Biopolitical Ethics in Global Cinema
Biopolitical Ethics in Global Cinema takes a new approach to world cinema through critical theory.Whereas world cinema often refers to non-American films deemed artistic or peripheral, Seung-hoon Jong examines its mapping frames: the territorial 'national frame,' the deterritorializing 'transnational frame,' and the 'global frame.' If world cinema studies have mostly displayed national cinemas and their transnational mutations, his global frame highlights two conflicting ethical facets of globalization: the 'soft-ethical' inclusion of differences in multicultural, neoliberal systems and their 'hard-ethical' symptoms of fundamentalist exclusion and terror.Reflecting both and suggesting their alternatives, global cinema draws attention to new changes in subjectivity and community that Jeong investigates in terms of biopolitical 'abjection' and ethical 'agency.'In this frame, the book explores a vast net of post-1990 films circulating in both the mainstream market and the festival circuit.Jeong comparatively navigates these films, highlighting less essentialist particularities than compatible localities that perform universal aspects of biopolitical ethics and its alternatives by centering the narrative of 'double death': the abject as symbolically dead struggle for lost subjectivity or new agency until physically dying.This narrative pervades global cinema from Hollywood blockbusters and European art films to Middle Eastern dramas and Asian genre films.Ultimately, the book renews critical discourses on global issues—including multiculturalism, catastrophe, sovereignty, abjection, violence, network, nihilism, and atopia—through a core cluster of political, ethical, and psychoanalytic philosophies.

Contemporary Israeli Cinema : Trauma, Ethics and Temporality
Through analysis of the complex discourse surrounding trauma and loss, this book provides a necessary examination of temporality and ethics in Israeli film and television since the turn of the millennium.The author examines posttraumatic idioms of fragmentation and incoherence, highlighting the rising resistance towards generic categories, and the turn to unconventional and paradoxical structures with unique aesthetics.Maintaining that contemporary Israeli cinema has undergone an ethical shift, the author examines the revealing traumas and denied identities that also seek alternative ways to confront ethical question of accountability.It discusses the relationships between trauma, nationalism, and cinema through the intertwined perspectives of feminism, queer theory, and critical race and postcolonial studies, showing how national traumas are constructed by notions of gendered, sexual, and racial identity.This innovative text highlights the complexities of discourse surrounding trauma and loss, informed by multiple categories of difference.Across each chapter various elements of Israeli film are explored, spanning from strategies used to critically examine victim-perpetrator dynamics, co-existence in temporal space, women’s cinema in Israel, displacement, and queer communities and identity.Beyond its direct contribution to cinema studies and Israel studies, the book will be of interest to trauma and memory studies, postcolonial studies, gender and sexuality studies, Jewish studies, Middle Eastern studies, and cultural studies.

Lucretius II : An Ethics of Motion
Human suffering, the fear of death, war, poverty, ecological destruction and social inequality: almost 2,000 ago Lucretius proposed an ethics of motion as simple and stunning solution to these ethical problems.Thomas Nail argues that Lucretius was the first to locate the core of all these ethical ills in our obsession with stasis, our fear of movement and our hatred of matter.Instead of trying to transcend nature with our minds, escape it with our immortal souls and dominate it with our technologies, Lucretius was perhaps the first in the Western tradition to forcefully argue for a completely materialist, immanent and naturalistic ethics based on moving well with and as nature.If we want to survive and live well on this planet, Lucretius taught us, our best chance is not to struggle against nature but to embrace it and facilitate its movement.

Interactive Cinema : The Ambiguous Ethics of Media Participation
Connecting interactive cinema to media ethics and global citizenship Interactive Cinema explores various cinematic practices that work to transform what is often seen as a primarily receptive activity into a participatory, multimedia experience.Surveying a multitude of unorthodox approaches throughout the history of motion pictures, Marina Hassapopoulou offers insight into a range of largely ephemeral and site-specific projects that consciously assimilate viewers into their production. Analyzing examples of early cinema, Hollywood B movies, museum and gallery installations, virtual-reality experiments, and experimental web-based works, Hassapopoulou travels across numerous platforms, highlighting a diverse array of strategies that attempt to unsettle the allegedly passive spectatorship of traditional cinema.Through an exploration of these radically inventive approaches to the medium, many of which emerged out of sociopolitical crises and periods of historical transition, she works to expand notions of interactivity by considering it in both technological and phenomenological terms. Deliberately revising and expanding Eurocentric scholarship to propose a much broader, transnational scope, the book emphasizes the ethical dimensions of interactive media and their links to larger considerations around community building, citizenship, and democracy.By combining cutting-edge theory with updated conventional film studies methodologies, Interactive Cinema presses at the conceptual limits of cinema and offers an essential road map to the rapidly evolving landscape of contemporary media.

Does Kant's deontological ethics contradict Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics?
Kant's deontological ethics and Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics have some fundamental differences, but they do not necessarily contradict each other. Kant's ethics focus on duty and the intention behind actions, while Aristotle's ethics emphasize achieving eudaimonia, or human flourishing, through virtuous actions. While Kant's emphasis on duty can sometimes conflict with Aristotle's emphasis on virtue, both ethical theories ultimately aim to guide individuals towards leading a good and moral life. Therefore, while they may approach ethics from different perspectives, they can be seen as complementary rather than contradictory.

Is Nicomachean Ethics the same as Virtue Ethics?
Nicomachean Ethics is a specific work by Aristotle that is considered one of the foundational texts in virtue ethics. While Nicomachean Ethics is a key text within the broader framework of virtue ethics, virtue ethics itself is a broader ethical theory that encompasses various other works and perspectives beyond just Aristotle's. So, while Nicomachean Ethics is a significant part of virtue ethics, they are not exactly the same thing.

Ethics
Dietrich von Hildebrand offers here the most nuanced version that we have of a value-based ethics, building on the ethics of Max Scheler, but going far beyond it. The Prolegomena of the work gives an account of Hildebrand's understanding of phenomenology. In the first fourteen chapters Hildebrand lays out a general theory of value, in which he distinguishes himself from his predecessors by not limiting value to the sense of what is good for the human person, but instead placing at the center of his reflections what is good and worthy in itself, prior to its beneficent impact on human persons. On this basis he develops his signature concept of value-response, wherein a person gives value its due, along with his signature concept of the transcendence of the person in value-response. He re-thinks virtue theory on the basis of his value philosophy, and in doing so he places virtue at the center of his ethics long before the revival of virtue theory in Anglo-American thought. Of particular importance is his re-thinking of moral evil in its different forms, and he throws new light on the question how it is possible knowingly to do wrong. The book concludes with probing account of the religious dimension of the moral life and the place of God in morality.

While responsibility ethics emphasizes the immediate impact of our actions, future ethics considers the broader and long-term effects of our decisions on the well-being of future generations and the sustainability of the planet. Both are important aspects of ethical decision-making, but they address different time frames and perspectives.

What is the difference between deontological ethics and utilitarian ethics?
Deontological ethics, also known as duty-based ethics, focuses on the inherent rightness or wrongness of actions themselves, regardless of their consequences. This means that certain actions are considered morally right or wrong based on whether they adhere to a set of rules or principles. On the other hand, utilitarian ethics, also known as consequentialist ethics, evaluates the morality of actions based on their outcomes or consequences. In utilitarianism, the rightness or wrongness of an action is determined by its ability to produce the greatest overall happiness or pleasure for the greatest number of people.
