Remediating Ripley
Authors: Miller Bronwyn 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines Ellen Ripley’s adaption into video games and traces the evolution of Ripley’s representation in this medium, since the character’s first video game appearance in 1984, by comparing Alien Resurrection (1997) in its respective film and video game (2000) form. After comparatively analysing the film and game, the study explores how gaming tropes are continuing to problematically structure the representation of Ellen Ripley or female avatars within the Alien game franchise and where there has been resistance to these tendencies. This research demonstrates that adopting feminist-psychoanalytic film analysis for video games highlights where patriarchal systems effect the representation and processes of spectatorial identification with Ellen Ripley. Overall, the study concludes that the video game remediation of Alien Resurrection (1997) marginalizes the avatar body of Ripley through the substitution of a previously established male first-person shooter perspective, eroding the possibility of spectatorial identification with Ripley’s cinematic character and her objectives. Furthermore, that the gaming industry’s desire to predict its financial gains by catering to a consumer contributes to the entrenchment of tropes that force players’ subject identification through a video-game-specific male gaze and weaponized action. While this problematic form of representation continues in various Alien franchise games, such as Alien vs. Predator (2010) and Aliens: Colonial Marines (2013), Alien: Isolation (2014) provides an interesting alternative to female representation in the Alien video game universe.

Complicated Family Networks
Authors: Offutt Stephen 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Family systems draw evangelicals and gang members into what are often intimate relationships. I explain the complicated family structures of lower-class El Salvador. I then present five findings from my research: 1) evangelicals and gang members populate the same families; 2) evangelicals and gang members within the same families often find ways to support one anothmer; 3) conflict can emerge between gang members and evangelicals within families; 4) children in evangelical households who grow up within a gang environment often become gang members; and 5) gang members often seek out evangelical organizations for help in raising their own children. These findings build on each other and are intended to tell part of the story of how, and the extent to which, evangelicals and gangs have become entangled.
Introduction
Authors: Block Ned 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces key concepts of perception, cognition, concept, proposition, high-level properties, low-level properties, iconic representations, nonconceptual state, nonpropositional state, associative agnosia, apperceptive agnosia, the global broadcasting approach to consciousness, the recurrent processing view of consciousness, the distinction between perception and a minimal immediate direct perceptual judgment, core cognition, the difference between intrinsic and derived intentionality, peripheral inflation, fragile visual short-term memory, working memory, slot vs. pool models of working memory, conceptual engineering, the language of thought, and the default mode network. It explains the three-layer methodology of the book: It starts with prescientific ways of thinking of perception and cognition, using them to identify apparent indicators of perception and cognition; then considers whether the indicators depend on constitutive properties of perception and cognition or mere symptoms; and then leverages those conclusions to find the constitutive features of perception and cognition. The chapter explains how work on the neural and psychological basis of consciousness can be repurposed to isolate the psychological and neural basis of perception. The chapter ends with a consideration of consequences outside philosophy of mind of the views presented.
Perception is iconic; cognition is discursive
Authors: Block Ned 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter distinguishes iconic from discursive representation in the context of a discussion of format and function. It discusses the determinacy of iconic representation, analog magnitude representation, mental imagery, holism, and integral vs. separable dimensions. It rebuts dualistic views of perception that treat object perception as discursive. That discussion concerns object-file representations in perception and memory. The chapter argues that the term “object-file” is a locus of confusion since it can be used to denote nonconceptual nonpropositional perceptual representations and also conceptual propositional representations in working memory. This discussion depends on distinguishing iconic memory, fragile visual short-term memory, and working memory.
Top-down effects that are probably not cases of cognitive penetration
Authors: Block Ned 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Although, as argued in Chapter 9, cognitive penetration occurs in the case of ambiguous stimuli especially when feature-based attention is deployed, cognitive penetration is not as common as many suppose. This chapter discusses the question of whether knowledge of what is depicted by a figure has an effect on whether it is seen as a figure or as ground, concluding that classic effects are more likely to be a product of familiarity, a non-cognitive form of memory and of standard gestalt principles than of knowledge. The only clear cases of cognitive penetration in figure/ground perception are effects of feature-based attention of the sort discussed in Chapter 9. Experiments are discussed that appear to show that knowledge of the color of fruits and vegetables affect how they look. The chapter argues that these effects, if they exist, are probably due to associations within the visual system. The chapter also discusses experiments that suggest the effects are not visual at all.
Modularity
Authors: Block Ned 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
One approach to the perception/cognition distinction is based on the cognitive architecture of the mind, the relatively fixed structures within which perception and cognition operate. One type of architectural theory is the modularity view. Another is the dimension restriction hypothesis. But even if the mind is not modular, there are significant partial truths in modularity theses. For example, perception has significant dimensions of informational encapsulation. Jerry Fodor (1983) characterized modules in terms of a list of nine diagnostic properties that are supposed to apply to input systems but not to central cognition. Those properties are: domain specificity, mandatory operation, limited central accessibility, fast processing, informational encapsulation, “shallow” outputs, fixed neural architecture, characteristic and specific breakdown pattern, and characteristic ontogenetic pace and sequencing. Each module was supposed to have its own “database” and its own algorithms which were available to the computations of that module but not to other modules. This chapter discusses Fodor’s notion of modularity and goes through his criteria one by one, concluding that there is some truth in the modularity thesis but that it is substantially wrong.
Consciousness
Authors: Block Ned 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that nonconceptual conscious perception as explored earlier in the book challenges cognitive theories of consciousness such as the global workspace and higher order thought approaches. The chapter starts with a discussion of whether the neural basis of consciousness is centered in the “front” of the head or the “back” (using the shorthand version of the opposition). This discussion is coupled with appeals to the distinction between contingent and causal factors in the neural basis of consciousness. With those ideas as background, the discussion turns to the difference between phenomenal and access consciousness. The heart of the chapter is an argument, based on the discussion of Chapter 6 that infants between 6 and 11 months old have phenomenal-consciousness of color without access-consciousness of color. The discussion then turns to empirical arguments given by Hakwan Lau and Richard Brown involving appeals to hallucination and to two forms of “inflation,” peripheral inflation and inattentional inflation. The discussion then turns to overflow, biological reductionism, direct awareness and teleological views. Then David Chalmers’ Fading Qualia argument is addressed. The chapter ends with a discussion of consciousness and free will.
Conclusions
Authors: Block Ned 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The view that perception is constitutively iconic, nonconceptual, and nonpropositional is far from new, having been debated pro and con for many years, with many philosophers and many scientists on both sides of the debate. The purpose of this book has been to clarify these debates, to sketch actual experimental evidence for the positive side and to draw conclusions about the nature of consciousness, including in particular an argument for phenomenal consciousness without access consciousness. This chapter lists sixteen questions with which the book opened and summarizes the responses to the questions. It reviews the arguments of each chapter in turn.
Neurobiology
Authors: Simeon Daphne , Abugel Jeffrey 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the various biological factors that may be involved in depersonalization/derealization (dpdr) and depersonalization/derealization disorder (DDD). The role of sensory association cortical areas and corticocortical dysconnectivity models are discussed, vis-à-vis the perceptual alterations characteristic of the disorder. The role of the limbic system and the cortico-limbic disconnection hypothesis, as relating to the hypoemotionality of DDD, are explored. Findings related to the autonomic system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are presented. The putative role of the serotonergic and endogenous opioid systems is examined. Finally, we discuss brain rhythm findings related to dissociation, as well as the neuroscience of selfhood.
Vines
Authors: Szymanski Erika 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The meaning of “species” and “clone” is changing in the wine world, thanks to new breeding techniques for hybridizing valuable characteristics such as disease resistance or heat tolerance into desirable vine backgrounds. How should we classify the variety of vines that are now available? That depends on what differences matter most. Classification is always a matter of prioritizing some similarities and differences over others, and different groups don’t always share the same priorities. This chapter reviews the genetic and cultural basis for wine grape taxonomy, clone designations as they have emerged following the phylloxera crisis, and classification challenges presented by contemporary hybridization and genetic modification efforts.
Minerality
Authors: Szymanski Erika 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Minerality, as a perception and a wine descriptor, has nothing to do with minerals. Like so much else in wine language, minerality is a metaphor by which we make sense of something intangible by comparing it to something else. What we’re talking about when we’re talking about minerality, in chemical terms, is still up in the air, because minerals in the soil bear no identifiable relationship to minerals in your glass. Nevertheless, minerality can be a useful wine descriptor because tasters can reliably use it to communicate about socially constructed perceptions. This chapter introduces recent research into how minerality relates to the biochemical composition of wine and the language of tasting notes.
Climate
Authors: Szymanski Erika 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Cool-climate wines are trendy, but defining cool calls for more than just following temperature trends. Climate can be quantified according to several major metrics and any number of minor variations on those themes, but they don’t all measure the same thing for the same purpose. Whether climate is most about the lived experience of the vine, the identity of a region, its location on a map, or the style of wine produced there has everything to do with why we’re talking about climate in the first place. “Cool-climate” isn’t collectively defined or regulated. Consequently, the descriptor has as much to do with story as with science—which doesn’t necessarily make it any less helpful for understanding what’s going on inside a bottle. This chapter reviews approaches to classifying winemaking climates and how they are changing in light of global heating.
Introduction
Authors: Bronner Yigal 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The book’s introductory chapter explores the broad contours of the Asian story of Dandin’s Mirror (Kāvyādarśa) by comparing it to the tale of Aristotle’s Poetics. The introduction also places Dandin’s work in the context of Sheldon Pollock’s theory of the Sanskrit cosmopolis and its subsequent vernacularization. The chapter shows that the Mirror’s amazing success in Kannada, Sinhala, Pali, Tamil, Tibetan, and other literary cultures can our expand understanding of the cosmopolitan values and of its transmission networks (here emphasizing the Buddhist monastic and intellectual network, in addition to Pollock’s focus on the royal court). The introduction also offers an overview of textual strategies used in response to the Mirror, with a focus on selectivity and retention, playfulness and distinction, and, finally, remodeling and repurposing. The introduction concludes with a comment on the future orientation of Dandin as related to its lasting impact in different parts of Asia.
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times
Authors: Jamieson Kathleen Hall , Levendusky Matthew , Pasek Josh , Renninger Andrew 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the effects that the economic collapse trigged by pandemic-related disruptions had on the 2020 election. This part of the chapter, Part 1, details Trump’s and Biden’s arguments about the economy, which were intimately connected to how they approached the COVID-19 pandemic. In Part 2, we show how the economy played out electorally. All voters—even Biden supporters—thought the economy was one of Trump’s strongest issues. Across the course of the year, voters experienced a K-shaped recovery, with those at the top of the economic ladder doing much better than those at the bottom, a phenomenon that shaped both the experiences of our respondents and their perceptions of the economy. The fact that those at the bottom experienced genuine economic desperation (i.e., an inability to afford basic necessities such as food and shelter) affected their electoral participation.
Music for the Masses
Authors: Celenza Anna Harwell 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter looks at the connections between professional music performance and human flourishing, specifically the ways in which changes in technology have influenced the performers’ participation in “emotional labor” and the effects these changes have had on the complex nature of their connection with fans. The chapter begins in the nineteenth century, when virtuoso performers connected with listeners directly via extended, transcontinental concert tours. The discussion then moves to the rise of recording technology in the twentieth century and its impact on the performer/fan relationship. Finally, the appearance of social media and streaming services is considered. With each technological advance, the role of the performer has changed, especially with regard to his/her/their participation in emotional labor. The central question this chapter proposes to answer is: What happens to human flourishing when the performer/fan relationship is commodified?
Individuals and Identity
Authors: Lascano Marcy P. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines Margaret Cavendish’s and Anne Conway’s view on the nature of individuals. It explains how Cavendish and Conway, who are both monists, explain the fact that there are multiple individuals in the world and how these individuals can be distinguished from other individuals. It argues that both Cavendish and Conway track identity over time by the ordering and arrangements of parts of individuals. For Cavendish, this involves the arrangement and ordering of all the matter of an individual from birth to death. For Conway, this involves tracking the changes of ordering of the central spirit. The chapter explores each philosopher’s views on the generation, growth, and death of individuals, and their views on the unity of the mind.
Becoming Jihadis
Authors: Chernov Hwang Julie 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Why does someone join an extremist group? What are the pathways via which individuals join such groups? How does one show commitment to an extremist group? Why does someone participate in acts of terrorism? Drawing on 175 interviews with current and former members of Islamist extremist groups in Indonesia and the Philippines, Becoming Jihadis: Radicalization and Commitment in Southeast Asia answers these questions by exploring the socio-emotional underpinnings of joining an extremist group. This book argues that social ties play a critical role at every juncture in the joining process, from initial engagement to commitment to participation in jihad experiences, paramilitary training, and terrorism. It unpacks the process by which members build a sense of community, connection, solidarity, and brotherhood; how they come to trust and love one another; and how ideology functions as a binding agent, not a cause. Becoming Jihadis draws its conclusions from broad patterns data based on nearly a decade of iterated interviews with current and former members of Islamist extremist groups between 2010 and 2019 as well as partial life histories detailing the journeys of specific men and women from joining to commitment to participation in high-risk activism.
Introduction
Authors: Medina José 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The Introduction explains why the book focuses on protest under conditions of oppression. It argues against two widespread misconceptions about protest: that protesting is an easy thing to do in Western liberal democracies with formal freedoms of assembly and expression, and that protest has epistemic value only as an instrument of public information and persuasion. Against these assumptions, the Introduction argues (1) that it is not easy for people to come to protest even in democratic societies because it requires a difficult process of critical awakening about experiences of injustice and overcoming communicative and epistemic challenges against speaking up posed by oppressive conditions, and (2) that protesting has intrinsic communicative and epistemic value that goes beyond informing and persuading others and consists in transforming the public sphere by creating new publics and attempting to transform social sensibilities. The introduction also provides a roadmap for the book and a brief synopsis of the seven chapters.
No Justice, No Peace: Uncivil Protest and the Politics of Confrontation
Authors: Medina José 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2 argues for the contextual legitimacy of uncivil protest: when there is no communicative justice, protesting publics have to resort to uncivil protests in order to be heard in the public sphere and in order to be able to resist the insensitivity of publics and institutions that ignore them. The chapter argues both against conservative views for which protests are legitimate only if previously authorized and in full conformity with law and order, and against liberal views that allow for civil disobedience but, either for principled or for strategic reasons, allow only for protests that remain civil. The author argues that oppression and radical exclusion call for a politics of confrontation and introduces epistemic activism as a crucial component of such politics. On the author’s view, contexts of oppression and radical exclusion warrant the use of incivility and mild forms of violence for protesting injustice. Elucidating the history of protests in sports, the activism of ACT UP, and the counter-protests of Black Lives Matter, I argue that, under conditions of oppression and radical exclusion, protest movements can legitimately use incivility and mild forms of violence (i.e., those involved in coercive and confrontational, guerrilla protest tactics) while still being committed to the mitigation of violence.
Protest as Critique
Authors: Medina José 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Chapter 6 develops a discussion of the evaluative dimension of protest through an analysis of the political emotions expressed in protest acts. The first section of this chapter explains how emotions contain critical evaluations and I argue that emotional expressivity is crucial for social criticism. The rest of the chapter examines how the critical evaluations expressed in protest are grounded in political emotions and how the emotional expressivity of protest can be elaborated into critical discourses. The chapter draws from Alison Jaggar’s distinction between conventional emotions and outlaw emotions to shed light on the different evaluative attitudes and critical reactions to injustice of protesting publics. The chapter argues that, through linguistic elaboration, the critical evaluations contained in conventional and outlaw emotions lead to two different kinds of critical discourses: meliorative and radical forms of social criticism. The chapter elucidates the distinction between meliorative critique and radical critique through an analysis of queer activism and the critical discourses of the marriage equality movement, ACT UP, and Queer Nation. The guerrilla protest tactics of ACT UP illustrate well how, under conditions of communicative and epistemic injustice, when publics and institutions refuse to listen or are affectively and epistemically ill-equipped to listen properly, aggressive communicative action is needed to break social silences and actively resist insensitivity.
