Neuroscience and Critique
NEUROSCIENCE AND CRITIQUE Recent years have seen a rapid growth in neuroscientific research, and an expansion beyond basic research to incorporate elements of the arts, humanities and social sciences. Some have suggested that the neurosciences will bring about major transformations in the understand- ing of our selves, our culture and our society. Ongoing debates within psychology, philoso- phy and literature about the implications of these developments within the neurosciences, and the emerging fields of educational neuroscience, neuroeconomics and neuro-aesthetics also bear witness to a “neurological turn” which is currently taking place. Neuroscience and Critique is a groundbreaking edited collection that reflects on the impact of neuroscience in contemporary social science and the humanities. It is the first book to consider possibilities for a critique of the theories, practices and implications of contemporary neuroscience. Bringing together leading scholars from several disciplines, the contributors draw upon a range of perspectives, including cognitive neuroscience, critical philosophy, psychoanalysis and feminism, and also critically examine several key ideas in contemporary neuroscience, including: • The idea of “neural personhood” • Theories of emotion in affective neuroscience • Empathy, intersubjectivity and the notion of “embodied simulation” • The concept of an “emo-rational” actor within neuroeconomics The volume will stimulate further debate in the emerging field of interdisciplinary studies in neuroscience and will appeal to researchers and advanced students in a number of disciplines, including psychology, philosophy and critical studies. Jan De Vos is a post-doctoral FWO Research Fellow at the Centre for Critical Philosophy at Ghent University, Belgium. His main research area is that of the neurological turn and its implications for ideology critique. -

Nixon. Keep Bleeding: Hemorrhagic Sores, Trade, and the Necessity of Leaky Boundaries in Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year This paper considers the way in which nonhuman contagious disease is crucial in shaping human subjectivity. To this end, this essay probes notions of two boundaries that are both political and personal—the border between the national subject and the international other, and the boundary between the self and all that lies outside of it—in a consideration of Daniel Defoe’s 1722 text, A Journal of the Plague Year. Operating from the notion that the personal is indeed political, this essay asserts that these two borders are largely intertwined, particularly when considering infectious diseases. By way of examining attitudes towards national and personal boundaries, this paper focuses in large part on Defoe’s representation of the eponymous buboes of the bubonic plague, juxtaposing and exploring his depiction of suppurated and calcified bubonic sores as metonymic signifiers of both personal and national boundaries that are transgressed or fortified, respectively. Examination of Defoe’s illustration of bubonic sores shows that Defoe depicted the Great Plague of 1665 in ways that I assert were thoroughly influenced by his conceptualization of international trade—a conceptualization which resisted the nationalistic xenophobia typical of his day and instead embraced a type of individualistic mercantilism. Defoe’s views on economics and trade, then, influenced his understanding of the Great Plague and cycled back to result in a view of man and nation that advocates permeable boundaries even in response to the hugely threatening potential of a complete breakdown of self- and nation-constituting borders. -

Library of Congress Collections Policy Statements: Psychology
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS COLLECTIONS POLICY STATEMENTS ±² Collections Policy Statement Index Psychology (Classes BF and Z7201-Z7204, with some Z8000s) Contents I. Scope II. Research strengths III. Collecting Policy IV. Acquisition Sources: Current and Future V. Collecting levels I. Scope The materials on psychology covered by this statement comprise physical collections in Class BF, with corresponding subject bibliographies in Z7201-7204, and also electronic, microform, manuscript or other formats of material whose subject areas would fall into these class designations. Bibliographies on individual psychologists, in the Z8000s, are also within the scope of this statement. Materials covering psychiatry are regarded as subsets of medicine, in various subclasses of R, since psychiatrists must first acquire M.D. degrees before specializing (see the Medicine Collections Policy Statement). Various topics outside the BF areas have psychological components and are classed within their own overall subject areas, e.g.: Religious Psychology (BL53 within Religion, BL); Educational Psychology (LB1051-1091 within Theory and Practice of Education, LB); Psychohistory (D16.16 within History [General], D); Psycholinguistics (P37 within Philology and Linguistics [General], P), Industrial Psychology (HF5548 within Business Administration, HF5001-6182). Works pertaining to the psychology of individual persons, ethnic groups, or classes of persons are cataloged within those overall subjects in the LC Classification scheme, but are given the topical subdivision “–Psychology” within the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) scheme; for example: “Abusive men—Psychology” (often HV6626 within Social Pathology, HV; or RC569.5.F3 within Neurology and psychiatry, RC321-571); “Actors—Psychology” (often PN2058 within Dramatic Representation: The Theater, PN2000-3307); “African Americans—Psychology” (E185.625 within History: American: African American, E184.5-185.98); or “Women—Psychology” (often HQ1206 within Women: Feminism, HQ1101-2030.7). -
Environment, Culture, and the Brain New Explorations in Neurohistory
Perspectives Environment, Culture, and the Brain New Explorations in Neurohistory Edited by EDMUND RUSSELL 2012 / 6 RCC Perspectives Environment, Culture, and the Brain New Explorations in Neurohistory Edited by Edmund Russell 2012 / 6 Environment, Culture, and the Brain 3 About the Authors Peter Becker teaches modern history at the University of Vienna. His main research interests are in the history of public administration, criminology, and policing. More recently he has embarked on a research project on the recurrence of biological think- ing in social research and social policy with a focus on the role of neurosciences in public discourse. Benedikt Berninger is an associate professor of physiological chemistry at the Johan- nes Gutenberg University Mainz. His research in neurobiology focuses on forcing fate conversion of somatic cells into neurons by a process called “reprogramming.” The essay “Causality and the Brain” in this volume was inspired by his interest in history and philosophy of history. Kirsten Brukamp is a research fellow in theoretical medicine at RWTH Aachen Uni- versity. She specializes in bioethics and neuroethics and holds degrees in medicine, philosophy, and cognitive science. Carlos Collado Seidel is a professor of modern and contemporary history at the Uni- versity of Marburg. His main research fields are comparative European history and the contemporary history of Spain. Together with Karin Meissner, he is currently working on a research project on neurological processes during decision-making in politics and diplomacy. Steve Fuller is Auguste Comte Professor of Social Epistemology in the Department of Sociology at the University of Warwick, UK. Originally trained in history and philosophy of science, he is closely associated with the field of “social epistemology,” which is also the name of a quarterly journal he founded in 1987. -
Violence on the Brain: a Critique of Neuroscience in Criminal Law
VIOLENCE ON THE BRAIN: A CRITIQUE OF NEUROSCIENCE IN CRIMINAL LAW Amanda C. Pustilnik* Is there such a thing as a criminally "violent brain"? Does it make sense to speak of "the neurobiology of violence" or the "psychopathology of crime"? Is it possible to answer on a physiological level what makes one person engage in criminal violence and another not, under similar circumstances? Current research in law and neuroscience is promising to answer these questions with a "yes." Some legal scholars working in this area claim that we are close to realizing the "early criminologists' dream of identifying the biological roots of criminality." These hopes for a neuroscientific transformation of the criminal law, although based in the newest research, are part of a very old story. Criminal law and neuroscience have been engaged in an ill-fated and sometimes tragic affair for over two hundred years. Three issues have recurred that track those that bedeviled earlierefforts to ground criminal law in brain sciences. First is the claim that the brain is often the most relevant or fundamental level at which to understand criminal conduct. Second is that the various phenomena we call "criminal violence" arise causally from dysfunction within specific locations in the brain ("localization"). Third is the related claim that, because much violent criminality arises from brain dysfunction, people who commit such acts are biologically different from typical people ("alterity"or "otherizing"). This Article first demonstrates parallels between certain current claims about the neurobiology of criminal violence and past movements that were concerned with the law and * Climenko Fellow & Lecturer on Law, Harvard Law School. -

Singphoniker”
New York Debut of German Vocal Ensemble “Singphoniker” Highlights Include a Tribute to the Legendary “Comedian Harmonists” of Weimer Germany In recent decades no other German vocal ensemble of its kind has enjoyed the success afforded to Singphoniker, which makes its New York debut at The Frick Collection on Sunday, February 7, 1999 at 5:00pm One of the most anticipated events in the 60th season of The Frick Collection’s Chamber Music Series, this program reveals the range of this talented group, featuring selections by Franz Schubert (1797 – 1828), Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856), Felix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847), as well as a set of songs called Berliner Requiem written by Bertoldt Brecht and set to music by popular composer Kurt Weill (1900 – 1950). Reflective of the rich social turmoil in Germany that followed World War I, Berliner Requiem was composed in 1928 and addresses in six selections a range of issues from the economic crisis to growing anti-Semitism. Particularly capturing the imagination of this “sold-out” audience is a tribute to the legendary Comedian Harmonists, the wildly popular vocal group that flourished in Germany before the Nazis forced them to disband in 1934. The original a cappella ensemble is the subject of a movie “Harmonists” that opened the Jewish Film Festival this month and was reviewed by Peter Gay in The New York Times on January 10, 1999. The Comedian Harmonists performed to adoring audiences in Weimar Germany, charming them with lyrics that provided “a clever mixture of schmalz and suggestiveness.” While the original Comedian Harmonists — a virtual cult phenomenon — left behind several treasured recordings of their music, this event at The Frick Collection offers Americans their first sense of what it was like to experience the group live. -
