Filming Dance: Embodied Syntax In Sasha Waltz’S ‘S’, Helen A. Fielding
Filming Dance: Embodied Syntax In Sasha Waltz’S ‘S’, Helen A. Fielding
Helen A Fielding
This paper brings Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological approach to Sasha Waltz’s dance film S, which focuses on the relation between sexuality and language. Maintaining that movement in cinema takes place in the viewers and not the film, the paper considers how the visual can be deepened to include the ways we move and are moved. Saussure’s insights into language are brought to the sensible, which is here understood in terms of divergences from norms. Though film would seem to privilege vision, viewing this film helps to elucidate Merleau-Ponty’s claim that a film succeeds when it engages the viewer’s embodied understanding, and shifts …
Cultivating Perception: Phenomenological Encounters With Artworks, Helen A. Fielding
Cultivating Perception: Phenomenological Encounters With Artworks, Helen A. Fielding
Helen A Fielding
Phenomenally strong artworks have the potential to anchor us in the world and to cultivate our perception. For the most part, we barely notice the world around us, as we are too often elsewhere, texting, coordinating schedules, planning ahead, navigating what needs to be done. This is the level of our age that shapes the ways we encounter the world and others. In such a world it is no wonder we no longer trust our senses. But as feminists have long argued, grounding our thinking in embodied experience opens it up to difference and helps us to resist the colonization …

FOREWARD: GARDENS OF JUSTICE
Matilda Arvidsson, Merima Bruncevic, Leila Brannstrom, Leif Dahlberg
Our Gardens of Justice special themed issue of the Australian Feminist Law Journal grew out of the 2012 Critical Legal Conference in Stockholm and its theme of Gardens of Justice, a conference organised by Matilda Arvidsson, Merima Bruncevic, Leila Brannstrom and Leif Dahlberg. We issued a Call for Papers early in 2013 in which several conference theme questions were repeated. We called for papers devoted to thinking about law and justice as a physical as well as a social environment. The theme suggested a plurality of justice gardens …

What About The Children? Benjamin And Arendt: On Education, Work, And The Political, Jules Simon
Jules Simon
This article is a rough draft of an article that I contributed to an edited volume of articles dealing with progressive education theory. I reflect on articles that Hannah Arendt and Walter Benjamin wrote that deal with educational reform and innovation, both political in nature.

Ch 1 The Sea, The Land, The Community, The Individual, Maurizio Vito
Maurizio Vito
My dissertation analyzes the political unconscious of the metaphors of sea and land in works that range from Hesiod to Carl Schmitt, it is a study of how these metaphors, singly and in the interplay between them, are scattered through a wide variety of discourses. It examines the influence that cultural contexts exert on the allegorization of sea and land from ancient Greeks and Romans (Alcaeus, Virgil, Horace, first chapter) to the Italian Renaissance epic (Orlando Furioso and Gerusalemme Liberata, second chapter), and in the “Mediterranean question.” While the third chapter analyzes how nomos – a notion that concerns lawmaking …

The Ethical Phenomenon Of Gm-Corn: Anger, Anxiety, And Arrogance In Crossing American Borders, Jules Simon
The Ethical Phenomenon Of Gm-Corn: Anger, Anxiety, And Arrogance In Crossing American Borders, Jules Simon
Jules Simon
In terms of phenomenology, I often wonder about the relevance of what I do as a philosopher for the life of those with whom I come into contact. This ‘coming into contact’ happens for me on several levels: as one human among many, as a husband and father and son and brother, as a teacher, as a neighbor, and as country or city dweller. I remember with fondness those times in the late sultry summer months when, as a youth, I would drive with my father to this or that local farm-stand on some remote back road in the hills …

The Organismic State Against Itself: Schelling, Hegel And The Life Of Right, Joshua D. Lambier
The Organismic State Against Itself: Schelling, Hegel And The Life Of Right, Joshua D. Lambier
Joshua D Lambier
Focusing on the political thought of Schelling and Hegel – beginning with the early texts (1796–1802), then moving briefly to Hegel’s well known Philosophy of Right (1821) – this essay revisits the Romantic-Idealist theory of the organic state by returning to its genesis in the turbulent political, cultural and scientific debates of the post-Revolutionary period. Given the controversial nature of its historical (mis)appropriations, the organic idea of the state has become synonymous with totality and closure. This essay argues, however, that the contemporary rejection of organicism relies on narrow interpretations of Romantic and Idealist notions of organic life, interpretations that …

Always More Than One Art: Jean-Luc Nancy's The Muses, Ann Taylor
Always More Than One Art: Jean-Luc Nancy's The Muses, Ann Taylor
Ann Taylor
Jean-Luc Nancy begins The Muses with an essay entitled, “Why Are There Several Arts And Not Just One?” It is an ambitious essay, one which calls into question not only the specific aesthetic theories of Hegel and Heidegger, but essentially the entire Western aesthetic tradition. While Nancy provides some interesting discussions of the problem as he considers some of the more prominent aesthetic theories in Western philosophy, to what extent does it matter that we know (or do not know) whether art is singular or plural in essence, or what “art” is at all? What is the purpose of philosophizing …
