A Psychoanalytic-Philosophical Investigation of Climate Disavowal
In this paper, the distance between climate science (what is known of climate heating and its consequences) and human modes of reacting to it, is approached in terms of psychoanalytic disavowal. Individuals' resistance to scientific knowledge about a crisis that severely questions future life on the planet, is considered here a resistance to knowledge about death as immanent to human life. This not-wanting-to-know accounts in affirmative terms fo…
The Affirmation of Death
Finitude as an affirmative moment is what stands at the center of this paper. While death cannot be represented or conceptualized, it is present in events of death in the life of an individual and of a society. Here we look at formations split between the presencing of death and death’s denial or deferral as ways of symbolizing death as imminently present and certain for those who live. Death is affirmed as what cannot be known, represented, or i…

Aesthetic community
Taste, as a faculty of aesthetic appreciation, involves an individual, and yet assumes a community. In this article, a distinctly singular mode of being attuned to objects of taste is shown to be conditioned by the consent of others and by being-with others, thereby constituting what is named here an ‘aesthetic community.’ This idea of an aesthetic community is traced back to Kant's sensus communis and to Heidegger's notion of preservation: for b…
Continuing Bonds and Psychosocial Functioning in a Recently Bereaved Pet Loss Sample
Research has shown that pet loss can be a devastating and complex experience for some human survivors, yet this loss may not be fully recognized by friends, partners, or acquaintances as a significant bereavement. The objectives of the current study were to consider how continuing bonds (CB) expressions relate to psychosocial functioning and to identify perceived social constraints as well as areas of resilience associated with efforts to cope wi…
Type of Continuing Bonds Expression and Its Comforting Versus Distressing Nature: Implications for Adjustment Among Bereaved Mothers
This study investigated type of continuing bonds (CB) expression and its comforting versus distressing nature in relation to psychosocial adjustment among bereaved mothers. Twenty-eight mothers whose child had died within the previous five years participated in a CB interview in which they rated the extent they used each of 11 different types of CB expression during the past month and the degree to which they experienced each of the CB expression…
Therapeutic Implications of Continuing Bonds Expressions following the Death of a Pet
Through the exploration of 12 continuing bonds expressions (CBE), this current study investigated the grief reaction and continuing impact of the death of a pet. Thirty-three individuals were interviewed to determine the degree of connection maintained with the deceased pet and how that affects their coping. Findings emphasize that the majority of respondents frequently maintain ongoing meaningful ties with their deceased pet through the use of C…
The Relationship between Grief Adjustment and Continuing Bonds for Parents Who Have Lost a Child
This article presents findings from a study on the impact of a child's death on parents. We explored the prominence and adaptiveness of parents' continuing bonds expressions, psychological adjustment, and grief reactions. A qualitative case study methodology was used to describe six cases. Participants were classified into two groups based on scores on the Inventory of Complicated Grief. Commonalities in themes on the Continuing Bonds Interview a…
The real as limit to interpretation
Le courant post-moderne de la philosophie, de la semiotique et du structuralisme se preoccupe particulierement de la notion d'objet dans l'activite interpretative de la pratique discursive. La conception de l'objet fait emerger le probleme de ses relations avec la textualite. Ainsi il existe une correlation entre l'approche de l'interpretation et les positions prises quant au statut accorde a l'objet dans le jeu de l'interpretation. L'A. s'intere…

Possible worlds in literary theory: A game in interdisciplinarity
Paradigm Shift in Plot Models: An Outline of the History of Narratology
The short history of narratology (i.e., narrative theory inspired by classical structuralism) has proven to be long enough for the discipline to undergo some substantial paradigmatic changes. Furthermore, although on the surface narratology manifests a relatively coherent and almost monolithic theoretical project, it includes in fact diverse methods and orientations. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of a paradigm change in narrato…

Completing the Incompleteness of Fictional Entities
Fictional entities are inherently incomplete because it is impossible construct a fictional object by specifying its characteristics and relations in every detail (Heintz 1979). This notion of incompleteness relates the logico-semantic status of fictional entities. The absence of a complete referent entails indeterminate areas and an impossibility verify properties of the fictional entity not attributed it by the fictional text itself. This absen…
Space in Fiction
Space, the domain of settings and surroundings of events, characters and objects in literary narrative, along with other domains (story, character, time and ideology), constitutes a fictional universe. For the purpose of describing some features of fictional spaces, I assume that space is a semantic construct built with linguistic structures employed by the literary text. Yet, this discussion is based on the assumption that the components of a fi…
