Analyzing Sartrean Inter-subjectivity and Concept of the Look in Macbeth

Shakespeare and Sartre have a specific bond in that the Bard has portrayed the kind of tragic characters that can be the embodiment or conceptualization of existential notions. The present research intends to investigate the relations of two consciousness or Sartrean inter-subjectivity as depicted in the tragedy of Macbeth and between its tragic heroes and others. Others have a great impact on Macbeth's consciousness and his process of self-formation. When he chooses to commit murder, he attempts to conceal his crimes from others to shun from the heavy sense of shame and self-disgust (guilt) created through what Sartre calls the Concept of the Look and its alienating effect upon the individual. Macbeth's social self (being-for-others) which is portrayed in his outward relations with others is in stark contrast with his subjective self (being-for-itself) which is displayed in his myriad reflections in his soliloquies and asides. The Macbeths assume a mask to conceal their real self from others' consciousness. This article first explains the concepts of inter-subjectivity and the Look in Sartre's philosophy, and then it discusses the same notions in the context of Shakespeare's Macbeth.

청소년의 다문화 수용에서 주체적 자아(I)의 역할

Cross-cultural acceptability in youth tends to be higher than that in adults. This is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain within the general concept of socialization. It suggests that there is a unique recognition mechanism for cross-cultural acceptability in the experience of youths. This study searched for clues to the mechanism in the self concept proposed by Mead, namely, Me (the social self) and I (the subjective self). The study applied a growth curve model from the second year of middle school to the third year of high school to investigate trends in students’ cross-cultural acceptability and the influence of the subjective self as a developmental factor. Cross-cultural acceptability was analyzed by applying the Guttman scale to items measuring social distances, such as neighbors, friends, close friends, opposite gender friends, and marriage partners. The results show that cross-cultural acceptability increases in a non-linear form from the second year of middle school to the third year of high school. The subjective self significantly increases the level of cross-cultural acceptability in the second year of middle school, but as the grades increase, the influence of the subjective self on cross-cultural acceptability decreases. In cases where the subjective self is high, the function of the subjective self has already been mobilized to increase cross-cultural acceptability in the second year of middle school, and a high level of cross-cultural acceptability has been reached, resulting in its influence decreasing in subsequent grades. The results are evidence that the role of the subjective self, which awakens youths’ spontaneity, initiative, and willingness, is at work in an environment where youth are experiencing the low cross-cultural acceptability of adult society.

Queerious communities: building writing centres in Indian universities

Abstract This paper examines the new phenomenon of writing centres being made a part of universities, particularly the liberal arts private universities, in India, as growing in a way that lends it to consciously choosing queer pedagogy and to building it as a politically queer space. While some aspects of the queering of writing centres mirror the invisibilizing and the burden of proving the worth of their existence in the way queer communities are, other aspects build on what queer theory enables in terms of understanding what it takes to build communities where what is normative will continually shift what it excludes. Queer theory reminds us of the fluid and constantly reconstituting nature of identity formation whether it is based on non-binary gender identity or identities caught in the debilitating intersections of class, caste, religion, ability and sexuality. This has led to a recognition that communities formed around the learning of reading, writing and thinking, as writing centres are, are predisposed to shift focus from product to process as a move in the practice of teaching writing because it considers the individual reading-and-writing-selves present in the classroom as subjects-in-formation. This paper argues that writing pedagogy is creating queer communities because it invites and supports unsettled subjective selves to the process of knowledge production.

The Polish validation of the interpersonal generosity scale

ABSTRACT Generosity is one of the manifestations of prosocial behaviour. Despite the growing interest in generosity in psychology, there are very few questionnaires to measure this variable. One tool that has good psychometric properties is the Interpersonal Generosity Scale. The scale is used to measure generosity, understood as the sharing of resources related to subjective self, such as time, energy, attention, and emotions. The aim of the study was to adapt the Interpersonal Generosity Scale into Polish. We conducted two studies; a total of 863 people (69.6% women) were examined. To determine the psychometric properties of the scale, we performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis which revealed a bi-factor solution. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) of the IGS was satisfactory. The Polish version of the scale was significantly correlated with other psychological measures such as altruism, empathy, gratitude and forgiveness, but not with religiosity. In sum, the results showed that the Polish version of the Interpersonal Generosity Scale is a tool with good psychometric properties. We recommend its use for further research on generosity.

Factors Contributing to Work Fatigue Among Construction Workers

The construction sector is one of the work sectors with a high level of risk of danger. The activities carried out by construction workers can cause errors and work accidents which are influenced by fatigue. This research aims to understand the factors related to work fatigue in construction workers in the Drinking Water Management System Project. The research method used was an explanatory study with a cross-sectional design, with a total sample of 30 people taken using a total sampling technique. Primary data was collected by distributing standard questionnaires, namely the Subjective Self Rating Test and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) 42. Data were analyzed univariately using the frequency distribution test, bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test, and data were visualized using the Tableau Public 2022 application. From the results, the research found that age (p=0.104), education (p=0.419), and length of work (p=0.063) were not related to work fatigue, while nutritional status (p=0.042) and work stress (p=0.028) were related to the incidence of work fatigue. The research conclusion is that nutritional status and work stress are related to work fatigue in construction workers in the Drinking Water Management System Project. Suggestions to project organizers, it is necessary to carry out effective stress management and coping for workers to reduce work fatigue and maintain workers' nutritional status by providing food according to workers' calorie needs.

The Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Mental Workload and Fatigue of Students during Online and Offline Practicum

Learning activities underwent policy changes during the Covid-19 pandemic were carried out online and offline. During the Covid-19 pandemic, there were many ways that universities did to keep learning going, such as implementing online learning and online learning. Practical learning experiences changes in the teaching and learning process system due to university policies. This study aims to measure the level of mental workload and the level of student fatigue during online and offline practicums and to determine the relationship between mental workload and fatigue level. The methods used in this research are the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) and Subjective Self Rating Test (SSRT) methods.

The level of student fatigue is in the moderate classification with part of the SSRT, namely the weakening of activities. The results of the correlation test show that there is a relationship between mental workload and student fatigue levels with a positive direction of relationship.

Lower subjective socioeconomic status is associated with self-dehumanization rather than other-dehumanization: the mediating role of belief in a just world / El nivel socioeconómico subjetivo bajo no está vinculado con la deshumanización del otro sino del yo: el rol mediador de la creencia en un mundo justo

Previous studies relating socioeconomic status (SES) to dehumanization mainly focused on how low- and high-SES groups were dehumanized (i.e., as the target of dehumanization). However, studies considering the associations between perceiver’s subjective socioeconomic status (SSS) and self- as well as other-dehumanization are scarce. Furthermore, belief in a just world (BJW) is thought to be linked in these associations. Thus, the main goal of this research is to examine direct and indirect associations of individuals’ SSS and self- or other-dehumanization via BJW among 583 college students. We found SSS predicted self-dehumanization negatively. Nevertheless, the predictive effect of SSS for other-dehumanization was not significant. Additionally, BJW mediated the relationship between SSS and dehumanization. Our findings broaden the domain of dehumanization by providing evidence on the role of individuals’ SSS in the perception of their own and others’ humanity. Moreover, in light of the harm of self-dehumanization, future studies should attach importance to the role of self-dehumanization of lower-status individuals in hindering their upward social mobility.

Kierkegaard’s Conception of Subjective Self and Its Implications for Spiritual Education

Kierkegaard’s Conception of Subjective Self and Its Implications for Spiritual Education

Complicity and the Colonial Force of Law in the Courtroom of Katie Kitamura’s Intimacies

This article analyzes the account of the courtroom interpreter portrayed in Katie Kitamura’s novel Intimacies and argues that the book’s account presents the interpreter as an actor who must erase the subjective self in the service of advancing legally defensible narratives. The article contends that this vision of the interpreter, and the novel’s treatment of its judicial setting function as a critique of the colonial roles of law in both systemic and personal terms, and highlights the law’s pursuit, not of monolithic truths, but of procedurally defensible narratives.

Liminal Landscapes of Otherness: Postcolonial Interpretations of The Self and the Other in J.M. Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians

This paper presents a textual analysis of J.M. Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians within the framework of postcolonial theory with special emphasis on the dichotomy between the Self and the Other, which is embedded within the text. Frantz Fanon is credited with introducing the concept of Other in postcolonial studies. Fanon perceives the dualistic construct of Self and Other as an outcome of what he terms a ‘Manichean Delirium.’ This phenomenon engenders a profound schism in the entirety of human existence, delineating it into interconnected yet opposing dichotomies such as virtue-vice, dominator-subjugated, and Caucasian-African, wherein the presence of blackness serves to validate the identity of the white Self, simultaneously relegating the black subject to objectification. In a colonial context, the coloniser saw the colonised merely as his binary opposite. The coloniser saw himself as the subjective, conscious Self while refusing to see the Other even as human. The Other was divested of his/her humanity, was objectified, and rendered a beast by the Self. Waiting for the Barbarians engages in a profound exploration of themes surrounding power dynamics, the perpetuation of torture, and the construction of the Other, which is achieved by superimposing an arbitrary identity upon individuals who deviate from the framework of the subjective imperial Self. However, the relationship between the Self and the Other is not simply that of dominance and meek obedience, rather the relationship is always fraught with tension, resistance and even defiance. This paper seeks to discursively interpret the mutual tension between the Self and the Other, as well as the resistance mounted by the Other against the Self’s dominance that has been poignantly captured by Coetzee in Waiting for the Barbarians.

Why We Speak Up: The Effect of Preconceived Cause of Sexual Orientation on Heterosexual Engagement in the Homosexual Movement for Social Equality

Despite the increasing societal acceptance of homosexual individuals, the perception of homosexuality by heterosexual individuals is polluted by personal bias. My study observed the interaction between 422 heterosexuals and the homosexual community. First, my subjects self reported their beliefs on the determinant of sexual orientation (genetic or lifestyle). Next, they took the Activism Orientation (AO) and Sexual Prejudice (SP) Scales as a baseline measure of their relationship with members homosexual community. Subjects were randomly assigned to listen to an interview of two fictional homosexual individuals that spoke of life experience which either supported or contradicted the subjects’ self reported beliefs. Additionally, subjects were assigned to a high or low empathy condition toward the interviewee. After listening to the interview, subjects were given the choice to allocate $0 - $8,000 in support of a pro - LGBT charity. Subjects then retook the AO and SP scales to measure for significant changes in perception of homsexuals after the fictional scenario. Results indicated a significant decrease in the AO of subjects that viewed interviews that contradicted their beliefs. Additionally, subjects assigned to the low empathy condition donated significantly larger amounts. The present study has two main implications: Heterosexual individuals’ generalize their advocacy toward the LGBT community based on the actions of a singular homosexual. Furthermore, many activists naturally approach issues regarding social justice from a place of empathy, it is more sustainable to approach social justice movements from a logical perspective to allow for more meaningful and long term participation in a social justice movement.

Haruki Murakami’s Spellbinding Embodiments: Decoding the Feline Mystique

Being a vital spark in Japanese culture, cats made their way through Japanese Literature and became an imperative potion in the writings where they were often associated with mystery and incongruity owing to the rich symbolism and imagery.
