Austerity and recovery in Ireland: Europe’s poster child and the great recession
Ambivalent Inquiry
This chapter examines the AIDS epidemic and the concomitant political and financial crises in the Republic of Congo. It describes the postcolonial, postsocialist Republic of Congo prior to the 1997 civil war, where borderland was as much metaphoric and situational as geographic and postcolonial, and where the treatment of AIDS patients was virtually impossible. The chapter discusses local ways of managing and curtailing speech about and knowledge…

Plumwood's theory, although claiming to be "contextual," involves an unnecessary degree of abstraction both in its engagement with Adams's thought and in its attempt to formulate a universal narrative. Plumwood consistently misrepresents Adams's work …

Over time, our mutual misreadings of our relationship led to conflict, undermining the shifting narratives through which we understood and represented our actions. Feelings and gestures of good will, generosity and loyalty were made ambiguous in light of a…
