Event Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2015 6:15pm | Event Description: Rens Bod, professor at University of Amsterdam, sketches the longue durée of the pattern-seeking tradition in the humanities and compares it to the interpretative tradition. Bod argues that interpretations were not always in opposition to pattern-seeking, but were often constructed on the patterns found. The common wisdom that the humanities are moving towards science when they search for patterns is mistaken. Instead, the search for patterns has been a continuous line in the humanities from Antiquity onwards.

Empathy and affect: what can empathied bodies do? | Medical HumanitiesEmpathy and affect: what can empathied bodies do? | Medical Humanities
While there has been much interest in the apparent benefits of empathy in improving outcomes of medical care, there is continuing concern over the philosophical nature of empathy. We suggest that part of the difficulty in coming to terms with empathy is due to the modernist dichotomies that have structured Western medical discourse, such that doctor and patient, knower and known, cognitive and emotional, subject and object are situated in oppositional terms, with the result that such accounts cannot coherently encompass an emotional doctor, or a patient as knower, or empathy as other than a possession or a trait. This paper explores what, by contrast, a radical critique of the Cartesian world view, in the form of a Deleuzean theoretical framework, would open up in new perspectives on empathy. We extend the framework of emotional geography to ask what happens when people are affected by empathy. We suggest that doctors and patients might be more productively understood as embodied subjects that ...

Neth Space: September 2009Neth Space: September 2009
The Age of Misrule is proving to be a fantastic read. Adding a bit to what is explored in a fantastic review at rob will review, in the Age of Misrule Chadbourn presents something of the anti-Tolkien fantasy, while embracing many of its standards. Tolkien explores Britains mythology by creating a world where magic is leaving, and humanity in all its imperfection is rising. Chadbourn explores Britains mythology by taking our world and bringing back the magic, myths and legend - a world where humanity may be on the way out. All at once, humanity looses science, technology, and religion. Chadbourn shows us a world where all humanity has is each other as they fight for survival and they slowly understand what they may have gained through their loss. This is an exploration of humanity - the reality of humanity rather than its ideals, what has been lost through science, technology, and dogmatic religion, and what just might be gained. This is a series that has completely captured me and I cant wait ...

The Ecology of PoetryThe Ecology of Poetry
This reflective fad foreshadows some of the tensions current between nature poetry, ecological poetry, and ecological issues. And these tensions are linked to the perceived problems of contemporary experimental American poetry itself that is, that it is somehow out of touch, cloistered, urban, interior. As Jonathan Skinner says in the introduction to his new literary journal, Ecopoetics, "walks do not make it into the closed environments of today s best poetry." However, Juliana Spahr has pointed out in recent readings and essays that such poetry, the poetry of "walks," smacks of old-fashioned Nature poetry, a poetry that, says Spahr, doesn t include the "bulldozer" along with the "bird." But then there s the other extreme, a poetry that too obviously delineates the battles between bulldozer and bird, and expects deep yet instant change in human actions toward the environment, while making no deep and intrinsic change within its own poetical structure. Ecopoetics showcases a more experimental ...

Crime Against Humanity and Individual Guilt | Inter Press ServiceCrime Against Humanity and Individual Guilt | Inter Press Service
The International Criminal Court is an intergovernmental tribunal with jurisdiction to prosecute individuals accused of committing crimes of genocide (the intentional destruction of a group of people), crimes against humanity (mainly violations of the UN Charter),1 war crimes (mainly violations of the Geneva Conventions), and crimes of aggression (when a person plans, initiates or executes an act of aggression using state military force violating the UN Charter). The IIC has in great detail specified these crimes and has since its establishment in 2003 indicted 44 individuals, some of them influential, national leaders - former presidents like Sudan´s Omar al-Bashir and Ivory Coast´s Laurent Gbagbo and Uhuru Kenyatta, who recently was re-elected as Kenya´s president. The International Criminal Court is controversial, particularly since it is at a nexus where politics/ideologies merge with individual guilt.. Jurisprudence has since the ruthless European wars of the sixteenth century discussed ...

Poetry - WikipediaPoetry - Wikipedia
Some 20th-century literary theorists, relying less on the opposition of prose and poetry, focused on the poet as simply one who creates using language, and poetry as what the poet creates.[28] The underlying concept of the poet as creator is not uncommon, and some modernist poets essentially do not distinguish between the creation of a poem with words, and creative acts in other media. Yet other modernists challenge the very attempt to define poetry as misguided.[29] The rejection of traditional forms and structures for poetry that began in the first half of the 20th century coincided with a questioning of the purpose and meaning of traditional definitions of poetry and of distinctions between poetry and prose, particularly given examples of poetic prose and prosaic poetry. Numerous modernist poets have written in non-traditional forms or in what traditionally would have been considered prose, although their writing was generally infused with poetic diction and often with rhythm and tone ...

Behind the Lines: Poetry, War, & Peacemaking: October 2011Behind the Lines: Poetry, War, & Peacemaking: October 2011
McGrath: One is the kind of poetry that might be called tactical, about some immediate thing: a strike, lets say; some immediate event. The poet should give it as much clarity and strength as he can give it without falling into political slogans, clichés and so on. I also thought we needed another kind of poetry that is not keyed necessarily to immediate events, a poetry in which the writer trusts himself enough to write about whatever comes along, with the assumption that what he is doing will be, in the long run, useful, consciousness raising or enriching. A strategic poetry, lets say. There have been a lot of tactical poems directed to particular things, and those poems now are good in a certain sort of way, but the events they were about have moved out from under them, Somebody asked Engels, "What happened to all the revolutionary poetry of 1848?" He replied: "It died with the political prejudices of the time." That is bound to be the fate of a lot of tactical poetry. But thats O.K. If ...
Poetry for the Nervous, Vol 2: Whats useful?Poetry for the Nervous, Vol 2: What's useful?
In the maiden voyage of this column, Poetry for the Nervous, Vol 1, I led with the principle that what you love, what strikes you, what moves you in poetry is what matters. Critics do not matter. The judgments of others do not matter. Poetry is yours to dispose as your heart dictates. If your teachers or friends impose upon you some poem or poet they champion, and you just dont get it, there is no need to think yourself stupid or inadequate, nor to give up on poetry as a whole. You will find what you love eventually, because poetry in its essence is as deep within us as our desire to communicate.. From an appeal towards what you love, Ill work into something a bit less romantic. I think the best poetry is also useful. Thats a dangerous word in the world of art, wrapped up as it is in the most ancient debates about aesthetics and utility, but Im always ready to argue that gallery art is great, but does it really beat, say, a well crafted chair that is beautiful to behold, and is also very ...
Should the social sciences be like the natural sciences?Should the social sciences be like the natural sciences?
In opposition to this we have the German distinction between nomothetic natural sciences in search of laws and explanations and idiographic social sciences / humanities in search of meaning and understanding. The tradition emphasizing the latter (von Humboldt, Herder, Dilthey et. al.) insisted on the irreducible historical particularity of national characters or cultures. This particularity could not be mechanically explained by reductionist appeals to natural laws, but could be understood (verstehen) which involved empathy and a degree of subjectivity (the self-reflexive culturally embedded position of the scholar was a factor). Anti-positivist Dilthey was an influence of Franz Boas who is widely considered the father of modern American anthropology and who was an important critic of evolutionist pseudo-history and scientific racism. It is arguably through Boas that culture, "folk psychology," the natives point of view, and cultural relativism became to hold such prominence in American ...
The dramatic rise in carbon dioxide emissions - DON AITKINThe dramatic rise in carbon dioxide emissions - DON AITKIN
The fundamental reason why the "Greens" oppose shale oil and gas is because their real target is not climate at all, but oil and gas companies (throw all coal business into the pot for good measure). It is the companies they seek to destroy and the climate fairy tale is just a pretext. The reason, in turn, why they seek to destroy oil and gas companies, is because they see them as the foundation of wealth and prosperity around the world, but especially in the West, in which they are correct. So, if they can hit oil and gas, they pull down the whole of humanity with it, in particular all the democratic and prosperous societies of the West.. The "Greens" hate humanity. There has never been such an anti-humanistic movement in humanitys political history.. From the point of view of climate science, it makes no sense at all to talk about human CO2 emissions, while ignoring natural emissions and natural CO2 absorption. Human emissions are only about 4% of all CO2 emissions-most of which comes from ...

And well remind each other how deeply we love one another. But, there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight, and they need all of us right now.. Sarah McConnell: Seven years later Sandy Hook still haunts the public imagination. Henry Hart, the new poet laureate of Virginia, turns to poetry in response..

Over the last two centuries, Ireland has produced some of the worlds most outstanding and best-loved poets, from Thomas Moore to W. B. Yeats to Seamus Heaney. This introduction not only provides an essential overview of the history and development of poetry in Ireland, but also offers new approaches to aspects of the field. Justin Quinn argues that the language issues of Irish poetry have been misconceived and re-examines the divide between Gaelic and Anglophone poetry. Quinn suggests an alternative to both nationalist and revisionist interpretations and fundamentally challenges existing ideas of Irish poetry. This lucid book offers a rich contextual background against which to read the individual works, and pays close attention to the major poems and poets. Readers and students of Irish poetry will learn much from Quinns sharp and critically acute account. ...
The Sounds of Poetry: A Brief Guide | Poets & WritersThe Sounds of Poetry: A Brief Guide | Poets & Writers
Poetry is a vocal, which is to say a bodily, art," Robert Pinsky declares in The Sounds of Poetry. "The medium of poetry is the human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth. In this sense, poetry is as physical or bodily an art as dancing." In this book, the former poet laureate explains how poets use the "technology" of poetry (its sounds) to create works of art that are "performed" in us when we read them aloud.. ...
National Poetry Month Featured Poet: Kenji Liu | ENTROPYNational Poetry Month Featured Poet: Kenji Liu | ENTROPY
1) Why poetry?. Language has always been a complicated arena for me as an immigrant. I remember very clearly the first time someone tried to standardize my use of English. I was very young, and as an adult writer today, I use multilingualism to push standard US English to the point of breaking. For me, poetry is the best way to do that.. 2) Do you feel like poetry is more or less important & relevant today?. Compared to what? To me, the occasional declaration that poetry is dead or irrelevant or has always seemed to be irrelevant clickbait. Anti-intellectual tendencies in USAmerican society are disappointing since poets have a much higher status as artists, public intellectuals, and cultural critics in other countries. I think poets and other artists have a responsibility to critique and be critical of the status quo, especially since we reside in the center of the Death Star. We are rewarded more for going along with the mainstream, for writing poetry that does not find a way to challenge. For ...
In Defense of Schizophrenia Poetry - The Schizophrenic WriterIn Defense of Schizophrenia Poetry - The Schizophrenic Writer
By Dan Hoeweler. This article makes multiple false and misleading assumptions, one of which is the claim that people suffering from Schizophrenia and psychotic disorders are incapable of producing quality poetry due to the nature of their illness. I am a Certified Peer Specialist that suffers from Schizoaffective disorder and have written poetry that has been published in multiple magazines, psychology websites and street papers. If Dr Rothenbergs were correct in this highly prejudiced and inaccurate article then this would have never been the case. The author is selectively using examples of people writing poetry under psychotic duress in an attempt to prove his false claim. While it may be impossible to produce sensible poetry during a psychotic episode, there are times when a patient is lucid and able to rationalize their thoughts and ideas. During these times it is possible to produce poetry based upon the psychotic thought process. In fact I personally have found it therapeutic to do so, ...

and Free Activity in LanguageSchneider (background) - Calculus and Imagination: Interplay of Fixed Structure and Free Activity in Language
Lecture 1: Scientific Method and Cultural Identity (H.J.Schneider). I now turn to the question how in the humanities investigations can be conducted that are on the one hand open to rational argument (and insofar proceed according to a scientific method in a broad sense) and that on the other hand do not constitute a danger to the cultural identity of the people under investigation. If we now speak of scientific method, this term cannot mean a neutral, objective method of collecting independently existing facts, e.g. by the method of prepared questionnaires that sociologists have favoured for some time. Fleck and Kuhn have shown this even for the natural sciences. On their field often at least a common goal exists, namely that of controlling a particular natural process. Insofar as it is clear what a control would consist in, it is often possible to agree upon what is a success and what is a failure on the way to to this goal. Since in the humanities our goal is (or should be) to ...
Literature and Epistemology • Department of Philosophy and HumanitiesLiterature and Epistemology • Department of Philosophy and Humanities
The cooperation between literary theory and epistemological foundation is constitutive for all forms of literature in antiquity. In the 3rd century B.C. the claim of the Alexandrian poets that they would surpass the style of poetry prior to them and replace it with a radically new, methodologically conscious poetry was based on a new theory of knowledge. The epistemological turn - demonstratively put forth by the three Hellenistic schools - contested the leading role given previously to the ratio in aesthetic production and established the phantasia - the faculty of the imagination - as the new authority in literature.. Inspired by many different directions in literary studies, the last few decades of the 20th century has seen a reinterpretation of ancient literature using the conceptual and methodological apparatus available in current literary theories. In such a reinterpretation, genuinely modern elements of literature are supposed to be discovered as already present in ancient texts. ...

Keywords: poetry - painting - ekphrasis - time - philosophy of time - imagery Poetry, imagery and time are large, signicant concepts, even without considering the relations between them, and this paper does not pretend to deal with them thoroughly.
