Zombie Capitalism And The Collective Conscience: Between Bataille And Agamben, Ronjon Paul Datta Jun 2020

Zombie Capitalism And The Collective Conscience: Between Bataille And Agamben, Ronjon Paul Datta

Interdisciplinary approaches to surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

Zombie capitalism concerns how socio-economic life and death are debated and evaluated, reflecting dynamics in the “collective conscience.” Discussions of zombie capitalism have extended the popular representation of zombies as the “undead/living-dead” to the domain of socio-economic life. Rooted in radical Durkheimian social theory, this paper offers preliminary reflections on the moral framing of “zombie capitalism” by engaging imaginatively with ideas found in Georges Bataille and Giorgio Agamben, two interdisciplinary thinkers that addressed profound issues of life, death, and values. As represented journalistically and in popular economics, “zombie capitalism” is a condition in which socio-economic entities that, from the capitalist …

Speculative Futures For Mindful Meat Consumption And Production, Alexandra Kenefick May 2020

Speculative Futures For Mindful Meat Consumption And Production, Alexandra Kenefick

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The stuff of food constantly shifts register between matter and meaning; animal and meat; calories and flavours, stretching and folding the time/spaces of here and now, ‘us’ and ‘them’, producing and consuming in complex and contested ways (Probyn, 1999 in Stassart and Whatmore, 2003, p.450). Meat consumption has entangled our human histories and lived experiences with those of other animals and humans unlike any other food. This co-evolution of experiences finds itself in deeply embedded sociocultural materials such as feasting and fasting rituals, religious dogma, gendered role divisions, ethics discourse, animal domestication, slaughter procedures, and government policies the world over …

It also analyzes the Trump Administration's zero-tolerance policy that led to family separation and the personal and political effects of the policy. Furthermore, the poster analyzes the executive order that attempted to end family separations. Finally, the poster examines the current state of border conditions and immigration …

Our research covers the following topics through the lens of the 1930’s: Great Depression, entertainment industry, music, fashion, immigration, the Russian Revolution, …

Staying Engaged In Terrorism: Narrative Accounts Of Sustaining Participation In Violent Extremism, Neil Ferguson, James W. Mcauley

Security Research Hub Reports

Research exploring radicalization pathways and how and why people become involved in terrorism has expanded since the 9/11 attacks. Likewise, over the last decade research exploring de-radicalization and desistence from terrorism has grown and expanded in an attempt to promote exit from extremist or terror groups. However, research studies on how individuals sustain engagement in terrorism and their involvement with extremist organizations, often in the face of great adversity, are absent from the body of research. To address this scarcity of research this study analyzed accounts of engagement in violent extremism produced by Northern Irish loyalist and republican paramilitaries in …
