Camboya 2005: acoso a la oposición
Authors: Marston John
Published: May 2023

El año estuvo marcado por la remoción de la inmunidad parlamentaria con que contaban Sam Rainsy y otros dos miembros de su partido de oposición, y por la condena en ausencia de Sam Rainsy a 18 meses de prisión por el delito de difamación. Esto ocurrió aproximadamente al mismo tiempo que se arrestaba a varias personas, entre ellas algunos activistas de derechos humanos, periodistas y líderes sindicales. En términos generales, durante el año la democracia multipartidista de Camboya sufrió un revés significativo. A pesar de que el primer ministro Hun Sen recalcó que sólo se trataba del arresto de ciertos individuos y no de una supresión de partidos, sindicatos u organizaciones no gubernamentales,¹ fue evidente que como resultado de estas acciones se redujo la posibilidad de protestar y debatir públicamente y se entendió que no serían tolerados quienes criticaran con energía al régimen. La nueva y drástica represión corresponde a un patrón que se ha aplicado al menos desde mediados de 2004, cuando se constituyó un nuevo gobierno tras un largo periodo de estancamiento de los tres partidos dominantes. Durante ese lapso el Partido de Sam Rainsy (PSR) presionó especialmente para destituir de su cargo al primer ministro Hun Sen, y tuvo cierto éxito porque aprovechó las divisiones del dominante Partido Popular Camboyano (PPC). La represión que se desencadenó durante el año puede ser vista como la mayor consolidación de poder que anheló Hun Sen a lo largo de su carrera y como el mantenimiento de la posición de fuerza de este personaje, no solamente en relación con la oposición, sino con su propio partido y con los actores internacionales. Desde otra perspectiva podría considerarse un mecanismo de defensa que mostró que las maquinaciones de la oposición realmente habían tocado fibras sensibles que debían abordarse. En realidad Hun Sen obró con cautela al ejecutar una medida tan delicada como un tratado fronterizo con Vietnam.
Hong Kong: adiós a la reforma política
Authors: Connelly Marisela
Published: May 2023

En el año 2005 Hong Kong se vio envuelto en la discusión del paquete de reforma política presentado por el Grupo de Trabajo de Reforma Constitucional y avalado por el gobierno central de Beijing. También se enfrentó a la renuncia de Tung Chee-hwa como jefe ejecutivo y a la elección de Donald Tsang como nuevo representante ejecutivo de la Región Administrativa Especial (RAE), cuyo periodo, de acuerdo con lo estipulado por el Comité Permanente de la Asamblea Nacional Popular, sería sólo de dos años, es decir, hasta 2007. Todo ello contribuyó a la efervescencia política, tendiente por un lado a la afirmación de los valores de la sociedad hongkonesa, y por el otro al reforzamiento de la posición del gobierno chino dentro de Hong Kong.

Gracias a los estrechos contactos entre el resto de China y Hong Kong, la economía siguió su ruta ascendente y mostró una sana recuperación. En el mes de octubre el gobierno central y el de la RAE firmaron los acuerdos de la tercera parte del Convenio de Asociación Económica Estrecha

Authors: Dočolomanský P. , Sitkey V. , Čičová I.
Published: May 2023

Aim

Benzaldehyde occurs in a number of plants, especially in the family Rosaceae and in particular in the genus Prunus. In nature, there are more than 100 genera and 3,000 species in the Rosaceae family. The objective of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of leaf essential oil of peach (Prunus persica L.) and cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus L.) as a new potential source of natural benzaldehyde.

Methods

The essential oil was prepared by hydrodistillation, and chemical constituents were determined by GC-FID, GC-MS and chromatographic profiles were compared with each other.

Results

The results show that essential oil obtained from peach and cherry laurel leaves appear to be a promising source of natural benzaldehyde. Under laboratory conditions the benzaldehyde content in peach and cherry laurel leaves reached 95.5% and 99.7%, respectively.

Conclusions

Laboratory and pilot experiments confirmed that by processing of 200–300 kg of green leaves of various species of the genus Prunus, especially peach and cherry laurel, 1 kg of benzaldehyde can be obtained.
A Comparative Energy and Exergy Analysis Between Organic Rankine Cycle and Kalina Cycle System 11 for the Waste Heat Recovery of a PEM Fuel Cell Power Station
Authors: Rezaee Vahid , Houshmand Arash
Published: May 2023

In this study, the performance analysis of waste heat recovery systems in a power generation system consisting of 13000 Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) in a stack has been investigated. Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and Kalina Cycle System 11 (KCS11) as bottoming cycles to convert generated waste heat of stack into electricity were compared with each other in a defined hybrid system. The improvement of system with an exact energy and exergy analysis after utilizing the waste heat in the hybrid system has been analyzed. Results show that the energy efficiency of combined system using Organic Rankine Cycle and Kalina Cycle System 11 increase by about 5% and 1.75% respectively. In addition, exergy analysis results indicate that exergy efficiency of combined system using Organic Rankine Cycle and Kalina Cycle System 11 increases by about 4% and 1.5% respectively. The total exergy destruction rate obtained for the hybrid power systems is 235.5 kW when ORC is used and 329.7 kW when KCS11 is used respectively. Results show that in presented systems ORC has higher energy and exergy efficiencies than KCS11 but different used working fluids and equipment of systems must also be considered from an economical point of view.

Discrimination of Focal and Non-Focal Epileptic Eeg Signals Using Different Types of Classifiers
Authors: Murariu Mădălina-Giorgiana , Tărniceriu Daniela
Published: May 2023

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures and has a high incidence rate. The aim of this research is to classify EEG signals as either focal and non-focal in order to identify the epileptogenic area of the brain, which can be surgically treated to manage epilepsy. In this paper, was proposed a classification method based on higher order spectra (HOS) parameters and four different classifiers: linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), k-Nearest neighbors (KNN), and Mahalanobis distance (MD). The method was evaluated using a public dataset that consists in EEG recordings from epileptic patients. The classifiers performances were evaluated and it was shown that KNN classifier achieves a maximum classification rate of 99.55%, sensitivity of 100%, and specificity of 99.09%. The data classification was performed with maximum values of 0.96 for F1-score, and 0.91 for both Kappa and Matthews Coefficient. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method to identify the type of EEG signals.

Published: May 2023

A compact dual-mode bandpass filter with independently tunable second passband is proposed based on modified V shaped resonators. By switching the pin diodes at each end of the studied resonators, the second passband is independently tuned without affecting the first passband. A prototype of the dual-mode bandpass filter with a dual-passband of 2.54 GHz and 3.36 GHz or a single passband of 2.54 GHz is designed and verified experimentally.
Getting engaged in cooperation: Design, distance, and distributed work
Authors:   , Pettersson Mårten
Published: May 2023

Cooperative work differs depending on contexts and tasks, whether co-located, synchronous, or distributed in time and space. New technology allows new opportunities to support cooperation. A central aspect of cooperation is the relation to individual work; when co-located, people enter and exit cooperation seamlessly. This dissertation explores how technology, situation, and context interplay in various forms of cooperation. It addresses two research questions: (1) How do people get engaged in cooperative work? and (2) How can engagement in distributed cooperative work be supported? The work focuses on ethnographic empirical studies that analyse the interaction between humans and technology across various domains. Workplace studies have been conducted in different fields. Emergency service work, truck driver's work, building maintenance workers, and visitor's technology use at a music festival. The workplace studies in the dissertation imply that field studies are conducted to document and analyse how people use technology and how this use takes place. Common to all studies is the work about activities distributed in time and space. These research findings inform the development of new perspectives, concepts, and design challenges for distributed collaboration. The dissertation discusses two primary ways to engage in cooperative work are identified: requesting and choosing to engage through shared materials and artefacts support awareness and enable cooperative work. The results identify four factors to facilitate engagement in remote cooperative environments: supporting requests and choices to engage, providing opportunities to use artefacts, promoting shareability, and incorporating awareness technology. The dissertation contributes new insights into the interplay between technology, situation, and context in cooperation. Providing design insights for distributed collaboration, and the exploration of design concepts and analysis models. The contributions emphasize the dynamic nature of collaboration and the importance of understanding the relationship between individual and cooperative work to support distributed and remote collaboration effectively.

Critical Race Composite Counter Storytelling as Appropriate Methodology to “Wrestle the White Beast”
Authors: Birk Manjeet
Published: May 2023

Being a Brown woman in academia remains a minority experience. Racialized students within the ivory tower consistently experience microaggressions and violence through institutionally biased university curricula, programs, and policies. Using personal storytelling and narrative to describe my experience of navigating academic dynamics in a public institution in Canada, this article seeks to demystify and dismantle the challenges of navigating graduate school as a woman of colour, specifically in relation to finding an appropriate methodology for my doctoral dissertation research. In this article I will unpack my use of critical race theory’s composite counter storytelling methodology. I look at my process for creating Beti, a composite counterstory of the ten racialized and Indigenous activists I interviewed, and some of the challenges and limitations I encountered in this process. This methodology seeks to improve access and inclusion for racialized students researching their own communities within academic institutions and beyond.
New Urbanism as a Remedy for Modernist Urban Renewal
Authors: Holmes Keith
Published: May 2023

Over the past twenty years, Regent Park, a neighborhood in Toronto, Ontario, has undergone the application of the Canadian planning profession’s leading practices and theories throughout its redevelopment. The project has firmly adopted the New Urbanist planning principles that have resulted in a starkly different neighborhood than what had existed before. As a result, it provides an excellent case study for how social housing has been shaped by the Modernist and New Urbanist planning movements. This paper argues that New Urbanism has emerged out of the need to solve the problems in social housing created by Modernist urban renewal. This will be supported by a brief history of Modernism and urban renewal’s roots, its effects on Regent Park, the neoliberal transition in social housing in Canada, and the New Urbanist application to Regent Park.
Men, Misfits, and Martyrs
Authors: Diamond Katherine
Published: May 2023

Homosexuality has historically been constructed as an issue within Ireland and the Irish diaspora for centuries. However, the academic investigation of homosexuality and, consequently, homophobia’s roles in Irish history have been sparsely studied. This essay seeks to examine homosexuality in the Irish diaspora. Specifically, it investigates how heterosexuality necessarily came to be closely associated with the growing Irish nationalist movement in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century England. Through the analysis of Oscar Wilde’s court cases as well as the impact of the publishing of Roger Casement’s personal diary entries, it is evident that homosexuality was constructed as a controversial issue in the Irish diaspora during times of instability in Ireland. Because homosexuality threatened the sanctity of Irish nationhood by existing outside of outlined social norms, instances of publicized homosexuality amid elite Irish men living within the Irish diaspora were largely looked down upon in order to preserve traditional notions of ‘Irishness’. This investigation concluded that familism’s rise in Ireland and throughout the Irish diaspora in response to Britain’s encroaching colonial intervention in the country determined that homosexuality served no purpose to the nationalistic cause, thus leading to its construction as an inherently anti-Irish characteristic among Irish men.
How “Fantastique” was Les Mouches Fantastiques?
Authors: Hermann Katrina
Published: May 2023

This paper examines the historical significance of Les Mouches Fantastiques, cited as “Canada’s first queer publication,” published from 1918-1920 in Montreal. Specifically, the research employs a framework offered by The Historical Thinking Project (directed by Professor Peter Seixas of the University of British Columbia) to consider the historical significance of the journal as a primary source by acknowledging historical perspective, identifying continuity and change, and analyzing cause and consequence.1 Through this framework, the paper interrogates the ways Les Mouches Fantastiques challenged prominent social and judicial norms of the 1910’s and how it would inspire future queer publications. However, this paper conversely examines the limitations of the publication and its historical implications, recognizing the limited accessibility to a Canadian audience at the time. With a focus on the significance of Les Mouches Fantastiques in Canadian queer history, there is emphasis on the role of the publication in providing historians with a unique, well-rounded lens into history that remains significant in the present.

Who Tells Your Story
Authors: Stocco Sofia
Published: May 2023

Debuting in 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical Hamilton was an instant success because of its unique interpretation of American history. The historical alteration that has made Hamilton so popular is the casting of America’s founding fathers all as men of color. All actors, with the exception of two, are people of colour, which makes Hamilton a welcome display of diversity on the Broadway stage. This modern casting choice has caught the attention of many critics, raising questions concerning the nature of artistic works versus historical works. This racially diverse casting choice is not accidental, and yet the same attention to diversity is not given to the play’s characters and plot. The visual diversity on stage conceals the fact that Hamilton is another example of the glorification of white men that simultaneously erases the presence and struggles of people of colour throughout American history. While the hip hop culture that structures the musical may appear to engage with a more diverse America, Hamilton is still using a concept of colored culture that is a form of reactionary masculinity to toxic Euro-American gender standards; the modern rap masculinity on stage is the same toxic masculinity as the oppressive white masculinity in history. The racially diverse cast and music that appear forward-thinking only conceal that Hamilton is yet another celebration of exclusively white American history that promotes the Euro-American construct of domineering masculinity.
Rewriting the Past to Right the Present
Authors: Di Vizio Tessa
Published: May 2023

In this paper, I argue that the current Hungarian and Polish governments—Fidesz and the Law and Justice (PiS) parties, respectively—engage in historical revisionism to legitimize their illiberal regimes. They act as “mnemonic warriors” by mobilizing, or weaponizing, history for their political gain. They rebuke international criticism of their democratic backsliding, erosion of the rule of law, and media censorship by emphasizing their role as defenders of the nation. Specifically, Viktor Orbán and Jarosław Kaczyński seek legitimacy by grounding their historical interpretations in wartime resistance movements. They continually praise these wartime figures for fighting valiantly to defend their nations from foreign attacks and try to position themselves as their successors, striving to extend these historical narratives of heroism and struggle to their current fight against European Union elites, who criticize their democratic backsliding and illiberalism. In this paper, I will discuss how Orbán and Kaczyński try to revise the official and popular memory of their nations’ experiences in both the Second World War and Revolutions of 1989. I analyze specific monuments, museums, and laws implemented by each regime and compare and contrast their historical revisionism efforts—namely, victimization in Hungary and heroism in Poland—within their current political context to show how they mobilize their historical narratives in their fight against EU elites.
Hypothyroidism in Saudi Arabia: a review article
Authors: Hamzi Salihah
Published: May 2023

Thyroid hormone is necessary for the healthy development of the nervous system and adequate growth in the first several years of life. The pituitary gland regulates T3 and T4 levels through a feedback mechanism in healthy individuals. One of the most frequent worldwide causes of severe neurocognitive impairment and avoidable mental retardation is congenital hypothyroidism (CH). The incidence of CH was previously thought to be 1:3000–4000 live births, however, recent evidence indicated an upward trend. Thus, this review aimed to study the hypothyroidism trends in Saudi Arabia. Several factors could influence the occurrence of hypothyroidism, including age, sex, and other regional considerations. According to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), 15.5% of non-endocrine females with a BMI of 20 or higher had hypothyroidism. Research has revealed a strong link between thyroid disorders and diabetes. According to studies, there is a direct link between high TSH levels and coronary artery disease (CAD), making hypothyroidism a risk factor for CAD. Further, many studies added information demonstrating that hypothyroidism during pregnancy increases the risk of both maternal and newborn outcomes. To offer more precise information about the prevalence and effects of hypothyroidism, a population-based cohort study is required.

Published: May 2023

The quantitative and qualitative analysis of honey components is the object of this study. These analyses are considered a physicochemical and melissopalynological tool that allows the study of some characteristics of honey. The analysis of ten (10) samples of Algerian honey is carried out to determine the pH, water content, electrical conductivity, ash content, acidity, hydroxymethylfurfural content, proteins, and sugar content. According to the obtained results, the physico-chemical parameters of the studied honeys comply with the European and international standards. The pollen spectrum indicated the presence of 23 plant families, mainly Fabaceae, encompassing a total of 65 honey species visited by foragers. Of the 10 honeys sampled and analyzed, six were monofloral, with the remainder showing no apparent dominance of any honey type. The most frequent plant species were eucalyptus (Eucalyptus sp.), Italian sainfoin (Hedysarum coronarium), and chickweed (Lathyrus sp.). Furthermore, the results obtained indicate that all honey (monofloral and polyfloral) showed a high degree of variability in the number of pollen grains.
Association between Stearoyl CoA Desaturase (SCD) Gene Polymorphisms and Milk Production in Holstein Cattle Breed
Authors: Bayraktar Mervan , Özcan Bahri Devrim
Published: May 2023

The SCD gene is a significant component of the leptin signaling pathway. The SCD gene has also been suggested as a candidate essential gene that can change the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in milk and increase the amount of conjugated linoleic fatty acid, which is thought to have anti-cancer properties. The current research was carried out on Holstein cows to determine the association between SCD (Stearoyl-Coenzyme A Desaturase) gene polymorphism and total milk yield at 305 days (TMY305) and daily milk yield (DMY). The polymorphism in the SCD gene was identified using the PCR-RFLP technique and the SatI restriction enzyme for genotyping at SNP c.878T>C in the exon 5. The TT, TC, and CC genotype frequencies were 0.21, 0.50, and 0.29 respectively. While the allele frequencies of T and C were 0.46 and 0.54, respectively. According to the Chi-square test results, the SCD/c.878T>C distribution was in Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium (P<0.05). Statistical analysis indicated a significant association between the SCD gene polymorphism and TMY305 (P<0.05). The TC genotypes showed a higher mean TMY305 compared to the TT and CC genotypes.

Relacije umetnosti i video igara / Relations of Art and Video Games
Authors: Maravić Manojko
Published: May 2023

When discussing the art of video games, three different contexts need to be considered: the 'high' art (video games and the art); commercial video games (video games as the art) and the fan art. Video games are a legitimate artistic medium subject to modifications and recontextualisations in the process of creating a specific experience of the player/user/audience and political action by referring to particular social problems. They represent a high technological medium that increases, with practically each new commercial game, the aesthetic potential of audio-visualperformances and includes more complex narrations and characters/avatars. A number of artists take part in their creation: designers, composers and actors. Video games are a medium through which the fans of commercial games are trying to secure their position in the contemporary technologised culture.

Living between reality and virtuality – on the work of Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss
Authors: W. Kluszczyńsk Ryszard
Published: May 2023

It becomes clear that new media begin to function as multiplicators of new worlds, creating numerous virtual environments. This diversified, compound reality in many ways takes a shape of a network. New media art in this field of events has various functions. From one hand, it is one of the most refined instruments in the process of networkisation. From the other hand, it is also the tool of verification for these processes, critically but without prejudice evaluating its development, attentively observing what shapes do they took, as well as their real or possible results. In each case, new media art is an active participant of these processes, making full use of possibilities provided by the network system. Frequently while performing its activities it is intersected or linked with the processes which are a part of the world of science, creating together with them new cultural paradigm. Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss undertook their joint, creative actions in combined fields of art and science in late 1980s. It was a special moment of a breakthrough for the formation of the character of modern civilization. Events taking place back then, as being a part of a sphere of phenomena generated by communication and information sciences, had enormous influence on the process of shaping a new cultural formation – cyber culture, and because of this, at the same time, had enormous influence on our ways of reality perception. From the beginning of their cooperation, Fleischmann and Strauss have found the tools appropriate for the realization of their works in the environemt of the internet. Their’s art has developed in parallel to the development of computer and internet environment, depicting dynamics of this network and inscribing, with the undertaken issues, in the circle of problems generated through out a development and transformations of accompanied cyber-cultural concepts.
Politička mreža: relacije moći i strategije otpora / Political Network: Rethinking Power Relations and Disobidience Strategies on The Internet
Authors: Todorović Isidora
Published: May 2023

From the nineteenth century theoreticians have noticed a historical shift from the disciplinary society to a society of control. While disciplinary societies practiced control with vast spaces of enclosure, societies of control discipline with a certain form of self-correcting. At the end of the twentieth century when theoretical discourse is saturated with terms like liberal capitalism and technological utopia some media theoreticians conclude the shift in control societies from physical to virtual reality (Deleuze, Galloway). If we acknowledge the position that conflict is the main constituting factor in society, deciding the shift in power relations (Foucault) and forming a biopolitical subject, we can analyze these shifts (often produced by civil disobedience) in virtual space.
Političnost fikcije kroz destabilizaciju jezika / Politicality of Fiction through Destabilization of Language
Authors: Simčić Iva
Published: May 2023

Continuous dialogues between readers and fiction works (art) create new and unstable understandings and perceptions of reality. Nevertheless, those cognitions are always determined by language/discourse, encoded by preexisting fixed meanings and our knowledge. This paper theorizes a possibility of fiction – which always reflects, reproduces and refers to provisional reality perceptions – to destabilize language/discourse and subsequently question and challenge the stability of reality sustained by it.

Ideologija prostora i vremena i prostor-vreme muzeja / Ideology of Space and Time and Space-Time of Museum
Authors: Sladojević Ana
Published: May 2023

In this paper I postulate that museum, as the image of the world, functions according to principles formed around ideological constructs of time and space. I problematize terms of heterotopias and multiple chronotope, used in museum context, interpreting them as ideological, derived from the Western epistemological frame. Although conclusions in this paper can be applied to museum as such, focus is primarily upon museums that represent the so called non-European objects or topics. The approach is interdisciplinary, interrelating cultural studies, postcolonial theory, museum studies and African studies.
Benjaminov ormar: Autobiografski diskurs u/kroz teoriju / Benjamin’s Closet: Autobiographical Discourse In/Through Theory
Authors: Palašti Andrea
Published: May 2023

The aim of this paper is to explore the autobiographical and theoretical forms of entry in Walter Benjamin’s essay Berlin childhood, and, on the other hand, to present a diverse/flexible/ hybrid theory by which is realized a meaningful framework of analysis. According to this, the contextual interpretation of the story The Sock is, in fact, an intertextual play between autobiography (text!) and theory (footnote!).
O imerziji, čistoj percepciji i diskurzivnoj gustini u virtuelnoj umetnosti / On Immersion, Pure Perception and Discoursive Density in Virtual Art
Authors: Petrović Margarita
Published: May 2023

In this paper I will apply bergsonian model of pure perception modified as transitional step of immersion in some projects of virtual art (Dervish by Markos Novak and Placeholder by Brenda Laurel and Rachel Strickland), extrapolated from an analogy observed in the processes of exclusion in bergsonian theory of perception and lacanian theory of subjectivation. For Bergson, my body as an image/screen is carved out, and, in turn, is carving from, the aggregate of other images. Object appears to my body in the process of conversion from present to represented object by exclusion of its greater part, as perception. For Lacan, process of subjectivation includes a phase of aphanisis, „the division of the subject – when the subject appears somewhere as meaning, he is manifested elsewhere as ‘fading’, as disappearance“. Subject appears as a kind of agency capable of isolating and playing with the function of the image/screen as a form of his or her represenation. When entering the VR, our body, delimited as a screen, as a centre of indetermination capable of eventual actions, will be delimited again in another aggregate of images, specified by what I shall call different discursive density: new discursive-specific time-space grid, after which our screen will form gradually. At first, access of perception (of the user) to the memory (of the VR system) and consequent forming of affection which distinguishes between virtual and real actions establishing boundaries of the body, seems to be absent. This generates transitory disorientation for the user descended to defective position of the cyber-produced borderline state, untilanother screen with adequate discursive density is delimited, allowing for its visibility in the VR system – reflecting the actions of that system with increasing ability to delay its own.

Izvođenje umetničko/teorijskog rada u mediju hiperteksta – net art Marka Amerike / Performance of Artistic/Theoretical Work in Medium of Hypertext – Mark Amerika’s Net Art
Authors: Nikolić Sanela
Published: May 2023

In this study, I focus on the problem of relations between art and theoretical work when they are performed in hypertext/hypermedia Net Art environment. Mark Amerika’s hypermedia practice, produced by digital technologies and focused on the questions of status, functions and modes of art and theory productions in information and biopolitical society, is considered as a case study. Amerika uses hypertext and hypermedia for realization of research art practice and as a media of post-pedagogical and theoretical work which deviate from determined types of scholarly discourses about art and expanding the concept of writing in hypermedia direction. Referring to biopolitical theories, Amerika emphasizes the communication linkage problem between biological organism and networked, hypertextual systems which is always de/regulatory. Remixology, implemented in digital, interactive internet environment, Amerika considers as a critical metaactivity against the manipulation of behavior in mass media of communications space and system of global networking.

Artists as Activists: The Simulation of Politics and its Value
Authors: Kleinmichel Philipp
Published: May 2023

Today we may witness the emergence of various forms of political activism as art. Based on a necessary distinction between political activism and political activism as art, the article highlights the symbolic economy that stabilizes the relation and structural difference between art activism and political activism. Insisting on the fact that political activism as art must be measured not only by its impact on the psycho-political atmosphere of our time, the author portends that the meaning of art activism appears in regard to its innovative function within the contemporary art world, which is the musealization and historization of political activism.
The Politics of Aesthetics and the Hatred of Democracy according to Jacques Rancière
Authors: Hussak van Velthen Ramos Pedro
Published: May 2023

Among readers of Jacques Rancière there is a discussion about the possibility of aesthetics substituting for real political action. This is because while the French author elaborates on the conception of the emancipated spectator, he states that the political task of art cannot be the removal of the spectator from her “passive” condition into the dimension of political action, but only the suspension of the relationship between “active” and “passive”. However, in Aisthesis, published in 2011, Rancière warns the reader that it is not a case of abandoning the aesthetic utopia, even if any teleological view is withdrawn. In this article, I intend to discuss these paradoxes by confronting the considerations of Le Spectateur émancipé and La Haine de la démocratie, trying to show that if politics itself presupposes action, the politics of aesthetics must be understood as a non-identification process that takes subjects out of the places that were “addressed” to them beforehand. In La Haine de la démocratie one of the symptoms of the crisis of representative democracy is presented by the fact that it produces oligarchies and, on the other hand, new social dynamics appear as the conquest of a new citizenship that confronts these political oligarchies. Noting that demonstrations today, whether in Turkey, Spain, or New York, are similar to artistic happenings, Rancière can say that where there is aesthetics there is democracy. Understanding this last statement is the aim of the present article.
The Living in Art since the 1960s: A Deep Link to Politics
Authors: Prunet Camille
Published: May 2023

The use of the living as a medium in art increased after the Second World War. During the 1960s, some artworks were related to an ecological consciousness, or to the beginnings of computer science, which was associated with biology at this early stage. Both of these two modes of using the living are now finally together, in what is called biotechnological art. Defining the living is a deeply political issue, as we may see, for instance, in the problematic of animal rights, defended by the environmentalist movement. When does life begin? What is specific to human life? What is the value of life? As Hans Cova has written, “instead of changing the world at all costs, it would be better to ensure that it doesn’t disappear right before our (in)credulous eyes”.1 The huge changes effected by the evolution of knowledge in biotechnology and science confirm the human temptation to control life. This type of questions haunt works using living elements. In such works, artists use a problematic type of material and have to deal with its political aspects. Through works by Fujiko Nakaya, Piotr Kowalski, Tissue Culture and Art, and Art Orienté objet, I examine the work of artists engaged in this political discussion on our future life (of plants, animals, and humans).
Impacts of Environmental Discourse on Environmental Art and its Traps
Authors: Plešivčnik Tanja
Published: May 2023

The paper examines the field of environmental art and assesses the impacts of the prevailing environmental discourse on environmental and ecological topics in the development of art. It shows how the popularization of environmental discourse and environmental themes encouraged the growth of art that is entirely focused on its ecological and environmental contexts. In the context of researching art in terms of promoting deep and positive changes in the appreciation of the environment and nature, this research also stresses the importance of the aesthetic experience of the environment in artistic creation. Exploring this approach reveals key differences between artists who focus on solving ecological problems and aesthetically engaged artists who adopt a deep and inclusive focus on the environment itself.
