This research explores the convergence of ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ modalities in visual and material processes to reimagine the ‘bionic’ body as a site of syncretic and transformative potential. Rooted in Roy Ascott’s theory of syncretism—finding unity between unlike things—and Legacy Russell’s glitch theory, the thesis creation positions non-binary and queer identities as active agents of disruption,...

The problem of dramatic conventions must be solved in close relationship with the conventional nature of art in general and the peculiarities of the dramatic genre in particular. The problem has been widely discussed by such western critics as John Gassner, Francis Fergusson and Siegfried Melchinger. The interest of Soviet literary criticism in the problem of dramatic conventions is manifested...

The Bi-Interpretive Mind Framework (BIMF) introduces a dual-system model of human cognition and consciousness, positing the coexistence of two interdependent subsystems: the Primary Mind (logical, conscious, reality-testing) and the Secondary Mind (intuitive, unconscious, biologically interpretive). Subjective experience is conceptualized as emerging from the “interpretive handshake” between...

This conceptual study examines Matte Blanco’s system of bi-logic as a novel framework for understanding psychedelic altered states of consciousness. The initial point of departure is a consideration of the complex historical relationship between psychoanalysis and psychedelics, prompting a review of contemporary psychoanalytic and neuropsychoanalytic perspectives on psychedelic action. This...

Lucid dreaming, defined as the experience of becoming aware of dreaming while still immersed in a dream, offers a unique window into a state of consciousness characterized by a blending of the sensory vividness of REM sleep with the self-awareness of wakefulness. While past functional imaging has shed light on the neural activity supporting lucid dreaming, the structural brain correlates of...

Upper Palaeolithic parietal art is frequently found deep within cave systems where illumination technologies were required for art production. Kedar, Kedar, & Barkai hypothesise that the oxygen consumption of illumination technology, combined with the poor ventilation of deep cave chambers, resulted in a hypoxia-induced altered-state-of-consciousness which incentivised ritual activity and...

Chapter 7 examines the rich and surprising history of psychedelics and religious life in the Americas, and in modern American life. The sacred drugs du jour now and likely into the future are psychedelics. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, ayahuasca, and mescaline are several of the organic and synthetic psychoactive, serotonergic agents that have entered popular consciousness and are in the process...

Sacred Drugs explores the numerous ways in which psychoactive substances, from alcohol to psilocybin, cannabis to pharmaceuticals, and coffee to tobacco, intersect with religious life. This cutting-edge volume acknowledges the ubiquity of drug use in American society and that, in fact, being drugged with an altered state of consciousness is a common feature of American life today, as it has...

Structured Abstract Importance Ketamine has well known dissociative, analgesic, and antidepressant properties, but it is unknown whether the neurophysiologic effects that are associated with these properties can be modulated separately from one another. Given prior studies that link specific cortical oscillations with specific therapeutic effects, it is likely that modulating selective aspects...
