How Are Emotions Affected by MDMA and Why Can It Cause Long Term Change to the Personality? Michal Kováč1 How are emotions affected by MDMA and why can it cause long term change to the personality? Michal Kováč1 Abstract This paper investigates what emotions typically emerge during a 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) experience, if and how MDMA affects personality and whether and how are the experience and the personality change linked. To answer these questions a focused literature research was conducted, and the findings were used to assemble models of both immediate MDMA effects on emotions and MDMA induced personality change. We have used Parrott's emotion theory as the theory of emotions and Big Five as the theory of personality. We found that out of the primary emotions of Parrott's emotion theory MDMA causes emotions of love, joy and surprise to emerge. An increase in Big Five personality traits of openness and extroversion and decrease in trait of neuroticism are the typical MDMA induced personality changes. Based on research investigating the therapeutic MDMA potential the emotional experience seems to be one of the key factors in the MDMA induced personality change. We hypothesize that in particular positive emotions, euphoria, decreased fear and increased empathy play a key role in the mood, attitude and personality change. Keywords: MDMA, emotion, personality, model 1 Introduction Psychedelic renaissance is currently happening in the based on its chemical structure and also some of its scientific world in the fields of psychology, effects it seems to fit into the class of stimulants neuroscience and cognitive science (Bouso, Santos, (Peroutka, 1990, p. 105). However, these effects (e.g., Alcázar-Córcoles, & Hallak, 2018). A substantial part increased energy, decreased appetite, decreased of this renaissance is a drug chemically known as feeling of tiredness) are not what makes MDMA 3,4‑Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or special in the light of therapeutic potential neither in informally ecstasy (Sessa, 2018). In the last two the eyes of its users (Peroutka, 1990, p. 105). Other decades a lot of research has been conducted mainly traditional class of drugs into which MDMA seems to concerning possible therapeutic uses of MDMA but fit are psychedelics (Peroutka, 1990, p. 105). Indeed, also its effects in general. Combined with research MDMA can cause effects typical for psychedelics conducted before year 1985 when MDMA was like hallucinations, altered sense of time and in banned it creates a large number of fragmented general altered perception of the world (Greer & findings. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the Tolbert, 1986). Because of that some categorize it as current state of the art of MDMA research focused stimulant-psychedelic hybrid (Roseman, Leech, mainly on emotion and personality aspects and to Feilding, Nutt, & Carhart-Harris, 2014). However, provide its overview by assembling corresponding this does not capture the characteristic and unique scientific models. As a part of this effort a hypothesis effects of MDMA that include increased feeling of of how these two subdomains are linked was formed. love, empathy and connectedness to others (i.e. entactogenic effects) (Peroutka, 1990, p. 52). Because Despite being part of the psychedelic renaissance, of these unique effects, clearly distinguishable by the MDMA as a drug is hard to classify. At a first glance 1 Michal Kováč is from the Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria, on a mobility from the Department of Applied Informatics, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia.

Despite of that, research of psychedelics can as a supporting evidence. Mainly publications from and has been used for modeling of some of MDMA the domain of behavioral and cognitive psychology effects that seem to be responsible for change in were picked since that is the point of view this paper emotions, mood, attitude and personality (Wagner et set out to map.

In the end we the current era when MDMA research is mainly have decided for categorical type because in most focused on the therapeutic potential.

  • Ecstatic Melancholic: Ambivalence, Electronic Music and Social Change Around the Fall of the Berlin Wall
    Ecstatic Melancholic: Ambivalence, Electronic Music and Social Change around the Fall of the Berlin Wall Ben Gook The Cold War’s end infused electronic music in Berlin after 1989 with an ecstatic intensity. Enthused communities came together to live out that energy and experiment in conditions informed by past suffering and hope for the future. This techno-scene became an ‘intimate public’ (Berlant) within an emergent ‘structure of feeling’ (Williams). Techno parties held out a promise of freedom while Germany’s re-unification quickly broke into disputes and mutual suspicion. Tracing the historical movement during the first years of re-unified Germany, this article adds to accounts of ecstasy by considering it in conjunction with melancholy, arguing for an ambivalent description of ecstatic experience – and of emotional life more broadly. Keywords: German re-unification, electronic dance music, structure of feeling, intimate publics, ambivalence. Everybody was happy Ecstasy shining down on me ... I’m raving, I’m raving But do I really feel the way I feel?1 In Germany around 1989, techno music coursed through a population already energised by the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The years 1989 and 1990 were optimistic for many in Germany and elsewhere. The Cold War’s end heralded a conclusion to various deadlocks. Young Germans acutely felt this release from stasis and rushed to the techno-scene.2 Similar scenes also flourished in neighbouring European countries, the United States and Britain around the 1 ‘Raving I’m Raving,’ Shut up and Dance (UK: Shut Up and Dance Records, 1992), vinyl.

  • On Mourning Sickness
    Missed Revolutions, Non-Revolutions, Revolutions to Come: On Mourning Sickness An Encounter with: Rebecca Comay. Mourning Sickness: Hegel and the French Revolution. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2011. 224 pages. REBECCA COMAY in Conversation with JOSHUA NICHOLS Rebecca Comay’s new book Mourning Sickness sets its sights on Hegel’s response to the French Revolutionary Terror. In this respect it provides the reader with both a detailed examination of Hegel’s interpretation of the Terror and the historical and philosophical context of this interpretation. In and of itself this would be a valuable contribution to the history of philosophy in general and Hegel studies in particular, but Comay’s book extends beyond the confines of a historical study. It explores Hegel’s struggle with the meaning of the Terror and, as such, it explores the general relationship between event and meaning. By doing so this book forcefully draws Hegel into present-day discussions of politics, violence, trauma, witness, and memory. The following interview took place via email correspondence. The overall aim is twofold: to introduce the main themes of the book and to touch on some of its contemporary implications. JOSHUA NICHOLS: This text accomplishes the rare feat of revisiting what is, in many respects, familiar and well-worn philosophical terrain (i.e., Hegel’s Phenomenology) and brings the reader to see the text from a new angle, under a different light, almost as if for the first time. PhaenEx 7, no. 1 (spring/summer 2012): 309-346 © 2012 Rebecca Comay and Joshua Nichols - 310 - PhaenEx Your reading of Hegel’s notion of forgiveness as being “as hyperbolic as anything in Derrida, as asymmetrical as anything in Levinas, as disastrous as anything in Blanchot, as paradoxical as anything in Kierkegaard” is just one example of the surprising interpretive possibilities that this text opens (Comay, Mourning Sickness 135).

MALADAPTIVE GRIEF: IRISH AND AMERICAN EXPERIENCES OF LOSS, MOURNING, AND TRAUMA by ABIGAIL HEY (Under the Direction of Dustin Anderson) ABSTRACT Literature that responds to loss and expresses mourning, a genre referred to as the elegy, traditionally follows an adaptive pattern in which a mourner reaches consolation and comfort. In themodern period, however, mourning transformed into destructive experiences that were notably private. With this phenomenon of greater social and emotional isolation, writers like Sylvia Plath, Samuel Beckett, and Elizabeth Bishop expressed rumination and irresolution. In contrast, before the twentieth century, elegies were not only more consolatory, but there was a greater emphasis on shared feeling, and this communal type of mourning is more often adaptive. By grieving together in the same physical location, by fostering a community of grief, and by practicing empathy with another human being, sentimental grief was more resolved.

North, Chair “Modern Sentimentalism” chronicles the myriad ways in which sentimentalism evolves as modernism emerges. I demonstrate that sentimental aesthetics are more complex than we have thought and that these aesthetics participate in modern literary innovation. I likewise demonstrate that modernity, and the American interwar period in particular, enjoys a more complex relation to the sentimental than we have understood, and that twentieth-century constructs of gender and emotion equally revise and restyle sentimental precedent. Finally, I demonstrate that, when it comes to analyzing historical cultures of feeling, contemporary theories of affect have much to gain from archival methods. Synthesizing these claims, I identify a new form of feeling in modern aesthetic experience. Neither an idealized lapse into the past nor a naïve vision of the future, what I call “modern sentimentalism” most often registers the ironic consciousness of an enduring sentimental impulse. ii “Modern Sentimentalism” thus overturns
