Family as a System in Crisis in Christoph Ransmayr’s Odysseus, Verbrecher. Schauspiel einer Heimkehr and Marina Carr’s Phaedra Backwards

As a part of the UIP-2020-02-3695 Analysis of Systems in Crisis and of New Consciousness in 21st Century Literature installation research project, which is being carried out at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek and is financed by the Croatian Science Foundation (https://askins21.ffos.hr/english/),1 this paper focuses on two contemporary plays of Western European literature: Odysseus, Verbrecher. Schauspiel einer Heimkehr (2010), written by the Austrian author Christoph Ransmayr, and Phaedra Backwards (2011), by the Irish playwright Marina Carr. In both plays, the authors use the original myths of Odysseus and Phaedra, reimagining them in a contemporary context in order to show the universality of their experiences, but above all to comment on the society and especially the family as a system marked by crises and conflicts instead of heroic deeds. In this light, the analysis focuses on the text and context within which the state of society and the family are explored. The research is primarily based on the sociological reflections on the system, crisis, and family, drawing on the theoretical approach of the German sociological theorist Niklas Luhmann and focusing on society and social systems. In the selected plays, the family as a specific type of system is examined as well as its dynamics in relation to social changes. In addition to the examination of thematic, compositional, and genre features of the plays, the comparative analysis will reveal their differences and similarities regarding several aspects: the self-concept in context of the family as well as the causes, manifestations, and consequences of the crisis. In other words, its effect on thecharacters and their transformations will be explored.

FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF TRANSFORMING TO SOLAR ENERGY : CASE STUDY FROM RAJARATA UNIVERSITY OF SRI LANKA

Increasing energy consumption is one of the most critical determinants of climate change. Therefore, energy efficiency strategies and the growing demand for renewable energy sources are significant to minimize the negative impacts of climate change across the globe. This study examines the current electricity consumption of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (FSSH) of the Rajarata University of Sri Lanka. It explores the potential of using solar power as a renewable energy source to meet the faculty’s electricity demand. As the university is located in a dry zone, using solar power as a renewable energy source has enormous potential. This research was based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected from academic and non-academic staff through key person interviews and students through a survey based on a structured questionnaire. Secondary data were collected from electricity bills of the FSSH and available electrical equipment data. Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) is mainly employed to examine the financial and economic viability of transforming to solar power to meet the energy requirements of the faculty. This study disclosed that the electricity consumption of the university in general and the FSSH had increased drastically during 2015 - 2018. The study found that electricity consumption creates an external cost of 31856.53 LKR as CO2 emission per year. Results of the financial CBA estimates indicate that installing a solar power system to the FSSH will generate 27,340,401.08 LKR of Net Present Value (NPV) and 1.86 of Cost-Benefit Ratio (CBR), and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 21.63%. After considering the externalities, the results of the economic CBA generate little higher estimates than the financial CBA with 27,677,889.62 LKR of Net Present Value, 1.87 of CBR and 21.81 of IRR. Therefore, it can be concluded that investing in solar energy systems for the FSSH is a financially and economically viable and environmentally sound business.
