Philosophical Movement

The article examines the specifics of the translation of postmodern philosophical termi- nology. The authors explore Russian translations of the works of the modern French postmodernist philosophers Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard and Jacques Derrida. Postmodernism as a philosophical movement is based on the concept of radical plurality. It is characterised by the multiplicity of dimensions and types of analysis. The authors look into the problem of choosing strategies for the translation of postmodern terminology and analyse the dilemma translators have to face: how to manoeuvre between polysemy and ambiguity in the translation of philosophical terms. The article analyses the translation of Foucault’s seminal work Les Mots et les Choses (translated by Avtonomova and Vizgin). Special attention is paid to the problem of translation of the postmodern terms discourse and episteme. Another focus of research is the analysis of the translation of Baudrillard’s work Simulacres et Simulation (translated by Pechenkina). In the final part of the article, the authors analyse the peculiarities of the translation of Derrida's treatise into Russian.

Il saggio, nato da una conferenza sul tema della democrazia organizzata da "Attac", č una trattazione della questione dei processi di individualizzazione e disindividualizzazione in relazione all'impegno politico che ripercorre la produzione sociologica recente e attraversa le analisi di autori come Norbert Elias, Jacques Derrida e Michel Foucault. Particolare attenzione č rivolta al problema dei presupposti impliciti operanti nell'analisi sociologica e a quanto da essi deriva sul piano valutativo. L'autore, che propone un recupero critico della nozione di individualitÀ, mette in guardia da un lato rispetto a una considerazione atemporale delle categorie sociologiche e politiche, dall'altro rispetto alle riduzioni semplificanti dell'individualismo di cui sottolinea invece l'irriducibile complessitÀ.

Resumo O considerado inimputável é absolvido por não entender o caráter ilícito de seu ato, embora, por medida de segurança, seja internado compulsoriamente em um hospital de custódia e tratamento psiquiátrico (HCTP): uma instituição pertencente ao sistema penitenciário. Cria-se assim a ambígua figura dolouco infrator - ora criminoso, ora doente mental - que raramente vimos contemplada em discussões e ações nas áreas da saúde e do direito. Ainda menos acolhido será aquele que atentar contra a vida de seus genitores: o chamado parricida. A partir dos aportes teóricos de Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben e Jacques Derrida, este trabalho discute discursos e práticas que se debruçam tanto sobre a questão da loucura, da infração e do parricídio quanto sobre a instituição do HCTP como modalidade de contenção e encaminhamento para os inimputáveis; assim como serão apresentadas discussões a partir das falas de pessoas classificadas como loucas, infratoras, parricidas - internadas em um HCTP.

CONSTITUTIONALISM AND THE „REVENGE OF POSTMODERNISM”The main purpose of this article is to discuss the current situation of constitutional discourse as aresult of „Revenge of postmodernism”. This „Revenge” shows itself in taking over the methods of the leftist critique of democratic institutions by the radical right. This „Barbarization” of subtle methods of left-wing criticism leads to far-reaching consequences unforeseen by its founding fathers — Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida or Judith Butler. The author, using various theories formulated by Chantal Mouffe, Ernesto Laclau and Artur Kozak, seeks to explain this phenomenon and to show its implications for the future evolution of the constitutional discourse.

Violencia Urbana

Este trabalho quer investigar os fatores que possibilitam a recorrente presença dos segmentos socialmente marginalizados na produção de documentários brasileiros após 1993 ou da “retomada”. Nosso enfoque concentra-se nos documentários que apresentam como personagens pessoas ou grupos diretamente vinculados ao contexto de violência urbana. Partimos do pressuposto que a visibilidade conquistada por esses setores relaciona-se, de uma forma ou de outra, às demarcações da “diferença” e às estruturas de poder. Para tanto, tomaremos como referência a leitura do conceito de différance, de Jacques Derrida, empreendida por Stuart Hall e os estudos sobre formações e estruturas de poder realizados por Michel Foucault e Gilles Deleuze

My essay focuses on the ontological crisis articulated in the film Blade Runner 2049, the sequel for Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. This film is based on the conflict between humans and androids called replicants who would like to live equally to humans. In my opinion the root of their opposition lies on the inability to give a proper definition of what we normally call ‘human’. In this writing I present and analyse the nature of this conflict and also the philosophical questions (representation, freedom, self-identity etc.) arising from it based on the ideas of philosophers like Michel Foucault. Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida and Ferdinand de Saussure.

The Way

This article used some postmodern literary theories of philosophers such as Jean-Fran�ois Lyotard, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Julia Kristeva to scrutinise a selection of texts from the post-exilic period with regard to the exclusive language employed in these texts. Lyotard�s insights relate to and complement Foucault�s concept of �counter-memory�. Foucault also focuses on the network of discursive powers that operate behind texts and reproduce them, arguing that it is important to have a look from behind so as to see which voices were silenced by the specific powers behind texts. The author briefly looked at different post-exilic texts within identity-finding contexts, focusing especially on Chronicles and a few Qumran texts, to examine the way in which they used language to create identity and to empower the community in their different contexts. It is generally accepted that both the author(s) of 1 & 2 Chronicles and the Qumran community used texts selectively, with their own nuances, omissions and additions. This study scrutinised the way the author(s) of Chronicles and the Qumran community used documents selectively, focusing on the way in which they used exclusive language. It is clear that all communities used such language in certain circumstances to strengthen a certain group�s identity, to empower them and to legitimise this group�s conduct, behaviour and claims � and thereby exclude other groups.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: Based on postmodern literary theories, this article compares the exclusive language used in Chronicles and in the texts of the Qumran community, pointing to the practice of creating identity and empowering through discourse. In conclusion, the article reflects on what is necessary in a South African context, post-1994, to be a truly democratic country.Keywords: Exclusive language; inclusive; Jean-Fran�ois Lyotard, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu; Derrida; Qumran Chronicles

Ethical Stance

In this essay James Corby questions the dominant future-oriented nature of the ethical turn of theory and philosophy in the final decades of the twentieth century and its aesthetic influence. Focusing in particular upon the ethical position of Jacques Derrida, Corby argues that the desire to avoid the closure of the contemporary and to preserve the possibility of difference by cultivating a radical attentiveness to that which is ‘to come’ often risks a too complete disengagement from the present, leading to an empty and ineffectual ethical stance that actually preserves the contemporary situation that it seeks to open up. Corby makes a case for this theoretical investment in the possibility of a non-contemporary (typically futural) rupture as being understood as forming part of a far-reaching romantic tradition. In opposition to this tradition he sketches a post-romantic alternative that would understand difference as an immanent, rather than imminent, matter. He argues that this should be considered congruent with a countertextual impulse oriented not towards a revelatory futurity, but, rather, towards the possible displacements, dislocations, and transformations already inherent in the contemporary. The final part of the essay develops this idea, positioning countertextuality as the articulation of alternative contemporaries. In this regard, the literature of the future is not ‘to come’, it is already here. The challenge is to recognise it as such, and this means being prepared to modify and change the conceptual apparatus that guides us in our thinking of literature and the arts.

The Absolute

The article focuses on the issue of phenomenon of cinema in works of Jean-Francois Lyotard, Henri Bergson, Roland Barth, Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard. Postmodern methodology allows one to view cinema as a “deconstruction” of both cultural and socio-political discourse. Based on the analysis of the works of philosophers, the author generalizes the phenomenological characteristics of the cinema of postmodernism, such as the hypnotic ritualism of cinema; devaluation of meta-narratives; and appeal to the absolute “banal” and “hyper-realities”. It is noted that the spread of postmodern tendencies in modern cinema is manifested in drama, imagery, stylistics, montage and other components of the creative process. The author concludes that Jean-Francois Lyotard, Henri Bergson, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard have laid the foundations for understanding the unity of philosophy and cinema in the modern world.
