A VONTADE SOB O IMPACTO DA PÓS-MODERNIDADE (A FÉ INTERPELANDO A FRAGMENTAÇÃO DA VONTADE)

Este trabalho investiga uma das formas pelas quais a condição contemporânea, assim chamada pós-moderna, exerce significativo impacto sobre a vontade humana. Numa perspectiva fenomenológica e existencial, apoiada primordialmente no pensamento de Paul Ricoeur e Paul Tillich, esta abordagem busca identificar a relação entre a condição pós-moderna e a crise contemporânea da vontade que, como hipótese de tese, encontra-se vinculada à forma pela qual é estabelecida a relação entre vontade e desejo. A pós-modernidade é analisada a partir de seu desenvolvimento sócio-cultural desde a década de 1930 e em interlocução com os pensamentos de Jean-François Lyotard e Jean Baudrillard de forma a evidenciar o desenvolvimento desta relação. Algumas perspectivas filosófico-teológicas são exploradas a partir da situação de impacto aqui em questão. São tentativas de contribuir para que a vontade redescubra seu caráter integralizador e possa considerá-lo tão imprescindível quanto seu ímpeto expansionista e dissipador, uma vez que ambos os movimentos são partes integrantes da coragem e do poder-de-ser que a fundamentam.(AU)

Una planta sin clásicos. La berenjena en la farmacología medieval y renacentista

La berenjena (Solanum melongena L.) es una planta solanácea de múltiples variedades, cuyos ancestros salvajes se sitúan en Indochina y el este de África. Su cultivo fue muy temprano en zonas de China e India. Aun así, no se extendió al Occidente antiguo ni apenas se conoció, de ahí su ausencia en los textos clásicos de botánica y farmacología. Fueron los árabes quienes llevaron el cultivo de la planta por el Norte de África y Al-Andalus, de donde pasó ya a Europa. Los primeros testimonios occidentales de la berenjena aparecen en traducciones latinas de textos árabes, para incorporarse luego a la literatura farmacológica medieval y, más tarde ya, a la del Renacimiento, que empezó a tratar de ella por su posible parecido con una especie de mandrágora. Pese a que se le reconocían algunas virtudes medicinales, siempre se la tuvo bajo sospecha por ser de sabor poco agradable, indigesta y causante de algunas afecciones. Solo los botánicos de finales del Renacimiento describirían la planta y sus variedades con criterios más «científicos» y botánicos, ya sin apenas intereses farmacológicos.

Rephrasing voice : art, practice-led research and the limits and sites of articulacy

While my PhD is practice-led research, it is my contention that such an inquiry cannot develop as long as it tries to emulate other models of research. I assert that practice-led research needs to account for an epistemological unknown or uncertainty central to the practice of art. By focusing on what I call the artist's 'voice,' I will show how this 'voice' is comprised of a dual motivation—'articulate' representation and 'inarticulate' affect—which do not even necessarily derive from the artist. Through an analysis of art-historical precedents, critical literature (the work of Jean-François Lyotard and Andrew Benjamin, the critical methods of philosophy, phenomenology and psychoanalysis) as well as of my own painting and digital arts practice, I aim to demonstrate how this unknown or uncertain aspect of artistic inquiry can be mapped. It is my contention that practice-led research needs to address and account for this dualistic 'voice' in order to more comprehensively articulate its unique contribution to research culture.

A dominant-negative mutation in the TRESK potassium channel is linked to familial migraine with aura

Migraine with aura is a common, debilitating, recurrent headache disorder associated with transient and reversible focal neurological symptoms. A role has been suggested for the two-pore domain (K2P) potassium channel, TWIK-related spinal cord potassium channel (TRESK, encoded by KCNK18), in pain pathways and general anaesthesia. We therefore examined whether TRESK is involved in migraine by screening the KCNK18 gene in subjects diagnosed with migraine. Here we report a frameshift mutation, F139WfsX24, which segregates perfectly with typical migraine with aura in a large pedigree. We also identified prominent TRESK expression in migraine-salient areas such as the trigeminal ganglion. Functional characterization of this mutation demonstrates that it causes a complete loss of TRESK function and that the mutant subunit suppresses wild-type channel function through a dominant-negative effect, thus explaining the dominant penetrance of this allele. These results therefore support a role for TRESK in the pathogenesis of typical migraine with aura and further support the role of this channel as a potential therapeutic target.
