'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story
Barbara Ehrenreich: Blood Rites: A New Evolutionary Perspective on Violence
No full textBarbara Ehrenreich, author, social critic and political essayist, discusses the emotional and social aspects of warfare and violence.
Barbara Ehrenreich is an American author and political activist who describes herself as a myth buster by trade” and has been called a veteran muckraker by The New Yorker.During the 1980s and early 1990s she was a prominent figure in the Democratic Socialists of America. She is a widely read and award-winning columnist and essayist, and author of 21 books. Ehrenreich is perhaps best known for her 2001 book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
Barbara Dicker Oration 2018 - The phenomenon of hallucinations
No full textThe 2018 Barbara Dicker Oration was presented by Professor Iris Sommer on 13 September 2018. Professor Sommer is a best-selling author and Professor of Cognitive Aspects of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorder at the Department of Neuroscience at the University Medical Center Groningen, Netherlands. Entitled The phenomenon of hallucinations, Professor Sommer offered a holistic view into the research and experiences of hallucinations. It’s actually more common than you might think but what happens in our brains when we hallucinate? And what does this mean for new treatments and interventions

Modello analogico di meccanismi eruttivi
No full textQuesto lavoro di tesi è stato focalizzato allo studio del processo di formazione della caldera dei Campi Flegrei, attraverso l’utilizzo di modelli analogici. Sono stati realizzati più modelli analogici utilizzando gelatina e soluzioni di gum rosin e acetone (GRA) in diverse condizioni fisiche, spessore degli strati e diverse sorgenti di deformazione, rappresentanti il comportamento del magma, modellando i processi deformativi superficiali, la formazione di fratture e apertura di bocche eruttive, la formazione di flussi lenti e duomi, con lo scopo di fornire un quadro del succedersi dei fenomeni associati alla risalita o ad un aumento della pressione magmatica fino alle manifestazioni superficiali. La modellizzazione analogica è una procedura che ha come scopo la riproduzione dei processi naturali a scala di laboratorio, tramite l’utilizzo di materiali “simili” ai corrispondenti naturali. Un modello analogico è efficace se ben vincolato da parametri geometrici (es. numero e spessore degli strati) e fisici (es. densità, viscosità, parametri elastici etc.). La gelatina è un materiale derivante dall’idrolisi parziale del collagene, si presenta come un solido chiaro e trasparente, con comportamento viscoelastico per temperature superiori ai 7°C e fragile per temperature poco inferiori 5°C. Il gum rosin è una sostanza organica amorfa a temperatura ambiente derivante diverse varietà di pino del Nord America e dell’Europa, la viscosità del mezzo è condizionata dalla temperatura e varia di cinque ordini di grandezza passando da ~10^2 Pas ad 80°C a ~10^7 Pas a 40°C, la dissoluzione di una piccola quantità dei più comuni solventi organici converte il rosin in un fluido Newtoniano. Le fasi sperimentali hanno permesso di misurare le deformazioni iniziali dell’overburden soggetto alla risalita del magma, osservare lo sviluppo di fratture sia tripartite dal centro di spinta che ad emiciclo, ed il recupero della deformazione con l’azzeramento della sorgente di spinta. Le tipologie e l’evoluzione delle fratture sono condizionate dalla velocità d’incremento della pressione della sorgente. Il confronto dei dati di laboratorio con quelli di campo, noti in letteratura, ha consentito una ricostruzione del processo evolutivo della formazione della caldera dell’Ignimibrite Campana. Il processo di fatturazione dell’overburden inizia con la formazione di una frattura semicircolare, causata da una rapida risalita del magma, attraverso la quale giunge in superficie. L’incipit dell’intero fenomeno interesserebbe la parte orientale della città di Napoli, come suggerito dai dati di campo. La formazione di questa struttura unitamente alla crescente viscosità del magma ed alla conseguente riduzione di velocità di risalita condizionano i processi successivi generando una frattura che si propaga verso occidente, dove si concentrano gli sforzi generati dal magma in risalita e si genera una frattura tripartita. La depressurizzazione del magma, in seguito alla formazione del sistema di fratture a tre rami, genera un’eruzione di elevata energia con la deposizione dell’Ignimbrite. La diminuzione di pressione nella sorgente magmatica e l’azione erosiva del magma espulso, determineranno la formazione della calder
