Platone e la verità
Creators: name: Migliori, Maurizio
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: For Plato the philosopher who writes must have two attentions: to defend the most important things from possible misunderstandings; bring the reader not to learn philosophy but to do philosophy, through provocations and indications that he himself defines (important) games. This is intertwined with the conviction that the complexity of the world requires a multifocal approach, with the consequent necessity of very different judgments. For example, truth is an undeniable presence in the dialogues, but it is a human not absolute but relative truth. Absolute truth is only the divine one. However this human truth, though so weak, is necessary for our activities, starting from the communicative structures. Its foundation is in a particular form of a prior knowledge, the anamnesis, which in its pure form is only an opinion (doxa). This, through a theoretical research stimulated by experience or teachings, can develop into a true science (episteme). This does not involve a reduction of knowledge to the pure eidetic sphere: Plato in many ways values opinion, which can also be true and which is useful, not to say necessary, in the normal forms of human existence.

description: This paper deals with the current political debate on the incapability of thinking of the future and tries to shed light on one of the features which is normally overlooked, namely the public nature of the concept of history. After a broad overview on the recent insights on the need of developing a hermeneutic reflection on historical experience, I will consider the work of Hannah Arendt and Pierre Bourdieu in order to retrace the disentanglement of modern rationality from the perception of history as a process. Finally, through the work of Nancy, I will suggest that the social atomisation fostered by the end of Fordism and Keynesian politics affected the gaze at the past, determining the fragmentation of history in multiple stories. This paper aims at showing that our impotence lays on the fact that the concept of history had more to do with that of community than that of time, and that is what is compromised.

description: The applied potential governs lithium-intercalation and electrode passivation reactions in lithium ion batteries, but are challenging to calibrate in condensed phase DFT calculations. In this work, the "anode potential" of charge-neutral lithium-intercalated graphite (LiC(6)) with oxidized edge planes is computed as a function of Li-content n(Li)) at edge planes, using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), a previously introduced Li+ transfer free energy method, and the experimental Li+/Li(s) value as reference. The voltage assignments are corroborated using explicit electron transfer from fluoroethylene carbonate radical anion markers. PF6- is shown to decompose electrochemically (i.e., not just thermally) at low potentials imposed by our voltage calibration technique. We demonstrate that excess electrons reside in localized states-in-the-gap in the organic carbonate liquid region, which is not semiconductor-like (band-state-like) as widely assumed in the literature.

Optimal measurements for the discrimination of quantum states with a fixed rate of inconclusive results

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the discrimination of N mixed quantum states in an optimal measurement that maximizes the probability of correct results while the probability of inconclusive results is fixed at a given value. After considering the discrimination of N states in a d-dimensional Hilbert space, we focus on the discrimination of qubit states. We develop a method to determine an optimal measurement for discriminating arbitrary qubit states, taking into account that often the optimal measurement is not unique and the maximum probability of correct results can be achieved by several different measurements. Analytical results are derived for a number of examples, mostly for the discrimination between qubit states which possess a partial symmetry, but also for discriminating N equiprobable qubit states and for the dicrimination between a pure and a uniformly mixed state in d dimensions. In the special case where the fixed rate of inconclusive results is equal to zero, our method provides a treatment for the minimum-error discrimination of arbitrary qubit states which differs from previous approaches.

description: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability worldwide. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the internal consistency reliability of eight language versions of the Family Management Measure (FaMM) and compare family management of DS across cultures. A total of 2,740 parents of individuals with DS from 11 countries completed the FaMM. The analysis provided evidence of internal consistency reliability exceeding.70 for four of six FaMM scales for the entire sample. Across countries, there was a pattern of positive family management. Cross-cultural comparisons revealed parents from Brazil, Spain, and the United States had the most positive family management and respondents from Ireland, Italy, Japan, and Korea had the least positive. The rankings were mixed for the four remaining countries. These findings provide evidence of overall strong internal consistency reliability of the FaMM. More cross-cultural research is needed to understand how social determinants of health influence family management in families of individuals with DS.

description: Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the front-line therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), where phase 3 clinical trials have demonstrated their safety and efficacy. However, trial patients may not be representative of real-world patients (RWPs). Objective: To evaluate RWP clinical factors associated with effectiveness and safety in CML patients treated with TKIs. Methods: Patients with CML treated with at least 30 days of imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, or bosutinib between 2014 and 2018 were included. Patients were stratified into categories based on the number of factors that would have precluded enrollment into pivotal TKI phase 3 trials (0, 1, ≥2). End points included complete hematologic response (CHR), early molecular response (EMR), major molecular response (MMR), adverse event (AE)-induced dose decreases, treatment interruptions, and treatment discontinuations. Results: Final analyses included 174 patients. Patients with ≥2 factors had a higher risk of dose decreases (relative risk = 1.54; 95% CI = 1.02-2.34; P = 0.02) and a shorter time to dose decrease (hazard ratio = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.23-4.97; P = 0.006) compared with patients with 0 factors. Significant differences were observed in CHR at 1 month and MMR at 3 months between patients with 0 and ≥2 factors (P = 0.03 and P = 0.04, respectively). Conclusion and Relevance: Approximately 60% of our RWPs would have been excluded from the pivotal phase 3 TKI trials. These data suggest that RWPs require more precise dosing to achieve CML clinical milestones and to mitigate AEs, but findings should be validated prospectively.

description: Parent-implemented interventions (PIIs) hold promise for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. Yet, reports of parent and family perceptions regarding PIIs are limited. The present study’s purpose was to gain parent perceptions regarding the helpful and challenging intervention components and contextual factors in the implementation of one PII in their daily lives. Six interviews were conducted and analyzed using an exploratory qualitative approach. Findings included considerable parent satisfaction with intervention experiences, particularly related to the use of videos taken of themselves and their children during intervention sessions. Some parents voiced discouragement after watching video examples, and parents reported challenges finding time to implement the intervention. Parents valued the supportive relationship formed with their interventionist. Additional findings and implications for research and practice are discussed.
La rivoluzione ai tempi del postmoderno

description: The following article highlights the characteristics of the concept of Revolution and Resistance in Lyotard’s postmodern paradigm. To do this, the revolutionary practice is analysed from three different perspectives: that of the actors, that of the spectators, and that of the theorists of the revolution. Each of these perspectives brings with it a different concept of revolution, with a different concept of time. These three perspectives are radically modified in postmodernism and its reading of the revolutionary event: some perspectives maintain continuity with the past, others, like that of the revolution theorist, are no longer conceivable within the postmodern paradigm. Finally, the article tries to investigate in what way we can think and act the resistance and the revolution in the contemporary age.

Hydrodynamic Limits for Spatially Structured Interacting Neurons

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: In this paper we study the hydrodynamic limit for a stochastic process describing the time evolution of the membrane potentials of a system of neurons with spatial dependency. We do not impose on the neurons mean-field type interactions. The values of the membrane potentials evolve under the effect of chemical and electrical synapses and leak currents. The system consists of $ε^{-2}$ neurons embedded in $[0,1)^2$, each spiking randomly according to a point process with rate depending on both its membrane potential and position. When neuron $i$ spikes, its membrane potential is reset to a resting value while the membrane potential of $j$ is increased by a positive value $ε^2 a(i,j)$, if $i$ influences $j$. Furthermore, between consecutive spikes, the system follows a deterministic motion due both to electrical synapses and leak currents. The electrical synapses are involved in the synchronization of neurons. For each pair of neurons $(i,j)$, we modulate this synchronizing strength by $ε^2 b(i,j)$, where $b(i,j)$ is a nonnegative symmetric function. On the other hand, the leak currents inhibit the activity of all neurons, attracting simultaneously their membrane potentials to the resting value. In the main result of this paper is shown that the empirical distribution of the membrane potentials converges, as the parameter $ε$ goes to zero, to a probability density $ρ_t(u,r)$ which is proved to obey a non linear PDE of Hyperbolic type.
La rivoluzione è possibile

description: Gadamer’s critical remarks on the Enlightenment’s claims against prejudice raise some questions: isn’t it true that revolution too has a tradition in which it has been thought? Therefore, isn’t it true that it owes something to a historical context, that can justify it and give it a sense? As far as a revolutionary subject is concerned: isn’t it true that its political purposes are strongly influenced by an inherited historical background? Gadamer’s point of view on Enlightenment foreshadows a critical approach philosophical hermeneutics has any historical attempts at subverting a given order and at interrupting historical continuity. After having summarized Gadamer’s means of distrust of revolution, we will discuss some texts Lenin wrote in April 1917 as a good example of how time and order can be conceived from the point of view of a Marxist–Hegelian intellectual directly engaged in a revolutionary process. The unusual confrontation between the hermeneutical distrust of revolution and some reflections of revolutionary types will help reconfigure the problem.

Pathways to the Problem of Founding in Contemporary Political Thought
Creators: name: Trimçev, Eno
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: The article argues that the dominant approach on political foundings as standing in for ordinary political acts loses sight of their uniqueness as polity–establishing acts. Relying on Claude Lefort and Eric Voegelin, it recovers founding moments phenomenally and philosophically by distinguishing them from revolutions. Phenomenally, it argues that whereas revolutions follow a three–stage form of mobilization, downfall, and constitution, foundings are missing such a pre–defined form. Accordingly, revolutions can be understood in the consecutive time–sequence in which the event unfolded in history, while foundings are endowed with a form only retrospectively, through the effort to understand them. A founding, therefore, cannot be a pre–fixed discrete event in history but is found in the displacement of that event in time by the understanding effort. Philosophically, the nature of the problem of founding reemerges out of (a) the constitution of a founding act as the difference between the visible phenomenon and its invisible form, and (b) the common experience of philosophizing and founding as an act of resistance to the pre–existing political order. Accordingly, the social sciences may be more appropriate to the conceptualization and study of revolutions, political philosophy is more appropriate to the conceptualization of foundings and the hermeneutic sciences are more appropriate to the study of particular founding moments.

description: Combining datasets is desirable when building machine learning models. Differences in data acquisition present undesired variability undermining subsequent machine learning performance. Data harmonization methods such as ComBat can be employed, however, the requirement of test set labels causes data leakage and prevents real-world deployment. We propose a method called JuHarmonize that harmonizes data without those issues.

description: Despite most children with cerebral palsy (CP) now living within typical life spans, little is known about how the effects of CP unfold across the life course and impact participation in everyday life during adulthood. In this study, we explored the experiences of 38 adults growing older with CP. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews focused on participants’ engagement in activities in their community and analyzed using a life course perspective to deepen our understanding of the experiences of our participants. We found that individual agency, family and social contexts, as well as larger sociocultural contexts all shaped participants’ experiences as they grew older. The findings highlight the usefulness of the life course perspective for understanding how the effects of a diagnosis of CP unfold over time. Further use of this perspective can better inform health care services to meet the needs of adults with CP aging with a lifelong disability.

description: The recent discovery of superconductivity at 190~K in highly compressed H$_{2}$S is spectacular not only because it sets a record high critical temperature, but because it does so in a material that appears to be, and we argue here that it is, a conventional strong-coupling BCS superconductor. Intriguingly, superconductivity in the observed pressure and temperature range was predicted theoretically in a similar compound H$_{3}$S. Several important questions about this remarkable result, however, are left unanswered: (1) Does the stoichiometry of the superconducting compound differ from the nominal composition, and could it be the predicted H$_{3}$S compound? (2) Is the physical origin of the anomalously high critical temperature related only to the high H phonon frequencies, or does strong electron-ion coupling play a role? We show that at experimentally relevant pressures H$_2$S is unstable, decomposing into H$_3$S and S, and that H$_3$S has a record high $T_c$ due to its covalent bonds driven metallic. The main reason for this extraordinarily high $T_c$ in H$_3$S as compared with MgB$_2$, another compound with a similar superconductivity mechanism, is the high vibrational frequency of the much lighter H atoms.

description: This chapter reviews the differential geometry-based solvation and electrolyte transport for biomolecular solvation that have been developed over the past decade. A key component of these methods is the differential geometry of surfaces theory, as applied to the solvent-solute boundary. In these approaches, the solvent-solute boundary is determined by a variational principle that determines the major physical observables of interest, for example, biomolecular surface area, enclosed volume, electrostatic potential, ion density, electron density, etc. Recently, differential geometry theory has been used to define the surfaces that separate the microscopic (solute) domains for biomolecules from the macroscopic (solvent) domains. In these approaches, the microscopic domains are modeled with atomistic or quantum mechanical descriptions, while continuum mechanics models (including fluid mechanics, elastic mechanics, and continuum electrostatics) are applied to the macroscopic domains. This multiphysics description is integrated through an energy functional formalism and the resulting Euler-Lagrange equation is employed to derive a variety of governing partial differential equations for different solvation and transport processes; e.g., the Laplace-Beltrami equation for the solvent-solute interface, Poisson or Poisson-Boltzmann equations for electrostatic potentials, the Nernst-Planck equation for ion densities, and the Kohn-Sham equation for solute electron density. Extensive validation of these models has been carried out over hundreds of molecules, including proteins and ion channels, and the experimental data have been compared in terms of solvation energies, voltage-current curves, and density distributions. We also propose a new quantum model for electrolyte transport.

Citoyenneté, laïcité et révolution. Les nouveaux processus d’universalisation
Creators: name: Quintili, Paolo
Publisher: name: Trópos

description: The ancient opposition, dating back to the era of the French Revolution, between the Bourgeois, the Citizen and the Man, on whose foundations the Rights of Man and Citizen were built in 1789, at the beginning of the 21st century, is undermined by the new processes of constitution of nationalities and citizenship, in the context of neocapitalist globalization. These new processes of universalization put aside the idea of «revolution of human rights», placing the problem of human «dignity» at the center of the question, as a basic condition for the concrete exercise of the same human rights. Two preliminary conditions guarantee the success of this new kind of universalization and integration. 1/ The secularism and 2/ the cultural operation of the trans-historical Enlightenment (the political legacy of Revolution). Our essay analyzes these two possible ways of realizing a new universal, beyond the «revolution» but always in (conflictual) continuity with it.

description: Readmissions and emergency department (ED) visits after colorectal surgery (CRS) are common, burdensome, and costly. Effective strategies to reduce these unplanned postdischarge health care visits require a nuanced understanding of how and why patients make the decision to seek care. We used a purposefully stratified sample of 18 interview participants from a prospective cohort of adult CRS patients. Thirteen (72%) participants had an unplanned postdischarge health care visit. Participant decision-making was classified by methodology (algorithmic, guided, or impulsive), preexisting rationale, and emotional response to perceived health care needs. Participants voiced clear mental algorithms about when to visit an ED. In addition, participants identified facilitators and barriers to optimal health care use. They also identified tangible targets for health care utilization reduction efforts, such as improved care coordination with streamlined discharge instructions and improved communication with the surgical team. Efforts should be directed at improving postdischarge communication and care coordination to reduce CRS patients’ high-resource health care utilization.
Ricoeur and the Existentialist Threat to Revolutions
Creators: name: Deweer, Dries
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: Inspired by Gabriël Marcel and Karl Jaspers, Paul Ricoeur’s Philosophie de la Volonté (1950/1960) develops a particular approach to existentialism emphasizing that freedom and nature are not opposites, but rather paradoxically connected by means of the notions of vocation and commitment. Ricoeur presents a kind of ‘tragic optimism’ in which the human being is characterized as a fallible creature that, nevertheless, succeeds in exchanging fear for hope, based on the original affirmation of his existence. This article explains how Ricoeur’s position relates to the mainstream existentialist understanding of revolutions. I argue that Ricoeur uncovers an existentialist threat to revolutionary action in his reflections on Maurice Merleau–Ponty’s Humanisme et terreur (1948) and Albert Camus’s L’homme révolté (1951). This threat concerns the political danger of freedom without transcendence. If the existence for itself transcends any givenness, then it also transcends that which cannot be transcended or should not be transcended. Then freedom lacks the firmness of respect for human dignity as that which cannot be negated. That is why revolutionary action needs prophetic input — as a constant reminder of the primary affirmation of the absolute value of the human person — if it is to avoid nihilistic violence.

description: We evaluate the feasibility of using magnetic-dipole (M1) transitions in highly-charged ions as a basis of an optical atomic clockwork of exceptional accuracy. We consider a range of possibilities, including M1 transitions between clock levels of the same fine-structure and hyperfine-structure manifolds. In highly charged ions these transitions lie in the optical part of the spectra and can be probed with lasers. The most direct advantage of our proposal comes from the low degeneracy of clock levels and the simplicity of atomic structure in combination with negligible quadrupolar shift. We demonstrate that such clocks can have projected fractional accuracies below the $10^{-20}-10^{-21}$ level for all common systematic effects, such as black-body radiation, Zeeman, AC-Stark and quadrupolar shifts. Notice that usually-employed hyperfine clock transitions lie in the microwave spectral region. Our proposal moves such transitions to the optical domain. As the hyperfine transition frequencies depend on the fine-structure constant, electron-to-proton mass ratio, and nuclear magnetic moment, our proposal expands the range of experimental schemes for probing space and time variations of fundamental constants.

Creating Narrative Entertainment for Health Communication: Perspectives from Practice
Creators: name: Hursting, L.M.
name: Comello, M.L.G.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2021

description: This project aimed to explore the perspectives of entertainment industry and health communication practitioners in the United States on creating health storylines in entertainment programming. These dual perspectives are usually not studied in tandem but together offer insights into the creation of impactful health-related narratives. In-depth interviews were conducted with entertainment industry and health professionals (N = 6) who are experienced in creating health storylines. Questions aimed to illuminate how practitioners define ‘success’ of a health storyline, what they perceive as key elements for impactful health storylines, how key story elements are created and the nature of collaboration between the entertainment industry and public health. Grounded theory analysis identified three core themes for the successful combination of narrative entertainment and health: choosing teams with complementary strengths (e.g., leveraging professional collaboration and trust), knowing your audience (e.g., conducting formative research to understand who the story is intended for and why) and integrating health content in authentic ways (e.g., telling dramatic stories with universal themes, without creating from the intent of relaying health information). Best-practice guidelines for narrative entertainment to communicate about health, informed by the core themes and persuasion theory, are offered for narrative development, pre-production, content creation and dissemination.

description: The Memory Process, edited by Suzanne Nalbantian, Paul M. Matthews, and James L. McClelland, is an intriguing and well-written book that provides a groundbreaking overview of diverse approaches to understanding memory that sets the agenda for an interdisciplinary approach to the topic. Memory has long been a focus of investigation and interest in both the sciences and the humanities. The way memory enriches and distorts lived experience has been widely explored in literature and the arts. Our fascination with the subject is increasingly evident in popular culture, with the widespread proliferation of novels and movies in which events play out in a nonlinear fashion that reflects how memories of them are woven together in the minds of the characters involved. Scientific approaches to memory have focused on the study of amnesiacs, neuroimaging studies, and cognitive studies of the formation, retrieval, and forgetting of memories. Until now, however, humanistic and scientific investigations of memory have been carried out independently. This book provides an exemplary illustration of how disciplinary boundaries can be transcended, showing how approaches to memory from the humanities and the sciences can revitalize one another. With 19 chapters written by academics from a range of disciplines including neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, cognitive science, cultural studies, philosophy, bioethics, history of science, art, theatre, film, and literature, it is undoubtedly one of the most interdisciplinary books on library shelves. Together these diverse perspectives provide a broad and stimulating overview of the memory process.

Politiche rivoluzionarie e gnosticismo
Creators: name: Arrigo, Giacomo Maria
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: Revolutionary Gnosticism is a religious–philosophical category introduced in the academic debate by the philosopher Eric Voegelin (1901–1985). Starting from his important work, several philosophers and sociologists have adopted Gnosticism as a useful explanatory notion to frame and define numerous modern and contemporary political and cultural movements. The immanentization of the eschaton, which is a renowned Voegelian expression, intimately defines the politico–cultural project of revolutionary Gnosticism. The destruction of the past for the creation of a new world, the last aeon, demarcates the vision of history of revolutionary Gnosticism. Hence, according to a similar Weltanschauung, man replaces God, giving birth to «the idea of a transfiguration of mankind through a process of auto–redemption (grace replaced by revolution)» (Augusto Del Noce). The paper aims to investigate in broad terms the vast time span in which the concept of revolutionary Gnosticism has taken shape, from ancient Gnosis to Late Middle Ages, through seventeenth century Puritanism and Jacobinism, until twentieth–century totalitarianisms, eventually suggesting further lines of research. The present study intends to suggest a new interpretation for politico–revolutionary phenomena that have emerged in the whole West and in all epochs, with the purpose of finding a recurrent pattern that reflects one of the most disruptive intellectual engine for radical politics.

description: The article is devoted to the research of efficiency of Xilinx’s high-level synthesis tools, the Vivado HLS package version 2019.2, for synthesis of a hardware implementation of sorting algorithms. The relevance of creating hardware implementation of sorting algorithms is determined by modern approaches to building high-performance heterogeneous computing systems and modern criteria for the efficiency of such systems – the ratio of performance to power consumption and the ratio of real performance to peak performance. The authors carried out a comparative analysis of the implementation of the selected sorting algorithms on a universal processor and on the basis of the VLSI Xilinx submarine research. The article discusses approaches to optimize the description of algorithms and control the Vivado HLS package to achieve optimal performance of the resulting hardware solutions. The article shows that the main performance gain is provided by parallelizing of the source arrays processing, which is achieved both by the settings of the design tool, the Vivado HLS package, the selected description style, as well as the features of the sorting algorithm selected for hardware implementation.
description: Статья посвящена исследованию эффективности средств высокоуровневого синтеза компании Xilinx, пакета Vivado HLS версии 2019.2, для создания аппаратной реализации алгоритмов сортировки. Актуальность создания аппаратной реализации алгоритмов сортировки определяется современными подходами к построению высокопроизводительных гетерогенных вычислительных систем и современными критериями эффективности таких систем: отношению производительности к энергопотреблению и отношению реальной производительности к пиковой производительности. Проведен сравнительный анализ реализации выбранных алгоритмов сортировки на универсальном процессоре и на базе СБИС ПЛ компании Xilinx. Рассмотрены подходы и способы оптимизации описания алгоритмов и управления пакетом Vivado HLS для достижения оптимальных показателей эффективности полученных аппаратных решений. Показано, что основной выигрыш в производительности дает возможность частичного распараллеливания процесса обработки исходных массивов, что достигается как настройками средства проектирования – пакета Vivado HLS, выбранным стилем описания, так и особенностями алгоритма сортировки, выбранного для аппаратной реализации.

description: Proportional rates models are frequently used for the analysis of recurrent event data with multiple event categories. When some of the event categories are missing, a conventional approach is to either exclude the missing data for a complete-case analysis or employ a parametric model for the missing event type. It is well known that the complete-case analysis is inconsistent when the missingness depends on covariates, and the parametric approach may incur bias when the model is misspecified. In this paper, we aim to provide a more robust approach using a rate proportion method for the imputation of missing event types. We show that the log-odds of the event type can be written as a semiparametric generalized linear model, facilitating a theoretically justified estimation framework. Comprehensive simulation studies were conducted demonstrating the improved performance of the semiparametric method over parametric procedures. Multiple types of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections of young cystic fibrosis patients were analyzed to demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed approach.
La politica come rivoluzione antropologica
Creators: name: Profumi, Emanuele
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2018

description: To analytically refute the thesis of Axel Honneth on the Cornelius Castoriadis’ concept of revolution allows to identify different ideas of revolution that mark his philosophical–political horizon. After the publication of his main book, The Imaginary Institution of Society (1975), Castoriadis distinguishes the ideas of Social–historical and human autonomy to prevent building a political ontology. On this basis, he affirms a new idea of revolution at the beginning of the decade of 80s: revolution is a general and instituting political practice. At the base of the “Project of Autonomy” there is Politics, understood as a social–historical creation that establishes autonomy on a collective level. Through a precise analysis of his thesis, we can affirm that this idea can be expressed by the concept of “political creation”, and we can highlight it is based on the philosophical category of anthropological transformation. Despite its validity, the idea of “political creation” must be rethought.

One Direction real person fiction on Wattpad.com: A textual analysis of sexual consent
Creators: name: Hedrick, A.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Ltd
Year: 2021

description: This study focuses on the dominant scripts for sexual consent represented in popular fictional stories of celebrities written by their female fans. A textual analysis was performed on a subset of the most read real person fiction (RPF) stories—a type of fanfiction— about the popular boy band One Direction. Stories were publicly available from an online fiction-writing platform with an extensive user base of teenage girls and young women. Verbal negotiations of sexual consent were frequently featured in these stories. However, several themes emerged to blur clear distinctions between the presence and lack of consent: hesitance or unease for sexual interactions, assumption of a partner’s sexual consent, unclear identification of sexual assault, language of attack or aggression to describe sexual interactions, and normalization of sexual actions that surprise a partner. A number of rape myths were also prevalent throughout the stories. The implications of these scripts for One Direction fans and for sexual scripting theory are discussed.
