    Introduction

    No full text
    The first part of the introduction explains the background and motivation of the book: the context and the formation of new left politics and expertise in Eastern Europe in the last two decades, the challenges of communicating new left perspectives regionally and globally in the context of established communication and research infrastructures; and the book’s place within ongoing efforts to make such dialogues possible. The second part of the introduction outlines common baselines and lessons offered by the perspectives presented in the book. On the one hand, these are made up by common threads in the various left research traditions authors subscribe to—like a critical political economy perspective and a materialist approach to the history of politics and political ideas—and their consequences in terms of similarities of local diagnoses—like the claim that the political level of the regime change in 1989–1991 is preceded by a transformation of socio-economic structures and world-economic integration similar to the neoliberalization of other semi-peripheries from the 1970’s. On the other hand, some common elements are specific to the context and history of East European socio-political constellations and the position of new left thought within them—like the issue of anticommunist or anticorruption campaigns. The third part of the introduction explains the structure of the book, the selection of authors and their relation to respective local new left scenes, and provides an outline of each chapter. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG

    Agnes Heller\'s theory of justice

    No full text
    A pesquisa tem como objetivo principal oferecer um panorama amplo da Teoria da Justiça de Agnes Heller, filósofa húngara judia falecida em 2019, ainda pouco explorada no Brasil e em especial no Direito, e que foi desenvolvida majoritariamente na obra Beyond Justice (1987). O desenvolvimento dos capítulos da Dissertação segue, em alguma medida, o circuito do pensamento da Autora, que passou por profundas mudanças ao longo de sua vasta e diversa produção intelectual de mais de seis décadas, mas a qual teve foco maior na ética e na compreensão da condição humana, em especial na modernidade. A análise parte da investigação sobre o cotidiano, tema desenvolvido na fase inicial da Autora, na metade dos anos 1960, quando Heller era discípula de György Lukács e integrava a chamada Escola de Budapeste, círculo intelectual que tinha por objetivo um renascimento do marxismo. Em seguida, parte-se para o período localizado pouco depois de sua emigração forçada para a Austrália (1977) em razão de perseguições que sofreu do regime soviético, onde por algum tempo ainda fez a defesa de uma teoria socialista não-leninista, comprometida com a radicalização da democracia, em crítica ao socialismo real. Nesta fase, que se destaca por uma Filosofia Antropológica de Heller, analisa-se a relação proposta entre desenvolvimento histórico e humanidade. Logo depois, apenas como ponte, passa-se brevemente pela Teoria da História por ela proposta no início dos anos 1980, quando há o rompimento definitivo com o marxismo e com as grandes narrativas. Em seguida, ela desenvolve uma série de obras de composição bastante original e, segundo John Grumley, de um pós-modernismo reflexivo, em que ela propõe efetivamente a sua Teoria da Justiça, e, por isso, é o ponto sobre o qual se debruça primordialmente esta pesquisa. Para tanto, primeiro se explora a sua compreensão sobre a características fundamentais e as respectivas diferenças da prémodernidade, modernidade e pós-modernidade para, depois, fundando-se no conceito de justiça dinâmica, coração de sua Teoria da Justiça e, para a Autora, o portador da dinâmica da modernidade, se explorar o seu conceito ético-político incompleto de justiça, cujas bases se fundam na teoria do discurso ético de Jürgen Habermas, e, por isso, a exposição é feita em diálogo de convergências e divergências com este autor. Explora-se a discussão feita pela Autora sobre o significado de uma sociedade justa na modernidade e como, a partir deste conceito, seria possível um universo pluralístico no qual cada cultura, independentemente do modo de vida, pode ser ligada uma a outra por laços de reciprocidade simétrica. Por fim, a partir da compreensão da condição humana moderna de irremediável lançamento na contingência, desenvolvida a partir dos anos 1990 sobre a sua Teoria da Modernidade e sobre o sentido de uma Ética da Personalidade, faz-se a ligação final entre a sua Teoria da Justiça, a democracia e a modernidade, com aparos de considerações mais recentes da Autora, desenvolvidas a partir dos anos 2010, sobre o significado do projeto do iluminismo, de seus valores e da justiça no século XXI.The main objective of the research is to offer a broad overview of the Theory of Justice by Agnes Heller, a Hungarian Jewish philosopher who died in 2019, still little explored in Brazil and especially in Law, mainly formed in the work Beyond Justice (1987). The development of the chapters of the thesis follows, to some extent, the circuit of the author\'s thought, which has undergone profound changes throughout her vast and diverse intellectual production of more than six decades, but which had a greater focus on ethics and on the understanding of the human condition, especially in modern times. The analysis is based on the investigation of everyday life, a theme developed in the author\'s initial phase, in the mid-1960s, when Heller was a disciple of György Lukács and was part of the so-called Budapest School, an intellectual circle that aimed at a rebirth of Marxism\". It then moves on to the period shortly after her forced emigration to Australia (1977) due to the persecutions she suffered from the Soviet regime, where for some time she defended a non-Leninist socialist theory, committed to the radicalization of democracy, in criticism of real socialism. In this phase, which stands out for an anthropological philosophy of Heller, the proposed relationship between historical development and humanity is analyzed. Afterwards, just as a bridge, the Theory of History she proposed in the early 1980s is briefly mentioned, when there is a definitive break with Marxism and the grand narratives. She develops then a series of works of quite original composition and, according to John Grumley, of a reflective postmodernism, in which she effectively proposes her Theory of Justice, and, therefore, is the point on which this research focuses primarily. For this, firstly, we explore her understanding of the fundamental characteristics and the respective differences of pre-modernity, modernity and post-modernity, and then, based on the concept of dynamic justice, the heart of her Theory of Justice and, for the author, the bearers of the dynamics of modernity, if they explore their incomplete ethical-political concept of justice, based on the ethical discourse theory of Jürgen Habermas, and, therefore, the exhibition is made showing convergences and divergences with this author. Then the author\'s discussion about the meaning of a just society in modernity is explored and how, based on this concept, a pluralistic universe would be possible in which each culture, regardless of its way of life, can be linked to each other by ties of symmetric reciprocity. Finally, from the understanding of the modern human condition of irremediable release into contingency, developed from the 1990s on her Theory of Modernity and on the meaning of an Ethics of Personality, we show the final link between her Theory of Justice, democracy and modernity, based on the author\'s most recent considerations, developed from the 2010s onwards, on the meaning of the Enlightenment project, its values and justice in the 21st century

    BookThe Parenting Shift by Agnes W. Nzioka answers the question, why yet another book on parenting? Haven&apos;t we been parenting for thousands of years? However, by the time you finish reading this eight-chapter book, you will be convinced that there is a need to relook at this topic from today&apos;s perspective. More importantly, there is hope for parents in this generation who may not have been adequately trained to tackle the complexities of this generation. Drawing from the academic disciplines of medicine, psychology, sociology and communication. Agnes provides nuggets for the necessary shift in parenting. The author is not shy to use biblical principles and personal experience to demonstrate that : parenting (which) is not for cowards&quot; can be successfully done

    Agnes, Ading Pradani. 2014. Characterization in Ernest Hemingway’s Hills Like White Elephants. Study Program of English, Department of Languages and Literature, Faculty of Cultural Studies, Universitas Brawijaya. Supervisor: Sri Herminingrum; Co-supervisor: Melania Shinta HarendikaKeywords: Ernest Hemingway, short story, character, characterization.Short story is a medium to deliver the message of the author’s sense about what happened in society. Short story has the elements to reveal the author’s sense and one of them is character. Character as a sign is used to reflect the existence of the person in order to build the reader’s imagination, especially in the narrative text. Some of characters are presented by the author in direct or indirect characterization. Ernest Hemingway is a well known author who presents indirect characterization in his work. The characterization of each implicit character can be identified through the text in Hemingway’s Hills Like White Elephants.The study of Hemingway’s Hills Like White Elephants applies structuralismapproach as the grounding approach; generic form, and Roman Jakobson’smetaphor, and metonymy as the theories that are used to identify each character’s characterization through the texts and dialogues. Information about Hemingway and some references about characterization are needed to complete the process of identification.The result of this study presents Ernest Hemingway’s specialty in playing indirect characterization. In Hills Like White Elephants, Hemingway presents three indirect characters’ characterization; the American, the Girl and the Woman.Each character has traits. First, the characterization of the Girl shows that she is aperson who is always pessimistic with her condition, stubborn and she can becategorized as an emotionally unstable person. Second, the American’scharacterization shows that he is fickle, egoist, and he is also an irresponsibleperson. The last, the Woman’s characterization describes that she is a politeperson. For the further researchers, it is suggested to use historical approach inother Ernest Hemingway’s works because most of Hemingway’s works were fromhis experience during he spent his life in Europe by being the volunteer in WorldWar I.

    Reconfiguring Regimes of Capitalist Integration: Hungary Since the 1970s

    No full text
    This chapter looks at how reconfiguring Hungarian regimes are linked to changing modes of world-economic integration since the world-economic crisis of the 1970’s. It traces the process through which a “bridge” position of the Hungarian economy, relying on Western technological imports counterbalanced by the export of cheap Soviet oil and raw materials got dismantled in the context of the 1970’s crisis, and how resulting reorganizations prepared the ground for the privatizations and Western FDI-based model of the 1990’s. Then, the chapter follows how the end of privatization is succeeded by a debt-led integration model in the 2000’s, and replaced after the crisis of 2008 by a reconfiguration of internal–external structures of world economic integration defined by a politics of the present conservative government that combines a dependent integration subservient to the needs of foreign capital with a broadening of state-backed oligarchic national capital in non-tradable sectors. The chapter points out how strategies of external integration are intertwined with changing global geopolitical relations, manifesting in the increasing role of Russian and Chinese finance locally. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG
