Interrogating the Interplay between Media Teletechnology, AI and (Post)-truth through Derrida
Get PDFIn 2016, the Oxford Dictionaries selected “post-truth” as the “Word of the Year” and defined it as “a term relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.”The 21st century has witnessed a radical transformation in the way information is disseminated and consumed by using technology based media power. The concept of truth, once considered a stable and objective foundation, has become malleable, elusive, and subject to manipulation. My paper tries to show how the media or teletechnology plays a pivotal role in shaping public perceptions and realities, post-truth. To navigate this complex landscape, we have to turn to the philosophy of Jacques Derrida and his portmanteau terms like artifactuality, actuvirtuality and teletechnology, which provide a compelling framework for understanding the interplay between truth, post-truth, and the media. Now the question arises whether Jacques Derrida is a catalyst of designing the idea of post-truth, although there are different registers of truths among which Derrida’s focus is on the truth in philosophy.Using the thoughts of Derrida in his filmed interviews Echographies of Television (with Bernard Stiegler) (Derrida and Stiegler2002) and Bernard Stiegler in his two volumes of Technics and Time (Stiegler1994, 2009), it can be shown how this information/power nexus is carved through a model of visual communication, gradually displacing and supplementing writing (while the ghost of writing surely continues to haunt, the way ghost of speech continued to haunt writing). I also intend to explain how the use of visual elements in information networks creates a new form of power and connection distinct from traditional print and analog forms of communication
Beyond the Weapons: The Philosophy of Kalaripayattu, a South Indian Martial Art
No full textKalaripayattu, a traditional martial art that has evolved over centuries in the southern Indian state of Kerala, offers a rich tapestry of physical practice, ritualistic elements, and philosophical underpinnings. Beyond its function as a combat system, Kalaripayattu embodies a unique ideology that intertwines the body, mind, and spirit. While the philosophical dimensions of other martial arts have been extensively explored, Kalaripayattu remains a largely untapped wellspring of philosophical inquiry. This study delves into the intricate interplay between the martial practice, ritualistic performances, and the underlying philosophy of this martial performance. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty's concept of ‘lived body’, this study explores the non-dualistic nature of a unique Indian martial art, demonstrating how it transcends the traditional mind-body dichotomy. By examining the various dimensions of this art form, the essay aim to illuminate its significance as a cultural and intellectual pursuit that transcends mere physical combat. This study employs a multifaceted method, combining detailed fieldwork with historical researc
Balancing Climate, Culture and Human Rights: Insights from La Oroya, Fosen and the Torres Strait Islanders Case
Get PDFAs climate change accelerates, humans will need to take increasingly ambitious measures to mitigate its effects. These measures may protect human rights, ensuring people are safe from natural disasters, food insecurity and extreme temperatures, but they also have the capacity to infringe upon human rights. Balancing these interests is a growing challenge for the law, and has recently been the subject of groundbreaking jurisprudence in several international forums. This article examines the challenges of balancing human rights and climate action in the frame of two key human rights – the right to culture, and the right to a healthy environment – drawing lessons from the recent La Oroya Case from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Torres Strait Islanders Case from the UN Human Rights Committee, and the Fosen Case from the Norwegian Supreme Court
Fostering Employee Loyalty in Tourism Sector: The Synergistic Impact of Psychological Safety, Inclusive Leadership, Ethical Climate, and Reward Recognition
Get PDFThis study aimed to identify the key factors that differentiate employees who display unwavering loyalty from those who do not. Using linear discriminant analysis approach, we investigated several important factors, including psychological safety, inclusive leadership, ethical climate, and reward and recognition, to determine their respective influences on employee loyalty. The findings yielded valuable insights into employee loyalty determinants. Psychological safety emerged as the most influential factor among those examined. Workplace culture fostering psychological safety was positively linked to employee loyalty. Ethical climate and recognition & reward systems also played substantial roles in distinguishing loyal from less loyal employees. Moreover, organizations prioritizing ethical behaviour and effective recognition and reward mechanisms were more likely to cultivate employee loyalty. Inclusive leadership, though valuable, was a less discriminant factor in this study
Analysis Of Impact Of Digital Financial Services Among College Students On Financial Literacy
Get PDFRecently information technology has enhanced the functions of Indian financial institutions. A country's economic progress is significantly influenced by its banks. A comprehensive program of branch expansion, savings mobilization, and lending high-tech financial services to both literate and uneducated members of society characterize the development of banking for economic growth. The current era can be accurately said as a Digital era and it has become essential for banking and financial institutions to focus on digitalization for its survival and growth. Internet has been considered as the most valuable tool for sharing of data and other relevant information. It is the fastest medium of communication (Dr Neeraj Kasuhik, 2014). In recent years, formal financial services have grown significantly. The RBI and the Central Government take numerous actions to provide banking services and products, particularly to young people
The Law of Eminent Domain and Forced Displacement in India
Get PDFIndia, in the new millennium, found its place in the ranks of rapidly developing countries. The primary model of development has long been the ‘Western’ one, where the emphasis is on projects including the construction of factories, dams, mining, weapon-testing grounds and the like. These projects require large areas of land, which India began acquiring under the umbrella of the Land Acquisition Act of 1894. As land is finite, an increase in the number of such development projects led to large-scale forced evictions of vulnerable populations, with the law relying on the principle of ‘eminent domain’. This principle gives the right to the central and state governments to take away private property for ‘public purposes’. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act of 2013 repealed the Act of 1894 and ushered in a new era of hope for instances of development-induced displacement. However, the central government diluted this legislation by exempting certain categories of projects from the consent and social impact assessment (SIA) requirement. In the absence of specific international and national protective mechanisms, the human rights of development-induced displaced persons have suffered for generations
Festival and Urban Space: A Systematic Literature Review
Get PDFFestival studies is not only an important field of research for tourism or event industry but is also critical for an architectural and urban design field. Due to the amount of the progress done in this field by many inter-disciplinary areas, the subsequent corpus of research on festivals appears to be relatively disintegrated. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) from 2000 to 2021, this paper examined festivals studies from tourism to urban design disciplines. In this paper, descriptive and thematic analysis were carried out to analyse the state of existing research in order to understand the concept of festival studies. The purpose is to describe a SLR that intends to establish the knowhow on festival spaces and try to explore the advancement in the field and deliver potential research directions. The corpus thus helps us in establishing the topic which is very least investigated and would need more research on
