Finding Sunbeams in the Darkness: Michel Serres's Analogical Thinking and the Ethics of Listening in The Zone of Interest
This article addresses the fundamental concept underpinning Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest, which recognizes selective empathy and extraordinary empathy dissonance within our contemporary cultures as a continuum, not a moment. The article uses Michel Serres's philosophical process to provide an ontological and epistemological framework within which The Zone of Interest can be understood analogously as a warning about darkness enveloping t…
The Escalating Impact of Illegal Immigration on Health and Physical Education in Public Schools
This article describes some of the challenges that schools and educators are experiencing in various parts of the country related to illegal immigration and suggests some ways in which SHAPE America – Society of Health and Physical Educators can help
Beyond Physical Wellness: The Importance of Eating Disorder–Prevention Strategies in Schools
Body image, or an individual’s subjective beliefs about the appearance of their body, is a critical element of a person’s overall self-concept. Aspects of body image serve as distinct influences in the onset of eating disorders (EDs), the prevalence of which continues to increase. This article discusses the importance of health and physical education teachers incorporating ED-prevention strategies into their classrooms
The Blaauwkrantz bridge
The opening of the Blaauwkrantz Bridge in 1884 was an important link in the completion of the railway line-between Grahamstown and Port Alfred. This line proved a boon to farmers of the area and to businessmen in Grahamstown and Port Alfred. For the private company who built the line, however, it was not a financial success, and in 1913 it was taken over by the South African Railways and integrated into their railway system. Unable to cope with t…
Michel Serres's Sensorial Philosophy and the Importance of Skin in Francis Bacon's Nudes
Prompted by the exhibition Francis Bacon: Man and Beast (January-April 2022), this article takes a cultural studies and historical poetics approach to the significance of skin in Bacon's nudes. Drawing upon Michel Serres's philosophy and the work of prominent figures within skin studies, this article argues that Bacon's paintings intuitively embody the significance of skin as a dynamic site/sight of sensory, lived, experience shaped by socio-hist…
Noise, ecological crises, and the posthuman sensibility of Michel Serres in Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin
This article revisits Jonathan Glazer’s sci-fi film Under the Skin, ten years on from its release in 2013, to re-read it through Michel Serres’s posthuman philosophy as an allegorical warning about the ongoing ecological crises. Making this argument involves recognizing, through Serres, the crucial role of artistic practice in questioning our current neglect of sensible modes of being. Focusing upon the importance of ‘noise’ within Serres’s posth…
Michel Serres, Topology and Folded Time in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk
This article discusses Michel Serres's topological thinking and his approach to space and time from a film studies perspective, specifically looking at connections between Serresian philosophy and the work of Christopher Nolan, using Dunkirk (2017) as an example of folded time. The article provides a selective overview of Serres's topological thinking, which opposes a geometrical approach to space and time, as well as indicating connections betwe…
Hella Jongerius: Breathing Colour
Breathing Colour promises an exhibition that pits “the power of colour against the power of form,” setting up expectations of bold colors and strong forms in dramatic contrast (Newson and Jongerius
Eyes, Sight and the Senses on Film and in Fashion: Crossmodal Correspondences and Sensorial Empathy between Lars von Trier’s Dancer in the Dark (2000) and Johan Ku’s “Selma” Collection S/S (2014)
Sensory studies emerged at the turn of the twenty-first century as a significant influence upon the arts, humanities and the social sciences. Study of the senses naturally tends towards the interdisciplinary because such studies provide a point of convergence between a broad range of scientific and socio-cultural research. Fashion theory is a subject area that is inherently concerned with issues of sensorial response. This article explores the co…

Framing Rural Fashion: Observations from Badminton Horse Trials
This visual essay offers a perspective designed to extend and complicate the dialogue surrounding rural fashion through a consideration of just one of the spaces it (recognizably) inhabits. As a case study, the spectacle of Badminton Horse Trials provides a multitude of associations: an internationally renowned sporting event, geographically and culturally located within the English countryside; an affiliated and substantial ‘pop-up’ shopping vil…

Estimators of Fruit Abundance of Tropical Trees
Many types of biological studies require the estimation of food abundance in tropical forests, and a variety of methods have been used to estimate this parameter. Here we compare the accuracy and precision of three methods for estimating the fruit abundance (biomass and number) of tropical tree species: tree diameter, crown volume, and visual estimation. Diameter at breast height (DBH) was the most consistently accurate method and exhibited low l…
Dental metric assessment of the Omo fossils: Implications for the phylogenetic position of Australopithecus africanus
The discovery of Australopithecus afarensis has led to new interpretations of hominid phylogeny, some of which reject A. africanus as an ancestor of Homo. Analysis of buccolingual tooth crown dimensions in australopithecines and Homo species by Johanson and White (Science 202 :321–330, 1979) revealed that the South African gracile australopithecines are intermediate in size between Laetoli/Hadar hominids and South African robust hominids. Homo , …
