The expression of "Balanced Harmony" aesthetic paradigm in aesthetic and artistic concepts

The so-called "Balanced Harmony" aesthetic paradigm simply means that Chinese aesthetics emphasizes the reconciliation and unity between two conflicting and confronting aspects of aesthetic things and aesthetic systems, or between two extremes and two ends. The so-called "neutral" aesthetic paradigm simply means that Chinese aesthetics, when interpreting the ontology of "beauty is harmony", puts emphasis on the reconciliation and unity between the two conflicting and confronting aspects of aesthetic things and systems, or between the two poles and the two ends of the …… system, which are balanced and neutral. The so-called "neutral" aesthetic paradigm simply means that Chinese aesthetics interprets the ontology of "beauty is harmony" and regards this state of reconciliation and unity, which is balanced and neutral, as the highest ideal, principle, goal and realm of aesthetics and art. The so-called "neutral" aesthetics paradigm simply means that Chinese aesthetics pays special attention to the coupling structural relationship between things of beauty and within artistic events, pays special attention to thinking between two opposing aesthetic contradictions, and is particularly good at using the simple and dialectical "dichotomous" method to understand and explain the aesthetic world.

Локус детства и категория детствования в «Пятикнижии Ф. М. Достоевского»

The dialectics of the theme of childhood in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky is considered in correlation with the category of childhood experience in the works of N. F. Fedorov, who understood childhood as a state of universal unity and brotherhood of all people. The categorical meaning of childhood is revealed in the synthesis of philosophical and artistic-aesthetic reflections on the material of artistic literary representations in the context of the interaction of philosophy and literature in revealing the philosophical and anthropological meanings of human existence from childhood to adulthood.

On the Consolidation of Society in the Context of Geopolitical Tensions (Based on Research in the Vologda Region)

The article addresses the issue of societal consolidation viewed through the lens of public opinion within a regional community amidst a new reality shaped by a special military operation in Ukraine (SMO), intensified anti-Russian economic sanctions, and deteriorating relations between Russia and Western countries. The author examines the nuances of studying socio-political consensus in the works of foreign classics of social sciences and humanities, as well as in contemporary research by domestic scholars. Based on a synthesis of approaches, the study interprets socio-political consensus (consolidation) as a state of unity in opinions and concerted actions of political and social entities regarding fundamental values, approaches to addressing socio-political issues, and goals for state development. The empirical foundation of the study consists of data from sociological surveys conducted at both regional and all-Russian levels. Additionally, the author analyses strategic documents adopted by the country's governing bodies in 2021-2022. The article separately examines the results of monitoring the economic situation and social well-being of the population in the Vologda region (n = 1500) and data from surveys conducted by VCIOM. The analysis of the data obtained demonstrates positive shifts in the assessment of the activities of both regional and federal government institutions. It reaffirms the consolidation of Russian society around the President, indicating the population's comprehension and support of the objectives of the SMO and country's strategic goals and the decisions made in both foreign and domestic policies. These reflections mirror the socio-political consensus within the context of the new reality. The findings of the conducted research have unveiled specific characteristics in the evaluations of the regional community within the studied subject of the Russian Federation (Vologda region). The data revealed a higher level of approval for the activities of federal authorities compared to regional ones. There's a noted expansion of public-state dialogue in the country, focusing on involving civil society institutions in addressing tasks related to safeguarding national interests and overcoming crucial socio-economic problems amid increasing geopolitical tensions. It was identified that a significant indicator of societal understanding of the country's leadership's chosen political course is the consistently low level of protest potential and a substantial reserve of patience, alongside growing assessments of cohesion within Russian society, an increase in constructive social activity, and the demonstration of active citizen consolidation.

Corporate Social Irresponsibility, an Elastic Wall, and a Fragile State: Sign of Hope’s Unfinished Quest to Mitigate Human Rights Violations in South Sudan

Abstract This piece recounts the efforts by NGO Sign of Hope (SoH) to rectify human rights violations in South Sudan, which manifested themselves as drinking water pollution by the oil industry. Committed to exposing and remediating this water contamination, SoH was able to prompt the automobile company Daimler’s CSR to engage in extended dialogue with the oil industry stakeholders in Unity State. Despite a tactful use of various methods ranging from cooperation to confrontation, SoH’s campaign did not lead the oil producers to reverse the harm inflicted on the people of Unity State. When SoH tried to hold these companies accountable, SoH had the impression that it was hitting an elastic wall. This piece identifies lessons which may help to counter corporate human rights violations and compensate for the weakness of CSR in fragile states and in the face of corporate irresponsibility.

Interaksi Sosial antara Remaja Muslim dan Kristiani di Kelurahan Sei Sikambing B Medan

Christians in the Village of Sei Sikambing B Medan. Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. Social interaction during adolescence is very important, because there are many developmental prerequisites that must be met during this period, namely physical development, psychological development, and especially social development. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The phenomenological approach is related to the understanding of everyday life and the intersubjective world (life world) of participants. Phenomenological research tries to explain or reveal the meaning of concepts or phenomena based on the awareness of experiences that occur in several individuals. In this research the instruments used are observation, interviews and documentation. Then the data were analyzed with qualitative research analysis. The results of the study show that the form of social interaction between Muslim and Christian adolescents leads to an associative process characterized by positive forms of social interaction that lead to a state of harmony and social unity.

Changes and variability in rainfall onset, cessation, and length of rainy season in the IGAD region of Eastern Africa

Rainfall onset dates (ROD), rainfall cessation dates (RCD) and length of rainy season (LRS) are crucial for crop production and food security in Eastern Africa yet scantily documented. This paper seeks to investigate the spatial patterns of these parameters. Data used are Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS v2.0) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) gridded temperature. Threshold of 1 mm for rainy day, 20 mm over 5 days with at least 3 rain days and dry spell not exceeding 7 days in the next 21 days were used to determine RODs. The Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) and Water Balance (WB) criteria were computed to determine RCDs. The differences between ROD and RCD were used in calculating LRS. The results showed early rainfall cessation over more than 30 counties in Kenya lead to shortened rainy season by 10–20 days during MAM season. Similarly, 20–40 days early onset dates are observed in most counties in upper Nile, Unity, and Jonglei states in South Sudan, while 20–40 days delayed rainfall onset was observed in Khartoum and southern parts of Nile state western Darfur, eastern and Aljazeera states in Sudan, most parts of Ethiopia and Eritrea districts during JJA season. Highlands of western and Nyanza region in Kenya, most parts of Uganda observed rainfall onset by March and no sign of cessation before November. Early cessation over northern Uganda districts was behind shortened LRS, furthermore, the early RODs over western and southwestern Uganda districts increased LRS. Prolonged dry conditions over northern Sudan, southeastern parts of South Sudan, northern Kenya, central Somalia, northern Darfour, Kordofan and northern parts of Sudan exacerbated by significant delayed onset and early cessation of rainfall. These findings are important for rain-fed agricultural planning and food security in the IGAD region of Eastern Africa.

On Liang Qichao's Theory of "Self"

Liang Qichao is one of the greatest thinkers in modern times. His theory of "self" mainly consists of three parts: the relationship between body and mind, the relationship between group and self, and freedom. In the relationship between body and mind, he mainly discusses the different connotations of life self and spiritual self, as well as the state of physical and mental unity that Liang Qichao's relationship between body and mind ultimately wants to achieve. In the relationship between group and self, through the discussion of "larger self" and "smaller self", Liang Qichao tries to reconcile "group and self" and achieve the unity of group and self, Finally, after discussing the connotation of freedom, Liang Qichao attached importance to groups, but he believed that group freedom was the goal and individual freedom was the starting point. Therefore, new citizens should achieve freedom by eliminating "heart slaves".

STRATEGI PEMERINTAH DAERAH GUNA MEWUJUDKAN NILAI-NILAI MULTIKULTURALISME DALAM PERSPEKTIF KETAHANAN WILAYAH (Studi Kasus Di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta)

Abstract – The values of multiculturalism in Indonesia were born along with the awareness of the nation’s children to expel the invaders from ths archipelago with the spirit of togetherness, sharing the same fate, and the desire to leave regional traits that have been proven unable to expel the invaders from this motherland. It ie from this spirit of togetherness rooted in diversity that brings the Indonesian people to gates of Indonesian. Independence, United, sovereign, just and prosperous. The spirit of multiculturalism values that are still being guided by all Indonesian people are the value of mutual respect, the value of mutual tplerance, the value of unity, the value of cooperation, and the value of solidarity that must be nurtured ang maintaied. The Special Region of Yogyakarta is part of the unity state of the Republic of Indonesia, which has an attarction for the Indonesian people themselves ang the world community to visit and get to know Yogyakarta up close. The city which is attached to the nickname as a city of culture, tourism city. And student city is supported by a culture of inhabitants who are always grateful and accept the nature that has been given by the Almighty, to the low cost of living. Yogyakarta has its own magnet as must-visit area ini Indonesia. The present of foreign culture ini Yogyakarta that is able to blend in with local culture ang grow and develop in the surrounding community, so it is not an exaggeration if Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X (Governor of DIY), said that “Yogyakarta is a miniatur of Indonesia”. The negative side of the presence of foreign culture to Ypgyakarta is the inability of local culture to blend in with the culture of immigants, which is precisely the diversity or plurality in Yogyakarta that can lead to conflict that lead to social unrest. Migrant communities who still bring the original culture of the region to Yogyakarta which may not necessarily be accept by culture of the people of Yogyakarta. There needs to be stategy from the Yogyakarta Regional Government in order to realize the values contained in Multiculturalism in the perspective of region resilience in Yogyakarta.

Государственно-правовой смысл Всеславянского союза при современном цивилизационном кризисе (к 200-летию Н. Я. Данилевского)

Abstract: The current civilizational crisis of ideology makes peoples join their efforts in search for adequate responses to the challenges of the time. The modern modeling of new state and legal forms of civilizational unity uses abstraction, analysis and synthesis, as well as specific historical and comparative legal approaches. Observation of political and legal processes makes it possible to hypothesize on the transformations of modern civilizational states. The present article features various possible forms of Slavic state unity. The authors used N. Ya. Danilevsky's scientific heritage to consider the theoretical and legal issues of pan-Slavism, as well as the civilizational contradictions between various Slavic peoples and between Russia and the West. The paper introduces three prospective levels of a Pan-Slavic unity. The first one presupposes Slavic self-identification with the preservation of the common folk spirit and the interpenetration of Slavic cultures. The second level involves an interstate confederation of Slavic states. The third level is a Slavic Federation of Russia, Belarus, and Serbia. The authors believe that a legal pan-Slavic unity is possible if it maintains different levels and forms. The existing European constitutional and state-building experience proves that unified political regimes and social systems are less important than an international legal mechanism for harmonizing pan-Slavic interests in Europe. This mechanism should be aimed at preserving the traditional closeness and mutual influence of Slavic cultures, art, everyday life, and mentality. This pan-Slavic interstate mechanism could coordinate the interests and stabilize the development of Europe. The Pan-Slavic union state is possible if individual Slavic states consolidate their civil and political will on their unification with Russia.

Cattle to cash: Changing marriage practices among displaced people in Bentiu, South Sudan

Even during armed conflict and displacement, weddings continue, as people enter into marriage and adapt the processes and rituals associated with this milestone. In this paper, we trace the changes to marriage practices in the Bentiu Protection of Civilians site and adjacent areas of Rubkona and Bentiu towns in South Sudan's Unity State. Specifically, we ask how, in the context of armed conflict and displacement, the shift from a cattle-based economy to one entailing greater use of cash has affected the meanings and processes of marriages. We highlight changes to bridewealth, and corresponding shifts in the engagement of relatives, community members and social networks in the rite and process of marriage. We argue that these changes both challenge social norms around the ties and broader connections that result from marriages and potentially highlight opportunities of agency for those entering a marriage during displacement. This analysis contributes to a growing body of literature that adopts a relational understanding of survival during displacement and underscores the importance of taking social connectedness seriously in the study of armed conflict.

이북명 소설에 나타난 노동 현실 연구

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in the labor reality in Lee Buk-myeong's novels according to social situations. Novelist Lee Buk-myung started as a literary writer who embodies the vivid reality of workers lives in relation to the Bolshevik line of KAPF in the colonial era. His literary flow can be brought up by the following periodical segmentation. First, in the novel by Lee Buk-myung, the oppression mechanism that he directly or indirectly experienced while working as a worker at the Joseon Nitrogen Fertilizer Factory in Noguchi(野口) Konzern for three years from 1927 is concretely embodied. This is embodied labor reality of factory environment full of noise and stench, industrial accidents related to injuries, diseases and deaths, layoffs and unauthorized dismissals through physical examinations, and ethnic discrimination resulting from duties, wages, and various types of treatment. Second, it is possible to find the labor reality symbolized by the accumulation mechanisms in which capital and imperial ideology continuously tame workers and the aspect of worker resistance at the points of awakening that reject it. These acclimation mechanisms are achieved in the Joseon Nitrogen Fertilizer Factory through religious magazines that exhort integrity and diligence based on Protestant ethics. However, the tragedy of a colleague who eventually dies due to an industrial accident and unlawful dismissal becomes a trigger for the workers to start the May Day struggle. In addition, it criticizes the acclimation mechanisms of the imperial educational ideology through the narrative in which an individual who has been disciplined by the ethics of integrity and honesty under the general education system of Japanese imperialism quickly turns to an action based on traditional and instinctive agent in a dramatic crisis situation. Third, Lee Buk-myung's work, written as part of a production novel, a national literature that was forced on writers under the wartime mobilization system at the end of the colonial period, was intended to be a narrative of irony in order to indirectly criticize it under the oppressive situation of patriotism in the rear. It seems to follow the logic of the Japanese imperialist patriotism in the rear by using a sick engineer with no field experience, but implicitly, not only was I touched by the tenacious life of grassroots, not the spirit of protecting the country with electricity. Ironically, he criticizes the labor reality of wartime mobilization under the new system of Konoe(近衛)'s cabinet by causing bitter laughter by his weak and sloppy behavior as an engineer. Fourth, the period of peaceful construction that came along with the liberation and the rapidly changing labor reality under the post-war reconstruction construction and socialist political system is eloquent as the typical form of labor ethic of state socialism. This leads to the strengthening of a work ethic of selflessness that taboos individual desires and turns all labor into social work, and leads to a monolithic leadership system that follows it like a halo. Therefore, whole society is transformed into a factory state in the state of unity of ‘life=labor’ and ‘individual=nation(people)’ by driving all individual lives into a social plaza. In order for this work ethic to permeate all parts of society and for the state to become a factory for production, education and agitation work must start from the family, the smallest unit of society, and the ячейка unit within the factory. Public labor as a product of forced ideology and refinement, and propaganda novels written in the dimension of public-refinement, to reinforce it, can be said to be another acclimation mechanism that forms the fundamental basis of North Korea's view of labor and art.

Acute flaccid paralysis surveillance performance from 2011 to 2020 in Jonglei State, South Sudan: progress and challenges encountered.

IntroductionSouth Sudan reported the last indigenous wild poliovirus (WPV) in 2001 in Unity State, while the country was part of Sudan. In addition, the country reported an imported case of WPV in 2004-2005 and 2008-2009. The WPV circulation in the state was interrupted in 2009 and the last case was reported in Ayod county. The country continues to be at risk of importation of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2). In 2014 and 2020 the country experienced an outbreak of cVDPV2, in which Jonglei state was one of the affected states. Four out of 50 (8%) cVDPV2 cases in 2020 were reported from Jonglei State. The purpose of this study is to review surveillance performance indicators of Jonglei and compare them with the WHO surveillance performance standard and other country´s surveillance performances.Methodsretrospective secondary data analysis was conducted using the Jonglei state Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) surveillance case-based database from 2011 to 2020. The reason for selecting Jonglei is because it is one of the poor performing states and is chronically hit by flood and internal conflicts. Data analyses were carried out using the Microsoft Excel (2016) program, where descriptive analysis frequencies, tables, and graphs were generated.Resultsthe study revealed that 346 AFP cases were reported in the counties of Jonglei state from 2011 through 2020. Out of 11 counties, 11 (100%) of them have reported suspected AFP cases. Children under five years accounted for 275 (79%) of all cases. The male gender accounted for 175 (51%) of all cases. A total of 249 (72%) had received three or more doses of Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV). Non-Polio Acute Flaccid Paralysis (NPAFP) rate varies from 1.2 in 2014 to 4.4 cases per 100,000 children under 15 years in 2018. The stool adequacy ranges from 58% in 2020 to 100% in 2011.Conclusionthe performance of Jonglei´s AFP surveillance system did not meet the WHO recommended target for both major AFP surveillance indicators (non-polio AFP rate and stool adequacy) during the study period.

About the motives of hell, purgatory, and paradise in the works of F.M. Dostoevsky

The article examines the philosophical and metaphysical ideas of Dostoevsky in comparison with the images of Dante’s “Divine Comedy”. The comparison is based on the theurgic approach to art advocated by both artists, which assumes that art is designed to serve the transformation of man and reality. At the same time, art is called upon to communicate to a person the truth of life, which can become an effective program for his life. Such a truth is the state of universal unity (All-in-One), which is also the state of universal love. Aiming to show the content of this truth and the ways to achieve it, Dostoevsky unfolds in his work a panorama of hell, purgatory, and paradise not as separate areas of being, but as three dimensions of a single reality. The above considerations were accompanied by references to the works of Vyacheslav Ivanov, who convincingly substantiated the comparison of Dostoevsky with Dante, as well as reminiscences from the works of Vladimir Solovyov, who embodied Dostoevsky’s ideas about universal love into the philosophical concept of universal unity.

A State of (Dis)unity and Uncertain Belonging: The Central African Republic and its Muslim Minority

Abstract This article examines how existing in a larger socio-political environment of contested national belonging shapes Muslims’ experiences in the Central African Republic (car). We draw on data gathered between 2017 and 2019 from various archival sources and in-depth interviews with Muslim religious leaders and non-Muslims in car’s capital, Bangui. We argue that through claims to autochthony a dual logic of exclusion co-occurs which shapes how Muslims experience their minority status. First, national level autochthony debates frame Muslim minority exclusion from the Central African national imagination. Second, at the Muslim intra-communal level, and particularly among religious leaders, autochthony encapsulates debates over “authentic” Muslimhood – fuelled not by contestation over Islamic practice and interpretation, but rather historical contestation based on ethnic exclusion. Specifically, we show that claims to “proper” Central African Muslimhood are premised on autochthony embedded in a dominant myth of primary settlement advanced by certain Muslim leaders.

Geopolitička orijentacija partija u Bosni i Hercegovini

Some time ago an anonymous commentator on one of the portals in Bosnia and Herzegovina wrote: 'The Serbian, Croatian, and Bosniak blocks of political parties are united only by Annex 4 of the Dayton Peace Agreement. Everything else separates them.' Such a general assessment seems unacceptable to researchers at first glance. Yet, anyone with a more profound knowledge of political parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina will largely agree with this thesis. It seems that the fate of the pluralistic space of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has supervised sovereignty (through the action of the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina) and an approved Constitution (imposed through the intervention of the United States of America in Dayton), is that it is not united by social values, by the basic political agreements of its elites, and not even by shared economic gain. An impossible state is the best diagnosis of Bosnia and Herzegovina, claimed by Nenad Kecmanović, and unstable and unfinished, claimed by almost all those informed on the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main thesis of this paper is that the geopolitical orientation of political parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which we investigate through their programmess and political practice, is a good way to show its internal antagonisms and the reasons for the impossibility of achieving unity, a stable and functional state. The conflict in Ukraine adds to the relevance of this paper, to which political parties and actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina heve expressed their respective stances. The paper is a methodological combination of two scientific fields: political theory and international relations.

Education and psyche homeostasis tricks

The author shows that homeostasis as a dynamic constancy of the composition and properties of the internal environment and the stability of the basic physiological functions of the body brings each person emotional comfort, a feeling of internal stability, a felt sense of calmness and achieved success. It, like nothing else, expresses as a natural goal the desire of the body to precisely such a state when everything that happens in the body is in a state of harmonious unity and conformity, when there is no need to eliminate anything or to specially concentrate one’s efforts that requires and creates uncomfortable tension. And it is no coincidence that the famous psychologist W. Cannon considered the state of homeostasis to be a manifestation of the "wisdom of the body". Feeling the need to satisfy this or that need, which irresistibly leads to changes, the organism as a whole seeks to maintain or create a homeostatic "status quo", and not to retard development in general, but to keep the onset homeostasis state as long as possible. And it is precisely this stage that is a certain stage of the achieved development that is so necessary for the organism. From these positions, as a specific methodology, the author considers the contradiction between the theories of reproductive and developmental education.

Magnitude and associated risk factors for low birth weight in Bentiu State Hospital in Unity State, Republic of South Sudan

Background: Low Birth Weight which is birth weight of less than 2500g remains a significant public health problem from short to long term consequences. It is responsible for significant neonatal morbidities, mortalities and disability in infancy and childhood which is associated with long term impact on health outcomes in later life. Methods: The study used facility based cross sectional study design that involved 285 postpartum mothers and 285 newborns in Bentiu Hospital, South Sudan. Sample size was determined using Kish Leslie’s formula of 1965. Purposive sampling technique was used to sample postpartum mothers at birth. Key Informants (10) were purposively selected from the hospital and data was collected using semi-structured questionnaire and key informant interview guide (KIIG). Data was entered into Epi-Info v3.3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 for statistical analysis at 95% confidence interval. Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to analyze the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Statistically significant variables with probability values less than 0.05 were re-analyzed at multivariable logistic regression into odds ratios with subsequent 95% confidence intervals. Meanwhile, qualitative data were organized in ATLAS Ti and content analyzed into themes to aid triangulation. Results: There were 285 mothers studied with mean age of 25 years, most mothers were aged between 20-24 and 25-29, 84(29.5% and 83(29.1%) respectively. Majority 219(76.8%) were married. LBW prevalence of 23.5% (67) [N=285, 95% CI: 0.187-0.287] while the majority 218(76.5%) of the postpartum mothers had normal weight babies. In Multivariable logistic regression, mothers aged 25-29 (AOR=7.17, 95%CI: 1.176-43.765, p=0.033), those aged 30-34 (AOR=10.73, 95%CI: 1.629-70.743, p=0.014) and those ≥35 years (AOR=4.34 95%CI: 0.622-30.292, p=0.138) were significantly associated with LBW. Business women (AOR=0.19 95%CI: 0.055-0.682, p=0.011) and those in salaried employment (AOR=0.19 95%CI: 0.039-0.921, p=0.039) were less likely to have LBW babies. Low social support was significantly associated with LBW (AOR=3.65 95%CI: 1.77-7.525, p 4 ANC attendance were 68.99 times more likely to produce LBW compared to those with less than four visits (AOR=68.99 95%CI: 1.021-4661.183, p=0.049). Mothers with no pregnancy complication experience were less likely to bear LBW was (AOR=0.42 95%CI: 0.181-0.994, p=0.048). Mothers who did not take folic acid (AOR=4.82, 95%CI: 2.233-10.392 p<0.001) and antibiotics (AOR=8.74 95%CI: 3.597-21.248 p<0.001) during pregnancy were 4.82 and 8.74 times more likely to give birth to LBW babies compared to those who were given and consumed it. Conclusion: Low Birth Weight was high at 23.5%, late reproduction, low social support, pregnancy complications, lack of social support, not taking folic acid and antibiotics increased prevalence of LBW. Reproducing at right age, providing social support, preventing pregnancy complications, ensuring access and intake of folic acid and antibiotics during ANC at health facility and during community outreaches can have valuable influence on pregnancy outcome.

Wordsworth’s Self-Composure

Abstract This essay examines William Wordsworth’s attraction to fractious and perplexing selfhood. Attending to the often overlooked riches of the Cornell edition of Wordsworth’s poetry, I argue that the poet’s sense of the self is more than a straightforward aspiration towards organic creation. Recent scholarship has cast Wordsworth’s processes of revision as an effort to create continuity between his past and present selves. Memory, in this respect, becomes an instrument to invest back into original moments of creation. It is my contention that Wordsworth is instead fascinated by a self that cannot be drawn together neatly. I also consider the psychological contexts of Wordsworth’s writing. Contemporary theorizations of memory were sometimes too quick in reforming the fragmentary aspects of memory into a positive state of unity. Wordsworth’s poetic and compositional practices, then, challenge the stricter divisions in the eighteenth century between undesirable and splintered forms of selfhood and the more unified kinds of self, which usually rely on fulfilling a telos. Teleological views of selfhood, in Wordsworth’s eyes, are insufficient to account for the contingencies and happenstance that are natural and attractive aspects of experience. As this essay suggests, his practice of revision often thrives on the unpredictable elements of composition and drawn on by an attraction to the unknown.
