Abstract:

This article discusses bizarre facts and news emerge as events of digital cultures. Made with, coming from, as well as being glocal biopolitical tensions and communication, they become communication themselves and reveal new values and contemporary traces – the very same that shape them as mediabodies, i.e., each and every one of those events manifests a trans glocal matter. Reverberating on crossed dimensions, in the Mediabody Theory the concept of ”body” is a system of constant dialogues with environments in which human bodies take a part, but are not the central agents anymore. The absurd congruences above are mediabodies of an ongoing flux of changes.

Abstract:

Abstract Absurdist accounts of life’s meaning posit that life is absurd because our pretensions regarding its meaning conflict with the actual or perceived reality of the situation. Relationary accounts posit that contingent things gain their meaning only from their relationship to other meaningful things. I take a detailed look at the two types of account, and, proceeding under the assumption that they are correct, combine them to see what the implications of such a combination might be. I conclude that another way of looking at the absurdity of life is to see it as a conflict between our dual beliefs that there exist intrinsically meaningful contingent things, and that contingent things may only gain their meaning extrinsically through their relationships to other meaningful things. In this way, I provide another lens through which feelings of life’s absurdity may be interpreted and analysed: as the conflict between the simultaneous beliefs in both intrinsically and relationally meaningful contingent things. Looking through this lens gives us an entirely different framework for analysing life’s absurdity than that which Nagel described in 1971, providing opportunity for more potential avenues of analysis and discussion.

Abstract:

The position advocated in the target article should be called “absurd environmentalism.” Literature showing that general intelligence is related to musical ability is not cited. Also ignored is the heritability of musical talent. Retrospective studies supporting practice over talent are incapable of showing differences in talent, because subjects are self-selected on talent. Reasons for the popularity of absurd environmentalism are discussed.

Abstract:

Matthew L. Reznicek, “Absurd Speculations: The Tragedy of Development in Maria Edgeworth’s Ormond” (pp. 291–314) This essay explores shared concerns regarding the representation of economic development that occurs in Maria Edgeworth’s Irish bildungsromanOrmond (1817) and in Johann Wolfang von Goethe’s two-part tragic retelling of the Faust myth (1808, 1832), building on recent interest in the representation of money in literature from the romantic period. While these two literary works are often seen as foundational texts in their respective national literatures, they both also explore the damning effects of economic and social development, especially through the medium of paper money. To this end, I examine the representation of paper money in Goethe’s Faust Part Two and of the capitalist ventures of Sir Ulick O’Shane in Ormond in order to situate more firmly Edgeworth’s writing within the broad European literary and social landscape. By focusing on the tragic representation of modernizing economics in these two works, it becomes obvious that Edgeworth, like Goethe, participates in and advances the formation of a modern world.

Abstract:

In 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre published several important articles of literary criticism on Blanchot, Camus and Bataille. In addition to propounding his own literary views, these articles functioned as a means of marking out his own version of existentialism, which risked being conflated with the Camusian absurd. Whereas Camus, according to Sartre, advocated a detached attitude in the face of the meaninglessness of existence, Sartre maintained that the subject cannot withdraw from the (historical) situation and that existence is ultimately meaningful. One author in particular, Franz Kafka, acts as the figurative ‘prism’ through which Sartre challenges rival versions of existential thinking. He does so by introducing the concept of le fantastique (the fantastic) on account of Kafka’s work. In so doing, Sartre not only rebutted the dominant interpretation, according to which Kafka was an absurd author, but also uncovered a historical critique implicit in the Prague author’s work.

Abstract:

Abstract This article explores the curious interface between Beckett’s writing and the male-orientated magazine culture of the United States. Throughout the 1960s, Beckett would be solicited for articles by Esquire (advertised as ‘The Magazine for Men’) including an unlikely invitation to cover the 1968 Democratic Convention. By 1969, a write-up of Kenneth Tynan’s Oh! Calcutta! (for which Beckett would contribute the opening skit) would feature prominently in the October issue of Playboy magazine. Despite his often-perplexed reactions, this article suggests that the appeal of Beckett to commercial men’s magazines may help to situate the author within mid-century discourses around sexual freedom and ‘hip’ masculinity.

Abstract:

O artigo apresenta os argumentos avançados por Nagel em “The absurd” (1971) para justificar a asserção de que a vida humana é absurda ou destituída de sentido, partindo inicialmente da ideia de que o absurdo envolve sempre uma discrepância entre expectativa e realidade. Ao longo do texto, identificaremos alguns conflitos no desdobramento da concepção de Nagel, como a tentativa posterior de mitigar o peso conferido à discrepância entre expectativa e realidade na eclosão do absurdo, mas que não consegue se manter coerente com as próprias bases do seu pensamento. Além disso, conforme defenderei, outros problemas internos à construção do argumento do filósofo tornam frágil a ideia do absurdo como um elemento incontornável da vida humana. Em seguida, levantaremos as críticas avançadas na literatura por Gordon e Luper-Foy, que reforçam, aprofundam e ampliam as fragilidades internas à teoria de Nagel.

Abstract:

Artykuł stanowi próbę zdefiniowania pojęć tragizmu, absurdu i paradoksu, terminów kluczowych według niemieckiego eseisty Waltera Hilsbechera. Jest to zadanie trudne i ciekawe zarazem, głównie z uwagi na fakt, że pojęcia będące przedmiotem filozofii spekulatywnej stosunkowo rzadko podlegają skrupulatnym definicjom. Przyczyną takiego stanu rzeczy jest trudność w uchwyceniu znaczenia tych terminów w sztywnych ramach. Problemy te pojawiają się również w tekście Hilsbechera pt. Tragizm, absurd, paradoks z 1972 roku. Filozofia absurdu, której metodologiczne wyodrębnienie postuluję, za centralne pojęcie obrała rzeczony absurd, również wymykający się ostrym definicjom. Niniejszy tekst stawia sobie za cel rekonstrukcję Hilsbecherowskiego słownika centralnych dla filozofii absurdu pojęć w odwołaniu do tradycji współczesnej filozofii spekulatywnej. Umiejscawiając myśl niemieckiego pisarza w kontekście innych twórców obracających się w podobnym kontekście tematycznym i stylistycznym (takich jak A. Camus, H. Bergson), zarysuję ten specyficzny nurt filozofii.

Abstract:

A focus on the absurd reveals points of tangency between political economy and humanistic geographical approaches. I argue that capitalism’s contradictions have broadened and deepened absurd phenomenal experiences, the reflexive internalization of which – in processes of reification or self-alienation – has recursive effects on the constitution of societies. The paradoxes mobilized as part of dialectical reason provide a means of taking the absurd seriously in our emotional and intellectual responses to it. These arguments are illustrated with respect to the consumption of stuff. In conclusion, I note how the absurd poses unsettling questions for human geographical theory and praxis.

Abstract:

Lost in a basement, or locked up in himself, a man contemplates the horror of his scandalous life. The more he struggles to see, the more he becomes ridiculous. His hatred grows of his inability to exist as a complete being. Anyone who sees Zeki Demirkubuz’s Yeraltı (Inside) would be struck by his antihero character Muharrem who is coupled with the absurd. This is a socially frustrated individual who seems to defend the irrational and the absurd instead of the rational and commonsensical ideas of his age. For the spectator, the question of empathy arises at this level: How is an identification in empathy with an antihero possible? This study aims to assess the possibility of identification in empathy with another self through Demirkubuz’s character Muharrem, inspired by Dostoevsky’s novel Notes from Underground, by taking the German philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey’s article The Understanding of Other Persons and Their Expressions as the reference point. Following Dilthey’s thesis, we will argue that what seems contrary to commonsense and self-contradictory can be read and understood within an existentialist framework. This framework is presented by underlining some major paradoxes in Muharrem’s way of thinking and behaving when facing the universal nothingness devoid of God.
