It suggests reading Potter's screenplay as one about the understanding and shaping of identity by means of narrative. Philip Marlow, the series' protagonist, overcomes a major personal crisis by reconstructing and subsequently rewriting the story of his life. The Singing Detective thus illustrates the hermeneutical anthropology of philosophers such as Charles Taylor and Paul Ricoeur, who consider humans to be self-interpreting, story-telling beings. Interpreted this way, Potter's work is an evocation of the humanist belief in human agency and the expression of a profound existential optimism.","PeriodicalId":231294,"journal":{"name":"Soundings: An Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":"570 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116279619","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}

Whereas the Boomer mainstream sought social change and opportunity within the established socioeconomic system, Millennial–GenZ seeks essential structural change in the form of cultural equality for all orientations and identities that accept inclusiveness, and radical redistribution of wealth and even mainstream challenges to the legitimacy of the capitalist system as wealth concentrates at the top and the quality of life declines for the vast majority worldwide.

Atwood weaves together these meanings of the end of history, showing how the eternal present of consumerist simulacra is also a trajectory toward ecological and social disaster. However, Atwood's trilogy is itself symptomatic of this postmodern capitalist condition. Atwood accepts the social and political parameters of the capitalist present, while escaping into a neo-romantic fantasy of post-human primitivism.","PeriodicalId":231294,"journal":{"name":"Soundings: An Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127755369","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}

One hundred years before the #MeToo movement, a feminist utopia was envisioned in the novel Herland (published serially between 1910–1916) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a first-wave American feminist novelist and sociologist. This article explores the tropes of #MeToo's parallel mythological construction of shaming and exclusion of male characteristics in a literary scope. It suggests that Gilman's Herland reflects archetypal blueprints for the feminist impulse driving #MeToo. The conclusion of the article argues that there are some weaknesses to this scope, in light of examples of heterosexual encounters in other artistic forms, through the lenses of social theory and theology's views of sexuality.","PeriodicalId":231294,"journal":{"name":"Soundings: An Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130011572","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}

Typically, such messages pertain to troublesome trends in modern societies that have been shaping constellations of business, labor, and government, and which have resulted in the formation of peculiar systems of social relations. While the stability of any society depends on the existence of a specific system of social relations, in modern societies, such systems often are in conflict with the norms and values according to which individuals are expected to live their lives, and are thus, inherently regressive. Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014) and Denis Villeneuve's Arrival (2016) provide excellent foils for highlighting the workings of regressive social relations, and for the kind of price humans and humankind pay in the process.","PeriodicalId":231294,"journal":{"name":"Soundings: An Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126310816","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}

The novel provides a representation of what is arguably the most insurmountable contradiction of late capitalism: while climate change continues to cement the dominance of finance over the capitalist system as a whole, finance's dominance, nonetheless, coincides with the exacerbation of the climate crisis and the decline of long-run accumulation, not with its enhancement.","PeriodicalId":231294,"journal":{"name":"Soundings: An Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115947636","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}
