МІЖОСОБИСТІСНА ДОВІРА: СУТНІСТЬ, ВИДИ ТА ФУНКЦІЇ
Authors: Губа Наталія Олександрівна
Published: May 2024

У статті проаналізовано феномен міжособистісної довіри, його сутність, види та функції. Показано, що наявність довіри в житті людини сприяє стабільності та передбачуваності в її соціальній взаємодії, що сприяє почуттю єднання, полегшує спільну працю та співпрацю між людьми. Міжособистісна довіра може виникати через узгодження різноманітних чинників, як-от особисті інтереси, переконання, емоції, досвід, а також адаптивність та рівень інтелектуального розвитку. Зазначено, що вона формується, коли людина впевнена у відповідності й адекватності процесів, явищ та реакцій інших людей власним цінностям. Значущими ознаками міжособистісної довіри визначаються: позитивне та доброзичливе ставлення між особами; спільний позитивний досвід взаємодії; відчуття впевненості в цінностях та надійності іншої особи, що є важливим аспектом виявлення довіри. Міжособистісна довіра розглядається як динамічна характеристика взаємин між людьми. Виокремлено компоненти міжособистісної довіри: когнітивний, конативний і афективний. Перший компонент – когнітивний – відображає знання особи про себе та світ, а також норми поведінки, на основі яких людина робить прогноз можливих наслідків передбачуваного вчинку. Внаслідок порівняння знань про ситуацію та оцінку власних перспектив формується другий компонент – конативний, який охоплює вибір індивідом певної стратегії поведінки. Третій компонент – афективний – вміщує припущення особи про рівень безпеки під час взаємодії з іншим суб’єктом та оцінку власних можливостей. Відмічено: чим більш складні та виразні взаємини між людьми, тим більша ймовірність, що вони відчуватимуть довіру одне до одного, і тим глибше розвиватиметься їхнє спілкування. Виокремлено види міжособистісної довіри: стратегічну, генералізовану, моралістичну, односторонню, взаємну. Визначено функції міжособистісної довіри: забезпечення спільної діяльності (основна), інтегрувальна, комунікативна, інтерактивна, перцептивна, редукувальна, управлінська, передбачувальна, орієнтувальна, ефективізувальна, стабілізувальна, психологічна, особиста, узагальнювальна та фонова.

Por una filosofía de la migración. México en Chicago: La diáspora
Authors: Galindo Lara Claudia
Published: May 2024

Este libro parte de las inquietudes que el propio ir y venir de la autora entre México y Estados Unidos, le había planteado e intenta mostrar cómo en la actualidad las vidas de muchos inmigrantes y sus descendientes se han tornado transnacionales y de cómo la globalización y la tecnología han acortado las distancias y los tiempos entre dos países que comparten frontera. Su interés fue acercarse a qué significan estos procesos en la vida cotidiana de las personas, la cual se encuentra partida en dos, que ha cambiado la idea que se tenía de la migración, en muchos sentidos y que, al parecer, va más rápido que la teoría que pretende explicarla. En esta obra se pretende, desde un enfoque de derechos humanos, a través de un lenguaje claro y directo, sensibilizar a la población en general sobre un tema que no solamente en el presente está modificando la composición de las sociedades, los mercados de trabajo y la conformación cultural y los tejidos sociales, sino que dadas las condiciones tanto ambientales, como políticas y económicas del mundo, será un fenómeno que no solo no va a disminuir o desaparecer, sino que irá en aumento. Por lo anterior, se considera relevante comprender la migración, sus causas y consecuencias para dejar de concebirla como una elección individual, sino más bien, como producto de contextos adversos para la natural aspiración humana de vivir una vida mejor. Se intenta, por ende, enfocar la migración en un contexto amplio, histórico y social y al mismo tiempo, argumentar sobre el papel del Estado como reproductor de migrantes y discutir el papel de los gobiernos en su responsabilidad como garantes de bienestar básico y protección para la población en sus satisfactores mínimos; además de deliberar acerca de las formas en las cuales las sociedades receptoras acogen a la población inmigrante. Asimismo, se distinguirán nociones básicas como ciudadanía (y ausencia de esta) vulnerabilidad, identidad y pertenencia. El objetivo central será, en este sentido, contribuir a ampliar las nociones que se tienen sobre la migración, e intentar desterrar prejuicios acuñados, en parte, ante la inexperiencia con el fenómeno que propician actitudes xenófobas o de confrontación con el «otro». Por tal razón, deberíamos preguntarnos: ¿cuál es el futuro de la migración?, ¿cómo podemos actuar como sociedad ante la migración? Si a los potenciales lectores este trabajo puede llevarlos a estas inquietudes, se habrá considerado que cumplió su propósito.

TBE In France
Authors: Hansmann Yves , Velay Aurélie
Published: May 2024

The first human case of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) infection in France was reported in 1968 in Alsace, an eastern region next to the German border: a gamekeeper working in a forest near Strasbourg.1 Between 1970 and 1974, an extensive research survey confirmed the presence of TBEV in ticks and rodents in this French region. Eight percent of adult tick batches collected were infected (Ixodes ricinus) by the TBEV. Tick collection occurred in a forest near Strasbourg, the main city in the region. Nymphs were more rarely infected (1.6% of the collected lots).1 These data were confirmed in 2011 in Alsace in Guebwiller’s Valley, a middle altitude forest, with identification of western (European) subtype TBEV (TBEV-EU). The infection rate still remains low: TBEV was detected only in the I. ricinus nymphs (2.48%) that were collected during May; however, not in those collected during the other spring or summer months. In a more recent study, Bestehorn et al., collected ticks (953 male, 856 female adult ticks and 2,255 nymphs) in endemic foci in the upper Rhine region in France and Germany between 2016, 2017 and 2018 by flagging2. The minimal infection rate (MIR) of the collected ticks in the Foret de la Robertsau (France) was estimated to 0,11% (1 nymph/944 ticks). The isolated and sequenced TBEV strain from Foret de la Robertsau (F) is related to circulating TBEV isolates from eastern Bavaria and the Czech Republic. In the French department Alsace, there are today at least two independent TBEV strains circulating: the historical Alsace strain isolated in 1971 and the newly identified strain from Foret de la Robertsau. Other wooded regions (Ardennes) were explored for TBEV in ticks, but without evidence of virus infection.3

Literature, Art and Slavery
Authors: Plasa Carl
Published: May 2024

Since around 2000, there has been a noticeable upsurge in critical work on the visual archive of Atlantic slavery, resulting in a host of important studies. While most of these contributions are weighted towards images created during the era of Atlantic slavery itself, some critics have adopted a more historically far-reaching approach, exploring the ways in which such images live on beyond the original context of their production, circulation and consumption, returning imaginatively in different forms at different times and in different places. This book shares the fascination with the afterlives which such visual materials have enjoyed, but places the accent on how that posterity has evolved in the realms of literature, especially poetry. The book’s specific focus is on ekphrastic encounters between contemporary literature from the mid-1990s to 2020 and images of slavery that belong (with one exception) to British and American traditions and were produced between c. 1779 and 1939. This is a period that witnessed several landmark events in the intertwined transatlantic histories of slavery and race—from the campaign for the abolition of the slave trade (1787-1807) to the American Civil War (1861-5) to the Harlem Renaissance (c. 1919-1934).
African-American Ekphrasis and the ‘Peculiar Institution’
Authors: Plasa Carl
Published: May 2024

In this chapter, the emphasis falls squarely upon the ways in which African American writers have turned the ekphrastic gaze towards images that either represent the peculiar institution of American slavery directly or are closely related to it and that were all created by white Americans between 1805 and c. 1900. Examples of such a turn are certainly infrequent, if all the more important for that reason and provided here in an ekphrastic gallery of six short texts by four authors: John Edgar Wideman, Yusef Komunyakaa, Natasha Trethewey and Terrance Hayes. Despite the different perspectives from which these writers approach the same visual archive, their engagements with slavery ultimately operate along comparable lines, often taking the images that inspire them in fresh directions, placing them in new contexts or using them to generate new narratives.
‘Quitting the Plain and Useful Path of History and Fact’: Early Irish Gothic and the Literary Marketplace
Authors: Morin Christina
Published: May 2024

This chapter subjects to careful scrutiny a number of late-eighteenth century Irish gothic fictions in order to provide a detailed portrait of an as-yet relatively vaguely sketched period in Irish gothic literary production: the 1790s. Considered the heyday of ‘the Gothic novel’, the final decade of the eighteenth century saw a number of Irish writers, including Regina Maria Roche, Sarah Green, James White, Anna Milliken, Stephen Cullen, and Mrs. F. C. Patrick, adapt, re-shape, and complicate the literary models now traditionally associated with Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis, and William Godwin. Irish gothicists of this period have tended to be dismissed as mere imitators. However, works such as The Children of the Abbey (1796), The Irish Heiress (1797), and More Ghosts! (1798) exerted a considerable impact in the literary marketplace and on the development of so-called ‘first wave’ gothic. This chapter considers what happens to our conventional views of ‘the Gothic novel’ and its progress in the 1790s when we more fully integrate examples of contemporary Irish gothic into our analysis.
Protestant Gothic
Authors: Milbank Alison
Published: May 2024

Traditionally, Irish Gothic writing has been viewed as a primarily Protestant endeavour, characterised by tropes of guilt, anxiety and fatalism, expressive of the decline of Anglo-Irish ascendancy influence. While the dominance of Anglican authors is unquestionable, this essay argues that their work demonstrates a muted but sincere ecumenical desire, which can be traced all the way from Thomas Leland’s romance, Longsword of 1762 to Elizabeth Bowen’s fiction of the mid-twentieth century. A historical survey of the Church of Ireland reveals not only a strongly Calvinist and anti-Catholic ecclesiology which generates plots of liberation from ‘superstition’ but equally from Archbishop Ussher onwards an attempt to regenerate a more ancient and inclusive Christianity. This double gesture of rejection and recuperation is visible even within a virulently anti-Catholic novel such as Maturin’s Melmoth the Wanderer, in which Catholic and Protestant protagonists end by sharing a common home, and in Charlotte Riddell’s The Nun’s Curse, where it takes a tragic form, after ecumenical accommodation fails. In Bram Stoker’s fiction, freemasonry ideas are employed to enable a union of Protestant reliance on the word with Catholic sacramentals, while Le Fanu’s employment of Swedenborgianism serves a similar mediatory and ecumenical purpose. Bowen continues this association of marginal spiritual practices with the Anglo-Irish, only to critique both and to assert the demonic power of the supernatural over those who have lost their theological bearings.
Portraits and Landscape: İklimler/Climates (2006)
Authors: Mello Cecília
Published: May 2024

This chapter offers a close analysis of Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s İklimler/Climates (2006) from the point of view of its intermedial relationship with photography and painting. His first film shot in digital, Climates signals a move away from his hometown province of Çanakkale, where his previous films had been shot, or bore a strong relationship with, and to which he would only return in Ahlat Ağacı/The Wild Pear Tree (2018). It is also the first and only film where Ceylan appears as an actor, implicating his own body into his highly personal cinematic world. Taking these considerations into account, as well as acknowledging the significant role of photography in Ceylan’s career, the chapter discusses the film’s intermedial relationship with the art of painting and with the art of photography, noticeable in two opposing but complementary types of shots: the close-up ‘moving portraits’ of faces and the establishing shots of landscape. The combination of painterly and photographic ‘moving portraits/affection-images’ and ‘landscape views’ brings into the equation the issue of cinematic scale and proportion, whose manipulation is the fundamental property of the cinema capable of creating meaningful parallels between the diverse physical and human geographies of Turkey, and between subjective memory and the weight of history.
Mary Wollstonecraft
Authors: Kirkley Laura
Published: May 2024

Considering her transformation of texts by European writers and orators such as Rousseau, Mirabeau, Stéphanie-Félicité Genlis, Christian Gotthilf Salzmann and Margareta de Cambon, as well as British sentimental philosophers and the radical theologian Richard Price, this book redefines Mary Wollstonecraft as a cosmopolitan thinker. Not only was she driven to reject national allegiances, her works were shaped by the European exchange of enlightened ideas and her experiences of travel and expatriation in Revolutionary France. To this transnational perspective, she brought a cosmopolitan ethic grounded in her belief in universal justice and a moral imperative to subordinate local and national allegiances to philanthropy, or love of humankind. Drawing on modern philosophers of cosmopolitanism such as Martha Nussbaum and Kwame Anthony Appiah, the book demonstrates that Wollstonecraft recurred consistently to questions that still divide theorists of cosmopolitanism, including how far our imagined communities can extend, and whether we can reconcile cosmopolitan values with the claims of culture and the realities of human psychology. For Wollstonecraft, implementing any framework of political justice depends on people extending compassion beyond the local and particular to embrace a global community of sentiment. The book also analyses her growing appreciation of cultural diversity and her belief that cosmopolitan values take root most effectively in nations with distinctive literary and cultural systems. At a time of international conflict, burgeoning capitalism and colonial enterprise, Wollstonecraft represents philanthropy and cultural authenticity as the means to resist tyranny and imperialism in all their forms and light the way to global justice.

The new development plan system distinguished between strategic matters and detailed land use policies and proposals and required planning authorities to involve the public at specific stages in the preparation of structure and local plans. The new development plan system was introduced with the reorganisation of local government in 1975, and this chapter describes how the new regional council prepared its first structure plan, the Borders Region Structure Plan 1980, and twelve local plans to guide future development. It examines the key policies and proposals on housing, economic development, traffic and transport, the built environment, the countryside, and tourism and recreation set out in the structure and local plans.
Preparing for the Twenty-first Century

Chapter nine examines the role of the Planning and Development Department leading up to the reorganisation of local government in 1996, when the Borders Regional Council and its four constituent district councils were replaced by the Scottish Borders Council. Four district-wide local plans were produced to replace the twelve local plans adopted in the 1980s. These set out future policy on housing, economic development, the built environment, the rural environment, and countryside recreation. The chapter also describes how regional policy on issues such as forestry, mineral working, sustainable development and renewable energy were pursued in response to a growing awareness of the threat to the environment of inappropriate development, leading to the establishment of a Borders Forum on Sustainable Development, Local Agenda 21 Working Group and a renewable energy strategy for the region.
Surprise, Revisited: An EU Performance Evaluation of the Arab Uprisings
Authors: Ikani Nikki
Published: May 2024

Chapter 2 unpacks the surprising nature of the Arab uprisings and the performance of the EEAS, INTCEN and DG NEAR, challenging some of the extant explanations in the literature. It draws on 32 interviews with EU policy officials working across the studied institutions, complemented by knowledge claim tracing using open-source data. By unpacking who was surprised (the spread of the surprise), on what (the scope of the surprise) and to what degree (the dissonance of the surprise), this chapter complements the extant literature by focusing on the characteristics which made the Arab uprisings so surprising and the reasons for the performance problems. The analysis finds that the performance of the European institutions in anticipating the uprisings has been affected by the diagnostic difficulty of the Arab uprisings, as underlined in previous studies. Yet, this has been particularly hampered by the limited capacities for knowledge production and transfer within the institutions, as well as by a political unwillingness within the institutions in accepting discordant knowledge claims. It also notes the scattering of relevant knowledge across the institutions and across hierarchical levels. This analysis prepares the ground for identifying lessons to be learned such as creating analytical dissent channels for staff.
Guillaume Apollinaire’s Curiosities
Authors: Van Dijck Cedric
Published: May 2024

This chapter explores Guillaume Apollinaire’s experiments with the material culture of the trenches, ranging from his articles and poems on war objects such as the Frisian horse to the decorative items he carved out of war debris. On and off the page, these experiments disarmed the deadly objects of an industrial conflict, turning them into peculiar products of everyday life at the front. I argue that this reappropriating impulse also underwrote Apollinaire’s engagement with the trench press: tattered magazines and shoddily produced booklets handprinted in the war zone. My reading focuses on two poems in his trench volume Case d’Armons, ‘1915’ and ‘Postcard’. Through a collage aesthetic – both poems are linked by a military postcard glued into the volume – the poet playfully subverted the everyday and military connotations of this print artefact, making the volume as a whole into what he termed a ‘bibliographical curiosity’.
“A sad tale’s best for winter,” but for spring a comedy is better: Time, Turn, and Genre(s) in The Winter’s Tale
Authors: Altman Joel B.
Published: May 2024

This chapter directly addresses the fact that Shakespeare changes literary genres mid-way through The Winter’s Tale, turning from a serious domestic drama to seeming tragedy in the third act when Hermione is on trial for adultery and the Oracle speaks. Then the scene shifts to Bohemia, where Antigonus is charged with disposing of the baby, but is chased by a hungry bear, and the genre further modulates from tragedy to farcical comedy. The chapter goes on to suggest that Time is Shakespeare’s “play doctor,” who turns potential tragedy to romantic intrigue comedy in the treatment of Perdita and Florizel. There is a suggestion that the eccentric generic structure of the play is deliberate. Shakespeare had experimented with tragicomic structures before, in All’s Well and Measure for Measure, but now clearly follows the examples of Giraldi Cinzio and Baptista Guarini in composing his own tragedia di fin lieto.
Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s Philosophy of Life
Authors: Žukauskaite Audrone
Published: May 2024

Chapter 3 traces Simondon’s and Ruyer’s influence on Deleuze and Guattari’s works. In Difference and Repetition Deleuze investigates the internal multiplicity within the organism, which appears as a tension between the virtual mode of differentiation, charged with internal differences, and the actual process of morphogenesis which incarnates these differential traits into actual beings. The process of morphogenesis is described as intensive ‘dramatisation’, which ends up in actual differenciation into ‘species and parts’. However, in his later works, written with Guattari, the distinction between two modes of different/ciation is transformed into an investigation into external multiplicities, made of relations between different organisms, or between organisms and their environments. In A Thousand Plateaus Deleuze and Guattari remain hostile to the organicist notion of the organism (understood as an organised whole) and suggest a major reconceptualisation of the organism in terms of an assemblage, which, in contrast to the lines of descent and filiation, is open to symbiosis and ‘unnatural participations’. Deleuze and Guattari read symbiosis as a multiplicity that is defined not by biological features but by co-functioning and multiple interactions.
General Organology: Between Organism and Machine
Authors: Žukauskaite Audrone
Published: May 2024

Chapter 5 takes the discussion back to Simondon and his reconsideration of technical objects. Simondon creates a quasi-biological notion of the evolution of technical objects, although keeping in mind the difference between technical objects and living beings. Simondon’s insights can be traced to Georges Canguilhem, who proposed the term ‘organology’. Organology examines technical invention as ‘a universal biological phenomenon’ and redefines machines as organs of the human species. Bernard Stiegler significantly elaborated the notion of ‘general organology’ and asserted that human life can be maintained only through the invention of tools and the organisation of the inorganic. Stiegler explained ‘general organology’ as a theory encompassing the articulation of bodily organs, technological objects and social organisations. In this respect, Stiegler’s ‘general organology’ allows us to compare biological, technological and social individuation as different stages of collective ontogenesis. The notion of organology is further elaborated by Yuk Hui, who argues that technical objects become organic in the sense that they incorporate organic properties, such as recursivity and contingency. Thus, ‘general organology’ is a theory which explains technology through the model of the organism and of organic properties characteristic to living beings.

Authors: Kaisary Philip
Published: May 2024

Tracks changes made in the film adaptation of Solomon Northup’s 1853 narrative 12 Years a Slave. These include the omission of Northup’s detailed descriptions of the production of sugar and cotton, and his accounts of Black agency and rebellion. The chapter also considers the impacts of the film’s strikingly beautiful imagery of Louisiana.
Love in a Cold Climate: Lovers Rock
Authors: Austin Thomas
Published: May 2024

Centred on the Small Axe episode Lovers Rock, which celebrates a house party in early 1980s West London, this chapter considers the gender politics of both lovers’ rock as a sub-genre of reggae and Lovers Rock as a drama. It also scrutinises the film’s aesthetics, including the ramifications of McQueen’s redeployment of a framing device first used in his short Just Above My Head.
Beyond the Nation-State: Multilevel Democracy in Europe
Authors: Keating Michael
Published: May 2024

This chapter questions the state-centric basis of European democracy. It presents the concept of rescaling to explore what multilevel democracy entails and advances the argument that representation and accountability must be understood in a pluralist mode. The European political order is characterised by a mismatch between the territorial units where political power is concentrated and the multiple settings where political interests and democratic claims are formulated. Democracy cannot be reduced to the revealed preferences of citizens through elections but needs to also include deliberative arrangements where members of societies may participate and find compromises. Balancing deliberation with territorially based notions of representation gives rise to a host of democratic dilemmas that this chapter helps discern.
Europe’s Democratic Dilemmas in Historical Perspective
Authors: Berman Sheri
Published: May 2024

This chapter of reflections on democracy in the European Union from a historical perspective, focusing on the broad social and political conditions of European democracy and its evolution. It also discusses contemporary developments that provide clues to its current fragility. The chapter highlights the need for considering the type of interventionist regulatory systems that enabled European nation-states in the post war era to find a balance between the market and democratic politics in a way that served as a protection against its more damaging side-effects and paved the way for stable democratic systems.
Conclusion: Narrating the History of the Non-historical
Authors: Nashef Ismail
Published: May 2024

Having detailed the characteristics of these three periods in the social history of “Arabic,” the Conclusion analyzes the general organizing narrative of “Arabic.” We examine the analytical threads that tie the periods together, with their respective portraits of “Arabic.” Our objective is not only to extract the narrative of the relations of the Palestinians in Israel with the Zionist state and regime through the perspective offered by “Arabic.” It is to do so without detracting from the importance of this historical narrative. Accordingly, we will also try to read and write through it the possibilities it offers for transforming the structural quandary of “Arabic.” This quandary of colonizer and colonized, of the excessive and compulsive agency modes, of an irresoluble contradiction in the ownership of the means of producing the collective, is the organizing core of the historical narrative.
The Experience of Form: Joyce and After
Authors: Attridge Derek
Published: May 2024

The introduction charts the increasing attention to literary form in recent decades and stresses the importance of readers’ experiences, including the experience of form, in understanding literature’s impact on the world. The role of singularity and inventiveness in those experiences is discussed, and attention is given to the issue of craft in relation to art. James Joyce’s innovations, and those of later Irish writers in Joyce’s wake, are summarised. Consideration is given to innovative form in a global context, including issues of translation, and to the notion of ‘late modernism’. Finally, the centrality of the question of reading to all the chapters of this book is stressed.
Modernist Style in the Making: Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Authors: Attridge Derek
Published: May 2024

Joyce’s innovations in literary form began in his first two novels, Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. As an example of the stylistic achievement of the former, this chapter analyses the story ‘Eveline’, showing that even in an apparently plain story Joyce is doing more than referring to an imagined world. In A Portrait of the Artist, he invents a radically new technique that unmoors the language from any intentional source. Where Dubliners offers readers the experience of relishing the precision of Joyce’s words in representing the thoughts and feelings of his characters, A Portrait of the Artist, as well as offering a vivid picture of an individual consciousness, takes the reader on a journey through modes of writing in the evocation of that consciousness.
Agency
Authors: Zaharijevic Adriana
Published: May 2024

The chapter focuses on what it means to act. In various places, Butler claims that performativity is an account of agency. Agency, as this chapter endeavours to explain, is a mode of remaking the social reality in which we live as embodied beings. In that sense, it needs to be understood as Butler’s political commitment to social transformation. However, agency is not only employed to transformative ends. It belongs to acting itself, it is part of our performative becoming in the world, it constitutes us into subjects. The chapter therefore introduces a full-fledged understanding of performativity as citationality, and presents the notion of constrained and conditioned agency, offering Butler’s peculiar theory of the subject. It unpacks the transformative aspects of agency, attempting to define who is the agent of social transformation. The last part of this discussion involves various subjects – from drag queens, Antigone, to the precarious assembled to performatively protest their disposability. It also prefigures the notion of the social, which is important for subsequent chapters.
