Penerapan Data Mining Untuk Clustering Data Pencari Kerja dengan Menggunakan Algoritma K-Means
Authors: Susilowati Desy , Wicaksono Yanuar
Published: October 2024

Pencari kerja yang mengajukan lamaran pekerjaan harus mematuhi kebijakan perusahaan yang mereka inginkan. Masalah yang masih relevan saat ini adalah banyak pencari kerja yang belum berhasil mendapatkan pekerjaan karena berbagai faktor, termasuk tingkat pendidikan dan ketersediaan lapangan kerja di berbagai wilayah. Para pencari kerja yang mendaftar di berbagai perusahaan sering memiliki kualifikasi umur dan pendidikan yang beragam, terutama di wilayah Kabupaten Bantul, D.I Yogyakarta. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berasal dari Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi Kabupaten Bantul. Proses pengolahan data dilakukan menggunakan Data Mining atau Knowledge Discovery in Database, dengan metode clustering menggunakan Algoritma K-Means untuk mengelompokkan data pencari kerja ke dalam sejumlah cluster yang diinginkan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengelompokkan data pencari kerja di Kabupaten Bantul dan memisahkan mereka ke dalam kelompok yang memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda. Pengujian  dilakukan menggunakan perangkat lunak RapidMiner, yang merupakan alat Data Mining dengan berbagai metode yang tersedia. Pengelompokan data pencari kerja ini diharapkan dapat membantu pemerintah mendistribusikan pekerjaan secara merata kepada para pencari kerja dan mengurangi penumpukan data pencari kerja setiap tahunnya, dan dapat membantu Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi Kabupaten Bantul dalam perencanaan dan alokasi sumber daya sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Hasil implementasi algoritma K-Means pada data pencari kerja yang telah diuji dengan k=2 sampai dengan k=10 menghasilkan cluster terbaik yaitu k=2 dengan nilai Davies Bouldin Index (DBI) sebesar 0.523, diantaranya Cluster_0 terdiri dari 214 anggota, sementara Cluster_1 terdiri dari 36 anggota. Oleh karena itu, semakin kecil nilai Davies Bouldin Index (DBI), semakin tinggi tingkat kemiripan data dalam satu kelompok.
Psychoeducation as burnout prevention for Hungarian teachers
Authors: Szigeti Mónika Veronika
Published: October 2024

The aim of this study is to examine the role of psychoeducation in preventing burnout among Hungarian teachers. Psychoeducation is a structured method of delivering professional information, combining elements of education, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and grouptherapy, with the goal of developing coping strategies to maintain health and ensure therapeutic collaboration. As part of the research, a 30-hour training program was developed and implemented with two groups, consisting of kindergarten and special education teachers (N=35). The core components of the training included self-awareness exercises, autogenic training techniques, and conflict management strategies. Changes in participants' burnout levels, psychological immune systems, coping methods, and perceived social support were assessed using pre- and post-training questionnaires (Maslach Burnout Inventory Educator Survey (MBI-ES), Oláh’s Psychological Immune System Survey, Coping Methods Questionnaire, MOS SSS-H Social Support Questionnaire, and Mental Health Test). A significant reduction in burnout was observed. The findings support previous research indicating that psychoeducation can effectively reduce stress and burnout, though its effectiveness may depend on various factors, such as the length and intensity of the program, as well as participants' motivation and commitment. Future research should involve larger sample sizes and longitudinal designs to assess the long-term benefits of psychoeducational interventions more accurately for teacher burnout.
Research and teaching methods for electrical circuits in science, technology, and engineering: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: MOLOI MABEL JULIA
Published: October 2024

This study employed a bibliometric analysis to investigate a variety of approaches and research patterns in the instruction of electric circuits within the realms of science, technology, and engineering. Through a bibliometric review, the current body of research was examined, offering quantitative insights through statistical analysis. The distribution of paper titles, author keywords, and keywords plus was analysed statistically to determine trends in research on electric circuit methodologies. Based on the Scopus database, only 94 documents covering the period 1988 to 2023 were identified, indicating a limited scope of the research. Study results identified bibliographic information, diverse methodologies, and research trends, providing future research on electric circuits with valuable quantitative insights. Compared to traditional methods of teaching electrical circuit concepts, previous research emphasized the use of hands-on, virtual applications and inquiry-based learning techniques, etc. Bibliometric analysis revealed that no studies have included or documented the table method for teaching electric circuits. It was recommended that future research evaluate the effectiveness of the table method among science teachers.
Analyzing Business Cycles in Azerbaijan: Application of Various Filters and Spectral Analysis
Authors: Hasanli Yadulla , Rahmanov Ramiz
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the cyclical behavior of Azerbaijan's economy and its non-oil-gas sector through the application of various filtering techniques, including the Hodrick-Prescott, Baxter-King, and Christiano-Fitzgerald filters. Utilizing quarterly GDP data from Q1 2001 to Q4 2023, we analyze the volatility, cycle duration, and significant periods of economic growth and contractions. Our analysis reveals that the Hodrick-Prescott filter shows more pronounced and volatile cyclical components, while the Baxter-King and Christiano-Fitzgerald filters provide smoother and more moderated views. Spectral analysis, employing periodograms smoothed with Bartlett, Hamming, Hann, and Parzen kernel windows, identifies cycle durations ranging from 4.1 to 19.4 quarters for total GDP and 4.3 to 19.4 quarters for non-oil-gas GDP. We find that Azerbaijan's economy exhibits higher volatility compared to advanced economies, likely due to its dependence on oil exports and susceptibility to external shocks. Key periods such as the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted economic performance, with notable declines identified across all filtering methods. The HP filter indicates a sharp and more prolonged downturn during these crises, whereas the BK and CF filters capture less prolonged and less severe impacts. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of Azerbaijan's business cycles, highlighting the importance of robust methodologies in economic analysis. Our findings contribute to the limited literature on Azerbaijan’s economy and offer valuable insights for policymakers aiming to enhance economic stability and growth.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Ha
Published: October 2024

In terms of development and integration of globalization, Vietnam has many qualities of international universities with international standard training programs, which prestigious educational accreditation organizations have recognized. Students have the opportunity to study entirely in English and in an advanced learning environment, which is a great advantage for learners in accessing international education. Research on Preserving and promoting national cultural identity for students majoring in the University of Greenwich Vietnam’s Graphic and Digital Design in an international University environment aims to emphasize the importance of national cultural identity in development, current globalization integration, especially for students studying international training programs that do not have specific subjects on national history and cultural traditions. From there, the topic proposes a number of solutions to raise learners' awareness of preserving and promoting national cultural identity in future professional activities. The research used analysis, synthesis, and interdisciplinary methods such as cultural studies, ethnology, and fine arts. This paper aims to contribute to the study of solutions to preserve national cultural identity in the context of today's international integration
The Role of Coaching-Based Leadership, Appreciation, and Gratitude in Enhancing Psychological Capital and Organisational Thriving in Lithuanian Organisations
Authors: Savickaite-Kazlauske Evelina , Bendaraviciene Rita
Published: October 2024

The study investigates the relationships between the perceived presence of positive organisational practices and the levels of personal and collective Psychological Capital (PsyCap) and Organisational Thriving (OT) observed by individuals. It hypothesises that applying Coaching-Based Leadership principles within organisations correlates with higher levels of individual and collective PsyCap and a stronger perception of Organisational Thriving. Additionally, it hypothesises that increased supervisor and peer appreciation and Work Gratitude are associated with higher individual and collective PsyCap and a greater perception of the organisation's thriving. Data were collected from 372 participants across 20 organisations using survey scales to measure Psychological Capital (PsyCap), Collective Psychological Capital (PsyCap), Organisational Thriving (OT), Coaching-Based Leadership (CBL), Appreciation at Work, and Work Gratitude. Spearman's rank correlation analysis revealed primarily moderate but significant positive correlations among these variables. Notably, the strongest correlations were observed between Organisational Thriving with both Coaching-Based Leadership and Work Gratitude, with slightly weaker correlations associated with Appreciation at Work. Collective PsyCap resources showed the most substantial links with Work Gratitude, followed by CBL and Appreciation at Work. In contrast, individual PsyCap (iPsyCap) demonstrated more modest but significant relationships with these organisational resources. This study contributes to the fields of Positive Organisational Scholarship and Positive Organisational Behaviour by empirically highlighting the potential impact of positive organisational practices on both individual and collective PsyCap and OT.

Authors: Tatoğlu Mehmet Furkan , Yılmaz Yalçın
Published: October 2024

Gündüz kuşağı televizyon programları olarak da adlandırılan, gerçek hayat hikâyelerinin konu edildiği ve RTÜK tarafından “Gerçek Yaşamlar Program Türü” olarak sınıflandırılan programlar, reyting ve rekabette önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Genellikle toplumda yaşanan sosyolojik sorunlara değinen ve insanların hoşça vakit geçirmesini sağlayan bu programlar, günümüzde ticari kaygıların artmasıyla birlikte içeriğinde yoğun olarak şiddet unsuru barındıran bir yapıya bürünmüştür. Televizyonda şiddet unsurları, birey ve toplum üzerinde birtakım fiziksel ve psikolojik sorunlara neden olabilmektedir. Etik sorunlarla da sürekli gündeme gelen bu program türü; hiçbir entelektüel çaba ve bilgi birikimi gerektirmeksizin üretilmekte ve temel olarak insanların yaşadıkları gerçek hayat hikâyelerini konu edinmektedir. Bu programlarda konu edilen hikâyeler genellikle küfür, hakaret, tehdit etme, çeşitli araç ve gereçlerle yaralama ya da öldürme, dayak, kaçırma, taciz ve tecavüz gibi özünde şiddet barındıran olaylardan oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, gündüz kuşağı programlarında sunulan şiddet unsurları; Jean Baudrillard’ın Simülasyon Kuramı bağlamında ele alınmış ve izleyicilere hipergerçek deneyim sunan bu ticari ürünler simülasyon evreninde incelenmiştir. Örneklem olarak seçilen Müge Anlı ile Tatlı Sert programından raslantısal olarak ele alınan dört bölüm, içerik çözümlemesi yöntemiyle analiz edilerek somut verilere dönüştürülmüştür. Programa konuk olarak katılan gerçek hayattan kişilerin, şiddete ilişkin hal, hareket, tavır ve söylemleri tespit edilmiş, elde edilen veriler kuramsal çerçevede betimsel olarak yorumlanmıştır.
Traumatic Injuries to the Central Nervous System
Authors:   , Niemeyer Menco Johannes Sophius
Published: October 2024

This thesis explores the clinical epidemiology of patients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI). Initially, it addresses the rising clinical significance of TBI in hospitals, highlighting a shift in trauma-related morbidity and mortality toward TBI. The studies presented support the notion that TBI represents the last frontier in improving acute-phase trauma outcomes, akin to the successes achieved in managing other morbidities such as exsanguination, multi-organ failure, and acute respiratory failure following thoracic injuries.
Furthermore, the research examines how TBI mortality is commonly associated with the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment—a phenomenon observed in multiple hospitals in the Netherlands but seldom described in existing literature. Post-acute phase outcomes are also analyzed, revealing an aging—and still predominantly male—demographic characterized by a high degree of severe incapacitation or death, yet a very small proportion of patients remain in a prolonged unconscious state. In contrast, pediatric outcomes tend to be more favorable, with the vast majority of young patients achieving full recovery or experiencing only minor impairments after the acute phase.
The thesis identifies and critiques flaws in tools commonly used for classifying and comparing brain injuries, such as the Abbreviated Injury Scale for the head and the Glasgow Coma Scale. The second part of the thesis focuses on TSCI, a considerably rarer yet equally devastating condition for patients and their communities. Trends indicate a stable incidence rate but a higher proportion of incomplete cervical injuries within an aging population.
Comprehensive discussions range from prehospital management to long-term rehabilitation outcomes, showcasing meaningful improvements in neurological function following rehabilitation. Lastly, the thesis delves into end-of-life discussions among TSCI patients—a topic with minimal representation in current literature—and explores the motivations for these discussions within a clinical context. This highlights the profound complexity inherent in this critical aspect of neurological care.
POLYLECTROLYTE COMPLEX OF SODIUM ALGINATE - POLYETHYLENIMINE WITH THE INCLUSION COMPLEX OF SULFOBUTYL ETHER β-CYCLODEXTRIN – DEXAMETHASONE.
Authors: Kobrina Larisa , Boiko Valentina , Riabov Serhii , Stompel Volodumir , Sinelnikov Serhii
Published: October 2024

A polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) of sodium alginate with polyethyleneimine, loaded with (5 wt.%) inclusion complex (IC) of sulfobutylether β-cyclodextrin with dexame­thasone, was formed from aqueous solutions. Dexamethasone (DM) is a medical and ve­terinary synthetic glucocorticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, used in the treatment of various di­seases. The structure of the obtained compositions was analyzed by X-ray diffraction method, confirming the interaction PEC and IC through both Coulombic forces between the ionic groups of PEC and hydrogen bonding involving the proton-donor and proton-acceptor polar groups of PEC and IC. These findings were supported by pyrolytic mass spectrometry data and differential scanning calorimetry. The decrease in PEC swelling degree further supports the above conclusions. Testing the obtained PEC films  for drug release using UV spectrophotometry revealed that the release kinetics were nonlinear and partially dependent on the release medium, indicating their potential as materials for creating polymer matrices with prolonged therapeutic effects.

Spatial Politics in Istanbul
Authors: Dorroll Courtney , Dorroll Philip
Published: October 2024

This study explores the momentous shifts in power during a crucial decade in Turkish history, 2010 to 2020, by analysing how these events have produced shifts in the physical landscape of Istanbul. Its analysis focuses on the role of the Turkish state in the restoration of conservative Islamic and neo-Ottoman imagery and iconography in public space through the intentional transformation of architecture and the built environment. This study explores four specific case studies that illuminate the key dynamics and transformations of the last decade of Turkish politics by analysing discrete instances where the political administration of the AKP under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has attempted to inscribe its vision in the public sphere through public architectural sites. These four case studies are the 2010 designation of Istanbul as European Capital of Culture, the 2013 Gezi Park protests, the Monument to the Martyrs of July 15 and associated memorial practices, and the transition of Hagia Sophia from mosque to museum in 2020.
Turning Points: Theory, Background and Methods of Analysis
Authors: Dorroll Courtney , Dorroll Philip
Published: October 2024

This chapter lays the groundwork for the rest of the book by outlining the key theoretical concepts used in its analysis, discussing the Turkish historical and political background necessary to contextualise the specific case studies analysed and clarifying the specific methods of analysis used in these case studies. The key theoretical concepts include cultural capital, cultural memory and public spheres. The necessary historical background focuses on how the historical legacy of the Ottoman Empire has been remembered, forgotten or reimagined in modern Turkey. The key analytical methods that will be applied to the case studies occurring between 2010 and 2020 include ethnographic research, textual analysis and the analysis of architectural sites as texts.
Istanbul as European Capital of Culture, 2010: The AKP’s Final Turn towards Europe
Authors: Dorroll Courtney , Dorroll Philip
Published: October 2024

This chapter analyses how the ideological basis of the European Capital of Culture designation process for Istanbul constituted a form of Eurocentrism that employed both externally imposed orientalism and internalised orientalism. The designation of Istanbul as ECoC caused a reorientation of the construction of the city’s cultural heritage to look towards the Ottoman past through art and architectural events during 2010 which were to be on display for the international tourist. Yet in preparation for the ECoC, the Fatih municipality destroyed one of Istanbul’s most historic neighbourhoods, the Roma neighbourhood in Sulukule. This lived experience of homogenising the city to create a specific architectural public sphere to greet international tourists stands in direct opposition to the multiculturalist discourses of the ECoC application, but is reinforced by the neo-Ottoman vision of Istanbul.
Japanese Documentary Filmmaker Haneda Sumiko: Authorship and Gender Perspective 1
Authors: Armendáriz-Hernández Alejandra , Centeno-Martin Marcos , González-López Irene
Published: October 2024

This chapter examines the work of Haneda Sumiko (1926-) one of the pioneering and most prolific documentary filmmakers in post-war Japan. Born in occupied Manchuria, Haneda´s filmmaking career started in the 1950s when she joined Iwanami Productions to make educational films and PR documentaries. She directed her first film in Iwanami in 1957, went freelance in the 1980s and continued making documentaries until recent years.
This chapter explores her work from different perspectives considering Haneda´s early career, her authorship as woman filmmaker and the discourses surrounding the reception of her films in recent years in the following areas: (i) exploring Haneda’s films alongside Japanese director Susumu Hani as well as her portrayal of women’s efforts to improve their social status in post-war democracy; (ii) how Haneda constructed her female authorship analysing her independent films and their focus on women´s issues, feminist figures and female artists, and (iii) how Haneda’s work is analysed and positioned in film critics’ and feminist discourses in 21st century Japan.
Celebrating Women in Global Cinema: Disruptive Programming and East Asian Women on International Screens
Authors: Elliott Fraser
Published: October 2024

In recent years, a number of curatorial initiatives have increased access for British audiences to films from East Asian regions and this drastic change from earlier decades is working to counter previously limited distribution practices to present a more representative portrayal of East Asian women on UK cinema screens. For the duration of 2019, HOME, a leading film exhibition venue in Manchester, UK, curated one such film programme under the banner of “Celebrating Women in Global Cinema”. An initiative aimed at highlighting the work of women across all levels of international film industries, this focus permeated every strand of HOME’s film programming and the work of East Asian women played a significant role therein.
This chapter positions HOME’s season within Britain’s film cultures more broadly and considers, from an exhibition studies perspective, recent trends in the international circulation of East Asian cinema and their implications for the representation and acknowledgement of women’s contributions therein. The chapter details how this work was made possible through the institution’s cultural positioning and unpacks the interventional possibilities of this curation approach as a means of disrupting the canonical, gendered understanding of “East Asian cinema” in regional, international locations.
Paramilitaries and State Relation: Establishment of the Paramilitary Forces in the 1980s
Authors: Isik Ayhan
Published: October 2024

This chapter analyses the reasons for establishing paramilitary groups against the PKK in Turkey in the 1980s, their types, their relations with the state institutions and local political actors. Based on secondary literature, interviews, memoirs and newspaper reports focusing on the conflict, it appears that these paramilitary organisations were established for three main reasons: (1) the threat to the national security of the Turkish state (as perceived), (2) the weakness of the military in irregular warfare and the institutional capacity of the state, and (3) the plausible deniability they afforded regarding violence carried out against civilians.
Bureaucracy and Political Violence (1992–7): Paramilitarism in Batman Province
Authors: Isik Ayhan
Published: October 2024

The relations of paramilitary formations with each other and state institutions can best be understood locally. Focusing on paramilitarism in a small area makes the relationships between influential political, military and bureaucratic actors more visible and concrete while illuminating the micro-dynamics of tribes, families and individuals loyal to the state. Batman became a province in 1990 and was a fast-growing region of Northern Kurdistan, where the state of emergency law was in force, and there was intense violence against civilians. Local bureaucrats and civil servants were motivated by various reasons, including ideological motivations, violent solutions, and economic interests.
Localised Paramilitarisation of the State (1992–9): The Case of Cizre
Authors: Isik Ayhan
Published: October 2024

Cizre is a town in northern Kurdistan, on the borders of Iraq and Syria, and an important site chosen for paramilitary violence as a case study. In Cizre, there was a local paramilitary group composed of state officers, pro-state tribal leaders, and police and all state institutions were under the control of this death squad. Therefore, the term "paramilitarisation of the state” is used for Cizre.
Conclusion: The Continuity of the Reliable and Deniable Paramilitary History in Turkey
Authors: Isik Ayhan
Published: October 2024

This final chapter argues that the establishment and violence of paramilitary groups in the Turkish case have continuity and trust even under different regimes. However, it also emphasises that these groups are sometimes denied and sometimes accepted by state elites.
The Maknassy Protesters’ Counter-securitising Practices
Authors: Han Saerom
Published: October 2024

Chapter 6 turns to a locally organised unemployed movement in the small town of Maknassy in order to compare its reaction to the securitisation of the unemployed subject to that of the UDC. It explains the emergence of the Maknassy unemployed struggle in the name of civil disobedience and the role that the War on Terror played in its development. The dominant securitising practices partly but significantly affected the protesters’ ways of protesting socio- economic marginalisation, leading them to intervene in the production of the counter-terrorism discourse. The chapter shows that the Maknassy protests were implicated in and at the same time posed a challenge to the ways in which liberal democracy operates for neoliberal governing.
Introduction An Anthropology of Coexistence
Authors: Abillama Raja
Published: October 2024

The Introduction advances the two claims that the coexistence of Christians and Muslims in Lebanon is a secular arrangement, and that Lebanese law is its constitutive medium. It provides an account of Lebanese law, making observations on the interrelationship between the latter and religion. It then discusses the methodology that follows from those observations, making a case for the adequacy of “coexistence” and an anthropological approach to its study. It proceeds to specify three features of coexistence—securing the religious in/a place, articulations of religious distinctiveness and difference, and the containment of the religious passions—the legal norms and procedures that translate them into practice—jurisdiction, codification, sanction—and the elements of the secular sensibility that sustains it—modes of religious belonging, religion-as-form-of-life, dispassionate bodies.
Reorienting Multi-dimensional Sex with Objects in Millenium Hall
Authors: Singer Kate
Published: October 2024

Sarah Scott’s novel Millenium Hall (1762) gathers bodies, spaces, and other objects of play – a collection of women’s narratives, their books and their gifts. Scott layers and arranges these toyish things in order to encourage readers to reevaluate objects, both their trajectories within a gendered symbolic system and their mapping of sexual relations along different orientations than the heteronormative. Women’s prostheses, such as toys or books, do not necessarily qualify as either maternal or phallic objects; they are wood, metal or plant alternatives, whose nonhuman status might be animated by children but not to the exclusion of the objects’ thingly, affective natures. The novel experiments with objects and narratives loosened from phallocratic power and capering within a mid-century space made safe for women, mothers and the young.
Invisible Architecture in Nineteenth-Century Literature
Authors: Moore Ben
Published: October 2024

This book presents a new approach to reading urban modernity in nineteenth-century literature, by bringing together hidden, mobile and transparent features of city space as part of a single system it calls ‘invisible architecture’. Resisting narratives of the nineteenth century as progressing from concealment to transparency, it instead argues for a dynamic interaction between these tendencies, drawing on thinkers including Walter Benjamin and Jacques Rancière. Across two parts, the book addresses a range of apparently disparate buildings and spaces. Part I offers new readings of three writers and their cities: Elizabeth Gaskell and Manchester, Charles Dickens and London, and Émile Zola and Paris, focusing on the cellar-dwelling, the railway and river, and the department store respectively. Part II takes a broader view by analysing three spatial forms that have not usually been considered features of nineteenth-century modernity: the Gothic cathedral, the arabesque and white walls. Through these readings, the book extends our understanding of the uneven modernity of this period. The Conclusion extends these insights to literary accounts of New York in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
What is Pauline Participation in Christ?
Authors: Stowers Stanley
Published: October 2024

The process of assimilation to Christ involves participating in the features of Christ’s character and the properties of his ontology. Albert Schweitzer and E. P. Sanders pioneered this interpretation in modern scholarship, but did not know how to understand Paul’s realistic material language. A neglected aspect of participation concerns Gentile paternity. Based largely on Paul’s interpretation of Genesis in Galatians and Romans, non-Judeans chosen by God receive God’s pneuma given to Christ that makes them children of God and materially connects them back through the chosen lineage of Abraham to whom the promise of Christ’s grand lineage was made. “All the Gentiles will be blessed in you (Gen 12:3; Gal 3:8).” Sharing the material divine pneuma explains why Paul’s Christ people are said to be in him and he in them. Sex with a prostitute, for instance, would be connecting Christ with the prostitute. Paul does not oppose Christ people who share a spiritual faith with Abraham to carnal Judeans who embrace lineage. Rather, God long planned a line of Gentiles to be grafted into the lineage of Abraham and thus share that paternity with Judeans.
Are Paul’s Moral Teachings Designed for Ordinary Humans?
Authors: Stowers Stanley
Published: October 2024

Addressing the question of the chapter’s title requires an account of Paul’s thought overall asking about the purpose of his “mission.” Christ people are being remade by the transformation of their minds. With God’s pneuma they can master fleshly bodies in which they still live until Christ comes to give them pneumatic bodies. The Christ-like minds look Platonic with an inherent orientation toward God and the good. This process resembles assimilation to a god, in this case Christ. Paul conceives of this ontological change as making a chosen group of non-Jews into morally perfected people. The central virtue of this assimilation to Christ is faithfulness. Whereas the angelic beings and Gentile gods that God appointed to govern the cosmos have not been faithful, Christ was perfectly faithful. God thus gave him his own pneuma to guarantee such obedience. Paul’s goal was to find chosen Gentiles who would become fellow sons of God with Christ so as to rule with him and even judge angels. Paul thus deals morally with ordinary sinful people, but ones becoming divine. Teachings such as to crucify the flesh with its emotions and desires is not morality for ordinary humans.
The Viability of Feminist Stoicism: On the Compatibility of Stoic and Feminist Epistemology
Authors: Bowden Chelsea
Published: October 2024

While some scholars (Hill, Nussbaum, Aikin and McGill-Rutherford) suggest that the Stoics hold proto-feminist ethical views, they have neglected to consider whether Stoicism is compatible with feminist epistemology. This chapter argues that Stoic epistemology, especially their conception of the cognitive impression, the connection between knower and impression, and the adverse relationship between emotion and knowledge, is antithetical to key concepts in feminist epistemology, such as situated knowledge and standpoint theory (Anderson, Alcoff, Intemann). The Stoics’ deemphasis of the agent’s gender in her role as a knower – often interpreted as a detached, objective, and egalitarian “view from nowhere” – is inconsistent with feminist epistemology; thus, this chapter maintains that a fully satisfactory “Stoic feminism” is untenable.
Passing It On: Olive Schreiner and Bessie Head
Authors: Driver Dorothy
Published: October 2024

Alongside its nascent critique of whiteness, Olive Schreiner’s From Man to Man (1926) stands back in the presence of the black foster-child character’s alternative dreams. Bessie Head’s novel Maru (1971), which portrays a comparable relation between foster-mother and child, serendipitously opens with a scene that recalls an episode in Schreiner’s life, where she assisted in a dark-skinned baby’s roadside birth. Head’s novel also deals with the aporia of the unconscious and the ‘crisis of representation’ as dreams become real. Head referred in interviews to the relation between herself and Schreiner as if she were, indeed, her metaphorical ‘reincarnation’. The question of ‘afterlife’ leads to the question of how a literary ‘tradition’ is formed: how writing (and its meaning) is transmitted from one generation to the next. Furthermore, re-reading Head after Schreiner not only poses questions about how Head is to be positioned in a literary tradition already partially developed by Schreiner-Head critics; it also invites us to re-read Schreiner herself, and – crucially – to do so as if through Head’s (imagined) eyes. The latter practice alerts us to the deepest of readerly contingencies, destabilising any notion of a final ‘truth’ in the act of reading.
Coetzee’s Schreiner, Schreiner’s Coetzee: Provincialising Allegory

Published: October 2024

Speaking to the poet Stephen Watson in 1978, JM Coetzee shared his conviction that South Africa’s was ‘not a great literature’, that ‘there are no really gigantic figures in it’, and that he had little interest in writers ‘who are classed as gigantic, say Schreiner and Campbell’. Yet two decades after this dismissal, in a 1998 interview (only published in Korean), Coetzee would claim that amongst South African writers only Schreiner had ‘meant a great deal’ to him. Coetzee’s qualification (‘of all South African writers’) is worth noting, as is the fact that he has often disavowed the influence of writers from the country of his birth (in a lecture at UC Berkeley in 1991, he suggested that when he first looked for writing models there simply were none in South Africa). Yet, this chapter argues, it nonetheless remains worth asking quite what Schreiner has ‘meant’ to Coetzee. This query is pursued through parallel readings of Schreiner’s allegorical novella, Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland (1897) and Coetzee’s first novel, Dusklands (1974).
Cinema, Culture, Scotland

The Cultural Necessity of a Poor Celtic Cinema
Authors: McArthur Colin , Murray Jonathan
Published: October 2024

A more extended evolution of the argument originally set out in the ‘Poor Cinema’ article of Chapter 19, this longer essay likewise argues that ‘Poor Cinema’ represents a culturally and industrially relevant cinematic category not only for Scottish film-making, but also for that of all the Celtic countries. It illustrates this argument with detailed reference to ‘mainline’ Scottish cinema and to diverse international examples of ‘Poor Cinema’ as models for the Celtic countries.
The Exquisite Corpse of Rab(elais) C(opernicus) Nesbitt
Authors: McArthur Colin , Murray Jonathan
Published: October 2024

Having recounted the difficulty English television audiences had in understanding the Glasgow vernacular of the Scottish television series Rab C. Nesbitt, the essay proposes that it exemplifies Scots cultural critics’ account of the extent to which culture supplanted politics to deliver ‘the Scottish voice’ following the failure of the 1979 referendum on Scottish independence. Extending the discussion into Scottish body language and Scottish screen acting, the essay demonstrates the melding of High and Low culture and the considerable artistic quality of two episodes from the series.
Mise-en-scène Degree Zero: Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï
Authors: McArthur Colin , Murray Jonathan
Published: October 2024

This essay uses analysis of Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï (1967) to explore the director’s intellectual formation within discourses of Existentialism and his early commitment to Americanophilia, both of which factors significantly marked his filmmaking career. The essay also explores one further significant shaping factor on Melville’s career, namely, the French surrender during the Second World War, the betrayal of Vichy and the emergence of the French Resistance. Thematically speaking, Melville’s films are primarily about loyalty and betrayal; formally speaking, they constitute a ‘cinema of process’, an unblinking stare at actions presented in all their fullness. The essay concludes by examining Melville’s shifting historical status within French film culture.
The Late and Post-Dictatorship Cinephilia Boom and Art Houses in South Korea
Authors: David Jackson Andrew
Published: October 2024

This monograph examines an unexplored area of South Korean cinema history– the 1985-1997 growth of art film exhibition, consumption, and cinephilia. This moment of heightened interest in art film altered how many Koreans conceptualised cinema and helped pave the way for the critical success of South Korean film. This historical study analyses the cultural, political, social, and economic developments of the post-1985 period that increased interest in European art film. It looks at the interactions of art house exhibitors with cinephile audiences, the media and the state-level administrators responsible for governing the industry. The aim of young cinephiles was nothing less than a bottom-up cultural transformation of a society emerging from three decades of dictatorship. The analysis is based on the previously unheard voices of audiences who participated in the cinephilia. This study is both a history of an era in Korean cinema and an argument about the impact of this period of cultural renewal on the industry.
Introduction
Authors: David Jackson Andrew
Published: October 2024

While most previous English-language studies have investigated the remarkable growth of the twenty-first-century South Korean film industry by focusing their discussion on movies and directors, there has been far less interest from scholars in the examination of exhibition. The introduction argues that it is also essential to understand theatres as spaces of cinematic experience that shaped audiences and filmmakers and helped transform South Korean film. The monograph provides a chronological history of the development of art film exhibition in South Korea, and an argument about why these spaces are worthy of greater investigation and why art houses declined. The study is based on an examination of Korean language media reports, and Korean Film Council (KOFIC) records about the development of art houses between the early 1990s and the present day. The research uses Peter Bosma’s (2015) concepts of film programming, Jane Harbord’s (2002) ideas about the state and non-state institutions that facilitated the circulation of art film. It also considers theories of spatiality in cultural consumption developed by Robert C. Allen and Doreen Massey. The primary data comes from interviews, questionnaires, and correspondence with important participants in the development of art film exhibition, distribution, and importation in South Korea.
Challenges to art houses and the decline of cinephilia in a period of Korean cinematic expansion
Authors: David Jackson Andrew
Published: October 2024

This chapter analyses the late-1990s decline of the European art film boom, beginning with a discussion of the critical problems faced by the Dongsung Cinematheque. The cinema’s specialist status as a dedicated art-house theatre required it to adhere to official stipulations, meaning that officials were essentially interfering with the programming – contradicting a central facet of the theatre’s aim to transform art film exhibition in South Korea. This started friction between administrators and exhibitors over programming that reemerged in new millennium art film exhibition. Researchers have largely blamed the end of 1990s cinephilia and art film consumption on the economic downturn caused by the 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis. Based on an analysis of contemporary newspaper articles, cinema schedules and seat occupation rates, this chapter argues that the decline in foreign art film consumption also resulted from a rejuvenated domestic commercial and art film industry. Media discourses helped fuel greater public interest in the box office and the festival successes of South Korean-produced movies. Cinemas that specialised in European art films struggled as a result. The chapter offers an insight into South Korean cinematic consumption and exhibition in a period when audiences for domestic film expanded exponentially.
Introduction: Conversation as Worldmaking in Literature, Philosophy and Criticism
Authors: Greer Erin Elizabeth
Published: October 2024

The introduction establishes the significance of conversation in modern ethical and political thought and explains the book's turn to fiction to clarify this recurrent idealization of conversation. It describes what it terms the 'conversational outlook,' a foundational ideal in the work of two philosophers central to the chapters that follow, Stanley Cavell and Hannah Arendt. Each makes non-instrumental talk crucial to their responses to scepticism regarding our capacity to know others or the common world, and each provides hints about the ethical and political stakes of conversation understood as a practice that transforms – and generates – a shared world. The introduction then outlines how the ensuing chapters refine this understanding of conversation by enlisting works of fiction that share, yet complicate, this outlook. It closes with an account of the book's own practice of 'conversational criticism,' offering a framework for conceptualizing interdisciplinary literary studies modelled on the conversational outlook. This framework, it proposes, offers a refreshing new understanding of the ethical and political stakes of literary studies.
Digital vs Political Conversation: Ali Smith, Arendt and Wittgenstein
Authors: Greer Erin Elizabeth
Published: October 2024

The book's final chapter examines the 'conversational' qualities of Internet-mediated discourse, focusing particularly on the exchange of memes as reflected in Ali Smith's There But For The. It reads the novel's mysterious central premise – a man named Miles locks himself in a guest bedroom during a dinner party and remains there for months, during which he gains global celebrity – as an allegory for the peculiar logic of meme circulation on social media. Putting the novel's memetic situation into dialogue with critical new media studies, Arendt's account of judgement and Ludwig Wittgenstein's discussion of 'language-games', the chapter argues that the language-games of memetic media conflict with the expressive and interpretive modes associated with democratic political conversation as described in this book. This analysis elucidates problems inscribed in the communicative criteria used and reinforced in the exchange of digital memes, showing how such criteria undermine the possibility of a common world. Smith's novel resolves its memetic situation through an exchange of short stories and a conversation, and the chapter closes with a meditation on the relationship between conversation, interpreting fiction, and the modes of thinking conducive to public, worldmaking conversation.
Introduction
Authors: Scheie Timothy
Published: October 2024

This introduction asserts that, while there are numerous films that could be called both “French” and “western,” as a collective designation with discursive currency and recognized meaning “The French western” does not exist. After addressing the conundrum of how to study this non-existent corpus of films, the introduction offers an overview of the book’s organizing principles.
