Existence, Contingency and Mourning in Cavell\u27s \u27Hamlet\u27
No full textShakespeare’s Hamlet has fascinated philosophers, from Hegel to Nietzsche, from Benjamin to Carl Schmitt, and more recently taken up in French thought by Derrida and Deleuze. It is the play that Freud sets as the modern correlate of his interpretation of Oedipus. Cavell’s short essay ‘Hamlet’s Burden of Proof’ is far less discussed than his other readings of Shakespeare’s plays such as ‘The Avoidance of Love in King Lear’ and “Othello and the Stake of the Other.” It centers on the implications to be drawn from the play within the play, performed “to catch the conscience of the King.
COVID-19 Dermatologic Manifestations: Issues More Than Skin-deep
No full textCutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 have become increasingly more reported. These dermatoses can either precede, accompany, or follow respiratory symptoms of COVID-19, and some have also been correlated with COVID-19 severity. Although COVID-19-related skin changes are relatively rare, there is an even greater paucity of such data in skin of colour. While research into the pathophysiology into this phenomenon is in its nascency, it is paramount to recognize the need for diversification, especially considering the racial disparities of COVID-19. The present discussion raises a deeper reflection of teaching and understanding dermatology of skin of colour in the medical profession. 
Racial Discrimination during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Mental Health of Young Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study of University Students from East Asian Backgrounds
No full textWith the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in mental health problems in the population worldwide. During the pandemic, individuals from East Asian backgrounds have been blamed for COVID-19 and faced xenophobic attacks, leading to increased incidents of racial discrimination. We administered an online survey to examine (a) associations between in-person and online racial discrimination and mental health (i.e., anxiety and depression) among East Asian university students (n=169) in Canada; and (b) the extent to which coping strategies and ethnic/cultural identity stage (e.g., exploration, resolution, affirmation) moderate the associations between discrimination and mental health. Results from hierarchical regressions indicated that experiencing online racial discrimination predicted more anxiety (b= .263, SE= .070, p< .001) and depression (b= .296, SE= .073, p< .001) symptoms. Using emotion-focused disengagement coping strategies predicted more anxiety (b= .705, SE= .129, p< .001) and depression (b= .763, SE= .127, p< .001). However, identity affirmation (i.e., positive feelings towards ethnic group) predicted less depression (b= -.533, SE= .245, p= .031). Results suggest that exposure to online racial discrimination during the pandemic has a negative effect on East Asian students’ well-being. However, positive feelings towards one’s ethnic identity may protect against mental health problems related to experiences of racial discrimination
