Download date: 14. Jan. 2025 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Phd Thesis submitted to the Department of French, King’s College London 2014 Supervisors: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx xxxxxxx This thesis examines the role of affect in the work of Xxxx-Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (including works co-authored with Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx) and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx. It explores the notion of affect and its place in the creation of art and the formation of subjectivity. Recent social and cultural research in affect theory locates the affective turn in the mid 1990s, developing affect as a type of excess that is contrasted with the cognitive and the discursive and lays considerable stress on the body and feeling. This thesis considers the affective turn in philosophy to have taken place in the late 1960s early 1970s. Affect in Lyotard, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx moves beyond the notion of affect as excess and is established as that which engenders cognitive capabilities, linguistic structures as well as artistic and creative processes. This thesis stages an encounter between two different theoretical strands of affect theory: Xxxxxxx’x philosophical assessment of Xxxxxxx’s distinctive formulation of affect and Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx’s revisiting of the psychoanalytic notion of affect through Xxxxx. I propose that we can draw from their writings a definition of affect that is common to all three. I will argue throughout this thesis that the definition of affect in these three writers is the non- signifying element of an image or representation that is autonomous from but also operates alongside signification (within or beneath it) creating the new, that is new art- work and new directions in thought. It is therefore the creative element of a process that incites language and conscious thought processing by moving them in different directions; it is the driving element in a productive process of change. Affect in this definition is therefore two-fold: it is an excess within language and a process. The thesis draws attention to the significance o...

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Classics, King’s College, London. 31 January 2013 This thesis is concerned with freedom of speech in early imperial Rome. The creation of the principate meant that the emperor held absolute power based on military force, but there is no comprehensive survey of how this affected freedom of speech. This study therefore examines relevant primary sources, approaching the question through three areas – controls imposed by the emperor through law and force majeure, self-censorship and peer pressure among the elite, and popular political protest. Most of the evidence presented is literary, reflecting the interests and concerns of the elite authors and their intended audience, though where relevant reference is made to inscriptions, graffiti and dipinti. The thesis considers the hierarchical, status-conscious nature of Roman society, arguing that concern for social standing affects all communication. Although there are incidents of control imposed by the emperor or his representatives, peer-to-peer pressure has a greater impact upon freedom of speech. Communication is affected by the status of the speaker, the audience and the occasion. The distinctions between “public” and “private” speech differed significantly from modern conceptions. This means that protocols arose for dealing with potentially offensive subjects – insult, criticism and obscenity – so that offence was minimised and social relations could continue harmoniously. This argument is developed by an exploration of political communication between senate and emperor, especially the importance of the differing relationships between the emperor and individual senators. The study concludes by exploring informal and popular protest at Rome, through gossip, demonstrations at ludi and xxxxxx, and through graffiti and pamphleteering. Even here, concerns for status and personal relationships with the emperor explain the forms protests take. This study aim...

Download date: 23. Dec. 2020 Department of Psychological Medicine Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience A nocebo effect is the experience of unpleasant symptoms in response to an inert exposure. The effect may explain many of the side effects that are attributed to medications. Preventing nocebo effects should reduce costs to health services and improve patients’ quality of life. The mechanisms underlying nocebo effects may include misattribution of symptoms, learning from past experiences, conditioning or social observation, and conscious expectation. In a systematic review of 89 studies testing predictors of symptom reporting following an inert exposure, I found considerable evidence supporting the role of expectations. Using this evidence, I developed and piloted an intervention to reduce expectations by reframing the side effect information in patient information leaflets (PILs), reporting the chance of remaining side effect free rather than the risk of developing side effects. In a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of 203 healthy volunteers, this reframing significantly reduced the likelihood of participants attributing symptoms to a sham medicine. To determine how the English population interpret the current side effect wording in PILs, I carried out a cross-sectional survey of a nationally representative sample of 1003 people. This showed that current wording results in unreasonably high side effect expectations, adding justification for the wording to be altered. As part of the systematic review and RCT, I also examined associations between baseline characteristics and symptom reporting. The results showed little support for the importance of demographic or personality characteristics. However, medicine-related beliefs are important risk factors for nocebo effects, and could be targeted in future interventions. Overall, my works suggests that the way we currently communicate about side effect risks is ineffective, that reframing risk may be beneficial, and that assessing me...
