Ökologie ohne Natur: Eine neue Sicht der Umwelt

Stets trachtet das Schreiben über die Natur danach, eine Weltsicht zu vermitteln, die die Natur bewahrt und respektiert. Kein Wunder, dass wir uns angesichts der ökologischen Katastrophe, die wir erleben, nach einer unversehrten, wilden und ›unschuldigen‹ Natur sehnen. Aber die Feier der Natur, oder der Einheit mit ihr, trübt unseren Blick. Rigoros und verstörend stellt Morton unsere ökologischen Grundannahmen auf den Prüfstand und versucht, ein neues Vokabular für das Verständnis von Natur zu entwickeln. In einem Parforceritt durch die Literatur- und Philosophiegeschichte trägt das Buch dazu bei, unseren Blick auf ökologische Zusammenhänge zu weiten und den Umweltgedanken in einen geistesgeschichtlichen Kontext zu stellen, der ihm politisch und intellektuell mehr Schlagkraft verleiht.

By ‘diet’ is to be understood the themes of consumption, temperance and intemperance, intoxication, abstinence and famine, as well as the ‘natural’ or vegetarian diet which Shelley practised and wrote about. The cultural field (1790-1820) in which Shelley's writing about diet can be placed is explored, and a biographical account of Shelley's vegetarianism is given. The writings of Shelley which present arguments about the ‘natural’ diet are analysed, and their sources are discussed. The manuscript of Shelley's ‘Essay on the Vegetable System of Diet’ is dated and examined closely. The figurative representation of intemperance is associated with Shelley's representation of tyranny and injustice, and his intervention in debates about famine is dealt with in relation to his poetic inscription of this theme. The thesis explores the relationship between figurative language, the body and politics.

We realize that it is always fringed by disgust. We already have the right emotional chemical for being "scientific"—the mode in which we will care more sincerely for nonhuman beings. It's called, rather surprisingly, ennui, an oscillation between enjoyment and disgust. This is a twelve-inch remix way of thinking about beauty—expanded for an ecological age in which it is clear that beauty was never a human-only affair. That's a perfectly logical thing to say about the arguments on beauty of Immanuel Kant. I will be showing how Kantian beauty is far more strange and radical than we have often thought, and why beauty rather than the sublime is the path towards a more ecologically attuned art.

As Esther Hibbard put it, almost forty years ago, ‘modern criticism has shown that [Byron] … rebelled against the romantic concept of nature’.1 English Bards and Scotch Reviewers depicts Coleridge soaring ‘to eulogize an ass’ (ll. 261–3), while Bowles sings ‘with equal ease, and grief, / The fall of empires, or a yellow leaf’ (ll. 334–5). The narrator’s refreshingly blunt honesty seems indisposed to re-enchant the world: ‘I like the weather, when it is not rainy, / That is, I like two months of every year’ (Beppo, stanza 47). It is, however, these very features that enable us not only to read him ecologically, but also to use him against a too limited and ideological view of ecological literary criticism.

Rhetorical affect is directly proportional to marginalization, maintaining an ironic barrier to genuine interrelationships between beings.1 I call it ‘beautiful soul syndrome’ after Hegel’s characterization of Romantic subjectivity that perceives a chasm between consciousness and the world, which cannot be fully bridged without compromising the soul’s beauty.2 Instead of wondering how to bridge an unbridgeable gap, ecological thinking might pose another question. To pose a question is to reveal how place and terms such as question are interconnected.

En el manejo de aplicaciones web por parte de estudiantes y docentes muchas veces se deja de lado la seguridad por parte de los usuarios provocando acceso no deseado a información sensible. En la presente investigación se realiza un análisis, mediante el uso de la metodología OWASP en su apartado de análisis de vulnerabilidades de usuarios, en el cual se determina la presencia las mismas, ya sea por el uso de credenciales de acceso débiles o por protocolos de seguridad obsoletos. De esta manera se propone posibles soluciones hacia los administradores de la aplicación para disminuir el riesgo de un acceso no autorizado, el cual es presentado en este estudio.
