Grief and the Limits of Possibility
Recent prominent philosophical work has proposed that grief’s formal object —that which all instances of grief are directed towards, and which distinguishes grief from other emotions—is the loss of significant life possibilities. This article challenges the “lost possibilities” account by examining cases of grief where possibilities are experienced as being different , disenfranchised, or diminished prior to the loss. We argue that individuals re…
Mourning as a ground attunement
Consolation: A fundamental existential category
In this article, we propose that the concept of consolation is a necessary part of the existential register needed to respond to human suffering in situations that cannot be changed or helped. While “consolatio” as a concept has a long and diverse history in Western thinking, it is today perceived as hopelessly unmodern and is either reduced to an aspect of affect regulation or seen as contradicting basic values such as autonomy, self-determinati…
The death of the self in posttraumatic experience
Survivors of trauma commonly report feeling as though a part of themselves has died.This article provides a theoretical interpretation of this phenomenon, drawing on Waldenfels' notion of the split self.We argue that trauma gives rise to an explicit tension between the lived and corporeal body which is so profoundly distressing that it can be experienced by survivors as the death of part of oneself.We explore the ways in which this is manifest in…
Between essence and diversity: Challenges for phenomenological Autism research
Written from the perspective of phenomenological philosophy, this article evaluates recent claims that phenomenology has an important contribution to make in redressing the lack of insight into Autistic lived experience. As a philosophical discipline concerned with describing, understanding, and interpreting subjective and intersubjective experience, phenomenology is theoretically well-placed to foreground first-person Autistic perspectives in Au…
The Timeless Time of the Dead: At the Limits of Temporal Experience in Grief
Meaninglessness and monotony in pandemic boredom
Boredom is an affective experience that can involve pervasive feelings of meaninglessness, emptiness, restlessness, frustration, weariness and indifference, as well as the slowing down of time. An increasing focus of research in many disciplines, interest in boredom has been intensified by the recent Covid-19 pandemic, where social distancing measures have induced both a widespread loss of meaning and a significant disturbance of temporal experie…
Grief, alienation, and the absolute alterity of death
Disturbances to one's sense of self, the feeling that one has ‘lost a part of oneself’ or that one ‘no longer feels like oneself,’ are frequently recounted throughout the bereavement literature. Engaging Allan Køster's important contribution to this issue, this article reinforces his suggestion that, by rupturing the existential texture of self-familiarity, bereavement can result in experiences of estrangement that can be meaningfully understood …
Dietary intake and the insulin-like growth factor system: Effects of migration in two related populations in India and Britain with markedly different dietary intake
Background The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Objective We report the effects of total energy intake on the IGF system in two populations with markedly different dietary macronutrient intake and cardiovascular event rate. Design, subjects and setting Dietary macronutrient intake was measured in a specific Gujarati migrant community in Sandwell, UK ( n = 205) compar…
