Truth, purification and power: Foucault's genealogy of purity and impurity in and after The Will to Know lectures
No full textFoucault’s 1970–71 lectures at the Collège de France, The Will to Know, highlight the significance of themes of purity and impurity in Western thought. Reflecting on these themes coincided with the emergence of Foucault’s theory of power. This article presents the first analysis of Foucault’s investigation of purity and impurity in The Will to Know lectures, identifying the distinctive theory Foucault offers of purity as a discursive apparatus addressing correspondence between the subject and the truth through the image of relative integrity or mixture. It then traces Foucault’s subsequent reflections on these themes in his later writings on disciplinary power. The implications of Foucault’s position are considered; the article will close by putting Foucault’s ideas in dialogue with those of Kristeva, and in considering the role that purity and impurity may play in resistance
Economic and Theological Approaches to Debt Cancellation
No full textDifferences in economic and theological approaches to debt cancellation result from differences in disciplinary assumptions in respect of purpose, method, and argument. We argue that they provide alternative commentaries upon the need for debt cancellation, but that it is not possible to demonstrate the superiority of one over the other, so practitioners in one are likely to continue to find it difficult to respond meaningfully to arguments from the other.debt cancellation, conditionality, theology

Comorbid reproductive endocrine dysfunction is particularly prevalent in temporal lobe epilepsy, which is the most common form of focal epilepsy in adults. Previous work has shown that the intrahippocampal kainic acid mouse model (IHKA) of temporal lobe epilepsy recapitulates the disrupted reproductive cycle sometimes seen in clinical settings. Follow-up studies found that increased GnRH neuron firing activity was specific to IHKA females with long or disrupted cycles (KA-long) and was not present in IHKA females maintaining regular cycles (KA-regular). Throughout the initial chapters of this dissertation, potential causes of altered GnRH neuron firing activity were investigated. Initial studies showed a glutamate-dependent increase in excitatory GABA transmission to GnRH neurons in KA-long but not KA-regular females, indicating that the increased transmission was specific to those females with both epilepsy and comorbid cycle disruption. Later work investigated kisspeptin neurons in the anteroventral periventricular region (AVPVKiss) as a potential source of altered GABA transmission to GnRH neurons. Preliminary results showed that AVPVKiss neuron firing activity is increased in IHKA females. A final study took a different approach and aimed to distinguish between KA-long and KA-regular females using hippocampal EEG data as opposed to the patch clamp recordings used in earlier studies. Here, it was found that modern machine learning methods can differentiate between females with and without comorbid reproductive cycle disruption with a high degree of accuracy. Surprisingly, investigation of the model’s preferred metrics showed that measures related to EEG waveforms were more predictive than seizure burden, time of day, or estrous cycle stage
Tres Olas de Globalizacion: historia de una conciencia global (Alianz Enxayo) / Three Waves of Globalization: history of a global conscience (Spanish Edition)
No full text[Spanish] El concepto de globalización se considera algo bastante moderno pero según el autor de este libro, no es así. De hecho la humanidad ha experimentado tres diferentes oleadas de globalización en los últimos cinco siglos. Robbie Robertson hace una reinterpretación de la historia de la humanidad como un proceso de globalización creciente, que se ha acelerado en los últimos cinco siglos. Cada una de ellas ha cambiado el contexto en el que viven los humanos y la forma en que se ven a sí mismos y al mundo. En concreto, ha hecho posible el desarrollo de una conciencia global. Pero todavía es una conciencia débil y vulnerable y para entender la importancia de una conciencia global hay que contextualizar la globalización históricamente. Y eso es lo que hace el autor de este libro. Sobre todo conocer qué problemas internacionales, guerras o crisis económicas ha provocado cada ola de globalización y aprender las lecciones de la historia para analizar si la actual ola de globalización podría conducir en la misma dirección.
[English] The concept of globalization is considered quite modern but as the author of this book, it is not. In fact, humanity has experienced three distinct waves of globalization in the last five centuries. Robbie Robertson makes a reinterpretation of history as a process of increasing globalization, which has accelerated over the past five centuries. Each of them has changed the context in which humans live and how they view themselves and the world. Specifically, it has made possible the development of a global consciousness. But awareness is still weak and vulnerable and to understand the importance of global awareness should be historically contextualize globalization. And that is what the author of this book. Especially knowing what international problems, wars or economic crises caused each wave of globalization and learning the lessons of history to analyze whether the current wave of globalization could result in the same direction

The Savage and Modern Self: North American Indians in Eighteenth-Century British Literature and Culture
No full textThe Savage and Modern Self examines the representations of North American "Indians" in novels, poetry, plays, and material culture from eighteenth-century Britain. Author Robbie Richardson argues that depictions of "Indians" in British literature were used to critique and articulate evolving ideas about consumerism, colonialism, "Britishness," and, ultimately, the "modern self" over the course of the century. Considering the ways in which British writers represented contact between Britons and "Indians," both at home and abroad, the author shows how these sites of contact moved from a self-affirmation of British authority earlier in the century, to a mutual corruption, to a desire to appropriate perceived traits of "Indianess." Looking at texts exclusively produced in Britain, The Savage and Modern Self reveals that "the modern" finds definition through imagined scenes of cultural contact. By the end of the century, Richardson concludes, the hybrid Indian-Brition emerging in literature and visual culture exemplifies a form of modern, British masculinity
