The neo-Gramscians have greatly enriched our knowledge in this field, developing some key theoretical tools and concepts, yet ontological inconsistencies, notably the downgrading of structure, has meant their explanation of the dynamics of the contemporary world order remains somewhat inc…

Chapter 2 Constructing Invisibility
This chapter analyzes some of the discursive interactions through which a 13-year-old francophone Cameroonian student attempts to construct new social and academic identities. It builds on research on the situated co-construction of micro-interactional identities and macro-social categories such as ethnicity and race. The chapter illustrates the disjunctive interplays of visibility and invisibi…

Chapter 2 Conscious and Unconscious Qualities
The chapter considers the possibility of separating phenomenality from consciousness. Perhaps the most serious consequence of this move is that it encourages the concept of unconscious qualities. This idea is not entirely new (Cf. Rosenthal 2010; Marvan and Polák 2017 where they call it dual model), but its wider acceptance is confronted with a lack of clarity about the relationships between f…

Chapter 2 Complications
The confusions live on as the neuropsychiatric sciences cannot answer all questions individuals with compulsive sensibilities may have. Chapter 2 outlines that current knowledge of Tourette’s-related compulsions is minimal, which, as a medicalised phenomenon, is mainly a result of the onto-epistemological structures that govern the neurosciences, psychiatry and psychology that study Tourette …

Chapter 2 Cancer and the Gendered Body
The study of early modern cancer is significant for our understanding of the period’s medical theory and practice. In many respects, cancer exemplifies the flexibility of early modern medical thought, which managed to accommodate, seemingly without friction, the notion that cancer was a disease with humoral origins alongside the conviction that the malady was in some sense ontologically indep…
