Bringing the Hands to Mind: Embodied Attention in Chinese Buddhist and Latin Christian Hand Mnemonics
This article examines hand mnemonics as technologies of ritual practice in the medieval world, comparing an unstudied tenth-century Chinese Buddhist mnemonic from Dunhuang (Bibliothèque nationale de France MS Pelliot Chinois 3835) with Latin Christian “meditation hands” from thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Europe. Through phenomenological analysis of their attentional protocols – or how they “bring the hands to mind” – the article identifies cro…
D. W. Winnicott, Julian of Norwich, and the Good-Enough Mother/Mystic
This article examines the theological resonances in D. W. Winnicott’s theory of motherhood and infant development, bringing to light possible inheritances from the medieval mystical tradition.

Negative Capabilities: Investigating Apophasis in AI Text-to-Image Models
Through a case study of images generated by Swedish artist Steph Maj Swanson using an AI text-to-image (T2I) model, this article explores the strategy of negative weight prompting in T2I models as a phenomenon of apophasis.

Locating More: The Dialogical Gardenscapes of Thomas More and Ellis Heywood’s Il Moro
This essay explores the gardenscapes that Thomas More inhabited, and how these locations defined his writing and the critical canon. Through a study of both More’s works and the earliest posthumous recollections of the author in Ellis Heywood’s Il Moro, I consider how physical spaces and their respective environments of enclosure or exposure influenced More and posthumous remembrances of him
