Deleuze and the Postcolonial Politics of Magical Realism -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- IndexSince the success of Gabriel García Márquez's 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, and the following Latin American literary 'boom' of the late sixties and seventies, magical realism has had a steady following, an international influence and become established as a literary genre. Yet its definition has remained vague. Through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, this study rethinks magical realism, making an argument for using Deleuzian readings of literature in general while dealing with the implications of a new approach for prevalent postcolonial studies in particular. With One Hundred Years of Solitude used as a model, Eva Aldea takes a Deleuzian approach to major anglophone works by Rushdie, Okri, Morrison, and Ghosh. She shows how the power of magical realism lies not, as is commonly held, in its subversion of the real and the magical, but in allowing the two to remain radically different and yet indiscernible at the same time, challenging existing readings of the genreContinuum literary studies.Magic realism (Literature)Literary studies: post-colonial literatureFiction20th centuryHistory and criticismCommonwealth fiction (English)History and criticismPostcolonialism in literatureLiteraturePhilosophyMagic realism (Literature)FictionHistory and criticism.Commonwealth fiction (English)History and criticism.Postcolonialism in literature.LiteraturePhilosophy.809/.915Aldea Eva917468UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910459634203321Magical realism and Deleuze2057115UNINA03773nam 22007095 450 991085399070332120250807152845.03-031-50399-610.1007/978-3-031-50399-3(MiAaPQ)EBC31230590(Au-PeEL)EBL31230590(DE-He213)978-3-031-50399-3(CKB)31120643000041(MiAaPQ)EBC31266935(EXLCZ)993112064300004120240326d2024 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierReprogramming the Brain A Guide to the Future of the Brain and Neuromodulation by a Patient and his Doctor /by Benjamin Stecher, Alfonso Fasano1st ed. 2024.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2024.1 online resource (161 pages)3-031-50398-8 Patient Prelude -- Physician Prelude -- What’s in a Name? -- Dysko Joy Ridin’ -- To DBS or Not to DBS, that is the Question -- The Black Forest -- The Cards We’re Dealt -- The Future of Cell Replacement Therapies -- From Cooper To FUS -- ADD: Adaptive vs. Directional vs. Distance -- The Three Pillars of DBS -- The Surgeon -- The Family -- Time, Healing and Patience -- The Caregiver’s Burden -- The Day I Thought I Could be Prime Minister of Canada -- Oscillopathies and You -- What’s it like letting an Algorithm Run Your Brain -- Is aDBS a Cure? -- Brain Conquistadores -- The Coming Wave -- The Art of Neuroscience -- The Alignment Problem -- DBS in Crisis -- The Future of Neuromodulation -- Epilogue – To Elon Musk, On the Future of Our Brains.In June 2021, Doctor and Patient decided that time had come to surgically implant two six-inch-long metal alloy spikes all the way through Ben’s brain. It was felt that the medications Ben was taking to control his Parkinson’s disease had become unmanageable. Back then, Ben was taking about 20 different pills a day. Each pill, if it absorbed properly, would activate the dopamine pathways in his brain and induce uncontrollable writhing movements that would last for about an hour. He would then get about 20 minutes where he’d feel somewhat normal before the slowness and tremor kicked in again. So, he’d take another pill and the cycle would repeat. After months of adjusting his medication and finding just the right settings on his deep brain stimulator, it was decided, for the first time ever in a clinical trial in North America, to flip on the adaptive settings. This is the story of how that decision was made and what happened next.NeurologyPatient educationNeurosciencesNeuroanatomyNervous systemDiseasesNervous systemRadiographyNeurologyPatient EducationNeuroscienceNeuroanatomyNeurological DisordersNeuroradiologyNeurology.Patient education.Neurosciences.Neuroanatomy.Nervous systemDiseases.Nervous systemRadiography.Neurology.Patient Education.Neuroscience.Neuroanatomy.Neurological Disorders.Neuroradiology.616.8Stecher Benjamin1737199Fasano Alfonso1737200MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910853990703321Reprogramming the Brain4158395UNINA
