Ecology as Event

Author(s):  
Michael Marder

This chapter argues that “ecology” could be read as one of the names for the evental break in the circuits of economic machinery that recover the subject on the way back to itself. That ecology would be perceived as a disruption (or the irruption) of the event is fitting to the epoch of a profound environmental crisis, rooted in the forgetting of what it means to dwell or to abide, to be at home without imposing an ideal mold on it. If this essentially eco-nomic mode of actively organizing a dwelling and being “chez-soi” has now become hegemonic, then the eco-logical ordering by the dwelling assumes the form of an originary trauma, positively instantiated in the gift.

Children are a gift from Allah SWT that is always expected by every family. However, not everyone (parents) can take good care of their children according to what is commanded by Allah through religious teachings. For various reasons and reasons, parents no longer pay attention to children's religious education. In the end, the negative impact will be felt by parents even more so for their own children. To be able to form a religious awareness of children, the mother as the first person known to the child, then the mother needs to provide an understanding of the religious dimension of children is important, the child is essentially a mandate from Allah SWT that must be grateful, and we as Muslims must carry out the mandate with good and right. The way to be grateful for the gift of God in the form of children is through caring for, caring for, and educating and coaching the characters properly and correctly, so that they will not become weak children, both physically and mentally, and weak in faith and weak in their worldly lives.

This research is an attempt to study Tan Twang Eng’s The Gift of Rain through the lense of Julia Kristeva’s concept of foreignness. The Gift of Rain exposes the story Philip Hutton, a half-Chinese and half-English young man who struggles to determine where he belongs to. The aims of this study is to investigate foreignness experienced by Philip and its impacts to Philip’s life. In additition, qualitative descriptive method is applied to analyze the topic. From the analysis of the protagonist, it is revealed that his sense of foreignness at home, religion as well as race emerge due to the death of his mother which leaves him to be the only Chinese in his English family. In addition, it is also influenced by the way others see and judge his multiple identities. Thus, living within two worlds−English and Chinese− makes Philip mistakenly believe that no one will accept him fully for he is just an outsider, belongs to nowhere. Keywords: Kristeva, foreignness, outsider


The article deals with the question of the authorship and its nature in connection with the case of Herostratus. The main problem is forgotten creators of the temple of Artemis and the immortal fame of its arsonist. In this vein, the concept of destructive authorship is proposed as a form of displaying authorship based not on the usual act of creation, but on the opposite to it – an act of destruction. At the same time, a distinction has been made between “destructive authorship” as the realization of certain attributes of authorship using destruction as an instrument and its possible coup – “authorship of destructiveness” as a phenomenon based on autonomy and the priority of destruction in relation to authorship. Also, the concepts of “anti-author” and “anti-gift” are being developed, offered as oppositions to the classical notions of “author” and “gift”. Herostratus is represented as the central and featuring figure of certain cultural and historical narrative, which reaches the reverse side of “caring for oneself” through the act of destruction on the way to immortality. In this case, we are talking about the anti-author as an individualization through authorship without creation and focusing the individual on himself. For the story of Herostratus homeric question is impossible because the very nature of its situation is hypertrophy of the individual author’s being, which is incompatible with co-authorship. While not being created, it exists only as a desire to get author’s dividends, and therefore, as a desire to remain the only one. No less important is the question of the gift in the context of authorship, which is turned by Herostratus into a theft. If any authorship is inextricably connected with the gift, the destructive authorship contains an anti-gift – cultural theft (forcible appropriation) of the object or subject of the subject to destruction. It is the anti-gift allows the anti-author to realize himself not only as the one who commits the destructive act, but also the one who steals attention and memory, separating them from the previous carrier and acquiring it to himself. Thus, in the article on example of Herostratus is analyzed the development of the ideas logically parallel or contradictive to the established model of authorship based on the creative act with the proposal of the concepts which are able to expand the understanding of authorship and explore it in the context of destructive aspects.

This review is devoted to the monograph by Jan Nedvěd “We do not decline our heads. The events of the year 1968 in Karlovy Vary”. The Karlovy Vary municipal museum coincided its publishing with the fiftieth anniversary of the Prague spring which, considering the way of the presentation, turned the book not only to scientific event but also to the social one. The book describes sociopolitical trends in the region before the year 1968, the development of the reformist movement, the invasion and advance of the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries, and finally the decline of the reformist mood and the beginning of the normalization. Working on his writing, the author deeply studied the materials of the local archive and gathered the unique selection of the photographs depicting the passage of the soviet army through the spa town and the protest actions of its inhabitants. In the meantime, Nedvěd takes undue freedom with scientific terms, and his selection of historiography raises questions. The author bases his research on the Czech papers and scarcely uses the books of Russian origin. He also did not study the subject of the participating of the GDR’s army in the operation Danube, although these troops were concentrated on the borders of Karlovy Vary region as well. Because of this decision, there are no materials from German archives or historiography in the monograph. In general, the work lacks the width of studying its subject, but it definitively accomplishes the task of depicting the Prague spring from the regional perspective.

While the subject of women’s activity in historical and contemporary punk scenes has attracted significant attention, the presence of trans women in punk has received comparatively little research, in spite of their increasing visibility and long history in punk. This article examines the conditions for trans women’s entrance in punk and the challenges and opportunities that it offers for their self-assertion. By linking Michel Foucault’s notion of parrhesia with the way trans women in punk do their gender, an attempt is made at showing how the embodied experience of a trans woman making herself heard from the punk stage can serve as a site of ‘gender pluralism’.
