A. David Lewis deposited Bringing Superheroes into the Fight against COVID-19 Misinformation in the group
Medical Humanities on Humanities Commons 4 years, 9 months agoOver the past year, artists, doctors, medical professionals, and international agencies such as the World Health Organisation have been using comics to communicate the risks of the SARS-CoV2 virus. The visual economy and a near-universal language of lines, balloons, and panels in comics makes them well suited to disseminate epidemic-related…[Read more]

José Angel GARCÍA LANDA deposited The Story Behind Any Story: Evolution, Historicity, and Narrative Mapping in the group
Narrative theory and Narratology on Humanities Commons 4 years, 10 months ago“The narratives of the world are numberless”; yet, all stories may be seen as chapters of a single story, the story of universal evolution as uncovered by contemporary science, with processes of human emergence and cultural development as a prominent backdrop to the understanding of any narrative process. Evolutionary approaches to literary and…[Read more]

I am struck by the event of dissolution (in Spencer’s articulation). I wonder how one might think of narrative dissipating into narrativity. Not so much all stories being chapters of a single story as all stories as potential building blocks for other stories. The challenge for me is actually observing a narrative degenerate. The glue is quick…[Read more]

Yes, I agree, François, one story does lead into another one…. And sometimes, what is the central story for us, with its point and everything, becomes just a building block for someone else’s story. Makes me think of what Rochester says in a poem, “Dead, we become the lumber of the world”.

Very tickled to discover that Rochester’s translation of Seneca continues thus:
Dead, we become the lumber of the world,
And to that mass of matter shall be swept
Where things destroy’d with things unborn are kept.-
Yes, quite impressive! I also recommend the Johnny Depp film on Rochester, ‘The Libertine’.

Queer Theory Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 10 months agoFinally published 34 years after his death, Foucault’s book Confessions of the Flesh sheds new light on the debate about freedom and power that shaped the reception of his works.

Dominik Hünniger deposited The “Normative Forces” of Difference: Ecology, Economy and Society during Cattle Plagues in the Eighteenth Century in the group
Medical Humanities on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoOne of the recurring themes in the public perception of containment policies during the current COVID-19 pandemic are the supposedly uneven and everchanging measures taken up by international, national and local authorities. This is especially the case in countries with a federal structure, like Germany. Not surprisingly, historical containment…[Read more]

Karsten Schubert deposited Umkämpfte Kunstfreiheit – ein Differenzierungsvorschlag in the group
Queer Theory Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months ago„Political Correctness“, „Identitätspolitik“ und „Cancel Culture“ werden heutzutage überwiegend als Waffen von Konservativen eingesetzt, um ihre Privilegien gegen emanzipative Neuregelungen zu verteidigen. Solche Neuregelungen als Einschränkung der Kunst- und Meinungsfreiheit zu kritisieren ist deshalb meist falsch. Tatsächlich tragen „Politic…[Read more]
