Sensus Communis

This essay aims to reconsider the practice of art criticism. The first part aims to clear away some misconceptions that reduce art criticism to a fundamentally negative discourse that asserts a theory/practice distinction. In the second part, the essay tries to think of art criticism as collaborative writing alongside rather than about an artist. The third part, however, highlights some problems insofar as communication and collaboration have become imbricated within post-Fordist socioeconomic frameworks. In addition, the fourth part seeks to propose another direction by suggesting why art criticism and Kantian aesthetics may discover a renewed interest in one another through rethinking the sensus communis as an alternative to post-Fordist sociality.

This essay is in four parts. The first offers a critique of James Elkins and Michael Newman’s book The State of Art Criticism (Routledge, 2008) for what it tells us about art criticism in academia and journalism and feminism; the second considers how a gendered analysis measures the “state” of art and art criticism as a feminist intervention; and the third, how neo-liberal mis-readings of Linda Nochlin and Laura Mulvey in the art world represent feminism in ideas about “greatness” and the “gaze”, whilst avoiding feminist arguments about women artists or their work, particularly on “motherhood”. In the fourth part, against the limits of the first three, the state of feminist art criticism across the last fifty years is reconsidered by highlighting the plurality of feminisms in transnational, transgenerational and progressive alliances.

In the present investigation, we shall develop systematically Sarakhsrsdoctrine of Juristic preference from his Mabsut, Usul and Bab al-Muwada'aof Sharh al-Siyar al Kabir and demonstrate how Sarakhsi establishes itsrelevance as a methodological approach toward worldly affairs.The investigation is carried out in four parts:In the first part, we shall relate Sarakhsi’s doctrine of juristic preference(istihan) with his concept of treaties (muwada'a). According to Sarakhsimuwada'a is an autonomous discipline and its main focus is worldly affairsas relations (muamalat) of Muslims with other nations.In the second part, it is investigated how Sarakhsi strives to see thejustification for the application of the doctrine of juristic preference to itindependently of the doctrine of systematic reasoning (qiyas) by establishingthe ’illa (effective reasoning) of the doctrine of juristic preference on the basisof asl derived from the Qur’an and Hadith.In the third part, we shall discuss how Sarakhsi systematizes the doctrineof juristic preference by analyzing the ’illa employed by it in various formsand shows that it is connected with asl.Finally, in the fourth part, we shall show how Sarakhsi justifies theemployment of the doctrine of juristic preference as a methodological approachtoward muwadah and worldly affairs ...

AbstractThe paper is conceptually divided into four parts. In the first part the widely held view that ancient Hinduism was not a missionary religion is presented. (The term ancient is employed to characterize the period in the history of Hinduism extending from fifth century B.C.E. to the tenth century. The term 'missionary religion' is used to designate a religion which places its followers under an obligation to missionize.) In the second part the conception of conversion in the context of ancient Hinduism is clarified and it is explained how this conception differs from the notion of conversion as found in Christianity. In the third part the view that ancient Hinduism was not a missionary religion is challenged by presenting textual evidence that ancient Hinduism was in fact a missionary religion, inasmuch as it placed a well-defined segment of its members under an obligation to undertake missionary activity. Such historical material as serves to confirm the textual evidence is then presented in the fourth part.

Fourth Part

Abstract The first part of this essay treats Eriugena's concept of theophany. Because nature is to be understood as theophany, every visible and invisible creature is a divina apparitio. The second part explains that appearing nature is the metaphor of a creative principle. Metaphor is the inner structure of nature as a process of appearance and the inner structure of our speaking about nature as metaphor. The third part infers that the recognition of nature as metaphor is based upon the thinking of appearance. To understand the cause through which every phenomenon of nature becomes a metaphor means to understand the dialectic of appearing nature: it means to understand nature as apparitio non apparentis. The fourth part concludes that in moments of beauty we recognize the nature of metaphor and nature as metaphor. Beauty is the givenness of what we think as the vivid cause of appearing nature. Its cause - and beauty fundamentally - is the self-consciousness of nature as appearance. Both nature as well as beauty are nonmetaphorical metaphors of themselves.

Summary This is the second part of a four-article series containing a Mizar [2], [1] formalization of Kronecker’s construction about roots of polynomials in field extensions, i.e. that for every field F and every polynomial p ∈ F [X]\F there exists a field extension E of F such that p has a root over E. The formalization follows Kronecker’s classical proof using F [X]/<p> as the desired field extension E [5], [3], [4]. In the first part we show that an irreducible polynomial p ∈ F [X]\F has a root over F [X]/<p>. Note, however, that this statement cannot be true in a rigid formal sense: We do not have F ⊆ [X]/ < p > as sets, so F is not a subfield of F [X]/<p>, and hence formally p is not even a polynomial over F [X]/ < p >. Consequently, we translate p along the canonical monomorphism ϕ : F → F [X]/<p> and show that the translated polynomial ϕ (p) has a root over F [X]/<p>. Because F is not a subfield of F [X]/<p> we construct in this second part the field (E \ ϕF )∪F for a given monomorphism ϕ : F → E and show that this field both is isomorphic to F and includes F as a subfield. In the literature this part of the proof usually consists of saying that “one can identify F with its image ϕF in F [X]/<p> and therefore consider F as a subfield of F [X]/<p>”. Interestingly, to do so we need to assume that F ∩ E = ∅, in particular Kronecker’s construction can be formalized for fields F with F ∩ F [X] = ∅. Surprisingly, as we show in the third part, this condition is not automatically true for arbitray fields F : With the exception of 𝕑2 we construct for every field F an isomorphic copy F′ of F with F′ ∩ F′ [X] ≠ ∅. We also prove that for Mizar’s representations of 𝕑n, 𝕈 and 𝕉 we have 𝕑n ∩ 𝕑n[X] = ∅, 𝕈 ∩ 𝕈 [X] = ∅ and 𝕉 ∩ 𝕉 [X] = ∅, respectively. In the fourth part we finally define field extensions: E is a field extension of F iff F is a subfield of E. Note, that in this case we have F ⊆ E as sets, and thus a polynomial p over F is also a polynomial over E. We then apply the construction of the second part to F [X]/<p> with the canonical monomorphism ϕ : F → F [X]/<p>. Together with the first part this gives - for fields F with F ∩ F [X] = ∅ - a field extension E of F in which p ∈ F [X]\F has a root.

The purpose of this study was to find the structure janturan of the Yogyakarta shadow puppet. A further goal of this research is to find a method for learning puppetry language, especially janturan language. To achieve the above objectives, the researchers will first identify and categorize the structure of janturan carried out by Ki Hadi Sugito, Ki Timbul Hadiprayitno, Ki Suparman, and Mudjanattistomo. Second, the grammatical structure of the Yogyakarta senior puppeteers’ puppets wasthen reduced to the grammatical structure of the Yogyakarta shadow puppet show. To find the structure janturan of Yogyakarta Purwa shadow puppet, this study will apply structural analysis. The concept of tatas in chess aesthetics is the version of Soetarno et al. (2007) and the grammatical structure of the Sasangka version (1989) were used as analysis blades in this study. Janturan is the ukara-ukara (‘sentences’) kenès which are arranged in a complete, sequential, and not overlapping manner. As a ukara certainly has a grammatical structure. To be able to find the grammatical structure of scattering, the tatas concept and the grammatical theory of Javanese language are used. From the results of the study of the (grammatical) structure of the Yogyakarta senior mastermind’s succession, the following pattern is obtained: The first part is a section that contains worship. The second part of the janturan contains the greatness of the kingdom which is the center of storytelling. The third part of janturan contains the great king in the great kingdom who is the center of storytelling. The fourth part of the janturan is about the preparation of the trial and those present at the hearing. It is expected that the results of this study can improve teaching materials in thesubject of Bahasa Pedalangan, Pedalangan Rhetoric, and Basics of Pakeliran in the Pedalangan Department.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menemukan struktur janturan wayang kulit purwa Yogyakarta. Tujuan lebih jauh dari penelitian ini ialah menemukan satu metode belajar bahasa pedalangan khususnya bahasa janturan. Untuk mencapai tujuan di atas, pertama-tama peneliti akan mengidentifikasi dan mengkategorikan struktur janturan yang dibawakan oleh Ki Hadi Sugito, Ki Timbul Hadiprayitno, Ki Suparman, dan Mudjanattistomo. Kedua, struktur gramatikal janturan dalang-dalangsenior Yogyakarta tersebut kemudian direduksi menjadi struktur gramatikal janturan wayang kulit purwa Yogyakarta. Untuk menemukan struktur janturan wayang kulit purwa Yogyakarta penelitian ini akan menerapkan analisis struktural. Konsep tatas dalam estetika catur versi Soetarno dkk. (2007) dan struktur gramatikal ukara versi Sasangka (1989) digunakan sebagai pisau analisis dalam penelitian ini. Janturanmerupakan ukara-ukara (‘kalimat-kalimat’) kenès yang disusun secara lengkap, urut, dan tidak tumpang tindih. Sebagai sebuah ukara tentu memiliki struktur gramatikal. Untuk dapat menemukan struktur gramatikal janturan digunakan konsep tatas dan teori struktur gramatikal bahasa Jawa. Dari hasil pelacakan terhadap struktur (gramatikal) janturan para dalang senior Yogyakarta, diperoleh pola sebagai berikut: Bagian pertama merupakan satu bagian yang berisi tentang doa pemujaan.  Bagian kedua dari janturan berisi tentang kebesaran kerajaan yang menjadi pusat penceritaan. Bagian ketiga dari janturan berisi tentang raja agung di kerajaan besar yang menjadi pusat penceritaan. Bagian keempat dari janturan berisi tentang persiapan sidang dan yang hadir di dalam sidang. Diharapkan hasil penelitian ini dapat menyempurnakanbahan ajar mata kuliah Bahasa Pedalangan, Retorika Pedalangan, dan Dasar-dasar Pakeliran di Jurusan Pedalangan.

This chapter examines in particular the valuation of banks which can be classified into five parts. It introduces several valuation approaches to find out whether there is a superior method. This chapter starts with a description of bank regulations and their impact on bank valuations and continues with an overview of valuation approaches. The second part applies the banking sector decision Models. The third section shows banking sector valuation models. The fourth part presents the input factors that are needed to value a company. In the last part, financial statements have been used to analyze the main ratios of the Bank of America, and the calculated values were then compared over time (2014-2018) to assess the explanatory power of the bank.

Metaphysics Of Modality

The first part of this introduction sketches the main project of the book, and the structure of the arguments for my proposed quantum modal realism. The second part describes the unsatisfying present state of the metaphysics of modality, setting out what I take to be the most serious objections facing the best extant proposals. A naturalistic approach to metaphysics promises to resolve these objections by providing an account of modality that draws only on scientifically respectable theoretical resources. In the third part, I distinguish two big-picture approaches to the metaphysics of modality, and argue for the viability of an unfamiliar approach that takes the nature of contingency as the core phenomenon that a theory of modality needs to explain. In the fourth part, I explain my methodology and briefly defend the general project of naturalistic metaphysics.

‘What is art history?’ discusses the term art history and draws distinctions between it and art appreciation and art criticism. It also considers the range of artefacts included in the discipline and how these have changed over time. The work of art is our primary evidence, and it is our interaction between this evidence and methods of enquiry that forms art history. Art appreciation and criticism are also linked to connoisseurship. Although art is a visual subject, we learn about it through reading and we convey our ideas about it mostly in writing. The social and cultural issues articulated by art history are examined through an analysis of four very different works of art.

First of all, the author points out that the map materials are badly treated in the libraries. Then it presents the reasons why the cartographic series are so poorly cataloged. After this introduction, the chapter is divided into five parts. The first presents the general features, the history and the peculiarities of the cartographic series. The second part is mostly devoted to a particular category of document: the sheet indexes. It exposes how they are an essential tool to understand the geographic organization of each series. The third part deals with the statements printed on the sheets. It shows that they can be very useful but that, sometimes, they are misleading. The fourth part exposes how the new website CartoMundi takes a step forward in the world of the map libraries. To finish, the fifth part points out the futures issues of the map libraries in a changing context.
