    The Edges of Meaning. Schizophrenia between Semiotics, Psychopathology and Cognitive Sciences

    Get PDF
    La schizofrenia rappresenta uno dei più grandi enigmi per l’impresa conoscitiva umana: non si conosce la sua eziologia, né le sue basi biologiche e cerebrali. Non è neanche chiaro cosa accada nell’esperienza di chi ne soffre, che sembra vivere in un mondo altro. La scarsa conoscenza dell’esperienza schizofrenica e la distanza tra questa e il senso comune hanno portato molti studiosi a inquadrare questo disturbo come illogico, irrazionale, insensato. Il presente lavoro tenta di confutare tale impostazione, mostrando come il mondo di senso dello schizofrenico si altera, non si disgrega; si trasforma, non si annulla. Il campo di studi all’interno del quale si colloca la ricerca è la semiotica, disciplina che studia i sistemi e i processi di significazione e i modi attraverso cui l’essere umano dà senso al mondo. L’intera indagine è inserita in un quadro interdisciplinare in costante dialogo con la psicopatologia fenomenologica e le scienze cognitive contemporanee, e si sviluppa a partire da numerosi testi autobiografici di pazienti schizofrenici, report psichiatrici, articoli di giornale, film e romanzi sul tema. L’ipotesi su cui si muove il lavoro è che sia possibile comprendere la schizofrenia come un problema costitutivamente semiotico, il cui nucleo è da rintracciarsi in una radicale metamorfosi delle modalità di produrre e interpretare il significato. La scommessa sottesa è che la semiotica possa contribuire in modo sostanziale alla comprensione delle modalità attraverso cui la nostra cultura concettualizza la schizofrenia e dei modi in cui gli schizofrenici danno senso al mondo. Il lavoro indaga, quindi, i legami tra schizofrenia e cultura, la storia del concetto nosografico, e le alterazioni dei processi di significazione nei casi di eloquio disorganizzato, nei racconti autobiografici e nei deliri, cercando anche di fornire strumenti utili alla pratica clinica.Schizophrenia represents one of the greatest enigmas for human knowledge: its aetiology is unknown, as its biological and neurological basis. It is even unclear what happens in the sufferers' experience, who seem to live in another world. The lack of knowledge of the schizophrenic experience and the distance between this experience and common sense have led many scholars to define this disorder as illogical, irrational, and senseless. On the contrary, the present work shows how the schizophrenic world of meaning alters, does not disintegrate; it changes, does not dissolve. The investigation is situated in an interdisciplinary framework where Semiotics, the discipline that accounts for systems and processes of signification, dialogues with phenomenological psychopathology and contemporary cognitive sciences. The inquiry is developed by taking into account several autobiographical texts of schizophrenic patients, psychiatric reports, newspaper articles, movies and novels on this subject. The leading hypothesis is that it is possible to understand schizophrenia as a constitutively semiotic problem, represented by a radical metamorphosis of meaning production and interpretation. So the bet we made is that Semiotics can contribute to understanding how our culture conceptualises schizophrenia, and the ways in which people with schizophrenia make sense of the world. Therefore, the thesis investigates the links between schizophrenia and culture, the history of the nosographic concept, and the alterations of the signification processes in disorganised speech, autobiographical narratives, and delusions, providing valuable tools for clinical practice

    Orange Chinook

    In 2015, the New Democratic Party won an unprecedented victory in Alberta. Unseating the Progressive Conservatives -- who had won every provincial election since 1971 -- they formed an NDP government for the first time in the history of the province. Orange Chinook is the first scholarly analysis of this election. It examines the legacy of the Progressive Conservative dynasty, the PC and NDP campaigns, polling, and online politics, providing context and setting the stage for the unprecedented NDP victory. It highlights the importance of Alberta's energy sector and how it relates to provincial politics with focus on the oil sands, the carbon tax, and pipelines. Examining the NDP in power, Orange Chinook draws on Indigenous, urban, and rural perspectives to explore the transition process and government finances and politics. It explores the governing style of NDP premier Rachel Notley, paying special attention to her response to the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire and to the role of women in politics. Orange Chinook brings together Alberta's top political watchers in this fascinating, multifaceted analysis
