Full text
Abstract:
This book contains studies on the symbolic significance of the landscape for the communities inhabiting the central Anatolian plateau and the Upper Euphrates and Tigris valleys in the 2nd-1st millennia BC. Some of the scholars who attended to the international conference Sacred Landscapes of Hittites and Luwians held in Florence in February 2014, present here contributions on the religious, symbolic and social landscapes of Anatolia between the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age. Archaeologists, hittitologists and historians highlight how the ancient populations perceived many elements of the environment, like mountains, rivers and rocks, but also atmospheric agents, and natural phenomena as essential part of their religious and ideological world. Analysing landscapes, architectures and topographies built by the Anatolian communities in the second and first millennia BC, the framework of a symbolic construction intended for specific actions and practices clearly emerges.

Abstract:
Wicked Philosophy. Philosophy of Science and Vision Development for Complex Problems provides an overview of the philosophy of the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities, and explores how insights from these three domains can be integrated to help find solutions for the complex, ‘wicked’ problems we are currently facing. The core of a new science-based vision is complexity thinking, offering a meta-position for navigating alternative paradigms and making informed choices of resources for projects involving complex problems. The book also brings design thinking into problem-solving and teaching, fostering construction of an integrative approach that bridges structure and action amplified by transdisciplinary engagement of stakeholders in society. It is not always easy to set up a succesfull philosophy course for students in other programs. The author of Wicked Philosophy, Coyan Tromp, has experience in designing courses on philosophy of science for various Bachelor programs. You can find two examples here. The first example is for an introductory course to an Interdisciplinary Philosophy of Science, which is specifically suited for programs focusing at complex problems such as sustainability or health issues. The second example is a program for a course on (Philosophy of) Science in a Post-Truth Society. More examples are also available (e.g. a program in which Philosophy of Science is combined with Vision Development and Future Scenarios). In addition to the program, the author can also provide a workbook with lesson plans, both for online and on campus settings as well as additional literature suggestions for Dutch and French programmes.

Abstract:
What is the job that the term ‘human nature’ is expected to do? Three notions are prevalent but are problematic: (1) Distinguishing what is biological from what is cultural/environmental. Here the term fails. (2) Characterizing the defining features of humanity, thereby allowing us to be distinguished from other species. This stance is tenable but contributes little. (3) Characterizing what is universal or typical about humanity, because of our ‘evolved biological heritage’. Here the term is tenable but misleading and hence counterproductive. ‘Human nature’ is equally reciprocally caused by gene–culture coevolution and niche construction. Given that the term has little explanatory power but carries extensive baggage, we suggest that it should be abandoned. It can be replaced with descriptions of human behaviour and cognition as the product of socially mediated internal and external constructive processes operating over both developmental and evolutionary timescales.

Santos, Milton. The Nature of Space. Translated by Brenda Baletti. Duke University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/9781478021704.

Full text
Abstract:
In The Nature of Space, pioneering Afro-Brazilian geographer Milton Santos attends to globalization writ large and how local and global orders intersect in the construction of space. Santos offers a theory of human space based on relationships between time and ontology. He argues that when geographers consider the inseparability of time and space, they can then transcend fragmented realities and partial truths without trying to theorize their way around them. Based on these premises, Santos examines the role of space, which he defines as indissoluble systems of objects and systems of actions in social processes, while providing a geographic contribution to the production of a critical social theory.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter describes the close relationship between the mental faculty of attention and the physical faculty of orienting, and the importance of this relationship to the construction of artificial biomimetic systems. It reviews the importance of physical orienting to natural motor behavior, which places attention management at the core of all behaviors (“orienting is acting”), and the concomitant social role of physical orienting both in expressing and revealing the focus of a mind. The article highlights the efficiency of top-down and bottom-up processing for behavioral control, using map-based saliency processing as a model, and the suitability of map-based algorithms for parallel or bespoke computation. Given this, and the similar nature of the challenges faced by artificial and natural sensorimotor systems, it is argued that attention management may be a, if not the, key component of future artificial motor control systems.

Abstract:
The standard “democratic Athens” account becomes still more problematic when the terms of its construction are themselves questioned. As described in chapter one, this account takes for granted a modern, universalist template or model of social being. This theoretical template would have us presume the presence in antiquity of various complex societal phenomena, like discrete realms of nature and culture, sacred and secular, public and private, etc. It would have us presume the prevalence in the polis of specific social objects, like state, society, economy, religion, and the natural, pre-social individual. And it would have us presume the imaginability in Athens of modern-style, proto-liberal forms of equality, rights, and citizenship. Yet there is no explicit evidence that supports any of these presumptions. There is no evidence at all for any close correspondence between our modern theoretical model and ancient lived experience. Indeed, the evidence that we do have indicates quite unequivocally that our model’s various master categories would have made no sense at all to the classical Athenians as self-evidently real phenomena.

Full text
Abstract:
Until recently, research on organizational identity and paradox has proceeded on largely separate tracks. The purpose of this chapter is to strengthen connections between these two streams of work and demonstrate how each one can enhance the other. Scholarship on organizational identity surfaces multiple tensions around the nature of identity—including whether it is a social reality or social construction, stable or dynamic, multiple or singular, and comprised of contradictory or compatible elements. Paradox theory recasts these tensions as both/and rather than either/or choices. Building on recent organizational identity research which adopts a both/and approach for specific identity tensions, this chapter explores how organizational identity scholarship can benefit from more consistently embracing the paradoxical nature of a broader range of identity tensions, and how a more complex depiction of identity tensions can, in turn, enrich paradox theory.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter movement and renewed action against climate change all highlight the increasing gulf between narrowly based dominant political ideologies and popular demands for social justice, global health, environmentalism and human rights. This book examines for the first time the exclusionary nature of prevailing political ideologies. Bringing together theory, practice and the relationship between participation, political ideology and social welfare, the book offers a detailed critique of how the crucial move to more participatory approaches may be achieved. It is concerned with valuing people's knowledge and experience in relation to ideology, exploring its conventional social construction including counter ideology and the ideological underpinnings and relations of participation. It also offers a practical guide for change.

Guy, Donna J. Gender and Sexuality in Latin America. Edited by Jose C. Moya. Oxford University Press, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195166217.013.0013.

Full text
Abstract:
This article discusses gender and sexuality during the national period and the shift from women's history to the study of the social construction of both femininity and masculinity and of various forms of sexuality. It argues that this has problematized “the notion of universalized female oppression,” a trend in line with the general historiographical emphasis on individual and collective agency since the 1980s. Gender here is both a topic and a category of analysis. The discussion thus sheds much light on other aspects of—in this case, national—society, such as notions of nationality and citizenship, the nature of the modern state and law, populism, and revolutionary and feminist politics.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter elaborates on the mutually constitutive nature of the blueswoman's grievances and those of a burgeoning normative social body rife with social loss. It argues that if the discourse of racial difference is underpinned by nationalist gender and sexual anxieties, then it makes sense to examine culturally sanctioned figurations of black female sexuality to better understand the psychic legacies of our unacknowledged past of racial segregation and its link to the persistence of racial inequality in our “postracial” moment. Through a close reading of literary and cultural representations of blueswomen, the chapter explores normative American nationhood's reticence about its historical and social construction even as the former absorbs the shock of its social loss and unresolved grief. This cultural field of symbiotic melancholic states provides a context for understanding the co-implication of the material and the psychical in the performance of gender, class, and sexual choices and associations that bolster and stand in for racial identifications discreetly.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the ngillatun fertility ritual. The mechanisms by which Mapuche people set about achieving productive relation with certain divinities and with people from other ritual congregations are remarkably similar to the mechanisms by which they set about achieving productive relations in the everyday context. The communal nature of the ngillatun addresses a problem particular to societies in which forms of social organization occur primarily at a personal level, namely, that of how ideas about the construction of sociality come to be shared. However, this is but one facet of the meaning the ritual has for the people who participate in it. Its primary meaning is that which its participants hold it to be: an act of giving thanks and a request for providence in the coming year, as well as a party.

Full text
Abstract:
This article discusses the Bronze Age in Mongolia, a period when pastoralism, mobility, and interaction between regional communities increased dramatically. It also corresponds to the heyday of monumental construction and to the development of societal complexity in this region. After briefly discussing the local Bronze Age chronology, the discussion then turns to the topic of the transition to animal husbandry and to the development of mobile, equestrian pastoralism in particular—a phenomenon that seems to have taken place during the Late Bronze Age. Following this, I examine the monumental landscape as well as what is known from “settlements” before discussing the nature of Late Bronze Age social organization and societal complexity. The article ends with a brief exposé on bronze metallurgy before highlighting what are thought to be the critical issues that continue to challenge research on the Bronze Age in the region.
