Abstarct The author analyses Carol Ann Duffy’s dramatic monologues and revisionist myths in Standing  Female Nude and The World’s Wife that centre on speakers who are either fashioned into objects of art or that become artists themselves. In the process, the author demonstrates that Duffy deconstructs the practice of objectification and undermines humanist philosophy. At the same time, Duffy appears to reconcile the postmodern dispersal of the subject with a sense of creative agency and autonomy, unmaking archetypes while weaving together an inclusive plurality of voices engaged in both social critique and creative praxis.

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta como temática central a memória de poetas populares na internet, tendo como objetivo basilar preservar a memória da poesia popular, particularmente a memória da vida e obra de seus autores, por meio da adoção de recursos tecnológicos, neste caso do uso do WordPress com vistas a viabilizar a preservação e o acesso a artefatos poéticos da literatura de cordel. Metodologicamente, a investigação ocorreu em duas fases: a fase 1, de caráter estritamente documental e bibliográfico; e a fase 2, de natureza aplicada. Conclui-se que o uso de ferramentas online pode viabilizar a preservação e o acesso aos artefatos da memória coletiva da poesia popular e, de algum modo, fazer ecoar as vozes silenciadas por processos coercitivos ou não, considerando que o cordel possui uma linguagem crítica do social. Nesse sentido, espera-se contribuir para induzir, em outros contextos, novas experiências de preservação da memória da cultura popular, que é também cultura nacional.Palavras-chave: Memória Coletiva; Blogosfera; Cultura Popular; Poesia Popular; Artefato Poético.ABSTRACT The subject of this article is the memory of popular poets on the internet, with the aim of preserving the memory of popular poetry, particularly their life stories and their work, through the adoption of technological resources. In this case we focus on the use of WordPress in facilitating the preservation of and access to poetic artifacts of cordel literature. The investigation occurred in two phases: Phase 1, strictly documentary and bibliographic; and Phase 2, of an applied nature. It is concluded that the use of online tools can facilitate preservation and access to the artifacts of collective memory, in some way echoing the voices silenced - by coercive processes or not - considering that cordel literature is built on a social critique.  In this sense, this work should contribute to induce in other contexts new memory preservation experiences of popular culture, which is also national culture.Keywords: Collective Memory; Blogosphere; Popular culture; Popular Poetry; Poetic Artifact.

Considerando a problemática da constituição do sujeito no espaço urbano nos estudos de perspectiva discursiva, este trabalho busca refletir sobre os processos de textualização e circulação de carroças de catadores que foram repaginadas pelo projeto artístico “Pimp my carroça", idealizado pelo grafiteiro Tiago Mundano, que mescla a arte do grafite, crítica social e recursos de segurança. Buscamos compreender os efeitos de sentidos produzidos na/pela arte do grafite articulando o movimento do catador ao movimento da própria cidade.Abstract: Considering the problem of the constitution of the subject in the urban space in discursive perspective studies, this paper seeks to reflect on the textualization processes and circulation collectors carts that were repaginate the artistic project "Pimp my cart," designed by graffiti artist Thiago Mundano that mixes graffiti art, social critique and security features. We try to understand the effects of meanings produced in / by the graffiti art that articulates movement of the collector to move the city itself.Keywords: graffiti, city, urban discourse, collector of recyclable material´s identity.

The Subject

This chapter asks what room is there for stand-up comedy as social critique in a ‘post-abjection’ society. In a society where a New Left politics is normative, ‘common sense’, where does this leave radical critique for stand-up comedians? If New Left ideals are mainstream ‘political sense’, how do comedians face up to the obligations of New Left political subjectivity from the social identities their personas fix them as? The ethics of selfhood which New Left hegemony obliges is viewed through stand-up personas as offering philosophies of ‘the subject’ which foreground the moral ought of leftist politics and the structurally compromised position of their social identities.

Ambivalent Attitude

Abstract Søren Aabye Kierkegaard’s thought has often been regarded as a philosophy of inwardness, especially within the German-speaking world. Theodor W. Adorno takes an ambivalent attitude toward this view: He criticizes Kierkegaard’s conception of subjectivity as ‘objectless inwardness’, while pointing to its potential for self-reflection that enables the subject to recognize its relationship to the outside world. Beginning from this ambivalent interpretation, this study aims to read Kierkegaard against and with Adorno. First, it clarifies that Kierkegaard does not remain in a closed ‘objectless’ conception of inwardness. Second, it explores how Kierkegaard conceives of inward self-reflection on remorse for sin, which is brought about through the ‘other’ and makes the subject confront its own reality. Thus, Kierkegaard’s concept of inwardness not only overcomes its objectlessness, but also implies a subjective self-reflection through the ‘other’, which can lead to social critique.

The Subject

In light of a boom of radical social critique following the financial crisis, Cultural Studies and poststructuralism, which used to be favorites among many left-wing academics until recently, seem to have lost ground: In the wake of the “big crisis” with its material problems and consequences, the theoretical problematization of The Subject, truth, and structure, as well as the focus on subversive micropolitics (instead of macro analyses), complex power relations and battles of interpretation is considered to be outdated and misleading. This article takes the wide-spread unease with regard to poststructuralism’s potential for radical social critique seriously and confronts the paradigm with questions concerning criticism and truth, inequality and authority and its ability to problematize society on a systemic level. The main argument is that current shortcomings in the field of radical social critique can be conquered by key ideas of poststructuralist thinking itself.

Abstract This contribution discusses the return of the ‘social question’ to the basically still wealthy and secure societies of the Global North. Referring to the case of German welfare capitalism, a historically new form of discriminating precariousness is being identified. This type of precariousness results from processes of a market driven, capitalist Landnahme. The paper argues that this specific form of precariousness should be the subject matter of a renewed, scientific social critique.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

Orbit Computation

In this paper an orbit computation program for artificial satellites is presented. This program is operational and it has already been used to compute the orbits of several satellites.After an introductory discussion on the subject of artificial satellite orbit computations, the features of this program are thoroughly explained. In order to achieve the representation of the orbital elements over short intervals of time a drag-free perturbation theory coupled with a differential correction procedure is used, while the long range behavior is obtained empirically. The empirical treatment of the non-gravitational effects upon the satellite motion seems to be very satisfactory. Numerical analysis procedures supporting this treatment and experience gained in using our program are also objects of discussion.

Rule: I'd like at this point to bring up the subject of cables and wireways around the telescope. We've touched upon this twice during previous sessions: the cable wrap up problem, the communications problem, and data multiplexing problem. I think we'll ask Bill Baustian if he will give us a brief run down on what the electrical run problems are, besides doubling the system every year.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.
