Aerobic Exercise As A Pioneer Treatment For Post-Concussion Patients, Neha Bhandari
D.U.Quark
Concussions are highly prevalent injuries in both youth and adult sports and can severely impact daily functions by impairing mental and physical health. Existing treatments, such as resting, have been found to be ineffective in promoting a faster recovery. They often lead to a decline in mental health, which can exacerbate ongoing symptoms. However, aerobic exercise is an emerging field that has the potential to make concussion recovery more effective. This literature review will explore the effectiveness of aerobic exercise on faster recovery rates, return to play, and its impact at the cellular level for concussion patients. In addition, it …
Epigenetics And Cancer: Mechanisms, Diagnostics, And Treatment, Sophie Kopyar
Epigenetics And Cancer: Mechanisms, Diagnostics, And Treatment, Sophie Kopyar
D.U.Quark
Epigenetics connects the divide between genotype and phenotype without completely altering the genome. Modifications to certain genes can affect cell functions and produce diseased phenotypes, such as cancer. In some forms of cancer, epigenetic changes cause the cell to irregularly reproduce, avoid immunological responses, and operate under unsuitable conditions. This review explores the epigenetic changes that can occur to produce an oxygen deficient, hypoxically functioning environment that increases cancer vitality. More specifically, this review will focus on epigenetic alterations to HIF and p53 genes and briefly cover other genes that can be affected in cancerous cells. This review found there …
Dancing With 4e Cognitive Science And Human Science Psychology, Joshua Hall
Dancing With 4e Cognitive Science And Human Science Psychology, Joshua Hall
Middle Voices
According to the “Embodied Cognition” entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the three landmark texts in the 4E cognitive science tradition are Lakoff and Johnson’s Metaphors We Live By, Varela, Thompson, and Rosch’s The Embodied Mind, and Andy Clark’s Being There. In my first section, I offer a phenomenological interpretation of these three texts, identifying recuring affirmations of the figure of dance alongside explicit marginalization of the practice of dance, perhaps in part due to cognitive science’s overemphasis on cognition to the exclusion of affect. In my second section, drawing on my previous interpretations of proto-affect theorists …
When “There Is” A Black: Levinas And Fanon On Ethics, Politics, And Responsibility, Leswin Laubscher
When “There Is” A Black: Levinas And Fanon On Ethics, Politics, And Responsibility, Leswin Laubscher
Middle Voices
This paper examines some of the ways in which the Black other, by Frantz Fanon’s articulation, complicates and challenges Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophies of ethics and justice. Additionally, it brings Levinas’s notion of the il y a, or “there is,” and Fanon’s “zone of nonbeing” into critical conversation with respect to the body and being of the Black other.
Emannuel Levinas, Fr. William Richardson, And The Return Of The Irresponsible Subject, Robert Manning
Emannuel Levinas, Fr. William Richardson, And The Return Of The Irresponsible Subject, Robert Manning
Middle Voices
This article revisits the famous encounter between Levinas and William Richardson to discuss the subject's ability to return to itself despite Levinas's arguments to the the contrary in OTB.
Ethics Of Interaction: Levinas And Enactivism On Affectivity, Responsibility, And Signification, Edward A. Lenzo
Ethics Of Interaction: Levinas And Enactivism On Affectivity, Responsibility, And Signification, Edward A. Lenzo
Middle Voices
In recent years, there have been a number of attempts to connect enactivism with the work of Emmanuel Levinas. This essay is such an attempt. Its major theme is the relationship between affectivity and ethics. My touchstones in enactivist thought are Giovanna Colombetti and Steve Torrances’ “Emotion and Ethics: an (inter-)enactive account” (2009) and the influential concept of participatory sense-making developed by Hanne De Jaegher and Ezequiel Di Paolo (2007). With respect to Levinas, I deploy major insights from Totality and Infinity and Otherwise than Being. I first show that enactivist thought (thus represented) and Levinas roughly agree on …
Revealing Levinas: Transcending Moral And Aesthetic Distinctions Between Form And Content Through Poetic Gamespersonship, Lori E. Koelsch, Alex Kranjec
Revealing Levinas: Transcending Moral And Aesthetic Distinctions Between Form And Content Through Poetic Gamespersonship, Lori E. Koelsch, Alex Kranjec
Middle Voices
This poem was inspired by the confluence of two communications: An email regarding proposed changes to university workload policies, and a call for papers for a journal’s special issue on the work of Emmanuel Levinas. We used poetic form to reflect figuratively on academic integrity and what counts literally as good Levinas scholarship.
Ethics In The Breakdown: Levinas, Winnicott, And Schizoid Phenomena, Matthew J. Devine
Ethics In The Breakdown: Levinas, Winnicott, And Schizoid Phenomena, Matthew J. Devine
Middle Voices
This article addresses the common concern that Emmanuel Levinas’ ethics amounts to a life-denying, moral masochism. To the contrary, I demonstrate close resonances between Levinas’ project and that of the psychoanalyst D.W. Winnicott, for whom the purpose of therapy is to feel alive. In the first section, I trace the Levinasian subject’s coming to be out of the impersonal Il y a. Exploiting the object-relations undertones, I emphasize that the Levinasian subject comes to be as fastened, riveted, or bound to existence, and thereafter seeks to loosen its bond to its existence. In the second section, I discuss Winnicott’s …
King, Levinas And The Interruption Of Love: The Alchemy Of The Fire Fable, Claire S. Lebeau, Kaleb Sinclair
King, Levinas And The Interruption Of Love: The Alchemy Of The Fire Fable, Claire S. Lebeau, Kaleb Sinclair
Middle Voices
Levinas begins Totality and Infinity with a haunting allusion from the 19th century French poet Arthur Rimbaud, “though the true life is absent”, we are in the world. This lamentation is a fitting beginning for his exposition of a radical reformulation of an Ethics that precedes all thought, language, or systematic attempts to cast morality as a Truth. Similarly, Martin Luther King Jr. presented a lamentation for a dream of a world where the transcendence of race, creed, or classification of any kind could allow children to grow up to be first ethical human beings in relation to one …
