I began teaching because I knew I would be good at it. My philosophy was simple: show up every day; read books; talk and write. Maybe even enjoy summers off. Hopefully, my students would learn and ...even like me or my class. A decade later, I realize how wrong I was. There was never a specific reason why I began teaching English language arts, but I know for certain why I continue. As teachers, we have the power to change the world. My journey began by going through the motions, but eventually my purpose became clear by listening to others more and engaging in issues I once believed did not affect my daily life. Despite a great conversation that day, I stayed mostly within the curriculum for the next few years. I avoided discussions about Trayvon Martin and the Ferguson riot and unrest in class. Those tragedies felt so far away from Columbus, Ohio, and my everyday life.

Moral philosophy and poststructuralism have long been considered two antithetical enterprises. Moral philosophy is invested in securing norms, whereas poststructuralism attempts to unclench the grip ...of norms on our lives. Moreover, poststructuralism is often suspected of undoing the possibility of ethical knowledge by emphasizing the unstable, socially constructed nature of our practices and knowledge. In Unbecoming Subjects, Annika Thiem argues that Judith Butler's work makes possible a productive encounter between moral philosophy and poststructuralism, rethinking responsibility and critique as key concepts at the juncture of ethics and politics. Putting into conversation Butler's earlier and most recent work, Unbecoming Subjects begins by examining how Butler's critique of the subject as nontransparent to itself, formed thoroughly through relations of power and in subjection to norms and social practices, poses a challenge to ethics and ethical agency. The book argues, in conversation with Butler, Levinas, and Laplanche, that responsibility becomes possible only when we do not know what to do or how to respond, yet find ourselves under a demand to respond, and even more, to respond well to others. Drawing on the work of Butler, Adorno, and Foucault, Unbecoming Subjects examines critique as a central practice for moral philosophy. It interrogates the limits of moral and political knowledge and probes methods of social criticism to uncover and oppose injustices.
Using student poems and reflections collected over several years, the author examines the impact of a role-playing game experience on introductory creative writing students' openness toward taking ...risks, revising (and improvising) playfully and working with limitations or rules. The role-play uses Lars von Trier's film The Five Obstructions as a model-particularly the diabolical game that unfolds between directors von Trier and Jørgen Leth-and requires students to "remake" a poem of theirs three times according to sets of rules designed specifically for them by the instructor in face-to-face meetings.
Resumen: El tratamiento de las obligaciones alimenticias internacionales en la legislación chilena se limita a la incorporación del Convenio de Nueva York de 1956. En el caso de los niños, esta ...exigua regulación, unida a la falta de doctrina nacional en la materia, se traduce en dificultades para el acceso al cobro de deudas alimentarias desde y hacia el extranjero. Por ello, el presente artículo, mediante el análisis de la legislación vigente, revisa las soluciones que el ordenamiento ofrece para el cobro de las obligaciones alimenticias internacionales y propone nuevos mecanismos que facilitan su efectividad.
