  • The Golem Allegories
    IRIE International Review of Information Ethics Vol. 26 (12/2017) Ivan Capeller: The Golem Allegories This is the first piece of a three-part article about the allegorical aspects of the legend of the Golem and its epistemological, political and ethical implications in our Internet plugged-in connected times. There are three sets of Golem allegories that may refer to questions relating either to language and knowledge, work and technique, or life and existence. The Golem allegories will be read through three major narratives that are also clearly or potentially allegorical: Walter Benjamin’s allegory of the chess player at the very beginning of his theses On the Concept of History, William Shakespeare’s last play The Tempest and James Cameron’s movie The Terminator. Each one of these narratives is going to be considered as a key allegory for a determinate aspect of the Golem, following a three-movement reading of the Golem legend that structures this very text as its logical outcome.

  • The Body in Question: the Income Tax and Human Body Materials
    ZELENAK_FORMATTED_PREPROOF_PERMA (DO NOT DELETE) 3/14/2017 2:18 PM THE BODY IN QUESTION: THE INCOME TAX AND HUMAN BODY MATERIALS ∗ LAWRENCE ZELENAK I INTRODUCTION The federal income tax treatment of transactions in human body materials— such as eggs, sperm, blood, milk, hair, and kidneys—is a mess. Nothing is firmly settled. Consider, for example, the recent first-impression case of Perez v. Commissioner,1 in which the Tax Court concluded that a paid “donor” of ova had received fully taxable compensation-for-services income (rejecting the taxpayer’s claim that the payments qualified under the statutory exclusion from gross income of “damages . on account of personal physical injuries”2). By contrast, academic commentators writing before Perez had thought it fairly obvious that a paid egg donor was the seller of an asset,3 thus giving rise to at least the possibility of taxation at the favorable rates applicable to long-term capital gain. Similar confusion reigns in the case of taxpayers who donate their blood to charity. There is support both for the proposition that a blood donor performs a service for the charity4 (and so is subject to the rule that contributions of services are not deductible5), and also for the proposition that a blood donation is a contribution of property (the value of which would be deductible but for the happenstance that blood cells do not live long enough to satisfy the holding period for long-term capital gain).6 Although the same no-deduction result is Copyright © 2017 by Lawrence Zelenak.

  • The Sought for Butoh Body: Tatsumi Hijikata's Cultural Rejection And
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DSpace at Waseda University Transcommunication Vol.3-1 Spring 2016 Graduate School of International Culture and Communication Studies Article The Sought For Butoh Body: Tatsumi Hijikata’s Cultural Rejection and Creation Julie Valentine Dind Abstract This paper studies the influence of both Japanese and Western cultures on Hijikata Tatsumi’s butoh dance in order to problematize the relevance of butoh outside of the cultural context in which it originated. While it is obvious that cultural fusion has been taking place in the most recent developments of butoh dance, this paper attempts to show that the seeds of this cultural fusion were already present in the early days of Hijikata’s work, and that butoh dance embodies his ambivalence toward the West. Moreover this paper furthers the idea of a universal language of butoh true to Hijikata’s search for a body from the “world which cannot be expressed in words”1 but only danced. The research revolves around three major subjects. First, the shaping power European underground literature and German expressionist dance had on Hijikata and how these influences remained present in all his work throughout his entire career. Secondly, it analyzes the transactions around the Japanese body and Japanese identity that take place in the work of Hijikata in order to see how Western culture might have acted as much as a resistance as an inspiration in the creation of butoh. Third, it examines the unique aspects of Hijikata’s dance, in an attempt to show that he was not only a product of his time but also aware of the shaping power of history and actively fighting against it in his quest for a body standing beyond cultural fusion or history.
