Echoes from "Fight Club"

چکیده
This work addresses Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Adjustment Day as a satirical critique of the political radicalization USA and warning about dangerous ideological effects narratives may have on our posthumanist understanding reality. To reach his purposes, novelist combines three stylistic strategies. First, he creates story that exposes condition American politics, dangers radicalized correctness, present risks populist revolutions. Secondly, uses explicit metafictional references to Fight Club other literary works critical theories warn power narrative can have. Finally, Palahniuk departs from minimalist style used in earlier most well-known fiction favor heterodiegetic omniscience voice that, combined with multiple internal focalizations, endorses plural, non-categorical

Cost-benefit analysis: the first real rule of fight club?
Competition is ubiquitous among social animals. Vying against a conspecific to achieve a particular outcome often requires one to act aggressively, but this is a costly and inherently risky behavior. So why do we aggressively compete, or at the extreme, fight against others? Early work suggested that competitive aggression might stem from an innate aggressive tendency, emanating from subcortica...
متن کاملT6SS: The bacterial "fight club" in the host gut
The mammalian gut is home to a densely populated community of microorganisms that not only provide their host with nutritional benefits but also offer protection against foreign pathogens [1]. Since the gut is an environment limited in both space and nutrients, these microbes have evolved multiple mechanisms and strategies to either coexist or compete with other organisms that share the same re...
متن کاملYou do not talk about Fight Club if you do not notice Fight Club: Inattentional blindness for a simulated real-world assault
Inattentional blindness-the failure to see visible and otherwise salient events when one is paying attention to something else-has been proposed as an explanation for various real-world events. In one such event, a Boston police officer chasing a suspect ran past a brutal assault and was prosecuted for perjury when he claimed not to have seen it. However, there have been no experimental studies...
متن کاملT1 Maps From Shifted Echoes and Stimulated Echoes
Theory The proposed sequence is shown in Figure 1. The basic idea is to obtain a spin echo (SE) and a stimulated echo (STE) with different T1 weighting for T1 calculation. In contrast to the FastPACE technique, both echoes were acquired separately. Then, only magnitude images are required which allows for exploiting the Half Fourier technique and using phased array coils. Acquisition of the tru...
متن کاملEchoes from a Warped Dimension
The Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, based on a slice of warped 5D spacetime, was originally introduced to explain the apparent hierarchy between the scales of weak and gravitational interactions. Over the past decade, this model has been extended to provide a predictive theory of flavor, as well as to address various constraints from precision data. In this talk, we will present a brief review of t...
