Herman Dooyeweerd: Christian Philosopher of State and Civil Society
No full textJonathan Chaplin, Director of the Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics at Tyndale House in Cambridge, England, lectured on his recent book entitled Herman Dooyeweerd: Christian Philosopher of State and Civil Society. Dooyeweerd, a twentieth century Dutch philosopher, has long influenced a scholarly community in Europe and North America. Chaplin asserts that the philosopher can offer constructive concepts regarding the relationship between state and civil society which will help to achieve justice and the public good

ICS 222601 W16. Democracy and Diversity
No full textModern democracies are not only made up of diverse individuals but diverse cultures. How ought liberal democracies address cultural pluralism, especially when the claims of cultures conflict? This question is explored principally by critically examining liberal multiculturalism, which argues that group-differentiated rights are not only consistent with, but required by, the basic liberal democratic values of freedom and equality. Ultimately the course goes beyond a secular multiculturalism by seeking to understand cultural pluralism within a political theological framework. Will Kymlicka and Nicholas Wolterstorff are among the theorists considered, and particular attention is given both to Quebec and Islam as case studies.This syllabus is based on a course outline previously developed and taught at ICS by Dr. Jonathan Chaplin, Spring 2005, course code ICT 2632 SO5
Thinking Christianly - Voting Secularly? How to Vote in November (2028)
No full textChaplin (Director of the Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics, based at Tyndale House in Cambridge, United Kingdom) notes that while we are voting now, Christians must also think a generation ahead in order to make a real impact as Christian citizens who don\u27t simply follow secular fashion. Chaplin holds a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University; a Mphil degree from the Institute for Chri stian Studies in Toronto, Canada; and a PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science. He has affiliations with the Center for Public Justice, and serves as a Board member for Citizens for Public Justice in Toronto and the Movement for Chr istian Democracy in the United Kingdom

Book synopsis :
From the author of the acclaimed Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy Encyclopedias, here is the ultimate A Z guide to the cinema's greatest comedian Featuring scores of entries and 250 photos and illustrations This outstanding A Z reference offers rare treasures for all Charlie Chaplin fans, from seldom seen film footage to a wealth of previously unpublished anecdotes As well as intriguing esoterica, the Encyclopedia presents a full account, with detailed credits, of all of Chaplin's films, from the earliest silents to ``The Great Dictator,'' ``Limelight,'' and other classics There is also in depth information on Chaplin's ``lost'' movies, newsreels, stage work, collaborators, and much, much more Glenn Mitchell is an internationally recognized authority on early 20th century cinema comedy His Laurel and Hardy Encyclopedia was hailed by Choice as: ``Almost everything anyone could want to know insightful, succinct highly recommended'' in praise of his Marx Brothers Encyclopedia, Parade observed: ``Not many reference books make you laugh out loud, but [this book] does just that, page after page '' 256 pp 7 x 10 250 b w photos & illustrations
The Chaplin Machine, or Americanism in Soviet Russia
No full textRecenzja książki Owena Hatherleya The Chaplin Machine. Slapstick, Fordism and the Communist Avant-Garde (2016). Strożek omawia główne idee pracy Hatherleya, który pod postacią terminu „Chaplin (slapstick) Machine (tayloryzm-fordyzm)” analizuje wizje amerykanizmu i amerykańskiego snu w kulturze lewicowych awangard, zwracając tym samym uwagę na znaczenie wyobrażeń Ameryki dla kształtowania nowej proletariackiej kultury w duchu konstruktywizmu. Recenzent pokazuje, w jak konsekwentny sposób brytyjski autor analizuje zależności między dwiema wielkimi triadami: slapstick – tayloryzm-fordyzm – amerykanizm = cyrk – komunizm – konstruktywizm, kreśląc interesujące relacje między tym, co amerykańskie, a tym, co rosyjskie w obszarze nowego myślenia o kulturze lat 20. i 30.Book review of Owen Hatherley’s The Chaplin Machine: Slapstick, Fordism and the Communist Avant-Garde (2016). Strożek discusses the main ideas of Hatherley’s work, who, using the term “Chaplin (slapstick) Machine (taylorism-fordism)” examines the visions of Americanism and American dream in the left-wing avant-garde culture, paying attention to the importance of how America was imagined in the shaping of a new proletarian culture in a constructive spirit. The reviewer shows how in a con- sistent manner the British author analyses the relationship between two great triads: slapstick - taylorism-fordism - americanism = circus - communism - constructivism, drawing interesting links between the American and the Russian elements in the area of new thinking about culture of the 1920s and 1930s
PhD dissertation -Summary. The birth of comedy: Chaplin and the ontology of comic aesthetics
No full textEl artículo presenta una síntesis de los objetivos, métodos y conclusiones de la tesis doctoral de la autora, que tiene como objeto de estudio el cine de Charles Chaplin. Utilizando una metodología que parte de la mitocrítica hacia un análisis directo de las imágenes, se investigan los orígenes de la comedia a través de personaje Charlot, estructurando el imaginario chaplinesco en tres grandes epifanías, que van a representar tres grandes rasgos del género cómico: el Charlot burlesco, el Charlot patético y Monsieur Verdoux. Entre las principales aportaciones, se demuestra cómo el mito de Hermes funda la comedia en la cultura occidental, cómo el cine de Chaplin se erige como su más grande epifanía, y cómo Chaplin, contrariando la concepción aristotélica, logra elevar la comedia a un status sublime.This article presents a synthesis of the goals, methods, and conclusions of the PhD dissertation of its author, who studies the films by Charles Chaplin. Using a methodology based on myth-criticism and deriving into a direct analysis of images, the origins of comedy are studied through the character of Charlot, structuring his universe into three major epiphanies, which represent three large features of the comic genre: mocking Charlot, pathetic Charlot and Monsieur Verdoux. One of the main contributions of this project is to show how the myth of Hermes founds comedy in Western culture, how Chaplin’s cinema becomes his most significant epiphany, and how Chaplin goes against the Aristotelian standard elevating comedy to a sublime status

Solution, solid-state, and computational analysis of agostic interactions in a coherent set of low-coordinate rhodium(III) and iridium(III) complexes
No full textA homologous family of low-coordinate complexes of the formulation trans-[M(2,2′-biphenyl)(PR3)2][BArF4] (M=Rh, Ir; R=Ph, Cy, iPr, iBu) has been prepared and extensively structurally characterised. Enabled through a comprehensive set of solution phase (VT 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy) and solid-state (single crystal X-ray diffraction) data, and analysis in silico (DFT-based NBO and QTAIM analysis), the structural features of the constituent agostic interactions have been systematically interrogated. The combined data substantiates the adoption of stronger agostic interactions for the IrIII compared to RhIII complexes and, with respect to the phosphine ligands, in the order PiBu3>PCy3>PiPr3>PPh3. In addition to these structure–property relationships, the effect of crystal packing on the agostic interactions was investigated in the tricyclohexylphosphine complexes. Compression of the associated cations, through inclusion of a more bulky solvent molecule (1,2-difluorobenzene vs. CH2Cl2) in the lattice or collection of data at very low temperature (25 vs. 150 K), lead to small but statistically significant shortening of the M−H−C distances
