    Bildung as Cultural Participation: The Prereflective and Reflective Self in Hegel’s Phenomenology.Nisar Alungal Chungath - 2024 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 41 (1):117-138.
    Contemporary poststructural and hermeneutical theories emphasize the prereflective opacity of the self and the consequent inarticulateness concerning the deep prereflective layers (‘prejudices’) of self-understanding. Some of such ontologically significant prejudices, some hermeneutical views hold, are inescapable and so the self cannot reflectively refuse or overcome them. This paper proposes the Hegelian notion of self-consciousness in the Phenomenology as the restless, unreflective–reflective negation of its own nothingness or contingent, open givenness as an alternative that both accepts the hermeneutical insight concerning the (...)

    (Un)Becoming a Man: Legal Consciousness of the Third Gender Category in Pakistan.Muhammad Azfar Nisar - 2018 - Gender and Society 32 (1):59-81.
    In the past decade, a few countries have created a third gender category to legally recognize gender-nonconforming individuals. However, we know relatively little about the response of the gender-nonconforming individuals toward the legal third gender category. To address this gap, this article analyzes the different social, religious, and institutional discourses that have emerged around the recently created third gender category in Pakistan and their influence on the legal consciousness of the Khawaja Sira community, a marginalized gender-nonconforming group. Even though the (...)

    “I Am Datafied Because We Are Datafied”: an Ubuntu Perspective on (Relational) Privacy.Urbano Reviglio & Rogers Alunge - 2020 - Philosophy and Technology 33 (4):595-612.
    The debate on the ethics of privacy has been mainly dominated by Western perspectives, to the exclusion of broader ethical theories and socio-cultural perspectives. This imbalance carries risks; transplanted ethical norms and values can collide with those of the communities in which they are deployed. The consequent homogenization might also represent a missed opportunity to enrich and develop the current paradigm of privacy protection so as to effectively face new technological challenges. This article introduces and discusses the sub-Saharan philosophy of (...)

    Participative cultural productions of the oppressed: The master-servant dialectic through an Indian lens.A. C. Nisar - 2020 - Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology 20 (1):e1850474.
    The master-servant and self-substance dialectic in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit presents the self as reflectively negating the particularities of its natural consciousness and transcending towards the social substance in order to inscribe its culturally refined self-conception upon the universal substance. Hegel argues that the reflective and determinate negations of the subordinated self by means of participative cultural production (Bildung) lead to the overcoming of servitude and subordination. That is, the actions of the supposedly ‘inessential’ servant-selfhood lead to freedom and disallows (...)

    Segmentation of Activated Sludge Flocs in Microscopic Images for Monitoring Wastewater Treatment.Ahmed Elaraby, Walid Hamdy, Humaira Nisar & Monagi H. Alkinani - 2022 - Complexity 2022:1-10.
    The proposed work describes an approach for segmentation of activated sludge flocs from the microscopic images for monitoring wastewater treatment. The morphological features of flocs and filaments are related to the state of an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant and must be monitored for proper functioning. Hence, image processing and analysis could be a time-saving monitoring tool. To address this challenge, we propose a novel framework involving a multiphase edge detection algorithm based on information theory. The proposed framework is evaluated (...)

    Can organizations get away with greenwashing? CSR attributions and counterproductive sustainability behaviors.Ifzal Ahmad, Dima Rachid Jamali & Muhammad Nisar Khattak - forthcoming - Business Ethics, the Environment and Responsibility.
    Over the past couple of decades, research on the perks of corporate social responsibility has reported that it is a source of competitive advantage and can increase the bottom-line performance of the organization. However, a somewhat small proportion of this research is focused on the ‘greenwash’ side, which posits that not all CSR would lead to positive impacts. By extending this line of research, the current study is aimed at investigating the differential impacts of CSR by developing a scale for (...)
