Culture and the much-more-than-human: the case of colloids by Szerszynski Bronislaw

“…In this paper I try to identify a minimal definition of culture that might be applicable in the much-more-than-human realm that extends beyond organic matter and human involvement. I speculate that culture conceived in this broad way might be a metapattern or ‘machinic solution’ available to matter of diverse kinds, organic and inorganic. …”

« Un néant follement attifé » : macabre et grotesque dans Mesure pour Mesure by Sophie Chiari

“…Thus, the play presents us with a whole series of frail and disquieting characters, and the medieval theme of the Dance of Death running throughout the tragicomedy reveals the vanity of their speeches and attitudes. Therefore, beyond its festive characteristics, the Shakespearean grotesque is particularly dark, and it underlines flaws whose tragic dimension will be clearly seen in a play like King Lear.…”

Is fides quaerens intellectum a scholarly enterprise? Some thoughts on confessional theology at a public university by Gerrit Brand

“… In the context of reflection in South Africa about the place of confessional theology at public universities, and in critical conversation with positions defended by thinkers like Hans Albert, Gerhard Ebeling, Ben Vedder, Vincent Brümmer and Gijsbert van den Brink, a case can be made for a legitimate place at public universities for a theology that goes beyond merely describing and analysing faith to evaluate religious points of view and suggest new ways of expressing faith drawing from a specific faith tradition, thereby serving not only the academy and broader society in general, but also specifically a faith community. …”
