Unbelonging:The experience of being-in-society whilst living with ‘frozen shoulder’
Get PDFThis Auto-phenomenology (hermeneutic) account seeks to explore the author’s first-person experiences of a discrete phenomenon; the experience of shoulder pain and restricted range of movement. I aim to move away from modernist biomedical descriptions and instead, reclaim my existential experience. Taking a lifeworld perspective, I explore the meaning of the world as I subjectively experienced it whilst living with ‘frozen shoulder’. I reflect on how a change in my shoulder movement changed my movement in time and space and my sense of being-in-society. Drawing on the work of Talcott Parsons, Susan Sontag, Elaine Scarry and Arthur Frank, I reflect on my sense of unbelonging in relation to the sick role; how my explanations were delegitimized and my search for a socially accepted diagnosis; being a physiotherapist and my changing sense of self and identity. I ask how honouring knowledge from qualitative, post-qualitative research and sociology might offer an otherwise physiotherapy which engenders embodied relational understanding

Art as a Deterritorialising Vehicle for a Nomadic Physiotherapy
Get PDFThis chapter proposes the need for redefined, transdisciplinary approaches to art and health education and research. We question Physiotherapy education which continues to privilege biomedical knowledge and marginalises cultural, philosophical and sociological perspectives. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari, we propose a nomadic practice and advocate education, practice and research that creates lines of flight which break through the control of discipline, context or methodology and consequent outcomes.We explore how transdisciplinary education can use the creative approaches of art to create a counterculture that draws on aspects of new materialism to consider how art can offer opportunities to explore movement and non- interactions. We illuminate what this might make possible within physiotherapy and advocate moving towards a nomadic therapeutic practice that is becoming.The chapter recognises how emerging transdisciplinary research can prioritise approaches that embrace the unexpected and highlight examples of the human and non-human as co-generators of knowledge. In advocating creative process as an alternative to territorialized physiotherapy practices enclosed within disciplinary criteria, we suggest communicable forms of knowledge in new, more productive forms. <br/

Bartholomew Tardiveau letter to Arthur St. Clair, June 30, 1789
No full textThis letter written by B. Cardiveau to Arthur St. Clair in June 1789 argues that slaves from the Southern states should be allowed to continue their servitude in the Northwest Territory even though slavery was outlawed by the Northwest Ordinance. Cardiveau predicts that if slaves are not allowed to be kept in the territory, southerners will not settle north of the Ohio River, and the area "will infallibly remain for a long time in a state of infancy." Cardiveau also suggests that slavery could be completely repealed if and when Ohio became a state and the citizens had a right to decide for themselves. The seven-page letter measures 9" by 13" (10 by 32 cm) and is part of a larger collection of Arthur St. Clair letters that is owned by the State Library of Ohio and on permanent deposit at the Ohio History Connection.
Arthur St. Clair (1734-1818) was governor of the Northwest Territory and administrator of Indian affairs for the western territories from 1787 to 1802. St. Clair led an army against a large alliance of American Indians, led by Shawnee chief Weyapiersenwah (Blue Jacket) and Miami chief Mishikinakwa (Little Turtle), who threatened war after their land was given to the U. S. government without their authorization, in November 1791. St. Clair suffered a disastrous defeat, losing half of his men. In response, President George Washington appointed General Anthony Wayne to defeat the region's American Indian tribes, which he did in 1794 at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. St. Clair also had many disagreements with the territorial legislature. He supported the division of the territory into different states that would be admitted separately to the Union despite the opposition of members of the legislature, including Thomas Worthington, who wished to hasten Ohio's admission for statehood. In 1802, Worthington and others asked President Thomas Jefferson to dismiss St. Clair from office, which he did on November 22, thus clearing the way for the legislature to begin drafting Ohio's constitution. St. Clair retired to his home in Lingonier, Pennsylvania, and died there in 1818

The biomechanical and analgesic effects of lumbar mobilisations
Get PDFA common treatment used by physiotherapists for patients with low back pain (LBP) is mobilisations. The aim of applying mobilisations is to increase range of movement (ROM) and reduce pain and stiffness. Therapists choose a specific dose of mobilisation for each patient, which includes a decision on the duration of applied force, commonly up to 3 minutes. Little research has been done to determine the biomechanical and analgesic effects of different durations of treatment. There is tentative evidence that increased duration beyond 3 minutes leads to an increase in range of movement and decrease in pain. This research set out to establish the biomechanical and analgesic effects of longer durations of lumbar mobilisations than commonly used in clinical practice. Only the immediate effects of a single treatment dose have been assessed to date
La dimension axiologique des extensions semantiques de "clair" et "sombre"
Get PDFAmong the many linguistic means that enable us to express axiological judgement there are
extended senses of different lexemes. The present paper deals with the axiological charges of such
senses of French lexemes clair (clear) and sombre (dark) and their derivatives. While many examples
show that the clair — sombre opposition coincides with the axiological opposition positive — negative,
it is possible to find the reverse valuation, especially in the domain of auditory perception.
Adopting the Cognitive Linguistics perspective, the author outlines the main postulates of axiological
semantics (e.g. Krzeszowski, 1997, 1999) and its criticism (e.g. Hampe, 2005). After a brief
presentation of the general tendency that concerns the axiological charge of clair — sombre in the
domain of intellect, morality, and emotions, the author focuses on the axiological dimension of the
extended senses of the two lexemes in auditory domain. The central question that is asked in the
course of the analysis is the motivation behind this kind of axiological valuation
