Writing against the abyss: An exergue

“Archive”, from the Greek word arkheion, signals a place of commencement and commandment (Derrida, 1995a). Dig deep enough into the etymology of “archive” and there is water (Crowcroft, 2022). This creative-critical essay takes a speculative approach to understanding my late mother’s literary archives, which are locked in storage overseas. Derrida would say that as guardian of the archive, my purpose is curation. This essay serves as an exergue to that exercise, by setting the stage and establishing a prearchival lexicon through citation (Derrida, 1995a). Through writing memory, speculation and theory, scaffolded by narrative threads of bodies and loss, this essay languages the relationship between mother and daughter and archive. It adopts the form of a braided essay (Miller, 2013; Miller & Paola, 2004; Walker, 2017) titrating between narrative threads and critical theory to “see what is displaced” (Eades, 2015, p. 31), allowing for fragmentation that reflects broken bodies in a broken world (Walker, 2017), abjection (Kristeva, 1982) and ugliness (Ellis, 2018), the formation of cellular writing or écriture cellulaire (an extension of Eades’s écriture matière), and prepositioning trauma (Rendle-Short, 2021). Hope becomes a matter of survival, of writing around, against and through, in wave after wave, in order to leave no space for the abyss (Cixous, 1991).

Raising research possibilities on Fintechs from the SME’s Innovation Management and Penrose Firm Growth theory approaches

The emergence of Fintechs as competitors in the financial industry has created a debate concerning their ability to compete with traditional banking institutions. There is the advantage of using virtual platforms, which makes possible to reach a wider public. Fintechs deal with investors and other stakeholders, with innovation, differing from traditional institutions. Also, they face threats that come from frauds and regulation issues. So, to propose ways to study fintechs, this article aims to build research questions and possible topics for future studies in fintechs, using as basis the Innovation Management and Penrose’s Theory of Firm Growth. The methodology used was a literature review with documental analysis, in the form of essay, describing two theoretical axes, in order to find connection between the theories. According to Bense (1947), the essay discusses the development of new theories and studies, focusing on the object and finding different views. The objectives were achieved, making possible to present research questions from the theories. The findings showed that there is an incipient connection between both theories, where few studies point to the possibility of explaining the behavior of small firms (fintechs) using elements from both theories. This research is limited by the scope, to focus on an specific type of firm (fintech), and by the difficulty in establish parameters for the selection of representative works in each field. The novelty in this paper is to propose the use of these theories as basis for a new approach in the study of fintechs.

Word Formation Processes Found on Shopee Live Streaming


 Language is always developing and changing. It can be marked by the emergence of new words or new terms that come from various ways. A very striking development of new terms occurred in the field of commerce. Sellers often choose unique or catchy terms or words to entice buyers to join their live stream. With limited words they can type as their live Shopee title, sellers focus on communicating effectively and efficiently. This study aims to analyze several types of word formation processes found on Shopee Live streaming following the theory from Yule (2006). This research is expected to increase understanding of the word formation process contained in Shopee Live streaming. This research method is descriptive qualitative. Data were taken from written texts; such as titles that appear on Shopee Live Streaming and those performed by different Shopee sellers and then they were analyzed in the form of essays. The texts to be analyzed appear on the top left of the buyer's screen while the streaming is in progress. The findings showed that there were 219 words with a variety of formation processes. Borrowing, which involved 131 data, was the most dominant type used by the sellers. By this research, it is hoped that it can explore something that is developing in the community regarding the phenomenon of the use of new words or the mixing of words from Indonesian with English or with local languages, especially on online marketplace.
 
 

The ethics of care and pediatric palliative care: a potential dialogue

This article, in an essay format, seeks to establish a dialogue between the ethics of care and pediatric palliative care, taking into consideration the fact that moral perceptions are based on a network of relationships, while care is built on intersubjectivity. Four pillars that are referred to as movements are discussed: the ethics of care, as a feminist ethic, in a dialogue with pediatric palliative care, and communication and autonomy as tools of care based on their relational aspects. The conclusion drawn is that considering these aspects from a palliative standpoint can be a way to implement a moral commitment of care.

Introduction

Introduction

Memory and Reflection

Abstract This article discusses five little-known texts by Czesław Miłosz that remained unpublished until 2020. Written between 1946 and 1968, they have been recovered from archival collections only recently and published in Miłosz's Z archiwum. Wybór publicystyki z lat 1945–2004 [From the archive: Selected journalistic writings, 1945–2004]. My discussion focuses on Miłosz's statements concerning the Holocaust, with particular emphasis on the Warsaw Ghetto uprising (April-May 1943). I argue that the testimonies left by Miłosz in the form of poems, essays, and journalism create a community of memory, while also revealing empathy and solidarity with the victims of genocidal violence. Miłosz emerges here not only as an eyewitness to the atrocities and a firm opponent of antisemitism, but also as a moral witness. Despite some controversies of a personal and political nature, a telling example of Miłosz's attitude towards the Jewish insurgents who died in Warsaw are his words in a 1979 letter to Jerzy Giedroyc: “I will not be able to cope with my life because an honest man should have gone to the Warsaw ghetto and died there.”

Climate Change Interactive Teaching Materials to Enhance Students' Critical Thinking Skills and Science Attitude

The skills needed in the 21st century are basic literacy, competence, and character. Critical thinking skills are one of the competencies and attitudes of science which is part of the character. The research aims to enhance students' critical thinking skills and science attitudes using interactive teaching materials on Climate Change. This quasi-experimental research was conducted in one of the junior high schools in Bogor involving 42 students in the experimental class and 41 students in the control class. Data collection uses critical thinking skills tests in the form of essays, science attitude questionnaires, and student response questionnaires. The data collected were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The results showed that students who used interactive teaching materials had a higher average N-gain than the control class. The results of the t-test show that there are significant differences in critical thinking skills. The students' scientific attitude showed a meaning that was not much difference between students who used interactive teaching materials and those without them. Students gave a positive response to climate change interactive teaching materials in science learning.

Breach: A Trans*textual Essay

The author engages the essay form and body in this creative nonfiction essay as trans*textual. A trans*textual essay, as methodological and literary, attends to textual movement and a textual body lacking traditional cohesive devices, such as transitional sentences and naming practices. This article’s approach to the essay privileges ambiguity and not-knowing by using common security questions to authenticate identity in digital spaces in order to structure a personal history. Wrong body and wrong name discourse often oversimplify trans* experience. Taking “identity theft” as its initial provocation, this article unpacks the complexity of naming, identity, intimacy, erasure, and personal history.
