Holistic Equivalent Circuit Model for Capacitive Extracellular Stimulation
Authors: Polz Mathias , Rath Thomas , Trimmel Gregor , Stoppacher Sara , Nowakowska Marta , Kornmüller Karin , Shestha Niroj , Baumgartner Christian , Rienmüller Theresa
Published: September 2022

Capacitive extracellular stimulation is a common method in implanted stimulation electrodes. The basis for investigating the transmission of stimuli from an electrode to adhered cells are in vitro experiments using calcium imaging or patch clamp measurements. Computational spatial models are used to simulate the mechanism of signal transmission at the cell-electrode interface but require high computing power. In this work, the Stern model to characterize the electrochemical double-layer (EDL) formation and a modified two-domain model are combined into a holistic equivalent circuit modelling capacitive cell stimulation. The described parameters can be directly associated with physicochemical effects. A simulation of the involved control and measurement systems allows the validation of the model with in vitro patch clamp recordings. The relationship of the cell’s distance to the electrode and efficacy of signal transmission could be observed. With this concept we aim to convert different complex approaches into a simple model and thus give an overview of the mechanisms of stimulation. We want to facilitate the interpretation of measured signals especially in voltage clamp measurements.
“Confucian Revival” From Both Chinese and Western, Ancient and Modern Perspectives: Observations and Reflections on Post-Millennium Research Into Confucianism
Authors: Li Mei
Published: September 2022

Confucianism in the new millennium has enjoyed a revival, a resurrection even, like a “wandering soul.” Due to this resurgence, whether it is regarded as an object of study, or as part of modern academic research, Confucianism can no longer be seen as an amalgamated entity, as it was in the last century. In contrast, since 2000, research into Confucian thought has changed not just from both Chinese and Western viewpoints, but from ancient and modern perspectives too. In the last century while China responded to the urgent need to modernize, Confucianism, as a system of ideas and concepts that had been part of classical Chinese society, tended to be examined against these historical changes. In so doing, its “resistance” to modernization was emphasized. Post-2000 however, more mainstream scholars have begun to highlight Confucianism as a reflection of the differences between China and the West. The fundamental reasons for the divisions in research today come from researchers in the West and China placing different degrees of importance on different aspects of the philosophy. Moreover, each group’s understanding and interpretation of China’s ancient and modern society differ.
Endurance and Time Travel
Authors: Benovsky Jiri
Published: September 2022

Suppose that you travel back in time to talk to your younger self in order to tell her that she (you) should have done some things in her (your) life differently. Of course, you will not be able to

make this plan work, we know that from the many versions of `the grandfather paradox' that populate the philosophical literature about time travel. What will be my centre of interest in this paper is the conversation between you and . . . you - i.e. the older you that travelled back in time and the younger you, when you

first meet. As we shall see, given this situation, endurantists will have to endorse a strange consequence of their view: you will turn out to be a universal while your properties will turn out to be particulars.
On Storms in Teacups: Limitations of 3D-4D-Equivalence
Authors: Jaskolla Ludwig J.
Published: September 2022

Sometimes the thesis has been put forth that the languages of 3- Dimensionalism and 4-Dimensionalism are completey translatable into each other without any loss of meaning. Prominently, this

thesis has recently been defended by Jonathan Lowe and Storrs McCall. A global inter-translatability would show that there is no deeper systematic or even ontological difference between these philosophical positions despite that both are using a different vocabulary to describe the same features of reality.

In this paper, I want to argue that the thesis of 3D-4D-Equivalence covers some interesting aspects of the discussion between 3-Dimensionalists and 4-Dimensionalists, but is not able to grasp fully the

ontological intuitions of both positions. At the end of the day, it seems necessary to refute the thesis that 3-Dimensionalism and 4-Dimensionalism are eqivalent in the sense that both are completely translatable into each other.
Still My Guitar Gently Weeps. Questions for an Ockhamized Metaphysics of the Event Sources of Sound
Authors: Gasparri Luca
Published: September 2022

Casati, Di Bona and Dokic have recently argued that sounds are identical to their event sources. In this paper, I review the arguments they have offered in support of this view, show that their claims fail to defend it in a completely persuasive and conclusive fashion, and present some new questions for their thesis
In Search of the Holy Grail of Epistemology
Authors: Zięba Paweł J.
Published: September 2022

Pritchard calls his epistemological disjunctivism ‘the holy grail of epistemology’. What this metaphor means is that the acceptance of this thesis puts the internalism-externalism debate to an end, thanks to satisfaction of intuitions standing behind both competing views. Simultaneously, Pritchard strongly emphasizes that the endorsement of epistemological disjunctivism does not commit one to metaphysical disjunctivism. In this paper I analyze the formulations and motivations of epistemological disjunctivism presented by Pritchard and McDowell. Then I consider the most common argument for the claim that epistemological disjunctivism can be held without the support of metaphysical disjunctivism. I conclude that the plausibility of epistemological disjunctivism depends on the plausibility of metaphysical disjunctivism. If the latter is false, the former postulates a set of conditions for epistemic justification that are impossible to be fulfilled.
‘Philosophie’ grammatisch betrachtet. Wittgensteins Begriff der Therapie
Authors: Tarras Peter
Published: September 2022

Expressions belonging to the lexical fields of medicine and psychology recur repeatedly throughout Ludwig Wittgenstein’s writings since the 1930s. He uses therapeutic vocabulary mostly in the context of metaphilosophical reflections, i.e. reflections about the activity of philosophizing. But how are we to understand such expressions? Even though some interpreters admit their metaphorical nature, the methodological background of using figurative language has hitherto been neglected concerning this matter. Here, I argue that Wittgensteinian therapy is what G. Lakoff and M. Johnson have termed a “structural metaphor”. Thus we do not only obtain a better understanding of Wittgenstein’s metaphilosophy, but also of the role metaphor use plays within his methodology. I shall try to show that he uses therapeutic metaphors (akin to pictorial elements) as argumentative and epistemological devices and thereby investigates the philosophically problematic expression ‘philosophy’ grammatically
Republican International Relations
Authors: Wood Nathan
Published: September 2022

Contemporary proponents of republican political theory often focus on the concept of freedom as non-domination, and how best to promote it within a state. However, there is little attention paid to what the republican conception of freedom demands in the international realm. In this essay I examine what is required for an agent to enjoy freedom as non-domination, and argue that this might only be achieved for individuals if one of two possibilities is pursued internationally: either (1) all nations are made equally powerful, such that none may arbitrarily impose its will on another without penalty, or (2) all nations are joined under a global sovereign which guarantees that the weaker states are not subject to the whims of the stronger. I further argue that the first condition cannot suffice for achieving true non-domination, and as a result, republicanism must prescribe working toward the establishment of a global state. This paper provides an important contribution to the literature by addressing the international implications of the republican conception of freedom.
Time Order, Time Direction, and the Presentist's View on Spacetime
Authors: Friebe Cord
Published: September 2022

The physical possibility of spacetimes containing closed timelike curves (CTCs) challenges the philosophy of time in the way that temporal ordering is, at best, remarkably non-standard: events on CTCs precede themselves. Apparently, such universes do not possess a consistent time order but only a consistent time direction. Thus, temporal directionality seems to be more fundamental than ordering in earlier-later or past-present-future. I will argue that this favors presentism as the adequate ontology of spacetimes: only presentism consistently copes with the idea that temporal ordering depends on empirical constraints. The presentist Now is fundamentally undivided and productively directed towards existence. Time order arises by extending the Now, which can fail and in fact fails in universes containing CTCs.
Moral and Non-moral Testimony { Revisiting an Alleged Asymmetry
Authors: Kiener Maximilian
Published: September 2022

In this essay, I oppose the 'Asymmetry Thesis' according to which moral matters are simply different in kind from non-moral matters when it comes to testimony because moral matters require understanding in a way in which non-moral matters do not. I argue that the requirement of understanding is not unique to morality and also deny that there is a genuine requirement of understanding after all. Instead, cases of moral and non-moral testimony are often troubling for the same reason, namely the violation of the requirement of using one's own cognitive faculties when it is both possible and feasible. I will argue for this account in two stages: Firstly, I will present particular examples of testimony which aim to render this proposal initially plausible via inductive reasoning. Secondly, I will present a transcendental argument from the social function of testimony and explain why such a requirement in fact holds
A Plea for Rhees' Reading of Wittgenstein's On Certainty: is grammar conditioned by certain facts?
Authors: Mota Sergio
Published: September 2022

This paper is more than a plea for Rhees' reading of the work of Wittgenstein (particularly of On Certainty). My interest in Rhees' interpretation lies on its resemblance with my own reading, on the one hand, and on its being (surprisingly) unmentioned by other interpreters, on the other. The two core aims of this paper focus on Rhees' main ideas. First, I argue that although certain facts that are accepted beyond doubt belong to the method, which in turn is included in grammar, this does not mean that these facts are expressions of rules of grammar. Second, I argue that grammar is not conditioned by a certain class of facts (i.e. general facts of nature), but a language-game is possible because we do not call in question certain facts (i.e. grammar is not conditioned by something like ontology). The point is that those facts that are not called in question are beyond truth and falsity, but this does not mean that these facts must be true. The logical role these facts (and the sentences used to express them) play in a language-game is not that of being true or false. Moreover, grammar itself constitutes what is meant by `object', `fact', or `general fact of nature'.
Normativity in Lewis' and Bicchieri's Accounts of Conventions and Norms
Authors: Valković Martina
Published: September 2022

Lewis [3] argues that, generally, we ought to conform to conventions because that answers (1) our own preferences, and (2) the preferences of others. While (1) is based on instrumental rationality, (2) is based on a moral principle or norm: other things being equal, we should do what answers others' preferences. Bicchieri [1] claims there is a third kind of normativity, neither rational nor moral, that applies to social norms. I argue that conventions draw their normativity from instrumental rationality and other independent moral principles or norms, and that it is unclear what further normativity could there be.
Three Errors in the Substance View's Defense
Authors: Lovering Rob
Published: September 2022

According to the theory of intrinsic value and moral standing known as the \substance view," all human beings have intrinsic value, full moral standing and, with these, a right to life. The substance view has been defended by numerous contemporary philosophers who use the theory to argue that the standard human fetus has a right to life and, ultimately, that abortion is prima facie seriously wrong. In this paper, I identify three important errors committed by some of these philosophers in their defense of the theory|what I refer to as the \extratheoretical-proposition error," \quantitative-differences error," and \non-normative-answer error"|and conclude that these errors render their defense inadequate.
Warum intellektuelle Toleranz nicht irrational ist
Authors: Balg Dominik
Published: September 2022

When it comes to disagreements about religious, moral or political questions, many people consider a tolerant `live-and-let-live' attitude to be the best reaction toward conflicting opinions. However, many epistemologists are rather skeptical about the epistemic acceptability of such a tolerant attitude. More specifically, the worry is that a tolerant reaction toward recognized disagreement is necessarily epistemically irrational. After setting out this worry in a little more detail, I will present and discuss three different arguments for the epistemic irrationality of a tolerant attitude toward disagreement. I will argue that while all these arguments ultimately fail, they still reveal some substantial limitations to the epistemic adequacy of intellectual tolerance.
Much Ado about Nothingness?
Authors: Moghri Mohsen
Published: September 2022

Among fundamental metaphysical quests, one might wonder: Why is there anything at all rather than just nothing? Many reject that question because they think it is meaningless, trivial, or necessarily unanswerable. But I provide reasons for thinking that the Why question could make sense and one might even expect an answer to it. I begin by asking why the world is not empty of all concrete things. One might regard this question as important if one accepts that it is, in some sense, possible for all concrete things to vanish, one-by-one. I argue finally that possible replies to the Why question concerning concrete things might point to realities that are abstract instead of concrete. Abstract realities might be explanatorily powerful without their power being guaranteed by Logic.
The Anti-Realist Explanation for Science's Success: Semantics, Method and Attitude
Authors: Silva Bruno Malavolta e
Published: September 2022

Antirealist explanations for the success of science have been widely discussed up to today and have received several formulations. This makes it rather complex to assess them all. The objective of this paper is to help understand and assess the proposal of an anti-realist explanation for science's success. I show the core assumptions contained in the several anti- realist explanations, how they relate to each other, and which background assumptions are required in order to warrant each position. I argue that, since the many anti-realist explanations are only plausible when maintained conjointly, there is essentially only one anti-realist account to science's success: scientists find successful (and even fertile) theories because they use methods of theory-selection and theory-construction that preserve only successful theories; the fact that these theories prove themselves successful will not be mysterious if it is conjointly assumed that false theories are often empirically successful. This explanation relies on a semantic and a methodological view concerning the probabilistic relation between success and truth, and also on an epistemic stance regarding the limits of explanatory reasoning. The crucial divergence between realist and antirealist accounts of science's success lies in how probable they assess the possibility of a theory to be false and empirically successful. Since the stale-mate between realist and antirealist explanations results from a prior disagreement about the probabilistic connection between success and truth (or the underdetermination thesis), the challenge raised by the antirealist explanation to realism becomes equivalent to the traditional charge that the no-miracles argument is circular.
Synchronized acoustic and atmospheric measurement system for characterization of atmospheric sound propagation
Authors: Ryan Teresa , Vecchiotti Andrea , Foeller Jeffry , Cobb Faith , Vignola Joseph , Turo Diego
Published: September 2022

The aim of the paper is to describe a portable, modular, and scaleable system for measuring concurrent acoustic transmission loss and atmospheric characteristics. This system has been developed specifically to inform an effort to improve the ability to implement high fidelity numerical predictions of acoustic transmission loss, particularly in acoustically complex outdoor ranges, such as those that occur in coastal areas. Such a system has broad possible applicability in many outdoor atmospheric acoustic monitoring scenarios.

»You are gods«. Intertextuality among Ps 82:6, 11QMelch, and John 10:34. Approximation from Sociological Stylistics
Authors: Pérez-Gondar Diego
Published: September 2022

Mikhail Bakhtin offers us a typology to understand better how biblical intertextuality works. Phenomena such as stylization, parodic use of another’s speech, or hidden polemic can help perceive how the relationship among texts results from a previous social debate. We focus on studying hybrid constructions in which authors develop an intentional use of another’s speech. This work analyzes the dependencies among Psalm 82 (especially the expression »You are gods« in v. 6) and texts which referenced that Psalm in concrete historical and theological milieus.
Has Psychoanalysis Reached Its Limits in the Question of the Trans Child and Adolescent?
Authors: Gozlan Oren
Published: September 2022

New medical advances and options for transitioning along with an array of gender representations have provided gender diverse children and adolescents liberating possibilities. The transitioning youth's demands for recognition and/or support for initiation of medical intervention pushes against the analyst's theories of gender and challenges conservative understanding of sexual identity, moving it closer to the multidetermined nature of dreamwork. In this article, the author traces recurrent metaphors in discussions about gender transitioning with a focus on selected articles recently published in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, particularly an essay authored by David Bell (2020) entitled “First Do No Harm.” The author focuses on three images—contagion, the naturality of gender, and amputation—to ask, what do these apparently disparate signifiers reveal about the anxieties in the field?
Survival Strategy of Rice Farmers in Planting Paddy in Dry Season
Authors: Arsal Thriwaty , Yunus Mahmud , Handoyo Eko , Ahmad Sakaria
Published: September 2022

The development of agricultural tools and technology has made a change to cropping patterns in agricultural communities in Donoyudan Village. Farmers begin to plant rice in the dry season with the help of water wells as the main source of irrigation. Farmers choose to plant rice in the dry season because the results are better than the rainy season. The purpose of the research is to determine the survival strategies of paddy farmers in choosing plant species on agricultural land in the dry season. The research method uses qualitative methods, namely observation, triangulation, and in-depth interviews with farmers and farmer groups. The research is conducted in Donoyudan Village, Kalijambe District, Sragen Regency. The results show that the survival strategy of paddy farmers and rice farming activities in the dry season is the availability of water wells and water pumping machines as the main sources of irrigation in the dry season. Water wells are used if there is not enough rainwater to irrigate the fields. There are two types of water wells, which are shallow well and deep well.
“Bisa Bawa Pacar Engga?” Sociological Analysis of Rules-Free and Strict-Rules Boarding Houses in Gorontalo
Authors: Wiroto Dondick Wicaksono , Ibrahim Ridwan , Rahmatiah Rahmatiah , Setiawan Aris
Published: September 2022

This research was based on the phenomenon of free sex behavior by students in their boarding houses, hence the existence of the term 'rules-free' and 'strict-rules' boarding houses. This phenomenon was interesting to study using the concept of behavior so that it can be understood sociologically how the two concepts of the boarding house are related. Grounded theory was used in this research in the hope that the construction of social control in the boarding house arises from the expressions and beliefs, experiences, feelings, and goals of the owner and the occupants. The results showed that students' deviant behavior in the form of free sex was caused by four factors, namely the absence of enforcement of the rules in the boarding house by the owner, students' weak self-control, the arrangement of boarding houses was hidden from society, and negative labeling formed by a stigma. This research concluded that self-control in a boarding house is not formed by awareness to uphold social norms, but is more prompted by one's desire to avoid being embarrassed.
Islam, Religious Confrontation and Hoaxes in the Digital Public Sphere: Comparison of Bangladesh and Indonesia
Authors: Al-Zaman Md. Sayeed , Alimi Moh Yasir
Published: September 2022

Religion has a considerable contribution to the creation of present Bangladesh and Indonesia. Historically, religious communalism is common in these two regions and its presence is visible to date. Like other countries, both countries are moving more toward digitalization with a good number of digital migrants, making the internet a digital public sphere. Like offline society, online is now becoming a place of religious dakwah and contentions as well. Digital space offers both opportunities and challenges for the democratic religious public sphere. This article discusses the similarity and differences of online religious public spheres between Indonesia and Bangladesh. The research was conducted in 2021 observing social media particularly Facebook. This research finds that the online religious public sphere witnesses online piety, religious deliberation, the spread of religious hoaxes, and Islamism. While in Bangladesh, online disinformation leads to religious communalism and offline violence against religious minorities, in Indonesia, the digital public sphere is largely dominated by religious discourses argumentation among Muslims and the rise of post-Islamism. The online public sphere of both countries similarly witnesses the rise of hoaxes, post-truth, and banal religion.
O Principezinho en clave pop-up
Authors: Fernández-Vázquez Mar
Published: September 2022

Este trabajo pretende resaltar la técnica pop-up empleada por los ingenieros del papel como una vía a tener en cuenta a la hora de potenciar el contenido textual e icónico de obras clásicas como Le Petit Prince, de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry en base a la materialidad del libro. En un primer momento, se enumeran y se describen los elementos del pop-up empleados en la edición de O Principezinho. O Grande livro Pop-up. Texto integral por la lisboeta Editorial Presença a partir de las claves ofrecidas por David A. Carter y James Díaz en 1999 y a los ejemplos insertados por David Carter en sus propias obras 600 puntos negros y Ruido Blanco. Después de especificar que los libros objeto-artefacto resultan más adecuados para un lectorado competente, participativo y cómplice que sea capaz de desgranar el juego textual y visual ofrecido por Saint-Exupéry desde la edición original, y de captar la nueva lectura visual en pop-up, se destaca la propuesta de (re)lectura didáctica de O Principezinho, una vez que se ha interpretado el significado que la ingeniería del papel ha aportado a esta narración clásica.

Published: September 2022

There is an increased research interest in methods for transparent wood production and its use. Wood transparency could be achieved by its delignification followed by an impregnation process with polymers having proper optical properties. However, delignification processes are mainly time consuming and not environmentally friendly. The possibility of treating mahogany wood (Swietenia macrophylla King) with 20% hydrogen peroxide for 70, 100, 135, and 170 min at 103 °C is presented in this research. According to the treatment duration, lignin content decreased 40 to 94% relative to its initial content in the control samples, whilst the cell structure remained intact. Due to the light scatter effect, caused mainly by wood tissue structure, the direct optical transmittance of treated samples in the visible light spectrum (400 to 800 nm) was less than 40%. Simultaneously, the total optical transmittance of samples treated for 100 and 135 min reached values between 70 to 80% with high values of the haze at approximately 30 and 60%. Optical transmittance in the visible spectrum area of the samples treated for 170 min was from 45 to 80% and the haze from 25 to 45%.

Published: September 2022

Background

Ayahuasca's psychological and subjective effects were compared in rituals of two neoshamanic groups in Uruguay.

Aims

Compare, describe and analyze psychological effects and subjective experiences of ayahuasca ceremonies in two different groups: a psychospiritual holistic center, and a center specialized in substance use disorder's treatment.

Methods

A mixed qualitative-quantitative study was conducted, using the Hallucinogen Rating Scale for measuring psychological effects, and in-depth interviews for the description of ayahuasca subjective experiences. Data from both techniques were compared, analyzing convergences and differences.

Results

When comparing the two neoshamanic groups, significant differences with a medium-size effect were found in the psychological variables Affect (r = 0.47), Cognition (r = 0.36) and Perception (r = 0.36). The qualitative descriptions of ayahuasca experiences in the group with higher scores in those variables showed more frequent and complex experiences of emotional, cognitive, and perceptive content. Dissimilar results were found when comparing Intensity and Somaesthetic domains, with no significant results in the quantitative part, while in the qualitative part intensity was reported as “soft” in one group, and corporal experiences (e.g., purging effects) were especially manifested.

Conclusions

Stronger subjective experiences and higher psychological effects may be related to differences in the dosage and the setting of the centers. Emotional, cognitive, and perceptive psychological effects of ayahuasca rituals measured by the Hallucinogen Rating Scale, seem to be associated with more frequent and complex subjective experiences in the mentioned domains. Qualitative group differences in corporal alterations and the overall intensity of the experience differed from non-significant results of the quantitative part of the study.

Elimination of Violence Against Children During the Covid-19 Pandemic based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC 1989)

Violence against children is included in the highest cases of human rights violations during the Covid-19 pandemic. It will affect and has affected the lives of children throughout the world, especially in Indonesia. Children are a vulnerable group who need special protection during this pandemic because, during the pandemic, cases of violence against children are now shifting from the home. Indonesia has ratified the United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child (UNCRC 1989) through Presidential Decree Number 36 of 1990, in which the formation of national legislation, Indonesia must use the same principles based on the convention. The actualization of national law has been repeatedly launched to eliminate violence against children in Indonesia. The problem formulation of this research is how to eliminate violence against children in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic based on the United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child (UNCRC 1989). The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of the state's responsibility in realizing the elimination of violence against children during the Covid-19 pandemic based on the 1989 UNCRC. This research is an empirical descriptive study. The study results show that the 1989 UNCRC has been implemented into Law Number 35 of 2014 as a form of state obligations and responsibilities. In this case, efforts to protect, recover, prevent, and eliminate violence against children in Indonesia, especially in Makassar, have not been appropriately fulfilled and are ineffective yet. This is evident from the lack of legal counseling, and the provision of legal assistance for child victims of violence has not been optimal. Hence, many children still do not get their right to feel safe and protected during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is the responsibility of all stakeholders to increase productivity, human resources, and implementation of the 1989 UNCRC to realize the elimination of child violence in Indonesia.
Constructed Dialogue as Hermeneutic in Small Group Bible Study
Authors: Kraut Joshua
Published: September 2022

Modern-day readers of the Bible continually strive to bridge what Malley (2004) terms the “historical” and “devotional” horizons of the text: to understand the scriptures contextually and to discern their relevance for daily life. Through a discourse analysis of a contemporary American Bible study’s weekly conversations, this investigation reveals a particular discursive strategy, that of animating the voice of biblical characters, as a powerful hermeneutic tool in rendering the ancient text more intelligible and relatable. Voicing biblical characters, an instance of what Tannen (2007) terms “constructed dialogue,” enables contemporary readers to posit different inner mental states, motivations and attitudes of biblical characters which explain their actions while also rendering the narrative more vivid. Additionally, constructed dialogue enables readers to perform potential explanations for troublesome passages without claiming assent to them.

Rebel Trash, Bad Objects, Prison Hell
Authors: Runions Erin
Published: September 2022

This essay explores connections between the expansion of the prison industrial complex and the evangelical debate about hell in the late twentieth century. It starts from the evangelical assertion that the Valley of Hinnom, from which the idea of Gehenna emerged, was a place for burning garbage and dumping the bodies of criminals. It traces this misguided “fact” through its reception history back to Isaiah 66:24 and to the trauma and loss of war that the interpretive tradition disavows. Isaiah 66 describes a favored heir at Jerusalem’s breast and an expulsed group of rebels, following a strikingly similar trajectory to Melanie Klein’s psychoanalytic object relations. The subject phantasizes violence toward those projected as persecutory bad objects that threaten safety. The essay argues that Klein’s psychic structure, analyzed by critics as colonial, is resonant with evangelical discourses of hell, as well as with colonializing practices of waste management and incarceration. A close Kleinian reading of Isaiah 66 suggests that the final verse of eternal torment for rebels encodes a hyperbolic vilification and phantasy of violence toward the prophetic community’s own bad objects. It proposes instead a more complex reading of the conflict animating the poetry and suggests that the text may be read reparatively as a negotiation of loss for both sides in a situation of trauma; it welcomes the heterodox community back into the fold. Following critics of environmental racism and the domestic warfare of incarceration, it argues for decolonizing reparations that recognize the needs and desires of those most affected by idealizations of safety that do great harm. Finally, it argues that there is no reparation without understanding that we are connected to our bad objects.
