Being Moved

In A History of Spaces (2004), John Pickles observes that one of the less well-known representational norms of mapping is its focus on ‘natural and physical objects rather than developing universal conventions dealing with symbol, affect and movement.’ New media artist Christian Nold's work has dealt explicitly with two of these cartographic blindspots, grafting new and old technologies that both, in different ways, create bodily traces – the GPS trace of movement and the GSR (galvanic skin response) trace of arousal, often taken as an index of emotional response. Although Nold's socially engaged practice can be placed within the ‘locative media’ genre it also taps into the technological imaginaries around physiological sensors and intimate data. This paper considers Nold's Bio Mapping (2004-) projects in the context of his longstanding concern with social collectives and public space as a field of social relations. Looking at particular maps from Nold's Bio Mapping project, it considers the implications of blending the traces of the body's internal states with the traces produced by locomotive movement, and the relationship between the individuals thus traced and the collectives that Nold seeks to represent. Concurrent with Nold's practice there has been a wave of interest in affect and emotion (and the distinction between them) within the humanities. This paper brings Nold's work into contact with the Deleuzian/Spinozan concept of affect employed in one strand of this writing, drawing in particular on the work of Brian Massumi. Rather than using theory to simply illustrate Nold's practice, it follows the implications of Deleuze's cartographic model of individuation, the logic of which ultimately problematises the very distinction between the two bodily phenomena traced by Nold's device.

The first chapter of Hieroglyphic Modernisms exposes the complex history of Western misconceptions of Egyptian writing from antiquity to the present. Hieroglyphs bridge the gap between modern technologies and the ancient past, looking forward to the rise of new media and backward to the dispersal of languages in the mythical moment of the Tower of Babel. The contradictory ways in which hieroglyphs were interpreted in the West come to shape the differing ways that modernist writers and filmmakers understood the relationship between writing, film, and other new media. On the one hand, poets like Ezra Pound and film theorists like Vachel Lindsay and Sergei Eisenstein use the visual languages of China and of Egypt as a more primal or direct alternative to written words. But Freud, Proust, and the later Eisenstein conversely emphasize the phonetic qualities of Egyptian writing, its similarity to alphabetical scripts. The chapter concludes by arguing that even avant-garde invocations of hieroglyphics depend on narrative form through an examination of Hollis Frampton’s experimental film Zorns Lemma.

The Relationship

The article discusses the relationship between science and morality, the history of this relationship, and the reasons for a recent surge of interest in this issue. An attempt is made to identify internal and external mechanisms that regulate morality. The authors reason that among the most important of them are conscience, responsibility, and public opinion. The paper specifically addresses the problem of the responsibility of science, the structure of responsible actions, as well as new social relations emerging in the modern world.

The Relationship

This chapter articulates the relationship between the political categories of modernity and the question to which its metaphysics always returns: that of subjectivity, endowed with consciousness—perhaps affected with unconsciousness—and with rights, duties, or individual and collective missions. It examines this relationship on the level of the history of ideas, morals, and social relations, and also articulates it as a conceptual unity that helps to clarify certain existential and institutional problems. In so doing, this chapter asks whether they are still our problems (and why) or whether they are already on the wane (and how). This discussion is thus schematic, incomplete, and preliminary, not only in its “conclusions” but also in its formulations.

The subject of this article was one of the fundamental and debatable provisions of the doctrine of civil procedural law - its subject. The author on the basis of the analysis of scientific sources, the legislation carried out the retrospective analysis of formation and development of scientific thought concerning definition of a subject of civil procedural law. The paper identifies two main approaches to understanding the subject of the industry and elements of its structure. Analyzing the "narrow" approach to defining the subject of civil procedural law and certain areas of its coverage in the works of scholars, the author substantiates the position on the relationship between procedural activities and social relations that arise between the court and the parties. Particular attention is paid to the history of inclusion in the subject of civil procedural law enforcement proceedings. The author's position on the subject and system of civil procedural law is substantiated. The essence of the "broad" approach to the definition of the subject of the industry by including in its structure of non-jurisdictional forms of legal protection is revealed. The essence of two opposite tendencies in scientific researches concerning structure of a subject of civil procedural law is revealed: the first tendency is reduced to expansion of a subject at the expense of inclusion in it of economic procedural law, at ignoring independent character of this branch of law; the second - the narrowing of the subject of civil procedural law by removing from its structure of enforcement proceedings, the relations arising in the consideration of labor cases. The connection between the definition of the subject of civil procedural law and the jurisdiction of the court defined in the legislation is substantiated. It is proved that the tendency to narrow the subject of civil procedural law was embodied in the legislation of the country as a result of judicial reform in 2016, which led to conflicts in legislation and problems in law enforcement. Based on the theoretical model of determining the subject of legal regulation and using the analogy of determining its structure, the elements of the structure of the subject of civil procedural law are distinguished and its definition is formulated.

The pervasiveness of new media has raised some questions as to what would happen if we were to deprive ourselves of different media forms for a shorter or longer time. The debate on this issue has become intense in recent years, especially in relation to the hypothesis that the relationship with the web and internet can configure a greater and more insidious dependence on media. To verify how, and if, this happens, I asked 121 university students to refrain from the consumption of media on smartphones, tablets, radios and televisions for a period ranging from three days to a week. The results, collected in diaries compiled during the test, testified to different levels of attachment to media, the interruption of which produced notable consequences in the daily organisation of time and social relations.

The aim of the article is to show the relationship between the aspirations to improve the quality of life and improve social relations and the undertakings serving the renovation of urban spaces. In the first part of the text—after formulating more general remarks about the social significance of space—a few of the concepts of town modernization implemented in the modern history of the developed world (Cerdá, Haussmann, Le Corbusier) are presented, while pointing out their most often ambivalent social results. Attention to the latter has been paid by, among others, critics of modernism and supporters of alternative visions (Jacobs, representatives of the new urbanism, advocates of the ideas of a socially cohesive or fair-shared city, etc.). As the national empirical illustration, the author then characterizes the case of urban and social changes taking place in the last two decades in the Powiśle district of Warsaw. Their effect, regardless of the general benefits of modernization and the desired and long-awaited approximation of the capital to the river, are also controversial, often critically evaluated gentrification processes.

This chapter explores the relationship between spatial and social stratification in Bombay, focusing on the history of Kamathipura. With its heterogeneous racial makeup, this officially sanctioned red light zone was an exception to the orderly delineation of European and Indian spaces in the colonial city of Bombay. What did it mean that differently hailed social groups lived side by side in the same set of streets? Drawing on Jim Masselos’s call to examine, at a granular level, how social distinctions were drawn and maintained in proximity, this chapter focuses on struggles between Europeans and Indians to claim specific streets in Kamathipura. It recounts the history of migration of European and Indian sex workers and the conflicts that intensified in the early 1900s as the population of the city grew. It also reflects on how racial hierarchies were experienced by onlookers: even though Indian and European brothel workers lived side by side, social stratification was observed in ways that were felt deeply; class and caste enacted a clear grammar of difference. The story of how this part of Bombay emerged as the iconic center of its sex trade is a reminder of how intense social stratification can be experienced amidst the dense sharing of public space.

Introduction. The history of copyright is closely linked to changes in society and the development of social relations in it. A paradigm shift in society leads to a change in attitudes to creative work and its results. The identification of common historical patterns allows us not only to better under¬stand the problems arising in copyright, but also to determine the trends of further development. Materials and Methods. The article analyzes foreign and Russian legislation on copyright in its historical context, starting from the Censorship Statute of 1828, the Copyright Law of 1911 and ending with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. We also consider the works of well-known Russian legal researchers and foreign thinkers devoted to copyright and creative activity of the author. Results. Despite the fact that it is generally assumed that copyright belongs to civil law institutions, in certain historical periods, the relationship between the author and users, as well as society as a whole, has public legal aspects. The most frequent change in public-law and private-law approaches is observed in Russian copyright, which is due to political and economic changes that have taken place in the state. Discussion and Conclusion. Currently, society is facing another paradigm shift. The emergence of new technologies has given impetus not only to the use of copyright objects, including in infor¬mation and telecommunications networks, but also for the transformation of interaction between the author, the user and the state in connection with the extraction of a positive effect from the use of creative results. It seems that the active introduction of new technologies, for example, artificial intelligence, should not lead to the dominant influence of the state on copyright relations and overregulation of copyright.

The subject of the article is the characteristics of modern forms of memory institutionalization – the kind of commemorative practices and the related production and dissemination of knowledge in the public space. This topic seems especially important but also controversial in post-socialist countries, in which a major process of revision of the past is continues. This process becomes a part of the political pluralization of the public sphere and the expression of the emancipation of various previously marginalized groups. Using the example of the three museum:Museum of the Macedonian Struggle for Sovereignty and Independence, War Childhood Museum in Sarajevo and „Polin” Museum of the History of Polish Jews, the author discusses: – the articulation and afirmation of subjectivity by means of museum as an institution– the mechanism for shaping the authority of institutions so as to legimitize the interpretation of the past– the relationship between the particular, often fragmented registers of the memory and the dominant power discourses.
