This document summarizes a journal article that examines the growth of spiritualism and new age practices as trends. It discusses how concepts like positive thinking, spiritual awareness, and personal development have proliferated in language, culture, and daily life. The rise of these trends is seen as a response to anxieties around existence, death, and changing social structures in modern society. Individuals are seeking new guides and perspectives outside traditional religions. The popularity of books and seminars on personal development also indicates their emergence as a new cultural product and industry.
Mysticism Meets Life Styles: Elizabeth Gilbertpaulussilas
1. The document examines how postmodernism has influenced individuals and society, focusing on identity formation and consumption patterns.
2. It uses Elizabeth Gilbert, the main character from the movie "Eat Pray Love" as a case study to analyze how postmodern consumers relate to mystical experiences and the New Age trend.
3. The key aspects of postmodern individuals discussed are that they focus on experiential consumption rather than material goods, seek to enrich their lives with mystical experiences, and consider the New Age trend a tool to do so.
In his book The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge (1993), J.F. Lyotard announces a change in the way in which we manage our meanings in Western Culture societies. He points out that all of our metanarratives have fallen in postmodernity because there is an active and continuous process of incredulity towards them.
Our recent history shows how ideologies (and religions) can lead us to war and destruction.
Our society seems to be more pragmatic and scientific in this regard.
Our narrative skills are developed socially, but we need to depart from certain cultural hypotheses in order to make meaning. These hypotheses are included in the metanarrative that we have inherited from our parents, family or “defining communities” (Charles Taylor, Sources of the Self, 1989).
This inheritance still exists, but:
1.Our “defining communities” tend not to have a strong and sharp narrative to pass on to their offspring.
2.Our society doesn’t share a clear and stable metanarrative from which everyone can judge his own life and experience.
3.It has become desirable culturally speaking (after the hippies, May 68, the Punks, the Spanish Movida, etc.) to rebel against parents, established social values, etc. this has been demonstrated in the book The Conquest of Cool: Business Culture, Counterculture, and the Rise of Hip Consumerism (Thomas Frank, 1997) and La Revolución Divertida (Ramón González Férriz, 2012)
Identity, choice and consumer freedom the new opiates? a psychoanalytic int...gutoathayde
This document provides a psychoanalytic perspective on identity, choice, and consumer freedom in contemporary society. It argues that identity and choice can be seen as "wish fulfillments" or "fantasies" that emerge from unconscious desires and anxieties. Similarly, the notion of consumer freedom is proposed as an "illusion" that functions like an "opiate of the people" by offering consolation and compensation for societal discontents. Specifically, the illusion of freedom disciplines individuals, offers therapeutic relief, and fulfills narcissistic desires, just as religion has in the past. The fundamental desire behind this illusion is suggested to be the desire to feel unique and in control, while the main anxiety it defends against is feeling ordinary or lacking control
Perhaps there is still a worldwide accepted metanarrative which tends to hide its condition as a metanarrative, disguising itself as a neutral characteristic of the general reality.
This hidden metanarrative could be seen as capitalism with all of its attributes (entertainment, consumerism, technologies…).
Capitalism would be a metanarrative that doesn’t give a rational explanation or take our human experiences into account. We would be able to detect this fact in two different points:
1.To maximize our personal benefit or our well-being doesn’t necessarily coincide with happiness in our experience.
2.To rely on the Adam Smith’s equation according which our private selfishness should be necessarily our best contribution to the common good.
Postmodernism rejects objective truths and foundations of knowledge. All accounts of reality are equally valid and there is no way to judge between different perspectives. Postmodernists also reject grand narratives and theories that claim to fully explain reality. Jean-Francois Lyotard analyzed changes in language and the rise of different "language games" in postmodern society. Baudrillard argued that society is based on images and signs rather than material goods, and reality has become blurred with media simulations. Postmodernism emphasizes style over substance and destabilizes culture and identity through the proliferation of media images.
This document discusses cultural trauma and collective identity. It defines cultural trauma as occurring when members of a collectivity feel they have undergone a horrendous event that leaves an indelible mark and changes their future identity. Trauma is socially constructed through symbolic representation of events and narrative construction. For a trauma to shape collective identity, social actors must represent social pain as a threat to identity, responsibility must be attributed, and institutions mediate the trauma process as it revises identities over time. The document uses the Rape of Nanking as an example where this process of constructing cultural trauma did not fully occur.
"In the twenty-first century West the role of institutional religion is in retreat and
the rise of personal spiritualities is clearly observable (Partridge 2004-2005).
The oppositional cultural trends of the eighteenth century, the Enlightenment
(which promoted rationality and scientific experiment), and Romanticism
(which championed emotion and experientialism), are visible in both the public
acceptance of secularism, science, and technology, and the private emergence of
a plethora of new self-concepts that embrace the contemporary narrative of the
self as central, the creator of reality, and of self-actualisation as the fundamental
spiritual quest and ultimate goal of life (Cusack 2015: 181-182; Lyon 2002
[2000]: 73-96). An important strand of contemporary Romanticism is magical
thinking. Since the publication of Lupa’s A Field Guide to the Otherkin (2007)
scholarly interest in Otherkin (people who believe and live as if they are partly
other-than-human, for example, part-dragon, unicorn, vampire, angel, fae or
other mythological or supernatural creature) and Therianthropy (a term derived
from the Greek for ‘beast-man’ and applied to a group generally distinguished
from Otherkin by the ‘otherness’ of their selves being animal, such as wolf, horse,
eagle, ram, and so on) has grown (Robertson 2015a; Robertson 2015b). This is
partly due to the facilitative nature of the Internet, which has enabled hitherto
separate individuals to form communities (Shane 2014: 263), and partly due to
scholarly interest in such crafted identities and niche spiritual communities,
which has grown steadily since the Australian scholar Danielle Kirby published
her pioneering book chapter “Alternative Worlds: Metaphysical Questing and
Virtual Community Among the Otherkin” (2006).

This document explores the concepts of self and identity in anthropological discourse. It argues that anthropology has tended to deny that the people it studies have a self. Instead, anthropology views them as only having an identity, defined as something shared with others rather than individual features. The document presents a case study from northern Pakistan to argue that in order to understand how individuals act with plural, contradictory identities requires recognizing they have a self beyond just cultural attributes. It calls for anthropology to better integrate the concepts of self and identity and recognize the self as a human universal.

This document summarizes a journal article that examines changes to the education system in England and Wales from 1944 to 1949 following the 1944 Education Act. It discusses how the Act aimed to create a new national education system but did not resolve all problems. It established primary, secondary, and further education but did not define organizational structures. This allowed for different local implementations, including tripartite, bipartite, and comprehensive systems. The article also examines factors that influenced changes over time, like pressure from interest groups, unresolved issues, and negotiations between political and professional stakeholders that resulted in modifications to policies and their implementation.

This document summarizes changes to the education system in England and Wales in the 1950s and 1960s, including:
- The system became more decentralized as central and local governments, and local governments and localities, negotiated their relationships and levels of provision. This led to uneven distribution of power and different approaches across areas.
- Selection of students at age 11 into grammar schools or secondary modern schools, and the lack of a coherent vocational training strategy, contributed to persisting inequality of opportunity.
- Worries over the tripartite system's efficiency and fairness increased interest in comprehensive schools and encouraged adaptation, such as making the selection process less stressful.
International Film Festivals: A Cinema Struggling to Exist Between New Resour...paulussilas
This document analyzes how international film festivals have impacted the development of directors' cinema in Turkey. It discusses how the festivals have provided economic benefits through international screenings, sales, and distribution, but have also led to interventions that undermine national culture and ideology. The festivals have created dependency relationships similar to Hollywood's system and influence the film production process. They also exert pressure on Turkish art film directors to prioritize economic concerns over artistic vision.
1) The document discusses the relationship between marketing and literature, specifically focusing on how mysticism motivates literary works and can function as a marketing tool.
2) It provides examples of famous literary works like Shakespeare's Hamlet and the Harry Potter series that have been commercially successful and have incorporated mystical elements that appeal to readers.
3) The concept of mysticism in literature is analyzed in relation to consumption and marketing, with mystical elements seen as fulfilling spiritual needs in readers and establishing an emotional connection that drives product preference.
My masthead/logo uses similar fonts, boldness and sizing as a real local newspaper shown for reference, with some differences. The inclusion of a symbolic eye logo challenges conventions of real local newspapers. My color scheme develops forms of a real newspaper logo while ensuring the logo is easily identified and taken seriously. The way secondary stories are distinguished on the front page uses conventions of real local newspapers.
Lord Krishna Recognized by Scholars Long Time Agopaulussilas
This document summarizes and critiques a 1980 lecture by Benjamin Preciado Solis that attempted to present the first historical evidence about Krishna. It argues that Preciado made many flawed claims and misrepresented evidence. The document provides over 20 literary and archaeological sources that provide convincing evidence that Krishna was a historical figure, contradicting Preciado's assertions. It concludes that Preciado's arguments were fallacious and supported a mistaken view, while there is overwhelming interdisciplinary evidence that Krishna was a real historical person.

This document summarizes changes to the education system in England and Wales in the 1960s and 1970s, with a focus on comprehensive reorganization. It describes the author's experience teaching at a school in Wath-upon-Dearne in the 1960s that was designated as a comprehensive school though functionally operated a bilateral system. Nationally, it outlines how the Labour Party adopted a comprehensive policy leading up to the 1964 election. It then discusses the impact of Circular 10/65, which outlined models of reorganization, and the growing opposition to comprehensive reorganization from the Conservative Party. The response to reorganization in the West Riding county is also summarized.
Political Approach to Leisure: The “stop WWI coalition”, 1908 - 1914paulussilas
Arthur Leonard founded the Co-operative Holidays Association in 1894 to promote international friendship and peace through shared holiday experiences. In 1909, Leonard led a group from the CHA on a holiday in Germany. They were warmly welcomed in Frankfurt by civic leaders and the founders of the Ferienheimgesellschaft, which aimed to facilitate German-British youth exchanges. Both groups hoped such interactions could counter rising tensions between the two countries and help prevent war.
This document is the introduction, foreword, acknowledgments, and table of contents for a collection of writing titled "Sunrise and the Whispers of Dawn". It was edited by Paul Silva and features a variety of genres including poetry, short stories, interviews, oral histories, articles, portraits and music contributed by students, parents, teachers and established writers from inner city communities in Huddersfield, England. The foreword provides context about the communities represented and acknowledges the work of Paul Silva in encouraging contributors. The introduction describes the diverse content and boundary-pushing nature of the collection.
The Relationship Between Superstitions Metaphors and the Discipline of Advert...paulussilas
This document discusses superstitions and their relationship to marketing and advertising. It begins by defining superstitions as beliefs that are inconsistent with reality and can have different meanings across cultures. Though people may deny them, superstitions still play a role in people's daily lives and psyches. Common Turkish superstitions like the evil eye are discussed. The document then explores how superstitions and their associated products form a market, and how mystical symbols like the blue bead, which wards off the evil eye, are used in advertising messages and codes in Turkey.
1) The document evaluates a music video and its ancillary texts through audience feedback.
2) A questionnaire was administered to 30 people in the target age group of 14-24. It contained closed and open-ended questions about the CD cover, advert, and music video.
3) The results showed that most respondents found the link between the ancillary texts and music video to be clear. They also said the video matched expectations of a typical hip hop video and that they would be willing to watch it after seeing the advert or CD cover.

1. The document proposes an "Extended Identity Theory" that builds upon the author's previous work on generic identity theory. It aims to model identity in relation to real-world data from a multicultural perspective.
2. Key concepts from previous papers are reviewed, including components of identity, theories of identity formation, and a "symbiotic approach" to sociocultural change. The author argues observations must consider multicultural viewpoints.
3. The paper proposes several extensions to identity theory and applications to real-world problems. It presents data from different world regions and aims to develop concepts that can address real issues.
Culture And Elusive Culture, A Theory Of CultureKaren Gilchrist
The document discusses three theories related to culture: culture and personality theory, basic/modal personality theory, and dynamic social impact theory. Culture and personality theory assumes cultural homogeneity, but this fails to account for diversity within cultures. Basic/modal personality theory proposes common personality types across cultures. Dynamic social impact theory recognizes that culture and the individual interact and influence each other over time.
1. This study examines how fashion consumption influences identity development among university students in Lima, Peru. It finds that the students see themselves as having academic, economic, and social strength compared to previous generations, allowing them to overcome historical segregation.
2. Fashion consumption acts as a tool for social mobility and communication of evolving identities. Students use clothing to project future leadership roles and navigate different social spheres. Mothers especially influence fashion choices as a way to advance the family name.
3. Identities are flexible and combinatorial, allowing students to strategically present themselves differently in various social contexts. Fashion brands provide "pieces of a puzzle" to construct identities seen as desirable within social groups.
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a lecture on avoiding humiliation through intercultural and global interhuman communication. The author argues that focusing solely on cultural differences can have both benign and malign effects, and that constructing a new inclusive and diverse global culture is needed to address worldwide issues of humiliation and inequality. Intercultural communicators are well-positioned to help build this new global culture by selectively employing useful aspects of cultural commonalities and differences in a way that respects individual human rights and dignity for all people.

This document proposes a generalized approach to collective and individual identity formation that could apply across cultures.

The approach is linked to theories in anthropology, sociology, psychology, and human development. It advocates for ethnographic fieldwork in diverse contexts and pedagogical reform to shape identity and promote ethnic harmony in a globalized world.

The document discusses the concept of moral panics. It defines a moral panic as occurring when the media mobilizes public opinion around the condemnation of deviance, or behavior that violates social norms. It notes that moral panics involve the media fueling public fear and denunciation of a perceived social problem in a way that is disproportionate to the actual threat. The document will examine the processes of news reporting and how it can encourage moral panics, using Stanley Cohen's case study of a 1964 event in England as an example. It also discusses how the media shapes perceptions of deviance and how moral crusaders can influence moral boundaries to target certain groups.

This document discusses the concept of "ethnography of enculturation" and provides an overview of ethnography as a social science research technique. Some key points:
- Ethnography involves qualitative, first-hand study of cultures through techniques like participant observation, interviews, surveys, and case studies. It provides insights into how identities are shaped by cultural processes.
- The document defines ethnography and traces its origins and evolution. Fieldwork and prolonged interaction with subjects are central to ethnographic research.
- Ethnography of enculturation would study how humans are culturally socialized and how their identities develop. This could provide understanding of real-world issues like terrorism and aberrant behavior.

The document outlines how anthropologists have explored how cultures shape notions of personhood and the development of social identities.

The post modernity as ideology of neoliberalism and globalizationFernando Alcoforado
The failure of the Enlightenment and Modernity in the realization of human progress and of happiness achievement for humans paved the way for the advent of Post-Modernity that is a cultural reaction to the loss of confidence in the universal potential of the Enlightenment project and Modernity. The Postmodernism means, therefore, a reaction to what is modern. Some schools of thought are located its origin in the alleged exhaustion of the modernity project by the end of the twentieth century.

Violence in Schools:
Rage Against a Broken World
By J. SCOTT STAPLES
ABSTRACT: Violence in schools is a grave issue that is often ana-
lyzed in terms of individuals' tendencies toward destructive behav-
ior. While this path of analysis is important, in this article, the author
contextualizes violence within a cultural milieu that alienates stu-
dents from their fundamental yearning for significance. It is argued
that violence is a failed epiphany, that is, a heightened moment of
awareness emerging out of the everyday flow of experience that seeks
to overcome alienation. Violence fails because it cannot create a world
of sustainable meaning. The nature of productive epiphanies and the
worlds of sustainable meaning that they evoke are discussed in terms
of their implication for education ...
This document provides an overview of the author's previous work on identity theory and proposes an extension of that work called "Extended Identity Theory". The previous work explored concepts of human identity formation and components of identity. This paper aims to develop new concepts, apply identity theory to real-world problems, and demonstrate that observations must consider multi-cultural perspectives rather than just a western view. It presents data from different world regions and analyzes it through the framework of extended identity theory. The document also reviews key concepts from the author's past work to provide background for readers.

From the beginning of the 19th century onward, as the nature of representation began to be questioned, image took on a structure which does not reflect but hides reality. It also became an ambiguous and hazy area to grasp while acquiring new
meanings and forms, as the viewer began to create his or her own visual experience (Crary 2010: 40-162). In this period when the reality of the world was no longer needed and the relativity of time was beginning to be debated, the realm of emotional
perception and sensations became visible in the field of art. In modern painting and literature, with the choice of viewpoint, the objects intertwined and converged.....

2) It provides background on Covid-19, discussing theories about its origin and criticisms of pandemic models and testing. Widespread panic ensued due to 24/7 media coverage despite the virus having a mortality rate similar to the flu.

Real final critica epistemolígica a la indología contemporáneapaulussilas
En los últimos cien años, las diferentes ramas de la ciencia, casi en todas sus expresiones, se han esforzado por perfeccionar sus métodos, técnicas e instrumentación, con el ideal de lograr obtener un conocimiento que sea auténtico, objetivo y real. Sin embargo, diversos descubrimientos han conducido a calurosos debates sobre la diferencias entre lo qué es conocimiento objetivo, científico, protocientífico, seudocientífico y anticientifico. De hecho, subsistan disciplinas específicas que se avocan a explorar estos campos del saber, como la gnoselogía, etc. Al grado, que actualmente se ha llegado a la formulación de preguntas ontológicas como, ¿el grado de imperfección del método experimental, de la lógica formal, del valor real o simbólico de los números, los defectos e ilusiones de la percepción sensorial?, y hasta ¿si existe una realidad objetiva que pueda ser estudiada por la ciencia, o si se trata de una ilusión de los sentidos? Estos y otros aspectos se han vuelto de interés para los especialista de la filosofía de la ciencia.

This document summarizes changes to the education system in England and Wales between the 1960s and 1980s, focusing on Skipton, England. It describes the school system in Skipton from 1962-1974, which included two grammar schools and three secondary modern schools. Attempts were made between 1962-1983 to reorganize Skipton's schools into a comprehensive system, but the grammar schools resisted this change.

This review summarizes an article about the relationship between superstitions, metaphors, and advertising. The article uses the Turkish superstition of the "evil eye" to show how products are marketed to cure it. The reviewer notes that the author draws an interesting parallel between superstitions and marketing, as symbols are important in both spirituality and purchasing decisions. However, the reviewer also points out that superstitions arise from fear of the unknown, while consumption aims to satisfy desires. In conclusion, the reviewer finds the topic of particular interest to those studying marketing and decision making, as it uses a familiar superstition to explain marketing techniques and brand management.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
