First draft of my Ph.D is done!
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

Friday, 27th January 2012: 4pm. 2 years and four months into my efforts. The first draft of my Ph.D is now done! I have 81,000 words excluding introduction and conclusion, so some cutting needs to be done. Editing this is going to take at least a couple of months (some parts need beefing up, others paring down), by my estimates, but my last AHRC funding installment arrives in June, so I'm feeling confident.

This short piece provides the cumulative textual evidence that Pynchon consulted a single source, Golder, F.A., 1915. "The Russian Fleet and the Civil War". The American Historical Review, 20(4), pp.801-812, to construct the historicity of the Peter Pinguid Society episode in  The Crying of Lot 49  , as opposed to consulting the original Arkhiv Morskogo Ministerstva, Dielo Kantseliarii Morskogo Ministerstva, no. 91, pt.

It's not P.T. Anderson, but someone has started an Inherent Vice adaptation
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

While we wait for news on the Hollywood adaptation, it seems that Jeff Hoyt has taken matters into his own hands and put together an adaptation of the first scene of Thomas Pynchon's  Inherent Vice  starring Orien Longo and Rachel Kadison. I'm sceptical about Pynchon ever making good movie material, but judge for yourselves.

Adorno terminology: τοδε τι
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

"that expressionism was more powerful as an idea than in its works perhaps has its origins in the fact that its utopia of the pure τοδε τι is itself a fragment of false consciousness." (Adorno, Theodor W. Aesthetic Theory. Edited by Gretel Adorno and Rolf Tiedemann. Translated by Robert Hullot-Kentor. London: Continuum, 2004. p. 239.) τοδε τι = "a this", “some this”, "a something"; a separate individuated substance. From Aristotle.
UKSG Conference: photos and slides
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

Last week I attended, and presented a keynote in the opening plenary at, my first academic publishing conference: the UK Serials Group conference. As I'm usually confined to English Literature, this was a bizarre experience; they put me up in a hotel, the conference meal was included free with drinks and a band + dancing, all my travel was covered. It was also massive. 860 delegates outstrips any conference that I've attended for literature.
The problems for small Open Access journals in terms of digital preservation
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

So, it looks, with the easy reach of software such as Open Journal Systems and Annotum, as though anybody can create a journal. This is, to a large extent, true. It comes, however, with a problem. Even assuming that you get the editorial board together, have a great first issue and the journal continues, what happens (to take an extreme case) if the server admin dies (I mean real, physical human death)? What happens to the content?

Talawa's Waiting for Godot

Published: October 2023

Yesterday I had the extremely good fortune to see Talawa's production of Samuel Beckett's  Waiting for Godot  at the Albany Theatre in Deptford. It had been hyped in the media as the first British all-Black Godot. While the ethnicity of the performers is integral to the performance and the skills, speech patterns, accents and mannerisms that they bring, it didn't need this hype.

Of the worthy causes you'll see in the world, War Child is surely high up that list. For the uniformed: Well, now you have a chance to support this cause and to also see the musical genius that is Leftfield live while doing so. Leftfield have been, for over ten years now, the defining music in my life.

Protecting Your Assets: Backing up your Academic Work
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

I will be running, on the 31st January, a workshop for Sussex researchers on protecting their assets; aka. backing up their work. After the first year of my Ph.D I had a nasty scare when my laptop was stolen on my journey home (I had a migraine, effectively passed out and didn't notice someone simply take my bag from beneath me on the train). This could have been dire. Fortunately, though, I take backup and encryption very seriously.
My day as a Higher Ed researcher
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

A growing criticism mounted by students/parents of students is the trite argument that there are too few contact hours. Anybody who works as a researcher/lecturer/tutor can demolish this argument in two seconds flat, but the problem now seems to be extending to HR managers, who apparently think that their staff only work about 1/2 the year (ie. when students are around). Let me point something out.

Türkiye’de Sağlık Turizminin Finansal Piyasalara Etkisi
Authors: DEMİREL Dr.öğretim Üyesi Serkan , ŞAHİN Ayşenur
Published: October 2023

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de sağlık turizminin finansal piyasalara olan etkisini analiz etmektir. Bu amaçla çalışmada sağlık turizmi değişkeni olarak Türkiye’nin sağlık turizm gelirleri, finansal piyasa değişkeni olarak dolar/TL kuru ve Bist100 endeksi verileri kullanılmıştır. Değişkenlere ait verilerin 2002-2023 yıllarının çeyrek dönemlerine ait Merkez Bankası ve TÜİK verileri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada oluşturulan modelde bağımlı ve bağımsız veri setlerine ilişkin yapılan serilerin durağan olup olmadıkları Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) birim kök testi ve Phillips–Perron (PP) birim kök testleri ile sınanmıştır. Farklı mertebelerde durağan değişkenler arasındaki eşbütünleşme ilişkilerinin incelenmesi ARDL Eşbütünleşme analiz yöntemiyle sağlanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularında verilen uzun dönem dengesinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olup olmadığının gösterilmesinde kullanılan F sınır testi istatistiği incelendiğinde hesaplanan F istatistiğinin %1 kritik değerlerden büyük olduğu görülmüş ve %1 anlamlılık düzeyinde eş bütünleşme olmadığını ifade eden sıfır hipotezi reddedilmiştir. Daha açık bir ifade ile ele alınan dönem için sağlık turizmi gelirleri ile Bist100 endeksi ve dolar/TL kuru arasında uzun dönemli bir denge ilişkisinin olduğu söylenebilir. Bist100 endeksinin uzun dönem katsayısı incelendiğinde %1 anlamlılık düzeyinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif bir uzun dönem katsayısının hesaplandığı görülmektedir. Bu durumda ele alınan dönem boyunca uzun dönemde sağlık turizmi gelirlerindeki %1’lik bir artışın/azalışın Bist100 endeksinde %1.21’lik bir artışa/azalışa sebep olduğu söylenebilir. Dolar/TL kuru endeksinin uzun dönem katsayısı incelendiğinde ise %10 anlamlılık düzeyinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif bir uzun dönem katsayısının hesaplandığı görülmektedir. Bu durumda ele alınan dönem boyunca uzun dönemde sağlık turizmi gelirlerindeki %1’lik bir azalışın/artışın dolar/TL endeksinde %4.22’lik bir artışa/azalışa sebep olduğu söylenebilir.
Distopik Romanlarda Yiyeceğin Kullanımı: Açlık Oyunları Serisi, Maddaddam Üçlemesi ve Sineklerin Tanrısı
Authors: KOÇ Fatma , YAŞAR Esra
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmada, edebi bir tür olan distopik romanlarda yemek ve beslenme ögelerinin nasıl kullanıldığı incelenmektedir. Distopya türü, toplumun karanlık bir gelecekte baskıcı bir rejim veya çevresel felaketler tarafından yönetildiği kurgusal dünyalarda geçen hikayeleri ifade etmektedir. Bu romanlarda yemek ve beslenme otorite, sınırlama ve bireysel özgürlük gibi önemli ögelerin bir parçası olarak kullanılmaktadır. Distopyalarda, yemek genellikle sınırlı ve kısıtlıdır. Romanlardaki otoriter rejimler, yiyecek tedarikini elde tutarak halkı kontrol etmeye çalışmakta ve dağıtım merkezleri gibi yöntemlerle insanların besin alımlarını düzenlemektir. Bu durum, halkın açlıkla mücadele ettiği ve temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için kaynaklarını paylaşmak zorunda kaldığı bir toplum yaratılmasına neden olmaktadır. Distopik romanlarda yemek aynı zamanda toplumun sosyal ve kültürel yönlerini de etkilemektedir. Bir araya gelmek, sınırlı kaynakları paylaşmak ve dayanışma içinde yaşamak, insanların baskıcı koşullarda birbirlerine destek olmasını sağlamaktadır. Ancak bu durum, bireysel ifadeyi ve farklı lezzetleri yok etmektedir. Distopik romanlarda, karakterlerin yiyecek tüketimi üzerinden toplumsal bağlarını ve kişiliklerini nasıl korudukları veya kaybettikleri anlatılmaktadır. Çalışmada, Açlık Oyunları serisi, MaddAddam üçlemesi ve Sineklerin Tanrısı romanlarında vurgulanan yiyecek, su ve diğer temel ihtiyaçların sınırlılığı, çevresel felaketler ve totaliter yönetimin toplum üzerindeki etkisi incelenecektir.
Makroekonomik Şokların Tüketim Harcamalarına Etkisi: Türkiye Örneği
Authors: ARSLAN Ferhan
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, makroekonomik değişkenlerde meydana gelen şokların tüketim harcamaları üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Bu kapsamda Türkiye'de 2003Q1-2022Q4 çeyrek dönemlik zaman diliminde hane halkı tüketim harcamaları, gelir, enflasyon, reel döviz kuru, işsizlik ve faiz oranları verileri kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek için VAR modeli ve Granger Nedensellik testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, incelenen dönemde gelir değişkeni ile tüketim arasında çift yönlü Granger Nedensellik tespit edilmiştir, işsizlik ve faiz değişkenlerinden tüketim harcamalarına doğru tek yönlü Granger Nedensellik tespit edilmiştir. Etki-Tepki analizi sonuçlarına göre işsizlik, faiz oranları, reel döviz kuru oranları ve enflasyon değişkenleriyle tüketim harcamaları arasında negatif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca gelir değişkeni ile tüketim harcamaları arasında pozitif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Varyans ayrıştırması sonuçlarına göre incelenen dönemde tüketimde meydana gelen değişimlerin ortalama %88'si tüketim, %5'i faiz, %3'ü reel döviz kuru, %1'i işsizlik ve %2'si gelir değişkeni tarafından açıklanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, Türkiye'nin makroekonomik politika oluştururken faiz oranlarına ve döviz kuru dalgalanmalarına dikkat etmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.

It also described playlists developed for the 7-hour psychedelic experience and the qualities of music chosen for them.
The Bonny Method in the Treatment of Depression: A Multi-Site Randomized Controlled Feasibility Study
Authors: Honig Timothy , McKinney Cathy , Hannibal Niels
Published: October 2023

A multi-site randomized controlled feasibility study using a parallel design was conducted to determine the feasibility of the trial design and to provide preliminary evidence for whether the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) has an effect on depression, anxiety, stress, and mental wellbeing in persons with depression. Participants (N = 14) with depression were randomly allocated to either receive a series of 10 biweekly individual GIM sessions or a waitlist period followed by a series of group GIM sessions. Participants completed the Inventory of Depressive Symptomotology–Self-Report; Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales; and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale at pretest, midpoint, posttest, and 6-week followup. After onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, recruitment was terminated early and sessions were shifted to telehealth. Results indicate that the design is feasible with minor adjustments, and that the GIM condition had high safety, tolerability, and acceptability. Treatment outcome analyses are also reported.
The Bonny Method for Children: Adapting the Method, Selecting the Music
Authors: Reher Mary
Published: October 2023

This article outlines examples from some of the many practitioners who utilize GIM with children and youth. The adapted forms for this population can include structural changes (e.g., shortened duration of music and induction) or a greater variety of processing methods (e.g., sand play or musical improvisation). After describing some of my own experiences with adapting GIM to the needs of children, I include a list of musical selections that are appropriate for sessions with young listeners.
Mythology in Guided Imagery and Music (GIM): Practitioners’ Views on the Use of Myth in GIM
Authors: Katopi Marianna
Published: October 2023

This research explores therapists’ perception about the use of myth in GIM, based on clients’ experiences and how myths occur during the GIM process. Six GIM practitioners were interviewed through Skype and phone conversations using semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed that practitioners experience myth as a bridge for the unexpressed to be expressed. The clients give meaning to myth through their journey in the form of private myth. Based on the practitioners’ view, there is something from the collective in each client’s myth, and the path of healing depends on the client’s personal development. The therapists work together with clients, showing cultural sensitivity, and music unfolds like a story, containing all the qualities of myth (intensity and education).
Therapists’ Processes of Selecting Music for Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music Sessions
Authors: Abbott Elaine
Published: October 2023

The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music is a music-centered therapy, and the therapist’s selection of music is central to the therapeutic process. With the purpose of supporting, negating, or expanding on ideas in the literature about therapists’ music selection processes, six therapists’ experiences of selecting music were analyzed using existential phenomenological methods. The therapists considered several factors throughout a multi-step process when selecting music. They considered factors related to the client, the therapist, the session context and the client-therapist relationship. The steps they took included bringing music to mind, checking the fit of music, rejecting programs or pieces, dealing with personal reactions, making a final decision, and listening for fit. Rich description of both factors and steps is provided in the results. Many factors and steps identified through data analysis were in alignment with those described in the literature.

Focused Music Imagery (FMI): Pathway Through the Psyche
Authors: Dimiceli-Mitran Louise
Published: October 2023

Focused Music Imagery (FMI) has emerged as a unique modification of The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music that provides a safer, more contained imagery experience. Its hallmark is the use of a focus that is mutually agreed upon by therapist and client and spoken over the music via a talkover to hold the client’s concentration on the topic. The history of FMI, elements of the session, music selection, procedure and concepts are discussed as well as case examples of supportive and reeducative sessions with mandalas.
Introducing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music
Authors: Lingafelt Hannah
Published: October 2023

The Bonny method guided imagery and music (GIM) is a depth approach to therapy that uses music to support letting go of cognitive control to explore different levels of consciousness. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a third-wave behavior therapy focusing on using mindfulness, acceptance, and spirituality to support clients in increasing psychological flexibility. While on the surface the two approaches may appear very different, when used in conjunction, they can synergistically work together to amplify the other’s effects. This paper provides background information on both modalities as well as a case study illustrating how ACT was used to guide the GIM process of a male client learning how to let go of control.
Exploration of the Depth of GIM with Medical Patients
Authors: Yoshihara Nami
Published: October 2023

Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) is a form of music psychotherapy known for its in-depth capacity. GIM has been applied to various medical patients; however, literature shows that patients in medical settings have physical limitations related to receiving GIM. The current research study asked why therapists use GIM with medical patients, how they perceive the depth of GIM, how limitations influence the therapists’ choice of the depth of GIM, and how therapists know the appropriate depth for medical patients. Modified grounded theory was used to analyze semistructured interviews with four GIM therapists. Five main categories emerged: Medical GIM, Past-present-future, Limitations, Competency, and Depth. The findings illustrated that the depth of GIM was understood through a delicate balance among patients’ needs, limitations, and therapists’ competency.

GIM During Active Treatment for Cancer: Considerations for Clinical Practice
Authors: Papanikolaou Evangelia
Published: October 2023

Some attempts have been made to use modifications of GIM in various stages of cancer care for individuals or groups. No attempt has been made so far to use the classical model of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) by Helen Bonny involving spontaneous imagery and interactive dialogue during the music in individual sessions concurrent with active treatment of cancer, mainly chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment. This paper describes the process and aspects of working with GIM with patients during the period of active treatment for gynecologic and breast cancer. This paper is based on qualitative results of a research study at Aalborg University, combined with the author’s experience as a clinician in cancer care over the years.
