O ensino jurídico e o paradoxo dos seus paradigmas: entre o positivismo, a reflexividade e a criatividade
Authors: Pinto Flávia Aguiar Cabral Furtado , Albuquerque Ana Paula Martins , Rodrigues Camila Maria , Therrien Jacques
Published: January 2022

Em meio as transformações sociais, políticas e econômicas de um mundo globalizado, a concepção do ensino superior está em constante questionamento. Nos últimos anos a partir das novas demandas do mercado, novos cursos de graduação surgiram e outros adaptaram-se. Os cursos tradicionais, enfrentam o desafio de acompanhar essas mudanças. Entre eles, destacam-se os cursos de bacharelado em Direito. Considerando a necessidade de superação do paradigma tradicional do positivismo. A pesquisa objetiva analisar o comprometimento dos docentes de Direito com a mudança paradigmática no ensino jurídico, através do estímulo à reflexividade e criatividade dos discentes. De cunho empírico, esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como um estudo descritivo-analítico e é desenvolvida, segundo a utilização dos resultados, de forma pura com abordagem descritiva e análise de dados qualitativa.  Foi realizada uma investigação junto ao corpo docente (n=10) de um Curso de Bacharelado em Direito de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior particular de Fortaleza/CE. Para a coleta de dados, foi formulado um questionário tomando como base um instrumento construído por Eunice Maria Lima Soriano de Alencar, em 1995, para avaliar o grau de incentivo a diferentes aspectos da criatividade por parte dos professores universitários. Entre os principais resultados encontrados, destaca-se que os docentes, ainda que acreditem estimular a reflexividade e criatividade dos discentes, adotam metodologias tradicionais, centradas na absorção dos conteúdos, com métodos de ensino pouco diversificados e avaliação da aprendizagem reduzida a aferição da absorção do conteúdo ministrado em sala de aula ou de livros-texto.

Published: January 2022

The improvement of the structure of the ZSM-12 zeolite has been extensively studied, due to its shape selectivity properties, acidity and hydrothermal stability, with this zeolite being used in a wide range of applications, such as adsorbent, ion exchanger and in important reactions in the petrochemical area. In this work, the effect on the crystallization characteristics and physicochemical properties of the ZSM-12 zeolite using methyltriethylammonium chloride, individually, and combined with n-butylamine, as structure-directing agent was studied. The syntheses were carried out at 160 and 170 °C between 48 and 144 h in static medium. The samples obtained were characterized by the techniques of X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and temperature-programmed ammonia desorption. The simultaneous use of methyltriethylammonium chloride and n-butylamine, at a ratio of 0.2, promoted the obtainment of highly crystalline ZSM-12, with an increase in the microporous area and acidity, denoting an improvement in the physicochemical properties of this zeolite.

Published: January 2022

Despite the riparian forest importance, it is evident that areas compose sub-basins undergo constant changes, culminating in these ecosystems’ degradation. Thus, the floristic composition of nine headwaters of the Piauitinga River Sub-Basin, located in Sergipe, Brazil, will be presented. A collection of botanical material was taken within a radius of 50 m from the water edge of each source. The taxonomic identification of the specimens was developed considering specialized literature, taxonomic keys, expert consultation, comparison with dissected perianth and queries to the Virtual Herbarium. There were 190 species of vascular plants distributed in 146 genera and 55 families. 188 species of the Angiosperms group with 144 genera and 51 botanical families and the pteridophytes are represented by two species, belonging to two genera and two families. It is recommended the use of ecological restoration models that contemplate such species in future projects to be relayed in this planning unit.

Identification of keratinophilic fungi in the coat microbiota of anteaters retained in captivity in two Brazilian Zoos
Authors: Bentubo Henri Donnarumma Levy , Moreira Giselle Silva , Paula Cátia Dejuste de , Miranda Flávia Regina , Coutinho Selene Dall'Acqua
Published: January 2022

Anteaters comprise three different species: Myrmecophaga tridactyla (flag anteater), Tamandua tetradactyla (mini anteater) and Cyclopes didactylus (anteater), some considered vulnerable to extinction. These species are distributed over a large part of the Brazilian territory, especially in the cerrado biome. In order to preserve these species, some research work on the health status of these animals has been carried out, both in captive and free-living animals. The objective of this study was to investigate keratinophilic filamentous fungi, including dermatophytes, in the coat of 27 adult anteaters retained in captivity. Among the animals studied, 14 were giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) and 13 were small anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla). These specimens were retained at the São Paulo Zoological Park Foundation and Quinzinho de Barros Municipal Zoological Park. Samples were obtained by means of rubbing sterilized squares of carpet on the coat of each animal. Each carpet was seeded in Petri dishes containing Mycobiotic™ agar medium (Difco™) and incubated at 25ºC until colony growth was observed. Dermatophytes were not isolated; however, the following genera of filamentous fungi were identified: Cladosporium spp. (51.8%), Scopulariopsis sp (29.6%), Aspergillus spp. (22.2%), Acremonium spp. and Chrysosporium spp. (11.1%) and Mucor spp. (7.4%), among these we highlight the keratinophilics: Scopulariopsis sp, Acremonium spp. and Chrysosporium spp. There are few studies on the prevalence of dermatophytes and other keratinophilics in wild animals and none on anteaters. It was possible to confirm the presence of non-dermatophytic keratinophilics in the normal microbiota of anteaters, similarly to what was observed in other mammals.
Socioeconomic and environmental impacts of wind parks in a municipality of the Médio Sertão Territory of Paraíba
Authors: Santos Antonio Augusto Martins dos , Morais Lucas Andrade de , Carvalho Eunice Ferreira , Batista Carolina Coeli Rodrigues
Published: January 2022

The investigation has a qualitative approach as a methodological procedure. The objective is to analyze the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of wind parks in the municipality of São José do Sabugi (PB), in the interior of Paraíba. As for the purposes, it consists of a descriptive research. As for the means, the research is characterized as bibliographical and documentary research. The municipality of São José do Sabugi-PB benefited from the collection of the Tax on Services of Any Nature (ISSQN). Income generation was mainly through land leases. Commercial activity was also affected, with the food sector being the most benefited. The forms of social participation took place through the work of the Environmental Protection Council (COPAM). The construction of roads was a positive point, but it became a problem, as vehicle traffic increased, generating the risk of accidents and changes in the daily lives of residents. During the road construction process there were impacts on the region's flora. The generation of noise and alteration of the landscape are also impacts present during the operation of wind parks in the municipality. Positive impacts are perceived in relation to economic factors, such as the collection of taxes by the municipality and land leasing. Environmental impacts were also generated that need to be mitigated, as they put both the fauna and flora of the region at risk.

O objeto de estudo desta pesquisa são as metodologias ativas na perspectiva da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, que é uma abordagem sobre a evolução da identidade educativa do trabalho diante do sentido mercadológico adquirido historicamente através do processo de desenvolvimento capitalista, assim como sobre a educação e suas transformações ao longo da história, analisando suas mudanças e destacando o desvelamento quanto ao projeto educacional brasileiro atual. Esse estudo é de natureza qualitativa, como uma pesquisa que surge diante da impossibilidade de compreender, através de dados numéricos, fenômenos ligados à intuição e subjetividade, portanto, não necessitando de uma estrutura numérica para analisá-lo, contudo, que produz uma enorme quantidade de dados narrativos. Assim, a nossa análise será feita a partir da investigação de dados encontrados nos documentos selecionados. Tendo em vista que as bases conceituais da educação profissional e tecnológica defendem uma educação humana integral, com perspectivas da unilateralidade, é importante compreender o sujeito como um todo, ou seja, um sujeito que não seja formado apenas para o mercado de trabalho, mas que tenha possibilidade de uma articulação entre educação e trabalho.
Isadora Duncan, Edward Gordon Craig and the Dream of an Impossible Theatre
Authors: Taxidou Olga
Published: January 2022

This chapter focuses on Duncan’s and Craig’s experiments in movement and manifestos for The Dance and The Theatre of the Future, and the ways they engage notions of Hellenism, especially in its utopian aspects. It reads their projects in tandem (the dancer and the marionette), underlining the emphasis on the performer and introducing the concept of embodied ekphrasis. Both Duncan and Craig’s experiments were not based on readings of Greek plays, and gestured towards a form of Hellenism echoed in the modernist concept of total theatre. Theorising and expressing performance through the double figures of the puppet and the dancer is given a classical genealogy through the introduction of Plato’s ideas on the subject, also quoted by Craig, again stressing the ways these modernist debates rehearse the ancient quarrel about the political and aesthetic efficacy of performance.
Corporeal Frames: Found-Footage Horror and the Dislocated Image
Authors: Cameron Allan
Published: January 2022

‘Found-footage’ horror films offer an intensive formal reflection on the video frame’s capacity to capture and articulate bodily relations. In such films, the visual perspective is provided by cameras within the narrative itself, whether wielded by the characters themselves or installed as instruments of surveillance. The frame thus takes on heightened significance as an epistemological and phenomenological boundary, outlining various kinds of ‘image-bodies’ including those captured onscreen but also those that hover out of frame, including camera operators, editors and even spectators. A subgenre founded on an overt invocation of the raw and the real, found-footage horror nonetheless presents the body itself as a textual effect, generated at the boundary between filmic discourse and the material world.
Chromatic Transfusions: Colour, Genre and Embodiment
Authors: Cameron Allan
Published: January 2022

As a fundamental material property, colour provides a rich field for horror’s engagement with bodies and media. The manipulation of colour can be used to emphasise the distinctness of forms but can also serve to blur physical and environmental boundaries, moving across bodies, objects and spaces. By extension, it can blur other boundaries as well, such as those relating to genre, gender and meaning. With their ambiguous narratives and shifting character identities, films like High Tension (2003), A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) and The Neon Demon (2016) have used colour’s mobility and semiotic instability both to produce and to undermine structures of meaning, modulating shifts between atmospheric and graphic horror, psychological anxiety and visceral embodiment.
The Irish Ecclesiastical Gazette
Authors: d’Alton Ian
Published: January 2022

The Irish Ecclesiastical Gazette, a monthly journal aimed at the clergy and laity of the then-established Protestant Church of Ireland was first published in March 1856, becoming weekly in 1880. This study sets the Gazette in the socio-cultural and political environment in which it was founded, an Ireland in which a resurgent Catholicism and nationalism had to be countered.It examines this privately-owned and operated concern - its ownership, its editors, its readership, its finances, its rivals and its uneasy relationship with the official Church of Ireland.It details how the Gazette approached the great issues of the day - disestablishment, nationalism and anti-Catholicism. It charts its gradual change from a largely clergy-oriented publication to one which became more the mouthpiece of, and an information exchange and comfort blanket for, the lay membership of this minority Church.
The Business Press
Authors: Score Melissa
Published: January 2022

This chapter argues that far from being simply a specialist area, the development of the British business press in the nineteenth century mirrors many of the editorial and commercial developments in the press as a whole. It notes the surge in titles in the late century and examines the role of readerships, particularly the increasing involvement of women in investment and share ownership. The role of the provincial press in covering regional markets is also cited as important. The progression from restricted upper-class readerships to mass consumption of business news was matched by the impact of technology: faster and more reliable financial news – including the crucial role played by wire services - led to news-driven coverage and permanent editorial space in mainstream publications.
Parnell, Edmund Dwyer Gray and the Press in Ireland
Authors: Larkin Felix M.
Published: January 2022

This case study explores Parnell’s relationship with the press in Ireland over the period of his political ascendancy, 1875-91. Parnell was the pre-eminent Irish nationalist leader in the second half of the nineteenth century. The case study focuses in particular on the Freeman’s Journal, which was the principal daily newspaper in Dublin in Parnell’s time, and on the career of its proprietor, Edmund Dwyer Gray. Gray was an innovative newspaperman and he introduced into the Freeman and its sister newspapers many of the features of the so-called ‘New Journalism’ from as early as 1877-8. Like W.T. Stead in England, he went to prison in the cause of a newspaper’s right to expose wrong. Parnell founded two newspapers as his personal organs to rival the Freeman, the weekly United Ireland (1881) and the Irish Daily Independent (1891), and both are also considered in the case study. The Independent was established during the infamous ‘split’ in the Irish party at Westminster following the O’Shea divorce case, in which Parnell was named as the co-respondent.
The Leisure and Hobby Press
Authors: Kent Christopher A.
Published: January 2022

The emergence of mass leisure combined with mass literacy ensured that recreational reading would become a major leisure activity. The periodical press expanded exponentially to meet this growing demand for leisure reading material. Anxiety about the sort of material consumed led to the creation of cheap, safe, improving periodicals such as the Leisure Hour. The commercial opportunity offered by the new readerships was met by an extraordinary variety of new periodicals, most of which put entertaining their readers above improving them. Particularly significant were the mass circulation Sunday newspapers, such as Reynolds’ Newspaper, found a distinctive formula for making news a form of entertainment that appealed to millions of readers by seeming to address them directly as individuals. Most journals aimed at more limited readerships by identifying and addressing audiences in particular ways. Perhaps the largest segment was that identified by distinctive title words such as “home” and “family.” “Society” journals promised to put readers “in the know” with gossip and celebrity interviews. Increasingly, advertising was integrated as a variety of “infotainment.” A substantial portion of the leisure press also addressed the proliferating hobbies of its readers such as music, photography, stamp collecting, gardening and pet fancying.
The Women’s Press
Authors: Ledbetter Kathryn
Published: January 2022

This essay surveys and analyzes the expansion of the nineteenth-century women’s press and discusses the evolving acceptance and response to women’s interests in the wider British press. Industrialization, cheaper printing processes, the growth of literacy, and new groups of middle-class women with pocket money, leisure time, and desire for social mobility created an increasingly diverse marketplace for women’s reading and writing during the nineteenth century. A few women’s periodicals emerged in Britain in the decades following the first women’s magazine in 1693, but not until the 1830s did women readers become a substantial commercial consideration for publishers. The basic offerings for women’s periodicals included fashion news, sentimental literature, needlework, court activities, and light feature essays and clippings about history, geography, nature, and religion. Throughout the century, articles debating the political, social, and economic problems of womanhood also appeared in the women’s press, and the discussion often filtered into more general newspapers and journals. Eventually, changing notions of what women should be, do, and think produced new opportunities. Publishers of newspapers and periodicals targeted toward men began to realize the financial potential in accommodating interests of new women readers.
The Provincial, Local and Regional Press
Authors: Jackson Andrew J. H.
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers the definitions, meanings and values generally associated with the provincial, local and regional press. It covers aspects of the growth of this media through the nineteenth century, featuring key spatial, chronological and thematic trends, as well as an analysis of the key causal factors and forces that brought about expansion and diversification. It pays particular attention to the newspaper as an agent, and the various modes of identity construction and place formation which such newspapers engaged in. This agency included the marking out of geographical catchments, the shaping of political spheres of influence, the fostering of business networks, the reporting on institutions and organisations, and the cultivation of local cultural provision. In addition, this section considers regional news discourse, both the critical as well as the evolving place-promotional ‘boosterist’ language much associated with regional press editorials. The chapter ranges broadly in its coverage of the provincial press, incorporating city and county publications, the district newspapers of major cities, and the ‘national’ press of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, highlighting what was to be found in common, as well as that which was distinctive and particular.
The Irish Times: ‘The Protestant and Conservative daily newspaper’
Authors: O’Brien Mark
Published: January 2022

First published in March 1859 and established by former conservative MP, Lawrence E. Knox, The Irish Times was aimed at Dublin’s mercantile and administrative class, which was predominantly Protestant and unionist. It articulated a belief that Ireland functioned best as part of the British Empire. In line with its conservative ethos it believed the position of the established (minority) church should be ‘left undisturbed’ and was opposed to the concept of the secret ballot, which had ‘been overrated by its promoters’. It did, however, recognise the need for land reform. Following Knox’s death in 1873 the title was purchased by Scottish businessman Sir John Arnott. As a philanthropist, Arnott was sympathetic to the objectives – though not the tactics – of the Land League. Home Rule, however, was a different issue: despite Arnott being sympathetic to the demands for Home Rule, The
Irish Times consistently and vehemently editorialised against it in 1886 and 1892. This strain of thinking was to continue through to the early twentieth century, when in an independent Ireland, nationalists were often quick to point to the title’s heritage as proof of its where its real, supposedly pro-British, sympathies lay.
Introduction
Authors: Moss Gemma
Published: January 2022

Drawing on examples from T. S. Eliot, Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, Ford Madox Ford and D. H. Lawrence, the introduction argues that modernist negotiations with music take part in projects to contest existing ways of thinking and living, which means they deserve close attention. Existing accounts of modernist engagements with music are complicated: music was not just used for communicating inner thoughts, or to bring form and content closer in writing, but as part of a project to combat worn-out ways of thinking and a society that had become increasingly rational, neglecting the aesthetic and spiritual life to which music appeals. The book’s relationships to the aims of the new modernist studies are outlined: new methodologies are applied to modernist literature by using an approach informed by T. W. Adorno’s musicology, and the parameters of modernism are expanded by making room for Warner alongside canonical modernists like Joyce and Pound. These three writers’ different politics – degrees of communism, nationalism and fascism – provide fertile ground to consider how aesthetics and politics interact.
Introduction
Authors: Papanikolaou Dimitris
Published: January 2022

The Introduction presents the debate around the term ‘Greek weird wave’ from its first appearance in a Guardian review in 2011. It explains why this term still proves useful for an analysis of 21st-century Greek filmmaking, before discussing the key theoretical terms and concepts underpinning the analysis in the book: allegory, metonymy, biopolitics and assemblage. Yorgos Zois’s celebrated short film Casus Belli (2010) is used as a case study.
Archive Trouble
Authors: Papanikolaou Dimitris
Published: January 2022

Attempting to answer some of the questions set in the previous chapter, this chapter turns to a theatre performance (City State, by the group Kanigunda) and a film (Homeland; dir. Tzoumerkas), both from 2010. Putting particular emphasis on the performance aesthetics of collage in the former, and the idiosyncratic editing style of the latter, the chapter develops a theory of archive trouble. Archive trouble is an embodied reaction to history-telling that aims to disturb its traditional forms, disassemble its accepted versions and rearticulate body and history. It is argued that ‘as archive trouble becomes a central modality of biopolitical realism, archival and allegorical modes of expression start working together, echoing one another, feeding off one another’, but also undermining each other. The Weird Wave’s radical potential rests on the way it problematizes archives of history and belonging, at the same time as it focuses on the limits of the body’s biopolitical condition.
Cather’s Bodily Art and the Emergence of Modernism
Authors: Reynolds Guy J.
Published: January 2022

This chapter looks at Cather as a transitional artist, a writer in dialogue with figures such as Henrik Ibsen. The chapter also situates Cather as a writer bridging late Victorianism and then Modernism, a writer above all of ‘transition’. Central parts of the argument focus on the figure of the opera singer – the diva – in order to map her interest in female bodies and their shifting cultural significance.
‘Sense-dwarfed’: Cather, Aestheticism and a New Corporealism
Authors: Reynolds Guy J.
Published: January 2022

This chapter begins with an account of Cather’s dialogue with Aestheticism and her fascination with what she called ‘the five avenues’ of the senses. The argument then looks at her representations of the male aesthete, before shifting to a close reading of her story, ‘Coming, Aphrodite!’ The chapter concludes with an extended reading of The Song of the Lark as a kind of narrative laboratory for her experiments with representing bodies and embodiment.
Pale Shades and Living Colours: Cather’s Looks
Authors: Reynolds Guy J.
Published: January 2022

Chapter Four is about eyes and looking, sight and vision. The argument centers on the gaze, specifically the male gaze, and how Cather then developed a more ironic and polyscopic narrative, where the female gaze is also important. The final parts of the chapter focus on viewing in My Ántonia and the visual lexicon of Shadows on the Rock in order to demonstrate Cather’s innovations in fictionalizing moments of looking.
Cather, Taste and National Cuisines: The Professor’s House, Death Comes for the Archbishop and Shadows on the Rock
Authors: Reynolds Guy J.
Published: January 2022

In chapter seven taste, food, and the cultures of cuisine emerge as key aspects of Cather’s writing of the body. A 1919 essay on food cultures (‘Roll Call on the Prairies’) leads into an account of the encounter between indigenous and European cuisines in Death Comes for the Archbishop. The chapter reads food narratives as foundational to Cather’s historical novels. Shadows on the Rock, especially, emerges as a text where cuisine becomes a way to explore cultural encounters, power, and colonization.
Conclusion: The Body of the Author
Authors: Reynolds Guy J.
Published: January 2022

Sensing Willa Catherconcludes with a chapter about Cather’s own body, about her essays dealing with other writers, and about the fictionalization (of herself as a young child) in Sapphira and the Slave Girl. This conclusion looks at her self-presentation, particularly through photography, and her accounts of the physical presence of her fellow writers. The last novel thus becomes a text embedded in very contemporary debates about whiteness, as we see Cather literally imagining herself listening to her black characters.
The Modernist Nonmodern: Provincialism and the Intimacy of Space
Authors: Majumdar Saikat
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers the relevance of literary modernism’s attachments to the nonmodern provincial for our present political climate. In his intimate engagement with South Asian writers Amrita Pritam and Mahasweta Devi alongside a range of modernists as well as his own novels and scholarship, Majumdar charts a restlessness with the cosmopolitan worldview shaping modern literature, and traces how literary modernism’s celebration of the provincial as a form of nonmodern spatial intimacy remains overshadowed by the movement’s identification with cosmopolitanism. The chapter argues that exploring the nonmodern spirit of literary aesthetics is an urgent project today in light of the global erosion of liberal modernity and its sociopolitical ambitions. At a time when many of modernity’s premises ‘seem to be failing miserably before the rise of authoritarian governments backed by jingoistic populism’, Majumdar writes, ‘the invocation of the nonmodern, as articulated in the celebration of the provincial and the irrational in works of Indian-language modernism […] is at once essential and the best possible gesture of literary activism’. In concluding this volume, Majumdar offers an arresting vista of modernism’s lasting intimacies.
Composing Khārijism
Authors: Hagemann Hannah-Lena
Published: January 2022

Chapter Three makes the case for the lack of a tangible Khārijite identity in early Islamic historiography. It focuses primarily on two case studies: the use of Khārijite language by non-Khārijite Muslims, many of them directly opposed to the rebels; and the replication of events and narrative content associated with the Khārijites. The analysis shows that literary Khārijism is defined by a series of constantly reiterated stock phrases that are often not unique to the rebels. The replication of certain events, such as the appointment of Khārijite leaders, according to particular narrative conventions further illustrates the distinctly rhetorical character of such accounts. The chapter thus highlights the challenges inherent in reconstructing Khārijite (and early Islamic) history without comprehensive historiographical analysis.
Narratives of Khārijite Origins
Authors: Hagemann Hannah-Lena
Published: January 2022

Chapter Four looks at specific themes in the portrayal of Khārijism during the caliphate of ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib. It maintains that the relevant accounts are primarily concerned with providing an apologia for ʿAlī’s conduct during the conflict with his rival Muʿāwiya b. Abī Sufyān at Ṣiffīn and for his slaughter of Khārijite opponents at Nahrawān a year later. The Khārijites here serve mainly as mouthpieces for different positions in a debate centred on the correctness of ʿAlī’s behaviour. The overwhelming interest that the sources show in this affair indicates its centrality for the formation of a consensus regarding the events of early Islamic history, particularly concerning the status of ʿAlī and the development of Shīʿī positions over time. Connected to this is the second main theme, the relationship between ʿAlī and his cousin ʿAbdallāh b. ʿAbbās. In his capacity as an eminent Companion and scholar and particularly as an important ancestor of the ʿAbbāsids, Ibn ʿAbbās occupies a prominent position in the narratives of early Islam. But while the sources stress the close and cordial relationship between ʿAlī and Ibn ʿAbbās, on the whole they confirm ʿAlī’s superiority.
Rational Reality
Authors: Harvey Ramon
Published: January 2022

This chapter builds up the philosophical foundations for a systematic Māturīdī theology, interweaving discussion of premodern kalām and contemporary philosophy. The first section looks at the interrelationship between the mind and the world, including discussion of phenomenology and quantum mechanics. The second section looks at the essence-existence distinction, including discussion of intuitionism in the philosophy of mathematics and its implications for logic. The final section explores ontology, including both a treatment of al-Māturīdī’s ontology and of modern trope theory.
Creative Action
Authors: Harvey Ramon
Published: January 2022

This chapter looks at divine creative action, which for Māturīdīs is considered to be an eternal attribute of God. In the first part of the chapter there is an analysis of al-Māturīdī’s contribution to the question, which is supplemented by its reception in the works of subsequent figures. Particular attention is given to the debate with the Ashʿarī school on this question. In the second part of the chapter, an effort is made to articulate a contemporary Māturīdī approach to God’s creative action, taking into account the preceding theological discussion in the book.

The UK’s departure from the EU is a major geo-political development by any definition. This chapter reflects on James Bond’s role in this development. The apparent ease with which the Daniel Craig incarnation of Bond both asserts a British identity and moves around the world has been repeatedly invoked in recent political debates in and about the UK. The 2014 Monocle report and 2015 Portland report on soft power identified the UK as one of the world’s leading soft powers, both citing the Bond films as contributors to that status. Around the same time, the Bond films were also roped into VisitBritain’s promotional campaign to make Britain seem an attractive place to visit, with the slogan ‘Bond is GREAT Britain’. This chapter explores how the nation-branding at stake here coincided with the visions of the Brexiteers. Ironically, the soft power and commercial nationalism captured in this vision of the UK depends on multi-national inward investment in UK’s cultural economy. The chapter argues that this is the plight of national cinema in a neoliberal, globalised world.
The Classical Regime of Literary Comfort: From Homer to Aristotle
Authors: Pieters Jürgen
Published: January 2022

This chapter starts from a close reading of the famous scene of consolation between Achilles and Priamos in the Iliad’s closing book (Book 24). The logic of ‘eleos’ that governs the scene is related to what in the book is identified as the ‘classical regime of consolation’, derived from a number of consolatory writings that date from Antiquity (Crantor, Cicero, Seneca, …). In the chapter’s closing section the classical regime of comfort is related to Plato and Aristotle’s analyses of literary writing, the infamous discussion on ‘mimesis’.
Temporal Powers: Second Sight, the Future and Celtic Modernity
Authors: Gibbons Luke
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines an archaic ‘Celtic’ heresy of space and time that re-emerged in the interwar period, that of ‘prevision’, or foreseeing the future. In this heresy, ancient superstition converges with cutting-edge scientific thought, namely the theory of relativity that overthrows the orthodoxy of linear, unidirectional time. In Bram Stoker’s pre-war novels The Mystery of the Sea (1902) and The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and in interwar novels Second Sight (1940) by Neil Gunn and The Unforeseen (1946) by Dorothy Macardle, Celtic lore about ‘second sight’ is given a distinctively modern turn by drawing on ideas associated with the Irish writer J. W. Dunne’s controversial An Experiment with Time (1927). The disruption of preordained fate through certain narrative indeterminacies marks a distinctive contribution of the Celtic periphery to modernism in dark times. (132)
Hereseas: Water in English and Irish Modernism
Authors: Pearson Nels
Published: January 2022

This chapter argues for a spatial understanding of Irish modernity and modernism that stresses the island’s geographical, historical, and symbolic connection to the sea. Surrounded by sea and laced with waterways, Ireland has a long history of archipelagic and continental maritime connectivity. In the Irish imaginary, the sea has figured as both a threat and a lure, bringing imperialist invaders to the island but also fostering economic and cultural commerce with a wider world. At times Irish nationalism has adopted a defensive posture towards the sea by insisting on an insular conception of national identity that defies the multicultural influences of the sea. Irish modernism registers the island as both enmeshed in and estranged from water routes, both alienated from and participating in global circulation.
Ireland’s Philatelic Modernism
Authors: Ulin Julieann Veronica
Published: January 2022

This chapter traces the evolution of the humble postage stamp in Ireland – especially from the 1920s to the 1950s – from nationalist heresy to nationalist orthodoxy. Stamps played a significant heretical role in asserting an Irish national identity – for both symbolic and fundraising purposes – and harnessing revolutionary energies pre-independence. Later, however, they promoted a nationalist orthodoxy intended to shape ideology domestically and perception of Ireland internationally, after the foundation of the Free State. Ulin examines the complex political constraints that stifled innovations in philatelic design and prevented postage stamps from emulating modernist experiments in print culture and modern design.

‘Stories Are a Different Kind of True’: Gender and Narrative Agency in Contemporary Irish Women’s Fiction
Authors: White Siân
Published: January 2022

This chapter addresses the relationship between gender and narrative agency in three recent experimental novels by women writers, Emma Donoghue’s Room (2010), Eimear McBride’s A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing (2013), and Anna Burns’s Milkman, which won the Booker Prize in 2018. These novels build on the modernist legacy of James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and Flann O’Brien by using experimental form specifically to critique orthodoxies of gendered power. All depict women and children injured and exploited by men but assign these victims the role of narrator, much as the #MeToo movement has encouraged survivors to speak out against sexual violence and harassment. Though survivors’ testimony is routinely silenced or disbelieved because of unconventional expression, these narrators’ seemingly unreliable accounts – subjective, fragmented, digressive – paradoxically confer credibility on their voices.
Introduction: Out of Ireland
Authors: Ellmann Maud
Published: January 2022

Given that “modernism” is usually associated with the metropole, and “Irish” with provincialism and cultural conservatism, the title of this Companion might be seen as something of an oxymoron. The definition of “Irish” is complicated by the island’s history of partition and diaspora, while the traditional male Olympiad of Irish modernism—Joyce, Yeats, Beckett—has been shaken up by feminist, postcolonial, environmental, New Materialist, and other critical challenges. This Companion defines modernism as resistance to orthodoxy, drawing attention to the historical coincidence of modernism in the arts with the Modernist movement in the Catholic Church, which was condemned by Pope Pius X as the “synthesis of all heresies.” Taking a hint from the Pope, this Companion pinpoints five heresies, or modes of resistance to orthodoxy, which furnish the subtitles for each section of the book: heresies of time and space, heresies of nationalism, aesthetic heresies, heresies of gender and sexuality, and critical heresies. This introduction provides an overview of each heresy, followed by brief summaries of the chapters under its rubric. It also offers pointers for further study of modernist music, visual art, and architecture in Ireland.
Heroic Human Pixels: Mass Ornaments and Digital Multitudes in Zhang Yimou’s Spectacles
Authors: McGrath Jason
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers how Zhang Yimou has reimagined traditional Chinese culture and history through the use of CGI in his blockbuster film Hero (Yingxiong, 2002) and his choreography in the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It examines but refutes the accusation that he has pursued a totalitarian or fascist aesthetic by looking closely at how the ‘digital multitude’ is represented in the film and the ‘mass ornament’ is manifested in the Olympics ceremonies. Ultimately, the mass spectacles organised by Zhang tell us more about the ‘harmony’ of contemporary China with globalised capitalism than about either totalitarian aesthetics or nationalist propaganda, and they demonstrate the logic of digital labour in a globalised economy.
The Blockbuster Breakthrough: The Fantastic in Hero
Authors: Yang Li
Published: January 2022

This chapter identifies the fantastic as a crucial element that makes Zhang Yimou’s Hero (2002) the first successful locally grown blockbuster in China. In addition to a high budget and all-star cast, Hero distinguished itself from many previous failed blockbuster attempts though a “fantastic” makeover that turned a household historical tale into an enthralling viewing experience featuring mythicised narrative and spectacular visuals. The fantastic energy, unleashed by the adoption of the beloved martial arts film genre, helped to find the optimal aesthetic solution to the imported blockbuster financial model and to land the film at the balance point between art and commerce. The result was a stylistically unique, yet crowd-pleasing, local blockbuster that channelled the wonderous exhibitionist impulse of early cinema and ushered Chinese commercial cinema into a new era.
The fashion revolution
Authors: Lundén Elizabeth Castaldo
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores the fashion revolution of the 1990s. It discusses how the emergence of cable television with niche signals broadcasting fashion around the globe 24/7 created interest and generated a demand for fashion content that benefitted the promotional strategies of consolidated global fashion conglomerates. In this context, the Oscars rehashed the position of a fashion consultant, now renamed fashion coordinator, putting Fred Hayman in charge. As the owner of a Beverly Hills boutique and founding member of the Rodeo Drive Committee, Hayman had a personal interest in promoting the West Coast fashion scene and in developing the real estate business in Rodeo Drive for the massive disembark of high-end fashion flagship stores. This period at the Academy Awards also marked the ceremony’s return to Hollywood, into the newly built former Kodak Theatre, and the Academy’s production of its own first fashion pre-show with ABC.
Twilight of the idols
Authors: Lundén Elizabeth Castaldo
Published: January 2022

This chapter reviews the contemporary status of the red-carpet phenomenon, addressing current debates about its potential as a platform for political protest, raising questions of sustainability and the future of red-carpet fashion, and problematising the fascination with the so-called Hollywood Royalty.
The Last Ottoman Rogues: The Kurdish–Armenian Alliance in Syria and the New State System in the Interwar Middle East
Authors: Tejel Jordi
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores how and to what extent the new borders in the Middle East created opportunities and constraints to ex-Ottoman clandestine political groups. By combining transnational history and borderland studies literature, the chapter focuses on the Khoybun League which, in 1927, brought together the formerly Istanbul based Kurdish activists with the Armenians of the Dashnak Party into a revolutionary organization active in French Syria and Lebanon with the aim of ‘liberating’ Armenia and Kurdistan from the Republic of Turkey. It discusses how the propagandists of the revolt benefitted from the increasing means of communication and transportation available in cities such as Aleppo, Cairo, Beirut or Alexandretta to disseminate their political goals and collect funds places as far as Detroit, Rome and Nice. In its second section, however, the chapter proves that the transnational networks mobilised by Kurdish and Armenian rebels to fight the Turkish regime in fact brought regional states closer, as Turkey, British Iraq, French Syria, and ultimately Persia curtailed revolutionaries’ mobility in different ways. While the disruption of territorial sovereignty offered unprecedented political opportunities to former ‘Ottoman’ transnational revolutionary networks, the new emerging international system imposed new realities that slowly turned out to be insurmountable.
