In the wake of neoliberalism, academia is increasingly being turned into a market imperative, marked by the rising global popularity of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses and the concomitant reduction in funding for humanities departments. This situation presents a crisis for the Humanities and the values and forms of knowledge it stands for. This crisis is manifesting itself in ways such as the persistent gap among disciplines as well as between scholarship and lived experiences. The breakdown of disciplinary boundaries and the consequent intermingling of Humanities and Sciences has led to the rise of new knowledge systems.

In 2008, the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) released its 70th anniversary manifesto reaffirming film’s status as the “optimal archival storage” of the moving image. “Don’t throw film away!” they urged, for unlike its digital successors, film elements tangibly embody traces of their own material history alongside a bygone cultural heritage. “No matter what technologies may emerge,” they write, existing film elements “connect us to the certainties of the past.”

Decolonizing Philosophy from the Arabic-Islamic World (hybrid)

Sunday, September 15, 2024

Despite the growing tide of decolonization, scholars of Arabic-Islamic in the west has refrained from engaging with decolonial theories. Dimitri Gutas' most recent "paraphilosophical" thesis raises even more questions about the entrenchment of the secular in the study of philosophy in the Islamic world. Decoloniality can help scholars from falling into the traps of orientalist scholarships. Approaching the Arabic-Islamic tradition from the celebrated vantage point of critical theory is helpful for scholars from the north and south alike.

Since their formal inception in the 19th century, writing courses have been seen as “a preparation for citizenship and productive work” (Brereton, 1995, p. 9). Rhetoric around the “knowledge economy” prioritizes communication skills in equipping students for success in competitive job markets (Cope and Kalantzis, 2009). These students, however, face more than professional challenges in the world: the rise of climate catastrophe, wealth inequality, misinformation, state-sanctioned violence, and economic uncertainty, to name a few.

Contemporary translation theory reflects the breakdown in the traditional dichotomy “author” versus “translator,” since it views the translator no longer as a subordinate figure to the author, but as an equal co-creator of the literary work, who rewrites the original text in another language and thus actively participates in the creative process. How does attention to this changing relationship between the author and the translator help with understanding of the creation and interpretation of meaning and the subsequent longevity of the translated work in a new environment?

Eco-environmental criticism has now become a staple presence in the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary landscape, calling for ongoing reflections on the human impact on the environment. A distinct aspect of these conversations has been the growing focus on the concern of ecological destruction for the planet, with all the inevitable consequences that this entails.  Within changing contexts that feel increasingly more precarious, conceptualisations of the ‘eco-futures’ have become central to our cultural discourses,  from film to television series, from literature to comics, from animation and video games to digital narratives and design, from socio-ecology to animal studies.
