Archive

Article Abstract:

The archive stands behind all scholarly research, with the ultimate plausibility of a piece of research depending on the grounds, the sources, from which the account is extracted and compiled. However, an expanding and unstable globalizing archive presents particular problems for classifying and legitimating knowledge, as the boundaries between the archive and everyday life become blurred through digital recording and storage technologies.

Genealogies of the global

Article Abstract:

The new forms of social integration among people in contemporary times necessitate the development of new forms of global knowledge, which go beyond the old classifications. In this sense, the tightening of the interdependency chains between human beings, and also between human beings and other life forms, suggests the need to think about the relevance of academic knowledge to the emergent global public sphere.

Body image/body without image

Article Abstract:

An assumption is presented that the human mind can actively marshal the body to facilitate the construction of a satisfactory body image that will enhance self-worth and self-identity. The body image is a variety of images that have accumulated from the past, rather than a fixed projection of how one looks or a mental construct of one's appearance.
