Political camerawork: documentary and the lasting impact of reenacting historical trauma.D. Andy Rice -2023 - Bloomington: Indiana University Press.detailsWhat mental and physical distress do actors, camerapersons, and reporters experience when working on reenactments of traumatic moments in history? In Political Camerawork, D. Andy Rice theorizes that the intense feelings produced while creating these performed scenarios, called "simulation documentaries," connect difficult pasts to the present. Building on his background as a nonfiction film director, producer, editor, and cinematographer, Rice analyzes performance techniques to gain insight into the emotional toll of simulation documentaries, including those reliving the Vietnam War, the US (...) military's embodied training in California during the Iraq War, and an annual quadruple lynching reenactment organized by Black civil rights activists in Georgia. Investigating the lasting impact of these productions, Political Camerawork reveals that, by performing a simulation of a traumatic event they didn't directly experience, those involved become carriers of the trauma.

Consciousness as an engineering issue. Part 1.D. Michie -1994 -Journal of Consciousness Studies 1 (2):182-185.detailsConsciousness has been widely regarded as the central arena for the mental solution of problems. A variant view locates the business end of problem solving elsewhere, with conscious intervention only for intermittent monitoring and goal-setting. In this scenario conscious awareness, with `intelligent' processes generally, is largely specialized to the construction and communication of appropriate after-the-event histories and explanations.The first part of the paper traces a long march undertaken by main-stream artificial intelligence basing itself on the first assumption. Disappointment with the (...) result has prompted interest in the second view, which forms the main topic of Part 2, 1995, pp. 52-66). (shrink)
La temporalité chrétienne au regard des problématiques contemporaine de la temporalité.D. Bourdin -1997 -Recherches de Science Religieuse 85 (1):77-84.detailsÀ partir d'une prise en compte de la réflexion actuelle sur la complexité du temps, illustrée par le déploiement des temps dans 1a pratique psychanalytique, il est possible de montrer qu'une spécificité chrétienne du temps est repérable, malgré la diversité des modèles théologiques qui ont pu ou peuvent en rendre compte. C'est la dimension eschatologique de ce temps chrétien qui est par elle-même significative pour nos contemporains, pourvu que les représentations qu'elle véhicule soient soumises à une régulation critique.From a consideration (...) of present day reflection on the complexity of time, illustrated by the unfolding of time in psychoanalytic practice, it is possible to show that a Christian specificity of time can be located in spite of the diversity of theological models that could have or can give an account of it. It is the eschatological dimension of itself significant for our contemporaries, as long as the representations which it transmits are controlled by critical rules. (shrink)

Meaning, normativity, and reductive naturalism.D. C. Smith -2001 -Sorites 12 (May):60-65.detailsIn «The Normativity of Meaning», Eric Gampel argues that the capacity to justify a linguistic usage is essential to meaning and suggests that this fact entails that naturalistic theories of meaning must take a non-reductive form if they are to be viable. I will argue that reductive and non-reductive naturalisms stand or fall together in the face of Gampel's argument that meaning plays an essential justificatory role. I will further argue that, if they fall, the lesson to be learned is (...) not that we should avoid reductionism, but rather, that we should steer clear of physicalism in our meaning theory; if Gampel's argument is cogent, any theory of meaning will have to make reference to at least some abstract objects.
