Transhumanism Without Transindividuation in the Age Without Epochality: Stiegler, Vice, and Radical Human Enhancement

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT At its core, transhumanism is utopic and apocalyptic: it tells us we will be saved through an imminent radical change of our being wrought by radical human enhancement (RHE) technologies. We are rushing, its supporters claim, towards a technological utopia so long as assorted techno‐phobes do not stand in the way.

Weakly dissipative systems in celestial mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We investigate the dynamics associated to nearly integrable dissipative systems, with particular reference to some models of Celestial Mechanics which can be described in a weakly dissipative framework.

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Persistent Instability in Policy Debates: The Three‐Body Problem of Trade, Agriculture and the Environment

open access: yesJCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature on policy debates often analyses cases involving either a single or two policy fields, which typically result in stable equilibria, manifesting either as outright rejection of policy proposals, successful institutional change or the entrenchment of divisions into a deadlock.

Between Laws and Models: Some Philosophical Morals of Lagrangian Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
I extract some philosophical morals from some aspects of Lagrangian mechanics. (A companion paper will present similar morals from Hamiltonian mechanics and Hamilton-Jacobi theory.) One main moral concerns methodology: Lagrangian mechanics provides a ...

Religio‐Racial Lines, Intimate Ties: Christian–Muslim Couples, Birth Rituals, and the Bounds of Belonging

open access: yesJournal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building on scholarship that conceptualizes race and religion as co‐constitutive forces within a “race‐religion constellation,” this article explores how this entanglement—profoundly infused and structured by secularity—is lived and negotiated in everyday life.
