It has been one of Eric Saylor’s academic objectives to draw scholarly attention to this repertoire. He has published articles on this topic before, but English Pastoral Music: from Arcadia to Utopia, 19001955 is the first recent major publication that takes musical pastoralism seriously and dives into its intricate subtleties. Music critics have often described pastoral music as sentimental, nostalgic, and escapist (Saylor 2017, 3). Moreover, they deemed it inappropriate and horribly out of fashion amid the tumultuous new developments of modernism, especially after the Second World War. Critics were, for instance, more interested in works written in serial and neoclassical idioms, which were perceived as being more progressive (ibid., 171-2). As a result, pastoralism is misunderstood; pastoral music evokes certain bucolic landscapes, whether in topic or musical style, but its manifestations and its composers’ motivations vary widely. Contrary to these misconceptions, pastoral music encompasses a variety of styles, idioms, timbres, forms, and signifiers, and has been subject to diverse influences. Moreover, its composers all had their own motives to write their pieces.","PeriodicalId":115950,"journal":{"name":"Junctions: Graduate Journal of the Humanities","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124211250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hendrikse","doi":"10.33391/JGJH.48","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33391/JGJH.48","url":null,"abstract":"Heimat – home, birthplace or motherland – is an important factor of German identity. Because it evokes feelings of belonging to a community as well as to a particular location, nature and landscape are major aspects of the Heimat concept. Throughout history, Heimat has served various nationalist, national-socialist, environmental and escapist agendas and ideologies. As Jan Palmowski has argued, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) developed its own tradition regarding a socialist Heimat. Palmowski, however, did not adequately address the role of nature itself in the East German conceptualization of Heimat. Nature is important to take into account, especially because the GDR was infamous for its problematic environmental conditions. In order to understand the idea of nature in the East German Heimat discourse and how it contrasted with actual environmental circumstances, this essay draws upon a variety of sources such as educational materials and printed media, most of which were made under government control. This essay claims that the nature-based notion of Heimat played a significant role in East German ideology, identity and everyday life. Nature created a feeling of belonging, even though this idea of nature contrasted sharply with the actual reality in the GDR. In the realm of ideology, a socialist idea of nature was combined with heavy industry in contrast to the bourgeois-romantic notion of unspoiled nature. In the course of the 1970s, after Erich Honecker gained power and in the face of more environmental pollution, the bourgeois notion of nature became more popular.","PeriodicalId":115950,"journal":{"name":"Junctions: Graduate Journal of the Humanities","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122047085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Howe concludes that the eventual entanglement of climatological science and politics in the late twentieth century undermined the possibility for effective change, which makes the history of this discourse one with very real, and sometimes devastating consequences. ‘Ask an Inuit who has watched her traditional way of life disappear with the Arctic sea ice about climate change,’ he writes, ‘or a Pacific Islander who has watched his island sink into the ocean. They will tell you about this aspect of the tragedy’ (Howe 2014, 203). However, in order to tell those stories and connect them to larger themes, such as global warming or the relation between humans and their environment in general, serious methodological considerations need to be made. They do, after all, not rest on clear-cut evidence that is readily presented in the archives. An excellent starting point for writing those stories is provided by Jocelyn Thorpe, Stephanie Rutherford, and L.

Sanfilippo","doi":"10.33391/JGJH.49","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33391/JGJH.49","url":null,"abstract":"Anthropologists and biologists maintain disparate opinions in discussions on whether all primates are cultural creatures or not. In her contemporary novel We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves (2013), Karen Joy Fowler implies that there is culture in nature and that animals and humans deserve equal respect. This is also the view of the two protagonists, Rosemary and Lowell Cooke, who grow up on a farm with their chimpanzee sister Fern. Raised in both animal and human ‘cultures’ and worlds, the three Cooke siblings can be considered as ‘Cross-Cultural Kids’ (CCKs). In sociology, the term CCK refers to individuals who grow up among multiple cultural environments. Interdisciplinary in scope, this article uses CCK research from fields such as intercultural and psychological studies alongside readings of Fowler’s text in order to argue that, because she grows up in multiple cultures, the novel’s narrator faces challenges which are common to many CCKs. As a young girl, Rosemary believes it is normal to mirror the culture of her chimpanzee sister. Yet, her school peers ridicule the ‘monkey girl’ and, similarly to many CCKs, Rosemary grows up feeling like an outsider. Due to her childhood experiences, as an adult Rosemary promotes the importance of respecting other cultures. By discussing what it means to be a human-animal in Fowler’s novel and by offering an innovative mode of adopting the CCK perspective, this article calls to attention the significance of cross-cultural interaction both in childhood and with nonhumans. In today’s increasingly interconnected world, greater recognition can be achieved through cross-cultural individuals, for all humans and nonhumans alike.","PeriodicalId":115950,"journal":{"name":"Junctions: Graduate Journal of the Humanities","volume":"05 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116866129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is concerned with how making sense of nature is possible in a decolonizing vocabulary, that is to say, in a way that does not posit nature as a passive object that can be known and ruled by humans. Such a shift will be addressed as a change from talking about nature to thinking with nature. It will be argued, that this may be achieved through modes of thinking that are posthuman, in other words, modes of thinking that decentre human ways of perceiving the world and invite for creatively imaging other modes of perception. Specifically, it will be examined how octopodal species from Donna Haraway’s ‘Tentacular Thinking’ in Staying with the Trouble (2016) and Vilem Flusser’s Vampyroteuthis Infernalis (1987) might be taken as figures to imagine other ways of thinking. The way these tentacular creatures perceive the world is fundamentally alien to us, which will be developed as precisely their asset within the endeavor to imagine other ways of making sense. The paradoxical situation of trying to imagine something that is ultimately not knowable will be addressed in spatial terms where the octopodal figure, the non-human and other way of thinking will be conceived as an elswere, whereas the human point of view, the knowable designates a here. As such, the question of how to think posthumanly revolves around the question of how can we understand the relation and arrangement of here and elsewhere. Through different spatial systems, arrangements and modes of traveling the issue will be addressed showing that although the octopodal figure denotes an elsewhere, it is also implicated in the here and might spark our inspiration for imaging other ways of being-in-the-world.","PeriodicalId":115950,"journal":{"name":"Junctions: Graduate Journal of the Humanities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128701842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Space programs have produced extensive images, influencing both representations of the Earth and of humanity. Today, some individuals still wish to represent the whole of humanity outside of its original borders when traveling to Mars and even further. However, behind the question of what kind of humanity was and is represented, the sensitive issue of who belongs to this narrative is raised. As a first step and influenced by the art project I Will Build My Own Rocket, this paper will describe the influence of the space conquest narrative on perceptions of Earth’s borders. The ways in which both NASA and more recently Mars One shape humanity’s representations and its representatives will be analyzed to investigate who belongs to their space narrative. After presenting three different portraits of aspiring space travelers, a parallel between the space traveler's position and the figure of Giorgio Agamben’s homo sacer will be offered, questioning how this may interfere with the space utopia of a perfect humanity elsewhere.","PeriodicalId":115950,"journal":{"name":"Junctions: Graduate Journal of the Humanities","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123054912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
