Marxist Tradition

This is a critical discussion of Benedict Anderson’s best selling and highly influential Imagined Communities (1983/1996). This book is located within the Marxist tradition of deliberation on the crucial topic of nationhood and nationalism, which were both regarded as highly problematic in relation to the prospects for proletarian revolution. The manner in which this came to be very influential outside Marxism is discussed, in particular reference to some major features of symbolic interactionism. The final portion of the article deals with the considerable limitations of Marxism in general and the wider study of nationalism. In this respect it is argued that a global vision must necessarily precede any plausible discussion of the “units” that constitute the world as a whole. This vision is demonstrated through invocation of cartography and mapmaking. These are characterized as features of global cultures and consciousness, thereby strongly criticizing the emphasis on connectivity both in the work of Anderson and of most globalization theorists.

The dynamic power shift of the world picture from a dominant hegemonic power structure to a global consciousness of hybridity accelerated by postcolonialism in the late 20th century has opened up a way to re-read history from a new perspective. The major point in the process is the recognition of both the cultural and political others which had long been made invisible and silent by the politics of power. It is in this light that translation must be addressed by scholarly discourse. This paper focuses on war poems by Sadako Kurihara both in the time of and after the censorship that occurred during the occupation. Through the lens of translation and its modalities, I would propose here, history can be re-addressed. How the narrative of translation creates an arena where an individual voice is made to be heard in the language of others is closely related with the translator’s stance in the political context. The task of the translator today is much more important than ever, not only culturally but also ethically.

The aim of this study is to analyze tax compliance behavior through “neo ashabiyah” perpective. The core of ashabiyah originally were a kind of bond of kinship, tribal ties, ethnic solidarity or social cohesion. Neo ashabiyah is developed since we founded that there were uncompliance behavior in fulfill tax obligation among taxpayers in the world. By neo ashabiyah, this study would explained how social cohesion mechanism take a look at efforts to avoid tax as collective consciousness that unified and tied exceeding their ethnic, interfaith, cultural, and country barriers. The merge of these awareness is twisted in a global consciousness that characterized by no country is free from the problem of tax compliance. These avoiding consciousness is connected as well as communicate at non-rational traffic domain (known as sub conscious in the modern perspectives) that permeate their cultural, ethnic, and country. This means that the voluntary tax compliance can never be achieved by any means because the consciousness occupies in the field of irrational consciousness. Tax compliance, if it is reached is forced compliance and not voluntary compliance

In a short span, a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has captured global consciousness by significantly affecting the day-to-day life of humans and emerged as a public health emergency. Undoubtedly, it indicates that lessons learnt from the past epidemics of coronaviruses such as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), had not enough and thus left us ill-prepared to deal with the challenges that COVID-19 pandemic is currently posing. Currently, as a global pandemic, COVID-19 poses major challenges and thus forcing the entire world to lockdown. However, the disease has prepared humankind in facing such outbreaks at present as well as in the future. Besides, it has also taught numerous lessons that are worth considering and implementing to make the world a better reality.

This chapter argues that indigenous people were not merely recipients of history, playing bit roles to accommodate others' inventions or stage a forlorn act of resistance. They were inventors of modernity, innovators on a global stage who transformed the lives of people beyond their communities. The chapter draws on two areas of study that are usually treated separately: material culture and mythology. On the Northwest Coast, masks and “myths” are parts of a whole. Masks and stories unite to create a narrative, a packet of messages embedded in expression that convey a worldview, which individuals transmit to the world. Through an effort to recover the narratives embodied in masks yet masked by the Western archive, scholars may draw upon this stream of agency, reuniting objects and stories to read the messages indigenous performers and intellectuals have communicated.

Humans are storytelling creatures, and as, in the last century, the dominant medium for public narratives shifted from theater to cinema, cinema placed the fruits of performative labor before the eyes of the world in an unprecedented way. What actors do in front of the camera remains central to the attraction of cinema for audiences, and influences—even marks the standard for—performance styles in other audiovisual media. Indeed, one could go further: many of the figures discussed in the pages that follow became cultural and mythical icons in the global consciousness of their time. Audiences care about actors, the characters they create, and the responses they engender. Performances are even the reason some films are preserved. But beyond vague assertions about which performances are ineffably great, profoundly moving, hopelessly terrible, or cringe-worthy, relatively little discussion of what actors ...

AbstractThis essay focuses on the big books on distant parts of the world compiled by Olfert Dapper of Amsterdam between 1668 and 1688. It shows that in addition to his own efforts his publisher, Jacob van Meurs, and his patron, Nicolaes Witsen, made vital contributions to these works. It makes a case for the vital contribution to European knowledge of a wider world, and to the impact of that knowledge on broader cultural trends, of one who was not an eyewitness of distant shores but a diligent and sophisticated stay-at-home compiler. It urges scholars of these distant areas to pay attention to these books and others like them, and teachers to think about the benefits of discussing them with their students.

The Revolution

This article explores the process of global revolution reflected in the globalization of consciousness and society. Human world faced the integration of two worlds – the information world of consciousness and thought, and the world of social reality. Consciousness and society correspond and complement each other. The concept of global revolution is defined as the revolution within consciousness, individual and global. Individual consciousness should endure the group flows of energy, reach more integrity, enhance moral component, which would create conditions for the formation of global consciousness. The research methods include the developed by the author concept of noospheric energitism; systemic, synergetic and energy-information approaches, as well as dialectics of fundamental principles of the existence. Global revolution encapsulates not only the revolution in consciousness, but also in forms of its manifestation, i.e. the forms of social reality. The incipient global consciousness needs a new environment, since it cannot manifest itself in the old forms. Social organization gives way to social orderliness, mobile and dynamic forms of self-discipline. The modern global reality is represented by the model of network mind-civilization , consisting of the planetary web of cities as civilizational centers, which hold the major changes, connected by material, energy and information circuit. This model explains the mechanism of unfolding a global revolution that unites civilizational and consciousness-based components, allows to adequately describe and understand the global revolutionary and evolutionary transformations within consciousness and other forms of social organization, plan and guide panhuman development, foresee risks and reduce the possible negative consequences.

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
