Philip Sidney's 'An Apology for Poetry': A Scholarly Analysis

In this article, an attempt was made to present a scholarly analysis of “An Apology for poetry” written by Philip Sidney. Sidney in his work expressed critical guidelines to create understanding about the poetry among readers. According to him, poetry is a particular form of communication, particularly when addressing complex relationships that require additional rhetorical effort, such as persuasion and art. He subdivided the creative poetry to make a clear sense to his readers and made strong arguments about the creative nature of imitative poetry. Poetry is noble to all sciences and it comes from the poet’s heart and ideas of imagination. He defended the accusations against poetry and established the environment of understanding about poetry’s importance and excellence for his readers for the sake of the audience’s stronger development in understanding and deep effective learning.

Artificial intelligence and work transformations: integrating sensemaking and workplace learning perspectives

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the process of initial sensemaking that organizational members activate when they reflect on AI adoption in their work settings, and how the perceived features of AI technologies trigger sensemaking processes which in turn have the potential to influence workplace learning modes and trajectories.Design/methodology/approachWe adopted an explorative qualitative and interactive approach to capture free fantasies and imaginative ideas of AI among people within the industry. We adopt a conceptual perspective that combines theories on initial sensemaking and workplace learning as a theoretical lens to analyze data collected during 23 focus groups held at four large Swedish manufacturing companies. The data were analyzed using the Gioia method.FindingsTwo aggregated dimensions were defined and led to the development of an integrated conceptualization of the initial sensemaking of AI technology adoption. Specifically, sensemaking triggered by abstract features of AI technology mainly pointed to an exploitative learning path. Sensemaking triggered by concrete features of the technology mainly pointed to explorative paths, where socio-technical processes appear to be crucial in the process of AI adoption.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies that attempts to explore and conceptualize how organizations make sense of prospective workplace learning in the context of AI adoption.

Images Above All: Richard Kroner and the Religious Imagination

AbstractThis essay returns to a largely forgotten achievement of mid-twentieth-century philosophical theology, Richard Kroner’s Culture and Faith (1951) and the “philosophy of faith” presented therein. It focuses on Kroner’s idea of religious imagination as the inspired medium of revelation. It considers implications of this idea with regard to religious epistemology and theological language. In doing so, it puts Kroner in conversation with John Caputo, Iain McGilchrist, and Kroner’s friend and colleague Paul Tillich.

In Pursuit of a Good Life: Understanding Spatial Mobility After Border Changes – the Cases of Crimea and the India-Bangladesh Enclaves

ABSTRACT This paper aims to theorize and illustrate the geographic movements after border changes in sensitive spaces. This research casts sensitive spaces and stresses the pursuit of a good life building on geographical imagination as the primary purpose of spatial mobility. This paper goes beyond the prevailing idea of geographical imagination that supposes a mental-material binary and offers a ternary approach to geographical imagination, arguing for a social-mental-material triad. This research states that following border changes in sensitive spaces, spatial mobility and immobility can be better understood through this geographical imagination ternary approach: to go or to stay are local people’s workable choices for an imagined good life. A cross-case analysis of Crimea and the India-Bangladesh enclaves confirms the validity of the good life perspective.

Moving Homes, Moving Histories: Displacement and Refuge in Remi Weekes' "His House"

Abstract The past few decades have witnessed a dramatic increase in the mass movements of people across borders owing to political turmoil(s) and uprising(s). Such displacements, especially towards continents like Europe and North America, have given rise to narrative and cultural productions introducing a crucial intersection of existing socio-cultural and historical debates around the larger rubric of refugee community and culture. One such instance of South Sudan, experiencing a recent civil unrest and administrative change, leading to forced migration, has been explored through the visual and visceral cinematic experience encapsulated by Remi Weekes’ independent Netflix film ‘His House.’ The film tells an evocatively poignant story of two Sudanese refugees, seeking home and refuge, who are given asylum in Britain under various oppressive conditions. The film is, quite literally, perched on the binaries of culture, tradition and memory that go on to become the foundation of certain necessarily imaginative ideas of home and livelihood the couple builds across borders, away from their homeland. My paper would discuss the desire for ‘home’ in an asylum seekers’ life highlighting journeys and (re)production of narratives as an essential part of their trans-cultural lives. My arguments attempt to discuss the re-construction of (cross)cultural topologies and reconfiguration of space/borders. Finally, my research seeks to incorporate larger debates on myth and memory-making by negotiating space and imagination within the corporeal reality of ‘home.’

Willa Cather's Notion on Traditional American Women in the Novel My Antonia: An Approach of Genetic Structuralism

This article discusses the traditional American woman initiated by Willa Cather in the novel My Antonia. It was written in 1913 which describes the social conditions of the frontiers in the farming areas of the American West in Nebraska, Hastings, Black Hawk, Lincoln, and others. Frontiers generally still maintain traditional values in the survival of their families, especially Nebraska. The literary study method used in this article is the Genetic Structuralism Approach which emphasizes the sociological analysis of literature based on the structural meaning of literature and literary genetics. This approach is very appropriate to be used to find universal values documented in literary works which are termed vision du monde or world views. This research found Willa Cather's imaginative ideas about traditional American women in the novel My Antonia which includes aspects of performance, position, role, identity, and perspective. Traditional women's performances have the same appearance and clothing as traditional women in general in America. The traditional position of a woman is as the wife of her husband and the mother of her children. The role of traditional women is to take care of the household and to maintain the continuity of family life. Traditional women's identity is a housewife. The perspective of traditional women is to devote all their souls and bodies for family happiness, domestic harmony, and maintaining good relations with neighbors. Then Willa Cather's notion of traditional American women is full domestication and partial domestication.

The Argument of Descriptive Imagery in the Holy Quran

Objectives: This study examines the phenomenon of using the term Takheel "Descriptive Imagery" in interpreting the Holy Quran. It explores the connotations of this term and explains the reasons leading to its use by some interpreters.
 Methods: In this study, the inductive, critical, and comparative scientific methodologies were adopted. This was carried out by examining the Quranic verses from the main explications (Tafaseer) that employed the term "imagination" in interpreting the Holy Quran. We critiqued those verses considered imaginative, and compared the views of those who support and reject the idea of imagination in the Holy Quran.
 Results: The study found that the connotations of the term "imagination" vary among philosophy, literature, and rhetoric scholars. The study supports the opposing view of using this term in interpreting the Holy Quran, providing reasons and evidence for this viewpoint.
 Conclusions: The study recommended that attempting to understand the Holy Quran as a book of guidance requires avoiding the application of literary and philosophical theories in the realm of the Quran. Such theories may conflict with the divine and holy nature of the Holy Quran.

Pluralism and a Spirituality of the (Im)possible

The relationship between pluralism and spirituality is explored in the context of a specific understanding of humanism, developed by the political philosopher William Connolly. He uses the term ‘entangled humanism’ to express his ecological view on how humans relate to other forms of being, stressing the need for an attitude of partnership and care in the face of ecological crisis. To realize this non-anthropocentric form of humanism, we need our creativity and imagination, and a spiritual affinity characterized by openness and a commitment to shared goals. According to Connolly, we need a deep pluralism in which people are ready to defend their creed in public while realizing a productive ethos of political engagement with others of different convictions. We need to find one another in imaginative ideas and creative actions with regard to problems that confront us all and that are so urgent as to force us to collective action. According to Connolly, in working together, a connecting spiritual affinity can emerge. This view is elaborated upon with the help of John Dewey’s notions of moral imagination and religious trust, understood here as key elements of an entangled humanism. The article closes by describing a spirituality of the (im)possible that can be a source of inspiration for an entangled humanism that really makes a difference in our complex but rich world.

Innovations in the EU communication policy

The objectives and mechanisms of the European Union (EU) communication policy are considered. The article is based on the author's definition of the EU political myths as the main messages of its official communications, which contain imaginative ideas about the values of the EU and a guide to action to achieve the ideal. Communication policy has been studied as a tool to preserve the sustainability of EU values and to consolidate them on the agenda. A review of the official sources and the works of European think tanks allowed us to reveal its transformations in modern conditions. They consist in greater wastefulness and regularity of communications, increased requirements for communicators. Official Brussels gives priority to active communications (conferences and other forms of discussion of norms and strategies involving stakeholders) as the most effective in terms of influencing public opinion and, presumably, uses triangulation tactics. In passive communications (in reports, brochures, communitations on the results of activities), transformations consist in the establishment of mandatory organization standards and criteria for submitting information - modernity, reasonableness, added value for the EU. Taking into account the experience of the EU, recommendations are given for the EAEU.

Art-science collaborations: Generators of new ideas and serendipitous events.

An increasing number of collaborative projects between artists and scientists raises the question regarding their value, particularly when considering the redirection of resources. Here we provide a personal account of our collaborative efforts, as an artist and a scientist. We propose that one of the most significant outcomes is something that cannot be planned for in advance: serendipitous events. Such events lead to fresh perspectives and imaginative ideas, the fairy dust underlying many great works of art and science. The unexpected nature of these desired outcomes requires from us a leap of faith on the one hand, and a deep trust in our 'partner in crime' on the other.

“Hope is a Discipline”: Practicing Moral Imagination in Transformative Justice

Rather than “embracing hopelessness,” many marginalized communities understand their practices of political resistance as exercises in hope. One space of contemporary activism where this is evident is in transformative justice movements. Utilizing the idea of moral imagination as articulated in peacebuilding and conflict transformation literature, and the idea of hope as a social practice as articulated by Keri Day, I argue that a close examination of transformative justice organizing reveals hope as a social practice of embodied moral imagination practiced by communities on the margins.
