Heretical patagogy
This essay imagines how the “quasi-philosophy” of Alfred Jarry (1873–1907) might function as a fulcrum for overturning the legacy of “standard” thinking and writing now profuse within the Educacene, or rather, the epoch of globalized educational standardization. This essay will consider how Jarry’s pataphysics or science of imaginary solutions initiates a new image of thought by suspending the Educacene’s naming of reality and by inducing alien a…
Game Preserves: Digital Animals at the Brink of the Post-Anthropocene
As we enter what scientists are calling the 6th mass extinction of life on this planet, we are forced to confront the prospect of a future world without animals. Despite the disappearance of ‘real’ animals in the wake of global ecocatastrophe however, animals proliferate in the ‘Anthropocene’ imaginary, and in particular, through contemporary video games as they reimagine the future relationship of humans and animal life increasingly withdrawn fr…
No Man's Land: Mutant Natures in Canadian Eco-Horror Film
This essay aims to analyze the significance of Canadian 'eco-horror' film within the so-called 'Anthropocene' era, wherein it functions as a form of nostalgia and vehicle for imagining the liberation of nature from under the yoke of cultural repression. Assuming Canadian director Adam MacDonald's critically lauded natural horror film Backcountry as its centerpiece, this essay surveys eco-horror's reversal of heteropatriarchal masculinity and sett…
Decluttering the Pandemic: Marie Kondo, Minimalism, and the 'Joy' of Waste
Born largely from discourses on environmental sustainability, the contemporary minimalist movement has produced a new relationship to consumer objects. Where the accumulation of objects once conferred the status of wealth and prosperity under capitalism, minimalism aims to rethink the object as a spiritual extension of our inner lives. This is nowhere as evident than in the writing of Marie Kondo, whose teachings on 'joyous' decluttering has enra…
‘No satisfaction, no fun, no future’: Futures thinking in black metal
In this article, we aim to think the burgeoning theoretical orientation known as accelerationism alongside black metal, particularly as black metal harnesses accelerationist strategies of negation and opposition on behalf of surveying a world out-of-step with its ‘normative’ conceptualization. We claim that the relationship of accelerationism and black metal supports a stronger understanding of black metal’s ‘futurist thinking’ in that each culti…
The Catalogue of Spiritual Care Instruments: A Scoping Review
Spiritual care has been a growing focus in international healthcare research over the last decades. The approaches to spiritual care are many and derive from many different medical fields and different cultural contexts and often remain unknown across healthcare areas. This points to a potential knowledge gap between existing instruments and the knowledge and use of them cross-disciplinarily and cross-culturally, and thus best practice insights a…
Promoting Extreme Violence: Visual and Narrative Analysis of Select Ultraviolent Terror Propaganda Videos Produced by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis) in 2015 and 2016
This paper examines aspects of violent, traumatic terrorist video propaganda produced by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) within the theoretical confines of abjection and the use of utopian/dystopian themes. These themes have been present in a number of studies that have examined consumption of the dark dystopic variety. We seek to elucidate on the use of specific techniques and narratives that are relatively new to the global propagand…
Vox dei, Vox demonium: A Cursory Exploration of “Sound Thinking” in Horror Film
Vox dei, vox demonium marks a cursory attempt to consider a kind of “sound thinking” largely singular to horror film. The essay focuses in particular on the status of “metaphysical subjectivity” as it is modulated by the “sound thinking” of such horror films as The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, amongst others dealing specifically with audio conceptualizations of demonic possession and invocation
Dark tourism, abjection and blood: A festival context
Consuming abjection: An Examination of Death and Disgust in the Black Metal Scene
This paper examines abjection in the context of the extreme (black) metal scene. Moving beyond the ritual-heavy, community work that dominates much of the death-related consumption literature, our study pieces together death, violence, misanthropy, blood and social tensions to create novel insights into the consumption of disgust. Based on our interview and participant observation methodologies, we present work that explains how death-oriented co…
The bibliometric analysis of scholarly production: How great is the impact?
Bibliometric methods or "analysis" are now firmly established as scientific specialties and are an integral part of research evaluation methodology especially within the scientific and applied fields. The methods are used increasingly when studying various aspects of science and also in the way institutions and universities are ranked worldwide. A sufficient number of studies have been completed, and with the resulting literature, it is now possi…

Creative Expression, Creative Education: Creativity as a Primary Rationale for Education by Robert Kelly and Carl Leggo
Forgoing the popular maxim, I begin this review approaching Creative Expression, Creative Education by way of its cover.Juxtaposed against a background of diagrammatic doodles, improvised musical compositions, and impromptu screenplay edits, birds plot variegated lines of flight.Over the course of Creative Expression, Creative Education's 22 essays, the imagistic concept of the cover insists: this collection captures creativity in the act of comp…
Psychoanalytic Implications for the “Consulting Cure”
From October 2004 to June 2006, I worked as a curriculum leader across 18 elementary schools as part of an Alberta Incentive for School Improvement project focused on the reform question: How does inquiry transform learning environments? As a curriculum leader, my role included, but was not limited to, the introduction, articulation, and development of the project’s main tenets and goals among the teaching staffs of participating schools. In supp…
Bibliometric Methods: Pitfalls and Possibilities
Bibliometric studies are increasingly being used for research assessment. Bibliometric indicators are strongly methodology‐dependent but for all of them, various types of data normalization are an indispensable requirement. Bibliometric studies have many pitfalls; technical skill, critical sense and a precise knowledge about the examined scientific domain are required to carry out and interpret bibliometric investigations correctly.
Generativity: Lived Experience as Curricular Content
This article explores notions of work and emergence in relation to our experience of being in the world. The article takes the notion of work as something more than the mere occupations of students, reorienting it in the literature of Zen Buddhism, Marxism, and chaos mathematics. Lived experience seeks to shed light on the growing dissociation between student and curricular content and provides a concrete, practical example that suggests the poss…
Microscopic age determination of human skeletons including an unknown but calculable variable
Histomorphometric semi‐automatic image analysis of cross‐sections of 101 femoral diaphyseal bone sections were performed to reconsider to what degree osteon remodelling in the outer cortex is affected by age. The data were analysed statistically using the generalized least squares method. The model estimation, which includes the covariance matrix of four single equation residuals, improves the accuracy of age determination. The standard deviation…
