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,

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 o

The current migration crisis has put significant strain on the European Union and its member states.

This is done primarily with reference to identity construction through the framing of the Other, in this case the migrant, as an unwante

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

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 co

Abstract:

This study is an interdisciplinary one that draws on disability studies, biblical studies and Christian theology. Specifically, it reads the book of Job as a study of otherness in order to arrive at ways that the book contributes to a Christian theology of disability. The book of Job explores the ways that human beings may be over, under, against and with each other and God. It raises riddles about these questions (Job 1–2), presents Job’s passionate wrestle with the questions (Job 3–26) and then his attempt to reduce divine otherness to a matter of piety and ethics, and to inscribe human ot

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

Abstract:

This thesis is a reading of Raymond Carver’s edited and unedited writing with respect to unsymbolised mental spaces. Carver’s edited writing is characterized by clipped sentences and solid silences and is often defined as ‘minimalist’. His unedited writing is more garrulous and sprawling, which has led critics to label it ‘realist’. I consider how these different forms of language present different kinds of resistances to clear meaning. I read these resistances in terms of different mentally unsymbolised spaces – unconscious spaces that resist symbolisation. In doing so, I consider the psychoa

This practice-based research examines the notion of the in-between of mark and surface within visual art. Drawing on Bracha L. Ettinger’s Matrixial theory, I approach the in-between as a non-oppositional state that has the potential to redefine relationships between self and other in art practice. The questions I focus on are: How can the relationship between the artist’s marks and the surface move beyond an opposition or clear overlay such that an in-between state may be accessed? How can the relationship between work and space shift in a similar manner? How does accessing this in-between cha

Abstract:

Japan is currently facing a demographic shift that will alter the nation’s social, cultural, and economic institutions significantly in the years to come. Due to a declining and aging population, foreigners have steadily comprised a greater portion of Japan’s population and workforce for the past three decades. Although foreigners currently comprise only 2% of Japan’s population, some experts predict an increase to between 8% and 27% by 2050. If even the most conservative of these estimates are true, this would raise serious questions about Japan’s future. Historically, Japan has relegated cul

"Sounding" implies the process of producing music or noise, but it also suggests the attempt to make meaning of what one hears. "Otherness" in this study refers to a foreign presence outside of the listening body, as well as to an otherness that is already inherent within. Sounding otherness enacts a bi-directional exchange between a culturally different other and an embodied self; this exchange generates what I term the sonic uncanny, whereby the other

Such hermeneutical understanding is achieved through acknowledging my 'dialogical, democratical and pedagogical being in the world' (my life) as an unfolding

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to explore French travel literature on Polynesia as a form of translation. It analyses how travel writers interpret and textualize their experiences of the foreign culture in order to create a version of Polyneslan otherness. Following on from Lawrence Venuti's theory of foreignization and domestication, it is assumed that all translations necessarily manipulate the source culture into forms that are determined by the receiving culture, and that fidelity to an original is, therefore, impossible. Ethical potential is considered to lie in a translation that goes against the nor

The aim of this dissertation is to trace the development of Lawrence’s thought about the interdependence between language, selfhood and otherness in the period between the composition of Women in Love and the closing years of his literary career. Around the time of Women in Love’s inception, Lawrence saw the relationship between self and language in terms of the gap separating the speaker’s experience from his utterance. This gap, Lawrence believed, could be bridged through a type of verbal expression that was qualitatively different from the static language of representation on which Western

It will be shown that, against such a backdrop, fiction for young people written between 2001 and 2012 works to counter and challenge mainstream discourses prevalent in, for example; the media.

Abstract:

Hokkaido has been essential to Japan's modern nation-state building project. The region's importance was initially promoted through a polysemic quest for macro security; to secure, or fix, the northern island into the structure of modem Japan and in-so-doing to provide safety or security. Security was sought politically, militarily, and through linking economics and recourses, notably the extraction of coal and lumber and the production of food. Dairy farming became a key industry, central in defining the contemporary popular image of Hokkaido. Ironically, despite the importance of securing an

Abstract:

This text is written as a masterexam within an important Art institution in Stockholm as Konstfack, where the researcher has been studying interior and furniture design for the last five years. Therefore, it is the result of the knowledge accumulated during that period of time, in combination with the socio-cultural baggage that characterizes her identity and positioning towards the world. There are many ways of defining architecture and design. Also, within the concept of architecture, there are plenty of branches. This study is, as said before, a sum of the interpretation of how to use the e

Abstract:

<p>This thesis examines John Berryman’s poetry of loss together with four different theoretical perspectives. It is the purpose of the study to involve Berryman’s poetry and critical theory in a dialogue which attempts to break down the hierarchy that positions theory as the subject and literature or poetry as the object of study. Instead, by focusing on the otherness of each discourse, that is, what could be called the unconscious of Berryman’s poetry of loss and the language of theory, poetry and theory can be seen to presuppose and mutually imply each other. Those of Berryman’s poems mainly
