Moralised Eating and Identity Work in Digital Wellness Culture
Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is increasingly understood as a morally saturated health orientation in which dietary restraint is organised through ideals of purity, discipline, and self-worth. Building on social theory that treats health as a cultural project and a site of identity governance, this study theorises ON as moral identity work enacted and contested in digital environments. Using a large-scale qualitative design integrating thematic corpus …
Reclaiming Agency Through Birth
Objective This study examines whether mode of birth is associated with postpartum psychological distress among women who experienced high-risk versus low-risk pregnancies. It adds an ethical perspective to the literature by considering how medicalization of birth may differentially affect women’s autonomy and well-being across pregnancy risk contexts. Method In a cohort of 138 women who gave birth at a northern Israeli hospital (January to Septem…

Purity as power
Orthorexia nervosa (ON) - a pathological obsession with healthy eating - has emerged as a cultural pathology intricately woven into neoliberal ideologies and biopolitical regimes. This paper critically analyses ON through the lens of power, foregrounding Foucault's concept of biopower and contemporary theories of moral governance, digital surveillance and gendered health expectations. It argues that the rise of ON is not merely a psychological ph…
A differential impact of action–effect temporal contiguity on different measures of response inhibition in the Go\No-Go and Stop-signal paradigms
Response inhibition refers to suppressing a prepotent motor response and is often studied and discussed as an act of cognitive control. Much less attention was given to the potential contribution of motor control processes to response inhibition. Accumulated empirical findings show that a perceptual effect temporally contiguous with a response improves motor control performance. In the current study, we followed this work by manipulating action–e…
The destructive nature of severe and ongoing trauma
This paper argues that severe and ongoing trauma (SOT) can lead to impairment at the level of the minimal self (MS), which is the core element in the structure of subjectivity. In the long-term, such impairments can result in complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and schizophrenia. The paper tackles this issue while trying to create meaningful bridges between phenomenology and neuroscience
