Poetry, science and Revolution: The enigma of Herman Gorter’s Pan.
2019Co-Authors: Zwart HubAbstract:Herman Gorter (1864-1927) became famous as the author of May (1889) and Poems (1890). His opus magnum Pan, published in 1916, hardly acquired any readership at all, which is remarkable, given the monumental size and scope of this unique achievement, celebrating the imminent Proletarian Revolution and the advent of the communist era: a visionary work of global proportions. Gorter’s Pan will be assessed as thinking poetry, more precisely: as dialectical materialist poetry, as a work of art which articulates a dialectical materialist worldview, not only concerning political economy and society, but also concerning nature and the universe as such, from the stars and galaxies of modern astrophysics down to the atoms and molecules of modern chemistry and quantum physics. Gorter’s monumental work is ‘thinking poetry’ in the Heideggerian sense of the term, sensitive to an imminent upheaval of Being as such, as well as a dialectical materialist artwork (albeit with a tinge of Spinozism) contributing (via the ‘school of poetry’) to a dialectical understanding of space, time, life and matter. In this article, I will focus on two crucial recurring motives: the motif of the shining crystal and the motif of the beaming galaxy. Via these motifs, so I suggest, Gorter aspires to bridge the gap between his epic-lyrical poetry and twentieth-century science

nigeria and sino bilateral economic relation from isolationism to constructive engagement a historical discourse
International Journal of Research, 2018Co-Authors: Paul U Omeje, Nanyen M AbeneAbstract:Since the first Afro-Asian Conference of 1955 in Bandung, China has pursued vigorously her ambition of becoming a world power. Basically, Sino –Africa relation seems to have dated several centuries back. Indeed, China understood from the earliest periods the importance of Africa nay Nigeria as a centre for competing with the other two great powers of the United States of America and the Soviet Union. The departure of colonial powers after independence created a vacuum in each of the African states and in particular Nigeria; and there was a struggle between the two superpowers to fill it. Then too, this escalated the Chinese (Sino) impulse and desire to establish her presence in Nigeria, spreading communist ideology and experimenting the concept of Proletarian Revolution. Although formal economic contact between Nigeria and China dates back to the early years of the former’s independence in 1960,the development of economic relations between the two countries have not been encouraging until recently. This is sequel to the legacy of British colonialism and her economic imperialism policy. However, in spite of these impediments toward cordial economic bilateral rapport, China’s relations with Nigeria have been most conspicuous, particularly in the past few years. The paper concludes that , despite the policy of economic isolationism that pervaded and characterized the early years of Nigeria –China economic relations, the status quo was later superseded with cordial constructive economic engagement that prevails to this day.

Charles Baudelaire im Zeitalter der passiven Revolution: Benjamin und Gramsci / Charles Baudelaire in the Age of Passive Revolution: Benjamin and Gramsci
'Sociological Research Online', 2020Co-Authors: Gentili DarioAbstract:My contribution intends to confront Gramsci’s reflections on the new forms of capitalism and subjectivization as formulated in Americanism and Fordism with Benjamin’s notion of “second technique”. Both Gramsci and Benjamin understood the development of capitalist modes of production as a field of tension between the Proletarian Revolution and a new form of capitalist art of governing. This art of government, which includes alternatives within the capitalist system, corresponds with Gramsci’s “passive Revolution” in politics and with Benjamin’s description of Baudelaire as “his own impresario” on the level of forms of life. With their analyses of capitalism, both philosophers announced some characteristics of neoliberalism

Zofia Wojnarowska. Poetka dla dzieci – poetka miłości – poetka rewolucji
'Adam Mickiewicz University Poznan', 2018Co-Authors: Zawiszewska AgataAbstract:The article discusses Zofia Wojnarowska’s (1881-1967) biography and poetry which were representative of the life path and artistic career of many other active Polish poetesses at the turn of the 19th century. The output of Wojnarowska, who made her debut in the period of Young Poland and reached her artistic maturity in the interwar period, expresses a typical situation of an artist–epigone whose mediocre talent looks for its own expression and place in the literary Parnassus in the time of, important for the national community, political, economic and cultural changes. Political facts like the country’s occupation, World War I and a difficult process of the restoration of an independent country influenced the judgments of Polish critics who rarely applied esthetic criteria to the evaluation of poetesses’, including Wojnarowska’s, output and instead appreciated their subordination to the following functions: didactic (in children’s poetry), expressive (in love poetry) and ideological (in the poetry of Proletarian Revolution). The situation in which systemic and individual factors like the emancipation of women, the crystallization of literary professions literary critics’ lenient approach to the artistic output of women and the ease of writing overlapped, the need of success and ideological engagement, on the one hand, made it difficult for women writers to improve their own work, to function in higher mainstream and to play the roles of culture creators and, on the other hand, made it easier for them to function in the popular mainstream and play a role of literary craftsmen.The article discusses Zofia Wojnarowska’s (1881-1967) biography and poetry which were representative of the life path and artistic career of many other active Polish poetesses at the turn of the 19th century.
