The Déjà Vu: Black Dreams & Black Time by Gabrielle Civil Pdf

Gabrielle Civil mines black dreams and black time to create a vibrant archive of black feminist experiences and creative expressions. Birthed at the intersection of pandemic and protest uprising, the déjà vu encircles forms both new and ancestral, drawing movement, speech, recollection, and essay into memoir. As Civil considers a spectrum of artworks--the poetry of Wanda Coleman, Haitian tourist paintings, her own dance ritual for MLK Day, Montreal street art, the 2019 film Waves--she thinks deeply about expansive black life beyond the white gaze. Full of joyful exuberance, intimacy, and humor, the déjà vu elides the boundaries between memory, dream, grief, and love to imagine the reverberations of a black future.

The Deja Vu Experience by Alan S. Brown Pdf

Most of us have been perplexed by a strange sense of familiarity when doing something for the first time. We feel that we have been here before, or done this before, but know for sure that this is impossible. In fact, according to numerous surveys, about two-thirds of us have experienced déjà vu at least once, and most of us have had multiple experiences. There are a number of credible scientific interpretations of déjà vu, and this book summarizes the broad range of published work from philosophy, religion, neurology, sociology, memory, perception, psychopathology, and psychopharmacology. This book also includes discussion of cognitive functioning in retrieval and familiarity, neuronal transmission, and double perception during the déjà vu experience.

The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Déjà Vu by Chris Moulin Pdf

Déjà vu is one of the most complex and subjective of all memory phenomena. It is an infrequent and striking mental experience, where the feeling of familiarity is combined with the knowledge that this feeling is false. While until recently it was an aspect of memory largely overlooked by mainstream cognitive psychology, this book brings together the growing scientific literature on déjà vu, making the case for it as a metacognitive phenomenon. The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Déjà Vu reviews clinical, experimental and neuroimaging methods, focusing on how memory disorders and neurological dysfunction relate to the experience. Examining déjà vu as a memory phenomenon, Chris Moulin explores how the experience of déjà vu in special populations, such as healthy aging or those with schizophrenia, provides new insights into understanding this phenomenon. He considers the extensive data on déjà vu in people with epilepsy, dementia and other neurological conditions, assessing neuropsychological theories of déjà vu formation. Essential reading for all students and researchers interested in memory disorders, this valuable book presents the case for déjà vu as a ‘healthy’ phenomenon only experienced by people with sufficient cognitive resources to oppose and detect the false feeling of familiarity.

Déjà Vu by Peter Krapp Pdf

Referring to a past that never was, déjà vu shares a structure not only with fiction, but also with the ever more sophisticated effects of media technology. Tracing the term from the end of the nineteenth century, when it was first popularized in the pages of the Revue philosophique, Peter Krapp examines the genealogy and history of the singular and unrepeatable experience of déjà vu. This provocative book offers a refreshing counterpoint to the clichéd celebrations of cultural memory and forces us do a double take on the sanctimonious warnings against forgetting so common in our time.Disturbances of cultural memory-screen memories, false recognitions, premonitions-disrupt the comfort zone of memorial culture: strictly speaking, déjà vu is neither a failure of memory nor a form of forgetting. Krapp's analysis of such disturbances in literature, art, and mass media introduces, historicizes, and theorizes what it means to speak of an economy of attention or distraction. Reaching from the early psychoanalytic texts of Sigmund Freud to the plays of Heiner Müller, this exploration of the effects of déjà vu pivots around the work of Walter Benjamin and includes readings of kitsch and aura in Andy Warhol's work, of cinematic violence and certain exaggerated claims about shooting and cutting, of the memorial character of architecture, and of the high expectations raised by the Internet.Peter Krapp, lecturer in the Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota, coedited "Medium Cool," a special issue of the South Atlantic Quarterly on contemporary media theory. He has published in the fields of German studies, media studies, and literary theory and, since 1995, has acted as editor of the Hydra Web site for theories of literature and media.

Déjà vu and Other Dissociative States in Memory by Akira R. O’Connor,Chris J. A. Moulin Pdf

This book collates the work of world-leading researchers on déjà vu and other dissociative states of memory and presents a snapshot of the state of the art in research on these strange phenomena. Déjà vu is the eerie feeling of familiarity for something that you know you have not experienced before—the dissociation between what you feel about your memory and what you know to be true about it. For centuries, it has inspired authors, artists and musicians, leaving psychologists struggling to keep up. The past 20 years though, has seen an explosion in research on déjà vu and related experiences. From attempts to generate déjà vu in the laboratory, to the study of patients who present with unusual forms of the experience, cognitive psychology has begun applying a range of both novel and established techniques to study these psychological experiences that have long captivated the public imagination. Déjà vu and Other Dissociative States in Memory is an insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Psychology including Cognitive Psychology, and Neuroscience. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Memory.

The Déjà Vu Enigma by Marie D. Jones,Larry Flaxman Pdf

A deep dive into one of the most widely reported mysteries of the mind—both the scientific and paranormal theories—from the authors of The Grid. You feel like you’ve done something before . . . even as you do it for the very first time. You engage in a conversation and suddenly realize you’ve spoken those same words before . . . to the very same person. Yet you’re positive it’s the first time you’ve ever met. Déjà vu is the eerie sensation of “remembering” an experience or situation that never occurred. Scientific research into déjà vu has revealed intriguing theories, ranging from short-term memory misfires to neurophysiological disorders. Yet other theories suggest more paranormal causes for déjà vu, such as glimpses into parallel realities. Perhaps the true explanation lies somewhere in between. But déjà vu is only one of the many mysteries of the mind. The Déjà Vu Enigma also explores: Memory lapses, missing time, and fugue states The brain as both receiver and transmitter of reality Altered states of perception and consciousness, from hallucinations to religious visions Contagious thought, curses, demonic possession, and mass hysteria Dream states, lucid dreaming, and precognitive dreams The Grid and parallel universes as travel routes for mind trips, brain flips, and time slips Come journey through a world as vast and uncharted as the Cosmos. A journey through the Inner Universe—the human mind. “From the dynamic team of Marie D. Jones & Larry Flaxman who have brought us some many wonderful books on fringe subject matter . . . a completely thought-provoking study.” —HorrorNews.net

Deja Vu, Again? by Deborah Jones Pdf

Annie Dales has been intrigued her whole life by the strange legacy left by her great-great-grandmother. In 1884, Grandma Sarah was only twelve years old and foretold that the second daughter in Annies generation was to be named Annie McGuire. WHY did Sarah insist on naming her? HOW did she know Annie would meet and fall in love with a man named McGuire over a century later, after having been married once before? WHY did Annie begin to feel that she had met Sarah before? WHAT had happened to the satchel full of gold coins worth forty thousand dollars in 1884, the same year Sarah named her? WHO was the Annie in Sarahs life who so influenced her? Annie Dales and David McGuire become obsessed with these questions after they meet. After they accidentally discover the portal to the past, they fall back through time one hundred and twenty years into Sarahs life in 1884. Joy, awe and astonishment-all vie for their attention. There, in the Terre Haute, Indiana of another century, an incredible unbelievable adventure begins. Annie and David visit the Terre Haute of the nineteenth century for only four wonderful, poignant days. The simplicity and joie de vivre of the times are captivating. The simple farm family and the sophisticated couple from the future bond almost immediately. Within days Sarahs grandfather and uncle are brutally murdered for their gold and Annie and David grieve with the family, knowing all the while that the deaths were predestined. A nasty hotel clerk trying to pin the murder of Sarahs grandfather and great-uncle on them is sidetracked at the last minute. Escaping one step ahead of the law, and breathing a sigh of relief, Annie and David are at last back in their own time. As if the hidden cache of gold has waited all these years for only Annie to find it, clues hidden in plain sight brilliantly make sense. The satchel is revealed behind a false wall in the basement of Annies house. The final piece of Annies happiness falls into place when David tells Annie he is just going to have to marry her, not everyone can say that their love was preordained over a century before their births. Sarah may have blessed their love by writing Annies last name as Davids in the journal, but Annie and David made their own love in this century and the last.

The Déjà-vu and the Authentic by Jean-Jacques Chardin Pdf

The correlated concepts of the déjà-vu and the authentic suggest that all cultural productions are per se palimpsests whose construction is the result of such processes as reprise, recycling, and recuperating. Reprise is approached as various forms of citation, reference and intertextuality; recycling is defined as commodification and intellectual impoverishment; while recuperating implies the ideological process that makes reappropriation possible. By covering a wide spectrum of research interests, from literature to music, art and the cinema, the seventeen contributions in English or in French explore the political and ethical implications inherent in the creation of culture.

Deja Vu and the End of History by Paolo Virno Pdf

Déjà vu, which doubles and confuses our experience of time, is a psychological phenomenon with peculiar relevance to our contemporary historical circumstances. From this starting point, the acclaimed Italian philosopher Paolo Virno examines the construct of memory, the passage of time, and the “end of history.” Through thinkers such as Bergson, Kojève and Nietzsche, Virno shows how our perception of history can become suspended or paralysed, making the distinction between “before” and “after,” cause and effect, seem derisory. In examining the way the experience of time becomes historical, Virno forms a radical new theory of historical temporality.
