Core Solution

Goldberg has argued in several writings of his that our social context is crucial in determining whether we believe responsibly or not. In this reply to his criticisms, I explore whether my Influence Account of responsible belief can do justice to this social dimension of responsible belief. I discuss the case of Nancy the scientist, that of Fernando the doctor, and that of Janice who promises Ismelda to shovel her lane. I argue that the core solution to the challenges these cases provide is to distinguish between different kinds of intellectual obligations, such as epistemic, moral, and professional obligations. My Influence Account leaves plenty of room to make these distinctions. Even though my account is not primarily meant as an account of epistemically justified belief but rather as an account of responsible belief, I also argue that it can accommodate our intuitions about various important cases of epistemically (un)justified belief.

This article is based on the assumption that language is not in a social vacuum. Language is more than a set of words that merely linguistic, but also social. Therefore, the current linguistic research should take into account the social dimension in the analysis are critical, such as van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis (CDA) research model. The critical discourse analysis research  considering the text, context, social cognition, and analysis/social context. Research steps include: exposing the macro structure (thematic), superstructure (schematic), and microstructure consisting of semantics, syntax, stylistic, and rhetoric. Accordingly, this study uses the method read and record while research data has been collected from Suara Merdeka and Kompas newspaper.

An important result when communicating is to gain a deeper understanding and that meaning is created by the reciever of that which is communicated by the transmitter. This can in a way be described as the core of the pedagogical communication. The premise of this study is that the pedagogical communication can be understood and explained by means of the financial reports (1), oral presentation (2), using concepts and illustrations (3) and by the social context, the group where the communication takes place (4). The theoretical areas that form the basis of the first question in this study, how the communication can be designed, are based on these four areas. In a second part 111 CFOs in Swedish municipalities responded, via a web-based questionnaire, how they work with these areas. The result shows that they are largely working with several of the pedagogical areas, such as in the financial reports and oral presentations but that there are also areas such as the social context and the group's importance in the pedagogical communication that are not as developed. Although much is already working well, there are areas that can be developed to get the pedagogical communication of financial information to work even better.

The thesis of internal colonialism reveals the realities that different populations face, and posits that even populations that are within the core central regions of the capitalist world-system are victims of certain exploitation models more typical of the colonial periphery. This article reviews this thesis about internal colonialism with the aim of freeing it from its rigid structuralism and bringing it closer to other perspectives, such as the post-colonialist and decolonialist views, which could ultimately enhance its usefulness as a theoretical tool. Furthermore, this paper addresses the need for an exploration of the social dimension that accompanies internal colonialism, somewhat neglected by the traditional thesis, in light of a conceptual proposition that emphasizes the genesis and transformation of different colonial identities and highlights internal colonialism as an identityfixing dispositive. Finally, this paper briefly examines the Galician case of internal colonialism to demonstrate the potential offered by this new theoretical approach.

Social media continues to proliferate. This article presents a qualitative analysis of twelve cases of social-media-based knowledge sharing. The analysis reveals six categories of knowledge sharing in the social context. The analysis indicates that personalization of the organization entities and socialization of the participation on social media for knowledge sharing are two key success factors. The findings suggest that the social dimension, which has been absent from the traditional knowledge management models, broadens the scope of sustainable knowledge sharing practices in the digital society.

Considerable Discussion

Forgiveness and mercy are regarded as virtues in many moral and religious traditions, although different traditions will emphasize different aspects. The Christian tradition, for example, tends to emphasize purity of heart as the core of the virtue of forgiveness, whereas the Judaic tradition gives priority to the social dimension of reintegration into the covenanted community. Forgiveness involves the overcoming of anger and resentment, and mercy involves the withholding of harsh treatment that one has a right to inflict. Both allow for healing, but some critics would say that this healing may come at too high a price. Forgiveness, if carried to extremes, can lapse into servility, entailing a loss of self-respect. There are similar paradoxes associated with mercy, particularly in the context of punishment; too strong an emphasis on mercy can lead to a departure from justice. Clearly, though both forgiveness and mercy are obvious virtues, there are difficulties in putting them into practice in the complex situations that make up everyday reality. Recently there has been considerable discussion in philosophy and law of the role that apology might play in earning forgiveness or mercy.

Resumo: O objetivo principal deste artigo é o de pensar de que forma há a ressonância da vida social brasileira na poesia de Ferreira Gullar (2001) e na de Tarso de Melo (2017), especificamente nas obras: Dentro da noite veloz, do primeiro, e Íntimo desabrigo, do segundo. Também se expõe a hipótese interpretativa de que em ambos surge uma espécie de “neorrealismo”, mas muito mais agudo e desenvolvido em Ferreira Gullar, com sua sede pelo referencial, pela realidade em toda a sua crueza. Por fim, conclui-se que ambos os poetas retratam de maneira contundente o contexto social brasileiro, com grande vigor expressivo e gerando poemas que tendem a permanecer não só enquanto retrato de uma época, mas, nos melhores casos, como produções artísticas de alto valor estético.Palavras-chave: Ferreira Gullar; Tarso de Melo; poesia social; neorrealismo.Abstract: The main objective of this article is to think about the resonance of Brazilian social life in Ferreira Gullar (2001) and Tarso de Melo (2017) poetry, specifically in the works: Into the fast night, of the first, and Intimate homelessness, of the second. It also exposes the interpretive hypothesis that in both a kind of “neorealism” appears, but much acuter and developed in Ferreira Gullar, with his desire to be referential, for the reality in all its rawness. Finally, it is concluded that both poets strongly portray the Brazilian social context, with great expressive vigor and generating poems that tend to remain not only as a portrait of an era, but, in the best cases, as high-value artistic productions aesthetic.Keywords: Ferreira Gullar; Tarso de Melo; social poetry; neorealism.

AbstractThe empirical turn, understood as a turn to the artifact in the work of Ihde, has been a fruitful one, which has rightly abandoned what Serres and Latour call “the empire of signs” of the postmoderns. However, this has unfortunately implied too little attention for language and its relation to technology. The same can be said about the social dimension of technology use, which is largely neglected in postphenomenology. This talk critically responds to Ihde (mainly) and Stiegler, and sketches a Wittgensteinian inroad to a more holistic and transcendental revision of postphenomenology which does not turn away from the artifact but places it in a wider social context and asks the question regarding the relation between language and technology. Finally, since the earth may be the ultimate condition of possibility, it is asked what this language-sensitive and transcendental approach may imply for rethinking our human position and agency in the Anthropocene. The paper ends with pointing to the role of language as transcendental condition that shapes the very project of thinking the “Anthropocene.”

This introductory chapter contextualizes three different competing German theater groups within the cultural backdrop of Argentina as well as German exilic literature. In doing so, the chapter describes a gap within German exile studies where it concerns the artistic output of Germans abroad. Additionally, it briefly demonstrates the link between the disparate disciplines of German, Jewish, Latin American, and migration studies as they are understood across historiography, dramatic theory, and literary criticism. Here, theater is the stage upon which these competing forces meet. At the core of their emphasis on the dramatic genre is the concept of theater as a community-building institution. The chapter thus reveals the social dimension of theater and how it applies to this volume's themes.
