Abstract:

Sociospatial distances fostered by recent geographies of AIDS are critiqued in this paper through cultural criticism and my own ethnographic work on AIDS politics in Vancouver, Canada. Specifically I note the tendency of medical geography and spatial science to distance themselves from gay men and their spaces, I argue this distancing is perpetrated by: (1) a focus on the virus, with gay men's bodies serving as vectors of transmission; and (2) an unobtrusive, detached rendering of the travels of the virus across space. In turn, I demonstrate how an ethnographic approach mitigates spatial science's erasure of gay men and space. Turning the critique of distance back on my own ethnographic research I then discuss the ironic benefits of distance in geographic research. I conclude that distance in itself is neither essentially concealing nor revealing, but its implications for research must be constantly considered.

Abstract:

In the last couple of decades, critique has come in for a heavy beating: Critique is based on problematic notions of depth and exposure where the critic takes up a position of critical distance that presumes mastery over the material by revealing hidden depths beneath the surface. This article traces significant episodes in the development of this anti-critical critique by embedding it in a longer historical trajectory that has to do with an initially internal Marxist self-critique that paves the way for a downright dismissal of Marxism and the critical analysis of the capitalist mode of production. The article moves backward starting with Bruno Latour and his analysis of critique’s collapse to Michel Foucault and his complicated relationship to Marx and Marxism, ending with a call for a return to an analytic position that is in shouting distance to Marxism.

Zgodnie z tytułem artykuł poświęcony jest podstawowym kategoriom krytycznym wypracowanym przez Rolanda Barthes’a w ramach francuskiej „nowej krytyki” zwanej w kręgach amerykańskich i anglosaskich french theorie. Autor artykułu włącza w swoją prezentację uwagi na temat recepcji Barthes’owskiej teorii w krakowskim środowisku naukowym w czasach, kiedy budziła ona w Polsce spore zainteresowanie. Autor kładzie jednak nacisk głównie na te kategorie, które wpłynęły na jego myślenie w pracach poświęconych przez niego dziełom Maurice’a Blanchota, Henriego Michaux czy też Georges’a Pereka.

Abstract:

This study bridges secular philosophical perspectives and Christian theological perspectives by showing how the critique of metaphysical violence is common to certain representatives of both parties. By examining specifically metaphysical, and therefore epistemologically significant, ways of critiquing violence, this study seeks to show that, just as violence cuts across the sacred-secular divide and spans the distance between abstraction and action, so too does the critique of violence.

Abstract:

La critique, c’est aussi de la théorie. Le dualisme que la pratique impose à la critique et à la théorie ne doit pas leur faire oublier leurs exigences communes de connaissance et de jugement. Dans un tel contexte d’écriture, quelles figures la critique du cinéma québécois tente-t-elle d’imprimer au territoire filmique? L’auteur cherche à bien définir une posture de critique d’imitation et d’identification. La critique et le film ne trouvent pas la distance nécessaire à leur propre symbolisation. Toutefois, la fin des années 80 laisse poindre un imaginaire nouveau du cinéma québécois obligeant lentement la critique à se repositionner.

An examination of Brookes' mathematical expression of his logarithmic 'law' yields inconsistencies and mathematical er rors. Brookes' 'tunnel' model of perception incorrectly repre sents perception of physical distance. Brookes' 'affinity' with Shannon is shown to be nonexistent. The most significant result is that Brookes' logarithmic 'law' applies to only one communication system which has properties as defined and assumed by Brookes and can not be generalized to any com munication system with properties different from the Brookes' system.

Abstract:

Given the importance of literature to various forms of social cohesion, it is not surprising that the European and US empires that have dominated the geopolitical existence of the insular Caribbean have not readily invested in literary infrastructure throughout the archipelago. The impact of empire on infrastructure for the production of Caribbean literature remains underexamined at large, however. Accounting for the political and economic dimensions of the literary power produced by empire would contribute to the denaturalization of such power, and, this essay argues, decolonize the terms of literary value. The author illuminates the centrality of literary infrastructure to Caribbean literary history through a reparative critique of Pascale Casanova’s theory of the world literary marketplace in dialogue with reflections by a contemporaneous set of highly influential authors from the francophone, hispanophone, and anglophone Caribbean: Aimé Césaire, Lino Novás Calvo, George Lamming, and V. S. Naipaul.

Abstract:

Résumé L'oeuvre critique (1933-1938) de l'abbé Albert Dandurand est peu connu. Première synthèse approfondie de l'histoire des genres littéraires au Québec (après Edmond Lareau et avant Séraphin Marion), elle est aussi la première histoire littéraire positiviste du Québec. Dandurand se donne comme tâche de parler de la littérature en elle-même, s'écartant ainsi du discours historique critique dominant de Camille Roy. Cet article veut montrer sur quoi repose l'originalité de l'approche critique de Dandurand quand il analyse les oeuvres romantiques québécoises du XIX' siècle: la visée esthétique de son discours plutôt que la visée politique; des catégories analytiques (notions d Influence et de couleur.) qui servent l'explication plutôt que les jugements de valeur; bref, une distance critique qui permet à l'historien de parler de la littérature du XIX' siècle en elle-même.

Abstract:

There seems to be an inherent tension between intoxication and critique. We tend to associate intoxication with immersion, participation, and proximity, while critique is usually connected to the distance, separation, and an outsider-perspective. In this article I want to analyze this tension, but I also want to explore the possibilities, with the German philosopher and critic Walter Benjamin as my guide, of a critical intoxication and/or intoxicated critique. What would be the social, political and aesthetic implications for such juxtaposition for both of these categories?

À son insu, ses critères d’appréciation et ses centres d’intérêt révèlent la faible distance critique d’avec le cinéma hollywoodien et les valeurs admises d’une société de consommation qui la caractérisent.

Abstract:

Abstract This article investigates the importance of critical thinking in English language teaching. It begins with an examination of the notion of praxis and its relevance for current critical literacy research and teacher education programmes. One such programme was a distance-learning course offered to English teachers from Brazilian public schools from November 2016 to November 2017. An analysis of excerpts from posts on Moodle forums and online chats from this course was made in order to ascertain whether participants acknowledge the importance of critical literacy and are able to identify any hindrances to its implementation in the classroom. This article concludes by advocating a post-critical (HOY, 2005) approach to the development of English teachers’ critical praxis, based on the concepts of self-reflexivity and ethics.

Abstract:

One of the main themes of Manfredo Tafuri's historical work, whether he was analyzing Renaissance, Enlightenment or the 20th century architecture, has been that of trying to illustrate the distance between architect's work and reality. This topic is also the premise, the introductory theoretical frame for his critical and historical discourses that are inherent to his "critique of realism": a critique that was expressed in the essay Architettura e Realismo [Architecture and Realism], published in 1985. A text that represented the conclusion of Tafuri's observation on the Italian postwar architectural culture. In this essay the Italian neorealism became the object of a rather unique historical contextualization, the object of Tafuri's deep critique and, ultimately, of his demystification.

Abstract:

Lyric studies has been new before. Many students of lyric will remember Chaviva Hošek and Patricia Parker'S 1985 COLlection of essays, Lyric Poetry beyond New Criticism, as a previous occasion for reevaluating the course of lyric studies. Hošek and Parker's ambitious volume measured the distance between New Critical and later theories of interpretation: “structuralist and post-structuralist, feminist, psychoanalytic, Marxist, semiotic, reader-response” (7). Features highlighted by then-recent theory—the difference dramatized by intertextuality, for example, or the impossibility, as opposed to transparency, of many putative forms of address in lyric—revealed what had been repressed and implied by Western academic assumptions about poetry earlier in the twentieth century; Hošek and Parker gathered an ambitious representation of such modifications of canonical lyric reading. Familiar units of Western literary vocabulary such as “apostrophe” continued to be used, but observation of their destabilizing causes and effects and reflection on their inner contradictions helped to break the illusion of the verbal icon's centripetal force. Parker notes in her introduction that the question “What would enable future work on the lyric?” remains as open as ever at the end of their project (16). So now that another twenty-two years have passed, how is lyric studies differently new, as gauged by the 2006 MLA convention's focus on lyric?

Full text

Abstract:

In this paper I focus on a particular subjectivity and a particular spatiality. The subjectivity is that of dominant Western masculinities. The spatiality is the specific organisation of space through which that subjectivity is constituted and through which it sees the world, a problematic described here as a space of self/knowledge. The importance of a particular organisation of space to this particular subjectivity is introduced through the work of Irigaray, and elaborated with reference to Mulvey's account of the Lacanian mirror stage. Both Mulvey and Irigaray emphasise the importance of a distancing, visualised space to dominant masculinities. However, Mulvey and Irigaray have both been criticised for conceptualising this dominant subjectivity and his visual space in ways which leave little possibility for feminist disruption. These criticisms have been made from a diverse range of theoretical-political positions. In this paper, however, I engage specifically with the visual space of phallocentric space/knowledge, and therefore only explore the critical possibilities offered by other, more recent feminist appropriations of Lacan because these have centred precisely on questions of visuality, spatiality, and subjectivity. In particular, interpretations of Lacan's distinction between a certain organisation of space and what Lacan calls ‘the gaze’ arc drawn upon here in order to theorise both the fragilities of dominant masculinities and the existence of other visualised spaces of self/knowledge. It is thus argued that certain psychoanalytic feminisms can offer a critical account of phallocentric self/knowledge, which is also a critical account of the production of visual spatialities.

Abstract:

Ce texte propose une réflexion sur l’oeuvre critique de Philippe Sollers — qui compte à ce jour trois tomes : La guerre du goût (1994), Éloge de l’infini (2001) et le plus récent Discours parfait (2010) — composée principalement de courts textes de critique littéraire, artistique et culturelle issus de la contribution régulière de l’auteur au journal Le Monde. L’objectif de cette réflexion est de montrer en quoi la critique sollersienne, qui se veut une véritable guerre défensive contre le mauvais goût, repose en dernière instance sur une conscience « vivante et verticale » de l’histoire, qui s’oppose à une conception linéaire du temps axé sur la succession, le dépassement et l’obsolescence. La spécificité de cette conscience du temps sera d’abord dégagée par le recours au concept d’histoire monumentale de Nietzche, ainsi qu’à l’interprétation heideggerienne de ce concept, mobilisée par Sollers dans la préface à La guerre du goût, selon laquelle « L’Histoire n’est pas une succession d’époques, mais une unique proximité du Même, qui concerne la pensée en de multiples modes imprévisibles de la destination, et avec des degrés variables d’immédiateté. » La mise en dialogue de ces deux philosophies de l’histoire conduira à la conclusion selon laquelle la « guerre du goût » menée par Sollers est en fait une guerre contre le ressentiment et le nihilisme métaphysique, considérés comme les principaux fondements de la société du Spectacle et de son mépris de la grandeur, de l’intelligence et du génie. Cette réflexion sur le temps et l’histoire servira par la suite à interroger l’oeuvre critique dans sa composition, qui, par le rapprochement d’artistes et de penseurs tels que Rimbaud, Sade, Montaigne, Joyce, Dante, Proust, Voltaire et Picasso, traduit une recherche de la « singularité universelle » de l’art par-delà la distance historique qui sépare les oeuvres. De cette conception de la critique sera dégagé l’impératif sollersien de « lire avec les yeux de l’histoire », c’est-à-dire savoir distinguer, apprécier et critiquer ce que, de l’énorme masse de signes qui se donnent pour lisibles, l’histoire elle-même révèle comme incarnation de sa propre singularité.

Abstract:

The main aim of this paper to identify, explain and advance as best practice, the principles of an alternative framework of postgraduate supervision in the context of distance education. This framework, we describe as Dynamic facilitation. Thepaper starts with a critique of the African Union Commission Plan of Action of the Second Decade for Education in Africa (2006-2015), highlighting the document’s unfortunate silence on the role of distance education in Africa’s Higher education. Wesuggest that this silence is due to African educationists’ reliance on old theories of learning and supervising dissertations whose main limitations are their narrow definition of higher education as residential university, and also the dominance ascribed to the pedagogic role of supervisors in the Behaviourist and Cognitivetheories of learning. We critique these theories for their inherent limitations and proceed to suggest that the context of distance education has its unique features and particularities that must be robustly engaged with, in the areas of learning and supervising of postgraduate dissertations. We then propose ‘dynamic facilitation’ as a type of supervision suited to distance education contexts. Our basic argument is that dynamic facilitation empowers postgraduate students because it allows for their initiative in generating new knowledge systems. We conclude by suggesting that dynamic facilitation takes into account the ‘distance-ness’ between supervisor and thesupervised; it integrates methods of assessment ranging from the main dissertation, to continual self-reflective assessment achieved through maintaining journal notes on work done and portfolio of the supervised’s experience during the process ofsupervision.Key words: Supervision, Distance Education, Post-Graduate, Critical, Dissertation, Context, Dynamic facilitation.

Résumé De récentes lectures de Hegel par d’importants philosophes américains ont insisté avant tout sur le lien entre reconnaissance et rationalité, et défini l’autonomie comme capacité à donner les raisons de ses actions. Prenant une distance critique envers ces lectures d’inspiration kantienne, l’article s’inspire de lectures allemandes de Hegel, culminant dans l’éthique de la reconnaissance d’Axel Honneth, qui insistent davantage sur la dimension génétique de la reconnaissance. Un tel changement de perspective permet de prendre la reconnaissance en un sens plus roboratif et d’affiner son potentiel critique, notamment d’identifier de manière plus précise les obstacles sociaux et culturels à la réalisation de l’autonomie.

Abraham Heschel’s last book includes a critique of Martin Buber, suggesting that Buber insists that God conform to his understanding of what constitutes justice in human history. This article explores whether Heschel’s judgment is justifiable, and whether there is really so much distance between these two prominent modern Jewish philosophers on the topic of theodicy. The conclusion is that Heschel’s critique was both correct and incorrect. At the end of their lives, the Holocaust brought both Jewish philosophers to revolutionary, that is to say, unanticipated and unwanted, insights in their struggle with that Tremendum, which is the Holocaust.

Abstract:

This paper deals with an analysis of Jean Luc Marion's The Idole and Distance in light of his criticism of Nietzsche and Heidegger. Two unpleasant remarks of [should this be »by« or »about«] Marion are critically confronted and discussed from the point of view of his idea of the distance and idolatry. We argue for a different genealogy of the fatherly distance, one that is more attuned to the original Nietzschean thought and sensitive to the idea of the child. On the other hand, from Marion's criticism of »elemental« ontology of Being in Heidegger we try to argue for another possibility of onto(theo)logy in light of the proximity of the elements and God-Being within the Heideggerian ontological field of Fourfold and Ereignis. In our elaborations, we also invoke contemporary Mormon philosophical theology as an example of a post-Christian thought, being able to address some of the key questions that were haunting Marion in his criticism of both philosophers. From the Fatherly distance in Marion and his charges of idolatry towards various thinkers we thus aim to arrive to the newly coneptualized material and elemental onto(theo)logy of God-Being.

Mild constraints on the signs of the parameters in a full-information model reduce to insignificance the apparent causal influence of issue proximities on partisanship. Furthermore, alternative specifications of the issues/PID relationship yield no evidence that citizens update their partisanship based on their ideological distance from the parties.

Abstract It is generally agreed that Galician crime fiction began in 1984, when Carlos G. Reigosa’s Crime en Compostela was published. Since then, different authors have explored the genre with varying success. One of the best-known writers of Galician crime fiction is Diego Ameixeiras, who published eleven novels between 2004 (Baixo mínimos) and 2018 (A crueldade de abril). This paper will focus on Ameixeiras’s works, in particular Baixo mínimos and A noite enriba (2015). The distance between their dates of publication will allow us to highlight through their differences in structure and style the clear evolution in Ameixeiras’s narrative production from parody to social critique.

Abstract:

Dr John Moore's four-volume account of his Grand Tour in the company of the Duke of Hamilton was one of the most successful European travel books of the late eighteenth century. Moore's text, I argue, is a philosophical travel narrative, an examination of manners, customs and characters, analogous to the philosophical histories of the Scottish Enlightenment. Intended as a critique of the superficial observations of much travel literature, it argues for a greater degree of closeness between the traveler and the native, one based on sympathetic conversation rather than observation, but accompanied by a more distanced analysis, based on conjectural history, of the hidden processes that explain manners and character. Difference should be understood through a combination of sympathy and analysis that makes travel and its accounting valuable.

Full text

Abstract:

In two recent papers in this journal a leading proponent of panbiogeography, Michael Heads, has continued his critique of long-distance dispersal and molecular clocks, and promotion of alternative geological and evolutionary ideas. An axiomatic rejection of long-distance dispersal, on the grounds that it has no explanatory power, informs these critiques. However, fundamental issues with panbiogeographic theory remain unaddressed. In particular, insurmountable problems for most biologists are created by the requirement for a widespread, often ancient ancestor from which vicariant taxa arose through orthogenesis, and rejection of a role for natural selection or environmental change in species formation. Heads also discusses events in New Zealand in the late 1980s and early 1990s and claims the reaction of the scientific establishment to panbiogeography resulted in two panbiogeographers losing tenured positions, and excluded, silenced or drove the rest into exile. This is a dramatic but misleading interpretation of what happened. The losses of positions were unconnected to science issues. That it is difficult to get panbiogeographic work funded or published in New Zealand is undoubtedly true, but this fate is shared by any work that seeks to overturn established evolutionary theory but provides no convincing evidence for doing so.

Le postulat de base est que les conditions matérielles objectives engendrées par le patriarcat et le mode de production capitaliste déterminent la façon dont les hommes et les femmes, selon leur classe sociale, pensent et agissent. À travers le récit critique de son cheminement de formation, l’auteur expose comment divers modèles de thérapie familiale (Epstein, Minuchin, Satir) et d’intervention de réseau lui ont permis d’élaborer de façon critique son propre modèle d’approche structurelle.

Abstract:

Cet article propose d’analyser les reconfigurations du militantisme au prisme du numérique, par une analyse « au microscope » de trajectoires individuelles, afin de saisir finement la réalité des pratiques militantes derrière les discours d’institution, les injonctions partisanes et les perceptions mythifiées. Notre enquête se centre ainsi sur les récits de vie de deux (ex-)adhérents du Parti socialiste dans un contexte localisé – la Fédération de Gironde – pour retranscrire de façon processuelle et à long terme les motifs de dés/engagement mis en avant. Nous verrons que militer en ligne peut être considéré à la fois comme une forme de reconversion, une réponse à un « moment critique » dans la trajectoire des adhérents et une occasion de faire carrière en politique. En somme, il s’agit de militer à bonne distance du parti, que ce soit pour s’y fondre ou s’en éloigner.

Abstract:

How did Mariama Bâ‘s 1979 novel Une si longue lettre (So Long a Letter) become one of the most widely read, taught, and translated African texts of the twentieth century? This essay traces how the Senegalese author's work became recognizable to a global audience as an attack on polygamy and a celebration of literary culture. I explore the flaws in these two conceptions of the novel, and I recover aspects of the text that were obscured along the way—especially the novel's critique of efforts to reform the legal framework of marriage in Senegal. I also compare striking shifts that occur in two key translations: the English edition that helped catalyze Bâ‘s success and a more recent translation into Wolof, the most widely spoken language in Senegal. By reading Letter back through these translations, I reposition it as a text that highlights its distance from an audience and transforms this distance into an animating contradiction.

Abstract:

In this article Patrick Patterson offers new perspectives on the critique of Balkanist discourse elaborated recently by Maria Todorova and others. Examining Slovenian, Austrian, and Italian commentary on contemporary southeastern Europe, Patterson concludes that Slovenia's “western” neighbors did not wholeheartedly embrace the campaign by some influential Slovenes to distance their society from other, purportedly “Balkan,” Yugoslavs. Although Balkanism marked the discourse of all three countries, Italian and Austrian opinion often rejected important implications of the Slovenes' exceptionalist rhetoric. Ultimately, the internal dynamics of Austrian and Italian identity and political culture trumped the Balkan - ist logic behind Slovenes' claims to a uniquely “central European” character. Moreover, even in Slovenian sources, Balkanist rhetoric proved less dominant and consistent than the prevailing critique admits. Accordingly, that critique, which treats Balkanism as a rigid, uniform, pervasive, and virtually inescapable “power discourse” of hegemony, should be revised to account for forces that may limit or subvert its power.

Abstract:

This article sketches Slayer’s phenomenology in close connection with Hegel’s philosophy. It argues that, while the conceptual and teleological distance between the two parts is definitively a very large one, there are also important and rather unusual points of convergence on several topics, religion and war being the most prominent of them. Taking into account other seminal themes existent both in Slayer’s lyrics and, to a certain extent, in Hegel’s philosophy – like evil, criminality, scepticism and nihilism, besides the already mentioned religion and war, the article tries to introduce possible common grounds between these two radically different continents, arguing that Hegel’s dialectical method can be successfully extended also to apparently ‘exotic’ themes, as Slayer’s phenomenology, among many others.

Abstract:

This article argues that the evidence presented in several critiques of Azar, Schmalz, and Tecu’s (AST) “airlines” paper does often not back the conclusion these studies draw. Specifically, widely circulated studies claiming that there are no anticompetitive effects of common ownership or that there is no evidence of it either do not attempt to refute AST’s findings of anticompetitive effects in the U.S. airlines industry or in fact confirm the evidence by AST and even dispel valid concerns about AST’s methodology. Focusing on Kennedy, O’Brien, Song, and Waehrer (KOSW), we note that their panel regressions using market-share-free indices of common ownership concentration confirm the positive correlation between common ownership concentration and price, which AST showed with a measure containing potentially endogenous market shares. We then examine the alternative empirical methods KOSW propose: (i) Their conclusion that estimates from a structural model show no evidence of anticompetitive effects is based on an estimation that discards 90% of the available data and therefore, at best, is only valid for that subsample; (ii) their structural model makes no economic sense because it produces a negative effect of route distance on marginal cost; and (iii) they construct an alternative version of the widely used BlackRock- Barclays Global Investors instrument that is arguably invalid. Even absent these methodological concerns, KOSW’s structural estimates are so noisy that they do not in fact reject the hypothesis that common ownership concentration has a positive effect on prices. A more recent structural paper by Park and Seo has shown these concerns to be well-founded: using a different and larger subsample of AST’s data and more standard estimation methods compared to KOSW, they estimate a positive effect of common ownership on prices, as well as a positive effect of route distance on cost. A lesson for future research—and readers of the literature—is to critically evaluate the conclusions drawn by studies in this field, including those that advertise themselves as providing evidence against the existence of anticompetitive effects of common ownership.

Abstract:

Silverstone’s ‘proper distance’ is one of the most original and productive conceptualizations of a fundamental problem in the ethics of mediation: the humanization of vulnerable others. This is because ‘proper distance’ is not only a normative but also, importantly, an analytical concept. Whereas in its normative dimension, proper distance refers to the degree of proximity required for mediated relationships of care and responsibility to develop, in its analytical dimension, the metaphorical vocabulary of space becomes an important resource in evaluating how mediation produces ‘humanity’ through the positioning of mediated others along the axis of proximity— distance. My application of this analytical vocabulary to the mediation of humanitarianism enables me to create a typology of paradigms of solidarity, namely ‘pity’, ‘irony’ and ‘agonism’, highlighting the different ways in which their particular articulations of proximity—distance produce distinct conceptions of ‘humanity’ and, therefore, distinct proposals for solidarity towards vulnerable others. Focusing, specifically, on the critique of an emerging paradigm of solidarity as irony, I argue that, even though it appears as a promising response to pity and its misleading spatiality of universal proximity, irony celebrates consumerism as a reflexive distance-from-the self and is, therefore, unable to put forward a morally acceptable proposal of solidarity.

Abstract:

Recently, Judith Butler refused to accept an award for civil courage at the Berlin Christopher Street Day, because she felt the event had become too commercial, and the event's organization had failed to distance itself from certain discriminatory statements. This, as well as many of her works, suggests that more than any other contemporary feminist author, Butler is aware of the risk of implication in exclusionary politics; a risk she might therefore successfully avoid. However, in this essay I argue that to the extent her theory of performativity has become a hegemonic framework within the field of gender studies, it leads to the foreclosure of certain possible gendered identities. Using Nancy's notion of finite thinking, I argue that a different approach to universality may lead to a less exclusionary way of conceptualizing gender.

Abstract:

This article contributes to the continuing scholarly discourse on risk and risk management within the context of higher education institutions by reporting on a qualitative assessment of the appropriateness of the risk management framework of a selected open distance learning institution. The assessment is based on a single instrumental case study of an open distance learning institution. The assessment was undertaken by conducting a qualitative content analysis of the institution’s enterprise risk management framework document. For the purpose of this analysis, two reading strategies were followed, namely the reproductive (literal) and hermeneutic reading strategies. This article’s unique contribution to the scholarly discourse is to apply a conceptual framework derived from the work by Tufano (2011) providing trustworthy evidence that the critique by Leitch’s (2010) on the ISO 31000:2009 standard does not necessarily have an empirical sound foundation. The research has indicated that an enterprise risk management framework meeting the ISO 31000:2009 standard, is not only appropriate for a risk imbedded open distance higher education institution such as the selected institution, but has the potential to contribute significantly to the enhancement of the institution’s mission, strategic goals and objectives within an astringent national regulatory and funding context and an ever-changing international higher education landscape.

Returning to Stephen Kotkin'sMagnetic Mountain: Stalinism as a Civilizationalmost two decades after its publication allows us to take stock, from a slight temporal distance, of the reception in our discipline of the work of Michel Foucault.Magnetic Mountainis the one of the books that came out of a project that Kotkin and a number of other students began under Foucault's direction at the University of California, Berkeley in 1983 (p. xviii). Foucault's work in California occurred during a particular turn in his political thinking, a moment when he experimented with liberal alternatives to the left theories of the first decades of his career. Kotkin's book is not simply an application of a general Foucauldianism, but rather of a specific California Foucault.

Abstract:

Much contemporary ethnography hopes to engage with a community to justify social critique. Whether from problem selection, interpersonal rewards, or a desire for exchange, researchers often take the “side” of informants. Such an approach, linked to “public ethnography,” marginalizes a once-traditional approach to fieldwork, that of the ethnographic stranger. I present a model of scholarly detachment and questioning of group interests. Drawing on my own experiences and those of members of the Second Chicago School, I argue for an approach in which an unaffiliated observer questions community interests, arguing that skepticism of local explanations can discover processes shared by other scenes and can develop transsituational concepts. While the ethnographer can be seduced into sharing a group’s perspective, observational distancing can mitigate this. In an approach I label skeptical ethnography, the ethnographic stranger avoids partisan allegiance in the field and at the desk. Skepticism of local interests must be combined with an epistemic generosity that recognizes that all action, whether seemingly righteous or repellent, responds to an interaction order.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis paper is concerned with East Africans’ perceptions of the intersection between their own, highly charged and contested, local histories, and the global past, as well as their place in it. The two case studies on which the paper is based – Eritrea and Uganda – have much in common in terms of recent history, not least in their experience of prolonged violence, and thus taken together they elucidate distinctive characteristics. Yet they also illustrate broader phenomena. On one level, particular interpretations of local history – both the deeper, precolonial past and the more recent, twentieth-century past – are utilised to critique the flow of global history, as well as the impositions of globalisation, and to emphasise the bitter experience of marginality and lack of agency. At the same time, the global past – conceptualised as the evolution of an intrusive, imperialist, hypocritical global order imposed by foreigners, usually Western in provenance – is seen as omnipresent and pervasive, and thus the arguments made around marginality serve to remind us, paradoxically, how central these communities are (or should be) to the framing of global history.

Abstract:

Since the emergence of exhibition practices in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there has been a progressive normalization of the material conditions for observing paintings, such as their placement and the spectator’s distance to them. Just like painters and Salon visitors, art critics needed to move closer to their object of inquiry in order to gain better knowledge of it, but paradoxically, they could not claim objectivity without stepping back. The ideal distance that would allow viewers to simultaneously grasp the whole and the details was a contentious topic of discussion for nineteenth-century artists, critics, and scientists. Among the different ways in which this question was formulated in art criticism, one in particular reveals the presuppositions of the time about proximity: the constant reference to the smell of the painting. Associated with proximity, smell metaphorizes the pleasure or trouble spectators feel when they get close to paintings, to their pictorial materiality, or even to the figures depicted. Because smell always functions as a sign of the substance from which it emanates, art critics’ reference to it allowed them to consider the problem of proximity within the social and aesthetic issues of their time.
