1. ProAna Worlds: Affectivity and Echo Chambers Online.

Abstract

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder characterised by self-starvation. Accounts of AN typically frame the disorder in individualistic terms: e.g., genetic predisposition, perceptual disturbances of body size and shape, experiential bodily disturbances. Without disputing the role these factors may play in developing AN, we instead draw attention to the way disordered eating practices in AN are actively supported by others. Specifically, we consider how Pro-Anorexia (ProAna) websites—which provide support and solidarity, tips, motivational content, a sense of community, and understanding to individuals with AN—help drive and maintain AN practices. We use C. Thi Nguyen's work on epistemic "echo chambers", along with Maria Lugones' work on "worlds" and "ease", to explore the dynamics of these processes. Adopting this broader temporal and intersubjective perspective, we argue, not only helps to further illuminate the experiential character of AN but also has important clinical and therapeutic significance.

2. Ethics of Memory and Identity Reconstruction in The Sympathizer.

Author

Gao Jianrong

Abstract

Viet Thanh Nguyen's novel, The Sympathizer, depicts the experience of the Vietnam War and Vietnamese immigrants' diaspora in the United States from the perspective of a Viet Cong double agent, and represents Vietnamese immigrants' effort to reconstruct their identity by jogging their memories for an ethical scrutiny. The way in which Vietnamese immigrants execute their self-scrutiny through selective memory and establish their own identity embodies the operating mechanism of the ethics of memory. By restoring whatever has been forgotten in memory based on their ethical choices of memory, they manage to regenerate their self-identity through the ethics of memory. In accordance with their ethical choices, they rebuild their memories of the Vietnam War by textualizing what they have remembered and recall the Vietnamese who were perceived as the other in the discourse of the war, hence recognizing them as such. What is reflected here is the ethics of narrative and the function of the ethics of memory as well. Through The Sympathizer, Nguyen not only breaks the manipulation of Vietnamese immigrants' individual and collective memories by the American national discourse of war recollections since the war ended, but also presents his reconsideration of and deep insights into the Vietnam war and refugee policies.

Abstract

Background: In addition to their great optical properties, nanodiamonds (NDs) have recently proved useful for two-photon-excited photodynamic therapy (TPE-PDT) applications. Indeed, they are able to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) directly upon two-photon excitation but not with one-photon excitation; Methods: Fluorescent NDs (FNDs) with a 100 nm diameter and detonation NDs (DNDs) of 30 nm were compared. In order to use the gems for cancer-cell theranostics, they were encapsulated in a bis(triethoxysilyl)ethylene-based (ENE) periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) shell, and the surface of the formed nanoparticles (NPs) was modified by the direct grafting of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and amino groups using PEG-hexyltriethoxysilane and aminoundecyltriethoxysilane during the sol–gel process. The NPs’ phototoxicity and interaction with MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were evaluated afterwards; Results: Transmission electronic microscopy images showed the formation of core–shell NPs. Infrared spectra and zeta-potential measurements confirmed the grafting of PEG and NH2 groups. The encapsulation of the NDs allowed for the imaging of cancer cells with NDs and for the performance of TPE-PDT of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells with significant mortality. Conclusions: Multifunctional ND@PMO core–shell nanosystems were successfully prepared. The NPs demonstrated high biocompatibility and TPE-PDT efficiency in vitro in the cancer cell model. Such systems hold good potential for two-photon-excited PDT applications.
