Critical Hope

AbstractIn this essay I scrutinize the non-anthropocentric discourses used by the social sciences and humanities narratives and critiques of the Anthropocene. Although not always predominant within the academic Anthropocene debate, such discursive strands remain politically and ethically inspiring and influential in that debate and for the public discourse concerning the epoch. I stress that these discourses inherit the hope for human progress that characterizes critical theory of the Frankfurt school, i.e. ‘critical hope’, a type of hope that renders the non-anthropocentric discourses self-contradictory. Even when they manage to escape the hold of critical hope, these discourses, I argue, suffer from ethical and political failings due to their inherent lack of focus on human–human relations and largely ahistorical nature. I conclude the essay by advocating an Anthropocene archaeology that remains critical of and learns from the ethical and political shortcomings of non-anthropocentric perspectives and making a related call for a slow archaeology of the Anthropocene.

The Public Sphere

Drawing on the articles collected by Aaron W. Hughes in the newly published "Theory in a Time of Excess", this article argues that critical theory in religion has an important role to play in the public sphere of 2017. This is particularly true if scholars take seriously the suggestion of several of the authors in this edited volume, that critical theory in the study of religion must consist of the constant questioning both of specific theories, and of the social, political, and historical paradigm in which both theories and methods are chosen by scholars.

Remediation is the process whereby the new media (animation, virtual reality, video games, and the internet) define themselves by borrowing from and refashioning traditional media (print, film, video, and photography). This chapter explores how the remediation that is successfully deployed in forming new media contents and adds dynamics to media production can be applied to the understanding of academic fascism as a new field of research in contemporary social theory. Traditional fascism as the movement based on historic fascism (i.e., German, Italian, and Spanish) refashions academic fascism as a new manifestation of contemporary fascism; likewise, the academic fascism impacts the fascism as-we-know-it and contributes to many new devices and procedures that demand the attention of critical theory of society. The researcher as scapegoat Other, academic cleansing, privatization of knowledge, and smart technology (on the place of blood and soil) are the key concepts addressed and analyzed in this chapter.

Anthropology has existed in the public school curriculum for almost a century. For the most part, however, it has been included within world and American history. For example, some of the earliest textbooks used in American schools described Indian culture as a background to European arrival and conquest. The most purposeful application of precollegiate anthropology to the school curriculum came in the 1960s when special teaching units were added to the social studies curriculum. Since then anthropology has been holding its own as a minor part of the precollege curriculum, and there is some indication that interest in this subject is currently on the rise among educators.

This article conducts an analysis of public meetings in Great Britain between 1758 and 1834. The profound changes in frequency and character, the enormous increase of public meetings and the sharp decline in the relative frequency of violent gatherings, serve as an indicator of the expansion of the public sphere and its capacity to shape the social process. The article explains the rise of the public meeting and why it became so central to British political life during the nineteenth century through four intertwined changes: the development of British capitalism, the growing importance of Parliament, the multiplied opportunities for political entrepreneurs, and the effect of public contention itself.

On page 23 of the Rotarian for August, 1953, there is an article, “Bold New Program in Our Schools,” describing a scheme for fostering good citizenship among young Americans. It is so newsworthy that Reader's Digest used it in its August, 1953, issue. Those who have found the time to read the article know that it claims “to teach youngsters to become active, informed, alert citizens in the same way they are taught to be good chemists—by laboratory practice.” Again, the social studies group has succeeded in making the public conscious of its efforts to teach citizenship!

Source Materials

when I wanted to enrich the social studies curriculum, I needed additional materials to supplement the textbook. I made endless trips to the public library to find supplementary resources. When my students participated in National History Day® or conducted other historical research, they often struggled to locate primarysource materials. Some students traveled to the Library of Congress or to national and university libraries. With the advent of the Internet, finding enrichment materials and primary source materials in history and the social sciences has become much easier. Primary source material is much more accessible since the Library of Congress and other institutes, museums, and libraries have begun to digitalize their collections. In addition, historical accounts, economic reports, maps, political commentaries, and demographic information abound on the Internet. Now, instead of going to the library, I log onto to the Internet first.

Interpretive Reading

The concept of alienation is important part of the 20th century leftwing social criticism and a key theme of Western Marxism and critical theory. It also has a significant impact on various existentialist-inspired cultural criticism. The development of the social and economic dynamics in recent decades has aroused interest for a different interpretations of this classic question. The following text is an attempt for ontological rethinking of the problem through the existential concepts of Martin Heidegger. This happens with the interpretive reading of several of those key concepts.

Over Time

History, Hayden White remarks, has no distinctively historical method, but borrows its models and methods from a variety of other disciplines. These disciplines, however, have varied over time. Latenineteenth-century German historiography looked to the rigorous procedures of the natural sciences to reconstruct the past “as it actually happened“; mid-twentieth-century historians turned to the social sciences, especially to anthropology and sociology, for their models and methods. More recently, historians' appropriation of (and experimentation with) concepts derived from literary and critical theory has occasioned much heated discussion within the field.
