The Theme Of "Relevance" In Third World Human Sciences, Syed Farid Alatas
The Theme Of "Relevance" In Third World Human Sciences, Syed Farid Alatas
farid alatas
The fact that the humanities and social sciences in developing societies generally originated in the West has raised the issue of the relevance of these arts and sciences to the needs and problems of Third World societies. This questioning of relevance has led, in turn, to the call for the indigenisation of knowledge in developing societies. While there has been a great deal of discussion on indigenisation, there has been little practice of indigenised humanities and social science. As a result, there are few examples of what indigenous knowledge constitutes from theoretical, methodological and empirical points of view. This paper …

Economics Of Time And Ignorance: 1996 Intro Survey, Mario Rizzo
Mario Rizzo
This is a review of the developments in Austrian-subjectivist economics during the period 1985-1996 from the perspective of the themes developed in the first-edition of "The Economics of Time and Ignorance." It is also a concise statement of a modern understanding of the classic ideas of Austrian economics with a view to seeing their connection to a broader set of perspectives in economics. (The version available here is the final draft of the text available in the book published by Routledge. This is available from Routledge as an e-book or from various Amazon.com sellers.)
The Struggle For Knowledge: The Case Of Emergent Oromo Studies, Asafa Jalata
The Struggle For Knowledge: The Case Of Emergent Oromo Studies, Asafa Jalata
Asafa Jalata
Taking the Oromo as historical actors, the emergent Oromo studies identify some deficiencies of "Ethiopian studies" that primarily focus on the Amhara and Tigray ethnic groups and their rulers, and ignore the history of the Oromo people. Many Ethiopian and Ethiopianist scholars do not recognize the positive cultural achievements of this people.' With their colonization and incorporation into Ethiopia, the Oromo could not develop independent institutions that would allow them to produce and disseminate their historical knowledge freely. Currently, they are fighting for national self-determination: to regain their political freedom and rebuild independent institutions.

In Defence Of The British Constitution: Theoretical Implications Of The Debate Over Athenian Democracy In Britain, 1770-1850, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
In Defence Of The British Constitution: Theoretical Implications Of The Debate Over Athenian Democracy In Britain, 1770-1850, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Writing a history of ancient Greece, in periods of political turbulence and transition, involved the construction of an edifying platform for civil conduct. Britain, 1770-1850, was one such period. In examining Athenian democracy the British historians of the late eighteenth century, like William Mitford and John Gillies, found a convenient channel to articulate their private political preferences and antipathies, thereby accentuating the ideological antagonism of the post-revolutionary age. Athenian liberalism was deliberately drawn from oblivion only to be set as a constitutional example to avoid, whereas the merits of the mixed British constitution were distinctly exposed. The British Utilitarians, by …
The Development Of Platonic Studies In Britain And The Role Of The Utilitarians, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
The Development Of Platonic Studies In Britain And The Role Of The Utilitarians, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
The British utilitarians are not generally considered explorers of classical Greek thought. This paper examines the contribution of James Mill, John Stuart Mill, and George Grote to the development of Platonic studies in nineteenth-century Britain. Their understanding of Platonic philosophy challenged prevalent interpretations, and caused a fruitful debate over long neglected aspects of Plato's thought. Grote's Platonic analysis, which comes last in order of time, cannot, of course, be considered in isolation from the relevant debates in Germany. Grote, the erudite historian of ancient Greece, paid considerable attention to the arguments of the German classicists, put forward in many cases …

Hans Bellmer In The Art Institute Of Chicago: The Wandering Libido And The Hysterical Body, Sue Taylor
Hans Bellmer In The Art Institute Of Chicago: The Wandering Libido And The Hysterical Body, Sue Taylor
Sue Taylor
Part of a special issue on the Mary Reynolds Collection and related works in the Art Institute of Chicago. The writer discusses the work of German artist Hans Bellmer. Bellmer's whole oeuvre is in a sense symbolized by a lithograph depicting a doll with an inquisitive disembodied eye peering through her navel and a dark male hand prodding her breast, an image of male sexual domination and curiosity. Bellmer's concerns dovetailed with those of the Surrealists: the Surrealist fascination with automata and the Surrealist idealization of the innocent femme-enfant, the latter coinciding with Bellmer's fascination with little girls as a …

Passage, Randall Snyder
Passage, Randall Snyder
Randall Snyder
“Passage” , one of those words with several definitions, is used here as “the action or process of passing from one place or condition to another”. The genesis of this piece sprang from a remarkably vivid dream I experienced several years ago, a dream never forgotten, that suggested a powerful concept for a piece but remained on the back burner until planning this work for wind ensemble last summer. Since the structure and content of “Passage” represents a direct, “programmatic” transfer of this dream, I feel it important and useful to describe it, even though some may perceive it as …
