Institution
The pandemic has brought into sharp relief the fundamental relationship between institution and human life: at the very moment when the virus was threatening to destroy life, human beings called upon institutions – on governments, on health systems, on new norms of behavior – to combat the virus and preserve life.Drawing on this and other examples, Roberto Esposito argues that institutions and human life are not opposed to one another but rather two sides of a single figure that, together, delineate the vital character of institutions and the instituting power of life.What else is life, after all, if not a continuous institution, a capacity for self-regeneration along new and unexplored paths?No human life is reducible to pure survival, to “bare life.” There is always a point at which life reaches out beyond primary needs, entering into the realm of desires and choices, passions and projects, and at that point human life becomes instituted: it becomes part of the web of relations that constitute social, political, and cultural life.

Film Criticism as a Cultural Institution
At the beginning of the 21st century film criticism was described as in crisis.The decline of print journalism, a series of lay-offs of prominent critics, and the rise of "amateur" reviewing online spurred a conversation about the decline, even death, of film criticism.This discourse flourished in part because film criticism has been little examined in scholarship to date.This book takes a deeper look at film criticism by focusing on its institutional contours.This is achieved through a combination of archival research and interviews with prominent film critics and stakeholders, including Adrian Martin (LOLA), Stephanie Zacharek (Time), Peter Bart (Variety), and Andrew Sarris (The Village Voice).Film Criticism as a Cultural Institution first examines the contemporary crisis conversation surrounding film criticism, comparing this to historical precedents.It then provides what today’s crisis conversation does not: an account of film criticism’s institutional formations.Using primarily U.S. and Australian case studies based on interviews, observation and archival research—as well as accounts from other national schools—the book maps contemporary film criticism.Across various sites, such as publications or online spaces, and organisations, such as film critics circles, it elucidates film criticism’s institutional practices, tasks, comportments, and personae.Looking at the history of conversations about film criticism shows us that "crisis" has always been a leitmotif.While acknowledging the considerable changes and challenges that film criticism faces today, this book situates these within an historical context and proposes an institutional framework that allows us to move beyond crisis discourse.Looking at film criticism in this way allows us to see that the very question of what counts as film criticism is continually contested within an institutional ecology made up of distinctive critical comportments addressed to distinctive audiences.

What is the difference between mantra meditation and mindfulness meditation?
Mantra meditation involves focusing on a specific word, phrase, or sound to quiet the mind and cultivate a sense of inner peace. This repetition helps to anchor the mind and prevent distractions. On the other hand, mindfulness meditation involves being fully present in the moment, observing thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. It emphasizes awareness of the present moment and acceptance of whatever arises. Both practices can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being, but they differ in their specific techniques and focuses.
