  • It Reveals Who I Really Am”: New Metaphors, Symbols, and Motifs in Representations of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Popular Culture
    “IT REVEALS WHO I REALLY AM”: NEW METAPHORS, SYMBOLS, AND MOTIFS IN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Summer Joy O’Neal A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angela Hague, Chair Dr. David Lavery Dr. Robert Petersen Copyright © 2013 Summer Joy O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There simply is not enough thanks to thank my family, my faithful parents, T. Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today. I am forever grateful to my wonderful director, Dr. Angela Hague, whose commitment to this project went above and beyond what I deserved to expect. To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies. Yet most of all, Ephesians 3.20-21. iii ABSTRACT Autism has been sensationalized by the media because of the disorder’s purported prevalence: Diagnoses of this condition that was traditionally considered to be quite rare have radically increased in recent years, and an analogous fascination with autism has emerged in the field of popular culture.

  • On the Cognitive Bases of Illusionism: an Untapped Tool for Brain and Behavioral Research
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 2 January 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202001.0011.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at PeerJ 2020, 8, e9712; doi:10.7717/peerj.9712 On the Cognitive Bases of Illusionism: An Untapped Tool for Brain and Behavioral Research Jordi Camí1*, Alex Gomez-Marin2 and Luis M. Martínez3 1 Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona 2 Behavior of Organisms Laboratory, Instituto de Neurociencias CSIC-UMH, Alicante 3 Visual Analogy Laboratory, Instituto de Neurociencias CSIC-UMH, Alicante * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Cognitive scientists have paid very little attention to magic as a distinctly human activity capable of creating situations or events that are considered impossible because they violate expectations and conclude with the apparent transgression of well-established cognitive and natural laws. And even though magic techniques appeal to all known cognitive processes from sensing, attention and perception to memory and decision making, the relation between science and magic has so far been mostly unidirectional, with the primary goal of unraveling how magic works. Building up from the deconstruction of a classic magic trick, we provide here a cognitive foundation for the use of magic as a unique and largely untapped research tool to dissect cognitive processes in tasks arguably more natural than those usually exploited in artificial laboratory settings. Magicians can submerge every spectator into the precise experimental protocol they have previously designed, accounting with ease for both circumstantial and social contexts. Magicians do not base the success of their experiments in statistical measures that smear out the individual in favor of an average spectator that we know never exists in the real world.

  • God Incarnation and Metaphysics Article Draft
    God, Incarnation, and Metaphysics in Hegel’s Philosophy of Religion Paolo Diego Bubbio University of Sydney Article-draft, April 17, 2012. Please do not quote without permissions. Comments are warmly welcome: [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I draw upon the ‘post-Kantian’ reading of Hegel to examine the consequences Hegel’s idea of God has for understanding his metaphysics. In particular, I apply Hegel’s ‘recognition-theoretic’ approach to his theology. Within the context of this analysis, I focus especially on the incarnation and sacrifice of Christ. First, I claim that Hegel’s philosophy of religion employs a peculiar notion of sacrifice ( kenotic sacrifice). Here, sacrifice is conceived as a withdrawal , that is, as a ‘making room’ for the other. Second, I argue that the idea of kenotic sacrifice plays a fundamental role in Hegel’s account of Christ. Third, I conclude by sketching some of the consequences Hegel’s idea of a God who renounces his own divinity has for an idealistically conceived metaphysics. My main thesis is that Hegel’s turn to Christianity can be regarded as indicative of his endorsement of social and political freedoms that are characteristic of modernity. That is, modern freedoms are cognate with a certain idea of God. Thus, the notion of incarnation is conceived as the expression of a spirit that advances only insofar as it is willing to withdraw and make room for the other. Introduction Hegel scholarship in the Anglophone world has recently witnessed the establishment of new approaches that aim to show the relevance and topicality of a thought that, for a long time, was often considered one of the most abstract, or even lunatic, instances 1 of a philosophical school (Idealism) that was often regarded as incapable of offering any significant contribution to contemporary thought.

Im Fokus des Forschungsinteresses steht dabei die Frage, ob sich Immersion und Metafiktion von Grund auf ausschließen. In dieser Arbeit werden die benannten Begriffe mit geeigneter Fachliteratur genauer definiert und deren Wirkungen auf den Rezipienten beurteilt. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dieses Vorganges werden anhand der populär- kulturellen Fernsehlandschaft genauer analysiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit such einen Weg in dem Metafiktion und Immersion koexistieren können. Als Beispiel wird hier die amerikanische Serie „Community“ herangezogen und diese wird ex- pliziet auf deren Metaebenen und immersiven Potenzial untersucht. Es wird der metafiktive Charakter der Sendung anhand der Figur „Abed Nadir“ analysiert und deren Position innerhalb und außerhalb der Fiktion interpretiert.
