Through the comparative analysis\u0000of the performance 6 by the Slovenian director Žiga Divjak and the cult film by Lars von\u0000Trier, Dogville, I examine the motive of a refugee in two different media by juxtaposing\u0000emotions of fear and solidarity. Both phenomena are ideologically highly potent: the\u0000first contributes to the rise of racism, xenophobia and restrictive politics, the latter\u0000however, if not precisely conceptualized, can further reinforce the neoliberal spectacle\u0000of suffering. The aim of this research paper was to provide theoretical framework for\u0000the use of solidarity and reflexivity when staging and dramatizing political narratives.","PeriodicalId":233649,"journal":{"name":"Cross-cultural studies review","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129217723","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}

{"title":"Conversations with Planet Ocean","authors":"Rupert Medd","doi":"10.38003/ccsr.2.1-2.5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.38003/ccsr.2.1-2.5","url":null,"abstract":"This story-based journey is an eclectic discussion on marine plastic pollution. It responds\u0000to the Environmental Humanities by bringing material history, personal experiences\u0000as well as ecotheories and natural sciences together. The conversational style, like\u0000shifting tides, speaks to anyone who wishes to develop a broader understanding on\u0000plastic pollution and its ecological consequences. While much of the scientific data has\u0000been drawn from specialist journals such as Marine Pollution Bulletin and UN-Oceans,\u0000it is the mostly shared experiences on the World Ocean that inform this study such as\u0000dialogues and stories spoken by blue activists, general audiences, local groups, fishermen, researchers, students, scientists, surfers, sailors, divers, day-trippers, ferry crews,\u0000port authorities and marine protection societies. These voices speak from a position\u0000of ecocosmopolitanism on wide-ranging issues such as indifference, world-systems,\u0000modernity, ecological literatures, a common geostory, biosemiotics, the Anthropocene\u0000as well as Planetary Boundaries. By acknowledging that the World Ocean and its qualities have come to symbolise a fluid globalising world economy, alternative themes\u0000surface such as permeability, flows, agencies, loss, renewed sense of place, cross-species\u0000entanglements, peace and sustainability. The debates edge along fairly freely yet engage\u0000with three original ideas, namely: (1) plastic pollution may impact the climate more\u0000severely than the actual circulating concepts on climate change; (2) critical levels in\u0000the environment have been reached and this should, therefore, be part of a Planetary\u0000Boundary within “Novel entities” as it adversely affects the Earth’s systems; and (3) the\u0000question of language and how new education curricula centred around ecolinguistics\u0000and a shared geostory would better inform our environmental relations and altruistic\u0000natures. As presented here, plastic pollution is at its heart a debate involving a moral\u0000reassessment and appreciation of Planet Ocean, which constitutes our greatest personal\u0000gift – the “common heritage of humankind.”","PeriodicalId":233649,"journal":{"name":"Cross-cultural studies review","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133867921","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}

{"title":"Jean Painlevé’s Surrealism, Marine Life and Non-Ocular Modes of Sensing","authors":"C. Heflin","doi":"10.38003/ccsr.2.1-2.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.38003/ccsr.2.1-2.6","url":null,"abstract":"The obsessive representation of and violence against the eye is inescapable in surrealist art, with works like Un Chien andalou and Histoire de l’oeil being the most renowned for their depictions of acts of ocular defilement. Over the years, scholars have questioned these artists’ intentions and have even gone so far as to position them as anti-ocular. Compromising the physical integrity of the eye is not necessarily an outright rejection of vision, as Martin Jay claims. Instead, it questions the hierarchy of the senses and promotes an enrichment of different sensory modes. The use of marine animals in surrealism seen in works by artists like Jean Painlevé represents beings which rely on other modes of sensing, thus navigating their worlds without visual primacy. I argue they are not anti-ocular but anti-ocularcentristic. Surrealism’s depictions of marine life reflect an interest in alternative sensory regimes and rejects the primacy of vision above other senses. These representations express a desire to move beyond the eye to expand perception and explore faculties of perception denied to the human eye. Moreover, these works also challenge other concepts such as gender roles, anthropocentrism/the human-animal boundary and C.P. Snow’s Two Cultures Theory.","PeriodicalId":233649,"journal":{"name":"Cross-cultural studies review","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123154388","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}
