The enigma of validity: Speculations on the last paragraph of Donner le temps II by Rezende Gabriel

“…In this paper, I will trace some of the clues Derrida leaves in Donner le temps II and other texts, arguing that the “mystery of normativity” is bound to the ambiguous status of legality within metaphysics.

Waking the ruin: Graham Harman’s object-oriented ontology, photogrammetry and the dami of Imbros by Sevcan Ercan, Joe Graham

“…Within the context of a philosophy that prioritises objects and stresses the looseness of the bond between objects and their own qualities, Harman’s recently articulated focus on ‘zeroing’ form and function in order to engage the withdrawn reality of buildings on an aesthetic level offers a case in point. Applying Harman’s metaphysics in conjunction with 3D photogrammetry treated as an aesthetic technique, this article interrogates a type of ruin – dami (plural damia) found on the North Aegean Island of Imbros/Gökçeada – with a view to stimulating them ‘awake’. …”
