O presente artigo tem como objetivo a análise da relação entre o nonsense literário e o real nas obras Alice no País das Maravilhas e Através do Espelho e o que Alice encontrou por lá, ambas de Lewis Carroll. Busca-se compreender como configura uma representação da realidade ou daquilo que tomamos por real. Atribuindo-lhe assim, significado e reflexão acerca do conceito que, primariamente, remete a algo que “não possui sentido”. O caminho que se pretende percorrer no trabalho começa com uma observação sobre a ocorrência do nonsense em Alice, aliando a teoria específica sobre; passando adiante para as concepções de representação. Para tanto, serão tomadas noções de representação em Adorno, Aristóteles, Benjamim, Auerbach, Barthes e considerações acerca do nonsense trabalhadas por Anthony Burgess.

L’évaluation des psychothérapies dans le champ de l’oncologie

L’évaluation des psychothérapies est autant un enjeu de la psychologie et de la psychiatrie qu’un « symptôme social ». Dans le champ de l’oncologie, cette évaluation a-t-elle beaucoup de sens ? Du moment qu’une thérapie permet au sujet, confronté tant au savoir qu’au réel de la maladie, de tenir une parole qui maintienne vive sa condition subjective, elle ne peut qu’être reconnue comme « gagnante », selon le jugement du dodo de Lewis Carroll. À cela près qu’elle gagne aussi à être « éclairée ».

Simple majority rule is badly behaved. This is one of the earliest lessons learned by political scientists in the positive political theory tradition. Discovered and rediscovered by theorists over the centuries (including, famously, the Majorcan Franciscan monk Raymon Llull in the thirteenth century, the Marquis de Condorcet in the eighteenth, the Reverend Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) in the eighteenth, and Duncan Black in the twentieth), the method of majority rule cannot be counted on to produce a rational collective choice. In many circumstances (made precise in the technical literature), it is very likely (a claim also made precise) that whatever choice is produced will suffer the property of not being “best” in the preferences of all majorities: for any candidate alternative, there will always exist another alternative that some majority prefers to it. This chapter suggests that while a collection of preferences often cannot provide a collectively “best” choice, institutional arrangements, which restrict comparisons of alternatives, may allow majority rule to function more smoothly. That is, where equilibrium induced by preferences alone may fail to exist, institutional structure may induce stability.

Twenty First Century

The Alice Books, full of illogical thoughts, words, and contradictions, were unrivaled entertainment until the publication of the medical literature promoting electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) for every pregnancy. The modern-day EFM advocates acknowledge EFM’s decades long failure but simultaneously recommend EFM use for lawsuit protection and because the profession has used EFM for every pregnancy for fifty years, therefore, it must be efficacious. These self-indulgent, illogical rationalizations ignore the half century of evidence-based scientific research proving that EFM is a complete failure as well as ignoring the fact that continued EFM use violates the fundamental principles of modern bioethics. This blind advocacy perpetuates four pernicious EFM harms occurring to mothers, babies, and the medical profession itself. This article sets out these four EFM harms with the goal of abolishing the misguided, illogical, contradictory, arguments used by the twenty-first century EFM Lewis Carroll mimics.
