‘Cold Stony Reality’: Subjectivity and Experience in Victorian Mountaineering

Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook Stony Brook the N=2(4) String Is Self-dual N=4 Yang-mills

N=2 string amplitudes, when required to have the Lorentz covariance of the equivalent N=4 string, describe a self-dual form of N=4 super Yang-Mills in 2+2 dimensions. Spin-independent couplings and the ghost nature of SO(2,2) spacetime make it a topological-like theory with vanishing loop corrections.

Objective Subjectivity: Allocentric and Egocentric Representation in Thought and Experience

Subjectivity in contemporary visualization of reality: re-visiting Ottoman miniatures

Though Ottoman miniatures are 2D representations, they carry the potential of conveying an individual’s perception in a more detailed manner as compared to 3D perspective renderings. In a typical 2-vanishing-point perspective; objects / subjects drawn in the foreground hide the ones that are located at their back: This phenomenon is called occlusion. In Ottoman miniatures there is no occlusion,...

Effects of experience and commercialisation on survival in Himalayan mountaineering: retrospective cohort study

OBJECTIVES To determine whether previous Himalayan experience is associated with a decreased risk of climbing death, and whether mountaineers participating in commercial expeditions differ in their risk of death relative to those participating in traditional climbs. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Expeditions in the Nepalese Himalayan peaks, from 1 January 1970 to the spring clim...

Inner experIence Is not psychosIs: BataIlle’s ethIcs and lacanIan suBjectIvIty

despite his personal proximity to Georges Bataille, jacques lacan makes very few direct references to his work. Indeed, the only mention of Bataille’s name in the 878 pages of the Écrits is in a footnote to “on a Question prior to any possible treatment of psychosis.”1 this article declares that daniel schreber, the prototypical psychotic, was exposed to inner experience by his insight that “Go...
