What does this philosophical approach make thinkable or possible for inquiry? What are your perspectives on methodology(ies) and/or methods? How do you envision that in your approaches to doing inquiry? What mechanisms could be put in place at universities to help supervisors and/or committees support students engaged in philosophical modes of inquiry.

Manning demonstrates that the typical autism diagnosis is based on assessing of how one is focusing their attention on human beings, which automatically excludes the richness of other relations developed by people with the autism. The author analyzes autistics’ works of art and presents the complexity of the lingual world of relations that emerges thanks to autism. This serves as a ground for ethics of language in the making.

Erin: I think the concept has been lurking in the sidelines of my practice for some time. It began to take form around questions of interactivity, particularly around technologically innovative art projects that themselves question how art tackles notions of participation. Two issues seemed most salient for me in this turn toward the technological: 1. How do we not become too entranced by the technology itself, bending to its needs-how, as artists, do we not fall prey to feeling as though it is technology that provides the experience. Or, put differently, how do we not fall prey to the idea that it is technology that supplies the wonder, while at the same time not dismissing the complexity of technology and the many roles it can play within our practices? 2. How do we retain a sensitivity to the art-event (not just the technology-event), keeping in mind the difference between interactivity and relation, between the setting up of a cause-effect scenario and the creation of an event. These questions led me to take the process of investing in digital technologies very carefully,

It does so through the concept of the minor gesture. The minor gesture, allied to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's concept of the minor, is the gestural force that opens experience to its potential variation. It does this from within experience itself, activating a shift in tone, a difference in quality. A minor key is always interlaced with major keys-the minor works the major from within. What must be remembered is this: neither the minor nor the major is fixed in advance. The major is a structural tendency that organizes itself according to predetermined definitions of value. The minor is a force that courses through it, unmooring its structural integrity, problematizing its normative standards. The unwavering belief in the major as the site where events occur, where events make a difference, is based on accepted accounts of what registers as change as well as existing parameters for gauging the value of that change. 1 Yet while the grand gestures of a macropolitics most easily sum up the changes that occurred to alter the field, it is the minoritarian tendencies that initiate the subtle shifts that created the conditions for this, and any change. The grand is given the status it has not because it is where the transformative power lies, but because it is easier to identify major shifts than to catalogue the nuanced rhythms of the minor. As a result, these rhythms are narrated as secondary, or even negligible. The minor is a continual variation on experience. It has a mobility not given to the major: its rhythms are not controlled by a preexisting structure, but open to flux. In variation is in change, indeterminate. But indeterminacy, because of its wildness, is often seen as unrigorous, flimsy, its lack of solidity mistaken for a lack of consistency. The minor thus gets cast aside, overlooked, or forgotten in the interplay of major chords. This is the

Nous tentons de mettre en lumière le silence qu'implique la confession dans un texte qui veut inscrite le passé dans le présent. Lepage insiste sur l'impossibilité de retrouver un chez-soi inchangé par le temps et l'histoire. Chez-soi se définit plus par l'incertitude et la différence que par la sécurité et la stabilité. Les configurations filuide d'inclusions et d'exclusions élargissent la notion de chez-soi pour rejoindre l'idée de État-nation.

In principle, the premise of interdisciplinarity may appear to have many strengths; yet, the extent to which interdisciplinarity is embraced by the current generation of academics, the benefits and risks for doing so, and the barriers and facilitators to achieving interdisciplinarity, represent inherent challenges. Much has been written on the topic of interdisciplinarity, but to our knowledge there have been few attempts to consider and present diverse perspectives from scholars, artists, and scientists in a cohesive manner. As a team of 57 members from the Canadian College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada (the College) who self-identify as being engaged or interested in interdisciplinarity, we provide diverse intellectual, cultura...

Na exploração transversal do que essa série de encontros pode gerar, emerge a pergunta de como é possível dar conta da entrada do movimento menor no mundo. Um processo curatorial para a ativação de movimentos menores requer uma transformação do pressuposto de que existe um campo da arte e um campo da vida, quando o binarismo entre arte e vida é desfeito. O que importa não é se é ou não arte, mas como a experiência ou o acontecimento muda as condições da experiência. Quando a arte se torna a maneira e não o fim, os movimentos menores se tornam orientadores dos processos por vir.

Na celebração dos vinte anos do tribunal de Nüremberg e com a recente biografia fílmica de Hannah Arendt, o tema volta à tona, quando observamos movimentos ressurgentes de controle das manifestações estéticas. Manning discute o brilhantismo de Riefenstahl a partir de uma cuidadosa análise de Olympia, considerando os movimentos de câmara como estratégia de invenção do corpo em si, tecendo uma especulação sobre as ideologias contidas nos gestos retratados e inventados em cena. Os argumentos desviam-se das acusações políticas recorrentes para alcançar a obra de Riefenstahl como representativa na discussão sobre o limite das aparências e o transcendentalismo físico no cinema. Em um movimento teórico único, a produção da cineasta é compara...

In the USA, opioid overdose has become a leading cause of unintentional death, surpassing motor vehicle accidents. A patient's first exposure to opioids may be during the perioperative period, a time where anesthesiologists have a significant role in pain management. Almost all patients in the USA receive opioids during a surgical encounter. Opioids have many undesirable side effects, including potential for misuse, or opioid use disorder. Anesthesiologists and surgeons employ several methods to decrease unnecessary opioid use, opioid-related adverse events, and side effects in the perioperative period. Multimodal analgesia, enhanced recovery pathways, and regional anesthesia are key tools as we work towards optimal opioid stewardship and the ideal of effective analgesia without undesirable sequelae.
