In plural demonstrations of dualistic patterns, this novel emphatically unravels Coetzee's textual subversion of the traditional overarching"western logocentrism"or"metaphysics of presence"via catechizing and debilitating the orthodoxy of the white supremacy as well as the male superiority.This detailed analysis, giving a Derridean reading, purports to anatomize and deconstruct the binary oppositions of Self/ Other,White/Black, and Man/Woman among Cruso, Friday and Susan Barton, and reach Coetzee's veritable concerns: to dissolve the Imperialist hierarchy and hegemony, to waive racial enclosure, and to build a dialogue that open up a real respect and coexistence for both the centered and the marginalized.展开更多

The common motto is the idea of gift. The gift of the death of Christ in the economy of salvation is the target of Derrida＇s deconstruction. Anselm himself enables this. However, there is in Anselm＇s theology of Trinity a metaphysics of the gift of being and of being other, elaborated with regard to the procession of the Holy Spirit. And it is possible to submit the original gift of the Holy Spirit to the same kind of deconstruction, that is, of economic reduction, to which the gift of the death of Christ had been submitted. But both the construction and the deconstruction of the theology of gift resort to the same kind of analogy procedure. And economy does not enable us to think the gift as purely as does theology.展开更多

These recompositions, probably copied in the third quarter of the 16th century, were made after the previously copied Buus＇s ricercari in Music Manuscript 48 （P-Cug MM 48） of the same library, which were based on the Libro primo de ricercari a quattrovoci, published in Venice in 1547 by Antonio Gardane. In this paper, the author intend to focus in two main aspects of the research done on this subject. The first topic concerns the score-format of both manuscripts 48 ＆ 242, which testify the instrumental activity in mid-sixteenth century Portugal. The author will demonstrate that this format served once, in the Santa Cruz Monastery in Coimbra, as a didactic tool in the teaching of counterpoint through the music of a northern European master such as Jacques Buus. The copies in the manuscripts were never intended to be used as a performing support--they contain many errors of vertical coordination between the voices that make the performance impossible. The second topic focuses on Buus＇ recomposed ricercari, which were the object of many cuts, brief recomposed bridges, newly inserted sections, and written glosa figurations. Through these recompositions, the author will describe the theoretic assimilation of formal processes, of style, mode, counterpoint and performing practice. The achievement of this paper is to offer historic musicology researchers a new perspective about the enormous influence that Buus＇ ricercari from his Libro primo.., had in the learning processes of music composition and in the development of didactic and performing practices in the Santa Cruz Monastery in Coimbra, during the mid-sixteenth century.展开更多

Among many promoters of this intellectual trend, Gan Yang, together with his slogan of the ＂fusion of three traditions,＂ is indeed most influential. This study employs Lacanian psychoanalytic technics to tackle Gan Yang＇s thesis, treating the latter not just an object for textual analysis, but more deeply （and fruitfully）, that for psychoanalysis. The findings of the study reveal the presence of a fantasmatic structure framing and guaranteeing Gan＇s （sharply inconsistent） vision of China＇s civilizational subjectivity. Such fantasmatic formation can be referred to as the ＂Great Dragon fantasy＂-a fantasy about China＇s civilizational unity and glory.展开更多

Peirce as a playful thinker but also an account of play as that upon which much turns. He was, after all, a philosopher who in his maturity insisted, "a bit of fun helps thought and tends to keep it pragmatical." In doing so, however, Peirce showed in his youth how evasions of responsibility might, in their own way, often be instances of engagement at once playful and more deeply responsible than any attempt to meet the formal expectations of external authority. For the account of play as pivotal, the author draws upon Cornelius Castoriadis and, to a far greater extent, John Dewey. Moreover, he explores an apparently stark contrast between the Peircean emphasis upon habit and the Derridean celebration of play, showing that the opposition is not as thoroughgoing as it might appear. Interweaving Dewey's insights with Peirce's, the author highlights the power of intense play to melt the rigidity of sedimented habits and, thereby, to generate opportunities for habit-change. This suggests that the capacity to act in an imaginative or creative way both ineluctably draws upon habits but also inevitably modifies, often in a dramatic manner, these habits. If the ultimate logical interpretant of a sign-process is, as Peirce suggests, a habit-change, then play is truly pivotal for seeing one of the most important ways in which such alteration takes place.展开更多
