Video installation; printmaking (photo-plate lithography on rice paper), chine-coll. As an Iranian woman artist who immigrated to Canada two years ago, my research creation examines ways of visualizing the notion of simultaneity in the lives of today’s migrants, in the sense of living between several cultures and multiple states of mind. In my work, I intend to show the shifts and reconstructions that take place in one’s identity as the result of immigration and living in a different culture, with the lens of simultaneity in identity, place, and language.

The Creation

Focusing on the interplay between memory and place, this article examines the rationale behind the use of axonometric drawings (axons) in a geographical research study of the Tumen/Tuman River region encompassing the borders shared by China, Russia and North Korea. The concepts of “memory of place” and “place of memory” guide the structure of this project and the flow of this article. “Memory of place” emphasises the lived experience of our physical senses, and helps determine the great potential of visual methodologies in the fields of geographical and landscape research and study. Drawn up using the graphic production techniques of abstracting, foregrounding, highlighting and juxtaposing, axons avail themselves of and inform both realist and idealist states of mind. In contrast, “place of memory” references a particular type of materiality and helps us understand Tumen Shan-shui as a library of memories that reveals a profusion of contested aesthetic, cultural and political meanings. Axons serve to tell narratives revealing desires, actions and undertakings that have shaped and continue to shape the substance of the memory sites in question including infrastructure, architecture and signage. Initially adopted by the author as a medium for recording and communicating due to security restrictions imposed in the border areas in question, the creation of axons generated new insights on methods of documentation in landscape research, and the places and landscapes themselves.

Shed Light

Lastly, on the basis of this definition, the author shows how affects shed light on the body-mind relationship and provide an opportunity to produce a mixed discourse that focuses, by turns, on the mental, physical, or psychophysical aspect of affect. The final chapter has two parts: – An analysis of the three categories of affects: mental, physical, and psychophysical – An examination of the variations of Spinoza’s discourse Some affects, such as satisfaction of the mind, are presented as mental, even though they are correlated with the body. Others, such as pain or pleasure, cheerfulness (hilaritas) or melancholy are mainly rooted in the body, even though the mind forms an idea of them. Still others are psychophysical, such as humility or pride, which are expressed at once as bodily postures and states of mind. These affects thus show us how the mind and body are united, all the while expressing themselves differently and specifically, according to their own modalities.

Or Practice

AbstractThe essay takes up Eve Kososky Sedgwick’s influential call for a reparative reading or practice, understood primarily as a performative and literary reading practice, in an attempt to inform what I call a reparative critical image practice. Montaging my own experiences learning from filmmaker Harun Farocki during the Labour in a Single Shot workshop (Cairo 2012) together with reflections from my work with the video-installation Leap into Colour (Cairo, Beirut, Copenhagen 2012-2015), the essay speculates how the reparative critical image undergoes a process of rematerialisation. The essay explores how the image migrates between different contexts, compressions, codecs and formats, and how this route, or line of flight, is enfolded into the image’s texture. I argue that montaging these layers of intensities can create a collaborative, historically dense, fabulous image, held together by affect.

The Way

Abstract Aristotle’s way of conceiving the relationship between mathematics and other branches of scientific knowledge is completely different from the way a contemporary scientist conceives it. This is one of the causes of the fact that we look at the mathematical passages we find in Aristotle’s works with the wrong expectation. We expect to find more or less stringent proofs, while for the most part Aristotle employs mere analogies. Indeed, this is the primary function of mathematics when employed in a philosophical context: not a demonstrative tool, but a purely analogical model. In the case of the geometrical examples discussed in this paper, the diagrams are not conceived as part of a formalized proof, but as a work in progress. Aristotle is not interested in the final diagram but in the construction viewed in its process of development; namely in the figure a geometer draws, and gradually modifies, when he tries to solve a problem. The way in which the geometer makes use of the elements of his diagram, and the relation between these elements and his inner state of knowledge is the real feature which interests Aristotle. His goal is to use analogy in order to give the reader an idea of the states of mind involved in a more general process of knowing.

Abstract The intersection between psychoanalysis and politics, with their shared investment in the dynamics of self–other relationships, emerged as a key concern in psychoanalytic thinking in 2019. This year’s review examines five texts which explore this intersection through a diverse range of approaches and is divided into five sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Contemporary Subjects: Psychoanalysis in 2019, which examines Julia Kristeva’s, Passions of Our Time; 3. Mourning Subjects: Politics and Psychoanalysis, which reviews Stephen Frosh, Those Who Come After: Postmemory, Acknowledgement and Forgiveness and Noëlle McAfee, Fear of Breakdown: Politics and Psychoanalysis alongside Conrad Chrzanowski’s article, ‘The Group’s Vulnerability to Disaster: Basic Assumptions and Work Group Mentalities Underlying Trump’s 2016 Election’; 4. Creative Subjects: Psychoanalysis and Visual Art, where I consider Patricia Townsend, Creative States of Mind: Psychoanalysis and the Artist’s Process, with Alberto Stefana’s article, ‘Revisiting Marion Milner’s Work on Creativity and Art’; and 5. Dis-membered Subjects: Psychoanalysis at the Margins, which explores Gabrielle Brown (ed.), Psychoanalytic Thinking on the Unhoused Mind.
