Abstract:

According to diverse recurrent cultural diagnoses, networked media is atrophying our affective, cognitive and somatic capacities through its distracting, rapid speeds. Echoing critiques of modernity and media technology voiced since the mid-nineteenth century, these accounts are broadly premised on loss in arguing that a general disenchantment is hollowing out our sociability and personal experiences alike. Building on Jane Bennett’s critique of the modern narrative of disenchantment, this article explores ambiguity as a means of resisting totalising accounts of the present, as well as for acc

AbstractDrawing on field research principally from contexts of medical blood donation in North India, this article describes how gifts that are given often critique—by obviation—those that remain ungiven: the care not provided by the Indian state for Bhopal survivors, the family members unwilling to donate blood for their transfusion-requiring relative, and so on. In this way, giving can come to look like a form of criticism.

Abstract:

The article critiques major debates in Canadian modernist criticism and assesses their impact on readerships in the present time of anti-elitism, resurgent nationalisms, and widening distrust of expertise. Feminist critics articulate women writers' conflictual relations to the modernist canon and have restored or introduced disregarded female poets to an academic readership. Commentators on ‘antimodernism’ defend traditional writers of the period against modernist ridicule and suggest an antimodernist nostalgia for indigenous national authenticity within modernist writing itself.

Abstract:

Is there still a role for discourse research today, some 30 years after Michel Foucault’s death? A decade ago, French actor-network theorist Bruno Latour famously declared the end of critique as ethos and practice in the social sciences. What is more, arguments made about the contingency of historical phenomena even arm “enemy” forces. Empirical work therefore should be replaced by a politics of “matters of concern.” French sociologist Luc Boltanski added to this critique of critical perspectives by suggesting that an investigation into social modes of critique should replace critical sociolog

Abstract:

While medical practice and research is subject to critique from other fields such as sociology and history of ideas, the educational area is almost exclusively critiqued from the inside. As a consequence, the critique of education usually aims at optimization within a commonly accepted normative framework rather than at a radical questioning of this normative framework as such. Based on a comparison between education and medicine, I suggest that many problems that are today framed as in need of an educational solution, may be framed otherwise or not even considered to be problems at all.

AbstractIs it possible to do ideology critique without morality? In recent years a small group of theorists has attempted to develop such an account and, in doing so, makes claim to a certain sort of “radical realism” distinguished by the ambition to ground political judgments and prescriptions in nonmoral values, principles, or concepts. This essay presents a twofold critique of this realist ideology critique (RIC) by first offering an internal critique of the approach and then arguing that the very attempt to do political theory generally—and ideology critique more specifically—in a way that

Abstract In their critique of liberal modernity, classical realists theorized its consequence for the heightened sense of insecurity and powerlessness of the individual on the one hand, and the individual's identification with extreme nationalism and violence on the other. This became the challenge posed by liberal modernity in the post-1945 international order. The article argues that the present international order is an extension of the post-1945 order that never resolved this challenge.

Abstract:

This paper presents an analytical tool designed to evaluate the degree and type of divergence between a dominant orthodox discourse and that of heterodox actors who criticize it. This method of discourse analysis consists in a breaking down and classification of its different parts. It is grounded in Boltanski’s conception of critique and in analytical sociologists’ breaking down of social reality. By summarizing these differences in simple tables, the method proposed greatly facilitates comparisons of the discourses of a great variety of actors. To show the heuristic power of this tool, I app

Starting from Franklin Leopoldo e Silva’s reflections, we will seek to recover some fragments of the Maria Antônia event to understand it in its historical density, that is, as a concrete experience marked by the experience of belonging to the present time and as a transgression of the established limits. After that, we will try to reflect on the ambiguity of this experience as an “opening up of possibilities” and “loss of the as-yet-unrealized”. This consideration will lead us to question “presentism” and the adaptation phenomenon that is inherent to it, thus proposing a critical re-elaborati

Abstract Thomas Dixon makes the important point that modern anger is nothing like the seemingly parallel phenomena (ira, mênis and so on) of the past.

He criticises my own work on anger as ahistorical because I use the singular term rather than the plurals that the subject demands. I find his critique unconvincing and his approach problematic.

Cooper's folk figures contrast the middle-class reformer's counterpart in that the former are a disappearing breed representing quaint values, thus underlining a shift towards a working-class political consciousness and the need for a new critique of industrial-era corruption.

Benjamin theorized this in relation to the general strike, which reveals “an objective contradiction in the legal situation” that is nonetheless fundamental to the problematic constitution-in-violence of the state itself. His meditation on the strike can be extended to boycott, divestment, and

Abstract:

 In Gandhi, we find a severe critic o f  modem civilization. It is interesting to note that many of the criticisms of  modernity raised by contemporary Western thinkers have already been raised by Gandhi earlier. He exposes the inconsistencies o f  modernity and its lack of  spiritual depth. It creates violence and reduces wisdom to rationality. Gandhi’s dislike towards modem civilization extended to all its aspects: modem technology, machine, western social institutions, particularly those pertaining to law and  medicine. This paper would present the Gandhi

Abstract:

AbstractPeter Bürger's critique of the historical avant garde (in Theory of the Avant Garde) accounts for its ineffectual nature as a political movement because of its relationship with institutions. He argues for hermeneutics to be employed as a critique of ideology, and as a facet of the understanding of the ‘historicity of aesthetic categories’. The influence of institutions on music since 1968 has served as a central part of its critique: the work concept itself seems to enshrine political ineffectiveness and the bourgeois nature of art practice that ought to be critiqued by an avant garde

Abstract:

Abstract In this article, the author would like to raise the attention on some structural problems at the bottom of past and present approaches within lithic studies, specifically the classificatory enterprises, thus contributing to the theoretical discussions around it. As a stepping stone towards the future resolution of these issues embedded in the current typological classification methods and in the technological approach, a proposal is made that from one side suggests uniforming and regularising the formal representation of lithic analyses in a more systematic and less erratic way and fr

Abstract:

In this paper I will deal with the solution to the problem of cognitive significance offered by the so-called new theorists of reference, as well as with the critique of that solution given by Howard Wettstein. I will claim that the answer to this critique provided by John Perry is not sufficiently convincing. First, I will clarify some relevant concepts in order to present the problem of cognitive significance in a clear manner. Then I will expose the solution to the problem offered by Perry and David Kaplan. After that, I will present Wettstein?s critique of that solution. Subsequently, I wi

Abstract:

In the present era of rapid globalization, research on transnational identities and critiques of capitalism has become focal concerns in Anglophone literary studies. Pakistani-born British writer Mohsin Hamid is especially representative due to his distinctive artistic techniques and focus on globalization themes. This paper focuses on three main topics— “the Other and identity” “migration and refugee writing” and “critique of global capital” to review the literature. By tracing the main research threads and representative viewpoints at home and abroad, one can observe that overseas scholarshi

Than, I will present main differences in approach that we can find in Marx?s Capital with repsect to the concepts that are utilised and questions that he tries to answer. In the end I will present the directions of development of the critique of political economy that

Abstract:

This article deals with the purpose of monuments, both sculptural and architectural. At issue is the assessment of the congruence between the aesthetic design and material expression, and the ethical or ideological meaning of monuments. Historical examples have been selected from the category of architectural structures and statues representing defunct ideologies. Such structures are often neglected, vandalised, destroyed, toppled, appropriated or recycled by rival groups. The discussion also focuses on two proposed monuments, both of which are intended to honour the victims of past events ins

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In this essay, the Czech avant-gardist Karel Teige's dual program of Constructivism/Poetism is interrogated in the context of his own claim that architectural historicism was degraded by the rupture into a duality of structure and ornament. This inability to escape the terms of his own critique is shown to be the result of Teige's articulation of avant-garde culture as the embodiment of the historical identity or style of the present.

Abstract:

The theory and ideology of mainstream Anglo-American “marketism” do not accord with reality. Its core idea—equating all trade with equal and mutually beneficial market exchanges, and believing that such exchanges are certain to lead to division of labor and transformative changes in labor productivity—is a one-sided, idealized construction. It erases unequal exchanges under imperialism and ignores the realities of the use of cheap informal labor in developing countries by hegemonic capital in the globalized economy. It also disregards pervasive unethical pursuits of profit among producers and
