Book excerpt: Abstract: Masks hide the identity of an individual, or they give the individual a new identity. The principle of individuation (principium individuationis), as represented in various natural, i.e. mechanical, material, and mental individuation, could be regarded as a progressive masking of elementary phenomena by more complex forms of phenomenal individuation. The following investigation is an attempt to identify the functions of masks in various contexts of culture, religion, art, also the natural sciences and to draw analogies between them. The face masks in masquerades, in the dance theatre Kathakali, the protective helmet of a medieval knight, etc., can be compared with the reality-masks of natural phenomena as discussed in the natural sciences of mechanics, physics, chemistry or biology. The principle of masking determines the principle of individuation itself, in which the reality of molecular or atomic individuations mask the causation of elementary substances (such as atoms, subatomic particles such as electron, proton and neutron, etc.). Accordingly, the reality of every phenomenal individuation is based on an ontological causation underlying or rather hidden behind the mask of phenomenal reality
Download or read book Progressive Dystopia written by Savannah Shange and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Francisco is the endgame of gentrification, where racialized displacement means that the Black population of the city hovers at just over 3 percent. The Robeson Justice Academy opened to serve the few remaining low-income neighborhoods of the city, with the mission of offering liberatory, social justice--themed education to youth of color. While it features a progressive curriculum including Frantz Fanon and Audre Lorde, the majority Latinx school also has the district's highest suspension rates for Black students. In Progressive Dystopia Savannah Shange explores the potential for reconciling the school's marginalization of Black students with its sincere pursuit of multiracial uplift and solidarity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and six years of experience teaching at the school, Shange outlines how the school fails its students and the community because it operates within a space predicated on antiblackness. Seeing San Francisco as a social laboratory for how Black communities survive the end of their worlds, Shange argues for abolition over revolution or progressive reform as the needed path toward Black freedom.
Download or read book Sensitive Reading written by Mai-Linh K. Hong and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice is a community manifesto of essays, poems, recipes, and art describing people who stepped up in the absence of government leadership. In March 2020, when the US government failed to provide personal protective equipment in the face of COVID-19, the Auntie Sewing Squad emerged to meet a critical need--sewing masks--and to critique the US government failure to protect the public's health. Led primarily by Asian American women and other women of color, including some who learned to sew from refugee mothers and grandmothers working in sweatshops, the Auntie Sewing Squad openly tells a history of exploited immigrant labor, while turning it on its head. The Auntie Sewing Squad became a cadre of dispersed mask-sewers who nimbly funneled masks to asylum seekers, indigenous communities, incarcerated people, and many others in need of protection. Sewing masks became a way not only to meet a public health need, but also to come together in mutual aid and to support cross-racial solidarity and political action in a moment of social upheaval"--

Download or read book The Progressive Personality written by James W Patterson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-05-28 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book appears to be another in a series of books explaining, or introducing the Esoteric dimensions of Man...... while at the same time using a special "Esoteric Truth" lens to view [expose] a most unusual phenomenon we currently refer to as Progressivism. If you have ever wondered how it is that a conservative and a liberal seem to talk past one another, and neither seems to "hear" what the other is saying.... this book explains what causes this phenomenon. This book also explains how this phenomenon is Psychological, and not something ones brain can explain. The term "Psychological" refers to those dimensions of Man that the brain cannot perceive, think about, or discover. And this may come as a surprise to many? This book is not an easy or quick read. The reason is that most of this book reveals phenomena that is largely denied, ignored, or feared in America today. The Esoteric two-thirds of Man, in other words. That is, the MIND and Spiritual realms "within" Man. And, the author insists, "it is not possible to study Man, and certainly not possible to understand Man while in denial of two-thirds of Man". Perhaps the author has a point?
Download or read book The Mask of Motherhood written by Susan Maushart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2000-05-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming a mother is filled with the extremes of emotion --the highest highs and the lowest lows. But women are often reluctant to talk honestly about the experience for fear they'll be seen as bad mothers. With wit and candor, The Mask of Motherhood takes on the myths and the misinformation, helping women to prepare and deal with the depth of feeling that comes with the experience and perhaps most important, it lets them know that many, if not most, new mothers are feeling the same way.Susan Maushart, sociologist and mother of three, explores how motherhood affects our marriages and friendships, our relationships with parents, our sex lives, and our self-esteem. In The Mask of Motherhood, mothers will find the comfort and reassurance they are looking for, and confirmation that, indeed, motherhood is the toughest job in the world, but can also be the most rewarding.

Download or read book The Mask and the Flag written by Paolo Gerbaudo and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Arab Spring to the Spanish Indignados, from Occupy Wall Street in New York to Nuit Debout in Paris, contemporary protest bears the mark of citizenism, a libertarian and participatory brand of populism which appeals to ordinary citizens outraged at the arrogance of political and financial elites in the wake of the Great Recession. This book draws on 140 interviews with activists and participants in occupations and demonstrations to explore the new politics nurtured by the 'movement of the squares' of 2011-16 and its reflection of an exceptional phase of crisis and social transformation. Gerbaudo demonstrates how, in waging a unifying struggle against a perceived Oligarchy, today's movements combine the neo-anarchist ethos of horizontality and leaderlessness inherited from the anti-globalisation movement, and a resurgent populist demand for full popular sovereignty and the reclamation of citizenship rights. He analyses the manifestation of this ideology through the signature tactics of these upheavals, including protest camps in public squares, popular assemblies and social media activism. And he charts its political ramifications from Podemos in Spain to Bernie Sanders in the US, revealing how the central square occupations have been foundational to current movements for radical democracy worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Theology after Christendom: Engaging the Thought of Douglas John Hall brings together contemporary thinkers to engage and build upon Douglas John Hall’s work—and to take up his challenge to reclaim a contextual and de-colonizing theology of the cross as a means to speak to the realities of life and faith today. With a focus on contemporary issues, this edited collection critically analyzes and deconstructs the centuries-old colonial triumphalism of Christian theology and the church in the West. This book seeks to frame present day crises in ways that honor a deeply rooted theologia crucis that does not colonize the “other.” It explores constructive decolonizing possibilities for Christian theology at the end of Christendom.
