At the core of this thesis lies the research question: how did medical understandings and management of nausea and vomiting change in the period 1800-1900? In addition to being signs of bodily disorder, nausea and vomiting constituted an individual, typically non-medicalised experience of sickness. As such, a secondary thesis question is: how were nausea and vomiting experienced, interpreted and responded to by sufferers? These questions are pursued through four key themes: physiology, vomit analysis, morning sickness and sea-sickness. Medical textbooks, journals, hospital case reports, newspapers, letters and diaries are the principal source base. Throughout the nineteenth century physiological explanations for nausea and vomiting followed a generally reductionist path. In the 1830s Marshall Hall’s reflex theory encouraged new perceptions of the nervous mechanisms involved in nausea and vomiting, and helped stimulate their redefinition into local, central and peripheral causes. Changing physiological explanations for nausea and vomiting were also contemporaneous to the growth of microscopy. This thesis draws attention to the interest nineteenth-century practitioners showed in using vomited matters as pathological fluids. This is explored primarily through a case study of sarcina ventriculi, a vegetable microorganism discovered in fermenting vomit. Responses to this discovery showed that laboratory techniques were largely inapplicable to everyday occurrences of nausea and vomiting. Consequently, neither the increasing localisation of the causes of vomiting, nor interest in vomited matters as pathological fluids, contributed to specificity in diagnoses or treatments. This research thereby demonstrates the

  • Exploring Existential Angst, and the Self in Social Media Existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre in Nausea
    Exploring Existential Angst, and the Self in Social Media Existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre in Nausea By Kelly Mansfiled and Christine Onofrey Subjects: ELA, Philosophy, French Grade: 9-12 Introduction: Students will be introduced to Existentialism through discussion and excerpts from Jean-Paul Sartre’s novel, Nausea, which describes a certain vague feeling the main character, Roquentin, calls “nausea”. This feeling is basically a result of suspecting that there is a reality behind what we perceive as reality, an objective and subjective reality or Self. Realizing that upon piercing the veil of existence, there’s a subjective reality that we alone are responsible for creating - this creates a freedom, but also a burden and anxiety or nausea. That subjectivity (or the word “contingency” is used in Nausea) is the 1st principle of Existentialism. You may want to read some additional information to become more familiar with these ideas yourself. We recommend Sartre’s Existentialism is a Humanism for you, or even as extended reading for students. Roquentin’s revelations about reality and human consciousness lead him to his understanding that “existence precedes essence”. We exist first, and then do stuff and define who we are after the fact of existing.The implications of this are that we are all free to define our own essence. We exist, therefore we have anxiety about what to do with ourselves now that we exist. This overwhelming freedom is highly relatable to our students who are coping with their first waves of existential angst, as well as trying to construct their virtual Self/ Selves through multiplying social media and other online platforms.

  • "Pierre Loves Horranges": Sartre and Malabou on the Fantastic in Philosophy
    LABYRINTH Vol. 17, No. 2,Winter 2015 CONSTANCE L. MUI (New Orleans) JULIEN S. MURPHY (Portland, Maine) "Pierre Loves Horranges": Sartre and Malabou on the Fantastic in Philosophy Abstract In "Pierre Loves Horranges ", a little noticed essay on Sartre's existential psychoanalysis, emerging French philosopher Catherine Malabou offers a new reading of "Doing and Having", in Sartre's Being and Nothingness for her philosophy of the fantastic. We compare Sartre and Malabou on the fantastic, focusing on their analyses of quality, viscosity and ontological difference. We argue that Malabou's reinterpretation of Sartre's symbolic schema, which serves to make visible the change and exchange in the ontological difference, is valuable for a psychoanalysis of the future, one that comes after metaphysics and deconstruction. Key Words: Sartre, Malabou, ontology, psychoanalysis, plasticity, fantastic Interest in Sartre's existential psychoanalysis has declined in recent years with one notable exception, Catherine Malabou, a rising voice in recent continental philosophy.1 Sartre would no doubt be surprised at how few French women philosophers have garnered attention more than thirty-five years after his death. For instance, Ian James's recent collec- tion, The New French Philosophy, includes only one woman, Catherine Malabou, while other recent French philosophy volumes turn up no other names (Badiou 2012; Gutting 2013, and Mullarkey 2006). Certainly, after Sartre's longstanding encouragement of Beau- voir – she credits him for the idea of The Second Sex – he would pause to learn that the related question of women's subjectivity and autonomy would remain unsettled as Malabou shows in Changing Difference, her work on feminist philosophy and essentialism.

Her Philosophy of Religion course validated my wonderings about the universe and existence, while Philosophy and Women introduced me to inspiring feminist philosophers, and Philosophy in Literature showed me that literature helps us learn things about ourselves and was the driving factor behind my project. I am grateful to my project committee for their continued feedback and support throughout this process: Geri Chavis, who sparked my interest in bibliotherapy and the profound sense of fulfillment that novels and poetry can instill in us; Susan Hawthorne, whose scientific and philosophical advice helped me focus my project and keep it rooted in philosophy and literature; and Amy Hilden, whose Biomedical Ethics course got me thinking about the intersection of medicine and philosophy.

  • Nausea and the Adventures of the Narrative Self Ben Roth1
    How Sartre, Philosopher, Misreads Sartre, Novelist: Nausea and the Adventures of the Narrative Self Ben Roth1 Besides, art is fun and for fun, it has innumerable intentions and charms. Literature interests us on different levels in different fashions. It is full of tricks and magic and deliberate mystification. Literature entertains, it does many things, and philosophy does one thing. Iris Murdoch (1997, p. 4) If there is something comforting—religious, if you want—about paranoia, there is still also anti-paranoia, where nothing is connected to anything, a condition not many of us can bear for long. Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow (p. 434) Both those who write in favor of and against the notion of the narrative self cite Sartre and his novel Nausea as exemplary opponents of it. Alasdair MacIntyre, a central proponent of the narrative self, writes: “Sartre makes Antoine Roquentin argue not just [...] that narrative is very different from life, but that to present human life in the form of a narrative is always to falsify it” (1984, p. 214). Galen Strawson, a critic of narrativity, writes that “Sartre sees the narrative, story-telling impulse as a defect, regrettable. [...] He thinks human Narrativity is essentially a matter of bad faith, of radical (and typically irremediable) inauthenticity” (2004, p. 435). I think that this type of interpretation of Nausea is blindered and bad and relies on an impoverished approach to reading fiction typical of philosophers: of taking one character at one moment as mouthpiece for both a novel as a whole and author behind it. Beginning as it does in description, the novel challenges these conceptual orders rather than taking one side or the other; it thus invites us to rethink the terrain of narrativity.
