Published: September 2020

To assess the health-related quality of life of children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 97 male and female patients aged 5 to 18 years with clinical and laboratory diagnosis of SCD, seen at the Hematology and Hemotherapy Hospital of Pernambuco. The Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM questionnaires, version 4.0 – child/adolescent report – were applied. Most patients were female (76.3%), had sickle cell anemia (89.7%) and mixed race (59.8%). There was a significant association in the psychosocial domain between age groups 5 to 7 (72.10) and 8 to 12 years (p≤0.05), the latter of which had the worst quality of life score (65.36). There were significant differences between sexes only in patients aged 13 to 18 years for physical functioning and for the overall mean of the domains. The means in both cases were higher in female patients than in male ones (70.89 x 56.88 for physical functioning and 71.72 x 59.77 for the overall mean of the domains). Poor quality of life was observed among children and adolescents with SCD, with negative impacts according to age and sex.

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o processo de reparo periodontal de dentes de ratos reimplantados conservados em solução de α e β-amirina a 10%. Foram utilizados incisivos superiores direitos de 36 ratos divididos em 3 grupos, os dentes foram extraídos e deixados em meio seco e no respectivo meio de conservação por 20 minutos e reimplantados. A divisão dos grupos foi de acordo com o meio de conservação utilizado: SO – soro fisiológico 0,9%; AMSC - solução de α e β-amirina a 10%, sem tratamento endodôntico; e AMCC - solução de α e β-amirina a 10%, com tratamento endodôntico. Após 60 dias foi realizada eutanásia por perfusão transcardíaca. Os cortes obtidos foram corados em Hematoxilina e Eosina e Picrosirius Red. Foi avaliada matriz extracelular e vasos sanguíneos, perfil nuclear, fibras colágenas, organização do ligamento periodontal, extensão e intensidade do processo inflamatório, reabsorção dentária e anquilose. O teste de Kruskal-Wallis foi utilizado para comparação entre grupos. Dentre as diferenças significativas, o terço apical da raiz no grupo AMCC obteve maior área de vasos sanguíneos em comparação a SO, menor área de fibras colágenas de birrefringência vermelha e maior de fibras verdes, ao contrário, AMSC apresentou maior área de fibras de birrefringência vermelha e menor de fibras verdes. As outras variáveis não apresentaram diferença entre os grupos. Conclui-se que a mistura de α e β-amirina em ambiente pré-clínico mostrou possuir potencial para utilização como meio de conservação em avulsão dentária.

O gênero Capsicum abrange as espécies de pimentões e pimentas. A produção e comercialização de pimentas tem grande importância no Brasil, entretanto as sementes dessa cultura tendem a apresentar dormência, processo caracterizado pelo atraso da germinação. Desse modo, objetivou-se a avaliar o efeito de diferentes métodos de quebra de dormência em sementes de pimenta ‘Cumari Verdadeira’. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizados com cinco tratamentos e cinco repetições. Os tratamentos utilizados foram: choque térmico, escarificação mecânica, luz solar, escarificação química (KNO3) e o controle (sementes sem quebra de dormência). Os métodos de quebra de dormência por choque térmico e escarificação mecânica apresentaram os maiores índices de germinação de sementes de pimenta ‘Cumari Verdadeira’. O método utilizando Luz Solar apresentou o pior resultado nas condições avaliadas, não sendo recomendado para a quebra de dormência de sementes de pimenta ‘Cumari Verdadeira’.

A pesquisa de laboratório teve o objetivo de avaliar produtividade de 5 híbridos de tomate (Apolo, Serato, Vento, Candieiro e Pioneiro) em um sistema aquapônico associado a criação de tilápias. O delineamento experimental empregado foi inteiramente casualizado, com 5 tratamentos (variedades de tomate) e quatro repetições. Cada repetição compreendeu um bloco de cultivo, uma área de um metro quadrado com 6 plantas. Foram monitorados os seguintes parâmetros da água do sistema: oxigênio dissolvido, pH, condutividade elétrica, temperatura mínima e máxima. A colheita foi realizada semanalmente entre o período de 05/01/2018 a 24/01/2018, totalizando quatro colheitas. No momento da colheita, foi determinada a massa e as medidas de cada fruto (diâmetro transversal e comprimento longitudinal). Os resultados foram analisados por meio de análise de variância pelo teste F e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey, a 5% de probabilidade. O híbrido Apolo foi o que apresentou maior produtividade média total (104,53 t ha-1), com incrementos de produtividade variando de 19 a 61% em relação aos demais híbridos. As produtividades alcançadas podem ser consideradas elevadas e equivalentes a valores obtidos em cultivo convencional, em solo.

Hemangiomas são lesões benignas de origem vascular comuns na região da cabeça e pescoço, mas dificilmente surgem em cavidade bucal. O manejo e o conhecimento das técnicas diagnósticas são fundamentais para o diagnóstico diferencial. O oleato de monoetanolamina, como agente esclerosante, promove uma reação inflamatória levando a fibrose endotelial, sendo eficaz no tratamento de lesões vasculares benignas da cavidade bucal; além das reações adversas serem de baixa intensidade e pouco relatadas na literatura; mostrando-se uma alternativa ao tratamento cirúrgico. Este trabalho teve por proposito relatar uma série de casos de pacientes submetidos à escleroterapia e discutir os resultados do tratamento de lesões vasculares bucais benignas com oleato de monoetanolamina. Quatro pacientes compareceram no serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Buco-Maxilo-Facial do Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz (CTBMF/HUOC/UPE) – Recife/PE com queixa de lesão oral. Após exame clínico detalhado e a utilização da vitropressão foram obtidos os diagnósticos de hemangiomas optando-se pelo tratamento à base de escleroterapia com oleato de monoetanolamina apresentando satisfatória resolução clínica. Nos casos aqui relatados, o agente esclerosante mostrou-se eficaz para o tratamento de hemangiomas em cavidade bucal.

Authors: Gastl Filho Josef , Resende Millena Almeida , Silva Flávio Caldeira
Published: September 2020

Studying the stability of the raw material as a function of the storage time is fundamental to establish the characteristics performance and to determine the period that it should be stored. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the stability of the alcoholic extract for 28 days of storage. It was performed in a completely randomized and split-plot design (3x5) with 3 repetitions and using the following formulation: 500 g of banana components (peel, pulp or peel plus pulp), 1000 mL of cereal alcohol 96 ºGL and maceration process for fifteen days. Filtered alcoholic extracts were stored in a dark place at room temperature for analysis of colorimetric parameters Luminosity, hue, chroma, chromaticity a* and chromaticity b*. Results showed that storage period for 28 days significantly affected stability, promoting notable reduction in Luminosity, hue, chromaticity b* and chroma and also increased the chromaticity value chromaticity a*. It was observed that the banana pulp alcoholic extract showed the highest values for Luminosity and hue, and the banana peel alcoholic extract stood out in relation to the chromaticity chroma, chromaticity a* and chromaticity b*. The information obtained through colorimetric parameters can be used by the food industry to establish procedures that mitigate the effects of the storage period in the raw material, since the characteristics inherent to the raw material are significantly changed over time and result in changes in the quality of the final product.

O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar a experiência de uma modalidade de educação remota na cidade de Caicó, estado do Rio Grande do Norte, EJA em Ação, na excepcionalidade de distanciamento social ocasionado pela pandemia de Covid-19. Com a necessidade do isolamento social, a comunidade escolar é desafiada a proporcionar uma “continuidade” da relação professor e aluno em outros espaços não escolares. Como exercício comparativo, tomar-se-á a experiência histórica na década de 1960, a instalação da Emissora de Educação Rural, com a implantação do Movimento de Educação de Base – MEB e o uso do rádio como elemento mediador do ensino-aprendizagem. Foi através das ondas do rádio que as informações sobre saúde, evangelização e educação chegaram até as residências de grande parte da população caicoense. Os vestígios dessa memória, de uma educação através do rádio, é um dos fios condutores da releitura das escolas radiofônicas nos tempos atuais. A metodologia aplicada se dará através da análise da discussão dos “lugares de memória” de Pierre Nora, do rádio como mediador e ferramenta pedagógica no ensino e a análise das publicações nos meios de comunicação sobre o Projeto EJA em Ação, realizando exercício comparativo entre as temporalidades do Movimento de Educação de Base – MEB e o Projeto EJA em Ação na cidade de Caicó..

Authors: Silvino Valmir Oliveira , Souza Junior Valtemir Silvino de , Brito Mariana Carneiro , Cunha George Carvalho da
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Flexibility is a component of physical fitness, important not only for health promotion, but also for performance in several sports. Body mass index (BMI) is an easy and fast method to evaluate the nutritional status of a population. Objective: The objective of the present study was to compare the level of lower body flexibility and BMI between adolescent recreational practitioners and non-practitioners of futsal. Methodology: Twenty futsal players (age 12 ± 1.3 years, weight 48.12 ± 3.71 kg, height 156.53 ± 4.9 cm) and twenty controls (age 11.7 ± 0.9 years, weight 41.73 ± 3.25 kg, height 153.70 ± 4.0 cm) participated in the study. The subjects had their body weight and height assessed using a digital scale and a wall-mounted stadiometer, respectively. The flexibility was assessed through the sit-and-reach test using a modified Wells Bench. One-way ANOVA was used to determine differences between the groups. Result: Futsal recreational athletes presented higher body mass (p < 0.01, d = 1.83), higher BMI (p < 0.01, d = 1.07) and higher flexibility levels (p < 0.01, d = 2.25). Conclusion: The practice of futsal plays an important role in the improvement of body mass management and flexibility. Further studies with other populations are suggested.

A laserterapia de baixa potência é utilizada como recurso terapêutico médico e odontológico, com intuito de possibilitar seu efeito terapêutico sobre o organismo. Ensaios experimentais tanto laboratoriais como em modelo animal, com critério metodológico bem delimitado, sugerem que a laserterapia de baixa potência (LLLT – Low Level Laser Therapy) modula diversos processos biológicos em modelos animais depois de expostos a algum trauma. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a biomodulação da osteogênese através do laser infravermelho, na calota craniana de ratos após a confecção de defeitos críticos. Procedeu-se à análise das reações biológicas dos tecidos submetidos ao laser, comparando-se a intensidade de neoformação óssea, distribuídos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos. Os grupos controles (GC-I-II) não receberam laser; os testes (GT-I-II), foram tratados com laser infravermelho, em ambos 2J/cm2 e 90mW. O sacrifício dos animais e as análises microscópicas, com coloração de HE, aconteceram em no tempo de 07 e também 21 dias. Os resultados descritivos mostraram que os grupos irradiados com laser biomodularam positivamente o processo da osteogênese, pois apresentaram, aos 07 e aos 21 dias, um padrão de neoformação óssea superior. A análise estatística demonstrou um escore de neoformação óssea superior em ambos grupos de 21 dias, observando-se maiores áreas de neoformação.  A partir da metodologia empregada e com os parâmetros de radiação utilizados, além dos resultados descritivos quantitativos e histomorfométricos obtidos nesta pesquisa, pode-se concluir que: a LLLT pode ser utilizada como coadjuvante no processo de osteogênese no reparo do tecido ósseo. Entretanto, faz-se necessário a realização de ensaios clínicos que comprovem a sua aplicabilidade.
Pulmonary hair embolism in a rescued free-ranging Eurasian otter Lutra lutra in Kinmen, Taiwan
Authors: Li WT , Chiang YL , Chen TY , Lai CL
Published: September 2020

Eurasian otters Lutra lutra are listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List and are imperiled by habitat loss, water pollution, and poaching. Harassment and attacks by stray animals are also recognized threats to the health of wild Eurasian otters. Pulmonary hair embolism is a possible complication in animals with deep traumatic injury, but to date no cases have been reported in wildlife. A free-ranging, adult male Eurasian otter was rescued due to severe emaciation and multiple bite wounds. The otter died 3 d after rescue and was necropsied. Grossly, a 1.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm firm nodule was observed in the left cranial lung lobe. Histologically, a fragment of hair shaft surrounded by multinucleated foreign body giant cells was observed in a medium-sized vein, and extensive eosinophilic infiltration was noted in the adjacent vascular wall and lung parenchyma. Based on the gross and histological findings, the pulmonary lesion was consistent with eosinophilic pneumonia and vasculitis induced by hair embolism. The presence of well-formed multinucleated foreign body giant cells and eosinophils may imply a late stage of foreign body reaction, and thus the presumptive source of hair embolism is an animal bite. This is the first report of pulmonary hair embolism associated with animal bite in a rescued free-ranging Eurasian otter.
Research on early life stages of fish: a lively field
Authors: Catalán IA , Reglero P , Álvarez I
Published: September 2020

The first weeks in life are crucial for the fate of fish. During this period, fish show large dispersal rates and suffer from massive mortality due mainly to predation. Intrinsic and extrinsic processes (growth rates, advection, behavior, diseases) affect this mortality and have profound consequences on populations. For a century now, describing the distribution, physiology and dynamics of fish early life phases has been the focus of intense research, building a solid community of scientists that met at the 43rd Annual Larval Fish Conference, held in Palma, Spain, 21-24 May 2019. The present Theme Section consists of 19 papers that are a sample of the research presented at the conference. The papers are organized around 5 main topics: (1) mortality estimation and process understanding, (2) parental effects on larval fish ecology, (3) larval settlement to juvenile grounds, (4) early life stages of fish within food webs, and (5) contribution of early life stages of fish to assessment and management. Contributions to this Theme Section focus on hot topics as well as old paradigms; the latter continue to elicit much research work, which has benefited from recent advances in technology.
Conceiving Desire in Lyly and Shakespeare
Authors: Knoll Gillian
Published: September 2020

Conceiving Desire in Lyly and Shakespeare explores the role of the mind in creating erotic experience on the early modern stage. To “conceive” desire is to acknowledge the generative potential of the erotic imagination, its capacity to impart form and make meaning out of the most elusive experiences. Drawing from cognitive and philosophical approaches, this book advances a new methodology for analysing how early modern plays dramatize inward erotic experience.
Grounded in cognitive theories about the metaphorical nature of thought, Conceiving Desire in Lyly and Shakespeare traces the contours of three conceptual metaphors—motion, space, and creativity—that shape erotic desire in plays by John Lyly and William Shakespeare. Although Lyly and Shakespeare wrote for different types of theatres and only partially-overlapping audiences, both dramatists created characters who speak erotic language at considerable length and in extraordinary depth. Their metaphors do more than merely narrate or express eros; they constitute characters’ erotic experiences.
Each of the book’s three sections explores a fundamental conceptual metaphor, first its philosophical underpinnings and then its capacity for dramatizing erotic experience in Lyly’s and Shakespeare’s plays. Conceiving Desire in Lyly and Shakespeare provides a literary and linguistic analysis of metaphor that credits the role of cognition in the experience of erotic desire, even of pleasure itself.
The Erotic Potential of Idleness in Lyly’s Drama
Authors: Knoll Gillian
Published: September 2020

By consistently refusing to subordinate eros to other actions that characters might undertake in its name, John Lyly confirms that desire itself can be the main event of a play. Chapter 1 explores the role of potentiality, what Aristotle calls dunamis, as both the source of erotic change and its medium in John Lyly’s plays. The chapter begins by surveying metaphors of motion and stillness that dramatize subtle erotic changes in Lyly’s plays, and then focuses on idleness, an experience his characters conceive less as physical stasis than as movement without purpose or telos. Idleness has a peculiar, counterintuitive, feel to it in Galatea, a play that explores alternatives to the fast-paced, teleological movement typically associated with sexual pursuit. Galatea, Phillida, and the nymphs who fall in love with them discover the queer erotic potential of circuitous language that prolongs desire and defers closure.
‘A Petty World of Myself’: Intimacy and Erotic Distance in Endymion
Authors: Knoll Gillian
Published: September 2020

Chapter 3 analyses Lyly’s Endymion, whose eponymous hero forges an erotic connection with the moon across the vast expanse of the night sky. Endymion’s investment in Cynthia’s strangest and most distant incarnation grants him access to a form of intimacy that emerges from erotic distance. To theorize the attachment one can form with a majestic, vast, present-but-distant love object such as Cynthia, this chapter turns to Gaston Bachelard’s work on “intimate immensity,” a special mode of daydreaming in which the dreamer forms a powerful bond with an immense, mysterious, often cosmic, object of contemplation. Although such a relation requires a vast distance between the dreamer and the immense phenomenon he contemplates, Endymion’s metaphors of permeability activate a shared, mutual, and profoundly intimate erotic relation with Cynthia.
‘Love’s Use’ in Campaspe
Authors: Knoll Gillian
Published: September 2020

Lyly’s Campaspe explores the roles of creative instruments—easel and canvas, pigments and words—in the erotic relationship between the painter Apelles and his model Campaspe. Like any object placed between two bodies in some kind of dynamic relation, these erotic instruments invariably generate friction and heat between Lyly’s lovers. Chapter 5 traces the medium and metaphor of painting, which shapes Apelles and Campaspe’s interactions according to particular artistic features. This chapter considers the erotic qualities of Campaspe’s portrait via classical and early modern psychological accounts of the “phantasm,” a pneumatic image of a beloved that can take on a life of its own. Lyly’s euphuistic language is an erotic instrument in its own right. Providing the lovers with more than a vocabulary, it affords them a structure, a conceptual system, which gives their experience of erotic desire its shape, its medium, and its meaning.
In Love
Authors: Knoll Gillian
Published: September 2020

Part II focuses on spatial metaphors of permeability and containment that dramatize erotic desire as a rupture between self and world. Such metaphors raise the stakes of erotic desire when intimacy requires characters to make themselves vulnerable. They compromise their personal and bodily boundaries but they also gain access to new forms of intimacy. This section of the book begins by exploring different philosophies of place, from thinkers such as Kenneth Burke to Luce Irigaray and Edward Casey, which illuminate the dynamics of desire in Lyly and Shakespeare. The introductory pages focus on the container schema, a basic cognitive structure that allows us to conceptualize bounded regions in space by imagining an inside, outside, and boundary. To illustrate the role of the container schema in erotic experience, these pages analyze Valentine’s speeches about Silvia in The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Although the famous questions in the play are “Who is Silvia? What is she?,” Valentine himself turns out to be preoccupied with the question, where is Silvia?
Sculpture and Affect in Cinema’s Expanded Field: From Aleksey Gherman’s Hard to Be a God to Aleksey Gherman Jr’s Under Electric Clouds
Authors: Pethő Ágnes
Published: September 2020

The chapter unravels the intermedial and interart admixture of sculpture and cinema in the posthumously released magnum opus of Aleksey Gherman, and the subsequent work of his son, Aleksey Gherman Jr. The films of the two Ghermans share the ambition to expand the cinematic experience towards the plastic arts, revealing two distinct ways in which an ‘intermedial sensibility’ may emerge in contemporary cinema. Hard to be a God (Trudno byt bogom, 2013) provides unique insights into the performative value and the phenomenology of what we can conceive as the cine-sculptural. Under Electric Clouds (Pod elektricheskimi oblakami, 2015), on the other hand, foregrounds sculptures in film more literally within the context of contemporary culture and the productive overlaps between the domains of cinema and installation art. The essay also examines how these connect to specific Russian traditions and how the sculptural images and images of sculptures activate different relations to language.
The Real and the Intermedial in Alexander Sokurov’s Family Trilogy
Authors: Bugaj Malgorzata
Published: September 2020

This chapter examines how Alexander Sokurov's Mother and Son (Mat i syn, 1997), Father and Son (Otsets i syn, 2003) and Alexandra (2007) situate themselves at the intersection of the immediate and the constructed cinematic experience. The films under discussion emphasise the trace of physical presence on screen through haptic images conveying the multisensory dimension of the human experience, in particular touch and smell. Simultaneously, the Russian family trilogy consciously underscores the awareness of film as a medium carrying the story along with the mediation and remediation of painterly and medical images. Each section of the chapter focuses on a discrete part of the trilogy and investigates the oscillation between the material and artificial that is characteristic of these works.
Dialectics of Improvement
Authors: McKeever Gerard Lee
Published: September 2020

This book develops new insight into the idea of progress as improvement as the basis for an approach to literary Romanticism in the Scottish context. With chapter case studies covering poetry, short fiction, drama and the novel, it examines a range of key writers: Robert Burns, James Hogg, Walter Scott, Joanna Baillie and John Galt. Improvement, it shows, was not a unified ideal in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Scotland but rather a contested body of different ideas, some of which were mutually contradictory. The book untangles the complexity of this term that was applied variously to field drainage, elocution lessons, a taste for landscape scenery and the macrohistory of Western civilisation. As it explores, improvement provided a dominant theme for literary texts in this period, just as it saturated the wider culture. It was also of real consequence to questions about what literature is and what it can do: a medium of secular belonging, a vehicle of indefinite exchange, an educational tool or a theoretical guide to history. The book makes a significant contribution to debates around the relationship between Enlightenment and Romanticism, stressing a series of aesthetic innovations across the turn of the nineteenth century in a culture that was saturated by the dialectical workings of improvement.
Religion and the World in Historical Perspective
Authors: al-Azmeh Aziz
Published: September 2020

This chapter problematises common assumptions about East/West and Islam/West divisions relating to religion, society and the state. It examines the concrete positions and functions of religion and religious institutions in public life in the historical practices and political thinking of Byzantine, medieval and early modern European, Abbasid and Ottoman societies. It devotes a special study to the historical realities of Muslim jurisprudence. This chapter proposes to treat secularism as a complex and objective political, social and cultural dynamic allied to global processes of modernisation, rather than a checklist of stable features which can be judged exist or to be absent in any given society. It proposes that the common idea that some societies are by nature receptive to secularism while others are not, is irrelevant to the issues that arise in concrete studies of secularism, and that secularism is never complete or unalloyed.
How an ‘Italian’ Suffix Became Productive in Germanic Languages
Authors: Hamans Camiel
Published: September 2020

In modern West-Germanic and Scandinavian languages one comes across words such as German Nudo(‘nudist’), Swedish fyllo (‘alcoholic’) and Dutch lullo (‘asshole’). All these words are recently coined under the influence of American English words such as psycho, from psychopath, lesbo, from lesbian, and kiddo from kid. This chapter describes how this new pattern of shortened and monosyllabic -o words has spread across the word and how it was able to compete with other shortened, ‘clipped’ words such as English sex from sexual
activity, plane from aeroplane, flu from influenza and clipped and monosyllabic forms with a suffix -y/-ie, so called hypocoristics, such as telly from television
set, Andy from Andrew and hottie from hot. It also explains how this new Italian-style American English suffix managed to put aside its own Swedish, German and Dutch patterns and how this new -opattern was borrowed and became productive via a process of reinterpretation in these languages.
Interaction among Borrowing, Inflection and Word Formation in Polish Medieval Latin
Authors: Rzepiela Michał
Published: September 2020

The present study discusses classes of words attested in Polish Medieval Latin which might be interpreted both as borrowings (or loan translations) from Old Polish and as products of regular Latin word formation. Starting from the general structural similarity between Polish and Latin as inflectional languages as well as from their phonetic similarity, it emphasizes the role of inflection in lexical transfers from Polish into Latin. The interaction between borrowing and word formation is, in turn, addressed in terms of parallel semantic niches occurring in Old Polish and Polish Medieval Latin. The analysis consists in verifying whether the niches encountered in Polish Medieval Latin are organized according to a lexico-semantic pattern attested in Latin of any period in its history. In addition, by making recourse to Štekauer’s onomasiological theory, the possible interaction between competition and collaboration, as manifested in new coinages in Polish Medieval Latin, is examined.

Published: September 2020

The chapter focuses on the beginning of Deleuze’s career, charting his confrontation with Simondon, from whose work he takes the notion of crystal individuation. It then turns to Deleuze’s early reading of Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura. Stressing in particular Lucretius’ notion of the ‘light of Venus’, the chapter reads Deleuze’s luminous ontology against Thomas Nail’s argument that Lucretius’ work proposes a fluid and processual ontology. The chapter concludes that the ideas Deleuze distils from Lucretius concern a love of the multiplicity of the world and of life, and that Deleuzian philosophy is a response to the question of where Lucretius’ love of life and of a given multiplicity takes philosophy. Nowhere in Deleuze’s work is the positivity and affirmation that he finds in Lucretius put into question. All horrors are immanent to this more profound love of a multiplicitous life and light, which Deleuze also finds in Nietzsche and Bergson.
Philosophical Times and Spaces
Authors: Berressem Hanjo
Published: September 2020

In luminist and cinematic registers, the chapter first explicates Deleuze’s complementary chronologics of Aion and Chronos. While durational Aion is the time of luminist glow, flickering Chronos is the time of strobe light: wave and particle. Shifting from time to space, the chapter then addresses Deleuze’s topologics. After introducing the notion of fractal space in terms of Deleuze’s notion of becoming-imperceptible, it delineates, via Leibniz’ images of the baroque house and the camera obscura, Deleuze’s transformation of the spatial dualism of light surface and dark depth into the luminous space of a fractal chiaroscuro, and it shows how Deleuze’s luminous philosophy resonates with Leibniz’ proposition that monads, as points or centres of light, have a luminous nature. After explicating the mathematical concept of the ‘real projective plane,’ the chapter argues that Deleuze’s shift from a Cartesian to a projective topology of thought is fundamental for an understanding of his philosophy.
Introduction: Guattari and Ecology
Authors: Berressem Hanjo
Published: September 2020

The chapter argues that of the many Guattaris – the psychoanalyst, the philosopher, the scholar of the arts, the cultural critic, and the activist – the most lasting one will be the ecologist, and it places Guattari’s Schizoanalytic Cartographies at the conceptual centre of a schizoecological tryptich that consists of Schizoanalytic Cartographies, The Three Ecologies and Chaosmosis. It then traces some conceptual origins of and inspirations for what Guattari, borrowing a term from deep ecologist Arne Naess, calls his ecosophy. Other such borrowings come from the works of James E. Lovelock, Ilja Prigogine and Isabel Stengers, Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, Lucretius, Michel Serres and Gregory Bateson. By way of Guattari’s notion of the machinic, it then positions Guattari’s work in relation to various forms of constructivism. After delineating his own version of a schizoecologic and machinic constructivism, it shows how this schizoecology informs the schizoanalytic practices at La Borde clinic.
Ecogenesis
Authors: Berressem Hanjo
Published: September 2020

Drawing on Erwin Schrödingers concept of a-periodic crystals, the chapter considers crystals and crystallization as the ontological basis of Guattari’s schizoecology. After delineating Guattari’s ecologization of Saussurian semiotics, it traces Guattari and Deleuze’s discussion of Lucretius’ clinamen in A Thousand Plateaus. Drawing on Serres’ reading of the clinamen as the moment of the birth of the world, and on his reading of the clinamen in terms of semiotics, it shows how, by way of the joy of multiplicity and of an immanent physics, Lucretius’ muse Venus Anadyome becomes the conceptual figure of Guattari’s schizoecology. Drawing on the definition of consistency as an invariance within a process, the chapter then reads Thomas Nail notion of Lucretius’ fluid ontology in the light of Guattari’s differentiation between flow and aerosol; a differentiation that allows to conceptualize the birth of schizoecology in analogy to the birth of Venus from the spray of the ocean.
Schizoecologic Cartographies
Authors: Berressem Hanjo
Published: September 2020

The chapter first defines the status of the diagram that underlies Schizoanalytic Cartographies as a formal diagram of an informal world. As such, it is itself a figure of the various complementarities that are defined within it. Using foldings of the diagram to organize the text, the chapter subsequently provides an in-depth analysis of the relations between and the superpositions of its four functors: Flows, Phyla, Territories and Universes. Next, it presents the diagram’s inherently ecological parameters. By way of tracing the vectors between its various positions, it defines the diagram as a meta-model of the expressive relation between the world and its creatures. After showing Guattari’s recalibration of the distinction between smooth and striated space, it exemplifies the notion of an expressive ecology in four sections that perform the squaring of concepts (chlorophyll), of the unconscious (Lacan), of aesthetics (Balthus) and of media studies (the analog and digital divide).
European Integration
Authors: Arnason Johann P.
Published: September 2020

Different understandings of European integration, its background and present problems are represented in this book, but they share an emphasis on historical processes, geopolitical dynamics and regional diversity. The introduction surveys approaches to the question of European continuities and discontinuities, before going on to an overview of chapters. The following three contributions deal with long-term perspectives, including the question of Europe as a civilisational entity, the civilisational crisis of the twentieth century, marked by wars and totalitarian regimes, and a comparison of the European Union with the Habsburg Empire, with particular emphasis on similar crisis symptoms. The next three chapters discuss various aspects and contexts of the present crisis. Reflections on the Brexit controversy throw light on a longer history of intra-Union rivalry, enduring disputes and changing external conditions. An analysis of efforts to strengthen the EU’s legal and constitutional framework, and of resistances to them, highlights the unfinished agenda of integration. A closer look at the much-disputed Islamic presence in Europe suggests that an interdependent radicalization of Islamism and the European extreme right is a major factor in current political developments. Three concluding chapters adopt specific regional perspectives. Central and Eastern European countries, especially Poland, are following a path that leads to conflicts with dominant orientations of the EU, but this also raises questions about Europe’s future. The record of Scandinavian policies in relation to Europe exemplifies more general problems faced by peripheral regions. Finally, growing dissonances and divergences within the EU may strengthen the case for Eurasian perspectives.
Introduction
Authors: McCarthy Conor
Published: September 2020

While exclusion from law is often assumed to be an historical phenomenon, the discussion here argues that it is an enduring and important tactic of state power. Such exclusion can occur in two directions – exclusion above the law (as where the state licenses itself or its agents to act with impunity) or exclusion below the law (as where the state excludes an individual or group from the law's protection). This book concerns itself with both, and in doing so, offers readings from two bodies of literature in English not normally read in tandem – the literature of outlawry, and the literature of espionage. This Introduction briefly surveys some influential previous work in this area – in particular Eric Hobsbawm’s notion of the ‘social bandit’ and Giorgio Agamben’s idea of the homo sacer and his related study of the ‘state of exception’ – and sets out the argument to follow.
Outside the Law in the Middle Ages
Authors: McCarthy Conor
Published: September 2020

This chapter begins by looking at what outlawry means in a legal sense in medieval England, drawing comparisons between the characterisation of the outlaw as an excluded figure and Agamben's portrayal of the homo sacer. The representation of the outlaw in the literature of the period, however, gives us a very different picture, akin to Hobsbawm's 'social bandit.' Different again from these representations in both legal and literary texts are the actions of the real outlaw gangs of medieval England, whose behaviour is perhaps more complex than either Agamben or Hobsbawm's archetypal constructions may allow for. Following this discussion of the outlaw in legal, literary, and historical texts, this chapter proceeds to highlight three phenomena. Firstly, it notes the extent of additional forms of exclusion from law within the 'palimpsest of jurisdictions' found in later medieval England. Secondly, it discusses outlawry and its literature as a location where tensions around sovereign authority may be examined. Finally, it considers the use of exclusion from or inclusion within English law as a tactic linked to territorial expansion in later medieval Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and the application of outlawry to the English state’s archipelagic opponents, such as Robert Bruce and William Wallace.
Worldlessness After Heidegger
Authors: Végsö Roland
Published: September 2020

The book opens up a new debate in favour of abandoning the very idea of the world in both philosophy and politics. Beginning with a reconsideration of the Heideggerian critique of worldlessness, it traces the overlooked history of this concept in the works of Hannah Arendt, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida and Alain Badiou. This critical genealogy shows that the post-Heideggerian critique of the phenomenological tradition remained limited by its enduring investment in the category of the ‘world’. As a way out of this historical predicament, the book encourages us to create affirmative definitions of worldlessness.
Sunnī Rulers and their Cadis
Authors: Lev Yaacov
Published: September 2020

The chapter examines the history of the cadi institution in Egypt between 868 and 969. During that period, the cadis came to the forefront of political life under the Tulunids (868-905) and the Ikhshidids (935-969). The chapter also follows the spread of the cadi institution to Egypt’s provincial towns and the cadis’ involvement in the application of the law.

Whitehead’s Early Harvard Period, Hartshorne and the Transcendental Project
Authors: Shields George W.
Published: September 2020

In this chapter, George Shields compares Whitehead’s Harvard lectures to the philosophy of Charles Hartshorne, arguing that the two are united in defending the possibility of a ‘transcendental project’ and an ‘ontological approach’. The chapter argues that for both philosophers, ‘something exists’ is a necessary postulate, ontology precedes epistemology, that their critiques of Kant’s noumena are sound and their return to pre-Kantian modes of thought is justified, and that formal logic and mathematical analysis are wholly necessary in philosophy.
