Generative AI and the Reconfiguration of Symbolic Authority
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT occupy a novel structural position within contemporary symbolic life. Rather than treating generative AI as a question of machine cognition or ethical governance alone, this article analyzes it as a transformation in the organization of authority, knowledge, and subjectivity. Drawing on Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, media theory, political economics, and the philosophy of technology, the articl…
Silent Separation
Emotional divorce—the dissolution of marital bonds despite cohabitation—remains under-researched in the Palestinian context. This qualitative article employed thematic analysis within a social-constructionist framework to examine 328 posts authored by 55 married Palestinian women in private Facebook support groups over sixty days. Six superordinate themes were identified: emotional disconnect, silent suffering, betrayal of trust, struggle for val…
Betrayal as Epistemic Rupture
Reframing “Spinsterhood” in Palestine
Architecture as cause
This paper offers a series of propositions concerning how our affective sensibilities are shaped and unshaped by architectural space. We will examine the connections between our pre‐reflective sense of atmospheres and other kinds of apprehension, including the psychoanalytic. The potentiality of spaces to influence feelings is what is meant by atmosphere. Our conceptual framework, then, will center on the question of how felt space can give rise …
You are only as healthy as your neighbour”
Drawing upon Judith Butler’s conceptualization of vulnerability, precariousness and precarity, this paper sheds light on the ontological foundation of the vulnerable human condition during the outbreak of the pandemic. While inspiring examples of cooperation among nations during the pandemic bring to the fore a transnational ethics of respect for differences, the pandemic turns out to be the unfortunate breeding ground for confrontation among som…
Empty Curriculum, Empty Mind
This conceptual essay places the Buddhist notion of sunyata, or emptiness, at the heart of the enterprise of teaching mindfulness with military veterans. It is a term that brings before us the necessity of having an open and “unknowing” mind, one that frees both students or clients and instructor from becoming mired in routinized, autopilot modes of psychotherapy delivery. While attention to the teaching of mindfulness has centered on the trainin…
Unthinking the Monster
Dirty Rotten Shame? The Value and Ethical Functions of Shame
Approaching the human condition of shame from an ethical point of view, this essay traces the problems involving the relationship between shame and guilt, and between shame and the social field. Drawing on a phenomenological approach to shame phenomena, the essay explores moral and philosophical theories of shame underpinning our humanistic and psychological appreciation of this most basic human experience, one that, as we suggest, has both posit…
Psychoanalysis and the Question of Violence
Psychoanalysis and the Question of Violence:From Masochism to Shame Michael Uebel (bio) The problem of how psychoanalysis addresses itself to the trauma of violence is arguably one of the most crucial questions facing the discipline at this historical moment. This essay will contend that the critical task of historicizing our ideas about violence holds a key to future theory and therapy. Offering a sustained historical emphasis, this essay reveal…
Measuring Dimensions of Spirituality in Chemical Dependence Treatment and Recovery
B(eing)-Students
B(eing)-Students Michael Uebel (bio) This essay draws a great deal of its energy from the historical intersection of humanist psychology and education, as well as from a philosophically-oriented set of ecological insights whose elaboration by marine biologist Edward Ricketts in the 1930s and 1940s prefigures a later emphasis on "getting into contact" with lived realities. The humanist and Gestalt psychologists of the 1950s and 1960s—e.g., Paul Go…
Chapter 2. Intervention Continued
This chapter describes the case management process-a process for assisting individuals and families with multiple service needs-and its use in various fields of practice including mental health, human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), and services for older adults. It addresses the role of the case manager as the person responsible for ensuring the timely and adequate delivery of suitable community-based s…
Desert Ecstasies
Travelers, fictional letter writers, and natural historians provide most of the material concerning the desert that was inherited directly by and incorporated into medieval writings. Fragments of the Alexander legend, such as the Epistola Alexandri ad Aristotelem, functioned as a kind of conduit through which ancient and late-antique material was transmitted to the Middle Ages. In the Alexander material, one crucial bit of knowledge passed on to …
Muslim Monstrosity
In 1190, as Roger of Howden recorded in his chronicle, Richard I stopped at Messina on his way to the Holy Land to visit a certain Cistercian abbot named Joachim, who was earning a reputation as a wise prophet, a gifted interpreter of the Book of Revelation.3 Richard and his retinue of churchmen "took great delight" in hearing a detailed, animated description of the seven-headed dragon of Antichrist waiting to devour the faithful, the offspring o…
Ecstatic Transformation
This book studies the way in which medieval ways of knowing the Oriental 'other' were constructed around the idea of a utopic East as located in the legend and Letter of Prester John (c. 1160). The bi

Striptopia
Considering the possibility that there might be something utopic about strip clubs, this paper traces the relays between power and powerlessness, feminism and antifeminism, utopia and dystopia within a broad psychoanalytic framework. It is interested in analyzing the social and psychological stakes for the male heterosexual consumer of strip culture. Strip clubs, this paper argues, are the special site of a masculine debasement amounting to a kin…
G-Strings and Sympathy
Based on her experiences as a stripper in a city she calls Laurelton—a southeastern city renowned for its strip clubs—anthropologist Katherine Frank provides a fascinating insider’s account of the personal and cultural fantasies motivating male heterosexual strip club regulars. Given that all of the clubs where she worked prohibited physical contact between the exotic dancers and their customers, in G-Strings and Sympathy Frank asks what—if not s…

Medieval Desert Utopia
Maybe the desert is the pulverized beyond of the question: at the same time its disproportionate humiliation and triumph
Imperial Fetishism
Taking as its focus stories of India's legendary ruler, Prester John, this chapter suggests something of the social and psychic relays between the utopic imaginary of twelfth-century colonialism in India and the geopolitical crisis of twentieth-century imperialism in Africa. Condensed in the twelfth-century version of the legend of Prester John, and some of its important late medieval and early modern incarnations, is a narrative of Western Europ…
Race and the Subject of Masculinities
Although in recent years scholars have explored the cultural construction of masculinity, the ways in which masculinity intersects with other categories of identity, particularly those of race and ethnicity, have largely been ignored. The essays in Race and the Subject of Masculinities address this concern and focus on the social construction of masculinity - black, white, ethnic, gay, and straight - in terms of the often complex and dynamic rela…
