Gandhi: A Man for our Times? by Judith Brown

“… Following my earlier collaboration with Martin Prozesky, my essay links with three major concerns in Prozesky’s work as he has engaged with a radical critique of religious traditions and structures in the South African context of the end of apartheid: the involvement of dominant religious traditions in sustaining power structures and inequality; the nexus between religious beliefs and organizations and violence; and the failure of many ‘religions’ to meet the needs of serious seekers after meaning and truth. …”

‘Fine, Invisible Threads’: Schopenhauer on the Cognitively Mediated Structure of Motivation by Sean T. Murphy

“…Despite this avowedly intellectualist handling of the subject, some commentators remain convinced that Schopenhauer is best read as accepting the ‘Humean truism’ that reason alone never motivates; rather, motivation always has its source in desire together with instrumental belief (Young 1987). Here, I raise some doubts for the Humean reading by arguing that it does not take sufficient account of the transformative effects of cognitive mediation, effects which support cases of non-desiderative motivation. …”

Un dispositif d’accès et de partage des avantages sans peuple autochtone ni communauté locale ou les omissions de la loi française pour la reconquête de la biodiversité by Pierre-Alain Collot 

“…The notion of local community, which is specific to environmental law, is nevertheless able of satisfying the requirements of constitutional jurisprudence since it does not consist of a community of origin, culture, language or belief. Beyond the logic inherent in the law of 08 August 2016, the recognition of local communities at the heart of the access and benefit-sharing mechanism must make it possible to correct the multiple shortcomings both in terms of access to genetic resources and traditional knowledge with regard to the sharing of benefits arising from their use.…”

The Double Death of Humanity in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road by Stephen Joyce

“…This article situates Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (2006) within the tragic frame of post-apocalyptic narratives as they began to develop in the USA in response to the Bush administration’s messianic belief in 9/11 as a form of apocalyptic moment. Whereas the comic frame of the apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic genres posits a catastrophe that could be prevented by human actions in the present, the tragic frame of the post-apocalyptic posits a situation in which the end of the world has provided no overarching meaning to human history. …”

Plotting a Path Forward: Towards a Supportive Graduate Writing Program by Keith O'Regan

“…This article reviews the effectiveness of a writing support program with an attention to questions of genre, metadiscursive awareness, disciplinary conventions, and the program’s capacity to assist dissertation writers with completing large sections of work through building feelings of self-belief and self-advocacy. By analyzing survey results, the author argues that a focus on writing process and reflection at the PhD level can be instrumental in building momentum towards completion through overcoming social isolation, by increasing students’ agency and ownership over the project, and in building graduate-level writerly confidence. …”

Locative Inversion In Discourse: a strategy of non-commitment by Christine Copy, Lucie Gournay

“…Some examples of these properties are: LI’s incompatibility with negation or epistemic modalization, strong aspectual and temporal restrictions such as its incompatibility with BE+ING or generic interpretations.In the second part of this paper, we provide a discursive analyse of LI in two actual literary contexts: i) first, when it occurs at the beginning of folktales; there, its predicative use is compared to there-sentences, the latter, we argue, being typically speaker-based predications; ii) then, when it occurs in narrative’s descriptions (for instance in crime-scene description); there, LI appears in a context of internal focalization, with the make-belief effect of referring directly to the situation described as if it was perceptible by everyone.In both cases, it appears that LI occurs in contexts where the speaker is pragmatically determined. …”
