criticism that was part and parcel of his distinctive philosophical enterprise.

Full textAbstract:
The idea that states should provide a means-tested guaranteed minimum income for citizens who are unable to meet their basic needs is widely shared and has been a central component in the evolution of social citizenship rights in existing welfare states. However, an increasing number of activists and scholars defend the more radical option of establishing a universal basic income, that is, an unconditional income paid to all members of society on an individual basis without any means test or work requirement. Indeed, some political philosophers have argued that basic income is one of the most important reforms in the development of a just and democratic society, comparable to other milestones in the history of citizenship rights, such as universal suffrage or even the abolishment of slavery. Basic income or similar ideas, such as a basic capital or a negative income tax, have been advanced in many versions since the 18th century in different parts of the world and under a great variety of names. However, while these were previously often isolated and disconnected initiatives, basic income has more recently become the object of an increasingly cumulative research effort to shed light on the many aspects of this idea. It has also inspired policy developments and given rise to experiments and pilot projects in several countries.

Full textAbstract:
Hörspiele - in den 1920er Jahren für das Radio entwickelt - bilden ein eigenes literarisches Genre. Nach einer lebhaften Entwicklung sprengt das Pophörspiel als Kunstform ab den späten 1960er Jahren dann radikal mediale Grenzen und Hörerwartungen: Dies zeigt sich etwa in musikähnlichen Collagen, der Zitation und Verhandlung von Pop-Lebensstilen oder der Demontage des narrativen Sinngehalts. Wobei es dem Pophörspiel immer auch darum geht, die Öffnung zur Rock- und Popmusik sowie zur Popkultur allgemein voranzutreiben und einer bürgerlichen Kunstauffassung kritisch zu begegnen. Im Band versammeln sich exemplarische Blicke auf ausgewählte Hörspiele von u. a.: Andreas Ammer / FM Einheit, Sibylle Berg, Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, Heiner Goebbels / Heiner Müller, Ferdinand Kriwet, Thomas Meinecke, Rimini Protokoll, Milo Rau, Kathrin Röggla, Christoph Schlingensief, She She Pop und Wolf Wondratschek. Stefan Greif (*1961) ist seit 2007 Professor für Neuere deutsche Literaturwissenschaft an der Universität Kassel. Promotion 1992 zum Ehrkonzept bei Theodor Fontane, Habilitation 1998 mit einer Arbeit zu Bildästhetik und Beschreibungskunst in der Literatur. Zuletzt erschien von ihm das 'Herder Handbuch' (Hg., 2016). Nils Lehnert (*1984) wurde 2018 mit einer Studie zu Wilhelm Genazinos Romanfiguren promoviert. Derzeit am Institut für Germanistik der Universität Kassel. Arbeitsschwerpunkte: Literaturtheorie, Popästhetik sowie medienübergreifende Kulturphänomene.

We are for reconciliation. As for the details, they can be discussed. The project may be amended, but it will pass.Rachid Ghannouchi1This book sheds light on Ennahda’s historical evolution, the backdrop to understanding its current ideological and political orientation. Following Tunisia’s 2010–11 uprisings, many pundits analysed political developments through the prism of ‘Islamists versus secularists’ or ‘modernists versus obscurantists’. Whilst typically contrasted with more secular currents, Ennahda actually has much in common with them. Since the mid-2000s its leaders have attempted to position their movement within the traditions of the nineteenth-century Tunisian reformist movement just as Bourguiba and Ben Ali had sought to do decades earlier. Like them, senior Ennahda figures have engaged in a rewriting of history to portray their organisation as entirely non-violent and democratic, attempting to erase from its memory periods that conflict with this narrative. Bourguiba did so by downplaying, if not denying outright, his violent crackdown on the Ben Youssef opposition, an approach both he and Ben Ali later adopted regarding a range of dissidents. Ennahda leaders have taken a similar approach, if on a smaller scale, when dismissing the existence of plans in the 1980s to overthrow the regime by force. They have also downplayed the past violence of some of its own members. Rather than acknowledging past mistakes and controversies, the vast majority of its activists have internalised a one-sided discourse of victimisation and suffering....

Full textAbstract:
This book studies the complex relationship of religion to modernity, arguing that modernity should be understood as the consequence, not the cause, if the new intellectual landscape of the 19th century. The lens of Islamic Modernism is used to uncover the underlying epistemology and methodology of historicism that penetrated the Middle East and South Asia in this period, forcing and enabling a recalibration of the definition, nature, function and place of religion. Muslim Modernists engaged in a sophisticated project of theological reform designed to marry their twin commitments to religion and modernity; they were in conversation with European scholarship and Catholic Modernism, but more importantly, with their own complex Islamic traditions. This book provides a new framework for conceptualizing the relationship between Western and non-Western modernities. It demonstrates that Islamic Modernists adopted intellectual frameworks that first emerged in Europe, then deployed them to argue for the superiority of Islam. For Islamic Modernists, Islam had historically been, and could once again become a motor of modernity and the solution to contemporary ‘backwardness.’ Islamic Modernists considered in this book include Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (Iran), Imam Bayezidof (Russia), Namik Kemal (Ottoman Empire) and Syed Ameer Ali (India).
