“Things which don’t shift and grow are dead things”: Revisiting Betonie’s Waste-Lands in Leslie Silko’s Ceremony
2014
This article explores the socio-political background that led to widespread Native American urban relocation in the period following World War II – a historical episode which is featured in Leslie Marmon Silko’s acclaimed novel Ceremony (1977). Through an analysis of the recycling, reinterpreting practices carried out by one of Ceremony’s memorable supporting characters, Navajo healer Betonie, Silko’s political aim to interrogate the state of things and to re-value Native traditions in a context of ongoing relations of coloniality is made most clear. In Silko’s novel, Betonie acts as an organic intellectual who is able to identify and challenge the 1950s neocolonial structure that forced Na…
Translating the Global Script of the Sustainable University: The Case of the University of Oslo
2015
In this chapter, Translating the Global Script of the Sustainable University: The Case of the University of Oslo, Romulo Pinheiro, Maryam Faghihimani and Jarle Trondal discuss the green strategy of University of Oslo. This chapter, which is conceptually based on neo-institutional theory, approaches the notion of the ‘sustainable organisation’ as a global, legitimate script, i.e. a dominant hegemonic idea which, once adopted and consequently adapted locally, is likely to enhance both internal and external legitimacy. This analysis is built on the empirical case of the University of Oslo (UiO), that sheds light on the ways in which the notion of a ‘sustainable university’ has been locally ‘tr…
Environmental activism as counter-hegemony? A comparative critical discourse analysis of self-representations of radical environmental organisations
2021
Działalność organizacji ekologicznych wiąże się z odrzucaniem zapewnień o wystarczających działaniach ochronnych i kwestionowaniem dominujących praktyk kulturowych. Jednak aby skutecznie mobilizować opinię publiczną, ruchy ekologiczne muszą prezentować się jako wiarygodne i akceptowalne, choć ich dążenia kwestionują wartości kultury hegemonicznej. Niniejsze studium to analiza porównawcza manifestów trzech radykalnych organizacji ekologicznych, Extinction Rebellion (UK) Deep Green Resistance (USA) i Pracowni na Rzecz Wszystkich Istot (Polska), pod kątem językowych, retorycznych i wizualnych strategii prezentacji wartości opozycyjnych do głównego nurtu kultury w kontekście kryzysu klimatyczne…

Campaigning for Strasbourg on Facebook: Introduction to a 12-Country Comparison on Parties’ Facebook Campaigns in the 2019 European Parliament Electi…
2021
European Parliament (EP) elections provide an ideal context for comparative studies on the communication strategies of political parties at national and European level. The 2019 EP election campaign allows analysing how the different political parties use Facebook to inform, interact with and mobilise voters. The study of the electoral campaign also enables the identification of differences and similarities between countries and between parties. This chapter introduces an edited volume that presents results of a quantitative content analysis of more than 12,000 Facebook posts published by political parties from 12 European countries in the last four weeks before the 2019 EP election. It des…
The Economics of Monetary Union: The Theory of Optimum Currency Areas
2013
In the 1960s, the theory of Optimum Currency Areas (OCAs) emerged as a by-product of the theoretical debate between fixed and flexible exchange rates. The OCAs approach singles out an economic characteristic to define an economic domain where there is exchange rate fixity erga intra, while there is exchange rate flexibility erga extra. In an optimum currency area, exchange rates fixity prevails internally without any type of internal or external disequilibrium. Each single characteristic ensures that floating or regular adjustments in nominal exchange rates are neither necessary, efficient nor desirable for stabilisation purposes. The literature proposes several economic criteria: factor mo…
The Invisible Violence of Celebrity Humanitarianism: Soft Images and Hard Words in the Making and Unmaking of Africa
2009
Through their actions to eliminate extreme poverty and preventable diseases in Africa, Irish musicians Robert (Bob) Geldof and Bono (Paul David Hewson) today form a visible and celebrated centre in the world of humanitarianism as political activists,' celebrity diplomats,' global Samaritans,' men who, to quote former World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, rock the establishment' (TIME 13.11.2006). Their contemporary calls to make poverty history' in Africa are so widely repeated and commonsensical that questions about the exceptionality of this humanitarian action itself rarely arise. In fact, despite the increasing visibility of celebrity humanitarianism, no research on their representa…
Hegel’s Non-Metaphysical Idea of Freedom
2016
the article explores the putatively non-metaphysical – non-voluntarist, and even non-causal – concept of freedom outlined in Hegel’s work and discusses its influential interpretation by robert Pippin as an ‘essentially practical’ concept. I argue that Hegel’s affirmation of freedom must be distinguished from that of Kant and Fichte, since it does not rely on a prior understanding of self-consciousness as an originally teleological relation and it has not the nature of a claim ‘from a practical point of view’.
Giuseppe Maggiore
2010
Nella voce sono delineate le opere d'ambito filosofico-giuridico e l'attività didattica di Giuseppe Maggiore (1882-1954), quest'ultima culminata con l'ufficio di rettore dell'Università di Palermo tra gli anni 1938 e 1939, quando nell'Ateneo palermitano sono emanati provvedimenti di natura antisemita. In questo senso se ne approfondiscono e contestualizzano gli scritti e la vicenda intellettuale anche tenendo conto del momento politico e filosofico italiano segnato dalla presenza del fascismo e dell'idealismo crociano e gentiliano, il cui idealismo di matrice hegeliana è dai lui riletto in cerca di ulteriori interpretazioni. Al suo nome è associato il romanzo "Sette e mezzo" (1952), in cui …
