Abstract:
Recent years have seen a rise in nationalistic and even xenophobic rhetoric as well as actions animated by fears of the other and the foreigner. In light of these recent displays of xenophobia, this article theologically examines the category of otherness in conversation with the work of Nicholas of Cusa, specifically his De Li Non Aliud ( On the Not-Other). This fifteenth-century German theologian offers insights not only for reading God’s difference in relation to the world, but also for conceiving of how God’s alterity transforms creaturely otherness from the impetus for violence and repression to the basis for genuine reconciliation and relationship.

Abstract:
In this article, the author intends to explore the concept of alterity as otherness through an analysis of four highly differentiated narratives drawn from varied textual sources. The paper argues that alterity is depicted in four different and fluid meanings, namely those of separation, difference, assimilation and co-option, constituting enigmas of alterity. In conclusion, the author comments on the cultural-political process, by which these enigmatic constructs are produced and identifies and explains coercion and consent as the hegemonic impetus for its unfolding presence in current cultural-politics. Keywords: Alterity and Otherness, Enigmas of Alterity, Assimilation and Co-option

Abstract:
Increasingly, global–local situations call for theory to honour culturally diverse discourses and histories. This article is concerned with the ways that critical writings affect material concerns of dancers. The article stages crises of alterity; writing from the underside, I call attention to the need to acknowledge multiple subjectivities and locations. Alterity compels Asian artists to negotiate whiteness as praxis, and as theories of performance. However, even as writings valorize resistance and interventions of performance, by what theories are we restraining performers?2 Is the dancer-as-subaltern3 always to be the data that validates western theory and theorizing – regardless of the origin and commitments of the writer? How may the other, redefine himself or herself and be heard? I attend to the discomforts of participant-observation when writing about performances; to the discomforts produced by dichotomizing gazes on bodies that perform nationality. I attend to the performance of pluralities of Asianness from within the glass walls of a hothouse inside Euro-American dance discourse. Much has been said about intertexts and performance, but what about tacit knowledge that flies below the radar of ‘the cultural’?4 We need to consider intracultural epistemologies of perception such as the Natya Shastra discourses. This article asks how do we write non-violently so that identities can travel amidst moving spaces, cultural, personal, theoretical, performative spaces.

The aim of this paper is to study the process of creation of the image of the Turk in literary and visual sources, specially during 16th and 17th centuries. This process is studied taking into account the presence of conversos (Moriscos) in the Iberian Peninsula and how this fact was important in the configuration and perception of the otherness in that moment, as well as the construction of the identity.

Abstract:
Among the debates surrounding the area of Applied Linguistics studies, I am interested in this work, those that focus on the reflective and alterative character in qualitative research. I seek to discuss the subject's otherness movements in research actions in Applied Linguistics. From a theoretical-practical perspective, I present the alterity movements that surrounded a research based on the initial research project and the master's dissertation in its final version. The study showed that the linguist's autonomy applied in his practices reveals some movements of otherness, such as: the subject's otherness with the social situation, the subject's otherness with the context and the subject's otherness with the data.

Abstract:
The swift and profound transformations in technology and industry that the United States began to experience in the late 1800s manifested themselves in school textbooks, which presented different patterns of race, ethnicity, and otherness. They also displayed concepts like national identity, exceptionalism, and the superiority of Euro-American civilization. This article aims to demonstrate, via an analysis of two textbooks, how world geography was taught to children in primary schools in nineteenth century America. It shows that the development of American identity coincided with the emergence of the realm of the “other,” that is, with the intensification of racial attitudes and prejudices, some of which were to persist well into the twentieth century.

Abstract:
AbstractClassical reception studies and the Foucault-inflected study of ancient homosexuality came of age together, sharing several key dates in their core bibliographies. This article argues that this synchronicity is no coincidence. In particular, both endeavours have been driven by remarkably similar views of the ‘otherness’ of the past itself. Arguing that this view has partly been motivated by unspoken anxieties about scholarly agency, this article sheds some critical light on the presuppositions and methods of both subfields. It also aims to signpost some better, queerer ways forward, borrowed from the past itself.

Abstract:
Utopia as a concept points towards a world essentially alien to us. Utopia as a work describes this otherness and confronts us with a world whose strangeness might seem disturbing. Utopia and Europe differ in their relationship to what is other (Latin alienus) – that is, that which belongs to someone else, that which is foreign, that which is strange. These two worlds are at odds in regards to their foreign policy and way of life: Utopia aspires to self-sufficiency but remains open to whatever good may arrive from beyond its borders, while the Old World appears alienated by exteriority yet refuses to welcome any kind of otherness. This issue also plays a major part in the reception of More’s work. Book I invites the reader to distance himself from a European point of view in order to consider what is culturally strange not as logically absurd but merely as geographically remote. Utopia still makes room for some exoticism, but mostly in its paratexts, and this exoticism needs to be deciphered. All in all, Utopia may invite us to transcend the horizontal dialectics of worldly alterity in order to open our eyes to a more radical, metaphysical otherness.

Abstract:
The Other operates as a figure of inherent transgression: A manifestation of the repressions necessary for the sustenance of dominant ideology. As the Other lurches in from the sidelines to threaten and frighten before being neutralized through assimilation or death, dominant ideology is upheld and confirmed by being set against the abnormality and monstrosity of difference. In feminist film theory, otherness has been foundational as a means of describing women’s marginalization within patriarchal society. Where Man is constructed as subject, Woman is constructed as Other. As such, the female Other tells us far more about patriarchal constructions of Woman than it does about female subjects in the world. Feminist film theory demonstrates a pronounced investment in the need for spectatorial identification with female characters, conflating the roles occupied by character and person, and thus the female Other has traditionally been theorized as staunchly misogynistic—the embodiment of patriarchal and phallic fears of female monstrosity and lack. Against this tradition, I propose that the female Other is not always and necessarily an anti-feminist figure. Iterations of the Other that foreground character opacity and thus disrupt empathetic and identificatory methods of spectatorship productively disturb processes of ideological comfort. By refusing to subject the Other to an epistemological narrative structure, one which poses the female Other as mystery to be demystified, and by denying a resolution that destroys the Other and thus the threat that they represent, the films analyzed in this thesis demand an alternative methodology to account for the radical alterity of the female Other. The two case studies offered in support of this thesis are the melancholic Other, with the example of Justine in Melancholia (von Trier 2011) and the posthuman Other, as exemplified in Under the Skin (Glazer 2013) and Ex Machina (Garland 2015). Rather than occupying the traditional role of the female Other as monster, these characters threaten the integrity of the human precisely because of their revelation of the human monstrosity that lies at the heart of patriarchal masculinity.

Abstract:
This thesis works as a means for exploring the role of dreams and otherness within performance practice. By building upon the work of French intellectual Georges Bataille, I work to propose a method by which dreams may be incorporated through a phenomenological lens intended to invite openness to interpretation as a means of engaging the otherness of the audience. To aid in this theoretical aim, I highlight In Quiet Search of a Universal Gesture (a show featured in the Marion Kleinau Theatre directed by myself and Jason Hedrick) as an example of dream art as a means of exploring otherness.

Abstract:
There is a close relationship between art and philosophy. From time to time, philosophy attempts to make art its theme. Invariably it has to acknowledge the very qualities of art that it seeks to explain - art’s elusiveness and its indeterminateness. On the other hand, it is the nature of art to philosophise within itself, about itself, and about the world. In this sense it operates as tacit philosophy. The language of art and the language of philosophy differ in form; but recent turns in philosophy have led to the expression of its truth in terms that transcend language and question its own epistemic structure. At the same time, art has always acknowledged its approach to ‘truth’ and ‘knowledge’ as being ‘other’ to that epistemology. This ‘otherness’ to traditional ways of knowing is recognised in philosophical discourse as ‘alterity’. The thesis posits that in art alterity has always been, and remains, tacit and integral to art’s being. Thus, by exploring the ways in which – through alterity – art and philosophy intersect and interweave, the thesis aims to reveal a new kind of knowledge that transcends the rational and the empirical but is nonetheless not only valid, but of the very highest integrity. That knowledge is transmitted through a particular critical and creative approach to philosophy and to art that opens the possibility of the ‘event’ of Alterity. The thesis uses a discourse of philosophy and critical theory to reveal Alterity in philosophy, principally through the work of Derrida, Heidegger, Adorno, and Levinas; Alterity in art through the works of Fra Angelico, Pollock, Fantin-Latour, Malevich, Vermeer, and Saitowitz; and Alterity in my own art practice through a set of six sculptures.

Abstract:
According to philosopher, Emmanuel Levinas, alterity can exist only in its infinite and fluid nature in which the aspects of it that exceed the human ability to fully understand it remain unthematized in language. Levinas sees the encounter between self and other as the moment that instigates ethical responsibility, a moment so vital to avoiding mastering what is external to oneself that it should replace Western philosophy’s traditional emphasis on being as philosophy’s basis, or “First Philosophy.” Levinas’s conceptualization of language as a fluid, non-mastering saying, which one must continually re-enliven against a congealing and mastering said, is at the heart of his ethical project of relating to the other of alterity with ethical responsibility, or proximity. The imaginative poetic language that some contemporary poetry enacts, resonates with Levinas’s ethical motivations and methods for responding to alterity. The following project investigates facets of this question in relation to Levinas: how do the contemporary poets Peter Blue Cloud, Jorie Graham, Joy Harjo, and Robert Hass use poetic language uniquely to engage with alterity in an ethical way, thus allowing it to retain its mystery and infinite nature? I argue that by keeping language alive in a way similar to a Levinasian saying, which avoids mastering otherness by attending to its uniqueness and imaginatively engaging with it, they enact an ethical response to alterity. As a way of unpacking these ideas, this inquiry will investigate the compelling, if unsettled, convergence in the work of Levinas and that of Blue Cloud, Graham, Harjo, and Hass by unfolding a number of Levinasian-informed close readings of major poems by these writers as foregrounding various forms of Levinasian saying.

Abstract:
Since the late 1980s, there has been a steady production of Latin American narrative fiction in Spanish concerning China and the Chinese. Despite the work written about China and its relation to Latin America, no comprehensive examination of the representation of China in literature has been produced thus far. This thesis analyses nine novels in which China is the main theme, exploring how China has been represented in Latin American narrative fiction in recent decades. Using 'China' as a multidimensional term informed by Sara Ahmed's understanding of 'strangerness' (2000), this thesis first explores how the novels studied here both highlight and undermine assumptions about China that have long shaped Latin America's understanding of 'China'. Secondly, using theories of the fetish, it shows 'China' to be a kind of literary/imaginary 'third' term which reframes Latin American discourses of alterity. On one level, it is argued that these texts play with the way that 'China' stands in as a wandering signifier and as a metonym for Asia, a gesture that essentialises it as an unchanging other. On another level, it argues that the novels' employment of 'China' resists essentialist constructions of Latin American identity. 'China' is thus shown here to be a symbolic figure in Latin America, serving as a concept through which criticism of the construction of fetishised otherness becomes possible, as well as criticism of the exclusion inherent in essentialist discourses of identity, such as those contained in mestizaje. These discourses of mestizaje have traditionally emphasised racial and cultural mixture, and have excluded the Chinese from discourses of Latin American identity. As a result, 'China' is used here to deconstruct bound identities, interrupting discourses of otherness within Latin America. From this perspective, it is argued that these novels tend to gesture towards an understanding of identity as 'being-with', and community as inoperative, as developed by Jean-Luc Nancy (1991, 2000), whilst taking a cosmopolitan stance, as developed by Berthold Schoene (2011). The novels have been divided between those that set their stories in China, such as Cesar Aira's 'Una novela china' (1987); those that explore Chinese communities in Latin America, such as Ariel Magnus' 'Un chino en bicicleta' (2007); and those that focus on Latin American travel to China, such as Ximena Sanchez Echenique's 'El ombligo del dragon' (2007). Indebted to Ahmed's, Nancy's and Schoene's theoretical perspectives, Chapter 1 explores how 'China', as both a physical space and a discursive context, foregrounds negotiations of power in the histories of both China and Latin America. Chapter 2 studies how 'China' is used to recall and interrogate the notion of an indistinct 'oriental'. The final chapter seeks to understand the ways in which the novels articulate travel to China as a means of challenging Eurocentric structures and 'national' epistemologies. Ultimately, by disclosing the complex operations through which 'China' is represented in Latin American literary discourses, this study explores possible further reconfigurations of Latin American notions of identity and community as non-essentialist and in constant development.

Hoje eu vou morrer para nascer de novo. E como escrever histórias que existem em voz alta e que nunca quiseram estar nesta dissertação? Escrevo aqui uma dramaturgia a partir da alteridade, transformo o texto de um outro pela minha autoria. Procuro, assim, problematizar os usos de um discurso alheio ao escritor, como fundamento para o teatro. Para tanto, apresento três ações artísticas que realizei, Consulta, Fim da Fila e Jogo do Gênero, que são o motor para se pensar como a apropriação do real pode culminar na construção de um texto, processo que chamo de rubricagem. A presença física do dramaturgo em diálogo com o outro possibilita a construção de uma dramaturgia situada em campos expandidos do teatro, evidencia a performatividade do gesto, tanto no processo quanto na obra, e permite pensar caminhos da dramaturgia a partir da aproximação a alguém desconhecido.
Today I will die in order to be reborn. How to write spoken-word stories that never wanted to appear in this thesis? I describe here a dramaturgy of alterity, transforming the text of another into my own words. I thus seek to problematize the uses of a discourse foreign to the author as a foundation for theater. Therefore, I present three performances I have realized-- Consulta, Fim da Fila, and Jogo do Gênero--which drive my consideration about how the appropriation of the real can culminate in the construction of a text, a process I term rubricagem-- rubrication. The physical presence of the playwright in dialogue with another enables the construction of a text set in expanded domains of theatre, demonstrating the gesture\'s performativity--both in the process and final piece--and allowing us to conceive a dramaturgy that emanates from the approximation of someone unknown.

Full text
Abstract:
As an artist working with the female model, this practice-led research examines concepts of alterity and subjectivity while challenging the dominant role of male subjectivity in the western world. It revolves around the relationship between myself and the female subject, a specific woman who within the context of my work epitomises but at the same time transcends womanhood. This undertaking suggests that my representations of her body grow out of a dialectical tension between the feeling that the female other has almost become a metonymic extension of myself, and the awareness that such a feeling is at the same time illusory. The practical component of my investigations takes the form of body-themed box assemblages which are reminiscent of polyptychs, tabernacles and reliquaries. However, the sacred images which form part of these ecclesiastical items are replaced with others showing close-ups of the fragmented bodies of the model and myself. While this kind of profane artefact acts as a receptacle for our bodies which are broken down and enshrined together with other objects, it constitutes part of an ongoing process whereby the relationship between myself and the female figure is metamorphosed, re-shaped, and re-visioned. The significance of these creations is meant to extend beyond their artefactual existence and become mediums through which I re-visit female sexuality and eroticism and assess them within a spiritual context, albeit in the circumscribed framework of a particular woman. The artefact s ultimate objective is to appease my innate desire to access the other via a self-reflexive process which involves both mirroring and distancing at one and the same time. This process also includes an exploration into the spiritual with the aim of exploiting that which is other in the western theological tradition, namely God and the Divine. The gaze is also deeply involved in this exploration of the other. In fact, while our bodies are subjected to a re-visitation and trans-valuation in parts through multiplication and fragmentation, the gaze is in the process broken down into a series of glances which originate from myself, the viewer or the female subject. This process questions and disrupts the dominance of the male gaze, and its associated precepts, in Western visual culture. Finally, by correlating the model s body with the divine, my artefacts seek to give this woman, as an embodiment of the true other, a trans-corporeal identity. Rather than seeking to exert control over the other, they provide a pious space wherein the self and the other are able to encounter each other in a manner that initiates an equitable relationship, unhindered by presumptive knowledge. This is aided by the aesthetics and dynamics underlying the box assemblage which, while expressing gender fluidity and encouraging disengagement from preconceived dogmas a sort of reverse cognition also enhances the experience of its deific symbolism.

Abstract:
Esta dissertação tem por objetivo geral compreender se e como a outridade é construída na editoria Mundo da Folha de S. Paulo. Nosso ponto de partida foi o entendimento de que o jornalismo, além de estar centrado na contemporaneidade, deveria evidenciar as relações intersubjetivas baseadas tanto na diferença quanto na semelhança. Identificamos três eixos centrais para a discussão proposta: alteridade, outridade e jornalismo. Nas seções teóricas, trabalhamos com a alteridade e a outridade pela perspectiva fenomenológica e o jornalismo pelo paradigma construtivista, compreendendo que a participação ativa dos sujeitos sociais se reflete nas distintas percepções e interpretações que se pode ter do mundo. As abordagens metodológicas utilizadas foram Análise de Conteúdo e Análise de Narrativa. Na investigação empírica, analisamos 214 textos informativos publicados na versão impressa do jornal, em 2015. Como resultados, organizamos um mapeamento quantitativo da editoria estudada e, em uma análise qualitativa de 32 textos, identificamos os tipos de sujeitos narrados e construídos pela Folha: 1) o outro como sujeito transgressor e inconformado com sua condição particular; 2) o outro como sujeito desamparado ou à margem, 3) o outro como sujeito ameaçador, violento ou radical, 4) o outro como fenômeno da natureza, 5) o outro como sujeito sobrevivente, 6) o outro como sujeito ligado ao passado histórico.
This study aims mainly to understand if and how otherness is constructed in Folha de S. Paulo’s World section. We considered that journalism, in addition to being centered on contemporaneity, should highlight intersubjective relations based on both difference and similarity. Here, we identified three central axes: alterity, otherness and journalism. In the theoretical sections, we worked with alterity and otherness through the phenomenological perspective, and journalism through the constructivist paradigm, understanding that the social subject’s active participation is reflected at different perceptions and interpretations that one can have of the world. The methodologies employed were Content Analysis and Narrative Analysis. In the empirical investigation we analyzed 214 informative texts published in Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, in 2015. As a result, we organized a quantitative mapping and, a qualitative text analysis, in which we identified the subject’s types narrated and constructed by Folha: 1) the other as a transgressor and recusant subject; 2) the other as a helpless or marginalized subject, 3) the other as a threatening, violent or radical subject, 4) the other as natural phenomenon, 5) the other as a survivor, 6) the other as a subject related to historical past.

Full text
Abstract:
Au travers de la thèse j’interroge l’instance de Surmoi en insistant sur son aspect processuel. Le processus surmoïque est constant et très complexe. Ce travail dynamique et topique du Surmoi est lié avec le travail économique de constellation des énonces catégoriques surmoïques qui encadrent et réorganise le mouvement psychique. La constellation des énoncés surmoïques comme une sorte de langage interne est construit dans le lien intersubjectif entre des sujets. L’énoncé c’est un message transmis par l’autre. L’autre apparait comme ancien l’énonciateur qui a laissé des traces dans la réalité psychique et aussi comme celui qui énonce et qui existe dans la réalité actuelle. Je propose l’hypothèse du Surmoi comme la modalité de passage entre le sujet et la culture sous angle des énonces surmoïques venu de l’autre dans les liens par le biais du processus d’identification multiple, ce que construit de la toile de Surmoi multiple. Le Surmoi multiple permet de dépasser la problématique de la paradoxalité et de l’ambuiguité du Surmoi et permet de voir sa double inscription, pulsionnelle et culturelle à la fois. L’autre qui est inscrit dans son environnement groupal prolonge mon hypothèse à ce qui se passe entre le sujet et le groupe est véhiculé dans l’espace psychique interne du Surmoi ce que je montre au travers de la clinique des sujets en malêtre et en crise et avec une fragilité identitaire. Je tente une réflexion sur la capacité contenante de l’institution, représentée par un groupe social institué (le groupe des soignants, le groupe des éducateurs, des professeurs) qui sont placés dans une référence culturelle donnée. Je propose de voir le groupe comme espace potentiel constituant la groupalité interne du Surmoi comme une toile signifiant. Le Surmoi multiple est à la frontière psychique et il est aussi la forme potentielle entre ce qui est intrapsychique et intersubjective. La fonction de l’autre à travers ses énoncés liés au contexte d’énonciation, est un fil rouge. La thèse tente de montrer que l’énoncé de l’autre organise une scène fournissant une forme potentielle comme une des traces multiples et surmoïques de l’autre chez un autre. La consciance morale – le sens interne qui guide est situé dans le Surmoi autant que la moralité et la culture interiorisé. Les lois sociales et la métacadre permettant de „vivre ensemble” fondent la condition humaine d’un sujet dans l’intitution. La clinique montre que les sujets qui souffrent déposent leur malêtre dans le groupe, qui s’organise comme une scène. Quand la culture portée par ce groupe possède les principes donnant un dispositif opérant, le cadre acquiert aussi une fonction contenante. Le lien entre le sujet et autrui est vu comme un échange d’une scène à une autre scène, ce qui convoque la figure de l’intrus et de l’étranger. Dans la rencontre avec le sujet il s’agit de transformer l’intrus en étranger familier. Par conséquent la quête du lien d’altérité est mise en question
Through this thesis I question the Superego instance, emphasising its processing aspect. The Superego process is constant and very complex. The dynamic and topical work of the Superego is linked with the categorical, economic work of togetherness of statements that frame and reorganise the psychological movement. The togetherness of Superego statement as a sort of internal language is built in the inter subjective link between persons. The statement is a message transmitted by the ‹ Other ›. The Other appears as the former speaker who has left traces in the psychic reality of the person and also exists and sets the current reality. I propose the hypothesis of the Superego as a transfer mode between the person and his surroundings culture in terms of Superego statements passed from the ‹ other › within the bounds of multiple identifications. A process that builds the canvas of a multiple Superego. Multiple Superego overcomes the problem of paradoxical and ambiguity of simple Superego and demonstrates its double registrar, both drive and cultural. The Other one, registered in his group environment prolongs my hypothesis of what happens between the person and his group carried in the internal psychic space of the Superego. I demonstrate this with clinical cases, the persons with fragile identity in identity crisis. I try to reflect on the restraining capacity of the Institution , represented by an establish social group (eg the caregiver group, the educator group, the teachers) which is placed in a given cultural reference. I propose to see the group as a potential element (space) that will look into the multiple Superego as a workable canvas. Multiple superego is as the psychological border and it is also the potential form between what is intrapsychic and intersubjective.The mental capacity and the function of the other one through his speaking statements related to his surrounding context is a red string of this thesis. The thesis attempts to show that the speaking statement the other one arrange both groupal and psychic space like an scene providing in potential possibility in a multiple traces of superego of the other in another.The moral consciance - the internal sense which guide is located in the Superego as much as internalized morality and culture. Social laws and meta-framework for "living together" based the human condition of each person in intitution. The clinic case shows the suffering person who deposit their pain and ilness on the group, which get organized as a psychic scene. When the culture carried by this group has the principles giving an operating device, the framework also acquires a containing function. The relationship between two persons or person and the others is seen as an exchange from one psychic scene to another, which is associated with problematic of un intruder and un uncanny. In this case the encounter consiste to transform the intruder in familiar uncanny. Away the quest of otherness (alterity) is in question

Abstract:

The present essay examines the linguisitc conceptualisation of otherness in the present party platforms of the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD, Social Democratic Party of Germany) and the Christliche Demokratische Union Deutschlands (CDU, Christian Democratic Union of Germany). The language and the textual structure of their party platforms is analysed, its function described and compared with each other by using representative text excerpts. The theoretical background of this study is grounded in cultural studies. The methodological framework consists of a combination of critical discourse analysis and textual analysis. Criterias of the linguistic analysis are: coherence (including implicit meanings, propositions and presuppositions), modality, thematic roles, deixis and pronouns and keywords. 

 

The study shows that the Other is cleary conceptualized by using binary oppositions whereas those who are reperesented by we can not always be clearly identified. By using both objective and subjective modality authority and legitimacy are linguistically constructed by those who represent we. The analysis shows that stipulations and issues are mentioned which are supposed to be abided by the Others without being justified by those who represent we. Consequently the Other is excluded. Analysing both party platforms shows that the Other is  subcategorized, too. Myths about the Others are confirmed by representing a stereotypical image of the Other through language. However there are differences in the linguistic conceptualization of alterity. The representatives of CDU speak out more explicitly on specific issues concerning the Other than representatives of SPD do. Consequently SPD’s statements concerning the Other are more implicit.

 

The study shows that meaning is created by language and that myths of the Other are reproduced in political discourse.

Abstract:
This chapter explains that we encounter alterity in two main domains: in ourselves, and in the external world. In the first case alterity is in the involuntary dimension of ourselves, as (for instance) our un-chosen ‘character’, including needs, desires, emotions, and habits. In the external world, alterity is encountered in the challenging otherness of the events and in the meetings with other persons that constellate our life. This involuntary dimension of my being the person that I am includes what is a priori given in my existence, the raw material that constitutes the sedimented dispositions of my being and sets the boundaries of my freedom. The roots of the involuntary are my history, my body, and the world into which I am thrown. A relevant part of the involuntary is drive. Drive is the principle of all obscurity in my will. Its two basic profiles are need and desire.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that at the heart of alterity lies a double paradox. First, alterity speaks of eccentricity, of the non-coincidence of the Self with itself. Most of the philosophical anthropologies of the last hundred years emphasize that the phenomenon of eccentricity is indigenous to human existence, and characterize Man as an eccentric being. Fundamental to the understanding of human subjectivity is clarifying the ways self-awareness is structured as an experience inextricably entangled with an experience of a basic otherness. To be a human being is to be in juxtaposition with, and sometimes to feel in opposition to, a set of given involuntary dispositions in front of which we need to voluntarily take a position.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter argues that the ground of human existence is dialogue and that from this human existence receives its significance and foundation. To be human means to be in dialogue with alterity. We encounter alterity in two main domains of our life: in ourselves, and in the external world. In the first case alterity is in the involuntary dimension of ourselves, our un-chosen ‘character’, including needs, desires, emotions, and habits. In the external world, alterity is encountered in the challenging otherness of the events and in the meetings with other persons that constellate our life. Dialogue is a kind of ‘experience’: it is not merely a verbal exchange, an exchange of information; rather, dialogue lets something happen. What emerges in dialogue is neither mine nor yours, and hence transcends the interlocutors’ subjective opinions. Dialogue moves in unpredictable directions to experience something that is new for both interlocutors. Something unexpected comes about in dialogue.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that mental symptoms are the interruption of this dialogue through which we strive to build and maintain our personal identity and our position in the world. The person is engaged in trying to cope with, solve, and make sense of the basic disturbing experiences stemming from her clash with alterity. When a symptom emerges, the line of the pathogenic trajectory is the following: (1) a disproportion of alterity and the person’s resources for understanding, of emotions and rationality, of pathos and logos, of otherness and selfhood, bringing about a disturbing metamorphosis of self and world experience; (2) a miscarried auto-hermeneutics or self-interpretation of one’s abnormal experiences and of the transformations of the life-world that they bring about; (3) the fixation in a psychopathological structure in which the dialectics between the person and alterity gets lost.

Abstract:
This chapter narrates the career of Lola Montez (c. 1820–1861), a performer who trafficked in staging the Spanish dancer as a figure of otherness on the stages of nineteenth-century Europe. It addresses both performative qualities and written discourse, in particular Montez's own writings, as strategies for self-fashioning. Here, discourse itself gains a performative potential, pronouncing into being a successful persona that relied on a variety of marketing tactics. The chapter casts new light on dance history by exploring how a dilettante female performer used constructions of gender and alterity to forge a star identity for herself. It argues that Montez was uniquely aware of the discourses surrounding the profession of dance in the nineteenth century, and manipulated them to her own advantage.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter reformulates the concept of ‘conflict’, arguing that conflicts do not inevitably involve an unconscious desire—they involve plurality. Conflicts go with being human because we are intrinsically plural, as we are inhabited by alterity. Plurality implies disunion. This does not amount merely to internal conflicts in a strict psychoanalytical sense; rather, it is the ubiquitous presence of non-coincidence and eccentricity. Human existence constantly escapes any coinciding with an essence. Disunion means that I am called to take a position in front of myself, and more specifically in front of the otherness I experience in my existence. One does not coincide with his experience. To be human is to deal with this reflective duplicity by taking upon myself the responsibility for articulating, making sense of, coping with, and appropriating. All this is explained through a clinical example: post partum depression.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter argues that human existence is stained by the tragic experience of our failed encounter with the Other. Mental pathology is a miscarried attempt to deal with the suffering that stems from the intolerability of the awareness of the Other’s radical alterity. Our incapacity to recognize the Other is the mark of being human, not a subjective inability. In our tending towards the Other we experience the Other as unattainable. The essence of the Other is its otherness: the Other can never be fully appropriated, but only approximated, as a frustrating limitation for our desire and of our capacity for understanding. This failure in encountering the Other leads to a state of suffering such as to generate defensive shelters that develop into fixed forms of miscarried existence and become part of the spectrum of what we regard as mental pathology.
