Investigating the Use of the Fast Health Care Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Standard to Support Data Activities Across the PCORnet® Infrastructure
BACKGROUND: Institutions that participate in PCORnet® transform their local electronic health record (EHR) data into the PCORnet® Common Data Model (CDM), which is then used to generate data extracts for PCORnet® Studies. PCORnet® Studies can also include institutions that do not participate in PCORnet, and for these organizations, the cost of instantiating a PCORnet® CDM can be prohibitive. Fast Health care Interoperability Resources (FHIR) prov…
The Petriverse of Italo Calvino
This essay considers Calvino’s Six Memos and other works in the context of the ‘geologic turn’ in contemporary environmental humanities. The introductory section shows how Calvino anticipated key notions now becoming prevalent in this work, including an ontology and ethics that respects “the unity of all things, animate or inanimate” ( Memos ). The next section, “Worlds Composed of Rocks,” rereads Calvino texts through a geologic lens—it treats “…
Framing Water Infrastructure for Climate Resilience
As the effects of climate change become more acute, the search for solutions to a growing infrastructure crisis becomes increasingly important. In this commentary, we offer some approaches to guide our collective thinking about the importance of governance regimes related to water infrastructure, as well as a framework for ways to think about infrastructure solutions that move beyond traditional “gray” solutions to more natural solutions that can…
Breaking Earth
Breaking Earth Alexis Rider (bio) and Paul A. Harris (bio) “He takes all that, the strata and the magma and the people and the power, in his imaginary hands. Everything. He holds it. He is not alone. The earth is with him. Then he breaks it.” ― N. K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season Breaking Earth, a collection of visual and written essays brought together for this special issue of SubStance, is a disruptive engagement with concepts and terms that have …

Anthropocenic Temporalities
Black Rage Confronts the Law
In 1971, Paul Harris pioneered the modern version of the black rage defense when he successfully defended a young black man charged with armed bank robbery. Dubbed one of the most novel criminal defenses in American history by Vanity Fair, the black rage defense is enormously controversial, frequently dismissed as irresponsible, nothing less than a harbinger of anarchy. Consider the firestorm of protest that resulted when the defense for Colin Fe…

Introduction
IntroductionRock Records* Paul A. Harris (bio), Richard Turner (bio), and A.J. Nocek (bio) Rock Records explores the intricate entanglements between Anthropos and Geos through a wide range of writings about stone(s), from media theory and ecophilosophy to the role of stones in art and the aesthetics of viewing stones. Authors engage the activity, vitality, and relationality of lithic matter and articulate multiple modalities of 'geo-affection,' a…

Viewing Stones
Viewing Stones:A Virtual Exhibition* Paul A. Harris (bio) and Richard Turner (bio) The term "viewing stones" is primarily associated with two traditions of stone appreciation: Chinese Gongshi (or scholar's rocks) and Japanese suiseki. Today, viewing-stone associations around the world take inspiration from these traditions and are creating new ways of displaying stones. Petraphiles, whether ancient or contemporary, are often drawn to express thei…
Trump and American Fascism
The election of Donald Trump reflects the rise of a Right-wing nationalist movement. Central to Trump’s appeal has been his advocacy of anti-immigrant, racist, and misogynist ideas. At its core, his ruling power bloc consists of neo-liberal fundamentalists, the religious Right, and white nationalists. There are similarities between the new power bloc and fascism, and there are many who see Trump’s administration as such. Nevertheless, the new pre…

Reviewed by: Stone: An Ecology of the Inhuman by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen Paul A. Harris Cohen, Jeffrey Jerome. Stone: An Ecology of the Inhuman. Minneapolis and London: U of Minnesota P, 2015. 366pp. In this landmark book, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen combines and culminates the two strands of his substantial scholarly work: ecology and Medieval and Early Modern studies. Stone is ambitiously synthetic and syncretic, framed not as critical exegesis but “a th…

IntroductionDavid Mitchell in the Labyrinth of Time Paul A. Harris (bio) "In the same way that my novels are built of hyperlinked novellas, I'm sort of building what I've taken to calling in a highfalutin way the 'uberbook' out of hyperlinked novels, because I'm a megalomaniac, and I like the idea of maximum scale," Mr. Mitchell said. (Alter) Oulipians are "Rats who build the labyrinth from which they propose to escape." —Raymond Queneau (Mathews…
David Mitchell in the Laboratory of Time
Paul Harris: Thank you for agreeing to do this interview for the special issue of SubStance, “David Mitchell in the Labyrinth of Time.” Your fiction is mind-bending and thought provoking in all kinds of ways. One particularly fascinating aspect of your work is its treatment of time. I’d like to begin by asking if you have an interest in time as such – is time something that you think about, or are there ideas, images, or theories of time that you…
Richard Jackson
Richard Jackson:Between the Real and the Relational Magdalena Wisniowska (bio) Every once in a while, there occurs a certain shift in contemporary thought, which makes some kind of a cultural diagnosis necessary, perhaps even urgent. In recent years, we could observe such a shift as taking place in the continental tradition of philosophy, where the impact of the “Speculative Turn,” “Speculative Realism” or “Materialism” has been substantial.1 Tho…
David Mitchell in the Labyrinth of Time
To date, David Mitchell’s fiction comprises six adventurously heterogeneous novels. Three are “cosmopolitan”1 in scope and structure, composed of sections that skip freely around in time and space: Ghostwritten (2001), Cloud Atlas (2004), and The Bone Clocks (2014). There are two very different coming-of-age tales of teenage boys: Number9dream (2003), set in Tokyo, reads like a Haruki Murakami novel unfolding inside a video game; and the semi-aut…
Gravid with the ancient future
I One of the striking generic features of the emerging field of Big History is a closing glance toward the future. Summed up by the title of Fred Speir’s Big History and the Future of Humanity (2010), this generic gesture shows up in the “Big History Project,” a free online course for secondary schools, whose final unit is entitled “The Future” and features Henry Louis Gates and Bill Gates offering their prognostications on the future of the eart…
From Time's Boomerang to Pointillist Mosaic
In a Wall Street Journal article appearing prior to the U.S. premiere of the film Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell addresses the challenges of turning his complex novel into a film. Revealing that he considered the novel’s “there-and-back” structure as “unfilmable,” he comments favorably on the new structure devised by the screenwriters/directors Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta) and Tom Tykwer (Run, Lola, Run; Heaven): “It …

I suppose we have the missionaries to thank for naming these mountains “the Japan Alps.” Why do people always have to compare things with abroad? (Like Kagoshima, the Naples of Japan, that always s…
Posthuman Temporality
This paper reads David Mitchell’s figuration of the posthuman sub ject, specifically its curious temporality, in relation to Heidegger’s notion of Dasein as itself an instantiation of futurity. In Being and Time Heidegger offers a way of coming to understand the human as temporally fixed as both futural and as a site of an aporetic historicality: in other words Being comes to know itself as a repetition of a prior—if not an a priori—repetition: “…

Nothing
In introducing this enigmatic topic, I often begin with a riddle that points to its elusive, mobile character: What is greater than God, more powerful than evil, the rich have it, the poor need it, and if you eat it, you die?—Nothing. In the multiple contexts in which I've navigated the topic of nothing (course, conference, collection of essays, special issue), it has proved a subject that provokes mirth, irony, and skepticism. When I have told c…
Moral Progress & Politics
T. H. Green has become something of a neglected figure among American political theorists, perhaps because his focus on the social character of man is not altogether compatible with some of the more extreme versions of liberal individualism now in vogue. This article examines Green's conception of moral progress and the ways in which he thought political institutions and political activity contribute to it. The author argues that Green's theory o…

Egypt
In 1884, in the course of a speech welcoming to the French Academy the engineer of the Suez Canal, Ferdinand de Lesseps, Ernest Renan observed that ‘this defile not only connects two inland seas, but it acts as the channel of communication to the oceans of the world. So great is its importance that, in a maritime war, everyone will try to occupy it. You have thus marked the site of a great future battlefield.’1
Changing New Zealand's electoral system
Electoral reform in New Zealand
On 6 November 1993 New Zealand held a general election using the first‐past‐the‐post system. At the same time a definitive referendum was held to decide whether New Zealand should adopt a German‐style system of proportional representation for parliamentary elections, or whether it should continue to use first‐past‐the‐post. In the first of two articles on the Referendum Paul Harris surveys the results of the polls for Representation. The next iss…

The Invention of Forms
Georges Perec's Life A User's Manual (La Vie mode d'emploi) has been hailed since its inception as a unique achievement, primarily because of its incredible formal and the sprawling range of its contents. The daunting set of arbitrary rules and self-imposed constraints that stipulate the text's raw materials catch the writer up in what strikes one as a neurotic net, an intricate artifice that stretches his intelligence to its ludic limits. Seemin…

From Michael Moore to JFK Reloaded
Traditionally, documentary has been presented as an objective portrayal of fact: the actualité. Recently, a new breed of ‘dramatic’ documentary that uses coercion; persuasion, and emotional manipulation has emerged to critical and commercial success. Contemporaneously, interactive entertainment has evolved to the point at which near-realism can be portrayed in real time. This, taken alongside the immersive interaction in which the industry specia…

Spiritual Politics After Deleuze
Spiritual Politics After DeleuzeIntroduction Joshua Delpech-Ramey (bio) and Paul A Harris16 (bio) Religious discourse now permeates the theoretical humanities. At least since Jacques Derrida's insistence upon complex connections between deconstruction and negative theology,1 there has been an onslaught of writing connecting the demise of traditional metaphysics to the apotheosis of modernity, and a general despair over the possibility of any pure…
Deleuze's Cinematic Universe of Light
Deleuze's Cinematic Universe of LightA Cosmic Plane of Luminance Paul A. Harris (bio) Over the past several years, I have been rereading and writing about Deleuze in the context of developing a concept and practice I have christened "itinerant spirituality."1 Itinerant spirituality is nomadic and contingent—it does not happen in any specific kind of space, and depends to a large extent on circumstance and spontaneity. Itinerant spirituality could…
