As a result, the patients are unable to draw on the experiences of the past in order to determine their own future by reflected decisions. They miss the experience of agency or authorship of their life. One could say that instead of projecting themselves into the future, they just stumble into it. Thus borderline individuals exhibit a characteristic temporal structure: they are only what they are experiencing at this moment, in an often intense and yet empty and flat present; for this present may only be experienced passively, not as the result of one’s own planning and will....but of course they do not live in simple happiness. Rather, they often describe lasting feelings of emptiness and boredom, since their transitory present has no depth. It lacks the fulfillment which only originates from the integration of past experience and anticipated future. In order to fill the void, momentary pleasures, thrills and ecstasies are sought, turning life into an unconnected series of fleeting events instead of a continuous history.

Auch das reflexive Bewusstsein, die Fähigkeit zur Distanznahme und Überlegung, die den Menschen auszeichnet, hebt die Unmittelbarkeit seiner leiblichen Weltbeziehung auf. Doch damit versetzt es ihn in die Lage, seine primären, impliziten Erfahrungen zu explizieren, sie sprachlich zu artikulieren und so dem intersubjektiven Diskurs verfügbar zu machen, aus dem sich neue Sichtweisen und Möglichkeiten ergeben können. Die Explikation und Artikulation des Impliziten steigert also die Freiheitsgrade, über die der Mensch verfügt (Jung 2009). Zugleich erlaubt es das reflexive Bewusstsein, Alternativen in der Imagination durchzuspielen, sie also in virtuellen Probehandlungen vorwegzunehmen, bis sie in geeigneter Form wieder in den Handlungsbogen des verkörperten Subjekts integriert werden können. So dient das Bewusstsein auch dazu, in den impliziten Vermittlungen des Leibes entstandene Lücken durch neue Verknüpfungen wieder zu schließen – gleichsam die Brüche zu reparieren, die sich in der Leiblichkeit aufgetan haben. Bewusste Aufmerksamkeit kann neue Wege des Umgangs mit der Welt etablieren und leiten, bis sie sich wieder in Gewohnheiten verwandelt haben, uns ›in Fleisch und Blut übergegangen sind‹. Durch Übung und Gewöhnung inkorporiert der Leib neue Vermögen. Charakteristisch für den Erfolg ist ein sich häufig plötzlich einstellendes Erlebnis des ›Von-selbst‹, das es erlaubt, sich dem leiblichen Vollzug hinzugeben, sich gleichsam in die eigene Leiblichkeit fallen zu lassen. Der Tänzer hat eine neue Figur erlernt und kann sich ihr ganz hingeben. Der Pianist hat einen Lauf eingeübt, den er nun frei modulieren, ja dem er nun gleichsam selbst zuhören kann. Selbstvergessenheit ist das Kennzeichen des gelungenen leiblichen Vollzugs. Der Leib ist für ein neues Vermögen transparent geworden, so dass sich das fokale Bewusstsein bis zu einem gewissen Grad aus der Handlung zurückziehen und auf die Weise ihrer Ausführung oder auf das distale Ziel richten kann. »Es ist ein allgemeines Prinzip in der Psychologie«, so schreibt William James, »dass das Bewusstsein alle Prozesse verlässt, in denen es nicht mehr von Nutzen ist« (1890/1950, 496; eig. Übers.)... - Thomas Fuchs. Randzonen der Erfahrung. Beiträge zur phänomenologischen Psychopathologie

I Still See You (2018)

Released in theaters on October 12, 2018, I Still See You came and went without making an impression. With the teenage protagonists in the middle of a post-catastrophe world, you’ll wonder why at first. The Darkest Minds, The 5th Wave and Divergent all fizzled without their stories concluding but some people were clamouring for them. Could this be a YA-novel adaptation so bad it couldn't even find an audience among 13-year-olds?

In 2010, an explosion at Ashburn Laboratories creates a shockwave that kills hundreds. The deceased come back as non-sentient “remnants” (ghosts) who repeat some of their final moments every day. Ten years later, high school student Veronica ‘Ronnie’ Calder (Bella Thorne) is startled by a new (sexy) ghost (played by Thomas Elms) in her bathroom. Impossibly, this remnant writes “Run” in the steamed mirror before vanishing. Her favourite teacher, Mr. Bittner (Dermot Mulroney), doesn’t believe her but quiet loner Kirk Lane (Richard Harmon) does. Together, they follow the remnant's trail and discover it may be trying to attack her from the grave.

What we’ve got here is one of the most convoluted vehicles for a mystery I’ve ever seen. Let's begin with this world. Everyone drives slowly, not knowing if the old lady crossing the street is actually a human being, or the memory of one. Inside Ronnie’s home, there are always three chairs at the dinner table so her deceased father can appear unimpeded in the morning. I’m certain there are many awkward trips to the washroom where someone with a full bladder opens the door to find a phantom sitting on the toilet. Half of a couple in the middle of having sex is floating in a hotel bedroom. Passengers who died on a flight are zipping through the air high above us, etc. I know we're not supposed to think about that but you can't help it. You expect the film to be about Ronnie and Lane discovering a conspiracy behind the remnants or that perhaps since “Brian” wants to harm her, that all remnants are about to turn on humanity unless the explosion's cause is discovered. You’re way, way off. The remnants are not integral to the story except to explain how Ronnie saw that first ghost, and why she begins a quest for answers.

At 98 minutes, this is a short film, and a significant chunk is spent on information that's ultimately useless. In fact, the role remnants ultimately play in the story proves this never should've been a movie. I can't emphasize how superfluous the ghost thing is in the end but you get stuck on that angle. It's all you care about. We know the remnants are not - as previously stated - forced to simply relive their last moments in the same place as they lived them. Obviously, “Brian” and his sumptuous behind didn’t die in his underwear in Ronnie’s bathroom 10 years ago. This means remants can be anywhere, at any time. They can also be animals and from a time period which precedes the explosion. What the rules are, you don't know - but you want to. Makes you wonder what happens when two of them collide.

What this movie is REALLY about is the mystery. Too bad it's nonsense. It’s impossible for you to figure out what really happened to Brian and how Ronnie ties to him. Once you learn the truth, it’ll leave your head spinning. Hopefully, fast enough for you to stop asking questions - or so director Scott Speer hopes. There are so many seemingly random aspects to the enigma that is Brian. February 29th is an important date, and a crucial clue to what’s happening. Why an explosion-created ghost would care about leap years, I don’t know. It gets crazier as bodies pile up and time starts to run out. You wonder how all of these clues and characters we’ve been introduced to will fit together. Got a theory? I can tell you without hearing it; you're wrong.

I Still See You is ridiculous. Its story derails itself. The film feels like it was re-written to contain a supernatural element. When the ghost thing didn’t sell, they altered the recipe again to draw in fans of the post-apocalyptic YA genre. In the end, there are more misshapen ideas than fully realized ones. It’s so utterly bewildering I think you can have a lot of fun with it as long as you know it’s a bad movie ahead of time. (June 28, 2019)

Patients with borderline personality disorder lack the capacity to establish a coherent self-concept. Instead, they adopt what could be called a ‘post-modernist’ stance towards their life, switching from one present to the next and being totally identified with their present state of affect. Instead of repression, their means of defense consists in a temporal splitting of the self [...] The price, however, consists in a chronic feeling of inner emptiness caused by the inability to integrate past and future into the present and thus to establish a coherent sense of identity.

Thomas Fuchs, Fragmented Selves: Temporality and Identity in Borderline Personality Disorder

[coo1day]

primal impressions, retentions and protentions (example relates to music)

According to Husserl’s well-known analysis of time-consciousness, the stream of consciousness has a three-part structure, consisting of primal impressions (the present perception or activity of consciousness), retentions (holding in awareness what has just been experienced) and protentions (approximate expectations of what is to come). Husserl’s favorite example relates to music: when we hear a melody, we remain continuously aware of the tones we have just heard, and at the same time they generate a certain expectation of how the melody might continue. Our perception of a melody is thus not a sequence of individual tones – that would not result in a melody – but a dynamic, self-organizing process that integrates the tone impressions into the temporal unity of the melody. Protention, which we will now examine in more detail, initially means a rough expectation of the further course of external or self-initiated events – such as moving objects, melodies heard, one’s own movement or thought processes. ...Protentions fundamentally imply the expectation of the probable, i.e. that things will go on as before or happen as usual. Now it is possible that the protentions are smoothly fulfilled or confirmed in the primal impression: the door slams shut and it bangs as expected; the melody continues in a familiar way; I reach for the hammer and it is as heavy as ever. But the impression can also turn out differently than expected, and a surprise or disappointment arises – for example, when the melody unexpectedly changes from major to minor. A shrill discordant note that suddenly interrupts the melody would be completely contrary to expectation, i.e., quite improbable. Nevertheless, as DeRoo rightly points out, even a surprise rests on some kind of continuity, or a partial fulfillment of protentions, for otherwise the continuity of experience itself would be lost. ...An example of this extension of protention into the future is provided by a musical dissonance that demands a resolution to the tonic. This “demand” is heard or anticipated protentionally, even though we do not know when and how this resolution will finally occur. Similarly, when listening to spoken sentences, they often form extended braces, so that, for example, an “on the one hand” calls for an “on the other hand”, but this may occur with a considerable delay. (Thomas Fuchs. The not-yet-conscious Protentional consciousness and the emergence of the new.)

Who are the people attending Elizabeth Woodville's funeral?Are they all her relatives?

Hi! Yes, her three daughters - Anne, Katherine and Bridget as well as her only son Thomas Grey with his wife and their daughter (Elizabeth’s granddaughter), her nieces and nephews, Cecily’s husband - Elizabeth’s son-in-law, Edward IV’s closest male relative Edmund de la Pole.

Mourners were soon arriving, however, three of her unmarried daughters arrived on Tuesday 12 June, Princesses Anne (born 1475), Katherine (born 1479), and Bridget (born 1480) and her daughter-in—law, Cecily Bonville, the wife of her eldest son and marchioness of Dorset. With them was an unmarried niece, Elizabeth, the daughter of Katherine Woodville, sister to the dead queen and dowager duchess of Buckingham, a grand-daughter, one of the daughters of her son the marquess of Dorset and yet another niece, Elizabeth, Lady Herbert in her own right as the only child of William Herbert, Lord Herbert and Earl of Huntingdon and Pembroke; and his first wife, Mary, another sister of the dead queen — the herald-narrator is apparently not aware that the sixteen year-old heiress had just been married in the king's presence on 2 June to his favourite, Sir Charles Somerset. There also arrived Lady Egremont, Dame Katherine Grey, and Dame Guildford, either the wife of Sir John Guildford or his son, Sir Richard, a family closely linked to the Woodvilles and Hautes. Part of the narrative seems to be missing at this point; it probably reported that these ladies knelt around the hearse according to their rank, while Dirige was sung. On Wednesday 13 June a mass of requiem was held while the three daughters knelt at ‘the hed’, their gentlewomen behind them. That same morning arrived Thomas, Marquess Dorset, the queen’s son, and Edmund de La Pole, son of the duke of Suffolk, the closest living male relative of Edward IV, Henry Bourchier, Earl of Essex, a nephew of the dead queen by her sister, Anne, John, Viscount Welles, who had married Cecily, the second surviving daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, Sir Charles Somerset; the brand-new husband of Elizabeth, Lady Herbert and, last of the seculars, Sir Roger Cotton, Edward Haute, her second cousin through their common grandfather, Richard Woodville, Master Edmund Chaderton also came, once treasurer of Richard III and now chancellor to Queen Elizabeth of York.

[boyfridged]

i watched the first episode of the last of us (don't expect that i will watch more of it, i don't have that sort of attention span) and the watch... THE WATCH. the symbolism... the time that has stopped at the death of the loved one... and the same theme in batman... the clock leading to the batcave... winick's more time in which jay tries to fix thomas' watch and doesn't manage to finish it before he dies but does it years after he came back... (in a metaphorical sense also a surprisingly optimistic look at j & b's relationship?? is the mourning season over?? is the time not frozen anymore?). btw as fuchs says in his paper presence in absence: the ambiguous phenomenology of grief “the temporality of grief may be described as a separation of two forms of time, one flowing, one arrested" the grievers being partially arrested in time along with the dead... well they at least have this duality, but the dead/ghosts/revenants? countdown... the borrowed time, out of time, "we live on the clock, even in the best of times" goodbye goodbye goodbye
