The function of dreams is a longstanding scientific research question. Simulation theories of dream function, which are based on the premise that dreams represent evolutionary past selective pressures and fitness improvement through modified states of consciousness, have yet to be tested in cross-cultural populations that include small-scale forager societies. Here, we analyze dream content...
Film-Philosophy October 1, 2023 J. Dutton
This article interprets David Lynch's Mulholland Drive (2001) to argue for the morphological influence cinematic images have on modernity's monstrous identity. It shows how Lynch's tactic of interweaving apparently discrete spaces of dream and reality – one often inverting or uncannily ironising the other – relies on the virtual space of cinema, which leaves a mark on understanding,...

This research paper delves into the intricate portrayal of the human-Android divide in Philip K. Dick's renowned novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, and its profound implications on the notion of authenticity. Set in a dystopian future, the novel presents a world where advanced androids blur the lines between human and artificial emotions, raising existential questions about identity...

The idea of applying the experience of cognitive analysis to visual works of art served as a prerequisite for studying the mental representations of hell and heaven on the basis of the most vivid cinematic images. Two films — “What Dreams May Come” (V. Ward, USA, 1998) and “Heavenly Judgement” (A. Zvantsova, Russia, 2011—2014) — were chosen as the research material. The center of scientific...

For Fisher, the economic and...
