Global Uncertainty

With a conscious attempt to contribute to contemporary discussions in mad/trans/queer/monster studies, the monograph approaches complex postmodern theories and contextualizes them from an autoethnographic methodological perspective. As the self-explanatory subtitle reads, the book introduces several topics as revelatory fields for the author’s self-exploration at the moment of an intense epistemological and ontological crisis. Reflexively written, it does not solely focus on a personal experience, as it also aims at bridging the gap between the individual and the collective in times of global uncertainty. There are no solid outcomes defined; nevertheless, the narrative points to a certain—more fluid—way out. Through introducing alternative ways of hermeneutics and meaning-making, the book offers a synthesis of postmodern philosophy and therapy, evolutionary astrology as a symbolic language, embodied inquiry, and Buddhist thought that together represent a critical attempt to challenge the pathologizing discursive practices of modern disciplines during the neoliberal capitalist era.

Development is a focal point of human existence from the moment of birth. A magnitude of options is offered in which to choose a path of growth and expansion as we progress. The following is a review of one such choice, the integral theory; included are both an explanation of theory and ideology of human development. This understanding is applied to my personal experience as I participated in P.L. Lattuada’s experiential process of organismic constellation. Through a gradual evolution of meditative processes Lattuada’s organismic constellation method offers a chance to explore one’s egoic translations. The second portion of this paper explores my personal process, revealing some of my personal egoic translations of traumas, fixations, complexes, and shadows.

Insight Into

Melanie Klein was born on March 30, 1882, in Vienna, Austria. In 1903, she married Arthur Klein and relocated to Budapest. They had three children, born in 1904, 1907, and 1914. Klein’s first personal experience in the field of psychoanalysis began when she sought treatment for herself after her mother died in 1914. Earlier in her youth, Klein’s siblings died: her brother died when she was 20, and her sister died when Klein was 4 years old. Klein was in treatment with Sandor Ferenczi between 1914 and 1917. Klein was a pioneer in the treatment of children. She was among the first to use psychoanalysis on children and implemented several never-before implemented techniques and tools. She often used play and toys to help children discuss psychological issues. Klein’s approach to psychoanalysis conflicted with much of Sigmund Freud’s work. Freud drew his ideas on child development from the recollections of his adult patients, but Klein worked directly with children and toddlers, giving her unique insight into the child development process. She defied Freud, arguing that the superego is actually present the moment a child is born, preceding the Oedipal complex. Klein also claimed that a primitive form of the Oedipal complex was present much earlier in development than Freud claimed, as a child becomes preoccupied with overwhelming parental authority.

The article focuses on the manner natal narratives accumulate and transmit prevailing traditional ideas about motherhood and the baby in modern society. It lists and exemplifies the major motifs that are typical of oral tradition of the Ukrainians, Slavs, and other peoples. This research is based on stories of more than 500 women about personal experience of pregnancy and childbirth, which were recorded using the narrative interview method. The thick description method (Clifford Geertz 1973) has been applied for material interpretation. The authors analyse animal–child symbolism in the narration of pregnancy, the accents on weather and time while telling about the moment of birth, and the manifestation of each child’s uniqueness in the mother’s interpretation.

So far as I know, no present day pediatric textbook recommends gum-lancing to relieve the symptoms caused by the cutting of the infant's teeth. But within the memory of many older practitioners, the value of this procedure was still supported by a number of the leading pediatricians of their day. One of the most avid proponents of gumlancing was Dr. John Darwall of Birmingham, England, who wrote: With respect to the gums, the moment they become red and inflamed they should be lanced, nor can any harm result from this practice, if the lancet be clean . . . An objection has been made, and even by medical men, that should the gums heal over the teeth after they have been lanced, they become harder than they were at first, and consequently that the teeth will have more difficulty in protruding. Unprofessional persons might be excused for making such a remark and drawing such an inference, but in medical men it is utterly disgraceful. Convulsions, inflammation of the eyes and many other diseases frequently accompany teething; it will be in vain to administer medicines until the gums have been lanced.1 Almost a century later the highly respected John Lovett Morse of Boston advocated gumlancing to relieve the infant's fever, which he considered to be a frequent accompaniment of teething. He cited the following personal experience: A boy, 17 months old, began to be fussy and a little feverish the night of April 14. The next evening the temperature was 103°F., the next day 100°F. in the evening.

The article is devoted to the study of the Hungarian section of the Chuvash studies. The aim of the work is to familiarize the scientific community with new Hungarian scientists. The author uses traditional descriptive and analytical methods practiced in scholarship. The Hungarian section is the most developed area of foreign Chuvash studies. It is due to the linguistic contacts of the Turkic languages of the Chuvash type with Hungarian, which took place in the period before the conquering of homeland by the Hungarians. Currently, Hungarian Chuvash studies are mainly represented by linguistic and musicological trends. There are works of a historical and literary plan. One of the representatives of modern scholars of the Chuvash language in Hungary is M. Takács, who asserted herself by direct translations of the works of the Chuvash fiction into Hungarian, mainly the stories of E. Lisina. She also published scholarly works based on personal experience and devoted to the problems of translation and linguistics of a literary text. Thus, a distinctive feature of M. Takács’s Chuvash studies at the moment is a departure from the problems recognized as traditional for the Hungarian Chuvash studies – language contacts. Another direction of M. Takács’s research is the study of nouns published in the book «Works related to the grammar of the Chuvash language» of 1769. Another direction of M. Takács is the study of the problems of «Works belonging to the grammar of the Chuvash language» 1769. The author comes to the conclusion that the scientific developments of M. Takac in Hungarian Chuvash studies develop the traditions of studying the literary texts of Chuvash authors in linguistic and translation aspects.

The epilogue returns to a reflection upon the ethics and politics of interculturalism. At the moment of the book’s final drafting, in late 2020, we confront old/new examples of racism and xenophobia, overlaid by a deadly global pandemic. Writing on the morning of the November 4, 2020 US presidential election, the author considers the fractious contemporary moment and the disappointments of a less than definitive denunciation of Donald Trump. In the face of this, the author wonders whether intercultural duets can really overcome such intense divisiveness. At the same time, she argues, the rapid transmissibility of Covid-19 should be further demonstration of the importance of collective responsibility, and the suffering caused by lockdowns should further remind us of the vital importance of intercorporeal togetherness. Finally, the author returns to her personal experience with loss to underscore the interlacing themes of the book: love and mourning, difference and empathy. If the wages of dying is love, she argues, then by all means, let’s dance.

The Way

In this article, I examine the way Swedish-speaking first-time mothers living in Finland narrate their experience of giving birth between 1993 and 1997. The object is narrating about the moment of birth and experiential dimension of giving birth. This includes an analysis of stylistic means used in narration, and the points of narration. The material consists of childbirth stories told by 14 Swedish-speaking first-time mothers in interviews during the 1990s. I define the story as a personal experience narrative. The stories show that the women’s experience is embodied. The birth-givers are more focused on giving birth than giving birth to a child and they relate to ambient norms and values in their narration.

The Moment

From the first verse of the first Elegy (entitled “Quam misera sit conditio docentium literas humaniores Lutetiae...”) written by Buchanan while he was a young teacher in Paris, the Scottish scholar depicts himself as an unlucky lover of poetry whose passion is impeded by his educational job. Through his fifth Elegy, “Ad Franciscum Oliuarius, Franciae Cancellarium, nomine Scholae Burdigalensis”, the Scottish scholar, then teaching Latin in Bordeaux, becomes the advocate of the Muses in order to obtain from the French Chancellor François Olivier the financial and moral help that classical studies need at the moment. In the first Elegy which testifies a personal experience as well as in the second one which is an “event poem” written for the defense of the Collège de Guyenne, Buchanan adopts the position of the poet complaining that too many difficulties prevent him from living completely and with dignity from his art whereas he embodies a sophisticated way of life, civilization in short. In both elegies, the status of the poet is seen as problematical: George Buchanan uses the topoi of the poet’s representation and of the current situation that is sometimes personal, sometimes shared by his fellow teachers in Bordeaux. Such a situation casts doubt on the poetical vocation of the “Prince of Poets of his time”, so called a little later by the French publisher Robert Estienne.
