Bogaard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Quests for my own word are in fact quests for a word that is not my own, a word that is more than myself; this is a striving to depart from one’s own words, with which nothing essential can be said. ______Mikhail Bakhtin Voor mijn geliefde vader, Jan Bogaard, die me aanmoedigde om kritische vragen te stellen; maar die me bovenal leerde te geloven als een kind. (“To my beloved father, Jan Bogaard, who encouraged me to ask critical questions; most importantly, who taught me to believe with childlike innocence.”) iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dr. Simonetta Moro, I thank you for your deep commitment in helping me succeed with the dissertation writing process. It was such a privilege working with you. We first met when I took the oral exam in 2012. You were on the exam committee, an unlikely circumstance for bonding with new faculty. But I felt an instant connection there and then. I can’t tell you how delighted I was when you became my dissertation director. I already knew that this is one of the areas where idsva wants to make a difference; unlike other graduate schools, idsva takes advice not as a verb but as an action. Yet you exceeded my expectations. Simonetta, you were always one hundred percent there for me. You carefully read every draft, no matter how incoherent and rudimentary. You always responded with meaningful comments. You opened my eyes for new territories, and you sharpened my pen. You gave me the freedom to change direction a hundred times. It has been an amazing process and frankly, there were times I feared you would give up on me. Instead you kept gracefully guiding me through the process, gently pushing me until it was done. I know I asked a lot from you to help me complete the work during your busy summer while you were abroad overseeing residencies. But you did it faithfully. It shows that you are willing to go the extra mile, and I’m deeply grateful for that. Simonetta, you are my ideal adviser. You possess unique qualities beyond your sharp intellect and wit. I feel very fortunate for having had the chance to work with you. Dr. George Smith, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here in the first place. You accepted me in this program, and for that I’m deeply grateful. It was a leap of faith from both sides; you had to trust a foreign student, an art historian no less! I had to believe that this fairly new program was worth doing. Now, looking back I can say that idsva has become a life-changer. Something happened to me during the past five years that I could not have imagined, intellectually, mentally, spiritually. I learned that art is much more than something on a museum wall, to be looked at, enjoyed or decoded with pathological precision. Art, or aesthetics for that matter, is about experience, human consciousness, and the ethical call of taking responsibility for being in this world. George, I suspect I’m not the only idsva student who fell for Bakhtin during the second year. I wonder now if it has something to do with you. Bakhtin represents core values that we recognize in you, and in this school generally, which is a dedication to personal development. You turned that promise into a form of art. The school is extremely fortunate to have you; you are infinitely more than a teacher, mentor and adviser. You are a true inspiration for us all. Thank you for making me trust the process! v Amy Curtis, I’m sure we mortal souls have no idea what it takes to run a school like idsva. I cannot even begin to imagine your talents and accomplishments. What we do see however, is that you are always there with personal attention and practical advice, even while you have a zillion other things to do. You were instrumental in the school’s accreditation process which made it possible to apply for student loans, among other things. There are many other feathers on your bonnet but I want to express my special gratitude for your flexibility with the submission process. That was extremely helpful. Dr. Amy Cook, you had the ungrateful job of checking in with me regularly to see how many pages I had produced. You kept the finger on the pulse - or was it a trigger? I couldn’t tell from Skype. Anyway, it made an impression. I remember the comparison you made between dissertation writing and jogging. There will be times you don’t want to do it, you said. But it is like putting on your running shoes. You may resist the run but putting on your shoes already makes you feel better. Being a slow but stubborn jogger myself, that was something I understood. Amy, unfortunately your advice has not improved my jogging skills but your words have echoed many times on my morning run. It reminded me that sometimes we just have to do the work. And yes, often times it pays off. Idsva alumni Dr. Michael Smith and Dr. Nil Santana, I remember our phone conversations after I had just enrolled in the program. You were asked to contact me and respond to questions that I might have about Kant and Hegel. I’m sure I didn’t dazzle you with my brilliance (honestly I had no idea what I was talking about), but you made it sound fascinating. I thank you both for your help. Dr. Margot Kelley, respected member of idsva’s Board of Trustees. Back in the days, you led a dissertation residency at Brown University. I didn’t come very prepared I’m afraid. It was my second residency that summer and it was hard to stay focused. Yet you patiently worked with me, helping me to formulate the questions and laying the groundwork for my thesis. Later you wrote a beautiful letter of recommendation to help me apply for a fellowship position. I didn’t get it, but I may frame the letter, in retrospect. Thank you for your inspiration. Writing a dissertation can be a lonely process at times, and you tend to forget that there are people out there willing to help. I kick myself for not being more aggressive about that. While I was wrapping up the last chapter, I connected with Bakhtin scholar Dr. Eugene Matusov, Professor at the School of Education of the University of Delaware, Newark, DE. We had some wonderful exchanges about dialogic pedagogy. Dr. Matusov, I’m looking forward to continuing the conversation and learning more from your insights. Dr. Deborah Meijers, vi emeritus professor in Art History at the University of Amsterdam, you laid the foundation for my academic aspirations when you assisted me with a grant funded research project on early collectors houses in the Netherlands. I was thrilled to find how pieces of the puzzle fell into place when I was writing the chapter on house museums. Dr. Kathy Desmond, I thank you also for your valuable help and advice during the dissertation process; and for the conversations about Bakhtin. Being a “hybrid” student, I owe my gratitude to two different cohorts, most notably cohorts 2009 and 2010. My special gratitude goes to my own cohort “nine,” especially the hard core consisting of Kathryn, Brooke and Charlie. The first years particularly, we spent a lot of time on conference calls, chats back and forth, and emails. My crumbled notebook testifies to the heated conversations. Online learning is not always easy but these communications were a necessary component of our learning process. Of course, nothing can compare to the unique learning experience and camaraderie during the summer and winter residencies. I cherish the memories of our time in Tuscany, especially at Spannocchia Castle, the trips to Milan, Venice and Paris, the winter residencies in New York. I’ve given up explaining to people that we went there to work, although granted, there was always time for fun. Katherine, you are not just a peer, you have become such a dear friend. We went through the sublime and the ridiculous together, and it was always good. Thanks for putting up with me. Brooke and Charlie, I will never forget the special bond between us during the week of the oral exam at Brown. It was crazy but we did it together, what a victorious feeling that was! I wish to say a word of thank also to the current and past members of the board of directors at the Rocky Flats Institute and Museum.

  • A New Decade for Social Changes
    Vol. 21, 2021 A new decade for social changes ISSN 2668-7798 www.techniumscience.com 9 772668 779000 Technium Social Sciences Journal Vol. 21, 846-852, July, 2021 ISSN: 2668-7798 www.techniumscience.com The concept of transcendence in philosophy and theology Petrov George Daniel Theology Faculty, Ovidius University – Constanța, România [email protected] Abstract. The transcendence of God is the most sensitive and profound subject that could be addressed by the most enlightened minds of the world. In sketching this concept, the world of philosophy and that of theology are trying the impossible: to define the Absolute. Each approach is different, the first being subjected to reason, reaching specific conclusions, and the second, by understanding God's Personal character, appealing to the experience of living your life in God. The debate between the two worlds, that of philosophy and that of theology can only bring a plus to knowledge, while impressing any wisdom lover. Keywords. God, transcendence, immanence, Plato, Cioran, Heidegger, Hegel, Stăniloae I. Introduction The concept of transcendence expresses its importance through its ability to attract the intellect into deep research, out of a desire to express the inexpressible. The God of Theology was often named and defined by the world of philosophy in finite words, that could not encompass the greatness of the inexpressible. They could, however, rationally describe the Divinity, based on the similarities between the divine attributes and those of the world. Thus, in the world of great thinkers, God bears different names such as The Prime Engine, out of a desire to highlight the moment zero of time, Absolute Identity and even Substance, to express the immateriality of the Cause of all causes.

  • Emil Cioran – a Deconstructive Philosophy
    EMIL CIORAN – A DECONSTRUCTIVE PHILOSOPHY Angela Botez∗∗∗ [email protected] Abstract: For Cioran, expressing (something, someone) is the same with a postponed ripost or an aggression left for lateron and his writing is a solution, not to act, to avoid a crisis. His indignation is not as much a moral outset, as it is a literary one, the resort of inspiration, while wisdom wearies us of any momentum. The writer is a lunatic who uses in curative purposes these fictions we call words. For the Romanian philosopher the most uncomfortable relation is precisely with philosophy explaining that meeting the idea face to face incites us to talk nonsense, and clouds our judgement and produces the illusion of almightiness... All our deregulations and aberrations are triggered by the fight we lead with the irrealities, with the abstractions, with our will to conquer what does not exist, and from hereon also the impure, tiranical and delirious aspect of the philosophical works... Keywords: Emil Cioran, deconstructivism, antifoundationalism, philosophy of life, despair, and end of philosophy. Among the Romanian philosophers, the most explicit postmodern position of a deconstructive nihilistic type was Emil Cioran. In his work Exercises d’admiration: essais et portraits,1 published in the Romanian version by the Humanitas Publishing House in 1993, there is an article entitled Relecturing, resulted, according to the confession of the author, from the intention to present to the German readers his Précis de décomposition translated from French to German by Paul Celan, in 1953, and edited in 1978. The text gives a glimpse of the type of philosophy promoted by Emil Cioran, inscribed, obviously, among the postmodernist, antifoundationalist, nihilist, and deconstructivist tendencies.

  • Deutsch-Griechische Beziehungen
    Dossier Deutsch-griechische Beziehungen bpb.de Dossier: Deutsch-griechische Beziehungen (Erstellt am 19.05.2021) 2 Einleitung Platon (© picture-alliance) Die Bilder vom Anderen haben die deutsch-griechischen Beziehungen in den vergangenen Jahren bestimmt. Und mitunter auch vergiftet, obwohl das Land früher verehrt wurde wegen seines kulturellen Vermächtnisses. So wurde die Euro-Krise zur Griechenland-Krise und "die Griechen" zu "faulen Südeuropäern, die ein arbeitsarmes Leben" führen. Umgekehrt stilisierten griechische Medien "die Deutschen" zu "ewigen Besatzern", die da anknüpfen, wo sie 1945 aufhörten. Die Beziehungen sind aber nicht nur beschränkt auf Fragen über Schulden und Schuld. Kunst, Kultur, Literatur, Migration und Tourismus verbinden beide Länder. Hunderttausende Menschen mit griechischen Wurzeln leben heute in Deutschland, viele Deutsche wollten und wollen noch heute als Touristen in Griechenland eine ideale Gegenwelt erfahren. Welche Geschichte verbindet Griechen und Deutsche? Welche Spannungen und Probleme lasten auf den aktuellen Beziehungen?

    GENERAL ELECTIONS IN GREECE 6th May 2012 European Elections monitor Great Uncertainty just one Month before the next Greek General Elections Corinne Deloy (with Stellina Galitopoulou) On 31st October last Prime Minister George Papandreou (Panhellenic Socialist Movement, PASOK) announced the organisation of a referendum on the rescue plan for Greece approved by the Euro- Analysis pean Union on 27th October in Brussels. The latter aimed to help Greece pay off its debts but obliged 1 month before the country to submit to economic supervision and to implement a stricter austerity regime. The the poll announcement was the source of stupor and indignation in Greece and across all of Europe – it sent the European, American and Asian stock exchanges into disarray and surprised the financial markets. “It’s suicide”, declared Michalis Matsourakis, chief economist at the Greek Alpha Bank, who perceived an attempt on the part of George Papandreou to break out of his solitude and the political crisis that was undermining the country as he pushed the opposition parties, which until now had categorically refused to support the strict austerity measures taken by the government, to adopt a position on the European plan, in order to calm the social protest movement that went together with a sharp decline in living standards. The Prime Minister, who was finding it increasingly difficult to find support within his own socialist party and the ministers of his government, had already suggested to the opposition that they create an alliance in the shape of a government coalition in June 2011. The right however, rejected this proposal.

Trujillo, Jr. University of Louisville Abstract: Emil Cioran offers novel arguments against suicide. He assumes a meaningless world. But in such a world, he argues, suicide and death would be equally as meaningless as life or anything else. Suicide and death are as cumbersome and useless as meaning and life. Yet Cioran also argues that we should contemplate suicide to live better lives. By contemplating suicide, we confront the deep suffering inherent in existence. This humbles us enough to allow us to change even the deepest aspects of ourselves.

  • After Images of the Present. Utopian Imagination In
    Revista de Estudios Globales y Arte Contemporáneo | Vol. 4 | Núm. 1 | 2016 | 340-362 Nadja Gnamuš University of Primorska Koper, Slovenia AFTER IMAGES OF THE PRESENT. UTOPIAN IMAGINATION IN CONTEMPORARY ART PRACTICES Whatever we do, it could be different. The painting of a picture is never finished; the writing of a book is never completed. The conclusion of what we have just printed out could still be changed. And if it came to that, then the effort would start from the beginning.1 The introductory quote is taken from Ernst Bloch's short essay on the humanist and political writings of Berthold Brecht. "Brecht wants to change the audience itself through his products, so the changed audience […] also 1 Bloch, E. (1938). A Leninist of the Stage. Heritage of Our Times (1991). Cambridge: Polity Press, p. 229. Revista de Estudios Globales y Arte Contemporáneo ISSN: 2013-8652 online http://revistes.ub.edu/index.php/REGAC/index Schulz-Ohm, M. | Living a Utopia. The Artist’s House as a Total Work of Art has retroactive effect on the products".2 This would be the ideal effect of an artwork engaging in real social life and actively transforming it. The desire to change the world into a better, freer, and balanced place is not just the driving force of critical and socially engaged actions but also an immanent feature of utopian thought. However, this ideal and accomplished social whole (as imagined by the historical avant-gardes) is evasive and not yet to be attained. It is non-existent or ou-topic on the map of reality.
