Remediating Orientation DISSERTATION Presented In Depth Technology: Remediating Orientation DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Peggy Eileen Reynolds Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Brian Rotman, Advisor Professor Philip Armstrong Professor Barry Shank Copyright by Peggy Eileen Reynolds 2012 Abstract According to sociologist Niklas Luhmann, "The 'blind spot' of each observation, the distinction it employs at the moment, is at the same time its guarantee of a world." To make a distinction, in other words, is to build a world, to establish a boundary, a bounded interior, a self. It is to orient oneself by separating inside from outside and to further the possibilities of one’s persistence by incorporating into this newly formed interior a sign or map of this initial distinction. Tracing the originary orienting gestures of the human and the form these take as sign or map then constitutes the central theme of this dissertation, one which opens onto an exploration of how the new digital economy contributes to the radical reflexivity which characterizes the current material- discursive milieu, even as, by expanding access to the virtual, it increases the potential for an immanent orientation of the human. My method, then, is to investigate the co-constitutive orientation strategies of the human and those forms and patterns which help it construct and distinguish itself from its material-discursive environment. Such forms as grids, circles, hierarchies, vortices, spirals, vortex rings and fractal structures are regarded as little machines; each works in and on the human in unique ways, and each has developed methods to insure its continued survival, collaborating with entities at various scales, including the human, ii to replicate its morphogenetic program. I argue that as the human shifts from a vision- centered to a body-centered model of perception, we should expect to see certain of these forms – static, bounded, Euclidian – being supplanted by those which convey something of the human’s newly legible reality – dynamic, non-linear, topological. The grid, for example, which, together with the human, laid out a spatial plane of thought, now becomes, in the new economy, a fractal network of links and nodes. The hierarchy, the dominant model for social relations (reified, as it is, by the mediating effects of stereoscopic vision), gives way to a flat ontology, or one in which all entities, regardless of scale or material-discursive status, are understood to construct equally the space of relations. And the dialectic, rightly employed by critical theorists to model time as neither circular nor linear but as a spiral, gains dimensionality and becomes, like a Klein bottle, a self-enfolding, topological manifold. An investigation into the geometric forms employed by the human in its originary orientation then forms the hinge, cardo, or cardinal points of this dissertation; the shift from a visual towards an affective rendering of spatiotemporal coordinates, its narrative unfolding; and a flat (fractal) ontology, its material-discursive milieu. iii This document is dedicated to my mother Sheila T. Reynolds and in loving memory of my father Paul G. Reynolds. iv Acknowledgments I would first like to thank my colleagues Dr. Sandra Garner, Dr. Kate Dean-Haidet and Rita Trimble, whose unflagging support over the years has made this dissertation possible.

Topping over one and a quarter million entries, a nearly three hundred percent increase from two decades prior, it also would appear as if researchers have been laying claim to this newly revealed territory at a ferocious pace. But where, exactly, is this new dimension to be found? Surveying the range of topics on which these articles report, one finds researchers mapping everything from “growth and gravity with robust redshift space distortions” and “surface plasmons on a single metallic nanoparticle” to the “discursive inquiry into the self.” Clearly, the computational revolution has played a role in the furtherance

Objectives: To examine the acute eects of dierent modes of dorsal penile nerve stimulation on detrusor hyperre¯exia, bladder capacity and bladder compliance in spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: Spinal Injuries Unit, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, Middlesex, UK. Methods: Fourteen SCI patients were examined. Microtip transducer catheters enabled continuous measurement of anal sphincter, urethral sphincter and intravesical pressures. Control cystometrograms were followed by stimulation of the dorsal penile nerve at 15 Hz, 200 ms pulse width and amplitude equal to twice that which produced a pudendo-anal re¯ex. Stimulation was either continuous or in bursts of one minute triggered by a rise in detrusor pressure of 10 cm water (conditional). Further control cystometrograms were then performed to examine the residual eects of stimulation. Results: Bladder capacity increased signi®cantly during three initial control ®lls. Continuous stimulation (n=6) signi®cantly increased bladder capacity by a mean of 110% (+Standard Deviation 85%) or 173 ml (+146 ml), and bladder compliance by a mean of 53% (+31%). Conditional stimulation in a dierent group of patients (n=6) signi®cantly increased bladder capacity, by 144% (+127%) or 230 ml (+143 ml).

  • Depopulation: on the Logic of Heidegger's Volk
    Research research in phenomenology 47 (2017) 297–330 in Phenomenology brill.com/rp Depopulation: On the Logic of Heidegger’s Volk Nicolai Krejberg Knudsen Aarhus University [email protected] Abstract This article provides a detailed analysis of the function of the notion of Volk in Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. At first glance, this term is an appeal to the revolutionary mass- es of the National Socialist revolution in a way that demarcates a distinction between the rootedness of the German People (capital “P”) and the rootlessness of the modern rabble (or people). But this distinction is not a sufficient explanation of Heidegger’s position, because Heidegger simultaneously seems to hold that even the Germans are characterized by a lack of identity. What is required is a further appropriation of the proper. My suggestion is that this logic of the Volk is not only useful for understanding Heidegger’s thought during the war, but also an indication of what happened after he lost faith in the National Socialist movement and thus had to make the lack of the People the basis of his thought. Keywords Heidegger – Nazism – Schwarze Hefte – Black Notebooks – Volk – people Introduction In § 74 of Sein und Zeit, Heidegger introduces the notorious term “the People” [das Volk]. For Heidegger, this term functions as the intersection between phi- losophy and politics and, consequently, it preoccupies him throughout the turbulent years from the National Socialist revolution in 1933 to the end of WWII in 1945. The shift from individual Dasein to the Dasein of the German People has often been noted as the very point at which Heidegger’s fundamen- tal ontology intersects with his disastrous political views.

  • Selective Neural Pathway Targeting Reveals Key Roles of Thalamostriatal Projection in the Control of Visual Discrimination

However, the roles of each striatal input pathway in these learning processes remain uncertain. We developed a novel strategy to target specific neural pathways and applied this strategy for studying behavioral roles of the pathway originating from the parafascicular nucleus (PF) and projecting to the dorso- lateral striatum. A highly efficient retrograde gene transfer vector encoding the recombinant immunotoxin (IT) receptor was injected into the dorsolateral striatum in mice to express the receptor in neurons innervating the striatum. IT treatment into the PF of the vector-injected animals caused a selective elimination of neurons of the PF-derived thalamostriatal pathway. The elimination of this pathway impaired the response selection accuracy and delayed the motor response in the acquisition of a visual cue-dependent discrim- ination task.

  • War in the Age of Intelligent Machines
    Introduction The image of the ''killer robot" once belonged uniquely to the world of science fiction. This is still so, of course, but only if one thinks of human­ like mechanical contraptions scheming to conquer the planet. The latest weapons systems planned by the Pentagon, however, offer a less anthropo­ morphic example of what machines with "predatory capabilities" might be like: pilotless aircraft and unmanned tanks "intelligent" enough to be able to select and destroy their own targets. Although the existing prototypes of robotic weapons, like the PROWLER or the BRAVE 3000, are not yet truly autonomous, these new weapons do demonstrate that even if Artificial Intel­ ligence is not at present sufficiently sophisticated to create true "killer robots,'' when synthetic intelligence does make its appearance on the planet, there will already be a predatory role awaiting it. The PROWLER, for example, is a small terrestrial armed vehicle, equipped with a primitive form of "machine vision" (the capability to ana­ lyze the contents of a video frame) that allows it to maneuver around a battlefield and distinguish friends from enemies. Or at least this is the aim of the robot's designers. In reality, the PROWLER still has difficulty negoti­ ating sharp turns or maneuvering over rough terrain, and it also has poor friend/foe recognition capabilities. For these reasons it has been deployed only for very simple tasks, such as patrolling a military installation along a predefined path. We do not know whether the PROWLER has ever opened fire on an intruder without human supervision, but it is doubtful that as currently designed this robot has been authorized to kill humans on its own.

Lynn Thorndike (1882 - 1965) had studied medieval history at Columbia and, after positions at two other universities, he was appointed to Columbia University in 1924 as Professor of History. At Columbia he held a seminar 'Studies in intellectual history of the closing medieval and early modern centuries' which Boyer attended and at this seminar he met Marjorie Duncan Nice. She was born in 1912 , the daughter of Leonard Blaine Nice, Professor of Physiology at the Chicago Medical School, and Margaret Morse Nice, an ornithologist. Marjorie and Carl were married on 29 June 1935 . They had four sons; Hugh ( born 6 February 1939) , Timothy ( born 20 March 1941) , Russell ( born 19 March 1944) and Kenneth ( born 30 June 1948) . Marjorie completed her Ph.D. in History at Columbia University in 1958 . She was an expert in travel, transportation and bridges in medieval France, publishing books such as Travel in Medieval France (1958) , Medieval Suspended Carriages (1959) , and Medieval French Bridges: A History (1976) . Charles Gillispie writes in [ 9 ] about how Boyer, in studying the history of mathematics, went against the prevailing attitudes at Columbia:- In addition to his work at Brooklyn College, Boyer was a Lecturer in Science at University College, Rutgers University, from 1935 to 1941 . In 1939 he was awarded his Ph.D. from Columbia University and, in the same year, he published his famous book The Concepts of the Calculus which was his doctoral thesis.

  • Between Heidegger and Derrida: on the Impossible Futures of Techne
    KIR KUIKEN Between Heidegger and Derrida: On the Impossible Futures of Techne This paper is not the first to interrogate the term “legacies” in the title of this conference, implying as it does the vast problems of inheritance, of debt and even of mourning. A conference on the “Legacies of Theory” necessarily provokes a meditation on the notion of “legacy” itself. What I do not wish to take issue with in this term is what is implied by the plural: “legacies.” If the concept of “legacy” implies inheritance, then there is the possibility of inheritance only where its contingencies are multiple, contested and even contradictory. This multiplicity is in fact the precondition of inheriting, its very chance or possibility. What I do want to contest, however, is a certain relation to time that the term “legacies” implies. At a moment when the term “post-theory” has entered the academic lexicon, and when books with titles such as Life After Theory (Derrida et al.)1 have begun to mark its retreat or displacement within the institution, the term “legacies” risks collusion with a discourse that seeks to extirpate any real encounter with its “legacy,” multiple, contested or otherwise. And if I might be permitted to replace the term “theory” with the term “deconstruction,” the problematic nature of the concept of “legacy” makes itself clearer. Insofar as the term “legacy” implies a certain “temporality of presence,” with a clear, single, undivided border 1 The book contains an interview with Derrida, who addresses the question of “what comes after” theory very differently than the other contributors.

  • Media Ecologies: Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture, Matthew Fuller, 2005 Media Ecologies
    M796883front.qxd 8/1/05 11:15 AM Page 1 Media Ecologies Media Ecologies Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture Matthew Fuller In Media Ecologies, Matthew Fuller asks what happens when media systems interact. Complex objects such as media systems—understood here as processes, or ele- ments in a composition as much as “things”—have become informational as much as physical, but without losing any of their fundamental materiality. Fuller looks at this multi- plicitous materiality—how it can be sensed, made use of, and how it makes other possibilities tangible. He investi- gates the ways the different qualities in media systems can be said to mix and interrelate, and, as he writes, “to produce patterns, dangers, and potentials.” Fuller draws on texts by Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, as well as writings by Friedrich Nietzsche, Marshall McLuhan, Donna Haraway, Friedrich Kittler, and others, to define and extend the idea of “media ecology.” Arguing that the only way to find out about what happens new media/technology when media systems interact is to carry out such interac- tions, Fuller traces a series of media ecologies—“taking every path in a labyrinth simultaneously,” as he describes one chapter. He looks at contemporary London-based pirate radio and its interweaving of high- and low-tech “Media Ecologies offers an exciting first map of the mutational body of media systems; the “medial will to power” illustrated by analog and digital media technologies. Fuller rethinks the generation and “the camera that ate itself”; how, as seen in a range of interaction of media by connecting the ethical and aesthetic dimensions compelling interpretations of new media works, the capac- of perception.” ities and behaviors of media objects are affected when —Luciana Parisi, Leader, MA Program in Cybernetic Culture, University of they are in “abnormal” relationships with other objects; East London and each step in a sequence of Web pages, Cctv—world wide watch, that encourages viewers to report crimes seen Media Ecologies via webcams.
