From Interpretation to Interruption
Qualitative analysis is, inherently, a complex, messy and nuanced process. In the context of contested notions of validity, for novice researchers there is therefore an attraction in adopting established, systematic and formulaic approaches. Yet, in prioritising methodical processes, over critical engagement and methodologically coherent quality criteria, these approaches can risk limiting research to a process of cataloguing and reporting face v…
La economía política de la seguridad alimentaria en comunidades mapuche de la Araucanía- Chile
El presente artículo pretende analizar el impacto de las políticas macroeconímocas e indigenas de la Concertación en la seguridad alimentaria familiar en unas comunidades mapuches del sector Ayjarewe de Xuf-Xuf. Con este propósito el autor reseña las tansformaciones en la macroeconomía y sistema alimenticio nacional efectuadas por el modelo neoliberal y las busca relacionar con los fenomenos locales percibidos, principalmente la asimilación del s…
Embracing hybridity
Despite the growth of the professional doctorate in education (EdD), its potential for capturing practice is restricted by academic tradition.In this hybrid paper, we argue that arts-based research (ABR) can help rectify this.We bookend the paper with creative non-fiction of our own EdD experiences, where ABR is restricted and afforded.We develop our argument through a position paper mapping the theoretical similarities of the EdD and ABR.We then…
More than a checkpoint
In the UK, all doctoral programmes are expected to include some form of periodic progression assessment, with individual institutions having autonomy to design and implement their own structures. Yet, despite the potential significance of this assessment to individual doctoral journeys, the design of progression assessment processes has previously received very limited attention. This paper reports on a study which investigated doctoral students'…
An ‘Inhumanist’ School
This review article offers an introductory overview of a distinctive broadly ‘deconstructive’ body of work which deserves to be more widely known. Two books in particular, by Claire Colebrook, Tom Cohen and J. Hillis Miller, are an especial focus, with their uncompromising readings of many of the assumptions and evasions in the environmental humanities. These are Theory and the Disappearing Future: On de Man, On Benjamin (London, Routledge, 2012)…
Introduction
Reading against the Forces of Boredom
This paper offers an anxious survey of factors inducing boredom or indifference in the readership of environmental writing and criticism. The first is the inertia of limited assumptions in writers and critics about how to engage readers’ attention, with inadequate ideas of what ‘genuine reading’ would be. Secondly and more insidiously, modern readers are usually now immersed in consumerist cultural contexts actively geared to encourage boredom as…
Processing into Dominance
In 66 CE, the emperor Nero crowned the Parthian prince Tiridates I king of Armenia before the Roman people in the Forum Romanum. Much scholarship on Roman interactions with Parthia or Armenia focuses on histories of military conflict or diplomatic negotiation. Ritual and ceremonial evidence, however, is often taken for granted. This article uses the coronation to highlight a different way in which Rome articulated its relations with Parthia and A…

Ecological Grief and Anthropocene Horror
Ecological Grief and Anthropocene Horror Timothy Clark (bio) Today every question is already the question of everything. -Maurice Blanchot This paper contrasts what it schematizes as "ecological grief" with a broader, more common but conceptually elusive phenomenon of "Anthropocene horror." "Ecological grief" was described in this issue's call for papers as "an emotional experience brought on by the actual or anticipated loss of cherished natural…
‘But the real problem is….’
This paper offers an overview of the chameleonic nature of overpopulation as an environmental issue, and of the relative evasion of population as an issue in ecocriticism and elsewhere: the very multiplicity of environmental factors means that population pressure can always seem to be finessed as “really” something else. Overpopulation looks drastically different as an issue, depending on whether it is considered at the level of the nation state,…
What on World is the Earth
This paper develops a concept of the terrestrial as an abyssal boundary to the thinkable, looking to David Wood's deconstructive eco-phenomenology. The main section deploys this concept of the terrestrial to read various accounts and images of the sight of the whole earth from space. This then suggests a reading of Derrida's arguments on the ‘fiction of the world’. This material is framed at both ends of the paper by consideration of the “Anthrop…
Blanchot and the End of Nature
Some Climate Change Ironies
This paper considers the deconstructive force of climate change in intellectual and political life, especially as it undermines and challenges the terms of consumer democracy and the liberal tradition in political thought. The first half of the paper gauges this deconstructive force in relation to Derrida's legacy, arguing that environmental questions open an arena of deconstructive events foreclosed in Derrida's own work. The second half conside…
Between Innovation and Legitimation— Boundaries and Knowledge Flow in Management Consultancy
Management consultancy is seen by many as a key agent in the adoption of new management ideas and practices in organizations. Two contrasting views are dominant—consultants as innovators, bringing new knowledge to their clients or as legitimating client knowledge. Those few studies which examine directly the flow of knowledge through consultancy in projects with clients favour the innovator view and highlight the important analytical and practica…
Configuring expert knowledge
This study defines an aspect of consultant knowledge that provides credibility without claiming unrealistic status for a field like consulting. Our focus is the “sector knowledge” that consultants accumulate which derives from repeated assignments in the industrial sector in which the client organization resides. This has been under‐researched partly because of an emphasis on knowledge as technique and method. But knowledge configured around the …
Towards A Deconstructive Environmental Criticism
Clark, Timothy. ”Towards a deconstructive environmental criticism.“ Oxford Literary Review 30.1(2008): 45-68. \n \nThis paper outlines a deconstructive environmental criticism, drawing on but also critical of the thinking of Jacques Derrida. Environmental issues enact a disrupt categories of private and public in a way even Derrida did not anticipate. The paper blends arguments on the lack of political representation of future generations, unders…

A Green Blanchot
Blanchot's work may at first seem remote from any sort of environmentalist thinking. While elements of his work share with Levinas and Heidegger a problematic privileging of the human, Blanchot nevertheless offers the basis of what might be seen as a timely ‘deeper ecological’ thinking, one that can engage the destructive anthropocentrism of Western thought and tradition in the very minutiae of its literary and philosophical texts. Unlike in much…
The Fashion of Management Fashion
In recent years there has been growing interest in the notion that management ideas and techniques are subject to swings in fashion in the same way that aesthetic aspects of life such as clothing styles, hair length, music tastes, furniture design, paint colours, and so forth are characterized by surges of popularity and then decline. Adopting a predominantly neo-institutional perspective, researchers have conceived of management fashions as tech…

The Management Guru as Organizational Witchdoctor
This paper suggests that the work of management gurus resembles the performance of a witchdoctor. Central to the work of management gurus is the achievement of transformations of consciousness among their audiences of managers. The view of management gurus offered in this paper has three elements: (1) the key to understanding the power and impact of gurus is to see what they do as a performance; (2) that this performance is of a particular kind-t…

Modern transformations of German Romanticism
French Heidegger and an english poet
Not motion, but a mime of it
Modern transformations of German Romanticism
By Heart
Any question of the sort 'what is literature?' or 'what is poetry?' seems as clumsy as it is unavoidable. Inevitably, one finds oneself resisting the question itself and the brutality of the formulae it requires ('poetry is x .. . ' ) . In Derrida's 'Che cos'e la poesia?' the poetic can be engaged only if one also acknowledges the degree to which its distinction is to evade definition and to resist identity. In a sense, the whole text is a perfor…
