In particular, the author draws upon the works of Jean-Luc Marion and Richard Kearney who take up the task of scrutinizing the heritage of phenomenological thought. Both thinkers address the questions arising from philosophy’s renewed interest in religion initiated in twentieth-century post-phenomenology. The analysis concentrates on bodily pain and love ecstasies as the modalities of human flesh. The author of the paper adapts for the purposes of literary criticism Jean-Luc Marion’s concept of a “saturated phenomenon” which surprises and bedazzles the perceiving subject by overflowing his or her intention at the moment of its unexpected arrival. The aim of the article is to highlight the religious and philosophical potential of Metaphysical Poetry. The poems of John Donne which I intend to analyse in this paper are informed by the same fascination with the circuits of enfleshed pain and love (both human and divine) which characterize the philosophical debates in our times. In my read- ing of Donne’s poetry I will refer to the work of Jean-Luc Marion and Richard Kearney, who take up the task of scrutinizing the heritage of phenomenological reflection, and address the questions arising from philosophy’s renewed interest in religion, initiated in twentieth-century post-phenomenology. Introducing Mari- on’s concept of a saturated phenomenon, I shall make use of the phenomenologi- cal insights which inform T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. This brief poetological and philosophical introduction will serve as a basis for a reading of three poems by John Donne: “Hymne to God my God, in my sicknesse” (336–337), “A Lecture upon the Shadow” (63–64) and “The good-morrow” (7–8). 1. The Threshold of Wonder The very title of Jean-Luc Marion’s work, The Visible and the Revealed, reflects the author’s involvement in what has been widely recognized as the religious 6 Małgorzata Grzegorzewska turn in continental philosophy.

  • Lecture 27 Epilogue How Far Does the Past Dominate Polish Politics Today? 'Choose the Future' Election Slogan of Alexander K
    - 1 - Lecture 27 Epilogue How far does the past dominate Polish politics today? ‘Choose the future’ Election slogan of Alexander Kwaśniewski in 1996. ‘We are today in the position of Andrzej Gołota: after seven rounds, we are winning on points against our historical fatalism. As rarely in our past - today almost everything depends on us ourselves... In the next few years, Poland’s fate for the succeeding half- century will be decided. And yet Poland has the chance - like Andrzej Gołota, to waste its opportunity. We will not enter NATO of the European Union if we are a country beset by a domestic cold war, a nation so at odds with itself that one half wants to destroy the other. Adam Michnik, ‘Syndrom Gołoty’, Gazeta Świąteczna, 22 December 1996 ‘I do not fear the return of communism, but there is a danger of new conflicts between chauvinism and nationalist extremism on the one hand and tolerance, liberalism and Christian values on the other’ Władysław Bartoszewski on the award to him of the Heinrich Heine prize, December 1996 1. Introduction: History as the Means for Articulating Political Orientations In Poland, as in most countries which have been compelled to struggle to regain their lost independence, an obsessive involvement with the past and a desire to derive from it lessons of contemporary relevance have long been principal characteristics of the political culture. Polish romantic nationalism owed much to Lelewel’s concept of the natural Polish predilection for democratic values. The Polish nation was bound, he felt, to struggle as ‘ambassador to humanity’ and, through its suffering, usher in an era on universal liberty.

  • Difference, Identification, Evolution
    DIFFERENCE, IDENTIFICATION, EVOLUTION: POSTHUMANISM AS PARADIGMATIC SHIFT IN CONTEMPORARY SPECULATIVE FICTION BY BETHANY DOANE A THESIS IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH TOWSON UNIVERSITY TOWSON, MARYLAND 21252 MAY, 2013 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of Dr. Jennifer Ballengee, who served not only as a committee chair, but also as a mentor, editor, and friend during the research and composition of this project. I would also like to thank Dr. George Hahn, Dr. Erin Fehskens, and Dr. Peter Baker, who also provided guidance and advice throughout the writing process. Lastly, I would like to give special thanks to my husband, Jeff, (who was not yet my husband when this project started) for putting up with me and my many neurotic research and writing habits. Thank you all so much. ii ABSTRACT Difference, Identification, Evolution: Posthumanism as Paradigmatic Shift in Contemporary Speculative Fiction Bethany Doane This study is an initial attempt to investigate the ways that posthumanism manifests within three works of contemporary speculative fiction: Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2010), Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2005) and Richard Powers’s Galatea 2.2 (1995). Posthumanism seeks to overturn the assumptions of liberal humanism, which places “the human” as the central, most important, and possibly only ethical subject in order to recognize inhuman beings—whether they be animal, clone, or artificial intelligence—as legitimate ethical subjects. At the same time, it recognizes that human beings and technology are intimately bound together.

  • AIB Newsletter Regularly Informs Our Membership of Recent Developments in the Academy
    Academy of International Business NewsletterVol. 24, No. 4, 2018 Letter from the President The AIB Newsletter regularly informs our membership of recent developments in the Academy. As the President, I would like to draw your attention to several articles of particular interest in this edition. In our AIB Mission, Vision, and Values statement, one key value is integrity. We believe in prac- ticing the highest ethical principles in our research, education, and professional lives. In reality, Chuck C . Y . Kwok however, AIB program chairs and journal editors are confronted with cases of unethical conduct. To provide clear policies and procedures to address these cases, the AIB board established two standing committees: the Ethics Policy Committee (EPC) and Ethics Review Committee (ERC). The former is respon- sible for the interpretation, implementation, and dissemination of the AIB Code of Ethics while the latter is responsible for the investigation of ethics violations. While the full AIB Code of Ethics is available on the association’s website, Denis Arnold, the EPC Chair, has contributed an article to this issue which provides a detailed examination of its development process. We IB scholars are sometimes criticized for being “too academic,” producing research that’s disconnected from events in the “real world.” The Academy of International Business is making efforts to bridge this gap. In our annual AIB confer- ences, we invite practitioners to share their thoughts and have dialogues with our members at special panels. We also en- courage our members to participate in practitioner-organized conferences to explain the practical relevance of our academ- ic research.

    VOLUME 12, NUMBER 9, MAY 1st, 2004 Immigrants Are Picked Up Immigration and Defense Force Pick up Haitians in Several Locations By Jennifer Hudson At approximately 4.30 p.m. on April 29th Fishing Tournaments Are in Full Swing four Haitians were pulled from the water by Immigration and Defense Force person- nel after they were apprehended trying to swim away to avoid being taken into cus- tody after Immigration Officers boarded the Guana Cay ferry.

  • Art, Artist, and Witness(Ing) in Canada's Truth and Reconciliation
    Dance with us as you can…: Art, Artist, and Witness(ing) in Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Journey by Jonathan Robert Dewar A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous and Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017, Jonathan Robert Dewar Abstract This dissertation explores, through in-depth interviews, the perspectives of artists and curators with regard to the question of the roles of art and artist – and the themes of community, responsibility, and practice – in truth, healing, and reconciliation during the early through late stages of the 2008-2015 mandate of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC), as its National Events, statement taking, and other programming began to play out across the country. The author presents the findings from these interviews alongside observations drawn from the unique positioning afforded to him through his professional work in healing and reconciliation-focused education and research roles at the Aboriginal Healing Foundation (2007-2012) and the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre (2012-2016) about the ways art and artists were invoked and involved in the work of the TRC, alongside it, and/or in response to it. A chapter exploring Indigenous writing and reconciliation, with reference to the work of Basil Johnston, Jeannette Armstrong, Tomson Highway, Maria Campbell, Richard Wagamese, and many others, leads into three additional case studies. The first explores the challenges of exhibiting the legacies of Residential Schools, focusing on Jeff Thomas’ seminal curatorial work on the archival photograph-based exhibition Where Are the Children? Healing the Legacy of Residential Schools and Heather Igloliorte’s curatorial work on the exhibition ‘We were so far away…’: The Inuit Experience of Residential Schools, itself a response to feedback on Where Are the Children? Both examinations draw extensively from the author’s interviews with the curators.

  • Writing in Polish in Australia
    ‘Waltzing St Kilda’: Writing in Polish in Australia MARY BESEMERES AND KATARZYNA KWAPISZ WILLIAMS THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY Introduction This article presents an overview of literature in Polish produced in Australia. As Michael Jacklin has argued (2009), while Australian literature is increasingly viewed as ‘transnational,’ LOTE (Languages Other Than English) writing in Australia ‘has yet to be recognised.’ Multilingual Australian writing constitutes a hidden history within Australian literary studies. This history has the potential to change radically both the accepted parameters of Australian literary studies and existing preconceptions about what Australian literature is. Polish-language writing is one such hidden history, which we believe deserves wider recognition. The two largest waves of emigration from Poland to Australia took place in the decade after the Second World War (ca. 1947–1956), and in the 1980s and ‘90s, in the wake of General Jaruzelski’s introduction of martial law in 1981, intended to suppress the opposition movement, Solidarity (Kujawa 142). Our primary focus in this article is the literature in Polish created by authors who came to Australia as part of these two waves. We also discuss the work of Liliana Rydzyńska, who arrived in Australia in 1969, i.e. between the two waves. We then offer a brief survey of more recent writing in Polish in Australia, from 2000 till the present. We close with reference to work produced in English by Australian authors of Polish-speaking heritage, such as Peter Skrzynecki and Magda Szubanski. A working assumption of this paper is that national categories such as ‘Polish Australian,’ while useful, often fail to do justice to the complexity of individual writers’ ethnic and cultural identities.
