The Creation

This chapter examines an alternative approach to rhythm within continental philosophy, represented by Giorgio Agamben and Julia Kristeva. These thinkers are interested in the role of rhythm in the creation of a non-traditional subjectivity, rather than in reality as a whole. As a result, they view rhythm from within, in relation to the socially-constructed systems that govern everyday life. These concerns enable a more diachronic perspective on rhythm as a feature of human experience, and, moreover, as an interruptive feature to be leveraged in challenging human conceptions and structures. As in the previous chapter, the current chapter then turns to consider both critical theological responses by adherents to Radical Orthodoxy and similarities between Agamben and Kristeva and theologians Erich Przywara and Jean-Luc Marion. These resonances demonstrate the theological significance of Agamben’s approach, in particular, as the openness to interruptive encounter required for creatureliness.

Tragic Conflict

This paper focuses on the role of the poetics of mystery in the formation of the romantic trag-edy genre. “The Spaniards” by Mikhail Lermontov is considered as a characteristic example of this genre, manifesting “melodramatization” of tragedy and tendency towards genre-generic synthesis. The action of “The Spaniards” is based on events related to the sphere of the mysterious, which are exceptional in life and common in melodrama. Central to the plot is the motif of the loss of a child. The secret of Fernando’s birth and “ignobility” form the con-flict and organize two storylines (love and family) and two (everyday life – melodramatic, and existential – tragic) levels of conflict. Mystery also plays an important role in revealing the inner world and expressing the romantic ideal of the hero. The ability to comprehend the mysterious, to pass beyond human experience and logic is not only the motivation of his ac-tions, but it also connects the hero with the ideal sphere. The study examines how the charac-ters’ anticipation of the “terrible” motivates their moral choices. Analyzing the interaction of lyrical motifs, the author suggests the motif of mystery as important for implementing the main (tragic) conflict, unlike melodrama, where the functions of mystery are plot-forming, stimulating the spectator’s interest and maximizing the dramatic tension. Mystery in the plot and the lyrical concept of the tragedy contributes to the understanding of the essence of the romantic conflict, has a suggestive impact on the audience, and deepens the psychologism.

Formative Years

Charles Marowitz worked extensively as a director in Britain from the late 'fifties through the 'seventies, and was one of the editors of the influential Encore magazine in the formative years of the ‘new wave’. His free-lance work included the co-direction with Peter Brook of the seminal ‘Theatre of Cruelty’ season, and the premiere production of Joe Orton's Loot. Later, in partnership with Jim Haynes, a season at the London Traverse Theatre led to the creation of his own, more enduring Open Space Theatre in a basement in Tottenham Court Road – one of the identifying events of 1968 and its theatrical aftermath. Since returning to his native United States, Marowitz has worked out of Malibu, and continued his parallel role as writer – in which he has become best known for his sequence of ‘collage’ Shakespeares ranging from Hamlet to The Shrew, and also as a self-professed ‘counterfeit critic’ and theoretician of acting and directing. The following article also forms the final chapter of his latest book, The Other Way: an Alternative Approach to Acting and Directing, to be published by Applause Books later this year. It represents, also, a concise charting of his own voyage of discovery – of the role of the director, and of the recognition of the autonomy and ‘higher calling’ of the actor that this has involved.

HISTORICAL MEMORIES OF A CHINESE ADVENTURER IN A TAY CHRONICLE; USURPATION OF THE THRONE OF A TAY POLITY IN YUNNAN, 1573–1584

Historical Memories

By analysing a Tay chronicle and Chinese sources about a case of usurpation in the Tay (Shan) polity of Mäng: Wan: located in southwest Yunnan on the border with Burma (Myanmar) in 1573, this article offers an alternative approach to the use of chronicles as sources for the history of the Tay Cultural Area. It argues that Tay chronicles are media for the creation and transmission of historical memories, and that they can be utilized to redress the excessive subjectivity of Chinese sources precisely because they show how the Tay interpreted events. Analyses of these interpretations in turn reveal the principal concepts underlying Tay political and social organization, thereby allowing historians to establish benchmarks for ascertaining the changes that took place in Tay polities. This study emphasizes that the memory of the usurpation was generated by the realities of Mäng: Wan:'s power relations with China and Burma, and demonstrates that apart from elucidating the role of royal succession, these memories also throw light on some of the larger recurring themes in the history of Tay relations with China, such as the role of Han Chinese migrants in polity building and administration and land alienation by contractual transactions.

Local Case

This paper proposes a bottom–up “nexus medium” perspective to examine and understand social organization and how socio-ecological challenges in remote rural regions are dealt with in communities that receive only limited external support. While “nexus mediums” constitute substances, matter, or objects that combine manifold vital meanings and can be seen as socially constructed and materialized arenas of social interaction, autonomous resource management is seen as a means of local social organization. Taking water as the nexus medium of choice allows us to generate locally informed insights about the role of this scarce resource for the everyday life and social organization of communities inhabiting arid rural areas. This reasoning will be exemplified by three local case studies conducted during empirical research in the Pamirs of Tajikistan utilizing a mix of qualitative methods. The findings reveal how many fundamental everyday-life-related aspects and activities of the studied communities are related to water, and how these communities are organized around common water use and management arrangements that are based on joint decision-making, shared benefits and responsibilities, and collaborative action. The “nexus medium” concept appears to be an appropriate approach for research that seeks to understand from a local perspective how communal living is organized and how socio-ecological challenges are addressed.

Time is so much a part of everyday experience that no thought is normally given to the meaning of the word. The scientific measurement of a quantity such as time, however, requires the definition of a gauge as a standard of measurement that is reasonably invariant to human experience and the creation of a measurement language capable of independent empirical reproduction so that one laboratory can share experience with another using only a written language to do so.Time as a means of scientific measurement for navigation requires a further extension of this experience to independent reproduction on a moving craft.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengambarkan peran orang tua menanamkan kearifan lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnopedagogi. Hasil penelitian adalah orang tua memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap proses pembentukan karakter. Keteladan orang dapat mengantar anak/remaja diarahkan untuk secara aktif memajukan toleransi dan penghormatan terhadap keyakinan orang lain. Hal ini dilakukan agar individu anak dapat merefleksikan target tersebut dalam kehidupan sehari-hari di masyarakat. Perubahan individu yang konstruktif dapat menjadi cikal bakal lahirnya kehidupan keberagaman yang penuh penghormatan terhadap perbedaan dan diharapkan dapat menciptakan ikatan keragaman yang saling menguatkan, saling mendukung, dan menghormati satu sama lain. Nilai assitulung-tulungeng merupakan kekuatan budaya yang tercermin dari modal utama dalam membangun relasi sosiologis di tengah umat yang berbeda agama dan budaya. Paling tidak inilah yang bisa dipahami dari komentar Ikram di atas. Kesadaran personal yang diterangi oleh sinar iman kebenaran, tentu akan melahirkan kesadaran sosiologis yang berimplikasi pada terciptanya hubungan yang harmonis masyarakat pesisir.This study aims to describe the role of parents in instilling local wisdom. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnopedagogical approach. The results showed that parents have a big influence on the character ordering process. Exemplary can lead children / adolescents to be actively directed to promote tolerance and respect for the beliefs of others. This is done so that individual children can reflect on these targets in everyday life in society. Constructive individual change can be the forerunner to the birth of a diverse life that is full of respect for support and is expected to create bonds of diversity that mutually reinforce, support one another, and respect one another. The value of assitulung-tulungeng is a cultural strength seen from the main asset in building sociological relations among people of different religions and cultures. At least this is what can be implemented from Ikram's comments above. Personal awareness that is illuminated by the light of faith in truth will certainly give birth to a sociological awareness which has implications for the creation of harmonious relationships in coastal communities.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

This article proposes a model of individual violent radicalisation leading to acts of terrorism. After reviewing the role of group regression and the creation of group psychic apparatus, the article will examine how violent radicalisation, by the reversal of the importance of the superego and the ideal ego, serves to compensate the narcissistic identity suffering by “lone wolf” terrorists.
