Iterations of Hell
This paper attempts to contribute to thinking about the ethical responsibilities of the psychoanalytic profession in the context of the Gaza genocide. In a world inured to mass suffering, and paralyzed by a sense of impotence, the crisis in Palestine has had a unique impact on the collective consciousness and conscience, engendering unprecedented mobilizations across society. A situation with such devastating consequences for the physical and psy…
What would Freud have made of it? Notes on a “normal pathological organization” within contemporary psychoanalysis
Psychoanalytic discourse in relation to the situation in historic Palestine is subject to both ideologically‐based and anxiety‐driven inhibitions and restrictions that conflict with the discipline’s claim to be able to “stay with” difficult issues, to “think the unthinkable”. This situation is understood as a social pathology, and its impacts are explored through a literature review (explaining the paper’s length). It considers works that directl…

The psychoanalytic encounter with settler colonialism in Palestine/Israel
The paper explores the relationship between the legacy of Western imperialism and the complicity of the “international community” in the settler colonial project taking place in Palestine/Israel. It analyzes some key aspects of Western discourse that inhibit an appreciation of non‐Zionist perspectives, and which obstruct action to challenge the systemic human rights abuses to which Palestinians are subject. It argues that psychoanalysis, as a dis…
Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Leicester
Leonardo's greatest work of science beautifully reproduced for the 500th anniversary of his death.0This edition offers a high-quality facsimile reproduction of Leonardo Da Vinci's Codex Leicester, a collection of his scientific writings. Named after Thomas Coke (later Earl of Leicester) who purchased it in 1719, Codex Leicester holds the record as the most expensive book ever when it was bought by Bill Gates in 1994. Consisting of 72 pages, it wa…
Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Leicester
Il volume, parte della nuova edizione critica del Codice Leicester di Leonardo curata dal sottoscritto in collaborazione con Martin Kemp (quattro volumi), contiene saggi dedicati al contenuto scientifico del codice in rapporto all'arte di Leonardo e alla fortuna critica del manoscritto. In particolare due saggi ricostruiscono il rapporto tra ricerca geologica e sui fossili e arte (Of the Earth in Itself: Leonardo’s ‘Geology’ or Towards a History …
Dehumanization, Guilt and Large Group Dynamics With Reference to the West, Israel and the Palestinians
Following his participation in a visit by health professionals to Israel/Palestine, the author reflects on the sense of apprehension that accompanied his intention to share his impressions on his return. In this paper he turns to psychoanalysis and the analysis of large group phenomena to discuss socio-psychological factors that seem to determine the context for discourse in the West relating to the Israel/Palestine conflict. He argues that psych…
Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture
Leonardo da Vinci (1452--1519) is renowned as a painter, designer, draftsman, architect, engineer, scientist, and theorist. His work as a sculptor is not commonly acknowledged, and many have argued that Leonardo believed that sculpture was an inferior art form (of lesser genius than painting). Challenging and overturning these assumptions, Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture looks at the sculptural projects that the artist undertook, as we…
Reflections of Reality in Jan van Eyck and Robert Campin
There has been considerable debate about the perspectival/optical bases of the naturalism pioneered by Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck. Their paintings feature brilliantly rendered convex mirrors, which have been the subject of much comment, especially iconographical. David Hockney has recently argued that the Netherlandish painters exploited the image-forming capacities of concave mirrors. However, the secrets of the images within the painted mir…

Hearts and minds
This paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork in south Bristol, United Kingdom, and on the south Atlantic island of St Helena. It addresses the relationship between the experience of psychosocial distress, the language used to express such distress and the socio-cultural constraints on both language and experience. Accounts of emotional distress were obtained from interviews with 36 informants in south Bristol and with 40 informants on St Helena.…
Proof positive in Sir John Herschel's concept of photography
In the beginning and in the end there was only light — or so it seemed to Dante when he faced the ultimate vision of the Creator.1 At the end of his journey through Paradise, Dante's mortal senses and earth-bound language prove unequal to the task of describing the divine radiance, and he must resort to his mind's eye rather than his pen. Light and language have met repeatedly at similar cusps of the indescribable throughout history. Half a mille…
Gregor Mendel
The Genius of Genetics', an exhibition celebrating the work of Gregor Mendel through science and art, opened in Brno on 21 May 2002 at the Abbey of St Thomas, where Mendel lived from 1843, becoming its Abbot in 1867. The exhibition is intended to be the first step in a larger programme to reestablish the abbey as a centre for life sciences, and its opening was accompanied by a major international conference on 'Genetics after the Genome'. This es…
Talbot and the picturesque view
Any photograph of an actual scene obviously operates with the given properties of that scene, but, like any other representation, it also constructs an image upon the basis of overt and covert choices. Indeed, the very choice of a scene for the act of photography already involves clear predispositions towards subjects in general. A familiar and even vulgar predisposition lies behind the phenomenon of what we scathingly call ‘picture-postcard view…

The changing face of low pay in Britain
Pay may be considered to be 'low' if it is not a fair reward for work done, or if it does not provide an adequate means of subsistence. The first of these approaches implies that policy should be concerned with individual employees and their wage rates. The second suggests that the adequacy of wages should be examined in the context of total household income. This study considers both perspectives and introduces a method of combining them into a …

True to their natures
The lectures delivered at the Royal Academy of Arts by Joshua Reynolds, its first president, and William Hunter, F. R. S., its first professor of anatomy, belonged to the same basic enterprise. Through the educational programme of the Academy, they were aspiring to raise the intellectual standards, levels of aesthetic achievement and institutional status of the visual arts in England. Observers of English achievements in other fields, most notabl…
