Interview with Benedict Anderson
No full textOn October 1, 2008, Benedict Anderson presented a talk at Columbia University in which he discussed his upcoming book, a biography of the Chinese-Indonesian journalist Kwee Thiam Tjing. Having found a book of Kwee’s writings in a second-hand bookshop in Indonesia in 1962, Anderson describes his surprise that no one could identify the pseudonymous author, who wrote what Anderson considers to be “the greatest piece of prose written in the first half of the 20th century by anybody in Indonesia.” For years after Kwee’s death, Anderson explains, details of the journalist’s life and work were forgotten. It was only recently that Anderson was himself able to write about the author, in the process considering the role of cosmopolitanism in the life of the colonial subject

Misconceived Configurations of Ruth Benedict
No full textRuth Benedict has been the subject of a number of studies in both Japan and America. However, these studies have, up until now, maintained their international borders and avoided any cross-fertilization of knowledge. In America, three full length biographies, along with numerous other articles, have been devoted to the work and life of Benedict. In contrast, Japanese attention has mainly focused on Benedict's famous study of the Japanese, the Chrysanthemum and the Sword. Thus, on the Japanese side few have pursued the motivations of the author behind this book, whereas in America, Benedict the cultural anthropologist tends to figures large, leaving little room for discussion of Chrysanthemum.
Douglas Lummis, however, has attempted to straddle both sides of the fence with his piece A New Look at the Chrysanthemum and the Sword. Unfortunately, for his background knowledge on Benedict, he turns to Margaret Mead but fails to realise that the intricate relationship between Mead and Benedict has greatly influenced the portrait painted by her. The result is a rather heavy-handed attempt to prove that Chrysanthemum is merely a piece of "political literature" penned by a poet inhabiting the facade of a cultural anthropologist. Nevertheless, this image created by Lummis has managed to colour a large number of subsequent comments on both the book and author in Japan.
This paper will identify some of Lummis' major arguments against the background of the material he has used to formulate his arguments. Lummis' ideas derive from Mead's biography of Benedict, but by re-examining this biography and comparing it with other biographies on Benedict--and Mead--it becomes obvious that Mead's interpretation of Benedict's complex life was but one side of story. Thus, Lummis' use of Mead must also be considered when assessing the validity of his interpretation of Benedict
Vital Architectures: An Animistic Approach to Socio-Ecological Healing
No full textThe material world is alive and agential. Indigenous ontologies and contemporary more-than-human theories describe the world as a living community or system, comprised of many different connected entities who are kin. This research on animistic architecture highlights the interactivity between human and more-than-human communities and explores how such interactivity can mutually enhance social, cultural, and ecological wellbeing. Modernisation has affected the wellbeing of Indigenous peoples and the ecosystems they relate to. Returning awareness to the symbiotic relationship between human and more-than-human communities is a healing action in itself. Exploring the epistemological works of academics such as Jane Bennett, Arrianne Conty, and Amanda Yates provides this project with context and a basis for further methodological development through physical forms of vital craft. Designing architecture to improve the wellbeing of the more-than-human community we live amongst will in turn improve the health and wellbeing of human communities. Through a holistic health and wellbeing architecture situated in Titirangi, in the heart of the Waitakere ranges, this project aims to explore how architecture can heal both human and more-than-human communities synergistically

References to classical pre-Christian sources in Benedict XVI’s teaching
No full textKs. Tadeusz GaciaThe author focuses on the references to pre-Christian sources of the teaching
of Pope Benedict XVI. The material under discussion includes homilies, the
Wednesday catecheses, the Sunday noon speeches and some other selected
texts. Addressing different people at various intellectual level, generally believers,
Benedict XVI uses single terms or simple Greek and Latin phrases. He
explains them and reflects on them. He also uses, in the same function, quotations
from the ancient literature and refers to history or even mythology. In
his speeches addressed to the representatives of science, culture or politics,
the Pope refers to the arguments made by outstanding Greek philosophers,
especially Plato, Socrates and Aristotle. According to the author of the article,
Benedict XVI’s love for Latin and his profound knowledge of the ancient literature
helps him not only to convey the theological content effectively, but
also to defend the Christian culture against the Western trends in reasoning,
deaf to religious argumentation.Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski12/151
