Undoing the world together
This article examines the workshopped practices of Hybrid Women, a transnational feminist performance collective working between the UK and Italy, through Sheila Preston’s notion of critical facilitation. We argue that Hybrid Women’s workshops function as laboratories of feminist praxis in which facilitation is enacted as a relational, performative, and politically implicated practice, rather than a neutral technique. Framed through the metaphor …
The Habitus of Care
BACKGROUND: People who use drugs represent a significant yet underrecognized frontline against overdose fatality. While overdose education and naloxone distribution programs provide basic training, little is known about how expertise develops through repeated real-world encounters with overdose. METHODS: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 74 people who had administered naloxone within the past year, recruited through harm reduction prog…
Emergence of Medetomidine in the Unregulated Drug Supply and Its Association With Hallucinogenic Effects
A brick to a bundle
Findings suggest that people who use drugs are adapting consumption patterns and adopting harm reduction practices as coping responses to xylazine's adverse effects. Unlike previous major opioid market transitions that primarily differed in pharmacokinetics, xylazine introduces new risks while replacing desired psychoactive effects with undesirable ones. The widespread dissatisfaction with xylazine represents a unique opportunity to expand harm r…
Angeliki Avgitidou, Performance Art
A critical book review of Angeliki Avigitidou’s Performance Art: Educationand Practice, Routledge, 2023. A consideration of how performance theory and practice concerns can be activated through embodied and experiential educational provocations
Reading Digital Fiction
Reading Digital Fiction offers the first comprehensive and systematic theoretical, methodological, and analytical examination of digital fiction from a cognitive and empirical perspective. Proposing the new concept of “medial reading”, it argues for the centrality of an audience’s interest in, awareness of and/or attention to the medium in which a text is produced and received, and which we argue should be applied to reader data across media. The…
A call for compassionate opioid overdose response
High dose and long-acting opioid overdose reversal drugs can precipitate withdrawal in people who are opioid dependent. Products recently brought to market for community use in the United States (US) have drawn international concern because of their increased risk of withdrawal. At the March 18-19, 2024, Compassionate Overdose Response Summit & Naloxone Dosing Meeting, a panel of harm reduction experts issued the following call to action: 1) peop…
“It all feels too real”
This article explores the way that interactive digital narratives play with the boundary between reality and fiction in ways that lead reader/players to perceive bidirectional ontological transfers both during and after the narrative experience—a phenomenon that I define as “ontological resonance.” Drawing on empirical research, it examines Blast Theory's app-fiction Karen as a case study but suggests that ontological resonance is becoming increa…
Digital Fiction and the Unnatural

From Peers to Lay Bystanders
Distribution of the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone has been central to efforts to combat the ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States. This report presents data from Prevention Point Pittsburgh (PPP), a public health advocacy and direct service organization that has operated an overdose prevention program (OPP) with naloxone distribution since 2005. The program initially provided naloxone training and distribution only to people who u…
The Scientific Revolution That Wasn't
This is one of those tales of a scientific revolution that never quite came to pass. Science, the movement's would-be revolutionaries argued, had lost its way. It had become too hierarchical and too focused on the whims of senior staff and their cronies. Humanity had allowed its collective scientific energies to be applied to war and environmental destruction, rather than to the public good. In the shadow of the still-blazing light of the atomic …

Ontological Metalepsis and Unnatural Narratology
In this article, we focus on ontological metalepses that involve represented transgressions of world boundaries as one manifestation of the unnatural. We first discriminate between ascending, descending, and horizontal metaleptic jumps a three types of unnatural metalepses, or, more specifically, metalepses physically or logically impossible (Alber 80) and, in a second step, try to determine their potential functions. We also propose a new cognit…

Science as ‘Horrible’
Horrible Science is a popular UK-based brand of books, toys and magazines aimed at 7–11 year olds. At first sight, the term 'horrible' might be taken as embodying a critique of science and technology. However, a closer look reveals Horrible Science quite playfully twisting between positive and negative uses of the word, often transforming the latter into the former in the process. The horrible of Horrible Science is clearly signalled as fun. It i…
The anachronistic fantastic
This article argues that the `genre-slipperiness' of recent media products have been accompanied by a form of `time-slip'. Such happily anachronistic texts self-consciously fuse the nostalgic with the futuristic and suggest comfort and unease with both. In this respect, they might be seen to do damage to notions of linear development, but arguably display love as well as criticism of different forms of progress. This article suggests three differ…
Doing it by the Book
Designing and testing questionnaires for children
Only in the last 10—15 years have social researchers acknowledged the importance of conducting survey research with children directly, rather than relying on qualitative findings plus prevalence data collected by proxy from adults. With reference to the question—answer model, I here present and consider a number of guiding principles for the design of appropriate and effective questions for younger respondents. Pretesting of questions is especial…
