Abstract:
A work of art induces the recipient towards cognition and creativity by means of experience of cathartic emotion and the pain of convulsion. Art is a guide for life creativity which helps people make a metaphysical effort for overcoming despair. As the result of the conducted research a model has been developed of the emergence, development and realization of cathartic emotion. All the elements of the model are inwardly interconnected and mutually connected and are in the condition of a dialogue between the polarities of manifestations, the intensity of emotion, in a cause-and-effect relationship, in the connection of the invariant with the variant parts. The content and realization of the levels of experiencing cathartic emotion are disclosed in the dialogue of polar opposite fundamental principles of existence: fear vs. joy, compassion vs. pleasure, death vs. revival. This is what comprises the content and semantic signification of catharsis. Art is not exhausted by cathartic impact in the sense of purification, the most important thing is in the emergence of the insurmountable desire for creative activity. In other words, it is the reception of a work of art, the effort and artistry, the disclosure of the best in oneself, the generation of the creative gift, the emergence of the necessity for creative activity. On the essential level catharsis presents the outcome of the conflict, the resolution of the contradiction by means of the author’s creative insight and the admission of the audience into the highest level of understanding and sensation of the conflicts of life. It is particularly an aesthetic attitude towards the world created by perception of art. The artistic experience creates the possibility of resolving the eternal contradictions-antinomies of life as an infinite process of search for solutions of insoluble problems and an alternate perception of life and its meaning.

Abstract:
Summary: The cathartic effect of suicide is traditionally defined as the existence of a rapid, significant, and spontaneous decrease in the depressive symptoms of suicide attempters after the act. This study was designed to investigate short-term variations, following a suicide attempt by self-poisoning, of a number of other variables identified as suicidal risk factors: hopelessness, impulsivity, personality traits, and quality of life. Patients hospitalized less than 24 hours after a deliberate (moderate) overdose were presented with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression and Impulsivity Rating Scales, Hopelessness scale, MMPI and World Health Organization's Quality of Life questionnaire (abbreviated versions). They were also asked to complete the same scales and questionnaires 8 days after discharge. The study involved 39 patients, the average interval between initial and follow-up assessment being 13.5 days. All the scores improved significantly, with the exception of quality of life and three out of the eight personality traits. This finding emphasizes the fact that improvement is not limited to depressive symptoms and enables us to identify the relative importance of each studied variable as a risk factor for attempted suicide. The limitations of the study are discussed as well as in particular the nongeneralizability of the sample and setting.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to examine several categories of violence in Roald Dahl’s children’s fiction, with the background of fairy tale theory. Roald Dahl’s children’s fiction has raised criticism, and the grounds of it are reconsidered in this essay. Violence is a declining feature of children’s literature, and the sometimes-excessive use of it in Dahl’s fiction is conspicuous, therefore. If Dahl’s children’s fiction is located in the genre of fairy tales, however, and the violence analysed as a device inherited from this tradition, its function and effect become clear, as shown in this essay. In a study of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), The Witches (1985), and Matilda (1988), I find that violence in Dahl’s fiction has three main effects; cautionary, entertaining, and cathartic effects. I also find that the burlesque quality of violence in Dahl’s work makes the charges of criticism less meaningful.

Full text
Abstract:
Turkey vultures were observed foraging alone and in groups of up to 16 individuals. Vigilance behavior was quantified by monitoring 4 aspects of vulture foraging behavior (proportion ofhead up time, number of head raises per minute, time interval between head raises, and proportion of time spent foraging during foraging bouts). Although solitary foragers spent 91% of their foraging bouts actively foraging, a greater proportion (47%)of their foraging time was spent with their heads up compared to individuals occurring in groups (<29%). Similarly, individuals in small groups (2-3 and 5-7) were more vigilant than individuals in large groups (8-16). Solitary foraging vultures raised their heads at a significantly higher rate than those foraging in groups of 5-7 or 8-16 and had significantly shorter intervals between head raises than group foragers. Large group foragers were able to minimize their vulnerability to predation because at least one head was up during the entire foraging bout. Results of this study were consistent with the 'many-eyes, hypothesis that individuals in a foraging group can feed at a faster rate by reducing vigilance time as the number of individuals scanning for predators increases (Pulliam, H. R. 1973. J. Theor. Biol. 38: 419-422).Key Words: turkey vulture, vulture, vigilance, foraging behavior, group size, Indiana.

Abstract:
This article examines the effects of participation in transitional justice rituals. Truth Commissions and trials have instrumental goals of distributive justice, and serve as rituals given their marked symbolic character, helping to achieve reconciliation and the reconstruction of social norms. Evidence suggests that participation in trials increases negative emotion and negative emotional climate. However participants in such rituals have evidenced increased empowerment, despite conditions of limited justice and reparation. Moreover, participation in Gacaca or popular trials in Rwanda, decreases shame in victims, and decreases negative stereotypes and increases individualization of out-groups. Finally, a collective analysis of 16 Latin America nations found that trials and a successful Truth Commission reinforces respect for human rights.
El análisis de las experiencias de la Comisión de la Verdad y la Reconciliación en Sudáfrica, los juicios populares o Gacaca en Ruanda y los rituales de los procesos de transición a la democracia concluye que la participación en comisiones y juicios implica un coste emocional para los participantes (aumenta la emocionalidad negativa y los síntomas) y aumenta el clima emocional negativo en la sociedad, pero también aumenta la sensación de control y eficacia de los participantes, disminuye algunas emociones negativas en los sobrevivientes como la vergüenza, y aumenta los estereotipos positivos y una visión más diferenciada del exogrupo. En países de América Latina donde se han desarrollado procesos y comisiones de verdad más eficaces, se constató una mejora del respeto a los derechos humanos.

Abstract:
It is a commonplace to see the First World War as a major caesura in German and European history. This article records the war years from 1914–1918 in Germany. Not least, such an interpretation can rely on the perceptions of influential contemporary observers. In Germany, as in other belligerent countries, many artists, intellectuals, and academics experienced the outbreak of the war as a cathartic moment. While it is straightforward to see the mobilization for war and violence as a major caesura for any of the belligerent countries, it is much more complicated to account for causalities and for German peculiarities. Difficult methodological questions arise, which have not always been properly addressed. While Germany was facing a ‘world of enemies’, as a popular slogan suggested, the semantics of the political shifted to an articulation of emotions, excitements, and promises, contributing to a dramatized narrative centered around the notions of sacrifice and fate. The effect of World War I concludes the article.

Abstract:
Questions concerning the value of poetry have been of interest to philosophers and critics ever since Plato issued his challenge, in Book X of the Republic, to poetry's ‘champions’, to show that poetry is not, as he argued it to be, epistemically and morally a corrupting influence on individuals and society. Aristotle's Poetics is in effect in large part a response to that challenge. Where Plato argued that poetry's appeal to emotion in its audience was degrading, Aristotle argued that the capacity of tragedy to bring about the catharsis of pity and fear in the audience made it, in one way or another (unfortunately the obscurity of the notion of catharsis in the Poetics makes it very difficult to say precisely how), a force for good in the pursuit of psychological and moral health.

Abstract:
This chapter delves into the Depression era in order to track the initial emergence abroad of a slapstick modernism in the novels of Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Witold Gombrowicz. Justifying his comically outrageous undertaking as a revitalizing remedy for the sicknesses of contemporary existence, Céline ultimately pursued cathartic effects that would take place at the level of the word as well as the body and mind. His powerfully emotive technique was oriented toward the purification of the signifier via the elimination of the signified. Meanwhile, Gombrowicz's first novel, Ferdydurke (1937) is a key piece in the global or transnational puzzle that slapstick modernism ultimately constitutes.

Abstract:
The recent performance history of Macbeth illustrates two tendencies discernible in contemporary Shakespeare performance more widely: the strong, empathic engagement characteristic of theatrical intimacy in the Aristotelian vein and the vast, distancing sweep of epic as theorized by Bertolt Brecht and, later, Walter Benjamin. By considering productions by Punchdrunk, Rift, John Tiffany and Andrew Goldberg, Kenneth Branagh and Rob Ashford, and Grzegorz Jarzyna, this chapter argues that epic theatre as proposed by Brecht and Benjamin is a marked feature of immersive productions, which combine the impression of intimacy with the distancing effect of the epic. Using Elinor Fuchs’s notion of landscape theatre, it concludes that in contemporary apolitical epic theatre, intimacy can be achieved outside Aristotelian catharsis or character and even beyond the notion of humanity.

Abstract:
This chapter presents a sermon based on ‘intercession service’. This service was established to replace the traditional ‘day of fast and humiliation’ during World War I. This intercession sermon, delivered by Joseph H. Hertz, honestly confesses the devastating effect on morale of the events he describes as ‘a human tragedy unapproached in civilized history’, the difficulty many have in reconciling the nightmare of their time with belief in the providence of a loving God. He incorporates quotations from literature — Kipling and Milton — and refers to Aristotle's theory of the cathartic effect of tragedy. And he applies a stunning rabbinic legend of Adam's despair at the darkness of the first night and God's reassurance that this darkness was not the final reality, together with the verse from the week's Torah lesson evoking both the discouragement of Moses and the promise of a new manifestation of the divine, as a source of hope.

Abstract:
‘The phenomenology of psychedelic therapy’ provides a selective overview of experiences commonly reported by those who take psychedelics in controlled and structured settings, such as clinical trials and religious rituals. The first half of this chapter reviews a variety of typical changes to perception and the sense of self. The second half reviews qualitative evidence concerning patients’ impressions of the therapeutic process. Patients who receive psychedelics in clinical trials sometimes, but not always, describe non-naturalistic metaphysical epiphanies concerning the existence of a cosmic consciousness, spirit world, or divine Reality. More commonly emphasised are experiences of psychological insight, beneficial changes to self-representation, intense and cathartic emotional experiences, and feelings of connectedness and acceptance. This evidence provides initial clues that psychedelics’ therapeutic effects may not be due entirely to the induction of non-naturalistic metaphysical ideations.

Abstract:
This chapter continues the argument from the previous chapter, developing it through a more detailed reading of the Letter to d’Alembert on the Theater, in which Rousseau’s well known condemnation of the theater occurs. Lacoue-Labarthe argues that Rousseau in fact does not condemn imitation as such, his target being rather imitation that seeks to produce effects of pleasure and complacency by way of flattering identifications. It is in this light that Rousseau critiques catharsis as a harmful illusion of relief from evil that leaves the evil in place. But when one turns to what Rousseau says about tragedy, and Greek tragedy in particular, another perspective emerges: catharsis and Aufhebung as a speculative sublation of historically embedded conflicts. Greek tragedy was not merely theater, but the staging of a originary agon between two kinds of “Greece,” one of which is absolutely anterior to theater as such and so is purely archaic. In this sense, Greek tragedy for Rousseau is a philosophical scene par excellence, the scene of a historical dialectic.

In addition to the use of bleeding and mercurials, in this chapter Barker illustrates the beneficial effects of emetics, cathartics, alkalines, and digitalis as well as epispastics, issues, setons and cauteries, opiates, tonics, suitable diet, and salubrious air with exercise, using his own cases and those of authors in both Europe and America. He previously noted the beneficial effects of alkalines in slow fevers and epidemics and, after trials, found them useful in hectic fevers as recorded in some of his case reports since 1800 as well as those of other medical authors. He includes an excerpt of an 1802 article by Benjamin Rush on the benefits of salivation in pulmonary consumption and an 1813 article by Harvard’s John Warren in which he wrote, “The introduction of mercury, in the treatment of pulmonary diseases, after allaying inflammatory action, by venesection, and other evacuants, may be deemed one of the most important innovations, in modern practice.”

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 3 explores Jean Rotrou’s neglected 1634 Hercule mourant, performed during the same season as Corneille’s Médée. In doing so, it conceptualizes the present moment of spectacle—what it means to attend to the theatrical presence of violence—through post-structuralist performance theories of “presence.” Hercule mourant, a Neo-Stoic play exemplary of a Medean tragedy, exposes the conceptual model of endurance as an experience of tragedy. In this performance of Hercules’s death by his wife’s poisoned gift, Hercules’s slow demise is a major portion of the drama’s action. Drawing on the play’s performance archive confirming its incredible spectacularity, this chapter exposes the tension between the invisibility of burning from within and the audience’s poetic apprehension of such violence through stage and rhetorical effects that slow down the moment of crisis to which an audience attends, and whose effects it hopes to feel. Hercule mourant provides a potential counter-example to common notions of catharsis that purge the immoderation of the spectacular, instead belaboring it. It asks audiences to consider endurance as a model of attending to violence.

Abstract:
Peter Szondi famously claimed that after Aristotle there was a “poetics of tragedy,” but after Schelling there was a “philosophy of the tragic.” Lacoue-Labarthe argues that this is only half correct, in that this philosophy of the tragic is still and also a poetics of tragedy, insofar as this philosophy is based on Aristotle and on the question of the tragic effect. In a commentary on letter 10 of Schelling’s Philosophical Letters on Dogmatism and Criticism (written in 1795), Lacoue-Labarthe shows that Schelling articulates in its most pointed form the historical dialectic played out in the struggles of Greek tragedy, a struggle in which mimesis reaches into a kind of sublime terror, an unsublatable mimesis that links catharsis with death. The chapter ends with a reminder that a thinking of dialectics and death is at the core of Hegel’s thought and with a quotation from Georges Bataille, who exclaimed, in “Hegel, Death and Sacrifice,” that the deathly scene of sacrifice “is a comedy!”

Abstract:
The influence of the Court of Justice in the development of EU law has been defining and, in some respects, unprecedented in the history of legal systems. The Court has shaped EU law by establishing the distinct constitutional features of the EU legal order, protecting fundamental rights, defining the internal market, and expanding EU competence. In short, it has had an overwhelming influence in shaping both the economic and the political constitution of the EU. The importance of the judiciary in the development of EU law is not accidental. It has been the result of treaty design, judicial behaviour, and the cooperation of political actors. From its inception, the project of European integration was based on grand objectives, the adoption of framework treaties, and the establishment of new institutions, including an independent court. Treaty design facilitated institutional empowerment and favoured ‘integration through law’ as the underlying narrative. From an early stage, the Court saw itself as the exponent of the normative foundations of integration as a process of catharsis emerging from the ideology of nationalism that led to the Second World War. By establishing direct effect, the Court essentially abolished the state monopoly to grant rights, thereby creating a nascent

Full text
Abstract:
Unfortunately, coming to terms with disability and trauma are all too familiar foes for American combat veterans, many of whom receive inadequate, delayed, or nonexistent treatment options upon returning home. We conclude this volume with chapter 10, “Falling Out of Performance: Pragmatic Breakdown in Veterans’ Storytelling,” in which Kristiana Willsey provides new insights into the ways in which U.S. military veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan make meaning and process trauma through the sharing of narratives. She argues that naturalizing the labor of narrative—by assuming stories are inherently transformative, redemptive, or unifying—obscures the responsibilities of the audience as co-authors, putting the burden on veterans to both share their experiences of war, and simultaneously scaffold those experiences for an American public that (with the ongoing privatization of the military and the ever-shifting fronts of global warfare) is increasingly alienated from its military. Importantly, Willsey asserts that the public exhortations in which veterans tell their stories in an effort to cultivate a kind of cultural catharsis can put them in an impossible position: urged to tell their war stories; necessitating the careful management of those stories for audiences uniquely historically disassociated from their wars; and then conflating the visible management of those stories with the “spoiled identity” of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
