    Cover: Julian Martin, Untitled (Abstracted Animal on Blue), 2010 (detail) Pastel on paper, 15 x 11 1/4 inches OUTSIDERISM By Alex Baker Fleisher/Ollman, Philadelphia OUTSIDERISM explores the various manifestations of so-called outsider art in a contemporary context, examining the frameworks we use as both viewers and artists in making sense of the impulses responsible for a wide range of creativity. Outsider, self-taught, disabled, visionary, obsessive, art as therapy, vernacular: these are some of the categories we utilize, fraught as they might be, to sort out a vast array of work which stands in relief to the offerings made by artists who are more easily assimilated within mainstream contemporary art. Thus, Outsiderism is both the title of this exhibition, and a more general term that I am proposing to describe the current zeal in which the contemporary art field has made outsider art the focus of investigation. Outsiderism features work by artists with developmental disabilities and behavioral health issues from studio programs in Melbourne, Australia (Arts Project Australia) and Wilmington, Delaware (The Creative Vision Factory); Harrell Fletcher and Chris Johanson’s video collaboration with David Jarvey, an artist with Down’s Syndrome; drawings of protest and political allegories by Michael Patterson-Carver, an itinerant artist and activist; paintings and prints by Paul Laffoley exploring complex theories through diagrams, display charts and geometrically structured compositions in which text and image are woven together; and drawings by Gregory Blackstock that catalogue and classify objects and ideas important to the artist from foreign alphabets and speed boats to flags and fireworks.

  • On Various Faces of Postmodernist Philosophical Thinking
    DIALOGUE AND HUMANISM No. 4/1993 Stefan Morawski ON VARIOUS FACES OF POSTMODERNIST PHILOSOPHICAL THINKING 1. HOW TO DEAL WITH THE CONCEPT «POSTMODERNISM»? In the present text I wish to share my remarks primarily concerning postmodemism in its philosophical variation, yet it is unthinkable to cut oneself off from its two other — sociocultural and artistic — mutations. It is especially the sociocultural mutation that seems to me a cornerstone for the proper understanding of what the philosophical postmodernism is about. My first reflection concerns the legitimacy of the term and of the concept which —I surmise — refers one to the postmodemism as captioned by the sociologists of culture who describe the particular configuration of things and of qualities appropriate to them, that has crystallized itself in the social processes since the end of the 1970's. This reflection is, among others, imposed by these philosophers who are considered (and who consider themselves) as champions of postmodern- ism, for example J. F. Lyotard, U. Eco, W. Welsch; they hold that the concept of "postmodernism" is not to be literally understood: this is no successive phase in the aftermath of desiccation of modernist ways of thinking and behavior but merely a new manner of comprehending the world within the still living organism. Can the problem of the meaning of the "post-" prefix be solved — and then, how? Will it suffice to juxtapose the philosophical thought of modernists (which modernists, though? who is to be considered its typical representatives?), or is it necessary to admit the extra-philosophical frame of reference? Another reflection concerns the ancestry of this phenomenon, and its symptoms in philosophical considerations (Nota bene, it concerns both those authors who analyze postmodernism from a critical distance, as well as others who identify themselves with postmodernism).

  • Transmodern Reconfigurations of Territoriality
    societies Article Transmodern Reconfigurations of Territoriality, Defense, and Cultural Awareness in Ken MacLeod’s Cosmonaut Keep Jessica Aliaga-Lavrijsen Centro Universitario de la Defensa Zaragoza, Zaragoza 50090, Spain; [email protected] Received: 5 September 2018; Accepted: 17 October 2018; Published: 19 October 2018 Abstract: This paper focuses on the science fiction (SF) novel Cosmonaut Keep (2000)—first in the trilogy Engines of Light, which also includes Dark Light (2001) and Engines of Light (2002)—by the Scottish writer Ken MacLeod, and analyzes from a transmodern perspective some future warfare aspects related to forthcoming technological development, possible reconfigurations of territoriality in an expanding cluster of civilizations travelling and trading across distant solar systems, expanded cultural awareness, and space ecoconsciousness. It is my argument that MacLeod’s novel brings Transmodernism, which is characterized by a “planetary vision” in which human beings sense that we are interdependent, vulnerable, and responsible, into the future. Hereby, MacLeod’s work expands the original conceptualization of the term “Transmodernism” as defined by Rodríguez Magda, and explores possible future outcomes, showing a unique awareness of the fact that technological processes are always linked to political and power-related uses. Keywords: cultural awareness; future warfare; globalization; Fifth-Generation War; intergalactic territoriality; planetary civilizations; SF; space ecoconsciousness; speculative fiction; technological development; transmodernism “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” —Proverbs 29:18 “If these are the early days of a better nation there must be hope, and a hope of peace is as good as any, and far better than a hollow hoarding greed or the dry lies of an aweless god.” —Graydon Saunders 1.

  • “The Double Bind” of 1989: Reinterpreting Space, Place, and Identity in Postcommunist Women’S Literature
    “THE DOUBLE BIND” OF 1989: REINTERPRETING SPACE, PLACE, AND IDENTITY IN POSTCOMMUNIST WOMEN’S LITERATURE BY JESSICA LYNN WIENHOLD-BROKISH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctorial Committee: Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky, Chair; Director of Research Professor Nancy Blake Professor Harriet Murav Associate Professor Anke Pinkert Abstract This dissertation is a comparative, cross-cultural exploration of identity construction after 1989 as it pertains to narrative setting and the creation of literary place in postcommunist women’s literature. Through spatial analysis the negotiation between the unresolvable bind of a stable national and personal identity and of a flexible transnational identity are discussed. Russian, German, and Croatian writers, specifically Olga Mukhina, Nina Sadur, Monika Maron, Barbara Honigmann, Angela Krauß, Vedrana Rudan, Dubravka Ugrešić, and Slavenka Drakulić, provide the material for an examination of the proliferation of female writers and the potential for recuperative literary techniques after 1989. The project is organized thematically with chapters dedicated to apartments, cities, and foreign lands, focusing on strategies of identity reconstruction after the fall of socialism. ii To My Family, especially Mom, Dad, Jeffrey, and Finnegan iii Table of Contents Chapter One: Introduction: “We are, from this perspective,

  • Interpreting Enrique Dussel's Transmodernity
    Epistemological and Aesthetic Dimensions of Transmodernism: Linda Martín Alcoff’s and Alejandro Vallega’s Readings of Enrique Dussel by Omar Rivera Epistemological and Aesthetic Dimensions of Transmodernism: Linda Martín Alcoff’s and Alejandro Vallega’s Readings of Enrique Dussel [1] by Omar Rivera English Abstract This essay engages Linda Martín Alcoff’s and Alejandro Vallega’s interpretations of Enrique Dussel. It focuses on Martín Alcoff’s political epistemology and Alejandro Vallega’s aesthetics of liberation as furthering aspects of Dussel’s transmodern project. Specifically, these two approaches allow us to understand the epistemological and aesthetic ways in which cultures denied by European modernity are now in the process of constituting a transmodern cultural horizon. The essay ends by calling for a “transmodern aesthetic turn.” Resumen en español Este ensayo estudia cómo Linda Martín Alcoff y Alejandro Vallega interpretan a Enrique Dussel. Nos vamos a enfocar en la epistemología política de Martín Alcoff y en la estética de liberación de Vallega, y mostrar cómo ellos desarrollan aspectos de la transmodernidad de Dussel. Específicamente, estos planteamientos nos ayudarán a entender maneras epistemológicas y estéticas por las cuales culturas negadas por la modernidad Europea están ahora en un proceso de constituir un horizonte cultural transmoderno. El ensayo termina proponiendo un “giro estético transmoderno.” Resumo em português Este ensaio envolve as interpretações de Linda Martín Alcoff e Alejandro Vallega sobre Enrique Dussel. Concentra-se na epistemologia política de Martín Alcoff e na estética da libertação de Alejandro Vallega como aspectos avançados do projeto transmoderno do Dussel. Estas duas abordagens, especificamente, nos permitem compreender as formas epistemológicas e estéticas nas quais as culturas negadas pela modernidade européia estão atualmente no processo de constituir um horizonte cultural transmoderno.

  • Burning Man, Transformation, and Heterotopia
    THE POLITICS OF CARNIVAL Ephemeropolis: Burning Man, Transformation, and Heterotopia Graham St John University of Fribourg, Switzerland KEYWORDS ABSTRACT Burning Man Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia is adapted to comprehend events with intentional heterotopia transformational agendas. An ephemeral community installed annually in Nevada’s Black festival Rock Desert, Burning Man is an exemplary evental heterotopia. With the shortcomings of the romantic-utopian “transformational festival” label identified, the article considers Black Rock Black Rock City City as a heterogeneous threshold and contested space. This hyperliminal weave is redolent liminality in a complex ethos known as the “Ten Principles.” Informed by Foucault’s ambiguous entry on heteroclite spatialization, the article explores the paradoxical “other space” of Burning Man in which the “default world” is simultaneously neutralized, mirrored, and resisted. If Burning Man is transformative, this is therefore an enigmatic aesthetic. Adapting Foucault’s six “principles of heterotopia” and modulating Victor Turner’s “liminality,” the article navigates the hyperliminal dynamics of Burning Man. In the process, a provisional framework is suggested for the study of transformative events.
