Abstract:
AbstractThe human imagination remains one of the last uncharted terrains of the mind. People often imagine how events might have turned out “if only” something had been different. The “fault lines” of reality, those aspects more readily changed, indicate that counterfactual thoughts are guided by the same principles as rational thoughts. In the past, rationality and imagination have been viewed as opposites. But research has shown that rational thought is more imaginative than cognitive scientists had supposed. InThe Rational Imagination,I argue that imaginative thought is more rational than scientists have imagined. People exhibit remarkable similarities in the sorts of things they change in their mental representation of reality when they imagine how the facts could have turned out differently. For example, they tend to imagine alternatives to actions rather than inactions, events within their control rather than those beyond their control, and socially unacceptable events rather than acceptable ones. Their thoughts about how an event might have turned out differently lead them to judge that a strong causal relation exists between an antecedent event and the outcome, and their thoughts about how an event might have turned out the same lead them to judge that a weaker causal relation exists. In a simple temporal sequence, people tend to imagine alternatives to the most recent event. The central claim in the book is that counterfactual thoughts are organised along the same principles as rational thought. The idea that the counterfactual imagination is rational depends on three steps: (1) humans are capable of rational thought; (2) they make inferences by thinking about possibilities; and (3) their counterfactual thoughts rely on thinking about possibilities, just as rational thoughts do. The sorts of possibilities that people envisage explain the mutability of certain aspects of mental representations and the immutability of other aspects.

Abstract:
The fields of psychology and neuroscience are in the midst of an explosion of research aimed at illuminating the human imagination—the ability to form thoughts and mental images that stretch beyond what is currently available to the senses. Imaginative thought is proving to be remarkably diverse, capturing the capacity to recall past experiences, consider what lies ahead, and understand other people’s minds, in addition to other forms of creative and spontaneous thinking. In the first part of this article, we introduce an integrative framework that attempts to explain how components of a core brain network facilitate interacting features of imagination that we refer to as the mind’s eye and mind’s mind. We then highlight three emerging research directions that could inform our understanding of how imagination arises and unfolds in everyday life.

Abstract:
The influence of film's compelling images, characters and storylines has polarized perspectives on cinema and the moral imagination. Does film stimulate the audience's imagination and foster imitation in morally dangerous ways, or elicit ethical insight and empathy? Might the presentation of images on screen denude the capacity to conjure images in the mind's eye, or cultivate the imaginative capacity for moral vision as spectators attend to the plight of protagonists? Using Imitation of Life (Douglas Sirk, 1959) to interrogate paradoxical perspectives on the cinematic imagination, this article develops an account of the moral imagination focusing on sensory, emotional and empathic aspects of the audience's imaginative relationship with screen characters and their innermost thoughts and feelings.

AbstractIn this response I discuss some of the key issues raised by the commentators on The Rational Imagination. I consider whether the imaginative creation of alternatives to reality is rational or irrational, and what happens in childhood cognition to enable a rational imagination to develop. I outline how thoughts about causality, counterfactuality, and controllability are intertwined and why some sorts of possibilities are more readily imagined than others. I conclude with a consideration of what the counterfactual imagination is for.

Abstract:
Patients with health-anxiety are very often unable to describe concrete consequences of their putative somatic diseases. They block their thoughts due to anxiety attended this thoughts. The health-anxious patients try not to think about illness at all, by attempting to control their thoughts or by distraction. Our method is based on therapeutic dialogue, using Socratic questioning, and inductive methods which force patient to think beyond actual blocks.In second step, patients are asked to think out all other possibilities of newly discovered future. They are forced to imagine the worse consequences of all dread situations. Dialogue is led through one's serious illness status, with its somatic, psychological and social consequences, and the dying experience to the moment of death, which has to be described with all related emotions and details. Further, we ask patients to fantasize and constellate possible "after death experiences". In the next session the patient brings a written conception of the redoubtable situation previously discussed. Than we work with this text as in imaginative exposure therapy.This method seems to be quite effective and not too time-consuming. Several patients with health-anxiety underwent this exposure in our therapeutical groups. All of these patients profited from this therapy, as confirmed by follow-up data.Participants will learn:•conceptualization of health anxiety with the patient;•Socratic questioning with the hypochondriacal patient;•how to apply the exposure to the imaginative death experience.Supported by the research project No. 1M0517 from Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, the Czech Republic.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper explores the tension in Kierkegaard’s Christian discourses between Kierkegaard’s overt emphasis on Scriptural authority and Kierkegaard’s imaginative Scriptural use, through an analysis of the discourse series, “Thoughts That Wound from Behind—for Upbuilding.” The paper argues that Kierkegaard employs Scriptural language both imaginatively to create distanciation and directly to create confrontation, without differentiating how Scriptural authority functions in these two uses. The paper concludes that when Kierkegaard emphasizes Scriptural authority, he is really emphasizing the authority of “Christian concepts” stabilized in Christian tradition, and that he utilizes Scripture freely and imaginatively to challenge readers with those authoritative concepts.

Abstract:
Imagination and images refer jointly ability to imagine. Imaginative therapies operate all within an almost real context. In therapeutical experience, the individual goes through almost real experiences before going through the events in reality, acts before acting in reality and this provokes changes in somatic level. The almost real dimension, namely the imaginative dimension, influences the individual, or rather the individual, starting from the imagination changes himself, his beliefs and perceptions. Imagination as therapeutic intervention is sometimes more efficient and more valuable than other therapies. It is also effective in treating a range of psychological symptoms such as insomnia, depression, obesity, cronich pain, various phobias, anxiety and panic , somatic problems. Given the fact that the images are effective in treating a range of psychological symptoms, including depression we want to see if imaginative techniques help improve symptoms of postpartum depression. This case was treated at University Hospital for Obstetric and Gynecology "Koco Gliozheni" Tirane (Albania). A 35 years young mother showed depressive symptoms associated with post-partum condition, as determined by semi-structured interviews and relevant test EDPS, also by psychiatric consultations. Besides the daily psychological support I proposed some imaginative techniques like self-watching, flooding, guided imagery. Imaginative activity in general, in the case in question, was a valid instrument of the difficulties in everyday life. The patient learned to visualize problematic elements of each situation and this resulted an efficient approach. Imagination helped identify schematic components that have contributed to the formation of inappropriate thoughts and exaggerated ideas. It helped in recognition of the patient's emotional reality and modifying this emotional reality. The patient uses images to manage situations different daily life even by telephone follow up. This case study shows that imagery techniques, elaborated through images, facilitate recovery and provide us with a functional interpretation of the event and its consequences. Working with images intended to make the patient able to withstand and manage the pain that bring different situations and to integrate it in the history of personal life.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>Generally, the reality of empirical experience is used as a reference in the settlement spatial arrangement. In this study, however, the form of myth and imagination affects spatial arrangement and environmental conservation. Spatial arrangement of settlements in Kampung Kuta, Ciamis, West Java is based on historical imaginative mythical thoughts of the past about the Idea of Keraton Wurung. The thought has positively impacted on the sustainability of environmental preservation in the present. The study was conducted based on qualitative-explorative approach by interviewing some key informants of local population. In terms of verification, the findings are being compared among the concept of spatial layout of current Kampung Adat Kuta and the general settlement theory as well as the concept of kampung in Priangan of the myth- imaginative-based spatial concept. The findings of the study suggest that conservation measures are based on the respect of the sacred imaginative of the palace and the ancepan that are considered as the important components of the palace and need to be maintained its sustainability. The control of human behavior in conservation efforts refers to: prohibitions and obligations to maintain harmony by considering the arrangements of ancient, balance, and management of natural resources that ensure the sustainability of life. </span></p><p><span>Keywords: </span><span>imaginary-myth, Kampung Adat Kuta, environmental preservation. </span></p></div></div></div>

Ichino, A. "Imagination in thought and action." Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2434/280094.

Abstract:
In this thesis I ask what the role of imagination is in our representation of the world and interactions with it. A standard answer to this question is that imagination has no direct role: imagination’s proper function is rather to allow us to disengage from reality; its motivating power, if it has any, is basically limited to children’s pretence. I argue that this standard answer is mistaken: imagination’s role is much larger than that. I consider a number of cases – including cases of superstitious and religious actions, or so-called ‘expressive behaviours’ – where we are moved to act by representational states that are not sensitive to real-world evidence, nor integrated in our whole system of beliefs. I argue that at least some degree of sensitivity to evidence and inferential integration are necessary for a state to count as belief; hence the representational states that play the relevant motivating role in the cases I consider cannot be beliefs. I suggest that imagination is the best alternative candidate. This supports an account of imagination according to which its functional profile is the same of belief with respect to emotional and behavioural outputs, while it critically differs from belief with respect to cognitive inputs (and related normative constraints). Imaginings dispose us to act and react in the same ways in which belief do; but they are not (nor ought be) formed and maintained in response to real-world evidence as beliefs are (and ought to be). On this view, many cognitions that are standardly classified as beliefs – like superstitious, ideological and religious ‘beliefs’ – turn out to be better understood as imaginings. Imagination does not just allow us to ‘escape’ from reality into fictional worlds, but plays a key, direct role in our representation of (and practical engagement with) reality.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis seeks to broaden the nature of anti-colonial thinking in organisation theory through a strategy of ‘reading and rediscovery’ of prominent African anti-colonial writers and activists portraying them as serious organisation theorists. By reading these theorists, I show some of the depth and sweep of their thinking, hoping to prompt a new appreciation of them today. To read these figures as organisation theorists opens up organisation theory not just to African thinking and history, but also to a range of organisations that often do not show up in the canon of organisation studies. This allows us to see a colourful organisation theory that reflects multiple realities, a postcolonial critique of organisation development of organisation theory, and opens up the western academy to Africa as subject rather than object. Here is a different consciousness of identity and subjectivity, a virtue made of structures (Nkrumah), a radical change and transformation of the individual and group (Cabral’s bottom-up cultural change), and of organisation and social formation of the state (Du Bois, Padmore, James, Cabral, Fanon). This colourful approach is distinct from current postcolonial organisational analysis and ‘management in Africa’ literatures. I test this thesis by observing a case study of contemporary African thinking on organisation at the most general level of society, ubuntu. Ubuntu today straddles the theory and practice of African cosmology, and the calculating world of private firms in a profit-taking market in South Africa. Can its mixture of theory and practice and political ambition fulfil the hopes of this earlier generation? Finally, this is also a disciplinary project, challenging organisation studies to examine its borders and limits, for I am seeking at a very personal level, as a southern African of Nguni origin, to write myself into the consciousness and praxis of that discipline of organisation theory.

Abstract:
The focus of this study is the relationship between Carl Jung's practice of active imagination and Christian religious experience. The research is qualitative, using the heuristic research method as developed by Clark Moustakas. The experience of active imagination is defined and the practice is explained. Consideration is given to its values and benefits. In the heuristic style, the research focusses on the active imagination work of the researcher and four research participants. The active imagination case material of the five participants is summarised and depictions of their material are included which identify the nature, essence, and meaning of their experiences. The broad spectrum of Christian religious experience is explored with particular attention to the contributions of James and Kelsey. The experience of discernment is highlighted and distinctions between "spiritual" and "religious" are considered. Jung's theories of religious experience are identified using the work of Chapman, and the differences and similarities between active imagination and Christian religious experience are examined.

Abstract:
This thesis, argues for the theological viability of Coleridge’s ontological insight into artworks and natural phenomena as aesthetically intimative of transcendence. However this finding is dependent on a critical analysis of Coleridge’s work, separating poetical insights from a systematic context which works against their theological promise. This Coleridgean analysis is in turn dependent, philosophically, upon a critical examination of a variety of Kantian and post-Kantian texts, through which is derived an account of pre-conceptual imaginative process, as related to a Bergsonian account of time considered as an organically non-calculable structure, in light of a Kierkegaardian theological norm. I discern a tension running through Coleridge’s work between the insights of the poet and the ambitions of the post-Kantian metaphysician. I argue that this tension is subversive of Coleridge’s underlying religious and poetic motivations. Through an analysis of Coleridge’s thought in both its systematic and less formal, aesthetic tendencies, I extricate his claim for the aesthetic intimation of transcendence through nature and art from the post-Kantian systematic conceptuality through which Coleridge is often led to distort it, in a countervailing drive towards systematically complete explanation. The thought of Kierkegaard will serve to illumine the ethico-aesthetic dynamics of Coleridge’s account of the appropriation of transcendent insight, conceived as an event of the dawning of religious truth as a conceptually indeterminate imaginative process, which as such, is only accessible to an imaginative and participative receptivity on the part of the aesthetic subject. A similar, imaginative ethos is discerned in the aesthetic positions of Coleridge and Kierkegaard; an attentive humility in openness to the potential manifestation of genuinely creative alterity. Through this thesis, the theological claim is advanced, in a new way, that in the eyes of Christian faith, an intimation of transcendence can be interpreted as a glimpse of the everyday world as created, an encounter with the familiar in its own ecstatic otherness.

Abroon, Fazel. "Ontological unity and empirical diversity in Shelley's thought : with reference to Ibn Arabi's theory of imagination." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1998. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3949/.

Full text
Abstract:
The key to Shelley's thought system lies in understanding that the thing and its opposite, the idea and its contrary, are brought together simultaneously. Shelley tries to resolve in one way or another the contradiction between transcendentalism and immanence, essentialism and socialism, and finally thought and object. He makes the unity of life his manifesto and yet does not deny the diversity of beings. The ontological clearly has a place within his system and nonetheless the phenomena are considered epistemological divisions, non-essential and insubstantial. He believes in the existence of a comprehensive sign system with no transcendent meaning and yet speaks of an absolute incomprehensibility of a transcendent being which defies words and signs. In short, beings for him are only relationships with no essence, and existence is still one essence in which none of these relations holds true. In harnessing the contraries Shelley's thought cannot be categorised as reductionist, dialectical, or deconstructionist. The logic he follows denies neither of the two opposites nor does it link them dialectically through accepting a third element, but resolves the opposition through a shift of perspective. Existence is both transcendent and immanent, essential and relational, and comprehensive and ineffable. This dissertation attempts to show that from such a perspective the rhetorical or deconstructive coincides with the grammatical or the metaphysical. Although the opposition set by the deconstructionists between the rhetorical and the grammatical readings is assumed by Shelley to exist between the metaphorical and the literal, nevertheless he accepts them as two epistemes; the ontological remains existing but unreadable, and the text is only its expression.

Abstract:
The user in technics marks a departure for the human side of an ambit. Academia fol-lows the act: essays may be graded by software, e-readers track student eye movement reporting to an education manager what the student purportedly read. Increasingly, re-lation is deported to the online classroom or the hybrid space of Learning Management Systems.Purportedly serving intellectual freedom and humanity, universities will inevitably collapse into technics. Our lingering delusion that state universities serve a national purpose and preserve this alongside the interest of global capitalism is well known. However this delusion, allusion, illusion is given, it is powered by imagination and the human task is to reclaim access and care for it. Technological order, what governs sig-nificantly the production of the world and the presentation of nature to human thought has quickly placed the imagination as its final prize. Conversely if the university mirage cast a shadow over the reality of technics, the other side of an imaginative ambit opens toward an ethics of imagination.

Abstract:
This paper describes the development and evaluation of mixed reality tools for the early stages of design and engineering processing. Externalization of ideal and real scenes, scripts, or frames are threads that stir the imaginative exploration of the mind to ideate, formulate, and represent ideas, fuzzy thoughts, notions, and/or dreams. The body in the mind, embodied imagination is more important than knowledge. Current computational tools and CAD systems are not equipped or fully adapted in the ability to intuitively convey creative thoughts, closely enact or connect with users in an effective, affective, or empathic way. Man-machine interactions are often tethered, encumbered by e.g. stupefying modalities, hidden functionalities, constraint interface designs and preprogrammed interaction routes. Design games, mixed reality, ‘new’ media, and playful tools have been suggested as ways to support and enhance individual and collaborative ideation and concept design by improving communication, performance, and generation. Gamification seems to be successful especially in framing and/or blending common ground for collaborative design and co-creation processes. Playing games with cross-disciplinary design teams and future users in conjunction with tools to create stories, narratives, role-play and visual representations can be used as abstract ideation and design material in an open-ended design process. In this paper we discuss mixed reality tools based on a holistic user-centered approach within playful stochastic environments. We present preliminary findings and studies from experimentation with robust tools, prototypes, and interfaces based on our empirical research and work in progress.

Abstract:
The formation of reading literacy in the modern educational standard serves as an impetus for the search for new forms and means of motivating students to work with text and its sense perception. Comics, which are creolized texts, make active interest among teenagers and young people. An unusual form of conveying the information and further comprehension of the text can be actively used in increasing reading skills. One of the types of comics that are in demand among the youth target audience can be called the “manga” form. Readers are interested in the emotions and feelings, that are the foundation of this genre, and the author’s methods of depicting deep philosophical thoughts through the drawn characters and their remarks. Graphic-symbolic language allows the author to show own worldview, and the reader to develop imaginative thinking and interpret the actions and motives of the characters. The integration of verbal and visual means in manga helps to promote interest in reading and increase teenagers’ reading literacy.

Abstract:
The proposed article analyzes the combination of two kinds of musical organization: lyrical and dramatic, presented in the „Sonata-Reminiscenza”, op. 38, no 1 by N. Medtner. In the composer’s creations, in general, a synthesis of lyrics and drama is clearly traced, creating a special type of piano dramaturgy, where the lyrical features provoke an in-depth knowledge of the inner world of a person, his thoughts, images, feelings, while the dramatic element, seems „to remove” the shade of subjectivity in the content, leaving it in the sphere of the objective. The idea of reminiscence embedded in the analyzed sonata is the reason for this type of combination of the above-mentioned kinds of musical organization, which directly affect the content and form of the entire creation.

Abstract:
For pressing and complex spatial or social urban agendas, understanding and interpreting place has always been an important issue. In-depth and close explorative reading of a site—in which drawing, modeling and writing (the basic tools of architecture) become instruments to open up new perspectives—is vital for imagining site-specific architectural possibilities. We thus see creative imagination, related to and emerging from place, as a crucial source of innovation. As educators, therefore, we need to examine how to guide students explore their imaginative faculties. Our pedagogi-cal approach is founded upon the philosophical thought of phenomenology, theory on place, findings from neurosci-ence, and examination of architectural precedents. Based on these underpinnings we developed a course that focused on enhancing students’ spatial imagination and challenged them to think how the tools of architectural analysis and design can offer new imaginative ways to approach the local, social and historical aspects of a place. The paper illustrates how this framework is brought into architectural education by engaging the example of “Methods of Analysis and Imagination,” a master level elective course we taught in 2019. It presents the course’s overarching structure, as it unfolded over three intensive workshops on drawing, modeling and writing respectively. Investigating a selected site—through readings, conversations, exercises, hands-on and in situ assignments—the three workshops explored the way imagination can help us look at a place, and discover new and unique spatial or architectural relationships lurking in the banal and the ordinary. Through selected students’ work the paper concludes situating the course in an educational context that cares to expand spatial and architectural imagination, trusting imagination to be the productive and valuable answer to the many critical contemporary conditions we face as architects.

Abstract:
The capitalist system maintains the colonial logic in the dialogue between knowledge and ways of life. The accumulation of material wealth, individualism, production of goods and exacerbated consumption have resulted in imbalance, physical and symbolic exhaustion of the planet. The field of arts does not constitute an autonomous system in relation to culture, to the aforementioned cultural modes. In it, the processes of formation of subjects, exclusion and discrimination also result from neoliberalism, which imposes a Promethean education linked to the notion of civility and progress, causing malnutrition of feeling, sensitivity, and imagination. The poetic state is relegated to the background and restricted to literary expression. Artistic practices are inserted in the truth regimes of the hegemonic models that produce them. Building other pedagogies requires thinking about ways to deviate from the totalizing ontologies of the so-called traditional educational thought. The impact of (hegemonic) european theoretical constructions on classroom relationships needs to be considered, as well as racism and the absence of women in the epistemic field. It is in this context that initiatives to rethink the dichotomy between reason and imagination present in westernized culture gain importance. Imagination is an important factor of psychosocial balance, it is through imagination that the whole process of symbolization, signification and de-alienation of human thought takes place. Based on the notion that the imaginary and rationality are not antagonistic psychic spheres, the Pedagogy of the Imaginary proposes the reunion of rational and poetic forms of culture based on the revaluation of the imaginative function and reflection on the purpose and meaning we have given to life and education. This without resorting to a set of teaching techniques or strategies, much less taking the Pedagogy of Imaginary as a discipline whose content deals with the imagination or creativity. This study began with the completion of the discipline Pedagogy of the Imaginary in Visual Arts (2020.2/ UFPE), where the participation of students provided insights into the need to identify forms of resistance to hegemonic cultural modes, in addition to motivating us to think about a Pedagogy of the Imaginary for the Artistic Education. Some questions remain: 1) How can the knowledge about art/ life of students undergoing training in the field of teaching/ learning arts be articulated with studies on decoloniality and the Imaginary?; 2) How can the Pedagogy of the Imaginary be conceived for the field of Artistic Education and how can it be plotted with the debate on decoloniality?; 3) How do undergraduate art students think about the possibilities of deviation within their teacher training and internship practices? The doctoral project “Libertarian artistic education. A counter-pedagogy?” which began its second year in October 2021, at FBAUP, intends to continue this debate.

Maya, Sebastian. "A reflexive educational model for design practice with rural communities: the case of bamboo product makers in Cuetzalan, México." In LINK 2021. Tuwhera Open Access, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.24135/link2021.v2i1.58.

Abstract:
In the '60s and '70s, a global economic and technological development plan for "undeveloped" countries defined the base of the professionalization process of industrial design in Latin America. Since then, many scholars have revised the industrial design practice and proposed new ways to reinterpret Latin American design according to current perspectives about the context and territory. This research strives on a reflexive educational model based on a socio-technical system's understanding for a mixed craft-industrial design practice with rural communities in Mexico. By combining post and decolonial perspectives and critical theories of neoliberalism in the design field; and analyses of the design education process inside the rural communities of bamboo product makers in Cuetzalan (Puebla, México), it is possible to unravel the translation agency of designers (also as individuals with personal and professional interests) between the global economic system pressures and internal beliefs and positions of communities. Following Arturo Escobar's (2007, 2013, 2017) and Walter Mignolo's (2013) ideas, the design practice in Latin America is highly questionable when it tries to involve rural or social perspectives due to the influence of the development's regimes of representation. These regimes vigorously promote the generation of economic wealth from economic and technological development, primarily based on a globalized neoliberal logic. As Professor Juan Camilo Buitrago shows in the Colombian case, many universities were linked to government economic policies "due to the need to align themselves with the projects that the State was mobilizing based on industrialization to encourage exports." (2012, p. 26). This idea is still valid since public and private universities constantly compete for economic resources that they exchange with applied knowledge that points to the development of various economic sectors. Numerous studies attempt to reconcile academic epistemological and ontological forms with rural ways of understanding the world. Regardless of these efforts, it is necessary to highlight that professional design education has barely incorporated these reflections within its institutional academic structures. This work has been part of a series of university-level courses that mix experiences and perspectives between Anahuac University final year design students and the Tosepan Ojtatsentekitinij (bamboo workshop) members. The current research considers the participation of all the actors involved in the educational process (directors, lecturers, and students) and the people close to the bamboo transformation processes in Cuetzalan. The course is divided into three phases. First, students and professors discuss critical topics about complex systems and wicked problems, participatory methodologies, capitalism and globalization, non-western knowledge, social power dynamics, and Socio-technical systems. The second phase involves independent and guided fieldwork to share thoughts and intentions with the bamboo material and its possible applications. Lastly, there are different creation, experimentation, and exposition moments where each actor could share comments about all the experiences. The results intended to provide analytical tools that allow design students and educational staff members to deconstruct their economical-industrial roots to tend bridges that harmonize imaginative and creative attitudes between designers and rural craftspersons.

Abstract:
This article talks about the partial life of the Nobel laureate American writer, writer, journalist Ernest Heminguey, who left an indelible mark in world literature with his rare masterpieces, the content and artistry of his works. In all his works, he tries to embody in the lives of his heroes what he feels, what he sees, what he experiences, what he witnessed through his eyes. This adib is distinguished in world literature by such violations of the boundaries of literary imagination as Joyce, Kafka, Kamyu, not by his style or a new diagnosis of society and the essence of man, by the simplicity and simplicity of his style, the vital reflection of the thoughts of the war generation in all his images, the fact that his heroes were able to rise His creative laboratory energized the imagination of young writers about creativity, literature and life, giving strength and opportunity

Abstract:
As the Overton window shifts increasingly to the right across the West and many democracies edge closer towards the spectre of fascism, the question remains, how did we get here? Progression and hope have given way to disenchantment and nihilism and the only solution appears to be regression, nostalgia and spectacularised politics that as Nietzsche claimed, devalues values themselves. I propose a way of thinking through nihilism and disenchantment with politics, that continues to threaten our democracies though the thought and work of critical theorists that faced a similar challenge. With Hannah Arendt’s notion that to change the world we must first ‘love’ the world, this research will explore how we re-engage with politics and infuse a Blochian hope back into the idea of the future. Using Hannah Arendt’s works alongside that of Nietzsche and contemporary theorist, Wendy Brown, this research will ask what we can learn from these theorists that write at various moments of disenchantment and loss and how we can reimagine politics at a time where it is most vital. In reading these theorists alongside one another, I may conclude with how critical thought and pedagogy through Arendt’s concept of Amor Mundi compared with Wendy Brown’s defence of academia in fostering radical ideas and political imagination, may combat the nihilistic apathy felt towards politics today.

Abstract:
Abstract. Both literary translation and creation use language to shape artistic images, and artistic images are the crystallization of artistic thinking. Translation is not only cross-lingual transfer, but also conversion of thought. In novel translation, the translator's image thinking plays a vital role because of the characteristics of literary works. By the translation of Charles Frazier’s novel Nightwoods as an example, this paper illustrates how to make full use of four activities of imagery thinking (perception, association and imagination, emotion and harmony) during the translation process. By using of imagery thinking, the translation shows the charm and beauty of original works, and achieves images reproduction of novel character.
