Full textAbstract:
In modern linguistics binary distinctions are fundamental and many social and cultural phenomena are based on binary oppositions. Even many stereotypes of culture get formulated on the basis of binary oppositions: If you are not with me you are against me (Hawthorn 29) is a cultural imposition of a binary opposition upon variations of attitude. Looking down upon the natives of the Subcontinent as a people, devoid of civilization, colonial authors produced the stereotypes of attitude which remained unchanged, fortified by prejudices and cultural biases. Reading of colonial texts which are based on Indian setting, reveals these stereotypes. Rudyard Kiplings Kim and E. M. Forsters A Passage to India pictured colonial India from European perspective, degrading it to the level of a land of mystery, muddle, inactivity and lethargy. Both the texts depicted India as a binary opposition of Europe, formulated with cultural biases and prejudices emerging out of the boastfulness of the colonizers as the light givers of civilization to the rest of the globe. But it is true that every reading is a re-creation of the identity of the author and this axiom has inspired this paper to explore the basis of binary oppositions of the colonial attitude of Rudyard Kipling and E. M. Forster. This paper is also inspired by the perception that literary and cultural phenomena are based upon binary oppositions and in the days of postcolonial theory binary oppositions have become fundamental to many recent literary works. Keeping this in mind, this paper seeks to explore Kiplings Kim and E. M. Forsters A Passage to India in colonial perspective and present binary distinctions of their attitude towards India. Both the authors have chosen India as setting of their above mentioned novels and their observation of the East and the West produced binary distinctions between Europe and the Subcontinent. This paper has made a deconstructionist analysis of these stereotypes. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sje.v7i0.14469 Stamford Journal of English; Volume 7; Page 129-144

Full textAbstract:
This article introduces the scientific definitions and statements regarding the binary oppositions in mythological and folk texts with important conclusions being overviewed. It will be noted that binary opposition is used as a universal tool for determining the truth in science. The main depictions of archetypal thinking noticeable in myth texts will be analyzed. Persistent binary oppositions that shape a mythic image of a universe will be systemized, and semantic analysis of their significance in the text structure will be conducted. The role of binary oppositions in mythology, which emerged from mythic thinking while still being opportune, will be described, addressing its value in an expression of national worldview and a clarification of the universe's figure in cultural knowledge. The article will discuss a high degree of relevance of perception of the universe through a binary opposition for humanity today, who has a similar structure of mind. The fact that binary opposition is a general instrument for the recognition of truth will be supported by numerous pieces of evidence. Attention will be paid to the value of unity of conflicting powers and meanings in nature. The article will suggest a comprehensive analysis, based on the theoretical works, of the way myths hold a main function of understanding the world by overcoming the сontradictions in the universe. Myth served as a guidance for people in ancient times to discover the world, a secret of an environment, and to save an inner balance. Therefore, myth’s tendency to occupy a special place in the mind of humanity and become a fundamental root for the artworks will be examined. The Article demonstrates how the binary system in literary studies reveals the contradiction’s method of operation in myth texts, and it establishes the actant (active) activity that emerges from it.

Aim. To examine the contextual environment of the eye lexeme in M. Yu. Lermontov’s novel “The Hero of Our Time”.Methodology. The eye lexeme is presented as a text-forming one in the artistic space when creating a psychological portrait of the characters. The methods of identifying binary oppositions, as well as syntactic series in the aspect of the theory of oppositions, are significant.Results. A corpus of contexts with an eye linguistic unit (103 contexts) has been identified, syntagmatic, paradigmatic connections, and contextual partners have been established. The fundamental binary opposition shine – lack of shine is revealed, based on which additional antonymic pairs are determined.Research implications. The linguistic analysis showed that in order to fully identify the semantic structure and stylistic shades of one lexeme in a literary text, it is necessary to consider the entire corpus of contextual partners. The practical significance is determined by the possibility of using materials in teaching the stylistics of the Russian language, the language of fiction.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes four Japanese folk tales (myths) using the unconscious structures approach pioneered by Lévi-Strauss to uncover the connections between these myths and the unconscious structures of the society that holds them. The first step is to find the outer structures of the four analyzed myths and analyze them both synchronically and diachronically to find their component mythemes. The second step is to analyze and identify the inner structures of these mythemes. These inner structures can then be refined into a series of binary oppositions. Subsequently, the structures of these myths are connected to ethnographic data of the Japanese people, thus producing transformations which indicate the unconscious structures under investigatie. This analysis shows there are oppositional logics centered around the concept of duty, a fundamental part of Japanese morality – opposition between “willingness” and “reluctance” as well as between “gimu”and “giri”. These oppositional logics are the unconscious structures of their reason for duty, rooted in the concept of “obeisance”.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of a particular aspect of the phenomenon of linguistic antonymy – its irreversibility in the processes of communication, the impossibility of its replacement by other means of linguistic expression in certain types of speech contexts. The article substantiates the point of view about the deep essential rootedness of antonymy in extralinguistic reality, as well as its priority status in the systematics of linguistic phenomena, which is explained by the fundamental constructive significance of the principle of binary-oppositional structuring in the ontology of the physical world, consciousness and linguistic activity. The picture of the world provides many examples of binary archetypes functioning as a generative model of complexly organized systems. Mythology, which is the first human experience of artistic and ideological reflection on reality, is built on a system of the simplest archetypal oppositions, such as "friend or foe", "light-darkness", "good-evil", "chaos-order", "center-periphery", etc. In the history of intellectual culture, the principle of binary oppositions acts as the most important factor in the implementation and representation of the activity of consciousness, human thinking, and cultural experience. In language, semantic opposition manifests itself as an experience of naturally formed systematization in the sphere of semantic relations, which precedes scientific analysis. In the processes of communication, antonymy acts as a unique resource of linguistic representation, which is in a relationship of interdependent functional correlation with certain types of contexts and object-reference situations. In works of literature, the discursive correlate of linguistic antonymy is artistic contrast, which is realized primarily and most vividly in the classical models of antithesis and oxymoron. Rich illustrative material of this kind is provided to the researcher by the novel by Lion Feuchtwanger "Exile" analyzed in the article.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the research of humanitarian specifics of architectural form and architectural objects, three aspects are defined, from the position of which the CM system is adjusted the concept of the architectural object as megaobject (interconnected system of object and the physical environment) and how metaobject (conditioning facility, cultural space). The first aspect - the role of the binary opposition, meaning that in the architectural form of the object and system identification, or in a non-obvious, presented meanings that oppose each other, but do not displace each other. The second aspect - the presence of external environment (URBO landscape and cultural space). The presence of the environment, the environment has a formal aesthetic and ethical justification. As a result, the environment may become a challenge no less important than the object. The third aspect - the fundamental metavalue of architectural object, the method adopted in the composite as a basis. It relates to the interaction between the city and the house - two metavaluesi, covering almost all the layers and subsystems which appear in the process of interaction between the author and architectural form. This fundamental aspect is defined in the article as a universal binary formula House-City. The binary formula House- City determines the methodological structure and content of the genesis of the CM process carried out in phases as a gradual transition from the experience of abstract form to the project.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the aspect of gender politics and women’s self-identity through the comparative study of Fahmida Riaz’ collection of Poems Four Walls and a Black Veil and Adrienne Rich’s selected poems. Jacques Derrida’s concept of Binary Oppositions in deconstruction theory is the basic framework to conduct the study under feminist perspective. Since the construction of female gender, issues of women identity and their relevance with opposite male gender have raised many questions. The works of these Eastern and Western poets respectively encounter the universal truth of their subjugation as dependent creature in political and social dogmas where females have been assigned fixed gender roles of motherhood, sexuality and partisanship in undesirable pursuit. This classification of the binary assertions can be challenged and re investigated through various contextual lenses. The problem of gender politics and self-identity has been examined under the feminist perspective against structural binary of male/female as the fundamental viewpoint This research raises questions ;how Fahmida Riaz and Adrienne Rich dismantle their dogmatic beliefs, which tools they practice to reject fixed binary oppositions (bisexuality) and rethink feminism, and how concept of transcendence is deconstructed in Eastern and Western literature through social, cultural and political shifts. This research finds out the real practice of gender politics and women identity in both contexts with dissimilar and also a homogeneous approach of the writers in certain aspects. Keywords: Gender Politics, Self-identity, Binary Oppositions, Feminism, Social Dogma.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the study is determined by the need to study the conceptual opposition “familiar – alien” in the English worldview, which is a fundamental category of culture and mentality. The purpose of the study is to identify the peculiarities of the functioning of this opposition in different genres of the English language, as well as to establish its role in the formation of cultural identities and linguistic consciousness. The article deals with the description of the traditional binary opposition “familiar – alien”, which is one of the fundamental binary oppositions of human culture in general. The opposition “familiar – alien” is presented as the one that forms the basis of all human cultures and exists at the present time. Such philosophical categories as “familiar”, “alien”, “other” are considered from the point of view of their acceptance / rejection by another society, a society of another culture and mentality. The author’s provability is based on the contrast of the chosen methodology of linguistic analysis and the already formed tradition in the social and communicative scientific paradigm. It allows realizing a comprehensive, syncretic investigation of the functional, context-oriented nature of the review. Linguistic analysis is based on the manifestation of opposition in the texts of various genres of the English language (journalism, urban nomination, official business speech) and media resources, interpreted using stylistic and functional pragmatic methodology. The complex interaction and mutual transitions of various language units within the opposition are traced. It is shown that the category “familiar – alien” permeates all the semantic spheres of a particular culture, revealing spatial, temporal, socio-cultural and other vital human and natural principles. This helps to indicate constant evolution of the review model: architectonics, the system of linguistic units and the most the main thing is functions. It seems that the opposition “familiar – alien” can be viewed not only from the point of view of antagonistic opposition of national, cultural, political and social realities, but also more mildly – from the standpoint of understanding by “familiar” and “alien” addressee.

Komaromi, Ann. "The Unofficial Field of Late Soviet Culture." Slavic Review 66, no. 4 (2007): 605–29. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/20060375.
Full textAbstract:
This article proposes a new interdisciplinary model for investigating unofficial culture and dissident social activity in the post-Stalin period. Although binary oppositions like art versus politics and unofficial versus official are recognized today to be ideologically implicated and critically outmoded, Ann Komaromi argues that they have a certain usefulness when reconceived as structural components of an autonomous unofficial field. This critical model is developed with polemical reference to Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the field of culture. The late Soviet opposition between art and politics is explored through Andrei Siniavskii's struggle with editors over the 1965 edition of Boris Pasternak's poetry and via the organization of the famous 5 December 1965 “Meeting of Openness” coordinated by Aleksandr Esenin-Vol'pin. The critical model proposed emphasizes the material history of conceptions of autonomy fundamental to the field, profiling dynamic binaries and permeable boundaries as sites of critical interest.

Full textAbstract:
<strong>Purpose. </strong>This paper aims to study the ontological status of a trickster character in “Panchatantra” and its receptions. <strong>Methodology. </strong>The author has used analytical methodology of C. Levi-Strauss, C. Jung’s theory of archetypes, and hermeneutical methodology. <strong>Theoretical basis and results.</strong> Perception of the world in the form of a narrative is inherent in the very specifics of the human thinking. Among the most famous literary narratives that structured cultural experience of different nations are the framed story “Panchatantra” and its receptions “Kalilah and Dimnah” and “Stefanit and Ihnilat”. The framework of the analyzed text is the story about two jackals Karataka and Damanaka, Lion, and Bull. “Panchatantra” is deeply rooted in the animal epos, which is based on the totemic myth. Myths were created by primitive thinking that sought to systematize the world, to give it order through binary oppositions. Their hard core is “Life – Death” opposition. A myth deals with oppositions and seeks to neutralize them. Thus, a myth serves as the logical tool to overcome the fundamental contradictions. This is carried out by introducing a mediator. Two poles, two extreme points are unambiguous; ambiguity “occurs” at an intermediate stage only. Shift from one point to another is impossible directly – for this we need a mediator. In the given narrative the binary opposition “Life – Death” is replaced by its metaphor – Bull and Lion, herbivore (metaphor for life) and carnivore (metaphor for death). These oppositions are mediated by Jackal (Karataka&Damanaka) that feeds on carrion and has a dual nature. A mediator, which overcomes or at least mitigates the binary opposition, is seen as a compromise between herbivores and carnivores that embody the antinomy of life and death. This mediator is a trickster – bipolar character (good and evil at the same time). A trickster freely acts in unordered world of Chaos without Life – Death limitations. <strong>Scientific novelty. </strong>The breaking of cyclical time of the myth and deploying it into linear time gave rise to characters-doubles: the only one mythological image disintegrated and turned into different actors. A phenomenon of events became the basis of narrative storytelling. “Panchatantra”, “Kalilah and Dimnah”, “Stefanit and Ihnilat” have a dialogical form, which can be seen as a dialogue within one personality, i.e. at a certain stage one single mediator is splitting, and we get two characters – Karataka and Damanaka, Kalilah and Dimnah, Stefanit and Ihnilat. They represent opposing views and wisely defend their positions. This dialogue-dispute has neither beginning nor end. Karataka and Damanaka are the bifurcation of one single synthetic character – the manifestation of bipolar worldview that combines the opposing principles of life. <strong>Conclusion. </strong>The true nature of a trickster opposes any restrictions: it is open to everything. A trickster is free to move from one pole to another, he constructs reality and plays with it metaphorically overcoming the antinomy of life and death.

Full textAbstract:
Observing that the division between theory and empiricism remains inextricably linked to imperial modernity, manifest at the most basic level in the binary between "the West" and "Asia," the authors of this volume reexamine art and aesthetics to challenge these oppositions in order to reconceptualize politics and knowledge production in East Asia. Current understandings of fundamental ideas like race, nation, colonizer and the colonized, and the concept of Asia in the region are seeped with imperial aesthetics that originated from competing imperialisms operating in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Such aesthetics has sustained both colonial and local modes of perception in the formation of nation-states and expanded the reach of regulatory powers in East Asia since 1945. The twelve thought-provoking essays in thiscollectiontackle the problematics that arise at the nexus of aesthetics and politics in four areas: theoretical issues of aesthetics and politics in East Asia, aesthetics of affect and sexuality, the productive tension between critical aesthetics and political movements, and aesthetic critiques of sovereignty and neoliberalism in East Asia today. If the seemingly universal operation of capital and militarism in East Asia requires locally specific definitions of biopolitical concepts to function smoothly, this book critiques the circuit of power between the universalism of capital and particularism of nation and culture. Treating aesthetic experiences in art at large as the bases for going beyond imperial categories, the contributors present new modes of sensing, thinking, and living that have been unimaginable within the mainstream modality of Asian studies, a discipline that has reproduced the colonial regime of knowledge production.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter starts from the observation that in the Roman Catholic Church the liturgy has been quite a battlefield over the last decades. Many different opinions about it have been uttered, often loaded with affections and attachments to certain ritual forms and shapes. In addition, the liturgy has often been approached from various ideological angles, each one promoting the enhancement of the liturgical life of the faithful and the Church. Ironically, however, very few of these ideologies and opinions have done well to the liturgy itself, or even seriously listened to it. The fundamental reason for that is probably that, whereas ideological schemas tend to function on the basis of binary oppositions, the liturgy cannot be captured by any such dichotomy. Liturgy even invites to undermine binary thinking and reaches out to overcome the blind-sidedness and narrowmindedness that comes along with such schemas. Concretely, four such conceptual oppositions are discussed in this chapter: sacred and profane, liberal and conservative, hierarchical and democratic, and active and contemplative. The goal of disentangling the complexity of being caught in these oppositions is to demonstrate that liturgy does not fall prey to them but instead helps getting beyond them. Moreover, it is shown that liturgy has a unique theological potential not only to further but also to incorporate inclusion and diversity in the Church.

Full textAbstract:
In Dostoevsky’s binary poetics, an opposition can be drawn between two fundamental stances – asceticism and incontinence. Ascetics adhere to an ethos of self-restraint in response to the desires of the flesh. Incontinents act spontaneously to gratify their desires. The current study draws an analogy between the behavior pattern of Dostoevsky’s self-denying intellectual heroes and that of exiled castrate (skoptsy) communities. Dostoevsky’s ascetics represent a cerebral mindset attracted to visions of social utopia; their intellectualizing detaches them from the life of the body and thus weirdly parallels the strictures of the skoptsy. An encounter between an ascetic and a prostitute serves as a central plot moment in works such as Crime and Punishment and Notes from Underground.

Full textAbstract:
Claude Lévi-Strauss’s theory of binary opposition considers oppositional categories as a fundamental effect of human cognition. Humans, Lévi-Strauss argues, structure the world and their existence in it by way of symbolic oppositions that are represented and negotiated analogically. Nineteenth-century writing about nonhuman nature has been commonly regarded as a male-dominated field focusing on encounters with nature as a feminized other that resides in contraposition to man and manmade settings. This essay seeks to theorize the inconsistencies represented in feminized nature, to lay bare the ways in which scholarly interpretations of nature writing are traditionally structured around binary boundaries, and to reassess the conceptual framework of feminist geography, which has historically employed a dichotomous structure to expose traditional representations of gender. Susan Fenimore Cooper’s Rural Hours and Celia Thaxter’s Among the Isles of Shoals each illustrate an awareness of the transcorporeality of human bodies and ecological spaces as enmeshed in a complex, shifting ontology. Both writers attempt to reconstruct an inclusive “non-gendered” ecology that transforms the binary landscapes of “village-woods” and “island-garden” into non-hierarchical vistas that de-enforce the subservience of nature, making these spaces compatible, harmonious, and synergistic.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter elucidates Derrida's utilization of psychoanalytic discourse throughout the Death Penalty Seminars. The chapter argues that Derrida's formulation of sovereign power is derived chiefly from Freud's Ur-Father. To this extent, sovereignty not only exceeds but actually precedes the onto-theological. While Derrida continually works to dismantle binary oppositions--between god and man and human and animal, for instance--sovereign power precedes these very oppositions. The chapter argues that sovereignty operates largely by creating the illusion of decision two absolutely and fundamentally opposed possibilities.

Full textAbstract:
Textbook theory of second language learning being the object under consideration, its coherence with the concepts of theory as a wide-ranging idea and language learning theory is established. Textbook theory is regarded as an indispensable part of language study implementing its fundamental principles. A conceptual hierarchical structure of three-level complexity corresponding to general research theory, theory of second language assimilation, and textbook theory is developed in order to provide congruence between the grades of the ranking model, which presumes the identification of significant uniform characteristics common to each (and any) type of theory. For the entire system to be modeled in holistic terms, there has been advanced a binary conception of theory construction. The binary opposition is a systematically organized functional formation with a large constructive and explanatory potential that allows us to use it for a complete description of the structure of a theory including its idealized object.

Full textAbstract:
Textbook theory seems to be at the farthest level from the most abstract categories, and it is repeatedly associated with in the current study. The connection of the principal fundamental categories of invariance and binarism are not even superficially traced to the traditional textbook theory inventory. The numerous conceptions of predication predominantly deal with its logical frames. The aim of the chapter is to explicate some hidden links between the levels of the conceptual vertical. The idea of invariance is embodied by the continuous iteration of binary predicative units originally incompressible in terms of their constituents and structure. Binary opposition is the category indissolubly active at every stage of speech generation. There have been found four functional patterns produced by a particular predicative operation. Each pattern correlates with all types of speech but to various extents, accenting some of them. They are parallel transfer, inverse transformation, convergent or divergent pivot structuring, and zooming.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter moves from the second to third part of the book and from the biopolitical model to the bio-juridical one. The fundamental problem with the two paradigms outlined up to this point is that they set up a binary opposition between those thinkers that affirm the relationship between sovereign violence and the juridical order and those that affirm its relationship to life. The chapter focuses on Jacques Derrida’s analysis of the sovereign violence inherent in the death penalty to show that he claims that sovereign violence is not simply orientated to juridical legal order or the regulation of life through the creation of social norms, but simultaneously expresses itself through two faces—the juridical and biopolitical, or law and life—wherein the one demands and expresses the other: the juridical expression of sovereignty regulates life, whereas the sovereign’s regulation of life (and death) always takes a juridical form.

Full textAbstract:
SLA is a broad multilateral realm of theoretical and applied projections. The discipline being topical for the world community, its coterminous issues are rather summarily thrown together, but actually spread out or split up of the field originally meant as a more concentrated and closely-knit nucleus. The research mainstream branches out into numerous aspects of language acquisition, most of which are ‘cross-sectional'. The heterology of research approaches hinders the progress towards the development of a well-balanced unified SLA theory relying on the basics inherent in science at large. A theory like that is aimed at the elimination of any ambiguity and confusion, so that anyone could similarly interpret it. Although the idea sounds like a utopian goal so far, a number of steps could be taken for SLA integrity to get closer and ultimately to transpire. A holistic theoretical model of SLA requires that its modules be represented on the basis of the same property, or radix. In the model developed, the radix is identified as a minimal predicative unit being formed. The unit takes shape in the process of predication, which can be referred to as the act of joining initially independent objects of thought expressed by self-determining words—predicate and argument—in order to convey any idea. Predication is a most important function of language cognition due to which the real and individualized worlds converge in the learner's mind. Hence, predication is not just a common fundamental of language, social intercourse, and individual inner thought activity but actually a medium creating the environment in which all three spheres mentioned function cohesively. The SLA Universal Invariant-Based Binary Predication Theory is identified in terms of its domain, content and procedural phenomena, principles, rules and regularities, binary opposition logic. and idealized object.

Full textAbstract:
The term “contraculture”, later referred to as “counterculture” in the works of T. Roszak, was first introduced by J. Milton Yinger in 1960. Yinger defined counterculture as a system of beliefs, opinions, and values fundamentally in conflict with the dominant culture of society. Since the publication of Yinger’s article, the concept of counterculture has evolved significantly. Today, it is widely recognized as an umbrella term that encompasses individuals from diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds, even though their personal histories often share common traits. Contemporary sociologists tend to view countercultures as temporary bonds among people characterized by a diversity of personalities, which facilitate their expression of support for and participation in a shared cause. Despite this evolution, we argue that the binary opposition of ‘counterculture’ and ‘dominant culture’ emphasized by Yinger should not be overlooked when discussing this phenomenon, as the former consistently reflects and engages in dialogue with the latter. The aim of this article is to analyze the protest poetry of the younger generation of Mizrahi poets, specifically Roy Hasan and Adi Keissar, as a component of modern Israeli counterculture. The themes of protest and intertextuality in the literary works of Mizrahi Jews have been explored for approximately twenty years by scholars such as R. Tzofar, H. Hever, Y. Oppenheimer, E. Schely-Newman, and C. Kronfeld. However, the concept of counterculture has yet to be applied to the Israeli-Mizrahi phenomenon. Our methodology draws on the theories of J. Yinger, T. Roszak, A. Bennett, and J. Kristeva.

Living in hiding and in seclusion, no matter the diversity of places and ways of hiding involved in this experience, implied a subversive economy that consisted of transgressing bravely Nazi laws and blurring out boundaries through a reversal of binaries: Jew / non-Jew, life/death, visible/invisible, inclusion/exclusion. This paper is based on the fundamentals of Jacques Derrida's theory of deconstruction. The writing of the experience of hiding rendered in the poetics of the memoirs displays and unfolds in its binary mode the thin space/slash hidden Jews were to locate between presence/absence in the Judenrein space and consequently between life /death. They resisted the Nazi regime and laws and derided their fundamentals by the very act of living in hiding. This study focuses on the following memoirs: Flora I was but a child, Flora M. Singer (2007), The Girl With the Red Coat, Roma, Lagocka (2002), The Girl in the Green Sweater, Chrystyna Chiger (2008), The Hidden Girl, Lola Rein Kaufman (2008), and No Place for Tears, Sabina Rachel Kalowska (2008). Moving from one hiding place to another to better the chances of survival was the ordeal of many persecuted Jews who lived in hiding. They were forced to be on the run, being in constant motion, sliding in and out between absence and presence. It meant also changing identities frequently: from Aryan to Jew and vice-versa. The need to move to a new hiding place also underscores the movement of erasure of each element of the oppositions. This movement of erasure evolved into an existential move, essential in conditioning their survival strategy. Keywords: Derrida, deconstruction, Holocaust, living in hiding, literature.

Full textAbstract:
Following World War II, as America grappled with the cultural revolution of the 1950s and 60s and defining its identity domestically and on the world stage, a core tenet of American life bubbled to the surface of political, social, and aesthetic discourse: privacy. Once the revelry of the Allies’ win in the World War cooled into the precarity of the Cold War, American democracy and the culture it afforded its citizens were positioned and advertised, first and foremost, in opposition to the totalitarian government and culture of the Soviet Union. In her book Pursuing Privacy in Cold War America (2002), American literature scholar Deborah Nelson attributes the eulogizing of privacy that emerged in Cold War America to heightened national security discourse and the accompanying fear of the Eastern Bloc.1 The trajectory of American life would be forever shaped by this discourse, and nowhere is its lasting influence more evident than in two layers of American infrastructure: law and the built environment. Conceptually, privacy presents a straightforward notion, so much so that it’s often defined and understood in a binary condition: that which is not public. However, the public versus private dichotomy quickly dissolves when presented in legal and architectural contexts. Perhaps surprisingly, the word privacy does not appear in the United States Constitution and, thus, has not always been a guar-anteed, fundamental right. Privacy was first acknowledged as a right bestowed in America’s founding documents in the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) case of Griswold v. Connecticut (1965). This case granted married couples the right to use contraception on the grounds that this was within the confines of their private lives and not to be meddled with by the government. Justice William Douglas wrote for the Court’s majority: “Specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance. Various guarantees create zones of privacy.”2 Exceedingly spatial in this description, these shadowy zones of implied privacy rights can be located in the First, Third, Fourth, Ninth, or Fourteenth Amendments, or some combination therein, depending on constitutional interpretation. In the discipline of architecture, where we construct and delineate private and public spaces, it’s worth mapping the evolution of legal privacy with the evolution of private space. Where do these zones of privacy exist spatially, and how are they occupied? How can we begin to characterize the role of architecture, past and present, as good or bad, antagonistic or protective, and as an active player in this discourse? Using digital modeling and imaging tools, Corpus Comunis assembles and excavates material from a lineage of seven Supreme Court cases from 1965 to 2022 to establish a cohesive visual language through which we can speculate on how law and architecture together have, and may continue to, define the extents of our private, interior lives.
