Editors’ Note

Author(s): / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Welcome to our spring 2021 issue of The Agonist: “The Antichrist.” We would like to thank all of our contributing writers and dedicated editorial team. We would also like to express our enormous gratitude to our new publishers, Ibrahim Sirkeci and the Transnational Press London. We look forward to working with you! In this issue our writers present four essays that once again rethink our relationship with Nietzsche’s controversial, later writings. Robert Malka explores the ways in which a story can find its basis in both the self and the world in Nietzsche's works. Gary Shapiro reimagines Nietzsche as a proto-ecologist or prophet of environmentalism. Bradley Kaye mines the strange affinities between Nietzsche and Pelagianism. And finally, Thomas Steinbuch treats us to “Cursing the Curse: Nietzsche on the Machiavellianism of Pity” in the early sections of The Antichrist.

We live in an era of intense turbulence of much disenchantment and bewilderment. Geopolitical tensions are deepening and are transforming international relations. Political tribalism is revealing deep divisions between nations and the political and economic failures of countries are causing mass exoduses from Belarus, Libya, Afghanistan or Venezuela to name a few. The pandemic caused by the SARS-COV2 virus has accentuated these changes, as expressed in the latest Oxfam report (2021) calling it the virus of inequality, where more than 2 million people have lost their lives and hundreds of millions have fallen into poverty, while most of the world's richest people and companies remain the richest on the planet. Their multimillion-dollar wealth has returned to pre-pandemic levels in just nine months, while for the poorest it could take more than a decade to emerge from the impacts of the pandemic (Berkhout, Galasso, Lawson, Rivero Morales & Taneja, 2022).

Editörden: Göç Ekonomisi Özel Sayısı

Author(s): / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2022

UNHCR’ın istatistiklerine göre 2020’nin sonunda toplam 82,4 milyon zorla yerinden edilmiş kişi bulunmaktadır ve bunların 26,2 milyonu mülteci statüsündedir. Ayrıca mültecilerin de %86’sı kalkınmakta olan ülkelerde yaşamaktadırlar. 2011’den önce göç yazınında daha çok Avrupa’daki Türk göçmenler ve şehirleşme bağlamlarında ele alınan Türkiye, günümüzde en fazla mülteciye ve mülteci çocuğa ev sahipliği yapan ülke olarak göçün ekonomiye etkisi konusunda incelenmesi gereken önemli araştırma sahalarından biri haline gelmiştir.

Introduction

Author(s): / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

On behalf of myself and the editors for this debut edition, Yunus Tuncel and Francesca Ferrando, we are most pleased to offer the first publication of the World Posthuman Society, which we name “Infinity.” The papers collected here were presented at the 24th World Congress of Philosophy, held in Beijing in 2018. The papers are drawn from roundtables and workshops organized to accommodate the surging interest in posthumanism. The reader may accept my assurance that these pages are contained some of the most avant-garde thinking in this bourgeoning movement in philosophy.

Remittances are the funds transferred from migrants to their homes and home countries. They are the private savings of workers and families that are spent on food and clothing among other things, and at a macro-level, they are often critical to a nation’s overall financial health. While remittances can be much more, much of our discussion of the macro-level impacts of remittances are framed around discussion of develop and dependency and note how states use (or misuse) remittances as well as the critical role remittances play as measured against international aid. These discussions will often and inevitably hinge on the positive outcomes that lead to development (whether at the level of the household, community and/or state) or the negative impacts of remittance activity that drives increasing dependency. In this issue of Remittances Review, our authors push beyond the development/dependency debate and explore a series of often unasked questions that capture the dynamic outcomes (and surprises) that are central to remittances practices and critical to the growth and maturity of theory and analysis.

Urzędnicy braniewscy w średniowieczu i epoce nowożytnej (do 1772 r.). Uwagi na marginesie spisów opracowanych przez Danutę Bogdan i Jerzego Przerackiego

Author(s): Radosław Krajniak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 82/2021

The aim of the paper is to provide a critical assessment of the registries of town clerks in the Old Town and New Town of Braniewo (until 1772) compiled by Danuta Bogdan and Jerzy Przeracki. With all due respect given to the Authors and the effort they put into the project, the article points to some omissions and a number of errors and inconsistencies of varying importance and nature. A lot of attention is paid to relatively frequent disparities between the material collected in annual lists and the data compiled in the name index.
