The Earth

At first sight, environmental issues do not seem to feature prominently, if at all, in the work of Jacques Derrida. This essay aims to take a closer look, and thereby to issue a challenge to the burgeoning discipline of eco-criticism. Instead of promoting the Beautiful Soul who is equipped to save the planet by virtue of reading poetry, I argue for the ethical primacy of waste and welter (to recycle a phrase from Wallace Stevens). Jonathan Bate's The Song of the Earth, a powerful but pious work of eco-criticism, ends with a test proposed to the reader; I take the test, which entails reading Stevens's late poem ‘The Planet on the Table’, and fail. Bate's invocation of Martin Heidegger is briefly examined, as are traces of Derrida. What remains of Derrida, I propose, is neither method nor concept but rather remainders that trouble the grounding of environment (Umwelt) as such.

Neste artigo, refletimos teoricamente sobre o pós-fundacionalismo, corrente filosófica que influenciou o surgimento do pós-estruturalismo francês na segunda metade do século XX. De uma forma mais específica, nosso objetivo é discutir as implicações ontológicas, teóricas e epistemológicas da abordagem pós-fundacional para pesquisas em ciências sociais. Para tanto, cumprimos o seguinte percurso. Primeiramente, discorremos sobre o que chamamos de o Zeitgeist pós-fundacionalista, em especial a ênfase na diferença ontológica e no fundamento como Abgrund oriundos da obra de Martin Heidegger. A seguir, apresentamos a influência heideggeriana na reflexão filosófica pós-estruturalista de Jacques Derrida. Na sequência, discutimos a incorporação e a aplicação da ontologia heideggeriana na obra de Ernesto Laclau, principalmente a partir da discussão das noções de hegemonia e de populismo. Ao final, apresentamos nossas considerações acerca da importância do pós-fundacionalismo para pesquisas na área das ciências sociais.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo propor uma série de reflexões biográfico-metafórico-ficcionais baseadas no apagamento do nome próprio/assinatura do narrador do romance Mil rosas roubadas (2014) do escritor mineiro, crítico literário e ensaísta Silviano Santiago. Esse estudo emerge da compreensão do nome próprio/assinatura enquanto traços, passíveis de serem apagados, de uma escrevivência atravessada por personificações das ausências a partir da morte e do ato de sobreviver (Silviano Santiago) à perda de um amado (Ezequiel Neves). Para isso, nos respaldaremos, essencialmente, na crítica biográfica (Souza, 2002, 2011) (Nolasco, 2010, 2018) e nos pressupostos filosóficos de Jacques Derrida e Geoffrey Bennington como base epistemológica da discussão fundamentada, sobretudo, nos conceitos de nome próprio/assinatura (Bennington, 1996) (Derrida, 1995, 1996, 2009), traço (Amaral, 2000) (Derrida, 2014) e escrevivência (Evaristo, 2017a). Para além dos críticos já mencionados no referencial teórico, também nos valeremos de Roland Barthes e de Martin Heidegger para circunscrever nossas considerações em instâncias e jogos de linguagens próprios à teorização crítico-biográfica que ensejamos nesse artigo. Portanto, no tocante aos resultados esperados, buscaremos explicitar que o traço, contido no nome próprio/assinatura, não pode ser a origem nem o fim, mas, sim, um elemento que desaparece-reaparecendo simultaneamente. Sendo assim, ainda que Silviano apague sua assinatura no corpus literário do romance Mil rosas roubadas, sua escrevivência o transpassa indo além do apagamento e avançando o nome próprio, que, pelo contrário, é impróprio, por excelência.

En este texto se lleva a cabo una lectura de la obra de Martin Heidegger y Jacques Derrida tomando como eje la noción de “espectralidad”. Se comprueba cómo ambos autores comprenden el pasado como aquello que debe ser herededado desde la creación y no simplemente como algo que se recibiría pasiva o mecánicamente. El espectro, por tanto, es este “origen” que “no es” y que se entrega como porvenir, como tarea. Sin embargo, es precisamente esta coincidencia la que distancia absolutamente el pensamiento de Derrida de la experiencia heideggeriana de la imposibilidad del espectro, es decir, de la aporía de su identidad.

New Beginning

In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari carve out an image of thought and a path for philosophy that is connected to the figure of the cosmic artisan. This article situates the artisan in relation to both past and future, comparing this figure to that of the artist in the work of another great philosopher who desired to bring forth a new beginning for philosophy, Martin Heidegger. After discussing multiple ways that Deleuze and Guattari's thought is world-destroying in terms of past ontological and epistemological commitments, the article considers the cosmic artisan/philosopher's diagrammatic role in light of the technological-scientific advancements within the field of quantum physics. Through these elaborations, it becomes clear that Deleuze and Guattari are articulating the need for a new sensibility – to the imperceptible, the virtual, the compossible and the molecular. Deleuze and Guattari's noological nomadism opens a way forward, where world-destroying becomes linked to creation, and the figure of modernity becomes the possibility of a new relation to the earth – a cosmic earth.

Abstract This essay considers the relation between two fundamentally different notions of place—the Greek concept of χώρα and the Japanese concept of basho 場所—in an effort to address the question of a possible “other beginning” to philosophy by rethinking the relation between nature and the elemental. Taking up a cross-cultural comparative approach, ancient through contemporary Eastern and Western sources are considered. Central to this endeavor is reflection on the concept of the between through an engagement between, on the one hand, Plato, Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Edward Casey, and John Sallis, and on the other, Eihei Dōgen, Nishida Kitarō, and Watsuji Tetsurō.

Abstract This essay is motivated by the question, how might we describe the occurrences of cultural borders? It is organized in three sections with these titles: A. Borders of Concealment and Translation; B. Attunement with Fragmented, Differential Borders; C. Metaphors, Relations of Power, Borderlands. I limit these topics by focusing primarily on cultural borders and transformations within the United States. My aims within the context of these situated accounts are to encourage greater awareness of borders as events that often have shared and describable characteristics, to make evident a group of issues that need further philosophical attention, to develop an enlarged philosophical vocabulary for such thought in comparison to that in standard use, and to bring to the fore questions of cultural sensibility and their transformations. In this process I address and utilize specific works by Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Gloria Anzaldúa.

Recently, the concern for global environmental issues has risen all over the world. The increment in concentration of the heat-trapping greenhouse gases that causes global warming in earth’s atmosphere became a serious problem. The level of the sea rises by melting glaciers when global warming advances it. Forecasting the changes of carbon dioxide concentration is a major issue to maintain the stability of the Earth and its species. The measurement of carbon dioxide is also important for agriculture and local industrialization. The density of carbon dioxide varies depending on the environment. The development of a low cost device that detects carbon dioxide density is discusses in this paper. We developed some measurement systems of carbon dioxide for various purpose.

This article elucidates the perspective of The Lithia Trilogy, written by Blair Richmond, towards environment. This research is executed based on ecocriticism, a literary approach which focuses on the exploration of environmental issues in literary works. The theory is taken from Laurence Buell on the meaning of ecocriticism. From the analysis of the structure of the novels, it is found that the trilogy presents the idea of biocentrism, an assumption that the earth and all of the living things on it have the right to fulfill their needs without any molestation from the other, especially from humans. Biocentrism is the opposing concept of Anthropocentrism, both of which are studied in environmental ethics. Two issues of conflicts are presented in this trilogy: herbivores versus omnivores and environ-mentalists versus capitalists. The result of the research reveals that the novels suggest not to eat animals to save fauna and socialize Gaia hypothesis to save all living and non-living things on the earth. As one work of young adult literature, this trilogy explicitly teaches those suggestions to young readers.
