EDITORIAL The contemporary era is marked by globalization of new order, communication and technology, high speed internet surfing, transnational life and hybrid culture. Fixity of geographical boundaries, constancy of culture and essentialist notion of identity have turned out to be a myth. Stuart Hall remarks everything is fluid, constantly changing. Singular perception has eroded and multidimensional perception has altered the understanding of life and cosmos. Such renewed thinking is represented in today’s literary writings. Especially, the postcolonial writers, in an effort to revive the indigeneity, altered the worldview besides innovating theories and canons for writing. Obviously, those writings are to be studied, analyzed, interpreted and researched not only to gain better understanding of the themes explored and narrative techniques employed but also to make individuals instruments of social change and happiness. This special issue carries articles focusing on postcolonial themes. The contributors have tried to throw light on the literatures of postcolonial time and after from different perspectives. Wish you happy reading! Editor and Publisher Dr. R. B.

Communication Papers/Enquires should be mailed to [email protected] Special Issue Editorial This special issue of Literary Endeavour has been developed out of “Beyond the Postcolonial: Reimaging Humanism” a One Day UGC Sponsored National Level Seminar held at Arul Anandar College, Karumathur – 625 514, Madurai District, Tamil Nadu on February 28, 2018. The postcolonial literary writings of the recent times are not confined to the narrow framework of postcolonial resistance. They do not merely record the pain and suffering of the past anymore; instead the writers move beyond to analyze the contemporary events. They have shifted their concerns to building human relationships between individuals and global community. This has inspired me to organize the seminar of this kind. I register my deep sense of gratitude to the Resource Persons, Dr. T. Marx, Associate Professor of English, Pondicherry University, Pudhucherry, Dr. S. Armstrong, Head and Professor of English, Madras University, Chennai, Dr. S.Kanitha, Former Head and Associate Professor of English, APA College, Palani, Dr. S. Seshuraja, Head and Associate Professor of Philosophy, Arul Anandar College, Karumathur. I wholeheartedly thank Rev. Dr. K. Amal, SJ. Rector, Rev. Dr. S. Mani Valan, SJ., Secretary and Rev. Dr. S. Basil Xavier, SJ., Principal for their constant encouragement in all the efforts of the department. I sincerely thank all the participants and the members of the audience who contributed to the theme of the seminar through paper presentations, interrogations, and clarifications on the day of the seminar. I am particularly grateful to the University Grants Commission and the Jesuit Management of the college for financial resources and to the Faculty of English for programmatic and logistical services. I thank Dr. P. Veerasamy for technical assistance in compiling and editing the articles. Co-Editor (Special Issue) Dr. S.

  • Pioneering Cultural Initiatives by Esalen Centers for Theory
    Esalen’s Half-Century of Pioneering Cultural Initiatives 1962 to 2012 For more information, please contact: Jane Hartford, Director of Development Center for Theory & Research and Special Projects Special Assistant to the Cofounder and Chairman Emeritus Michael Murphy Esalen Institute 1001 Bridgeway #247 Sausalito, CA 94965 415-459-5438 i Preface Most of us know Esalen mainly through public workshops advertised in the catalog. But there is another, usually quieter, Esalen that’s by invitation only: the hundreds of private initiatives sponsored now by Esalen’s Center for Theory and Research (CTR). Though not well publicized, this other Esalen has had a major impact on America and the world at large. From its programs in citizen diplomacy to its pioneering role in holistic health; from physics and philosophy to psychology, education and religion, Esalen has exercised a significant influence on our culture and society. CTR sponsors work in fields that think tanks and universities typically ignore, either because those fields are too controversial, too new, or because they fall between disciplinary silos. These initiatives have included diplomats and political leaders, such as Joseph Montville, the influential pioneer of citizen diplomacy, Jack Matlock and Arthur Hartman, former Ambassadors to the Soviet Union, and Claiborne Pell, former Chairman of the U.S. Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee; eminent Russian cultural leaders Vladimir Pozner, Sergei Kapitsa, and Victor Erofeyev; astronaut Rusty Schweickart; philosophers Jay Ogilvy, Sam

  • Turning Point: a Science of Living Systems by Fritjof Capra, Ph.D
    Turning Point: A Science of Living Systems by Fritjof Capra, Ph.D. In the first three decades of the 20th century, atomic and subatomic physics led to a dramatic revision of many basic concepts and ideas about reality, which brought about a profound change in our worldview; from the mechanistic world view of Descartes and Newton to a holistic and ecological view; a view that turns out to be very similar to the views and mystics of all ages and traditions. The new view of reality was by no means easy to accept for physicists at the beginning of the century. Exploration of the atomic and subatomic world brought them in contact with a strange and unexpected reality. In their struggle to grasp this new reality, scientists became painfully aware that their basic concepts, their language, and their whole way of thinking were inadequate to describe atomic phenomena. Their problems were not merely intellectual, but amounted to an intense emotional and, one could say, even existential crisis, but in the end they were rewarded with deep insights into the nature of matter and its relation to the human mind. I have come to believe that today our society as a whole finds itself in a similar crisis. We can read about its numerous manifestations every day in the news. We have high inflation and unemployment, we have an energy crisis, we have a crisis in health care, pollution and other environmental disasters, a rising wave of violence, etc.. I believe these are all different facets of one and the same crisis – a crisis of perception.

  • THE NOMADIC WANDERINGS of a BAG-LADY and HER SPACE CHUMS: RE-STORYING ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION with FERAL FIGURATIONS by Chessa
    THE NOMADIC WANDERINGS OF A BAG-LADY AND HER SPACE CHUMS: RE-STORYING ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION WITH FERAL FIGURATIONS by Chessa Adsit-Morris B.A., Interdisciplinary Art, University of Washington Seattle, WA, 2006. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Curriculum Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 © Chessa Adsit-Morris, 2015 Abstract This thesis is a semi-autobiographical narrative, a serious fiction, in which I hold together the contradictions I have inherited and gathered (specifically in relation to the Western educational system) and learn to encounter the “Other” (real and imaginary others), including the other that is my constantly shifting/growing “self,” and attempt to find/foster nourishing alliances for transforming Environmental Education. I situated myself with new materialist theorists, specifically Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, and Karen Barad, who attempt to think “through the co-constitutive materiality of human corporeality and nonhuman natures” (Alaimo & Hekman, 2008, p. 9) and provide useful tools (figurations, metaphors, and/or stories) for finding creative theoretical alternatives to the reductionist, representationalist and dualistic practices of the Western (Euro-American) metaphysics. Instead, shifting towards ecological, rhizomatic thinking and a nomadic subjectivity, I take up bag-lady storytelling, a performative new materialist methodology, a creative (re)twist of Ursula

    Session 1 | Séance 1 : Theuaac-aauc Artery 2018 Conference of the Universities Art Association of Canada Congrès 2018 de l’Association d’art des universités du Canada October 25–28 octobre, 2018 University of Waterloo uaac-aauc.com Congrès UAAC-AAUC Conference October 25-28 octobre 2018 University of Waterloo 1 Welcome As someone who started attending UAAC conferences three decades ago, I can say that no two are alike: continuities exist, but there’s always something new. This year, for example, along with the customary launch of the Fall RACAR–a “Critical Curating” special issue edited by Marie Fraser and Alice Ming Wai Jim–and the perennial opportunity to renew old relationships and start fresh ones, we’ll kick off UAAC’s new website. Also, rather than a keynote lecture, we’ll have keynote performances by Louise Liliefeldt and Lori Blondeau, an exciting outgrowth of performance’s rising importance as a mode of presentation at our conference. Thanks to the conference organizers, Joan Coutu and Bojana Videkanic, for their insight in suggesting this shift, and for the rest of their hard work on this conference. The programming committee– Joan Coutu, Bojana Videkanic and Annie Gérin– also must be recognized for its great work reviewing session proposals. And, as always, huge applause for Fran Pauzé, UAAC’s administrator, who has kept us on track day in and day out for years now. As you know, our conference’s dynamism flows from the continued broadening and revitalization of UAAC’s constituency. However, the difficult state of culture and education today makes participation by students and precariously-employed faculty harder and harder.

  • Les Défis D'un Monde Globalisé Complexics As a Meta
    CONGRÈS MONDIAL POUR LA PENSÉE COMPLEXE Les défis d’un monde globalisé Paris, 8-9 décembre, 2016 Complexics as a Meta-Transdisciplinary Field Albert Bastardas-Boada * Knowledge of knowledge (epistemology of complexity) Abstract ‘Complexics’ as a meta-transdisciplinary field would bring together all contemporary efforts devoted to constructing tools, procedures, models and concepts intended for understanding and explaining the most interwoven and dynamic phenomena of reality. Our aim needs to be, as Morin says, not “to reduce complexity to simplicity, [but] to translate complexity into theory”. New mathematical and computational contributions have already continued to grow in number, thanks primarily to scholars in statistical physics and computer science. However, human complexics must be seen as multi- methodological, combining quantitative-computation methodologies and more qualitative methodologies aimed at understanding the mental and emotional world of people. Key words meta-transdisciplinarity; modelisation; qualitative methodologies. * Full Professor, Universitat de Barcelona.

  • The Politics of Global Complexity: Rethinking Governance, Power and Agency (2018-2019)
    Politics of Global Complexity 2018-2019 The Politics of Global Complexity: Rethinking Governance, Power and Agency (2018-2019) MA Module Code: 7PIRS025W (Level: 7, Credits: 20) Lecture and Seminar: Thursday 10.00am-1.00pm Wells Street 206 (semester 1) Module Leader: Professor David Chandler (Room: Wells Street 504, email: [email protected]) Module Summary Today the biggest challenge facing policy-makers appears to be the growing awareness of complexity. In a complex world, it is seemingly much more difficult to govern, and to act instrumentally, in order to fulfil policy goals. The module introduces students to the theoretical frameworks and practices of the politics of complexity, the debates that have been triggered, and the way that complexity understandings have developed, especially in the 2000s and 2010s. Emphasis is placed upon introducing students to some of the conceptual frameworks deployed in understanding system effects on political, economic and social life and how these enable us to rethink governance, power and agency. However, this module is also very practically orientated, it engages with how complexity is reflected in new approaches to policy-making and understanding, particularly focusing on how problems are responded to and the distinctions between preventive policy-understandings, resilience/bouncing back approaches and more transformative understandings of how to engage with a complex world. 1 Politics of Global Complexity 2018-2019 Module Aims 1. To introduce students to the theoretical frameworks and practices of the politics of complexity, the debates they have triggered, and the way that complexity approaches have developed, particularly over the last decade. 2. To consider the changing framework of discussions of governance in relation to questions of who governs, how governance is legitimated, the processes of governance and the obJects of governance.

    Deep Ecology Nature is the first ethical teacher of man. -- Peter Kropotkin 1 / 26 Deep Ecology Unless ye believe ye shall not understand. -- St Augustine I was born a thousand years ago, born in the culture of bows and arrows ... born in an age when people loved the things of nature and spoke to it as though it had a soul. -- Chief Dan George The woods were formerly temples of the deities, and even now simple country folk dedicate a tall tree to a God with the ritual of olden times; and we adore sacred groves and the very silence that reigns in them no less devoutly than images that gleam in gold and ivory. -- Pliny In the stillness of the mighty woods, man is made aware of the divine. -- Richard St Barbe Baker There is no better way to please the Buddha than to please all sentient beings. -- Ladakhi saying Ecology and spirituality are fundamentally connected, because deep ecological awareness, ultimately, is spiritual awareness. -- Fritjof Capra Every social transformation ... has rested on a new metaphysical and ideological base; or rather, upon deeper stirrings and intuitions whose rationalised expression takes the form of a new picture of the cosmos and the nature of man. -- Lewis Mumford ... there is reason to hope that the ecology-based revitalist movements of the future will seek to achieve their ends in the true Gandhian tradition. It could be that Deep Ecology, with its ethical and metaphysical preoccupations, might well develop into such a movement. -- Edward Goldsmith 2 / 26 Deep Ecology The main hope for changing humanity's present course may lie ..
