A continent of and for whiteness?: “White” colonialism and the 1959 Antarctic Treaty

There are at least four ways in which Antarctic colonialism was white: it was paradigmatically performed by white men; it consisted in the taking of vast, white expanses of land; it was carried out with a carte blanche (literally, “blank card”) attitude; and it was presented to the world as a white, innocent adventure. While the first, racial whiteness has been amply problematised, I suggest that the last three illuminate yet other moral wrongs of the Antarctic colonial project. Moreover, they might be constitutive of a larger class of “white” colonialisms beyond the White Continent.

Effect of Emotions on Visual Evoked Potentials

The effects of anxiety and anger on the visual evoked potentials generated by exposure to visual stimuli (circle or square as compared to blank card) did not for 80 human Ss modify the latencies or the amplitude of P1, P2, N1 and N2 peaks. Anxiety and anger modified, however, in a statistically significant manner P3 and the following waves. The P3 – N4 wave complex seemed to relate to cognitive processes. The results suggest that the effects of cognitive processes related to anxiety and rage differ, at least in part.

O.R.T. Performance in Schizophrenia

Phillipson's Object Relations Technique (Phillipson, 1955) is roughly described as possessing features to be found in the T.A.T. and Rorschach methods. It consists of 13 cards, including a blank card. The design of the test and the order of card presentation are depicted in Table I.
