This article offers an expanded view of making and, concomitantly, an understanding that through making we constitute the way we are in the world. The article begins with the idea that making produces a 'surrogate' of the body, which extends the body into the world, reforming the body and the world and their relationship. The ideas the article offers run counter to certain currents of thought that reduce making to a narrow cast anthropocentric crafting. Instead of this reduction, where making is merely understood and fixated as a close inembodied handicraft, the article advances: first, that all that we produce is making – not just that which is crafted by the immediacy of a hand; and, second, and linked to this expanded view of making, that all making workst hrough a distributed agency that includes human and non-human actors and actants in meshworks that extend across space – synchronous - and across time –diachronous. In other words, the body is extended into the world through what is made and this made world acts ineluctably on, and in, making. The paper references the practices of three makers to make the case for the need, bothethical and poetic, to think about making as an expanded term and to consideran intentionality of making that works through distributed agency doubly constituted as material and narrative.

Malebranche holds that sensory experience represents the world from the body’s point of view. The chapter argues that Malebranche gives a systematic analysis of this bodily perspective in terms of the claim that the five external senses and bodily awareness represent nothing but relations to the body. The external senses represent relations between external objects and the perceiver’s body. Bodily awareness represents relations between parts of the perceiver’s body and her body as a whole, and the way she is related to her body. The senses thus represent the perceiver’s body as standing in two very different sets of relations. The external senses relate the body to a world of external objects, while bodily awareness relates this same body to the perceiver herself. The perceiver’s body, for Malebranche, is the center of the system of relations that make up her sensory world, bridging the gap between self and external objects.

Carnal hermeneutics claims that the body makes sense of the world by making distinctions and evaluating those distinctions in a non-predicative mode. This article makes the case that ludohermeneutics can be enriched by attending to the way in which the body makes sense of digital games and advances carnal hermeneutics as a way of theorising this process. The article introduces carnal hermeneutics, argues for its relevance to ludo-hermeneutics, and outlines three examples of how carnal hermeneutics can be used to theorise sense-making in digital games. The first example demonstrates the capacity for touch-screen games to put us in a new relationship with the image. The second example shows how generic control schemas can take on new meanings in different games. The third example shows how marketing of game controllers draws on conventional attitudes to touch to make digital game touch meaningful.

AbstractIt seems that the revitalization of traditional rituals has been an effective way of developing a new embodiment and identity. The ability of the Canadian Mi'kmaq Indians to rework the cultural body, historically imposed on them by the dominant society, opens the way to weeding out destructive patterns unconsciously or consciously embedded historically in their bodies. The ritual opens up opportunities to explore new habitus and to employ the body in a domain shared with like-minded peers so as to facilitate new ways of approaching the world. The rituals thus provide redemptive opportunities for bodies that have been disempowered by hegemonic contexts, and simultaneously offer social affirmation of the new way of being in the world.

The article focuses on the notion of femaleness and its role in the history of salvation in the works of Clement of Alexandria. Although these are not the central themes of his considerations, he reflects on this subject against the back­ground of his magnificent vision of the incarnation of the divine Logos. The be­getting or generating of Logos by Father is the first stage of the incarnation, which is followed by the next stages: the creation of the world and of human beings, the revelation in the Old Testament and – although not directly – in the Greek philosophy. The last stage is the incarnation in Jesus Christ. All this leads towards the divinization and the unity in God. Femaleness in Clement’s work should be considered as a part of cosmic dimensions. For him, men and women are substan­tially – i.e. on the level of their souls – equal, hence in the spiritual and intellectual dimension both sexes are vested with identical dignity and enjoy equal rights. The differences between sexes are located in the body and affect various aspects of human life, mostly biological and reproductive ones, not to mention the family, community and religious reality. In practice, it is the woman who is subordinated to man due to the fact, as Clement holds, that the female body is weaker than the male one, more subjugated to passivity, less perfect and more susceptible to pas­sions. For that reason, on the way to salvation, it is the man who is the head of the woman. However, it is not an absolute subjection. If the woman goes on the way to salvation (a Christian woman), and the man does not, the Lord is the head of the woman (the divine Logos, whom she follows). All these differences resulting from the possession of a body are eliminated in eschatology, in which will be the total equality. On that way to the eschatological fulfillment, the divine Logos is indispensable. He incarnates himself and comes to the world through a woman. He chooses what is weaker in order to reveal His power. This way it is a woman, and not a man, who first experiences His divinizing closeness and action.

Important Principles in the Light of the Sermons of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq in Reforming Society. The art of Addressing is very important in Islam, Arabic is considered to be the best language in the world in terms of its comprehensiveness and beauty of expression and the Arabs also claim superiority over other nations in this regard, their claim was in the past and Even today. Especially before His  resurrection,  Arabic poetry was considered the best source of Arabic language and literature. This language was found in the form of poems and speeches. In Arabs, poetry and rhetoric were considered the most important source of ideas. Through speech, the chiefship and determination of one's own tribe was expressed. In conversation, speech was used to make others agree. Speech was considered as the first condition for ruling. People of every tribe used to acquire this art to train their children in it. After the advent of Islam, significant virtues were born in this art. When Islam came, the people of that time were proud of their language, rhetoric and eloquence. They  were so proud of their rhetoric and eloquence that they used to call the whole world “Ajami” except themselves.

Alguns comentadores e estudiosos de hoje defendem a tese de que “a religião católica teria pactuado com o império da violência”. A presente pesquisa procura verificar esta hipótese detendo-se sobre alguns momentos-chave da história da Igreja, cruciais para uma melhor compreensão de um tema tão importante e atual como o da violência em conexão com uma instituição religiosa do porte da Igreja Católica. Nossa intenção foi tirar daí algumas consequências que nos parecem importantes para esta mesma Igreja rever seu papel no mundo e sua reflexão teológica. Os momentos sobre os quais nos detemos são: I) os quatro primeiros séculos da história da Igreja, tempo de perseguições aos cristãos; 2) as Cruzadas, movimento importante da Idade Média cristã; 3) e a Inquisição, controvertida e ambí-gua instituição dentro do corpo da Igreja, que tem sido inclusive objeto de pronunciamentos do atual Papa João Paulo II.Abstract: Some present-day commentators and scholars are of the opinion that “the Catholic religion has made a pact with the empire of violence”. The research in question looks to verify this hypothesis dwelling upon some key moments in Church history, crucial for the better understanding of such an important and up-to-date theme such as violence in connection with a religious institution ofthe importance of the Catholic Church. Our intention is to take out of this some consequences which appear important to us so that this sante Church reviews its rôle in the world and its theological reflection. The moments upon which we dwell are: I) the first four centuries of Church history, the time of Christian persecution ; 2) the Crusades, an important Medieval Christian movement; 3) and the Inqui- sition, the controversial and ambiguous institution within the body ofthe Church, which has, by the way, been the object of pronouncements by the present Pope, John Paul II.

This essay considers the political form that is presupposed in questions of resistance and revolution. It situates resistance and revolution in communicative capitalism, a setting characterised by intense winner-take-all inequality, the decline of symbolic efficiency, and the shift from the use to the circulation value of communicative utterances. It draws out the way that this setting inflects the body the question of resistance and revolution presupposes. Is it the world, the individual, the network, or the party? I argue that the party is the form we need to assume when we ask about revolution because it is the party that has the capacity to strategise, to plan and to arrange itself with an eye to revolution.

Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2005 novel Never Let Me Go follows a group of genetic clones who are created as wards of the British health service because they serve a utilitarian function: They are manufactured for the purpose of having their vital organs harvested until their death. The world he envisions of a grouping of humans reproduced to be a living warehouse of organs while certainly dreadful is nowhere near as horrific as when organ transplantation and global uneven development intersect in our neoliberal present. Ishiguro shows how humans who view their humanity instrumentally expedite a world that is ready to slice them into shares, monetizing all the parts along the way. Through Ishiguro’s text, I diagnose the reification of the body as an aggregation of fungible body parts. Human reification challenges bioethicists and cultural critics alike to reflect on how human dignity and bodily integrity no longer serve as barriers for marking the species-limit due to new advances in biotechnology.
