  • A Meditation on Boredom
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UEL Research Repository at University of East London Running head: A MEDITATION ON BOREDOM A meditation on boredom: Re-appraising its value through introspective phenomenology Dr. Tim Lomas, University of East London, School of Psychology, [email protected] Note: This article may not exactly replicate the final version published in Psychology, Public Policy, and Law. It is not the copy of record. 2 Running head: A MEDITATION ON BOREDOM Abstract Boredom is almost universally regarded as a dysphoric mental state, characterised by features such as disengagement and low arousal. However, in certain quarters (e.g., Zen Buddhism), boredom is seen as potentially having great value and even importance. The current study sought to explore boredom through a case study involving introspective phenomenology. The author created conditions in which he would experience boredom for an hour, and recorded his experience in real-time using a variant of the Experiencing Sampling Method. The data were analysed using an adaptation of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The results indicated that the state of boredom contained three main sources of value: (a) altered perception of time; (b) awakened curiosity about the environment; and (c) exploration of self. Consequently, the paper offers a re-appraisal of boredom, suggesting that rather than necessarily being a negative state, if engaged with, boredom has the potential to be a positive and rewarding experience. Keywords: boredom; meditation; phenomenology; introspection; wellbeing. 3 Running head: A MEDITATION ON BOREDOM The problem of boredom Boredom is almost universally regarded as a negative mental state.

  • Clarifying Translanguaging and Deconstructing Named Languages: a Perspective from Linguistics
    Applied Linguistics Review 2015; 6(3): 281–307 Ricardo Otheguy*, Ofelia García and Wallis Reid Clarifying translanguaging and deconstructing named languages: A perspective from linguistics DOI 10.1515/applirev-2015-0014 Abstract: The concept of translanguaging is clarified, establishing it as a particular conception of the mental grammars and linguistic practices of bilinguals. Translanguaging is different from code switching. Under translanguaging, the mental grammars of bilinguals are structured but unitary collections of features, and the practices of bilinguals are acts of feature selection, not of grammar switch. A proper understanding of translanguaging requires a return to the well known but often forgotten idea that named languages are social, not linguistic, objects. Whereas the idiolect of a particular individual is a linguistic object defined in terms of lexical and structural features, the named language of a nation or social group is not; its boundaries and membership cannot be established on the basis of lexical and structural features. The two named languages of the bilingual exist only in the outsider’s view. From the insider’s perspective of the speaker, there is only his or her full idiolect or repertoire, which belongs only to the speaker, not to any named language. Translanguaging is the deployment of a speaker’sfull linguistic repertoire without regard for watchful adherence to the socially and politically defined boundaries of named (and usually national and state) languages. In schools, the translanguaging of bilinguals tends to be severely restricted. In addition, schools confuse the assessment of general linguistic proficiency, which is best manifested in bilinguals while translanguaging, with the testing of profi- ciency in a named language, which insists on inhibiting translanguaging.

  • 'Indie', Or Alternative, Are Band
    Exemplar for internal assessment resource Music for Achievement Standard 91425 When did it become so popular and how? The first ‘Indie’ bands which defined the genre ‘Indie’, or Alternative, are bands such as REM, The Smiths, Husker Du and Sonic Youth, These bands were commonly played in the United Kingdom and the United States during the 1980’s on various college radio stations. College radio stations played a huge part in the ‘Indie’ music scene. It was one of the only ways one could hear previously unknown or experimental music as a lot of it was not played on mainstream radio. For example, to this day 95bFM are a successful college driven radio station which have been around since 1969. It started as a pirate college radio station which broadcast from a boat in Auckland’s Waitemata harbour. These college radio stations effectively started the ‘Indie’ movement and scene, which created a huge devoted following. The development of the ‘Indie’ scene is also likely due to the number of subgenres which fit under the Alternative or ‘Indie’ genre, for example Shoegaze (commonly based around guitar effects and their ‘droning riffs’ and given the name due to guitarists looking at their feet whilst playing; this is due to guitar effects pedals and their non-confronting and introspective nature), Garage Punk (characterised by a dirty overdriven choppy guitar sound; not as politically driven as most Punk bands) and Grunge (originated in Seattle; commonly called the Seattle sound, it’s a fusion of Punk, Heavy Metal and Alternative music). You can see from the top selling albums throughout the 80’s until today that the volume of ‘Indie’ bands increased dramatically.

  • Introspective Classification with Convolutional Nets
    Introspective Classification with Convolutional Nets Long Jin Justin Lazarow Zhuowen Tu UC San Diego UC San Diego UC San Diego [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We propose introspective convolutional networks (ICN) that emphasize the im- portance of having convolutional neural networks empowered with generative capabilities. We employ a reclassification-by-synthesis algorithm to perform train- ing using a formulation stemmed from the Bayes theory. Our ICN tries to iteratively: (1) synthesize pseudo-negative samples; and (2) enhance itself by improving the classification. The single CNN classifier learned is at the same time generative — being able to directly synthesize new samples within its own discriminative model. We conduct experiments on benchmark datasets including MNIST, CIFAR- 10, and SVHN using state-of-the-art CNN architectures, and observe improved classification results. 1 Introduction Great success has been achieved in obtaining powerful discriminative classifiers via supervised training, such as decision trees [34], support vector machines [42], neural networks [23], boosting [7], and random forests [2]. However, recent studies reveal that even modern classifiers like deep convolutional neural networks [20] still make mistakes that look absurd to humans [11]. A common way to improve the classification performance is by using more data, in particular “hard examples”, to train the classifier. Different types of approaches have been proposed in the past including bootstrapping [31], active learning [37], semi-supervised learning [51], and data augmentation [20]. However, the approaches above utilize data samples that are either already present in the given training set, or additionally created by humans or separate algorithms.

  • 12 Reuter Intentions in Introspection
    The Importance of Intentions in Introspection Kevin Reuter 1. Introduction When it comes to the introspection of sensory states, two dominant views have emerged within the last few decades - process-based accounts and conceptual accounts. Whereas contemporary process-based theorists (e.g. Gertler, 2001; Goldman, 2006; Lycan, 1997) believe that some sort of introspective attention is necessary to have introspective access to one’s sensory states, conceptualists (e.g. Dretske, 1994; Rosenthal, 2000; Tye, 2000) believe that introspection of sensory states is primarily the entertaining of higher-order thoughts about these states. The latter usually add that these higher-order thoughts are formed not by conceiving of the way things are, but by conceiving of the way things appear. Tye claims that “if you are attending to how things look to you, as opposed to how they are independently of how they look, you are bringing to bear your faculty of introspection” (2000, 46). Rosenthal states that introspection “tells us only how things appear, not how they actually are” (2000, 237), and Dretske argues that in introspection “we are conceiving of how things seem” (1994, 266-7). What it means to conceive of how things appear, remains mostly unclear. More specifically, although appearance statements are probably the most common way for people to express their introspective awareness of sensory states, it is hardly ever discussed, which appearance statements count as introspective and which do not. Hence, conceptualists (but also process- based theorists) should be interested in drawing the correct boundary between appearance statements that are introspective and those that are not.

Degree awarded June 2016 ii © 2016 Chelsea Nicole Oden iii THESIS ABSTRACT Chelsea Nicole Oden Master of Arts School of Music and Dance June 2016 Title: Reflection and Introspection in the Film Scores of Thomas Newman The most transformative moments in life cause us to look both backward (reflection) and inward (introspection). Likewise, reflective and introspective moments in film often align with important plot points. Separating music and dialogue from the rhythms of the image, these moments suspend time, creating a distinct temporality for the character(s) and the viewer to observe the past and the present in juxtaposition. The music of film composer Thomas Newman brings to life some of the most beautiful reflective and introspective moments in cinema. In this thesis, I approach Newman’s understudied, but highly successful film scores from narrative, musical, and audiovisual perspectives.
