The Aesthetic

This chapter argues for the importance of cultivating aesthetic literacy and vigilance, as well as practicing aesthetic expressions of moral virtues. In light of the considerable power of the aesthetic to affect, sometimes determine, people’s choices, decisions, and actions in daily life, everyday aesthetics discourse has a social responsibility to guide its power toward enriching personal life, facilitating respectful and satisfying interpersonal relationships, creating a civil and humane society, and ensuring the sustainable future. As an aesthetics discourse, its distinct domain unencumbered by these life concerns needs to be protected. At the same time, denying or ignoring the connection with them decontextualizes and marginalizes aesthetics. Aesthetics is an indispensable instrument for assessing and improving the quality of life and the state of the world, and it behooves everyday aesthetics discourse to reclaim its rightful place and to actively engage with the world-making project.

To appraise Martel’s non-Jewish perspective of Holocaust thematic, it is important to assess it in the context of the Jewish relations with the Holocaust. Even though the Jewish claim to the uniqueness of the Holocaust has been disputed since the end of the war especially in Eastern Europe, the Jewish response determined to a large extent the reception of the disaster on the global scene. On a family level, the children of survivors have identified themselves as the legitimate heirs of the unknowable experience of their parents. On a collective level, the decree of Jewish annihilation constructed a Jewish identity that imposed an obligation to keep the Holocaust memory in the consciousness of the world. Martel proposes to supersede the history of the Holocaust with a story which would downplay the Jewish filiation with the Holocaust, elicit an affiliative response to the event of the non-Jewish writer and consequently integrate it into the memory of humanity at large. However, the Holocaust theme of Beatrice and Virgil refuses to assimilate within the general memory of humanity; rather, the consciousness of the event, which pervades the post-Holocaust world, insists on its constant presence. The omnipresence of the Holocaust blurs the distinctions between the filiative (Jewish) and affiliative (non-Jewish) attitudes toward the Jewish tragedy, gripping the writer in its transcendent horror. Disregarding his ethnic or religious origins, the Holocaust takes over the writer’s personal life and determines his story.

Basic Characteristics

What can one say, with what words should one address Igor Feodorovich Stravinsky on his eighty-fifth birthday, a day for the greatest rejoicing both in his personal life and in his life as an artist? We must express infinite gratitude to him (but can it be expressed in words?), for it is essential that he should know that notwithstanding his world-wide recognition, he is, and always will be, both as a man and as a composer, one of the great mysteries of world culture, and in particular of Russian culture, a mystery that will live forever, that will always be subject to fresh interpretations and that will always be needed. His secret—which cannot really be explained—is first and foremost the secret of his genius, the mysterious unexpectedness and the marvel of his appearance in the music of Russia and the world. As Tolstoy said: “Genius is that which cannot be called anything else but genius!” Its basic characteristics, moreover, are unpredictability and self-evidence.

The Difference

With the growing world in terms of technology and population, the growth of technological use by the population has also increased. The technology has become a part of every human being’s life. It is not just a part of his professional life but also a part of his personal life. There are so many things happening in the world that keeps the world changing. To grow along with this growing world, we need to keep ourselves updated. Media plays an important role in keeping the population updated. The world is kept updated irrespective of the location of the population reading the news and the location of the incident occurring. Fake news is the biggest drawback in this process. We believe what we see and what we read as it the only way to keep ourselves updated. So Fake news hampers the population and may result in unexpected incidents. So it is the need of the hour to understand the difference between real and fake news. This project is for fake news analysis and detection. A dataset of news is considered, pre processing is done and then the fake news and real news are predicted using random forest and xgboost algorithms.

Narrative Medium

This paper explores key characteristics of spatial narratives, which are called narrative environments here. Narrative environments can take the form of exhibitions, brand experiences and certain city quarters where stories are deliberately being told in, and through, the space. It is argued that narrative environments can be conceived as being located on a spectrum of narrative practice between media-based narratives and personal life narratives. While watching a screen or reading a book, you are, although often deeply emotionally immersed in a story, always physically ‘outside’ the story. By contrast, you can walk right into a narrative environment, becoming emotionally, intellectually and bodily surrounded by, and implicated in, the narrative. An experience in a narrative environment is, nonetheless, different from everyday experience, where the world, although designed, is not deliberately constituted by others intentionally to imbed and communicate specific stories. The paper proposes a theoretical framework for space as a narrative medium and offers a critical analysis of two case studies of exhibitions, one in a museum and one in the public realm, to support the positioning of narrative environments in the centre of the spectrum of narrative practice.

Meaningful Experiences

This article summarizes, in a style that I have never before been brave enough to adopt, my work as an academic over the last 30 years. I have come closer here to practising what I have preached concerning the idea of being in the text as a self-reflexive, embodied subject rather than representing the world as a detached observer. Our self-imposed, but also heavily institutionalized, pressure to conform to certain modes of writing can produce standardized and anodyne accounts. While we often pretend that personal life is distant from our intellectual endeavours, this is rarely the case, for personal and professional lives are interdependent. I have also tried to offer more conventional accounts of those ideas and theories that have informed my work yet have also been intertwined with personally meaningful experiences. I am grateful to Organization Studies for offering me this opportunity.

Refugees in our Own Land narrates the author’s life between October andDecember 2000, when she was married and living in the West Bank’sDheisheh refugee camp. The book creates a new respect for the refugeesamong whom she lived and gives the reader a glimpse of the incredible difficultiesof their everyday lives.The book is divided into two parts. The first part chronicles Hamzeh’slife during October 4-December 4, 2000: her personal life and that of herfriends in Dheisheh, as well as current political events and how they affectthe life of the refugees in the camp. These almost daily entries were actuallye-mailed to a large number of people while she was still living inDheisheh. The second half of the book is a series of short unrelated storiesand articles, written between 1988 and March 2000, that highlight eventsthat brought her to Dheisheh and explain other events and people in her life.Their order is a bit odd. After the reader gets used to Hamzeh’s life in thecamp, she abruptly ends her entries by describing how she left the camp andthen, just when the reader wants to know what happened next, she startsrelating the events that transpired 2 years ago prior to her journey to theWest Bank. There is no mention of a husband there, and then all of a suddenshe goes from living in the United States to ending up in Dheisheh.How she got there, unfortunately, is never explained. The lack of detailsconcerning such important transitions is quite frustrating. Although shemay have considered them “too personal” to include, it resulted in frustrationon the reader’s part.One success, however, is her exposure of the humanity of people whoso often are dismissed by the world as “refugees.” She mentions their namesand describes their faces and personalities, thereby giving the reader an ...

The life of Gerard Krefft, artist and second in command of the expedition to the Murray River, provides rich opportunity for reflection. This paper highlights the more memorable events of Krefft’s personal life as well as his scientific achievements and how he helped bring Australian science to the notice of the world. Krefft had remarkable zoological and ethnographic abilities and many scientific achievements are attributable to his efforts. He was critical of Blandowski and later won international recognition for his scientific work and for the Australian Museum. However, conflicts with the Museum Trustees came to a head in 1875 and Krefft was forcibly removed in tragic circumstances. His dismissal, the inquiry, the court case and personal life are examined through a combination of published sources and personal letters.

The article issue is a reflection of the anthropological situation of the world, which is manifested in the problematic nature of a decent human existence and its responsibility for the course of events of both personal life and community. The development of modern strategies for the development of humanity today is associated with the informatization, which "took" the knowledge society initiative to be a leader of the progress. The systematization of knowledge and conceptualization of the problem highlighted the contradictory information influence on the existential capabilities of the person and explicated risk factors, ideological and methodological orientations of the anthropologization of the informational-existential situation. Axiological, dialogical, phenomenological approaches and world-view interpretation of familiar concepts of "information society", theoretical reconstruction, content analysis and certain cognitive procedures became the basis for defining certain constructs and receptions: the direction of goals, content, organizational and managerial conditions of informatization to the cultural and spiritual growth, where information becomes "the supreme power that mediates all processes – from economy to spirit"; axiologicalization of the convergent space collision of the information, in particular virtual, world and the real one; taking into account the informatization of significant changes in the world outlook of the person, presenting philosophical reflection (post-metaphysical thinking, linguistic turn, refusal to recognize the superiority of theory over practice, concretization of mind); "humanization" of informatization, as a system-creating process of life, through a discursive, dialogical multicultural virtual world, approaching the cultural and educational space.
