Abstract:

The goal of this article is to juxtapose the trickster model suggested by William J. Hynes in the text Mapping the Characteristics of Mythic Tricksters: A Heuristic Guide with the stories of Sisyphus and Autolycus. A philological method proposed in this article is based on a way of understanding a myth narrowly, as a narrative with a specific meaning, which can be expressed in any literary genre. According to this definition, every mythology which is available today is an attempt at presenting a story of particular mythical events and the fortunes of gods and heroes. Therefore, stories about Sisyphus and Autolycus are myths that have been transformed and which in their essence may have multiple meanings and cannot be attributed to one artist. The philological method is, in this way, based on isolating all fragments of the myth relating to the above protagonists and subsequently presenting them as a coherent narrative.

Abstract:

Dans le tout recent ouvrage New Technologies for learning: contribution of ICT to innovation in education, les auteurs rapprochent les merveilles multimédiatiques du mythe de Sisyphe:“In the history of education the introduction of any new technological tool was accompanied with high expectations regarding its innovating power for learning and instruction. After a period of sporadic use, and some disappointment about the obtained learning outcomes, the arrival of any new technological tool generated a new set of expectations, limited use and resulting frustration. This is what we call the ‘Myth of Sisyphus’, the king of Corinth condemned for ever to roll his stone up a mountain in Hades only to have it roll down again when he neared the top.” (Dillemans, et al. 1998:41).

Full text

Abstract:

In this article, Camus’s reading of the myth of Sisyphus provides an “entrepreneurial” perspective on management education. Traditionally management has been constrained by the conceptually limiting horizon of management knowledge and practice, with an emphasis on control and efficiency. As such, learning processes have come to reproduce a manipulable homo oeconomicus. Sisyphus’s desire to create, the “absurdity” of his dignified revolt, in short, his “entrepreneurship,” exemplify a transformative and playful force central to learning processes. Embracing the opening toward a metaphorical style, this article introduces Sisyphean “entrepreneurship” as a novel way of thinking about and organizing learning processes in management education.

Abstract:

The identification of archetypes in literary texts follows the path of deep structural analysis, as surface reading will dwell ordinarily at the level of incidents. This research is driven by the configuration of the myth of Sisyphus in Richard Wright’s Native Son. Our claim is that the myth figures in the text as a shade of the crime and punishment sequence, with an absurdist twist. This claim is substantiated following the archetypal literary theory, which employs to a great extent the methods of discourse analysis. The novel has often been read along the ideological questions that racism raises and attempts to answer. This essay marks a deviation from that seemingly jaundiced view of literature. What this essay foregrounds is the eternal regeneration of narratives, an eternalness that bears the nature of the archetype in its repetitiveness. This necessitates the choice of archetypal literary criticism as the theory for this research. To reach its conclusions, this article adopts a qualitative approach, taking its data from the events in the novel, and investigating the mythic orientations at work in the novel, with the view that at the forefront of this is the myth of Sisyphus, a shade of the myth of crime and punishment. This article does not account for the sociocultural frame of racism as a material but understands it in the wider conception of myth, as a figuration of the Sisyphean myth which shares with the racism in the text the quality of perpetuity or seeming endlessness. We show that racism is in this akin to the sufferings and struggles of Sisyphus, that it is Sisyphean.

The cover of this issue of Biofeedback shows a depiction of the mythical Sisyphus, condemned for all eternity to push an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down the hill. The myth serves as a symbol for all of the medical and nonbiofeedback factors that can hinder biofeedback and neurofeedback treatment. It is our hope that this Special Issue may aid future practitioners to escape the fate of Sisyphus. (Thanks to Shutterstock for this photo).

Abstract:

Abstract This article discusses Sisyphus as a recurrent (philosophical) image in Samuel Beckett’s work. Starting from his prewar reading notes, it moves on to the 1940s and the radio play All That Fall (1956), which is studied in light of Albert Camus’s essays Le Mythe de Sisyphe (1942) and L’ Homme révolté (1951). By focussing on how the radio play deals with the absurd, revolt, suicide and murder, the article reads All That Fall as one of Beckett’s most critical but overlooked engagements with Camus, merging classical and modern versions of the character Sisyphus.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractIn Sisyphus Outdone (2012), Nathanaël’s particular tribute to Albert Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), the reader faces a challenging hybrid text in which the verbal and visual dimensions intermingle to produce an idiosyncratic type of narrative. Fragmentary, elliptical, a web of quotations, dictums, and meditations on the difficult condition of the individual in the current image-saturated scenario of the first decades of the 21st century, the text manages to propose a rigorous reflection upon crucial aspects of representation from History and temporality, to the Subject now, photography, catastrophe theory, architecture, failure and translation, among the most salient. Sisyphus, I suggest, exhibits a strategic photopoetics which operates as a self-reflective mechanism contributing to the persistence of an impermanent liminal subject and to the (re)production of textuality and the proliferation of voices against silence.

In The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus advocates scornful defi ance in the face of our absurd, meaningless existence. Although Nagel agrees that human life possesses an absurd dimension, he objects to Camus’ existentialist „dramatics”. For Nagel, absurdity arises from the irreducible tension between our subjective and objective perspectives on life. The article offers a critical reconstruction of Camus’ and Nagel’s positions, and elaborates Nagel’s critique of Camus in order to argue that humour is an appropriate response to absurdity.

Abstract:

A literary work fascinates scholars and critics in different ways which may be based on literary experience or interest. In whichever perspective, literature engages the mind with multiplicity of interpretations. Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea and Akwanya’s Orimili have been studied in varied ways but no study, as far as this research is concerned, has looked at either or both texts from the view of configuration of the myth of Sisyphus. Here is a reading that intends to look at the mythic patterns in the two works with respect to the characters of Santiago and Ekwenze Orimili, the protagonists. In the study, attempt is made to define the Sisyphean features, and establish how the patterns are configured in the two texts. The study uses the tool of archetypal criticism, from the perspectives of Northrop Frye, to examine these similar discursive formations in the texts. The study establishes that mythic thinking gives literature rootedness in tradition, and universal appeal.

Full text

Abstract:

This is not only the story of an actor whose character began as Clytemnestra and became Daedalus, but of how the slow and arduous discovery of that character helped to form and transform the Odin Teatret production of Mythos – a collage of characters and places, their relationships rooted not in cause and effect but in action and reaction – and of how that production itself emerged by following both actual and metaphysical threads through the Cretan labyrinth. The search takes the form of a funeral wake which is interrupted by the arrival of Oedipus, Cassandra, Daedalus, Odysseus, Medea, Orpheus, and Sisyphus, who introduce the last revolutionary of the twentieth century to the immortality of myth. The author, Julia Varley, who herself took the role of Daedalus, has been with Odin Teatret since 1976. The production of Mythos, based on poems by Henrik Norbrandt and directed by Eugenio Barba, is at present on tour, and expected to be presented at the Salisbury Festival in June 2001.

Abstract:

The myth of Sisyphus speaks to an excruciating cycle of relief and suffering that is central in addiction. This article considers the long shadow cast by drug use, which often constitutes a psychic takeover of personality, with healthier aspects of the self and other interests subsumed by the seductive thrall of intoxication. Such shadows can manifest in groups that promote sober dialogue and eschew anti-dialogue/group process. A means of strengthening psychic muscle, psychodynamic groups are shown to temper the destructive pull towards euphoric or mindless states. In recovery there is a provocative mixing of memory and desire, and recollections of drug highs in groups serve dangerous desires in their enactment of a talking high. Movement towards freedom from drugs, which includes the building of new identities, must be continually fought for. Clinical examples illustrate these points, and point to the devastating impact of addiction in families and the identity voids associated with destructive drinking and drugging.

Abstract:

The two world-wars and its massive destruction and horror had a great impact on human mind. Inevitably complete cynicism , pessimism , alienation , nothingness , existentialism reflected in the literature of that time. Pinter's play The Birthday Party (1957) is based on the philosophy of existentialism which later on became the source for the " Theatre of the Absurd ". Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre gave the philosophy of existentialism according to which the universe and man's experience in it are meaningless. All attempts by human mind to understand the world are futile . All philosophical systems and religion which claim that they can enable man to make sense of the world are delusive and useless. Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus (1942) wrote :- " In a universe that is suddenly deprived of illusions and of light , man feels a stranger. ... This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting constitutes the feeling of Absurdity. "

Full text

Abstract:

A medical view on ‘the value of life’ can be inferred from medical accounts of the quality of life: a life has value if it embodies certain qualities. Scales have been developed to quantify quality of life. While the term ‘quality of life’ is used frequently in everyday discourse, perceptions of what it might actually mean differ greatly and are often incompatible. This incompatibility can be illustrated through an examination and extension of the Greek myth of Sisyphus. The different models explored in this paper rest on ‘significant toil’, ‘choice’, ‘happiness or well-being’, or ‘social factors’ being the prerequisite for quality of existence. These models are incommensurable and, as intangible concepts, cannot be quantified. Decision-making in medicine does not require a complex evaluation of the quality of life: it consists of the doctor's offer of treatment based on the best evidence, and the patient's consent to, or refusal of, that offer. Apart from the need to obtain consent, the main ethical constraint on the doctor is equity.

Full text

Abstract:

The article analyses V. Domontovych’s biographical novel “The lonely traveller is heading along the lonely way” as a fictional specimen of the philosophy of existentialism in the Ukrainian prose of the 40s of the XXth c. that proves the intellectuality of Ukrainian literature. It is proved that the main statements of this direction in the philosophy of the twentieth century penetrate the entire work from the beginning to its completion at all levels, starting from the concept-headline, the essence of the central hero of the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, plot-compositional features, means of shaping, external and internal structure. Understanding of the work through the prism of this problem is carried out with the help of involvement of relevant considerations of Socrates, Hryhorii Skovoroda (the idea of finding an own place in life – “know yourself”), Albert Camus, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Nikolai Berdyaev (“Sisyphean work” (“The Myth of Sisyphus”) for the sake of establishing oneself ; a comparative description of Van Gogh and Mersot from the story “The Stranger”: the conflict between the person and the society, the problem of “the other”, voluntary “suffering – the highest law of life”, suffering as one of the main existential things, coming/escaping to God, testing yourself by a religion as your destination, disappointment in the voluntary apostolate, etc.), as well as the thoughts of Soren Kierkegaard, Carl Jaspers, Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung. The analysis of the work is carried out accordingly in the context of Ukrainian and world literature.

Abstract:

Resumen: El artículo examina la interconexión entre los principios fundamentales de la sociabilidad humana y el elemento de lo divino. Específicamente, se enfoca en la estrecha conexión entre las nociones de dios y justicia, establecidas en los trabajos de tradiciones pre-filosóficas y filosóficas, es decir Hesíodo y Platón. Se presta especial atención a los motivos, que pueden ser compartidos por Hesíodo y Platón en relación con los principios que subyacen en la vida social y política humana. La investigación comienza con una referencia a la imagen de Zeus como garantía de justicia, permitiendo una vida comunitaria plenamente humana y ordenada (Hes. Op. 213-285). Sobre esta base, se plantea la cuestión de hasta qué punto Platón se basa en esta imagen y en qué medida promueve la visión de Hesíodo en sus propios escritos. La respuesta se busca a través de un análisis detallado del mito de los orígenes de la cultura en el Protágoras (320d-322d). Entre otros ecos de Hesíodo, el pasaje contiene la imagen clave de Zeus que proporciona a la humanidad justicia y vergüenza, es decir, principios indispensables de la vida social en las ciudades. En cuanto al problema de autoría de toda la narración, presentada por Protágoras en un escenario dialógico, el artículo defiende la posición es platónica en sus puntos esenciales. Los argumentos a favor de esta orientación incluyen: 1) la detección de diferencias significativas en comparación con otras partes del tratamiento sofístico de la cuestión de los orígenes de la cultura (a este respecto, se examinará el fragmento del Sisyphus, B25 en particular); 2) resaltar elementos de la antropología y teología platónica presentes en el mito. Aquí, un punto de referencia importante son las Leyes de Platón, especialmente una larga exposición sobre las amenazas del ateísmo en el libro X (889a-906c), que rechaza el convencionalismo como un modelo explicativo de coexistencia política. Con un análisis textual detallado, el artículo pretende mostrar cómo Platón desarrolla y transforma la concepción de los principios de la sociabilidad humana, tanto en respuesta a sus predecesores como en contraste con la discusión contemporánea. La interpretación propuesta enfatiza el papel fundamental de Dios en la organización de los asuntos humanos, como una característica constante del tratamiento de este tema por parte de Platón, también reconocible en la estructura del mito de Protágoras.Palabras clave: Hesíodo, Platón, Protágoras, mito, origen, cultura, dios, justicia.Abstract: The paper examines the interconnection between fundamental principles of human socia-bility and the element of the divine. Specifically, it focusses on the close connection between the notions of god and justice, established in the works of pre-philosophical and philosophical tra-ditions, namely Hesiod and Plato. Special attention is paid to motives, which may be shared by Hesiod and Plato regarding principles underlying human social and political life. The examina-tion opens with a reference to Hesiod’s image of Zeus as a guarantee of justice, enabling a fully human and well-ordered communal life (Hes. Op. 213-285). On this basis, the question is raised to what degree Plato draws from this basic image and to what extent he prolongs Hesi-od’s vision in his own writings. The answer is sought in a detailed analysis of the myth of the origins of culture in Plato’s Protagoras (Prot. 320d-322d). Among other Hesiodic echoes, the passage contains Zeus’ key image providing humankind with justice and shame, i.e. indispen-sable principles of social life in the cities. Concerning the authorship problem of the whole nar-ration, presented by Protagoras in the dialogue’s dramatic setting, the paper defends the posi-tion that the story is Platonic in its essential points. Arguments in favour of this conviction in-clude: 1) detection of significant differences in comparison with other pieces of sophistic treat-ment of the issue of the origins of culture (in this respect, the Sisyphus fragment B25 will be ex-amined in particular), 2) highlighting elements of Platonic anthropology and theology present in the myth. Here, a significant reference point is Plato’s Laws, especially a long exposition on threats of atheism in Book 10 (889a-906c), refusing conventionalism as an explanatory model of political co-existence. With a thorough textual analysis, the paper aims to show how Plato develops and transforms the conception of underlying principles of human sociability, both in response to his predecessors and in confrontation with ongoing contemporary discussion. The proposed interpretation emphasises god’s fundamental role in the arrangement of human af-fairs, as a constant feature of Plato’s treatment of the issue, also recognisable in the structure of Protagoras’ myth.Keywords: Hesiod, Plato, Protagoras, myth, origin, culture, god, justice.

Abstract:

This article seeks to an approach between the poetry of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, in Feeling of the world (1940), and the philosophy of Albert Camus, in The Myth of Sisyphus - the work of art as adventure of a spiritual destiny (2012), for, to think through by the language praticed by Drummond in two poems – Poem of necessity and Holding hands –, the be in the world and the passing of the man's condition of the being ontic to the be ontological, using also Durand (2012) and another theorists. Making use, as methodology, by the bibliographical research, and theory express of poetic text, concepts and analysis based on the phenomenological critique. Still in an interdisciplinary approach, to reflect the subject and its constitution as speech, will use theories of French line of discourse analysis (DA) and the line Anglo-Saxon (ADC), whose leading exponents are respectively, Michel Pêcheux and Norman Fairclough, relying on the concept of dialectical materialism. O Homem Absurdo na filosofia camusiana e na poesia drummondiana: a linguagem como fonte da (trans)formação Este artigo busca aproximações entre a poesia de Carlos Drummond de Andrade, em Sentimento do Mundo (1940), e a filosofia de Albert Camus, em O mito de Sísifo – a obra de arte como aventura de um destino espiritual (2012), para, por meio da linguagem praticada por Drummond em dois poemas – Poema da necessidade e Mãos dadas –, pensar o estar no mundo e a passagem do homem da condição de ser ôntico para ser ontológico, valendo-se, também, de Durand (2012) e de outros teóricos. Utiliza, como metodologia, a pesquisa bibliográfica e expressa teorias do texto poético, conceitos e análises com base na crítica fenomenológica. Ainda, numa atitude interdisciplinar, para refletir sobre o sujeito e sua constituição como discurso, baseia-se nas teorias da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa (AD) e de linha anglo-saxã (ADC), cujos principais expoentes são, respectivamente, Michel Pêcheux e Norman Fairclough, apoiando-se na concepção do materialismo dialético.

Resumen:El proceso de reforma de los Estados latinoamericanos en los años 80’s estuvo encaminado hacia una serie de acciones que buscaron la ‘modernización’ de acuerdo con el binomio de la democratización de la vida política y la eficiencia en la administración del desarrollo económico y social. Sin embargo, la dinámica estratégica de estas reformas pretendió, más bien, la re-institucionalización de los conflictos y el impulso de la acumulación de capital en la región, procesos que fueron orquestados por las pautas y los imperativos que impuso la reestructuración del sistema capitalista mundial.Palabras clave: Democratización, Modernización, Modernidad, Reforma política, Reforma del Estado, Reestructuración del Estado, Neoliberalismo, Relación Estado-Mercado, Relación Mercado-Democracia.**********************************************************The myth of Sisyphus and the Latin-American democracy Theoretical and conceptual elements for an analysis of two decades of reforms in the Latin American States (70’s and 8’s)Abstract:The process of the reform of Latin-American states during the eighties was headed towards a series of actions looking for the modernization, taking into account the coupling of democratization with political life and the economic development administration efficiency.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the main markers of intertextuality in the novels of S. Protsyuk «The Rose of a Ritual Pain» and «Masks Falling Slowly» and their functioning in the text plane of the work. The intertextual potential of S. Protsyuk’s biographical novels manifests itself in the archetychtuality that manifests itself in the mixing of genre codes (artistic biography, epistolary, memoirs, essays), and the actual intertextuality claimed mainly by ancient Greek myths and mythologems (Cassandra, Dionysus, Ariadne, Orpheus, Eternal Woman, Eve, Sisyphus, Scylla and Charybda, the Trojan Kingdom), as well as sleepy myths, representing a powerful dream space. Artistically built in the structure of works images of ancient Greek mythology contribute to the assimilation of the tragic world perception of the heroes (Kassandra – Vasyl Stefanyk), hedonistic and idealized conception of life creation (Dionysus – Volodymyr Vynnychenko, Orpheus – Volodymyr Vynnychenko), risky and adventurous lifestyle (between Scylla and Kharybda) etc. The names of famous artists and politicians (Grygoriy Skovoroda, Confucius, Seneca, Neron, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Maupassant, Hitler, Stalin) have been introduced into the text plane of the novel «The Rose of a Ritual Pain», explaining in most cases the way of thinking, perception and understanding, as well as the creative manner, intellectual and spiritual development of Volodymyr Vynnychenko. The method of color matching used by S. Protsyuk senses the intertextual background of the novel about Vasyl Stefanyk, combined with quotations from Ukrainian folk songs. Much attention in the novel «Rose of a Ritual Pain» is paid to the existential motives of the work, distinguishing the key category of choice. The archetype of Mother, expressed in the novel about Vasyl Stefanyk, reinforces the intertextual potential of the work, distinguishing motives of grief, amount, loss.

Abstract:

The stolen death: About the play Hledáme strašidlo by Hanuš Hachenburg from 1943The puppet theatre play Hledame strašidlo by Hanuš Hachenburg was written in the Terezín/Theresienstadt ghetto in 1943 and over 50 years was hidden in the archive until it was presented to readers and viewers in the 1990s — but it turned out to be still surprisingly valid and cogent. The author, a 14-year-old prisoner of the ghetto, used the conventions of the puppet theatre, the carnival and the fairy tales. The mythical or fairy-tale-like “timelessness” allowed him to show the absurdity of Nazism and — yet unnamed — the Holocaust. The main character of the play, the King, captures Death itself, which soon becomes so ordinary and kitschy that no one is afraid of her. The confinement of Death — a motif known, among others, from the myth of Sisyphus — is an important theme of the theatre in Terezín; it appears also in the German-speaking opera by Peter Kien and Viktor Ullmann, Der Keiser von Atlantis Emperor of Atlantis. In this article, I show how the old themes of enslaved Death and the dance macabre between extasy and destruction become the symbols of the war, and indeed of the 20th century, which culminates in the devastating forces of the great ideologies and in which there can be found the origins of retrotopia, which is now, according to Zygmunt Bauman, the dominating point of view in East- and West-European and in American discourse. Únos smrti. O terezίnske divadelnί hře Hledáme strašidlo Hanuše Hachenburga z roku 1943Divadelní hra Hledáme strašidlo od Hanuše Hachenburga byla napsána v ghettu Terezín / Theresienstadt v roce 1943 a více než padesát let byla ukryta v archivu, aby v 90. letech si našla cestu pro své čtenáře a diváky — a ukázalo se, že je překvapivě platná a přitažlivá. Autor, čtrnáctiletý vězeň ghetta, využil konvencí loutkového divadla, karnevalu a pohádek. Mýtická nebo pohádková „nadčasovost“ mu umožnila ukázat absurditu nacismu a — tehdy ještĕ nemenovaného — holocaustu. Hlavní postava hry, Král, zachytí samotnou Smrt, která se brzy stane tak obyčejnou a kyčovitou, že se ji nikdo nebude bát. Únos smrti — motiv známý mimo jiné i z mýtu Sisyfa — je důležitým tématem divadla v Terezíně; objevuje se také v německojazyčné operě Petera Kiena a Viktora Ullmanna Der Keizer von Atlantis Císař Atlantidy. V tomto textu ukazuji, jak se staré motivy zotročené Smrti a danse macabre mezi extázi a zničení stávají symbolem války a celého dvacátého století, v který vyvrcholily ničivými sily velké ideologie a kde lze nalézt počátky retrotopie, která je podle Zygmunta Baumana dominantním hlediskem ve východním, západoevropským a americkým diskurzu.
