Abstract:
This article contributes to the ongoing theoretical and empirical discussions within the studies of media and religion on the interaction of these social institutions in contemporary society. Firstly, we locate our research questions within the recent theoretical debates on relations between media and religion in contemporary society, the US, Western Europe and, particularly, postcommunist countries. Secondly, we discuss the representations of minority religions in Lithuanian media grounding on the empirical research of Lithuanian media in 2000-2012. Results of the empirical research showed that minority religions in Lithuanian media were represented mostly in a negative and scandalous context. The majority of articles contained various rhetorical strategies which strengthened the proposed viewpoints. Opinions of the members of minority religions, experts and society were the most common information source dealt with in the analysed articles.

Abstract : Opposing the contemporary literary reductionism of ekphrasis to a verbal representation of a painting, a sculpture, a drawing, or a photograph, this research views otherness as the object of contemplation. Through the present rereading of ekphrasis, the investigation will seek 1) to analyze how the ekphrastic characteristics of Walcott`s poetry in his latest work White Egrets promote more companionship than antagonistic views between poetry and painting, and; 2) to analyze how ekphrasis transforms the imagery of Derek Walcott`s créole identity into an aesthetic object of contemplation, depicting it in the similar way of a work of art. More specifically, the discussion analyses how the cultural relations/representations between the self and the other provide an ?ekphrastic situation? for Derek Walcott in the Caribbean?s complex colonial legacy. The poet`s ekphrastic act to render private and personal identity intimacies will lean on the nonfixity of the image, or its motion in stasis. The main theoretical concepts that sustain this investigation are drawn from the works of W.J.T. Mitchell (1980, 1986, 1994, 1996), Cheeke (2008), Loizeaux (2008), and Hall (1989, 1993, 1996, 1997).

Opondo-se ao reducionismo literário contemporâneo de que a écfrase seja somente uma representação verbal de uma pintura, uma escultura, um desenho ou uma fotografia, esta pesquisa vê a própria alteridade como objeto de contemplação. Através desta releitura da écfrase, a presente investigação visa 1) analisar como as características ecfrásticas da poesia de Derek Walcott em sua última coleção de poesias intitulada White Egrets (Garças Brancas) propiciam mais companheirismo que visões antagônicas entre poesia e pintura, e; 2) analisar como a écfrase transforma a imagem da identidade crioula de Derek Walcott em um objeto estético de contemplação, retratando-a de uma forma semelhante a uma obra de arte. Mais especificamente, a discussão analisa como as relações/representações culturais entre o eu-individual e o outro propiciam uma  situação ecfrástica para Derek Walcott no complexo legado colonial Caribenho. O ato ecfrástico do poeta ao relatar aspectos privados e pessoais de sua identidade revelar-se-á embasado na infixidez da imagem, ou seja, seu imobilismo em movimento. Os principais conceitos teóricos que sustentam esta investigação foram retirados das obras de W.J.T. Mitchell (1980, 1986, 1994, 1996), Cheeke (2008), Loizeaux (2008), e Hall (1989, 1993, 1996, 1997).

Uma produção brasileira de Otelo, de William Shakespeare, dirigida por Janssen Hugo Lage, foi analisada. Dados incluindo vídeo, fotografias, texto de origem, manual de palco, críticas e entrevistas com membros da compania e da platéia, foram investigados conforme a metodologia proposta por Jay Halio e sustentada por Maria Helena Serôdio e Susan Bennett. Dada a relevância do discurso racial de Otelo para o contexto brasileiro, a análise procurou investigar como o texto Shakespeareano foi realizado na produção de Lage em relação à caracterização da personagem principal como o Outro, motivo pelo qual os conceitos de Alteridade e Raça, conforme discutidos por Edward Said e Robert Miles, foram considerados. A análise mostrou que, apesar das preocupações da compania quanto à atualização dramática e o tema do racismo, a produção continuou concordando com os estereótipos racistas há muito atrelados à peça.

Groves, Christopher. "Hegel and Deleuze : immanence and otherness." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1999. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2473/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis critically analyses the dominant foundationalist tendency of modern philosophy, with special reference to the sophisticated antifoundationalist critiques of foundationalism formulated by G.W.F. Hegel and Gilles Deleuze. It begins by outlining a general methodological aspect of foundationalism, regarding the necessity of radical self-critique in philosophy, which directly connects contemporary thought with Cartesianism, via classical German philosophy. In the philosophies of Kant, Fichte and Schelling, this self-critical project is transformed: they undertake to show that reason can, by examining itself, give an account of experience that is systematic, or consistent with itself. However, each of these thinkers fails to accomplish this, and indeed, the commitment to a priori foundations is itself undermined in Schelling's work; where a philosophical crisis of meaning (a 'trauma of reason', philosophical nihilism) emerges. Deleuze and Hegel's contrasting critiques of foundationalism, and their positive reconstructions of the standpoint of philosophy, are then interpreted as non-foundationalist attempts to overcome this internal crisis of foundationalist thought as inadvertently exposed by Schelling. Both criticise certain subjective presuppositions common to foundationalist philosophies, which they consider constitute a dogmatic 'image' of philosophy, a kind of transcendental illusion that is the guiding force behind foundationalism. Both also aim to replace this with a genuinely philosophical image. The thesis provides an original historical contextualisation of Deleuze's thought in relation to German Idealism, and Schelling in particular, with whom, it is argued, Deleuze has much in common. Deleuze's conception of pure difference is treated in this regard as a kind of 'absolute knowledge'. This contextualisation also allows the sometimes crudely understood antipathy between Hegel and Deleuze to be addressed in a more penetrating fashion, which shows that they have more in common in terms of their critical orientation than is usually supposed. The thesis concludes with a critical comparison of these thinkers, which argues that, although both succeed in their own terms, in relation to a criterion of self-consistency, Hegel's philosophy offers a more satisfactory treatment of the ontological and historical conditions of philosophical activity.

Ray, Nicholas. "Tragedy and otherness : Sophocles, Shakespeare, psychoanalysis." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2002. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3052/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis is concerned with the relationship between psychoanalysis and tragedy, and the way in which psychoanalysis has structured its theory by reference to models from tragic drama - in particular, those of Sophocles and Shakespeare. It engages with some of the most recent thinking in contemporary French psychoanalysis, most notably the work of Jean Laplanche, so as to interrogate both Freudian metapsychology and the tragic texts in which it claims to identify its prototypes. Laplanche has ventured an ‘other-centred’ re-reading of the Freudian corpus which seeks to go beyond the tendency of Freud himself, and psychoanalysis more generally, to unify and centralise the human subject in a manner which strays from and occults some of the most radical elements of the psychoanalytic enterprise. The (occulted) specificity of the Freudian discovery, Laplanche proposes, lies in the irreducible otherness of the subject to himself and therefore of the messages by which subjects communicate their desires. I argue that Freud’s recourse to literary models is inextricably bound up with the ‘goings-astray’ in his thinking. Laplanche’s work, I suggest, offers an important perspective from which to consider not only the function which psychoanalysis cells upon them to perform, but also that within them for which Freud and psychoanalysis have remained unable to account. Taking three tragic dramas which, more or less explicitly, have borne a formative impact on Freud’s thought, and which have often been understood to articulate the emergence of ‘the subject’, I attempt to set alongside Freud’s own readings of them, the argument that each figures not the unifying or centralising but the radical decentring of its principal protagonists and their communicative acts. By close textual analyses of these three works, and by reference to their historical and cultural contexts, the crucial Freudian motif of parricide (real or symbolic) which structures and connects them is shown ultimately to be an inescapable and inescapably paradoxical gesture: one of liberty and autonomy at the cost of self-division, and of a dependence at the cost of a certain autonomy.

Abstract:
The current migration crisis has put significant strain on the European Union and its member states. Immigration has always been a contentious issue in societies, most often facing significant opposition. By drawing on postmodern theories of international relations and Discourse Theory, this paper analyses how immigration is being increasingly securitized by the European Union and its member states along with what makes securitization the hegemonic discourse. This is done primarily with reference to identity construction through the framing of the Other, in this case the migrant, as an unwanted and externalized element. Furthermore, the paper details how the framing of the migrant as a threat to the internal security of a country strenghtend identity politics across Europe. Finally, using the Brexit campaign in the UK, the paper analyzes how the rise in identity politics in turn raises the possibility of a successful fusion of the anti-immigration discourse with the anti-EU discourse through the exploiting of societal unease.

Abstract:
This thesis is a philosophical, theological and educational exploration of the theme of ontology and otherness. It is intended to provide a theoretical ground for the possibility of Christian religious education in Christian schools, with particularly reference to school religious education in South Korea. For this purpose it investigates a philosophical ground of education, particularly religious education, in terms of ontology and otherness. The recent ontological turn in both education and religious education shows that they take critical realism (CR henceforth) as the pivotal philosophical ground. In reception of this approach the thesis argues, after reading of the originator of CR, Roy Bhaskar, that there is a characteristic feature in the philosophy, viz. the agential centred form of explanation of reality which results in the production of a lacuna of the dimension of otherness in CR. In response to the problem, the thesis attempt to integrate the dimension of otherness into CR through the exploration of Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophy of otherness which provides an account of the non-agential moment and ethical subjectivity as what that fills the lacuna and the point of the integration with CR, and incorporate Bhaskarian dialectical agent with ethical subjectivity. However, in doing so, it is revealed that there is a radical diverting point between Bhaskar’s notion of alethia and otherness which makes a prominent difference in accounting of ultimate reality as shown between Bhaskar ’s meta-Reality and Christian understanding of Trinitarian God. Drawing from the philosophical and theological account of ontology and otherness, the thesis finally attends Wright’s approach from the frame of otology and otherness, and argues for the use of Wright’s approach for the possibility of paving a way for Christian religious education in Christian schools.

Maitland, Sarah. "Cultural translation and the anxieties of otherness." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2011. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.557955.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the cultural 'turn' in translation studies, the concept of 'cultural translation' has received considerable attention. Conceptualised in a range of diverse ways, it has given rise to a proliferation of often conflicting accounts. Scholars have noted the limitations of such accounts and signalled the lack of significant analysis to provide a fuller understanding of cultural translation, its limits, assumptions and opportunities. This thesis responds to this need by providing a study of cultural translation in its diverse emanations and discerns four broad themes around which its myriad configurations coalesce: as an ethnographic 'encounter' with cultural difference; as a mobile practice that displays a 'migrant' doubleness of identity as a form of textual production that refuses to 'belong' securely in its place of reception; as a mode that constructs a 'hybrid' text that, in its refusal to be placed firmly within one 'side' or the other, occupies a space 'in-between' original and reproduction; and, in recognition of the appropriative forms of interpretation upon which translation is predicated, as a resistant practice that seeks ways to rectify translation's limited appraisal of cultural difference. The thesis examines these themes in order to test their theoretical possibilities within a practical context and argues for a view of cultural translation, above all, as a locus of intercultural encounter: between translator, original foreign text and all that the translator reads into it. Cultural translation thus emerges as an encounter between the cultural world of the foreign text and the subjective world of a translator, in which the relationship between translator and text is never dissociated from broader matters of power, imperialism, representation and positionality. In such a view, cultural translation insists that matters of inter lingual difference in translation are inseparable from the negotiations of cultural difference and 'anxieties' of otherness that take place behind it.

Full text
Abstract:
We aim to investigate ethnic names from an interdisciplinary perspective embracing not only an onomastic viewpoint, but also an ethnological, anthropological and sociological one. Generally speaking, ethnonyms as group names are derived from toponyms, but their referents are the people who inhabit a specific geographical area and who have a particular cultural identity. Still, the identity of a group just like that of a person is validated only by referring it to a different one. Therefore, in addition to the official name (‘the endonym’), the others, who speak a different language and have a different culture and mindset, as a result of their way of perceiving the world, will employ an exonym, a word of their own creation which usually has nothing to do with the geographical area, but rather with the habits and customs of the inhabitants. Sometimes these onymic formulas may even become offensive and function as stereotypes which generalise and preserve not pertinent character traits, but collateral ones, in relation to the referent (the Scot = scrooge; the Brit = snob; the German = organised and precise; the Japanese = punctual; the Italian = associated with the Mafia; the Norwegian = cold and introverted). This phenomenon is found especially in multicultural environments where the convergence point of two cultures becomes a source of alterity also affecting the level of onomastics. We define by linguistic means the peculiarities of some peoples, i.e. the Italians, Americans, Romanians and Germans.

Abstract:
The aim of this working paper is to foster the concept of “vulnerability” as a critical tool for social theory in general and conviviality-inequality studies in particular. First, to clarify the concept, an analytical distinction is established between vulnerability as either an experiential structure shared by all persons (constitutive vulnerability) or as historical social injustice that detrimentally impacts some more than others (contingent vulnerability). The paper then explores the contrast between approaches to epistemic injustice theory and standpoint epistemology as two opposing views with regard to the political and epistemic potential of vulnerability. From this contrast, finally, a critique of one-sided conceptions shows us that, for vulnerability to have a productive and critical use, it must be grasped as fraught with ambiguity, implying both a contingent risk of subjection and a constitutive opening to otherness. It is this ambiguity that makes vulnerability a useful conceptual tool for grasping conviviality as inextricably connected to inequality

Abstract:
This article explores how Venezuelan refugees have been constructed by the Brazilian media during the ongoing refugee crisis in South America. The fact that South-South migration has so far been understudied and the relevant and fast-escalating displacement of people from Venezuela were the motivations for this study. Twenty-one articles about Venezuelan refugees published between 2016 and 2021 by three mainstream, conservative newspapers were analyzed. The theoretical framework consisted of Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis and the theoretical concepts of stereotypes and otherness, from a decolonial perspective. The findings revealed that Venezuelans were mainly associated with negative aspects, comprehending two sub discourses: in the first one, they were constructed as the origin of diseases at the borders and associated with violence and societal tension, and in the second one they were constructed as exploited, underemployed and poorly integrated into the formal labor market. The findings contribute to increasing the understanding of the South-South migration phenomena by detailing the representation of Venezuelan refugees in the Brazilian media and the main discourses related to them.
