“Neuronal ideology”
This paper analyses the potential neoliberal biases found in one of the most influential theories of consciousness in contemporary neuroscience, the Global Neuronal Workspace hypothesis (GNW). Philosopher Catherine Malabou argues that there is a mirroring between managerial discourse and that of contemporary neurobiology. Surprisingly, there is scant linguistic work on the ideological form of neurobiological discourse. In response, I empirically …
What happens to thought in a cyborg body? On Brain ships, embodiment and posthuman gest
This article uses some of the complexities occasioned by the beings Anne McCaffrey envisioned as ‘shell people’ – cyborgs whose inert bodies are encased in titanium shells while the spaceships that surround them become bodies proper – in order to address some key theoretical issues with the relationship between Thought, embodiment and plasticity. It borrows from Catherine Malabou’s work on neuronal plasticity and cerebrality, as well as Deleuze a…
Figuring out Benjamin's 'angel of history
The image of the ‘angel of history’ forms the centrepiece of one of Walter Benjamin’s most famous essays: ‘On the Concept of History’. This text has a troubled exegetical history, with numerous competing interpretations attempting to explain what Benjamin really meant. Few, with the exceptions of Timothy Bahti and Sigrid Weigel, have stopped to examine the fragments’ rhetorical structure or to ask what it is about ‘On the Concept of History’ that…
Training teachers in maintaining equity in the micro-moments of a mathematical dialogue
Khōra - plus de métaphore
Plato's Timaeus is a creation story that has baffled and intrigued numerous generations of philosophers. The central section, dubbed by John Sallis the ‘chorology’, deals with the triton genos, a third kind that comes somewhere in between the intelligible eidos and the sensible world. In Jacques Derrida's elaboration, this inbetweenness knits together Platonic metaphysics and also presents its most radical challenge. For this paper, the most inte…
The future is plastic
This article investigates Catherine Malabou’s claims to have produced some form of beyond of deconstruction with her reworking of the Hegelian concept of “plasticity” (Plastizität). In the light of Malabou’s critique of the unsuitability of the Derridean non-concept of “text” for being a suitable metaphor for neuronal functioning in her Plasticité, I turn this question back on Malabou’s own work; that is to say, this article will examine what the…
