The New Paradigm
No full textPreface to the book 'Fragmentation of the Photographic Image in the Digital Age'.
This book is about the formation of a discourse on images that has been waiting in the wings for some time. A wider context for the emergence of this discourse is the crumbling of a system of thought that is called metaphysics. That this linear and historical model of comprehending the world is being replaced by a new paradigm ushered in by a constellation of accelerated developments that can be variously described as ‘algorithmic’, ‘ecological’, ‘new-materialist’, ‘fragmented’ and ‘holistic’ is generally recognized. What is less well understood is how this departure from the representational discourse affects the photographic image. A belief still lingers in the ability of the photograph to represent people, events and situations, in its power to aid recognition, memory, description and archiving, as if these powers can be retained independently from the new discursive practices that are driven by algorithmic, neurological and quantum models
Graven images: photography after Heidegger, Lyotard and Deleuze
No full textThis chapter connects Heidegger’s critique of identity and metaphysics with his later work on the question of technology to propose that photography, understood as an image making technology, provides a privileged point of entry into the question of ontological difference. The work of Lyotard and Deleuze, while not directly engaging with photography, seems to be pointing in this direction. My assertion is that the ‘step back’ out of metaphysics does not proceed by way of language (as Heidegger would have it) but by the way of the technical image. For this reason, photography is the visual counterpart of non-representational thinking. This paper argues that Heidegger’s inability to exit metaphysics is tied to his failure to recognise that such a leap is accomplished by means of an automata, or technology that is capable of mimetic expression. The understanding of photography as the poetic expression of techne, implies that photography is the ‘graven image’ of the age of cybernetics and allows to suggest that a leap out of metaphysics is best performed not in the field of language but in the space of the technical image. This leap, if successful, might open a path towards philosophy that works with technical images instead, or alongside of language
From temporal to concessive meanings: a semantic analysis of \u27still\u27
No full textWe develop a new proposal about the historical connection between the durative and concessive readings of English still and Hebrew ʕadain, a connection that shows striking parallels in the two languages. Building on a corpus study of Hebrew (Rubinstein forthcoming), we argue that durative \u27still\u27 precedes the concessive \u27still\u27 and that the latter first arises in bridging contexts (and earlier than previously thought). In contrast to previous literature, our proposal places the temporal-to-concessive development squarely in the semantics. We argue that concessive \u27still\u27 emerges when an originally durative \u27still\u27 gets "infected" with a concessive meaning that is expressed explicitly in the rest of the sentence
A Congenital Glaucoma Case with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome
No full textTo evaluate systemic/eye manifestations and treatment modalities in a case of Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) with
bilateral congenital glaucoma and structural eye anomalies. Eight-month-old infant with RTS presented to our clinic with
bilateral epiphora and corneal haze in one eye. In ophthalmologic examination, bilateral congenital glaucoma and epiblepharon
were found. Medical and surgical treatments of congenital glaucoma were performed. Abnormal eye findings
are commonly seen in RTS cases, therefore, ophthalmologic examinations and treatment modalities should be done with
caution. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2011; 41: 260-3
On risk aversion in the Rubinstein bargaining game
No full textWe derive closed-form solutions for the Rubinstein alternating offers game for cases where the two players have (possibly asymmetric) utility functions that belong to the HARA class and discount the future at a constant rate. We show that risk aversion may increase a bargainers payoff. This result - which contradicts Roth’s 1985 theorem tying greater risk neutrality to a smaller payoff - does not rely on imperfect information or departures from expected utility maximization
Somatic and Germ-Line Mosaicism in Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome
No full textRubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease and is characterized by mental retardation, distinctive facial features, broad and often angulated thumbs and great toes, short stature, and growth retardation. CREBBP and EP300 are the only genes currently known to be associated with RSTS. Mutations in CREBBP and EP 300 were identified in approximately 50% and 3% of RSTS patients, respectively. To date, most of CREBBP mutations were de novo mutations and the recurrence rate in a family was low. Families with more than one affected child are extremely rare. In this study, we have shown a family with two affected siblings; the same mutation was found in both siblings. However, the mutation was not found in the blood or saliva DNA samples from the parents , suggesting the mechanism of germ-line mosaicism. In addition, we identified low-level mosaicism of a CREBBP mutation in the father from a second family with one affected child. Among the three analyzed tissue samples from the father, low-level mosaicism is present only significantly in the blood sample. We hypothesize mutations in CREBBP in these two families occur in the postzygotic stage in one of the parents (one generation ahead) of the affected individual. Additional family studies are required to determine how common somatic and/or gonadal mosaicism is present in RSTS patients
