The Apology is often read as showing a conflict between democracy and philosophy. I argue here that Socrates’s defense critically engages deeply political Athenian conventions of death, showing a mutual entanglement between Socratic philosophy and democratic practice. I suggest that Socrates’s aporetic insistence within the Apology that we “do not know if death is a good or a bad thing” structures a critical space of inquiry that I term “mortal ignorance;” a space from which Socrates reapproaches settled questions of death’s appropriate place in political life, ultimately prompting a partial transformation of Athenian democracy. I argue here that Socratic mortal ignorance supports a self-reflective politics of death, one which produces many potential responses and accepts the impossibility of closing off death’s meaning in any final sense—an aporia suitable for the unending, precarious work of democratic politics.

This paper argues that the later Wittgenstein's notion of the autonomy of grammar opens up critical space for thinking about world politics The claim that philosophy should be a ‘grammatical investigation’ involves considering how particular pictures, as representations of reality, hold us captive. Although the ‘deep disquietudes’ that are expressed in world politics may have similarities with the depth of a grammatical joke, I will look at a few reasons why we aren't laughing.

This volume re-imagines the study of English and media in a way that decentralises the text (e.g. romantic poetry or film noir) or media formats/platforms (e.g. broadcast media/new media). Instead, the authors work across boundaries in meaningful thematic contexts that reflect the ways in which people engage with reading, watching, making, and listening in their textual lives. In so doing, the volume recasts both subjects as combined in a more reflexive, critical space for the study of our everyday social and cultural interactions. Across the chapters, the authors present applicable learning and teaching strategies that weave together art works, films, social practices, creativity, 'viral' media, theater, TV, social media, videogames, and literature. The culmination of this range of strategies is a reclaimed 'blue skies' approach to progressive textual education, free from constraining shackles of outdated ideas about textual categories and value that have hitherto alienated generations of students and both English and media from themselves.

The Relationship

This article reads Pat Cadigan’s Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning novel Synners (1991) from the perspectives of trauma studies and posthumanism to analyze the representation of the cyborged (post)human in cyberspace. My main focus is Cadigan’s depiction of a posttraumatic world whose living conditions invite escape, and how this depiction emphasizes the fact that escape through technological transcendence is not an option, and neither is the rejection of technology altogether. Despite this bleak scenario, the novel leaves some room for optimism in the figuration of a posthuman form of resilience, inspiring reflection about future forms of engagement with technology. As this article attempts to prove, Synners uses the tropes of the cyborg and cyberspace to explore the implications of subjectivity and embodiment within technoscience. In so doing, the novel opens a critical space for interrogation of the relationship between trauma, the posthuman body, and digital technology.

Feminine Discourse

<p>Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar como está representada a imagem feminina em alguns poemas selecionados da obra de Florbela Espanca e Gilka Machado. As marcas de sensualidade e o natural rompimento com a tradicional visão do amor no discurso feminino, atuam como características predominantes do universo poético dessas poetisas. Tais características explicitam o processo de individuação feminina que reflete em seu discurso libertário e irreverente uma espécie de <em>donjuanismo </em>feminino. Nosso propósito é focalizar a construção desse processo de individuação feminina que, se por vezes mostra uma sensibilidade exacerbada por fortes impulsos eróticos, por outras, revela toda a angustiante experiência sentimental nas quais as poetisas extravasam as lutas que travam dentro de si entre tendências e sentimentos opostos. Acreditando que a trajetória e a representação da imagem feminina no discurso poético florbeliano e gilkiano refletem uma proposta pioneira de valores transgressores da sociedade burguesa cristã, o estudo mostra o perfil da mulher na obra de Florbela Espanca e de Gilka Machado.</p> <p>This written work aims to show how Florbela Espanca and Gilka Machado have represented the feminine image in some selected pieces of their poetry oeuvre. Sensuality traits and natural rupture with the traditional point of view about love affection within feminine discourse act as predominant features into the authors’ poetic universe. Such features expound the women individualization process which express through authors’ setting-free and non-obeying discourse a kind of feminine donjuanism. It is intend here to spot the building of this feminine individualization process. sometimes this building process exposes a sensibility exaggerated by strong erotic impulses, and in others times that process reveals the very sentimental anghuishening experience through which both poets set free their inner struggles involving oppostie tendencies and feelings. This study draws a woman’s profile inside Floberla Espanca and Gilka Machado’s poetry by taking for granted that the feminine image trajectory and representation within authors’ poetic discourse expresses a pioneer proposal of breaking-rules values of christian burgeois society.</p>

We study the initial value problem of some nonlinear Dirac equations which areLmℝcritical. Corresponding to the structure of nonlinear terms, global strong solutions can be obtained in different Lebesgue spaces by using solution representation formula. The uniqueness of weak solutions is proved for the solutionU∈L∞0,T; Ym+2ℝ.
