Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

This book presents a systematic unifying-pluralist account—a constructive-engagement account—of how cross-tradition engagement in philosophy is possible. The goal of this constructive-engagement account is by way of reflective criticism argumentation and methodological guiding principles to inquire into how distinct approaches from different philosophical traditions can talk to and learn from each other for the sake of making joint contributions to the contemporary development of philosophy. In Part I of the book Bo Mou explores a range of fundamental theoretic and methodological issues in cross-tradition philosophical engagement and philosophical interpretation. In Part II he analyzes several representative case studies that demonstrate how relevant resources in the Western and Chinese philosophical traditions can constructively engage with each other. These studies cover issues in philosophical methodology metaphysics epistemology philosophy of language and logic and ethics. The book’s theoretical and practical approaches expand the vision coverage and agenda of doing philosophy comparatively and promote worldwide joint efforts of cross-tradition philosophical inquiries. Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy will be of interest to graduate students and scholars interested in comparative philosophy and the intersection of Chinese and Western philosophy. It will also appeal to those who are interested in the ways in which cross-tradition philosophical engagement can enhance contemporary philosophical debates in metaphysics epistemology philosophy of language and logic and ethics. | Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

Fred Dallmayr’s work is innovative in its rethinking of some of the central concepts of modern political philosophy challenging the hegemony of a modern “subjectivity” at the heart of Western liberalism individualism and rationalism and articulating alternative voices claims and ideas. His writings productively confound the logocentrism of Western modernity while providing alternative conceptions of political community that are post-individualist post-anthropocentric and relational. The editor has focused on work in three key areas:Critical phenomenology and the study of politicsThe first selections focus on the philosophical roots of Dallmayr’s work in two of the most innovative intellectual trends of the twentieth century: phenomenology and critical theory. These chapters outline some of the main arguments advanced by practitioners of phenomenology particularly “existential phenomenology ” as well the guiding ideas of critical theory and critical Marxism while tracing Dallmayr’s debt to thinkers such as Heidegger Gadamer Habermas Adorno and Merleau-Ponty. Cross-cultural theoryThese readings illustrate Dallmayr’s explorations beyond the confines of Western culture as this phase of his thinking turns toward what is now called cross-cultural or “comparative” political theory. In an approach that maintains its linkage with critical phenomenology Dallmayr asserts that Western (or European-American) political theory can no longer claim undisputed hegemony; rather it must allow itself to be contested amplified and corrected through a comparison with non-Western theoretical traditions and initiatives. CosmopolitanismThese selections explore the final phase of Dallmayr’s work in which he applies his insights on cross-cultural studies to the context of global politics rebutting Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” thesis and instead arguing for a cosmopolitanism that takes a middle path between both global universalism and restrictive particularism advocating sustained dialogue and respectful mutual learning between countries and civilizations. | Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

Managing Culture and Interspace in Cross-border Investments Building a Global Company

Managing Culture and Interspace in Cross-border Investments Building a Global Company

This book focuses on the dialectics between spatio-organisational gaps and local contexts that characterise cross-border investments. Interspatial investments – be it mergers & acquisitions (M&A) or greenfield investments – are usually characterised by what is referred to as otherness i. e. organisational and cultural distances of the firms involved in relation to their regional contexts. At the same time economic political and socio-cultural linkages are decisive for attracting cross-border investments to regions and for providing firms with conditions supportive of their market success. As a consequence of being locked into complex structures of proximities cross-border investments are situated in contested terrain. This terrain triggers learning processes in both regional actors and investors which can result in the convergence of mindsets and organisational issues. This book is unique in that it combines interspace (defined as the distance between the new owner and the cross-border venture) place (the target region) interpretation (perception and understanding of the investment by the actors involved) and context (institutions actor networks and interaction) thus offering better understanding of recent processes of globalisation. Crossing disciplinary boundaries by integrating economic geography and management studies the volume adopts an innovative and spatially informed perspective on foreign direct investments (FDI). This perspective will be of great value to scholars students and practitioners. The volume is inventive in its approach in that it offers fresh readings from interdisciplinary theoretical approaches and combines these with valuable empirical insights from developed as well as Emerging Economies. | Managing Culture and Interspace in Cross-border Investments Building a Global Company

Translation of Contemporary Taiwan Literature in a Cross-Cultural Context A Translation Studies Perspective

Translation of Contemporary Taiwan Literature in a Cross-Cultural Context explores the social cultural and linguistic implications of translation of Taiwan literature for transnational cultural exchange. It demonstrates principally how asymmetrical cultural relationships mediation processes and ideologies of the translation players constitute the culture-specific translation activity as a highly contested site where translation can reconstruct and rewrite the literature and the culture it represents. Four main theoretical themes are explored in relation to such translation activity: sociological studies cultural and rewriting studies English as a lingua franca and social and performative linguistics. These offer insightful perspectives on the translation as an interpretive encounter between not only two languages two cultural systems and assumptions taking place but also among various translation mediators. This book will be useful to scholars and students working on translation and cultural studies China/Taiwan literature studies and literature studies in cross-cultural contexts. | Translation of Contemporary Taiwan Literature in a Cross-Cultural Context A Translation Studies Perspective

Region-Making and Cross-Border Cooperation New Evidence from Four Continents

Region-Making and Cross-Border Cooperation New Evidence from Four Continents

This book explores the nature of regions and how they function particularly at the local and micro-level. Whilst recent years have seen a resurgence in debates around the roles which regions can play in development the focus has tended to be on 'macro' regional institutions such as the EU ASEAN ECOWAS or MERCOSUR. In contrast this book offers a nuanced analysis of the important field of sub-regionalism and sub-national cross-border cooperation. Region-Making and Cross-Border Cooperation takes a fresh look at both theoretical and empirical approaches to ‘region-making’ through cooperation activities at the micro-level across national borders in Europe Southeast Asia Latin America Africa and the Middle East. The book aims to explore the role that institutional dynamics play at the micro-level in shaping local and global ties investigate what the formal and informal integration factors are that bolster regionalism and regionalization processes and to clarify to what extent and under what conditions cooperation at the micro-level can be instrumental to solving common problems. Scholars and students within politics sociology geography and economics would find this book an important guide to regionalism at a micro-local level perspective. | Region-Making and Cross-Border Cooperation New Evidence from Four Continents

George Eliot and Schiller Intertextuality and Cross-Cultural Discourse

George Eliot and Schiller Intertextuality and Cross-Cultural Discourse

This title was first published in 2003. Though Friedrich Schiller enjoyed prominent literary standing and great popularity in nineteenth century literary England his influence has been largely neglected in recent scholarship on the period. With George Eliot and Schiller: Intertextuality and Cross-Cultural Discourse Deborah Guth explores the substantial evidence of the importance of the playwright and philosopher's thought to Eliot's novelistic art. Guth demonstrates the relationship of Schiller's work to Eliot's plotting of moral vision the tensions in her work between realism and idealism (which an understanding of Schiller redefines substantially) and her aesthetics. The specific focus of the study is the Schillerian subtext of George Eliot's work and a resultant reassessment of her realism. However the intertextual methodology applications of Iser's thinking on the translatability of cultures and a placement of Eliot in a German context serve as a gateway for reconsidering Eliot's contributions in these areas as well. While recent scholarship on Eliot has focused on gender analysis New Historicism and cultural materialism the frame remains largely English. Guth contends that the immense continental underpinnings of Eliot's writing should lead us to re-situate her beyond national boundaries and view her as a major European as well as English writer. | George Eliot and Schiller Intertextuality and Cross-Cultural Discourse

Understanding Korean Film A Cross-Cultural Perspective

Understanding Korean Film A Cross-Cultural Perspective

Film viewing presents a unique situation in which the film viewer is unwittingly placed in the role of a multimodal translator finding themselves entirely responsible for interpreting multifaceted meanings at the mercy of their own semiotic repertoire. Yet researchers have made little attempt as they have for literary texts to explain the gap in translation when it comes to multimodality. It is no wonder then that in an era of informed consumerism film viewers have been trying to develop their own toolboxes for the tasks that they are faced with when viewing foreign language films by sharing information online. This is particularly the case with South Korean film which has drawn the interest of foreign viewers who want to understand these untranslatable meanings and even go as far as learning the Korean language to do so. Understanding Korean Film: A Cross-Cultural Perspective breaks this long-awaited ground by explaining the meaning potential of a selection of common Korean verbal and non-verbal expressions in a range of contexts in South Korean film that are often untranslatable for English-speaking Western viewers. Through the selection of expressions provided in the text readers become familiar with a system that can be extended more generally to understanding expressions in South Korean films. Formal analyses are presented in the form of in-depth discursive deconstructions of verbal and non-verbal expressions within the context of South Korea’s Confucian traditions. Our case studies thus illustrate in a more systematic way how various meaning potentials can be inferred in particular narrative contexts. | Understanding Korean Film A Cross-Cultural Perspective

One Country Two Systems Cross-Border Crime Between Hong Kong and China

One Country Two Systems Cross-Border Crime Between Hong Kong and China

The legal issues evoked by cross-border crime in Hong Kong and China are sparse and what does exist is mostly in Chinese. This book provides the first systematic comprehensive and in-depth analysis of how Chinese British Hong Kong and international law were applied in the Big Spender case. Kam C. Wong outlines the respective positions of various parties to the dispute. Part of the case's fascination involves competing interests and that political clout counted for more than legal theory. Big Spender may be little known outside Hong Kong and China but he made history there. It was the first time a Hong Kong legal resident had been prosecuted tried and ultimately executed in China for acts largely perpetrated in Hong Kong. The case tested the limits of the one-country two-systems approach under which Hong Kong and China coexist. It also forced politicians government officials and the public in both Hong Kong and China to come to terms with the legal and policy issues related to cross-border crime. Wong sees the Big Spender case as making clear the dire need for both sides to find workable solutions to concurrent jurisdiction police cooperation and judicial assistance. Until there is an acceptable arrangement governing the rendition of offenders between Hong Kong and mainland China the one- country two-systems formula cannot be stabilized. This is a case study in large-scale terms. | One Country Two Systems Cross-Border Crime Between Hong Kong and China
