This type of Hamza also popular as “Hamza-ul-Salb” & “Hamza-ul-Nafi” among the Arab Linguists is one of the Wonders of the Arabic Language. Despite that the particles of Negation e.g. (ما) and (لا) are very clearly used in Arabic Language to make a Negative Sentence, but the Arab Linguists used another style – which is very simple and effective in its own self – by introducing Hamza on a verb which makes its meaning opposite to the original meaning of the trilateral verb (i.e. before entering the Hamza).Thus Hamza-ul-Izala is the Hamza that enters on some verbs in Arabic Language & makes its meaning opposite to the original meaning of the verb. It has many examples, including:(قَسَطَ): to act unjustly(أَقْسَطَ): to act justly, in fairness, equitably(مُقْسِط): just, fair(شكا) : to complain of something(أشكا): to resolve one’s complaint(عقل): to hobble the camel with the عقال, to intern, confine(أعقل): to free the camel from عقال(عجم): to be obscure, incomprehensible, unintelligent, to speakincorrect Arabic(أعجم): to make the speech clear, remove the imbiguity(مُعْجَم) Dictionary, Lexicon

Most of the dairy cows often have immune suppression during calving time and leads several metabolic disorders and manifesting of poorly functioning immune system. Hence, the interaction between the immune system and metabolism of dairy cows is core important to read in terms of benefit to dairy industries. In this, the transition of dry period to lactation period is at most risk periods for the dairy cow’s body mechanism and by this time, there are several changes occur in the protein level. There have been several studies focused on casein protein and its functions in the lactation mechanism in mammary glands. But there are few other proteins, which are contributing directly or indirectly in the lactation process, and it is compulsory to understand those contributions up to its structural level. In dairy cows, the Interactions between the L-selectin and Glycam1 is core important protein -protein interactions, but the information’s on these systems are lacking. This study aims to provide the mechanical insights of L-selectin binding over the Glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion molecule 1 (Glycam1) in Bos taurus. Through this work, we have represented the structural details of Glycam1 and L-selectin along with their interactions is visualized.

Micropropagation is the true-to-type propagation of a selected genotype using in vitro culture techniques. Curcuma karnatakensis is a small herb endemic to Karnataka and belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. C. karnatakensis, with its small distribution area in Karnataka, is prone to any kind of threat that could lead to species extinction, hence tissue culture technique is proposed as a conservation measure for rapid propagation and ex situ conservation. An attempt was made to grow C. karnatakensis on MS culture with different growth regulators like benzyl adenine, kinetin, indole butyric acid and naphthalene acetic acid at different concentrations (1,2,3,4,5 μg mL-1) and (0.5,1,1.5 µg mL-1) and in different proportion using rhizome sprouts as ex- plant. The best result was obtained in benzyl adenine and indole butyric acid at ratio 4:1 and in kinetin and indole butyric acid at ratio 3:1. The secondary metabolites and antimicrobial activity from micro propagated plant was compared with naturally grown plant.
Green Finance: A Key to Fight with Climate Change

Climate change (CC) is a burning issue in the contemporary situation. All nations should be concerned about this, and it must be addressed right away. Additionally, greater funding is required to discourse this issue. Green finance becomes a global issue in sustainable economic and financial growth. Green finance refers to the financial arrangements that are specifically used to fund ecologically viable plans or projects that incorporate the features of climate change. Member nations of the Kyoto Protocol, which was endorsed on December 11, 1997, gave it a top priority. These initiatives fall under the categories of "green financing," "waste processing and recycling," "biodiversity protection," "climate change adaptation," etc. In addition to helping India and poor nations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), green financing may help them raise money to fulfill their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) obligations under the Paris Agreement. Greening the industry through finance will lead to eco-sound results, ultimately leading to the green growth of the nations. Different countries can adopt green financing in a variety of methods and with varying legislation. In India, CSR was deemed necessary for NBFCs and SCBs by 2007. NAPCC was established in 2008 to adopt and mitigate the climate change policy. In the Union Budget of 2022, Finance Minister has announced the issuance of sovereign green bonds during the upcoming fiscal year. SGBs could potentially mobilize additional financial resources to support India's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. The issuance of sovereign green bonds is a baby step toward directing private capital flows toward environmentally beneficial public projects. Other government programs aimed at preventing climate change and developing a low-carbon economy may receive funding from green financing.

Wireless communication inculcates transfer of information not having any physical connection among two or more points. The significant operation of a sensor network becomes collecting and forwarding data to destiny. It is highly crucial to have an awareness regarding the place of collected data. This data is acquired by leveraging localization method in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Localization is a way of determining the sensor nodes (SNs) location. Localization of SNs turns out to be an exciting research area, and several studies were performed till now. It is very favourable to model scalable, effectual, and low-cost localization systems for WSNs. This study develops a Leopard optimization based Node Localization Technique for Wireless Communication (LONLT-WC). The goal of the LONLT-WC model is to recognize the location of the nodes involved in the network. The LONLT-WC model involves the design of snow leopard optimization (SLO) algorithm, inspired from the characteristics of snow leopards. The presented LONLT-WC approach computes the unidentified location of the nodes utilizing anchor nodes in the network with the accomplishment of least error rate. The experimental analysis of the LONLT-WC model involves a series of simulations and the results highlighted the betterment of the presented technique.
Vertigo
Authors: Cavalletti Andrea , Heller-Roazen Daniel
Published: September 2022

Everyone knows what acrophobia is, and many suffer from it. Before Freud, the so-called “sciences of the mind” reserved a place of honor for vertigo in the domain of mental pathologies, attributing to it that destabilizing and intoxicating element—both attractive and repulsive—without which consciousness itself was inconceivable. Some went so far as to induce it in patients via the use of threatening rotational therapies. In a less cruel, albeit no less radical way, vertigo also staked its claim in the domain of philosophy over the course of the last two centuries. If Montaigne and Pascal could still consider it a perturbation of reason and a trick of the imagination that had to be subdued, subsequent thinkers stopped considering it an imaginative instability to be overcome in order to recognize it as part of reason’s workings: identity manifests itself as tottering, kinetic and, indeed, vertiginous. The critique of the paradigm of consciousness and of its presumed stability proceeds, with varying approaches and outcomes, via the thought of Husserl and Heidegger, as well as Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Jankélévitch, and Robert Klein. This book sets their theoretical articulations side by side with Hitchcock’s famous thriller Vertigo, a drama of identity and its abysses, whose contemplative rhythm was admired by Truffaut. The brilliant, never before attempted combination of a dolly and a zoom, which re-creates the effect of falling, describes that double movement of “pushing away and bringing closer” that is the habitual condition of the subject and of intersubjectivity.
Habit, Mask
Authors: Cavalletti Andrea
Published: September 2022

The third chapter returns to the problem of “habitus,” that is, of the subjective identity founded on possession (habeo, having) in relation to vertigo. Roman Ingarden highlighted the paradox of the Husserlian concept of habitus. Ingarden’s interpretation is discussed along with those of Gerhard Funke, Eugen Fink and, finally, Klein himself. The question of technique and fiction begins to be posed as an overcoming of this paradox.
Let the Dead Bury the Dead: Race, Gender, and Class Composition in the U.S. after 1965
Authors: Kreiner Tim
Published: September 2022

In this essay, Tim Kreiner argues that the earliest examples of radical movements organized around race and class were motivated by the exclusions that a worker-focused, point-of-production standpoint demanded. In this sense, identity politics was a direct response to false universalism, which was itself a form of identity politics. The transformation of these early groups from radical to centrist, from opponents to enforcers of the status quo, took place because of ongoing organizational challenges and debates. As Kreiner demonstrates, understanding this complex history enables today’s socialists, communists, and revolutionaries to recognize how radical forms of identity politics would enrich anticapitalist politics rather than make peace with the current political economic order.
(Un)making Value: Reading Social Reproduction through the Question of Totality
Authors: Vishmidt Marina , Sutherland Zoe
Published: September 2022

In this chapter, Marina Vishmidt and Zoe Sutherland argue that the concept of totality can intervene in long-standing debates in and around Marxist feminism, which are troubled by conflicts over universality and particularism, inclusion and exclusion. Attending not only to scholarly articulations of materialist feminism and intersectionality, Vishmidt and Sutherland turn to recent feminist actions, including the International Women’s Strike, the Polish strike against abortion, and the Argentinian Ni Una Menos strike against male violence, to argue for an approach to feminist theorizing and organizing that mobilizes already-existing grassroots movements without subsuming their diverse demands under a falsely universal category of “woman.”
On Artistic Autonomy as a Bourgeois Fetish
Authors: Brouillette Sarah , Clover Joshua
Published: September 2022

This contribution from Sarah Brouillette and Joshua Clover demonstrates how the separation of class from identity has become foundational to a particular mode of aesthetic theory, one that insists on the autonomy of the work of art. These theorists believe not only that can the work of art be separated from the social whole in which it was created but also that this very separation is source of art’s political force. Brouillette and Clover argue, instead, that capitalist value flows through art and culture in a dynamic way. This totalizing standpoint stresses the historical trajectory of capitalism’s development, de-development, eclipse, and the shifting forms of cultural expression that emerge and decline alongside it.
Forging the Chain
Authors: Heslop Kate
Published: September 2022

Chapter 2 assesses and rejects previous claims that Ynglingatal is a genealogical poem concerned to secure agnatic inheritance of royal office in a context of sacral kingship. Nor does it satirize its kings, as has recently been suggested, but rather presents them as victims of fate or enemy action. Genealogical organization in premodern Scandinavian literature is instead characteristic of Christian historiography in the medium of writing, while early skaldic poetry and runic epigraphy are characterized by broad but shallow kin networks, rarely reaching deeper into the past than the extent of communicative memory. An exception is kviðuháttr poetry indebted to historiographic writings, such as Nóregs konungatal and Sturla Þórðarson’s Hákonarkviða, where genealogy demonstrates how God’s plan plays out in the carnal engendering of lines of succession. The ordering and contents of the Flateyjarbók manuscript, which transmits Nóregs konungatal, display this logic particularly clearly.
The Viking Eye
Authors: Heslop Kate
Published: September 2022

Skaldic picture poems reveal contemporary practices of visual interpretation: a ‘Viking eye.’ A comparison with antique ekphrastic practice demonstrates the importance in these poems of vividness, emotional impact, and the ambivalence of the visual medium. Puzzle pictures, typical of decorative art in the Viking Age and before, are the picture poems’ material counterpart: both make a multisensorial appeal to both vision and touch, foreground the moment of cognitive breakthrough (indexed by the keyword kenna, ‘recognize’), and induce an undecidable oscillation between different interpretations. In medieval saga anecdotes skaldic ekphrasis is presented in the context of poetry competitions involving the production of multiple interpretations of a single visual source. Here ekphrastic vividness makes audiences into eyewitnesses, rapt with the story’s emotion, while the skald’s interpretive tour de force opens a productive gap between conventional visual motifs and poetic narrative. The ability to optically, haptically and, cognitively ‘grasp’ highly worked, playfully ambiguous objects was a valued part of Viking Age courtly sociability.
Stone—Stanza—Memory
Authors: Heslop Kate
Published: September 2022

This short afterword to Part 1 focuses on the stanza of poetry that forms part of the Rök inscription. In an early form of kviðuháttr, it probably refers to the statue of Theoderic the Great at Aachen. A comparison of the pragmatics of the Rök monument with Ynglingatal shows that both inaugurate new traditions of memorialization, likely influenced by the Christian polity of Francia. The Rök stanza and Ynglingatal couple the new memorial technologies of syllable-counting meter and quatrain organization with a speaking position that claims to mediate memories of the past in an authored, fixed text attached to the name of a patron. This conjunction is the historical origin of the figure of the skald.
Guides to the Eucharist in Medieval Egypt
Authors: Mikhail Arsenius , ibn Sabba' Yūhanna , ibn Kabar Abū al-Barakat , Gabriel V of Alexandria
Published: September 2022

The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries witnessed a rising interest in Arabic texts describing and explaining the rituals of the Coptic Church of Egypt. This book provides readers with an English translation of excerpts of three key texts on the Coptic eucharistic liturgy, by the authors Abū al-Barakāt ibn Kabar, Yūḥannā ibn Sabbā‘, and Pope Gabriel V from this period. Readers will find in this volume an introduction to the works, their authors, and the Coptic liturgy generally, as well as helpful notes throughout explaining details of Coptic liturgical practice. This volume provides a useful and needed introduction to these important Christian Arabic texts from the Coptic Christian heritage and to the worship tradition of Egypt’s Coptic Christians. It also serves as an interesting point of comparison to other liturgical commentaries produced elsewhere in the medieval Christian world presented here for the first time in English translation.
The Precious Jewel on the Ecclesiastical Sciences
Authors: Sabbā Yūḥannā ibn Abī Zakariyyā ibn
Published: September 2022

Ibn Sabbā‘’s comprehensive work on ecclesiastical subjects, The Precious Jewel, covers the eucharistic service over several chapters, digressing in the middle to describe the rite of consecration of the patriarch. Ibn Sabbā‘’s style is unique in adopting a consistent philosophy of ritual interpretation. Influenced in particular by the Greek writings of Ps.-Dionysius, Ibn Sabbā‘ goes to great lengths to demonstrate how liturgical worship here on earth mimics the hosts of angels in heaven. The result is a vision of liturgy particularly interested in proper hierarchy and acceptable etiquette among the clergy participating in this well-ordered earthly vision of heaven.
Introduction
Authors: Wang Orrin N. C.
Published: September 2022

An introduction to how the concept of techno-magism argues for an approach to mediation based more on the aporias of figure than the dialectic. Noting a lacuna in John Guillory’s argument about mediation and media, the book sees how both ideas can benefit from a more robust confrontation with, or recovery of, the arguments of deconstruction—an unavoidable notion for anyone trying to think the works of Romanticism and media studies together. That said, the theoretical probings in Techno-Romanticism do bear the historical moment of their writing, the second decade of this millennium, where so much of thought and planetary existence labors under the latest phase of late capitalism, oligarchic capital. The Romantic engagement with media explored here is thus not simply relegated to various mediums of the Romantic era but also involves other media technology of the twentieth and twenty-first century, an anachronistic if not presentist dynamic illuminated by William Benjamin’s notion of the constellation, one assumption underlying a viewing of James Whale’s 1931 film Frankenstein that also explains the techno-magistic idea of the cut deployed in this book.
Two Pipers and the Cliché of Romanticism
Authors: Wang Orrin N. C.
Published: September 2022

This essay links the troping of medium reflexivity in Blake and Keats to a problem of taste—the cliché—especially registered in Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” a quandary that both threatens and defines the poetic and critical writing coming in that poem’s wake. Employing but also countering recent theories of kitsch, this explanation of the cliché reasserts Baudelaire’s sense of poetry as a forceful register of capitalistic life in and beyond the nineteenth century. The Romantic cliché converges with Sianne Ngai’s formulation of the gimmick as a crucial diagnostic of the market realm, though its energies also point toward a dimension of language and techné by which the cliché cannot simply be historicized but must also be considered history’s unreliable basis. Far from disabling, this predicament sheds light on such persistent categories as poetic style and critical thought that inform today’s cultural terrain, one marked by the corrosive effects of oligarchic capital and the anthropocene.
After Life
Authors: Wang Orrin N. C.
Published: September 2022

This essay defamiliarizes the idea that Byron’s closet drama, Manfred, epitomizes Romantic solipsism by associating it with theories of the Umwelt developed by the twentieth-century biologist Jacob von Uexküll. Through the Umwelt the mental theater of Manfred becomes a film experience that dislodges human being from its hierarchical position as the phenomenal apex of creaturely existence. Yet Byron’s work and its own afterlife also anticipate the post-human as a terrain whose meanings are, if not completely corralled, magnetized around a return to the problem of the human, as well as, the question of capital. The post-human is not a transcendence of the incommensurate, something the relationship of Manfred to Hamlet also says about the techno-magistic, catachrestic nature of historical difference and identity.
Play Time
Authors: Wang Orrin N. C.
Published: September 2022

A comparison of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, Canto III of Byron’s Don Juan, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein reveals the particular playtime of modernity, the Romantic chronotope of the non-sovereign, the problematic of a heterotopic time of theater in whose wake we still inhabit. In this comparison unsupervised play is realized as a rebellious mimesis, alarming in the daemonic youth in Austen and embraced, though also complicated by commodification, in the acting-out of revolution by the youth in Byron; and then as a cathected form of screen viewing in Mary Shelley. In Shelley the creature’s viewing of the De Laceys upends the social risks and attractions mimesis carries in Austen and Byron, providing a riposte to one belief in the New Materialism that we can do away with the subject-object divide, insofar as that divide is the primal cut of difference, a structural incommensurability from which any contemporary politics or materialism comes.
Chthonic Michael
Authors: Wang Orrin N. C.
Published: September 2022

Land art like Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty asserts an auto-chthonic existence whereby sexual difference is erased and beings come from an earth that is one, never two. Land art also asks to be photographed, creating an archive of images that secures a totalizing identity out of such photography, much like the structuralism theorized by Lévi-Strauss promised, and arguments for big data in the humanities claim to realize. Wordsworth’s poem, Michael, contains a ruined sheepfold that like the auto-chthonic character of land art gestures toward a unitary sense of being unriven by sexual difference as the contract of patriarchal entailment while also functioning as a cutting wound that testifies to that contract’s failure. The poem also images the sheepfold not through a digital archiving but as a film close-up, where the image contains the whole of its viewing encounter. Wordsworth’s sheepfold is the split between nature and culture that resists Lévi-Strauss’s wish to make transparent the unconscious deposit of memory and difference in Freud; it is also the fissure that belies contemporary triumphalist arguments for big data in the humanities.
Dream Animals
Authors: Wang Orrin N. C.
Published: September 2022

The reframing of the painting The Bard by John Martin on Norton book covers focuses not on its historical message but on a Romanticism defined by the individuated figure of the Bard as poet. This Romantic stress on the single, phenomenal body is actually in tension with a Romantic desire to understand forces and relations beyond the one body, to confront the necessity of abstraction. Kant and Hegel elaborate upon that necessity through a vocabulary of animals and dream. Keats’s Fall of Hyperion makes its narrative out of this topos, now understood through the idea of poetry as the medium and mediation of dream. Keats not only anticipates the debate between Adorno and Benjamin that allows readers to abstract from the Fall history’s nightmare; he also goes further and shows how historicism is unavoidably hindered by the cut of mediation as a medium. Blake’s version of The Bard also emphasizes this cut, though as the sign of a social antagonism that, far from debilitating, generates the political.
A True American
Authors: Katz Wendy Jean
Published: September 2022

This book argues that nativism, the hostility especially to Catholic immigrants that led to the organization of political parties like the Know-Nothings, affected the meaning of nineteenth-century American art in ways that have gone unrecognized. In an era of industrialization, nativism’s erection of barriers to immigration appealed to artisans, a category that included most male artists at some stage in their career. But as importantly, its patriotic message about the nature of the American republic also overlapped with widely shared convictions about the necessity of democratic reform. Movements directed toward improving the human condition, including antislavery and temperance, often consigned Catholicism to a repressive past, not the republican American future. To demonstrate the impact of this political effort by humanitarian reformers and nativists to define a Protestant character for the country, the book tracks the work and practice of artist William Walcutt. This book examines him as a case study of an artist whose economic and personal ties to artisanal print culture and cultural nationalists ensured that he was surrounded by and contributed to anti-Catholic publications and organizations. Walcutt was not anti-immigrant himself, nor a member of a nativist party, but his kin, friends, and patrons publicly expressed warnings about Catholic and foreign political influence. And that has implications for better-known nineteenth-century historical and narrative art. Precisely because Walcutt’s profile and milieu was so typical for artists in this period, this book is able to demonstrate how central this supposedly fringe movement was to viewers and makers of American art.
A Native-Born Artist
Authors: Katz Wendy Jean
Published: September 2022

An overview of Walcutt’s biography in both Columbus, Ohio, and New York City identifies what Walcutt and the men who joined the Order of United Americans, the predecessor to the American Republican or Know-Nothing party, had in common: a lineage that stretched to the Mayflower, an artisanal upbringing, and a family commitment to Protestant reforms. Walcutt had lifelong ties to illustrators, engravers, die cutters, inventors, and skilled mechanics who, under pressure from both industrialization and competition from immigrants, joined brotherhoods like the Odd Fellows and the nativist fraternal order the United American Mechanics. America’s Own, a newspaper that represented the latter, promoted Walcutt and deeply religious artists like Rembrandt Lockwood and Johannes Oertel. Walcutt himself married into a family headed by minister Samuel D. Burchard, who, like many Protestant reformers, combined antislavery and temperance views with anti-Romanism.
A Cooperative Model for Art
Authors: Katz Wendy Jean
Published: September 2022

This chapter argues that Walcutt’s active involvement in founding artists’ organizations along a cooperative or joint-stock model reflects the values of the same fraternal, artisan culture that other benevolent societies also tried to harness. Both groups that Walcutt founded in New York, the American Artists Association and the New York Sketch Club, offered members social benefits and trade protections. Though these were not political societies, in the very process of resisting or trying to establish alternatives to the existing and increasingly corporate art market, artists like Walcutt and Thomas D. Jones aligned themselves with those who believed that the white Protestant working class would create an egalitarian democracy. The American Artists Association had the promotion of truly American art as their goal, just as nativists promoted True Americanism in political life. And though Sketch Club members included Irish nationalists and German emigrés, their hostility to a Pope who opposed democratic change in Europe meant they found common ground with members who envisioned a nation free from the Pope’s political influence.
Native Americans and the West
Authors: Katz Wendy Jean
Published: September 2022

Walcutt’s pictures of the “West” heroized pioneers, whether legendary but real ones like Simon Kenton, or fictional ones like James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking. His images appeared in the Know-Nothing Republic, in the Odd Fellows’ annual gift book, in illustrations for a James Rockwood Orton novel, and he joined artists like Tompkins H. Matteson in illustrating Cooper’s turkey shoot. In constructing his natural nobleman, a man shaped by western nature and who because of that is kin to his rivals, American Indians, Walcutt drew on working-class and French Realist consciousness of the value of the ordinary man, even copying a Jean-Francois Millet painting that put an American into the role of folk hero and revolutionary Ivan Mazeppa. But his pictures also corresponded to nativist sympathy for policies of assimilating their fellow native-born Americans and their simultaneous effort to sideline slavery as a threat to the Union.
More Lasting Monuments
Authors: Katz Wendy Jean
Published: September 2022

The artwork that made Walcutt nationally known in his own day was his marble monument to War of 1812 hero Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, in Cleveland, Ohio. It demonstrates how Walcutt’s lively, narrative, neoclassical style, first visible in his proposal for a monument in New York to George Washington, drew on rhetoric about Anglo-American greatness by historian George Bancroft, among others. Such rhetoric linking English and American political traditions often served as the ground for excluding people either foreign to, or inferior to, Protestant Anglo-Saxons. Walcutt’s public statue was accordingly able to win over Ohio’s fusion of Young America Democrats, antislavery Know-Nothings, and Republicans on the eve of the Civil War. Walcutt was aided in fending off criticism by humorist Artemus Ward, writing at the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and an elite Cleveland Sketch Club.
“What Hinders?”
Authors: Davidson Christina C.
Published: September 2022

This chapter explores the expansionist goals and actions of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, the first independent black Protestant denomination in the United States, after the American Civil War (1861–1865). Aiming to convert newly freed slaves, AME leaders sent missionaries to the U.S. South, which enabled the denomination to grow throughout the late 1860s and 1870s. This expansion turned leaders’ attention toward the foreign missionary field. While scholars have studied the AME Church’s missions in Africa, this chapter analyzes the impetuses and development of the denomination’s missions on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. AME expansionist discourse during Reconstruction aligned with U.S. imperialist action in the Caribbean, including the Dominican Republic, and obfuscated other impetuses for AME missionary work on Hispaniola, namely earlier nineteenth-century Afro-diasporic connections forged through emigration and cooperation between African Americans and Haitians.
James Redpath, Rebel Sympathizer
Authors: Glickman Lawrence B.
Published: September 2022

This chapter examines the postbellum career of James Redpath, the abolitionist and radical, and, in particular, his improbable and surprising friendship and collaboration with Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy. Redpath remained in most ways a political and cultural radical and, in the early 1880s, edited a magazine whose chief focus was a critique of British imperialism. He was deeply involved in the trans-Atlantic anti-imperialist campaign for Irish freedom, and he opposed stereotypes of the Irish and Irish Americans in Anglo-American popular culture. Yet he came to accept and defend Davis’s defense of the Confederacy and backed away from his firm commitment to African American Civil Rights. Redpath still spoke in defense of the weak, including Indians and Egyptians fighting against British rule, but showed more sympathy for southern whites than African Americans, and helped pave the way for the dangerous myth of sectional reconciliation.
“Our God-Given Mission”
Authors: Elliott Mark
Published: September 2022

This chapter examines a brand of nationalism that emerged in the Civil War and afterward that associated the national mission with humanitarianism. Grounded in an understanding of the Union's victory as a moral triumph over illiberal forces of slavery and tyranny, humanitarian nationalism reinvigorated American exceptionalism and encouraged international engagement. Patriotic presumptions of American benevolence and altruism fueled public support for both diplomatic and military intervention into overseas humanitarian crises and excused imperialistic annexations. This thesis is illustrated through four key figures from Reconstruction who became actively involved in international humanitarian causes of the 1890s: Oliver O. Howard, Julia Ward Howe, Lyman Abbott, and Clara Barton.
From Life to Survival
Authors: Trumbull Robert
Published: September 2022

The book shows that Jacques Derrida’s deep engagement with Freud across the full trajectory of his work, and in particular his engagement with Freud’s notion of life and death drives, supplies the key way into Derrida’s rethinking of life as life death and, in turn, survival in deconstruction. In this way, it shows that Derridean deconstruction speaks to resolutely material issues and argues for its continued relevance in contemporary Continental philosophy. Further, the book demonstrates the decisive consequences of Derrida’s notion of life death and ultimately survival and autoimmunity for our understanding of deconstruction’s ethics and politics. The recasting of life as survival legible in Derrida’s dealings with Freud is shown to bear directly on the question of normativity in deconstruction and of its ethical and political purchase. Specifically, the book elaborates how the logic of survival enables deconstructive critique to destabilize and put into question, to “shake up,” certain inherited understandings of life and death, and the political, understood as the theological-political. Examining Derrida’s crucial treatment of sovereignty and the death penalty in his late seminars, the book demonstrates how the thought of survival or living on makes possible a critique of the uncritical “phantasm” of a form of life beyond mortal finitude, what it calls superlife. At stake in this move is equally a challenge to our inherited concept of the human and human law, and thus the book highlights deconstruction’s contribution to contemporary Continental thought in its attempt to go beyond humanism.
From Grammatology to Life Death
Authors: Trumbull Robert
Published: September 2022

Chapter 1 elaborates the powerful, yet frequently overlooked thinking of life as “an economy of death” emerging out of Derrida’s early work from 1967–68. It shows that, already at this early stage, deconstruction offers a powerful thinking not just of the structure of all materiality in the form of the trace, but of the basic structure of the living, a thought that follows directly from the seminal Derridean notion of arche-writing. This demonstration draws on Derrida’s engagement with Husserl on temporalization and the conception of arche-writing offered in Of Grammatology, but the chapter’s distinctive contribution lies in showing how Derrida’s early treatment of Freud on the memory trace and pathbreaking in the crucial text “Freud and the Scene of Writing” allows us to understand this thinking of an economy of death in terms of a radical conception of finitude and life death.
The Persistence of War through Migration
Authors: Marasigan Cynthia
Published: September 2022

The essay casts a critical light on the afterlives of empire, focusing on the constitutive role of war in Filipinx movement and migration across the US empire. Specifically, it delineates what is termed as “the profound persistence of the Philippine-American War,” a war that continues to reverberate, giving rise to both intra-imperial dynamics and dynamics between colonized subjects.
“Genocide” and the Poetics of Alter-Being in the Obsolescence of the “Filipino American”
Authors: Rodríguez Dylan
Published: September 2022

This essay expands the ground from which to engage empire in direct consideration of genocide, scrutinizing how the term is understood via two hegemonic regimes—legal and academic. It argues for a specific rethinking of genocide as in excess of these regimes, while conceptualizing it as an incomplete signification of the conditions of empire.
The Limits of “Immigration” Frameworks: Centering Empire in Analyzing Migration and the Diaspora
Authors: Taggueg Roy B. , Rodriguez Robyn Magalit
Published: September 2022

This essay pays attention to the importance of centering empire in the narration of labor mobilities, as opposed to depicting such histories through conventional accounts of unidirectional immigration flows and patterns. By doing so, it throws into sharp relief the limits of linear immigration models as organizing frameworks of labor analysis because of the ways in which they valorize the US as a nation of immigrants while obscuring its histories of imperialism
Including the Excluded: The “Chinese” in the Philippines and the Study of “Migration” in Filipinx American Studies
Authors: Chu Richard T.
Published: September 2022

This essay pivots the spatial breadth and depth of Filipinx American history into new directions by considering the histories of migration of Chinese into the Philippines and the consequences of anti-Chinese exclusions in the US, thereby broadening and complicating what could be a narrow account of Filipinx migration to the United States. It argues that a focus on ethnic or racial groups within and outside of the US, and more broadly, on the intersections of “migration” and “race,” puts into comparative clarity the differential racializations of Chinese and Filipinx labor.
Datíng as Affect in Filipinx Migration
Authors: Isaac Allan Punzalan
Published: September 2022

This essay considers “dating” (pronounced as “dah-teeng” and translated from Tagalog into English as a kind of force or impression) as a type of affect that constitutes a potentially generative site to explore the workings and circulation of affect on a global scale. Building on scholarship on the affective dimensions of Filipinx labor migration and, specifically, on care and carework, it poses the question of what it would mean to shift our focus from “return” to “arrival”—in the author’s words, to bend the time and space of the present—as a means to recover what might have been lost during movement or to find pleasure in fantasizing about alternative possibilities.
Gender: A Transpacific Feminist Approach to Filipinx Studies
Authors: Cruz Denise
Published: September 2022

This essay takes a self-reflexive and time/space expansive approach to gender, interrogating how it has been foundational to the project of Filipinx American studies. Providing a critical survey of scholarship and how various interlocutors in the field have engaged with gender at different historical moments, it utilizes a transpacific analytical lens to further nuance our understanding of gender across different geographical sites and circulatory configurations.
The Contingencies of Kasarian
Authors: Diaz Robert
Published: September 2022

This essay provides a diasporic optic to examine the ways gender/sexuality and other markers of social identities have been configured and “re-scripted” in the Filipinx diaspora. Looking specifically at mass media representations and key works of several Filipinx American studies scholars, it offers a more generative and always contingent process of reading and recognizing gender/sexuality among Filipinx communities within shifting time/space contexts.
Filipinx Americans and Higher Education
Authors: Maramba Dina C.
Published: September 2022

Drawing on the experiences of a student affairs practitioner and an education scholar and professor, this essay reflects on the vocabularies used by educational institutions—themselves critical sites of knowledge production within schools—to categorize social identities and benchmarks of success for their students and faculty. But, to underscore and simultaneously unsettle claims regarding Filipinx American invisibility and nonrecognition, otherwise equally productive of misperception and ignorance, it offers “counternarratives” of group social identification that may effectively prove disruptive to educational institutions’ hegemonic powers.
Third World Studies and the Living Archive of US-Based Filipinx Activism
Authors: Schulze-Oechtering Michael
Published: September 2022

Based on a US- Filipinx radical tradition that utilizes the “living archives” of intergenerational cultures of opposition dubbed as “Manong Knowledge” (partly translated as the “wisdom of elders”), this essay postulates what the pursuit of justice means in and for Filipinx American studies. It theorizes the manners by which grassroots activism and social critique are indelibly mapped onto the sustained histories of labor and anti-gentrification movements organized by Filipinx and their allies. As such, it is an eloquent testimony of the transpacific orientations of the field’s subjects of study.
Filipinx American Activism—and Why I Once Loved Manny Pacquiao
Authors: Juan Karín Aguilar-San
Published: September 2022

This essay focuses on specific examples of activist work, including union activism and Manny Pacquiao’s charity work, to trouble taken-for-granted notions of activisms that do not address questions regarding homophobic masculinities, state-sponsored violence, and global labor exploitation.
Filipinxness: An Epochal Perspective
Authors: Rodriguez Anthony Bayani
Published: September 2022

This essay provides a genealogy of “Filipino” that links back to the period of Spanish colonialism, through the period of US colonial rule, and up to the early 21st century. Advancing a decolonial/epochal conceptualization of Filipinxness, it directs its attention to the various permutations of “Filipino,” including liberal multiculturalist formulations that conform with Western liberal notions of humanity and alternative formations that unmoor it from notions of ethnic belonging.
Why I Don’t (Really) Consider Myself a Filipinx: Complicating “Filipinxness” from a Katutubo Intervention
Authors: Ruanto-Ramirez J. A.
Published: September 2022

This essay problematizes the notion of Filipinxness through a consideration of indigeneity and the experiences of Indigenous communities. To counteract the violence that inheres in the category “Filipino,” it advances the notion of katutubo as a critical lens that serves to denaturalize and de-homogenize “Filipino.”
