(Un)comfortable (un)knowing. On comfort zones in the guided tours of a mosque is article, proceeding from the study I did for my thesis on the guided tours of the great mosque in Stockholm, discusses the situations that were characterized by a struggle for having the right knowledge and interpretative prerogative. e concept of comfort zone (Ahmed 2008), and how that is related to ideas of societal happiness, is central. It is a concept that opens up for analysis of how the exercise of power depends on the position of the speaker. During the tours there has been a rhetorical struggle to establish a comfort zone. e article explores the interlinking of know- ledge and social positioning, and how positions decide the credibility of what is said. Acknowledging that there are regimes of truth surrounding Muslims in Sweden, the main focus lies on the production of knowledge regarding Muslims in the context of the guided tours of a mosque in Stockholm. Special attention is given to how regimes of truth regarding Muslims inform the conversations during the visits, how they are debated in this particular arena and how that is dependent on positionality. It is a situation in which a Muslim, in the position of the guide, has an opportunity to present alternative storylines, or stories, about who Muslims are and what they do. During the visits there was a tendency for the guests to feel comfortable. In spite of being guests they managed the discomfort by recreating a comfort zone brought about by the alternative sto- rylines. Seemingly objective and established knowledge on Muslims has had such an impact that it made the Muslim guides less trustworthy, even when they talk about personal experiences and their private lives, giving the guides a position of discomfort.

Student Evaluation Of Faculty

Haskell (1997) argued that the administrative practice of student evaluation of faculty is a threat to academic freedom. However, before that claim can be substantiated, several prior questions must be addressed: To whom does academic freedom belong? Individual faculty? The academy? Whose actions can violate the right? Can any lines be drawn based on whether the substance or form of classroom behavior is influenced? And still another crucial point is whether a body can violate academic freedom without any intent to interfere with or control the substance of what is said to students.

In 2001, in Zürich Switzerland, German director Christoph Schlingensief staged a version of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. In this version’s famous mousetrap scene, in which Hamlet wants to force his uncle to confess to fratricide, all the players of the mise en abyme are portrayed by a group of neo-Nazis endeavouring to separate themselves from the right–wing scene. In a dramatic break from Shakespeare’s text the group go on to share their own personal experiences with the audience. The production attempted to comment on and create debate about the ‘rottenness’ of the State, not just Switzerland, amid the rise in approval ratings and growing influence of far-right parties in the surrounding countries. I posit that Schlingensief’s project is a form of radical deradicalization (i.e., a radical method of deradicalizing neo-Nazis). This paper analyses Schlingensief’s Hamlet by utilizing the concepts of adikia (disjointure, dislocation, injustice) and dike (jointure, ordering, justice), which go back to the oldest extant Greek text: the Anaximander fragment. Drawing on Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida’s reinterpretations of adikia and dike I endeavour to illustrate how Schlingensief’s work attempts to intervene in the disjointure caused by the contemporary politics of fear by bringing adikia to the production of Hamlet itself.

This article aims to analyze the educational practices that emerge from conflict situations in which ancestry and the right to the quilombola territory are appreciated. From the narratives of the residents of the Barreiros de Itaguaçu community with regard to the conditions of retrenchment of their traditional territory, we wanted to contribute—through the production of knowledge about the environmental racism experienced by the community—with the hope of increasing its visibility in places where the different axes ofcoloniality do not allow it. Living together within the community revealed that the residents create resistance strategies to fight the process of occupation of their territory. This idea of resistance that we describe here is not limited exclusively to the defense of the territory, it also refers to the defense of the ways of survival and to the defense of the community way of life, which evinces the quilombola identity. This context of community resistance is considered as a universe of tensions and diverse problems engendered by the worldwide colonial system, based on the different faces of coloniality, from where the quilombolacommunity-produced knowledges emerge, which query other ways of appropriating nature.

Following three severe election defeats, the Conservatives elected David Cameron as leader on an explicitly modernising platform. His agenda for change encompassed revitalising the party image through a concerted effort to rebrand the party, an extensive review of policy, and ideological repositioning towards the centre-ground. While these three strands are of course intertwined this chapter will focus on the latter, namely the attempt to distance the Conservatives from the legacy of Thatcherism and cultivate a new form of conservatism with wider electoral appeal. This is examined in relation to the period of opposition under Cameron’s leadership (2005-10) and during his tenure as Prime Minister as leader of the Coalition government between 2010 and 2015. The chapter argues that despite some rhetorical distancing from the Thatcher era, Cameron largely failed to alter the trajectory of contemporary conservatism, which remains essentially neo-Thatcherite. Ultimately this has undermined the modernisation project that he hoped would define his leadership, limiting the effectiveness of his rebranding strategy and shaping the policy agenda that his government has been able to pursue. While forming the Coalition provided the Conservative leader with significant freedom of manoeuvre in statecraft terms (Hayton, 2014) it conversely limited his scope to radically alter his party’s ideological core, as he increasingly needed to balance the demands of his Coalition partners with those of the right of his own party. While significant political capital was expended on the totemic issue of equal marriage for gay couples, few other issues have pushed the boundaries of conservatism beyond its Thatcherite comfort zone. In short, after a decade of Cameronite leadership the construction of a coherent new conservatism remains largely unfulfilled.

The theater today knows many forms and uses different means and approaches to communicate with the contemporary viewer. The theatrical spectacle has so broadened its borders and boundaries that it gives us the opportunity to observe the scene of the combination and interaction of all kinds of arts presented in a new and different way, working in sync, the ultimate goal of which is the provocation, involvement and participation of the viewer / audience . In today's dynamic world, the theater is provoked to react more quickly to what is happening in society, not only with the themes it chooses, but also with the form and the language through which it presents them. The theatrical scene "incorporates" the inventions of the respective era as a means of developing their own language, scene and spectacle. Contemporary theater is in the process of achieving extreme freedom in terms of its choices - subject, text, expression, way of organizing the creative process, way of participation of the audience, director and actors, spaces, technologies, reality, etc. In total creative freedom, directed at innovation and experiment, there is one of the great challenges facing modern theater. The results are a variety of stage forms and expressions. This observation concerns drama. Modern theater is open to the treasury of literature, philosophy, arts-poetry, prose, drama, all visual arts. He freely draws from documentary and fictional. Uses all the possible acting techniques, established through the practices of theatrical systems of the directors' theater, dance, acrobatics and others. This freedom is a tremendous wealth and a challenge to entwine the borrowed into its own aesthetic world and meaningful context. Contemporary theater has won the right to tell, traveling through time and space. The theater is more and more sharing, personal confession, memories. The performance is more and more rare, it is just a stage reading of the play, the drama. It is built on the text, and the text is a very broad term, it is also non-dramatic text. Long ago it is not only the play of one or another author. The dramaturgical language and the functions of the monologue, the dialogue and the trailer are transformed into the free expression of the text. The themes that are being played out are seen in the everyday, in the differences, in the violence. These performances affect the senses, provoke the emotional world and thinking. We are seeing a process of constant rethinking and pulling away from it .The director's function goes through an individual creative reading of a text or theme and over-interpretations to collaborative work, a theater of high technology, a theater without actors, etc. Interdisciplinarity, the introduction of more digital elements, the blending of arts and genres will continue to be a way of building innovative forms. The importance of the collaborative process is associated with the freedom of self-expression. The choice of modern texts, the interpretation of the classical ones, does not mean the abandonment of the past, on the contrary, but the modernization and transformation of this past. Theater is the conduit of communication. This dialogue takes us beyond our comfort zone and at the same time offers us the opportunity to meet with ourselves personally and without roles.

Abstract New forms of knowledge production that actively engage in different types of knowledge in participatory settings have emerged in the last two decades as ‘the right thing to do’. However, the role scientists play in facilitating these processes remains unclear. This article contributes to calls for more deliberate and critical engagement between scholarship and practice of the co-production of knowledge by constructing and testing a conceptual framework based on the literature outlining specific task for scientists in co-production processes. This framework is used to analyze the co-production of knowledge for local food security policy in South Africa, based on documentary analysis and in-depth interviews with scientists, policy makers and stakeholders. It shows that the tasks set out in the conceptual framework provide a useful lens for unpacking, and so better understanding, the role played by scientists in knowledge co-production. Applying the framework also helps to uncover insights into proximate outcomes of co-production, such as increased capacity and power redistribution, as well as critical contextual factors, such as the type of policy problem and the prevailing governance framing. The article concludes that more nuanced and critical understanding of the role of scientists in the co-production process will help over-come the apparent paradox that, although co-production is a ‘buzz word’, researchers often they still adhere to objective and linear knowledge production.

One of the pitfalls on the road of any commentator on any author is that of seizing upon a single aspect of his work and developing this aspect to the exclusion of others equally important. What is said may then be true enough, yet the total picture becomes a distorted one. The danger of a selective reading pulling the whole critical super-structure awry is peculiarly evident in connection with John Updike. He is a comic writer, a fabulist, a poet, a moralist, an observer of social mores, a religious believer, a student of history, an “earnest meditator” on the ego, a critic of other authors—and sometimes all of these things at once. Those who would bake a critical cake must not only include all the ingredients he has supplied but also mix them in the right proportions. If they fail, the cake will turn out flat.
