The Tarot’s Tower in Agnès Varda’s Cléo de 5 à 7

ABSTRACT Agnès Varda’s Cléo de 5 à 7/Cléo from 5 to 7 begins with a divination session that launches a process by which the protagonist will shed her public persona in favour of an inner form of self-awareness. Cards uncover past influences, present situations and a surprising encounter, until the dramatic reveal of the Tower card implicates the emotional and physical transformation of Cléo, a fearful young woman seeking reassurance in a time of health crisis. Thus far, critical study has focused on the Tarot session as Varda’s exposition of background, plot and tropes; however, scholars have yet to analyse the divination session as a prompt for Cléo’s emerging will and effort in the world. This article proposes the Tarot de Marseille’s maison dieu/Tower card as a key instigator to ‘self-discovery and self-exploration’. What follows first analyses the beginning scene in which the Tower card is pulled, then exposes the card’s impact throughout the film.

Problems of Communication and Health Information for Elderly Women during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Like mushrooms that grow in the rainy season, the health information that was scattered during the Covid-19 pandemic is also growing rapidly and going fast all the time. Transfer of health information about the Covid-19 case can be accessed easily by anyone and anywhere through digital media in their respective devices. Hoax in health information is not a strange thing anymore, so it is difficult to distinguish the truth from real information. This communication problem is being experienced by society, especially among elderly women in Bandung. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of the author to examine more deeply with the following research objectives: 1) knowing the process of seeking health information for elderly women during the Covid-19 pandemic in Bandung; 2) knowing the reasons for the communication process and the selection of media and health information used by these elderly women. In this case, the uniqueness of the research lies in the research subject, where the category of elderly women with various physical and mental health conditions they experience must face exposure to health information during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a case study method by interviewing 5 selected informants in this research. The results of the research were found to contribute thoughts in the study of health communication in the digital era that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic. The findings of this study include the following, (1) the process of searching for health information carried out by informants during the Covid-19 pandemic is unique because it varies through word of mouth and digital media, with information content about various herbal / traditional treatments; (2) the reason for the search for health information is an effort to contain the spread of covid-19, a form of self-awareness and to prevent exposure to covid-19.

Art therapy : Current developments in research and training

Art therapy is the intentional therapeutic use of the fine arts. Like music, dance, poetry and theater therapy, it is assigned to artistic therapy. This article provides an overview of general and recent developments as well as the state of the art in teaching in the discipline art therapy. Furthermore, two art therapeutic forms of intervention, the body outline image method (KUM) and Photo-Art-Therapy, are introduced. The aim is to further standardize the education and further training landscapes of art therapy, not least in order to further increase patient safety. This includes, for example, conveying systematically checked interventional measures and manuals that the students learn both theoretically and in the form of self-awareness. For about 10 years now, more and more high-impact quality research studies have been carried out Further evaluation studies in this field are desirable.

A Qualitative Study on Married Migrant Women’s Experience of Participation in Self-help Groups from the Perspective of Transformative Learning

This study examined self-help groups for married migrant women which have not been discussed from the viewpoint of learning from the perspective of transformative learning and tried to suggest the direction of self-help groups. For this, the research question was set as 'What does married migrant women's experience of participation in self-help groups from the perspective of transformative learning?'. For the study, data were collected by arranging in-depth interviews with 7 married migrant women who participated in self-help groups for more than 2 years in the B Family Center in A City. And based on this, the in-depth meanings in the experience were analyzed. Based on the collected data, each three central meanings were drawn from the categories of experience by conversion stage, the level of conversion and introspection, and the results of the conversion. Married migrant women planned and attempted a meaning life by experiencing dilemmas and experienced problem solving through sympathy and cooperation in their self-help groups. It has found that the level of conversion and introspection appeared in the form of self-awareness, professional competency development, and introspection as migrant women and the results of the conversion appeared in the domain of individuals, families, and society. The above research results show that self-help groups promote the shift in married migrant women's perspectives and become the learning center that they can be expanded to indivisual and social growth. Based on the results of the study, it found educational implications of self-help groups for married migrant women and sought the direction for their development.

Modernisasi Pendidikan Bagi Perempuan Suku Walak di Distrik Wollo Kabupaten Jayawijaya

This article aims to describe the views of the Walak Tribe on the education of Walak Tribe women and analyze what factors hinder and support the education of Walak Tribe women in Wolo District. This research is qualitative in nature which uses data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study are basically, some people in Kukurima Village, Wollo District already know the meaning and impact of education, the Walak tribe community views that education for Walak women is very necessary, girls are not prohibited from school or considered low, and can be placed equal to men in terms of getting an education. Education is one of the ways that women become agents of change (agents of change) and not just passive recipients of empowerment programs. Education is also one of the factors that enables women to have economic independence by working both outside and inside their homes. The inhibiting and supporting factors for the education of Walak women include. The factors inhibiting education for Walak Tribe women are internal, namely those that come from within themselves, especially in the form of self-awareness and motivation. Meanwhile, external factors are those that come from outside of women such as family support, especially parents, including the government and local communities.

Machine Gaze: Self-Identification Through Play With a computer Vision-Based Projection and Robotics System.

Children begin to develop self-awareness when they associate images and abilities with themselves. Such “construction of self” continues throughout adult life as we constantly cycle through different forms of self-awareness, seeking, to redefine ourselves. Modern technologies like screens and artificial intelligence threaten to alter our development of self-awareness, because children and adults are exposed to machines, tele-presences, and displays that increasingly become part of human identity. We use avatars, invent digital lives, and augment ourselves with digital imprints that depart from reality, making the development of self-identification adjust to digital technologies that blur the boundary between us and our devices. To empower children and adults to see themselves and artificially intelligent machines as separately aware entities, we created the persona of a salvaged supermarket security camera refurbished and enhanced with the power of computer vision to detect human faces, and project them on a large-scale 3D face sculpture. The surveillance camera system moves its head to point to human faces at times, but at other times, humans have to get its attention by moving to its vicinity, creating a dynamic where audiences attempt to see their own faces on the sculpture by gazing into the machine's eye. We found that audiences began attaining an understanding of machines that interpret our faces as separate from our identities, with their own agendas and agencies that show by the way they serendipitously interact with us. The machine-projected images of us are their own interpretation rather than our own, distancing us from our digital analogs. In the accompanying workshop, participants learn about how computer vision works by putting on disguises in order to escape from an algorithm detecting them as the same person by analyzing their faces. Participants learn that their own agency affects how machines interpret them, gaining an appreciation for the way their own identities and machines' awareness of them can be separate entities that can be manipulated for play. Together the installation and workshop empower children and adults to think beyond identification with digital technology to recognize the machine's own interpretive abilities that lie separate from human being's own self-awareness.

An Effort to Increase the Independence of Pregnant Women in Detecting High Risk and Complications of Pregnancy

Health problems for pregnant women, both physically and psychologically, have an impact on the quality of life of the mother and the baby she is carrying. Women with high-risk pregnancies need to prepare themselves with more attention to their health conditions in facing pregnancy. Several factors that influence the independence of pregnant women in early detection of high risk pregnancies include age, developmental conditions, health conditions, cultural orientation, health care systems, family system factors or family support, lifestyle, environmental factors and available resources. The output target to be achieved in the implementation of this community service activity is to increase the understanding and skills of pregnant women about high-risk pregnancies and to be published in national journals. Efforts to increase the independence of pregnant women in detecting high risks and complications of pregnancy through the use of the health of both mother and childbook, Skor Pudji Rochyati and birth planning and complication prevention program stickers are a form of self-awareness for pregnant women and supported by social support by their families, it is hoped that pregnant women will be fully aware of the signs and dangers that occur. on himself and checked himself into a health facility and wanted to be referred to a higher level of service precisely and quickly.

Towards a Phenomenology of the Unconscious: Husserl and Fink on Versunkenheit

ABSTRACT As a phenomenological concept, absorption refers to the ego's capacity to experience the world from a displaced standpoint. The paper traces the emergence and development of this concept in Husserl's and Fink's writings and demonstrates that while Fink conceived of absorption as a class of intuitive re-presentations, Husserl transformed it into a limit phenomenon, whose analysis calls for a new method. A careful study of absorption compels us to rethink fundamental themes in phenomenology: it forces us to broaden our understanding of sensuous intuition, reconceptualize the nature of self-awareness, stretch the limits of intuitive re-presentations, and rethink the portrayal of phenomenology as a metaphysics of presence. The paper demonstrates that absorbed experiences are characterized by a specific form of self-awareness, that they constitute a distinct type of intuitive re-presentations, that a new method is needed to investigate them, and that their analysis leads towards a phenomenology of the unconscious.

Historical memory in Finno-Ugric families of Mordpvians and Udmurts (experience in analyzing of family histories)

Introduction. Historical memory determines a person’s attitude towards the country, towards their people, ethnic group, and other groups with which they identify themselves with. The formation of historical memory involves not only the state, which is interested in fostering a sense of patriotism and citizenship in the young generation, but also such social institutions as the family, school, University, media, etc. Family attaches the individual to the social experience of the past, as it lays the foundation of the individual forms of self-awareness, love for the homeland, and its past. Family memory is part of historical memory, because there is no family history outside the history of the country. Materials and methods. The article presents an analysis of sociological qualitative research of semi-structured interviews in order to identify the role of the family in the process of forming the historical memory of young people in the Finno-Ugric families of Mordovians and Udmurts. 28 interviews were conducted (14 Mordovian and 14 Udmurt families were interviewed). The research included the study of the main mechanisms, factors and features of the formation of historical memory in the Finno-Ugric families of Mordovians and Udmurts. Research and Discussion. It was revealed that the main mechanisms for transmitting family memory to the younger generation are family stories, observance of a certain family, ethnic traditions, commemorative practices, etc. The central event of historical memory in the families of Mordovians and Udmurts is the Great Patriotic war, which affected every family. Most of the informants participate in the action «Immortal regiment». The interest in the history of the family, the family name is higher than interest in the homeland, the history of their ethnic group. In Udmurt families, there was a better awareness of ethnic traditions and holidays than in Mordovian ones. The most visited places of memory are churches, cemeteries, and the Eternal fire memorial. Conclusion. The family aspect of historical memory is given more attention in the Finno-Ugric families of Mordovia and Udmurts than the regional (ethnic) or Federal one. Most respondents believe that family and school play a crucial role in shaping the historical memory of the younger generation.

Apperception and Pre-Reflective Self-Consciousness in Kant

Kant points to two forms of self-consciousness: the inner sense (empirical apperception) grounded in a sensory form of self-awareness and transcendental apperception. The aim of this paper is to show that a sophisticated notion of basic self-consciousness, which contains a pre-reflective self-consciousness as its first level, is provided by the notion of transcendental apperception. The necessity for a pre-reflective self-consciousness has been pointed out in phenomenological literature. According to this account, every self-ascription of any property implies a more fundamental form of self-consciousness, i.e., a kind of immediate familiarity with oneself. This pre-reflective self-consciousness is a non-relational and non-identificational form of self-consciousness and concerns an immediate acquaintance of the subject with itself. In the specific terms of transcendentalism every thought contains an implicit reference to a first-personal “givenness” or a sense of “mineness” that articulates a non-relational and non-identificational form of a pre-reflective model of self-consciousness.

Integrating self, voice, experience

AbstractThe experience of hearing one’s own voice during the act of speaking is a form of self-awareness and self-reflection that occurs in relation to and in interaction with the flow of experience, including the experience of other selves and their voices. Self-communication is deeply implicated in and necessary for interpersonal communication (Harris 1996). And yet, it is the latter which is generally taken to be the paradigm case of human languaging. The fundamental role of self-communication is neglected in the language sciences. Starting with the important fact that we hear our own voice when we speak (Harris 1996, chap. 11), this paper examines the central role of self-communication in the emergence of the self and the self’s role in languaging.

Der Mensch als Selbst. Zum Begriff des präreflexiven Selbstbewusstseins in Kierkegaards Krankheit zum Tode (1849)

AbstractMy paper addresses the question whether Kierkegaard’s concept of the self is compatible with or even implies the notion of a prereflective form of selfawareness. I will connect Kierkegaard to the traditions of Idealism (e. g., Fichte) and Romanticism (e. g., Schleiermacher), as analyzed by the so-called “Heidelberg School,” in particular Dieter Henrich and Manfred Frank. While there are many interpretations of Kierkegaard’s concept of the self, especially with regard to The Sickness unto Death (1849), my own approach is unique in that it is based on a closer look at and comparison of Kierkegaard and Schleiermacher. I will argue, in particular, that both authors favor a non-egological model of self-awareness.

What is reflective self-awareness for? Role expectation for situational collaboration in alliance animal society

Most research on animal self-awareness focuses on the question of what self-awareness is, however, the present study addresses the question of what self-awareness is for. It is argued that different forms of self-awareness are needed for conspecific collaboration in different types of animal societies. In the order of the increasing level of fluidity in conspecific cooperation, animal societies are divided into three main types: caste society, individualized society, and alliance society. Accordingly, three forms of self-awareness are differentiated: awareness of one’s kinship relations in the caste society, awareness of one’s ranking place in the individualized society, and awareness of one’s situational roles in the alliance society. Unlike the awareness of kinship and ranks, which is genetically or associatively determined, role awareness is a form of reflective self-awareness acquired by taking the perspectives of others for contingent collaboration with conspecifics in transient situations.

Political Ecology and Modern Politics

The increasingly pressing need to politicize ecology depends on our capacity to conduct a critique of modern politics, reexamining its fundamental concepts and its history. This thesis, developed in Bruno Latour’s most recent book,Facing Gaia, raises the question of what kind of critique is best adapted to this end. This article seeks to address this question by tracing the arguments ofFacing Gaiaand its recomposition of the relations between science, politics, and religion. These relations, which are constitutive of the experience of modernity, appear differently depending on the conception of collectives that one emphasizes and how one understands their anchoring in their environment. Unlike Latour, this essay argues that it is within the framework ofmodern societies, understood as an entirely new kind of collective whose history has been distorted and ignored by modernist ideology, that a conception of a specifically ecological justice must be formulated. The critique that is necessary to the politicization of ecology implies a new way of determining the actors involved in the environmental crisis, breaking the particular ties that modernity has forged between societies, the forms of self-awareness they produce as they develop, and the expectations of justice that result from them.

Software Engineering for Smart Cyber-Physical Systems -- Towards a Research Agenda

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are large interconnected softwareintensive systems that influence, by sensing and actuating, the physical world. Examples are traffic management and power grids. One of the trends we observe is the need to endow such systems with the "smart" capabilities, typically in the form of selfawareness and self-adaptation, along with the traditional qualities of safety and dependability. These requirements combined with specifics of the domain of smart CPS -- such as large scale, the role of end-users, uncertainty, and open-endedness -- render traditional software engineering (SE) techniques not directly applicable; making systematic SE of smart CPS a challenging task. This paper reports on the results of the First International Workshop on Software Engineering of Smart Cyber-Physical Systems (SEsCPS 2015), where participants discussed characteristics, challenges and opportunities of SE for smart CPS, with the aim to outline an agenda for future research in this important area.

Just doing what I do: on the awareness of fluent agency

Hubert Dreyfus has argued that cases of absorbed bodily coping show that there is no room for self-awareness in flow experiences of experts. In this paper, I argue against Dreyfus’ maxim of vanishing self-awareness by suggesting that awareness of agency is present in expert bodily action. First, I discuss the phenomenon of absorbed bodily coping by discussing flow experiences involved in expert bodily action: merging into the flow; immersion in the flow; emergence out of flow. I argue against the claim that flow experience does not involve an awareness of agency for each of these features, while conceding that fluent agency does not involve self-awareness in the thetic sense. I challenge the assumption that the awareness of fluent agency must be understood in terms of a thetic awareness of agency. Instead, I develop an Anscombean account of the awareness of fluent agency in terms of the phenomenal character of knowing one’s aims. I respond to the challenge that if an Anscombean account of the awareness of agency is to succeed, then agents must be able to answer Anscombean questions. I consider the objection that awareness of agency is not a form of self-awareness by outlining an account of self-awareness as self-synthesis that is distinct from self-perception and self-ascription, but which makes room for self-awareness in expert bodily action.

Wittgenstein on Introspection and Introspectionism

This paper reviews and defends Wittgenstein’s examination of the notion of introspecting psychological states and his critique of introspectionism, in the sense of using reflective awareness as a tool for philosophical or psychological investigation. Its focus is on inner psychological states, like pains or thoughts—it provisionally excludes perceptual states from this category. It approaches the philosopher’s concept of introspection through an analysis of concepts of awareness and self-awareness. It identifies at least two different forms of self-awareness, just one of which is attention to conscious processes. It sides with those who deny that any self-awareness is perception. It outlines and evaluates the primary objections Wittgenstein made to the notion that we can find out about the nature of our mental states through introspection. These objections involve, inter alia, the privacy of psychological states and the inherent fallibility of judgments based on introspective awareness. The critique motivates more cautious and effective psychological investigation of mental states, including proper use of subjects’ introspective reports, and a conceptual approach to the philosophy of mind. Wittgenstein’s reflections prefigure much later views about the problematic nature of introspective knowledge; yet, Wittgenstein receives virtually no mention or credit for this work from contemporary writers.

Embedded event detection for self-aware and safer assets

The increasingly internetworked nature of physical entities and industrial assets is the result of deeper penetration of Internet of Things technologies (IoT) in production environments. Such technologies empower physical product and asset entities to become not only production but also information actors. The physical IoT entities may thus exhibit various levels of intelligence, supported by internet-working, web-based programming and advanced data processing capabilities. At the lower information processing level of physical assets, IoT-enabled entities are now highly integrated with the physical products and assets, forming what is often termed as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). They contribute to the upgrade of conventional assets to intelligent ones. For an asset to exhibit intelligent behaviour mere data exchange does not suffice and some form of self-awareness is needed. This paper presents the development of a methodology for embedding event detection to support self-awareness, leading to safer asset operation. Based on wireless sensors, as well as on embedded intelligence, an awareness-enabled asset is a dual entity, consisting of its physical, as well as well its cyber counterpart. This CPS entity is not only capable of performing its intended physical function as part of a production process, but is also capable of handling sensorial monitoring information, process it and perform detection in sensor nodes. The methodology is demonstrated in a lifts monitoring piloting case.

Of Life that Resists

As a goal of phenomenological research, identifying the distinctive features of the experience of life rather seems to have fallen by the wayside. In certain respects, this is a surprising development; a properly elaborated notion of life would certainly have a significant bearing on a number of current topics in philosophy, among them ethical issues in the biomedical sciences and the notion of emergentism in consciousness studies. For all that, the study of life in and of itself, irrespective of any practical or interdisciplinary applications, seems to be of only minor importance when compared to topics like what it means to have free will, or a body, or an item of practical knowledge. It is as if only those latter sorts of problems, and not ones associated with the distinctive experiential qualities of life, allowed us to take stock of ourselves, which is to say, allowed us to come to terms with the burden, not just of having life, but of having to live.One exception is Michel Henry's pursuit of a phenomenological conception of life. There, one cannot but be struck by the quite particular sense of life that is at stake in a phenomenology that only appears to make room for efficient causes. Synonymous neither with transcendence and factical life a la Heidegger nor with the unceasing engagement and intentionality of conscious life a la Sartre, what Henry calls 'Radical Life' breaks with the idea that life is what enables human beings, rather than stones or clouds, to be involved in situations or be-in-the-world, and thereby to be caught up in and preoccupied with the world around us. To the contrary, the significance of life lies for Henry in a different direction; it is that which cleaves subjectivity from the world, thereby exposing one to the world's irreality and the staleness of its appearances, as well as to a realm of truth little susceptible to any form of mediation.However, if this experience of life is indeed so isolated and excluded from any appearing of the world, then how is it given at all? Henry was rarely able to improve upon the skill with which he addresses this problem, above all in The Genealogy of Psychoanalysis and the later work Incarnation, via the Cartesian notion of the videre (I seem to see). For Henry, the videor holds the key to the type of self-affection in which this life is experienced, and thus shown as both suffering and enjoyment, as both burden and empowerment.As I show, it is above all in Henry's exemplification of the videor in affective experience (in undergoing a passion, feeling pain) that one is finally able to pin down his two principle arguments concerning the nature of this self-affection. The one, regarding the videor as a form of self-awareness, ultimately fails to convince, for in the last analysis Henry does not do enough to distinguish his version from similar such accounts offered by Sartre, Descartes, and even Heidegger. On the other hand, the same cannot be said for Henry's analyses of a type of affective experience whose primary characteristic is precisely a resistance internal to life itself. Not only does such an account of resistance allow a concrete understanding of what a self- or auto-affection could be about; it also opens up a perspective on why, for Henry, an original givenness of life cannot but be structured in this way.By the end of this discussion, I hope to have shown how Henry's interpretation of the videor points the way toward what is ultimately a conception of life, as is especially, but not only, to be found in his late work, Incarnation, which ends up including (much to our surprise) a form of impotence and limitation, and thus finitude, as the very implication of its manifestation. Moreover, I aim to underline how Henry thereby opens up a profound perspective on what is so dissatisfying and frustrating about the experiences of limitation, namely their ambiguous and relative character.An Epoche within the Crisis of TruthGiven our aim to discuss Henry's phenomenological interpretation of the Cartesian cogito as videre videor, it is indispensable that it first be situated with respect to his understanding of metaphysical doubt. …
