A brief research report on the efficacy of a RAN training in elementary school age children
Numerous studies could prove that children with reading disorders show RAN deficits and that RAN is especially strongly connected to the automatization of word recognition. In contrast intervention studies so far have provided little convincing evidence for the trainability of RAN or even a transfer effect on reading competence. The aim of this study is therefore to evaluate the efficacy of an adaptive, software-based RAN-training in a group of 5…

Sustainability transitions in the agri-food system
The Ambivalent Translator
An influential strand within modern translation studies has drawn a portrait of the translator as a deeply ambivalent figure, charged with the challenging task of preserving the foreign of the original work within the new version, and thus as inevitably torn between two languages and cultures. The case of the first English translations of Freud's work, undertaken by Abraham Arden Brill, is used here to demonstrate that a detailed historical and p…
Textual Criticism, Psychoanalysis and the Historical Method. A Conversation
In this conversation, Carlo Ginzburg and Andreas Mayer address a number of epistemological issues central to the articulation of historiography and psychoanalysis: the notion of unintentional revelations (or involuntary testimonies), the relation between the specificity of cases and the generalizations implied by them, the problem of reopening old cases and of their proper contextualization, and the question to what extent translation can serve a…
Combining biophysical modeling and Polanyian theory pleads for a re-embedding of the agricultural system in 2050 in Austria
Land use faces a double challenge: to provide biomass to a growing population while contributing to climate-change mitigation. We here scrutinize this challenge by exploring the domestic option space for meeting the food demand of Austria in 2050 under the condition of no deforestation. To that end, we bring together a quantitative assessment based on biogeochemical models with a socio-political analysis based on the conceptual framework of (dis-…
Using the Secland model to project future land-use until 2050 under climate and socioeconomic change in the LTSER region Eisenwurzen (Austria)
Farmers in Europe act within guidelines set by agricultural programs, market demands and biophysical constraints. At the same time, they are social actors embedded in their respective family structures and individual lifestyles and preferences. We here present the socio-ecological land-use model SECLAND that provides an improved representation of the versatility in farmer's characteristics and subsequently its impact on land-use decision making. …
Agroecological measures and circular economy strategies to ensure sufficient nitrogen for sustainable farming
Partager des choses oniriques
Au lieu de comprendre la problématique de la psychanalyse freudienne face à l'histoire et aux sciences sociales selon une théorisation psychanalytique qui présente le rêve comme un objet asocial et décontextualisé, nous partons ici des pratiques d'écriture et de lecture qui, depuis l'auto-analyse freudienne, traitent les rêves comme des choses partagées. Les premières traductions américaines de la Traumdeutung mettent en évidence l'originalité du…
A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part II
Strategies toward ambitious climate targets usually rely on the concept of ‘decoupling’; that is, they aim at promoting economic growth while reducing the use of natural resources and GHG emissions. GDP growth coinciding with absolute reductions in emissions or resource use is denoted as ‘absolute decoupling’, as opposed to ‘relative decoupling’, where resource use or emissions increase less so than does GDP. Based on the bibliometric mapping in …

Greenhouse gas implications of mobilizing agricultural biomass for energy
Global bioenergy potentials have been the subject of extensive research and continued controversy. Due to vast uncertainties regarding future yields, diets and other influencing parameters, estimates of future agricultural biomass potentials vary widely. Most scenarios compatible with ambitious climate targets foresee a large expansion of bioenergy, mainly from energy crops that needs to be kept consistent with projections of agriculture and food…
Scrutinizing the Great Acceleration
Despite considerable advancements over the last couple of years, research on the Anthropocene still faces at least two challenges: (1) integrating different approaches from natural, social and cultural sciences, and (2) clarifying the political relevance of this concept. To address these challenges, we propose an interdisciplinary approach from Social Ecology and Political Economy which combines research on social metabolism with a historical app…
Measuring Progress towards a Circular Economy
The concept of a circular economy (CE) is gaining increasing attention from policy makers, industry, and academia. There is a rapidly evolving debate on definitions, limitations, the contribution to a wider sustainability agenda, and a need for indicators to assess the effectiveness of circular economy measures at larger scales. Herein, we present a framework for a comprehensive and economy-wide biophysical assessment of a CE, utilizing and syste…

Des rêves et des jambes
Ce n’est que vers la fin du xix e siècle qu’émerge un régime proprement expérimental de recherches sur les rêves. Il s’agira de reconstituer les premiers éléments de ce régime dans l’œuvre largement oublié du philosophe norvégien John Mourly Vold (1850-1907), en mettant en évidence ses rapports à la psychologie expérimentale allemande et la psychopathologie française. Les recherches personnelles de Mourly Vold, menées de 1876 jusqu’à sa mort en 1…

Écrire l’histoire de la psychanalyse
Nous partons de l’antinomie entre psychanalyse et historiographie qui a modelé et divisé en grande partie le champ de l’histoire de la psychanalyse. Selon de nombreux auteurs, la contextualisation historique de la psychanalyse déploierait une force critique en rapportant ses théories et techniques à d’autres réalités (sociales, économiques, culturelles). Or des telles approches risquent de réduire ou manquer la spécificité de leur objet. Au titre…
Du divan à la boîte à orgone
Le psychanalyste et médecin Wilhelm Reich, reconnu comme pionnier pour ses premiers travaux thérapeutiques et sexologiques sur l'orgasme, mais finalement condamné pour sa prétendue découverte d'une nouvelle énergie vitale, « l'orgone », est l'une des figures à la fois marquantes et dérangeantes de l'histoire des recherches sur la sexualité. Selon sa fameuse doctrine, l'orgasme constitue la source vitale des individus et des sociétés entraînant la…

Systemic Feedbacks in Global Land Use
Long-Term Trends in Global Material and Energy Use
The global metabolic transition
Since the World War II, many economies have transitioned from an agrarian, biomass-based to an industrial, minerals-based metabolic regime. Since 1950, world population grew by factor 2.7 and global material consumption by factor 3.7-71 Gigatonnes per year in 2010. The expansion of the resource base required by human societies is associated with growing pressure on the environment and infringement on the habitats of other species. In order to ach…

How Countries' Resource Use History Matters for Human Well-being – An Investigation of Global Patterns in Cumulative Material Flows from 1950 to 2010
Cumulative material flows provide indicators to quantify the ecological debt
There is ample evidence that an unabated growth in material consumption is likely to pass the earth system's source and sink capacities. In the face of limited resources, distributional questions increasingly gain importance. Material flow accounting is a methodological tool to trace biophysical patterns of disproportionate resource consumption across countries and the debt towards the environment, other parts of the world, and towards future gen…

Introspective Hypnotism and Freud's Self-Analysis
L’auto-analyse de Freud est considérée en histoire de la psychanalyse comme un événement fondateur : événement mythique à célébrer ou à dénoncer. L’auteur s’interdit d’inscrire les procédés freudiens dans le conflit entre historiographies hagiographique ou révisionniste. Il propose de situer la spécificité technique de l’auto-analyse dans le champ plus vaste d’autres techniques d’auto-observation en psychologie clinique, notamment dans un courant…

The Physiological Circus
The late nineteenth-century debates about forms of dressage and the correct representations of horses, using the circus as the major arena for testing and observation, provided a fertile ground for the development of Etienne-Jules Marey's physiology of locomotion. Marey claimed to revolutionize the field of locomotion studies with mechanically produced representations, yet, as this essay shows, his mechanical reform of the study of bodies in moti…

Grenzen der Empathie
The Psychotherapeutic Private Practice between Clinic and Laboratory
In order to transfer the Nancy school's suggestion method to other cultures, the experimental and therapeutic culture of hypnotism that had developed under the local particularities of the French clinics had to be reconfigured. Consistent with Hippolyte Bernheim's and Ambroise-Auguste Liébeault's emphasis on speech, the first suggestion therapists abandoned the practices of Parisian laboratory research in favor of a new setting that allowed the d…
Paris–Vienna
This chapter examines Sigmund Freud's attempt to transplant Jean-Martin Charcot's model of experimental hypnotism and the difficulties he encountered along the way. It looks at the debate in Vienna regarding hypnotism, focusing on the controversy about the closeness of the experimental hypnotist to the stage magnetists. It also considers the contrasting receptions given to hypnosis in Viennese psychiatry by analyzing the work of Theodor Meynert, …
Conclusion
This book has examined the experimental system designed by Jean-Martin Charcot and his group around hypnosis at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, along with the unconscious processes in the nervous system and how they were turned into controllable objects. It has also considered Hippolyte Bernheim's counterdemonstrations that sought to debunk the entire system by pointing to the uncontrollable factor of suggestion in Charcot's experiments. Sigmu…
Freud and the Vicissitudes of Private Practice
Aside from public controversies and scandals, there were obstacles standing in the way of the clinical transfer of the Nancy school's suggestion method to Vienna. When Richard von Krafft-Ebing published two hysteria cases that he had treated using Hippolyte Bernheim's method, he noted that “failure” was common in his Viennese psychiatric clinic. He attributed these failures in part to the difficulties of integrating a ward for patients suffering …
“Experimental Neuroses”
Since the late 1870s, there had been attempts to integrae hypnosis into a new experimental approach to understanding the nature of nervous diseases in French hospitals. The most ambitious representative of this new endeavor was the renowned French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot and his definition of “grand hypnotism.” Sigmund Freud's encounter with Charcot was a key impetus for the future development of psychoanalysis, but this episode was consi…
The Controversy between Paris and Nancy over Hypnotic Suggestion
Jean-Martin Charcot's demonstration of “experimental neuroses” at the Salpêtrière Hospital was challenged in 1884 by Hippolyte Bernheim (1840–1919), professor at the faculty of medicine in Nancy. Suspecting that the phenomena observed in Charcot's clinic were partly the result of the subjects' “expectant attention,” Bernheim conducted a series of demonstrations to show that the mental functioning of suggestion was more than a mere source of inter…
Experimentalism without a Laboratory
This chapter examines the distinctive features of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic setting and their variations between 1900 and 1914 and the reemergence of differences between the Paris and Nancy schools in this historical trajectory. It looks at the function of Freudian self-analysis, focusing on the interpretation of dreams and slips of the tongue which Freud developed as a writing exercise. It also considers how Freud detached his technique fro…

The Question of Lay Hypnosis
This chapter examines how the adherents of Jean-Martin Charcot and Hippolyte Bernheim addressed the question of lay hypnosis. More specifically, it discusses the Paris school's argument on the pathological character of the hypnotic state and the medical expertise required to master it, and the Nancy school's willingness to accept the possibilities of stage magnetism and a wider diffusion of the therapeutic technique of “suggestion” among non-medi…

Sciences of walking
Most people consider walking to be a natural and self-evident activity of everyday life. However, this familiarity turns out to be fragile in the face of the question "Do you know how you walk?" The mechanism of walking has puzzled scientists, doctors and writers for a long time. In my book Wissenschaft vom Gehen (Fischer, 2013), I have tried to provide a historical account of those forms of investigations of the human gait, some of the famous, o…
