Elemental Suicide
On 3 August 1917, Virginia Woolf began writing a diary in a small book she kept at Asheham, the country house in Sussex where she stayed with a nurse and her husband, Leonard Woolf, to recover after a years-long sequence of illness, attempted suicide, and mental breakdowns. It had been two years without record. She wrote only in this diary for two months, until 4 October 1917, when she took up her longer diary upon returning to Richmond; however,…
Resilience among organ donation coordinators: A Canadian mixed-methods study
Background: Organ and Tissue Donation Coordinators (OTDCs) are key to the success of deceased organ donation processes. However, reduced resilience can leave them susceptible to the incidence of work-related issues and decrease the quality of the care provided. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the extent of resilience and influencing aspects among OTDCs in Canada. Methods: Mixed-method (QUAN-qual) explanatory sequential design. Quantitative…
The middle ground of light
This is an essay about looking at the sun, which means that it is actually an essay about being unable to do so. The figure at its centre is the solar eclipse, which removes the sun from view but provides the occasion to gather and look for light in the first place. While exceptional, the solar eclipse nonetheless presents a middle or common ground of light – mere light whose limits are realised by a shared witness, akin to the everyday sunset. T…
Tacita Dean and the Air Outside
This is an essay about finding space to breathe in the clouds. It begins with Tacita Dean's chalk drawings of clouds in Los Angeles-themselves large billowing forms of white dust on slate-that reveal the irreducible thereness of clouds, unconnected to anything but themselves and the movement of air. Dean renders clouds as impermanent, arial residue-chalk dust and reflected light-whose exchange of fungibility and form is constituted by acts of era…
Family experiences with non-therapeutic research on dying patients in the intensive care unit
Experiences of substitute decision-makers with requests for consent to non-therapeutic research participation during the dying process, including to what degree such requests are perceived as burdensome, have not been well described. In this study, we explored the lived experiences of family members who consented to non-therapeutic research participation on behalf of an imminently dying patient. We interviewed 33 family members involved in surrog…
Autoresuscitation and clinical authority in death determination using circulatory criteria
Walking Badly
Taking Bruce Nauman's video installation Contrapposto Studies, I through VII (2015/2016) as its starting point, this essay explores the postural, moral, and political implications of walking's instability, proposing that the instability of walking underwrites its condition. It builds on the feminist scholarship of Adriana Cavarero to challenge the philosophical assumptions of masculine uprightness and to reveal instead the temporal limits of huma…
Dynamic Form: How Intermediality Made Modernism
Cara Lewis's Dynamic Form: How Intermediality Made Modernism proceeds from Virginia Woolf's ([1925] 1974: 173) provocation in her essay “Pictures” that a professor write a book called “The Loves of the Arts,” which “would be concerned with the flirtations between music, letters, sculpture, and architecture, and the effects that the arts have had upon each other throughout the ages.” Literature, Woolf claims, loves the hardest and widest of the ar…
Appropriating the Weather
This article focuses on works by the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, who has recently produced a number of large-scale and immersive installations, such as Ice Watch (2014) and, most famously, The Weather Project (2003). His human-made environments situate the human subject and human experience at their center, inviting the spectator to experience atmospheres and environments anew. Relying on the disorienting and defamiliarizing effects of enlarge…
In Looking Back One Learns to See: Marcel Proust and Photography
