Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship
DÉCALÉ VII: Décalé x Chinabot
No full textDÉCALÉ VII: Décalé x Chinabot was a research-led interdisciplinary event that integrated experimental sound, performance, and moving image. The evening featured live performances by Zein Majali, Ans M, Angela Wai-Nok Hui, and Jlte Taygeta, alongside DJ sets by Chinabot artists and Décalé resident Chooc Ly Tan. The program explored themes of identity, diaspora, and speculative futures, drawing on Chinabot's commitment to amplifying Asian diasporic voices and Décalé's focus on marginalized artistic expressions. Through this collaboration, the event fostered a space for critical engagement with cultural narratives and sonic experimentation
Deliberation and journalism
No full textThe first chapter in 'International Journalism and Democracy' re-examines current ideas about the role of journalism in promoting democracy, introducing the concept of "deliberative journalism". 'Deliberation and Journalism' lists the ways in which journalists can assist deliberation and politics in communities around the world. The chapter defines deliberation as a specific form of conversation that precedes and promotes decision-making and action by members of a community. The author recognises the difficulty of engaging in deliberation in communities that are divided by different interests, identities, backgrounds, resources and needs. She provides examples of strategies that journalists can use to encourage inclusive and productive deliberation in the face of community diversity.\ud

The chapter introduces examples of types of deliberative journalism that have emerged around the globe. These include strategies that have been sometimes been labeled as public journalism, civic journalism, peace journalism, development journalism, citizen journalism, the street press, community journalism, environmental journalism, and social entrepreneurism. The chapter also includes models of journalism that have not yet been given any particular name. Although the book identifies problems surrounding the theory and practice of these forms of journalism, the author notes that this is to be expected. Most models of deliberative journalism are relatively new, with none being more than a few decades old. The author concludes that resolution of these problems will only occur incrementally
Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.
No full textPhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what
they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who
they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour.
In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating
in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food
and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of
cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and
control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically.
My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing,
Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory,
sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to
construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive
interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food
and eating in literature in our culture.
I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and
nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality.
I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as
indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is
crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as
control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards
wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social
eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power
relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in
the context of society as a whole

Politics of Transtextual Influence: On Angela Moorjani's Beckett and Buddhism
No full textThis article focuses on Angela Moorjani's book Beckett and Buddhism (2021) to advance a transtextual framework for understanding Beckett's Buddhist and non-European influences. Though 'transtext' is mentioned by Moorjani, it is not elaborately theorized by her. I theorize this idea from Gérard Genette's narratology to account for the mediated, multi-layered influences Moorjani reads in her book. I posit the transtextual operation as an outside-in movement where the context pushes the text from its surroundings and build on the political aspect of this transtextual influence by importing Edward Said's orientalism into the discussion. In the process, I offer micro-readings from Beckett's Murphy and How It Is that respond to Moorjani's readings to highlight Beckett's oblique critique of the orientalist discourse. The objective is to address the neglected political regime of representation in Beckett's unconscious borrowings and disavowals around Buddhism and Indian thought. I further the political inquiry by invoking Ambedkarite Buddhism in India and its mobilization of the Buddhist non-self as a tool for emancipation from the oppressive identitarian discourse of 'caste.' This invocation along with the third and final micro-reading from the novella 'The End' shows how Beckett's appeal to the Buddhist non-self has a political undercurrent with a critique of identitarian discourses
