\u3ci\u3eAlcarràs\u3c/i\u3e, el darrer préssec: una aproximació des dels \u3ci\u3efood studies\u3c/i\u3e
No full textTourné en catalan avec des acteurs non professionnels et à mi-chemin entre la fiction et la non-fiction, Alcarràs (2022) sonde l\u27extinction des petits producteurs agricoles. Tout au long du film, nous sommes confrontés à différentes représentations de la dépossession subie par trois générations. Le présent article se propose d\u27interpréter Alcarràs et sa poétique de la fin, du point de vue théorique des food studies, en portant une attention particulière à l\u27analyse du scénario. En effet, pour narrer le drame d\u27une famille d\u27agriculteurs expropriés à l\u27époque du néolibéralisme, Simón utilise une série d\u27histoires encadrées : des souvenirs de la famille, des légendes féodales et des chansons que la génération des grands-parents transmet à celle des petits-enfants. Il s\u27agit de récits d\u27oppression et de solidarité liés à la nourriture, tournant autour de qui nourrit qui et qui mange qui. Le concept de foodscape est utile pour interpréter le portrait d\u27un écosystème gastronomique, culturel et linguistique dans lequel le territoire, la tradition et la langue sont menacés par une technologie prétendument verte
On Beginning in Analysis
Full text linkWhile we speak casually about the beginning of an analysis, we are also aware that there are different senses of beginning in the context of an analysis. Certain differences surrounding the nature of beginning reflect technical-theoretical debates within the field. But in addition and more broadly, the various senses of beginning represent different dimensions of our understanding and experience of analysis. In this essay, I explore some of these dimensions and consider the significance and challenges of “beginnings” throughout the course of analytic work
Parental Resilience in Contexts of Political Violence: A Systematic Scoping Review of 45 Years of Research
Full text linkFamilies suffer in particular ways during the violence and targeted deprivation of freedom and resources within wars, armed conflicts, and military occupations - all part of political violence (PV). While evidence is accumulating about the disproportionate impacts of PV on parents and children, we lack clear, globally-integrated understandings of how families suffer – and survive – PV. There is an urgent need to synthesize existing work to refine our understandings about parental experiences within PV – with particular attention to both how PV creates suffering for parents, and how parents strategize, caring for their families within the most horrendous of circumstances. In this systematic scoping review, authors explore how political violence impacts parenting. Using pre-determined search strategies and inclusion criteria (peer-reviewed, empirical articles, published in English), searches within multiple databases, and tests of interrater reliability, 112 articles (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method) were identified. Authors organized and coded findings, determined common themes, and built a conceptual model connecting integrating findings. Findings point to two crucial areas of parenting within PV: parenting efficacy and parenting practices, demonstrating how these are simultaneously compromised by and amplified within PV. Results uncover how much parenting within PV is intertwined with parental psychological and social well-being, and that parents cope with a variety of internal and external resources, including culture, community, religion, activism, flight, and emotional and logistical reconfiguration. Implications include that, within and after PV, interventions must focus on parental well-being, as well as the social and political situatedness of parents

Mass political murder: What and where is the hate?
Full text linkThis article explores the meaning and importance of hate in intergroup conflict, especially in conflict that moves to genocide or politicide. Review of controversies in defining hate leads to definition of hate as an extreme form of negative identification that includes perception of bad essence. Negative identification is inverse caring for others, as seen in studies of schadenfreude and gluckschmerz. Studies of dehumanization suggest that two forms of bad essence can be distinguished: evil human (entitativity essentializing) and infrahuman animal (natural kind essentializing). Studies also show that those who essentialize more are more ready to punish indiscriminately all members of a rival group—thus essentializing facilitates killing by category. Application of the negative-identification-bad-essence definition of hate in the Nazi, Cambodian, and Rwandan cases indicates that leaders of political mass murder hate their victims, but that hate is relatively unimportant for those who do the killing. For the mass public that leaders and perpetrators claim to represent, the importance of hate as defined here is currently unknown. Implications are considered for measuring hate in texts and polls and for future directions of research on hate
Redefining Professionalism and Rejecting Perfectionism through the Process of Pedagogical Partnership: Takeaways from My Years as a Student Consultant
Full text linkDemocracy and the Unconscious
Full text linkThis essay examines the relationship between democracy and the unconscious. It does so by understanding democracy through the repressed desire for shared power by a collective actor that has episodically realized itself, in ways that haunt political languages, practices, and aspirations. Democratic flourishing rests upon erotic practices through which the demos transgressively transforms politics by embracing what we refer to as democratic narcissism. Democratic decline and impasse are symptomatic of repressed desires for power that have required the people’s abjection rather than coalescing into a self-affirming narcissism of the demos
