Those concerns persist, especially now that people have become accustomed to being able to reach one another immediately and constantly. People tossed them into automobile glove boxes, or carried them in pockets or purses only when the perception of risk or the need for coordination seemed required. When it first became generally popular in the late 1990s, mobile handsets often were bought as insurance against surprises or emergencies. Some of those reasons recall the original uses of the cell phone. And where they remained, they have become so uncool as to make their adoption grounds for public shame.īut there are reasons to prefer a phone as a portable communications tool instead of a compulsive, general-purpose computer. Since the iPhone and Android rose to prominence, high-quality, reliable alternatives to smartphones have all but disappeared in the developed world. Late last year, the company unveiled two new, $25 feature phone models, marketed to the billions of feature phone users in Europe, the Asia Pacific, India, the Middle East, and Africa. HMD Global, the Finnish company that licensed Nokia technology and branding back from Microsoft sees more opportunity in these markets. Even in sub-Saharan Africa, smartphones only overtook feature phones sales in the last two years. Thanks to their low cost, feature phones have remained popular in the developing world, where they have always been more common than traditional computers. Phones like the Nokia 3310 never went fully extinct, despite the geological devastation of the iPhonecene. One that offers a sense of how even the most entrenched technological habits might yet turn out differently. But it’s also possible that the 3310 marks the start of a new period of technological mobility. Ha-ha, what if you could get a dumbphone instead? It would pair perfectly with a milk crate full of vinyl albums. But even under today’s conditions, it is tempting to see the new Nokia 3310 merely as another example of retro nostalgia. Given the rising angst of a society run by technology, Nokia might have picked the perfect time to introduce an antidote to the smartphone. Cigarettes, after all, produce pleasure even as they slowly kill. Only recently has it become possible to admit that it might be both. The demand of constant, unceasing attention from apps like Snapchat and games like Candy Crush Saga has begun to feel like the unpaid labor it always was.įor years, internet-driven, mobile computing technology was heralded as either angel or devil. The logic of amplifying information based on popularity, as Google and Facebook do, has finally revealed its obvious downsides. Years of odious abuse on services like Twitter and Reddit have finally mestastasized into resigned admission. Even though the risk of compulsive obsession with smartphones was clear halfway into their ten-year life, the trauma of that obsession is only starting to dawn on people. The shame of a habit can only emerge once it has reached ubiquity. And for the privilege, consumers pay big bucks, continuously, to keep up with planned obsolescence reinvented as seasonal fashion. 10 years later all anyone does, pretty much, is stroke and fondle one of these things, all day long. Instead, in 2007, Apple made a general-purpose touch-interface computer in the form of a thin glass rectangle, which others have copied and adapted ever since. And all the rest of them, flip or clamshell or candy-bar, had assumed that phone calls and text messages would define portable handheld computing. They’d also mistaken the physical keyboard for a requirement. BlackBerry and Palm had failed to guess that smartphones would appeal to a general audience, not just to business users. In retrospect, the story of all these devices’ downfall is an obvious one. Over the first half-decade of mass-market mobile devices, everything was attempted and nothing was holy. The Nokia N-Gage even tried, and failed, to merge the mobile handset with the portable game system. Teens thumb-typed too-but texts instead of emails, on Danger H iptops. WAP-enabled “feature phones” offered rudimentary, useless access to the internet, while the fat fingers of government officials and corporate executives mashed the keys of BlackBerry 957s and Treo 180s. Slim, black Ericsson flip-phones shared airport security bins alongside silvered Motorola clamshells. Fashionless black bricks crossed the paths of colorful, candy-bar handsets. First released in 2000, the Nokia 3310 emerged during the Cambrian explosion of mobile devices.

All of the characters have some level of charm making them all quite watchable, excluding Koku. Keith gets the majority of the screen time of the two. Our second protagonist, the teenage Koku struggles to maintain relevance until his backstory is fleshed out during the second half. He even has a tragic backstory to complement his gruff design which ties into the story and is revisited before the end to give him a satisfying conclusion to his character arc. It’s all quite neat as well, not cluttering the screen and conveying his organized mind. Whenever he’s in deep thought putting the pieces of a mystery together we see his thoughts visibly through words and diagrams that appear onscreen. Keith's intelligence makes him a perfect lead to see this investigation from. He’s sort of inept in social situations which derives plenty of comedy that I found quite funny. One being the enigmatic Koku with his black wings and nack for murdering criminals the other is Keith Flick a gruff former detective who’s helping out the police hunt down killer B. It’s not really a traditional mystery because (like Death Note) the titular ‘Killer B’ that the title alludes to is revealed in the first episode and is one of our two protagonists. To start I’ll say, B: The Beginning is a thriller with plenty of twists and turns in its story to keep you interested. Large Cast of Supporting Characters are Underdeveloped In my opinion, there’s enough good in this show to outweigh the negatives, but to summarize them before diving into the analysis: other in only a brief 12 episode season makes for slightly underdone execution and lacking development. It is in one part a sci-fi police procedural similar to Psycho-Pass, but simultaneously a game of cat and mouse like Death Note. The story is totally insane on paper but is somehow even more bewildering in action thanks to such lovingly crafted visuals by Production I.G. Sure it stumbles a bit along the way, but the final result is undeniably an ambitious and thoroughly entertaining ride worth watching. It’s so rare to see an anime of such high quality to take as many risks as B: The Beginning does. But we watched the trial closely, hoping it would bring us closure. We did not attend the trial because we could not bear to sit in a courtroom and repeatedly watch videos of our son’s murder, and because we have been subjected to many hurtful and nasty comments in the past year. Rittenhouse’s other victims, Joseph Rosenbaum and Gaige Grosskreutz. There was no justice today for Anthony, or for Mr. "We are heartbroken and angry that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted in his criminal trial for the murder of our son Anthony Huber. The full statement from Huber's parents is below: We ask that you remember Anthony and keep him in your prayers." "He is a hero who sacrificed his own life to protect other innocent civilians. "We are so proud of Anthony, and we love him so much," they said. The parents said Anthony Huber was shot in the chest trying to disarm Rittenhouse and "stop his shooting spree." Rittenhouse nor the Kenosha police who authorized his bloody rampage will escape justice. "Make no mistake: our fight to hold those responsible for Anthony’s death accountable continues in full force," they added. It sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street."īloom and John Huber called for others to join them in rejecting that message and demanding more of laws, officials and the justice system. Today’s verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son. ".We watched the trial closely, hoping it would bring us closure," they said in a statement released through attorneys. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, R-Ga., called Kyle Rittenhouse “one of good ones,” while New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said calling the verdict a “miscarriage of justice is an understatement." Resolving these competing views is precisely what juries are for.Rep. Indeed, in a very real sense, two competing views of the equities of the situation can coexist: the protesters/victims could have believed they were lawfully, even heroically, chasing down an active shooter, and Rittenhouse could have believed he was justified in firing his weapon the first time and was then being chased by an angry mob against which he defended himself by continuing to discharge his weapon. In reality, the viability of a self-defense claim doesn’t turn on subjective views of the relative righteousness of the conduct of Rittenhouse versus that of the protesters. Because none of those conclusions satisfy the extremely high evidentiary burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If you think my client is “very likely guilty” again, you must vote not guilty. If you think my client’s “probably guilty” you must vote not guilty. That means if you think my client “might be guilty” you must vote not guilty. In many criminal cases I tried, defense attorneys would tell the jury: Ladies and gentlemen, you must be satisfied that the evidence proves my client’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. And that's before the judge’s (let's call them) peculiarities. One thing’s for sure: Disproving self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt, particularly when there is video showing the victims acting aggressively toward, and, arguably, even assaulting Rittenhouse as he was firing his weapon, made a conviction difficult. Let’s hope the jury’s decision was based exclusively on the evidence introduced during the the trial. Only the jurors know why they had reasonable doubt about Rittenhouse’s guilt. This latter view paints the shooting victims as heroes who were chasing down and trying to disarm an active shooter after Rittenhouse fired his assault-style rifle at the first victim. Though Rittenhouse’s victims were white, there are others who label him a young racist with an itchy trigger finger who opened fire without cause on people protesting police abuse. Some people hail Rittenhouse as a vigilante hero of sorts, a free-agent crime fighter determined to protect property and promote order in a city taken over by lawless rioters. The jury’s resolution of the charges may also have been complicated by the wildly divergent views of the case: based not on facts but on the politics or ideology of the person following the case. This was inarguably inappropriate judicial conduct. Or maybe the acquittals had something to do with Schroeder on Veterans Day inviting everyone in the courtroom to join him in a round of applause recognizing the military service of a defense witness about to testify. In order to stop Naboris, Link must enter Gerudo Town and seek counsel with Riju, the Gerudo chief, and offer to quell it. The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - The Champions' Ballad Reviewġ6 December 2017 Entrance to the Divine Beast Until Link arrives to calm Naboris, it caused problems for people in the Gerudo Desert, obstructing travel and deterring visitors. Under Ganon's control, Naboris wanders the East Barrens of the Gerudo Desert, threatening the inhabitants of Gerudo Desert with the risk of being struck from its lightning should it travel too close. Ī century later, Ganon's power grew strong enough to remotely control the Divine Beasts once more even in his imprisonment. The losing battle resulted in Link becoming seriously wounded and being taken to the Shrine of Resurrection to recover while Zelda fended off Ganon alone while Link was dormant in the Slumber of Restoration. Urbosa was killed by Thunderblight Ganon, a being created by Ganon to seize control of Naboris. However, despite Link's, Princess Zelda's and the four Champions' best efforts and preparations, Ganon surprised them by corrupting and taking control of the Divine Beasts. It was also during this time that Naboris served as the protector of the Gerudo people of Gerudo Desert. The Gerudo chief Urbosa was chosen to operate Naboris. In preparation of stopping Ganon's return, the Divine Beasts were rediscovered after being excavated and four new Champions were chosen to pilot them. ġ10 years before the events of Breath of the Wild, the Royal Family of Hyrule was warned by a fortune teller of Ganon's return. With their overwhelming technological might, their efforts were successful and Ganon was sealed away for thousands of years. Four Champions were picked to pilot the Divine Beasts, who launched a full-scale attack on Ganon, headed by a princess and a hero wielding the Master Sword. Naboris was created over 10,000 years ago by the Sheikah, along with the other three Divine Beasts and Guardians, to combat Calamity Ganon. Helen and Demba round out Gorilla Forest in what we affectionately call our old lady group or geriatric group.Ĭlick hereto learn more about gorillas in the remnant wild and how you can be an informed ambassador. Mshindi’s group includes Mia, Paki and Kweli. The bachelor group includes Cecil, Kicho, Bengati and Jelani. Jelani can be seen daily in rotation with the other nine gorillas in Gorilla Forest. Recent data shows the number of Western lowland gorillas to be about 100,000. All four subspecies of gorilla are endangered and are facing an extremely high risk of extinction due to various causes including loss of habitat, poaching, and viruses. Western gorillas, including western lowland, are found in WestCentral Africa, between the Congo and Niger rivers. Presently, there are two species of gorillas (each with two subspecies), inhabiting four small separate regions in Africa. Lead Keeper in Gorilla Forest, Michelle Wise said, “The conversation generally starts with, ‘Is this Jelani who loves photos?’ and then we are able to move into facts about Jelani and ultimately tell the story of western lowland gorillas in wild places.” Zookeepers in Gorilla Forest have used this opportunity as a segue to discuss gorillas in the remnant wild with guests. Through this moment, we were able to further tell the story of western lowland gorillas and engage people in conversations about Jelani’s wild counterparts, primate conservation and the important part zoos play in conservation advocacy. Jelani was seen on NBC’s TODAYshow, ABC’s Good Morning America, Daily, , Inside Edition and nearly 25 other blog sites including international websites in Pakistan, Australia, Africa and the United Kingdom. The Zoo’s PR office has taken calls from all over the country from people gathering more information about the photo-loving gorilla who resides in Louisville’s award-winning Gorilla Forest. Special moments like these will stay with our guests for a lifetime and encourage them to be ambassadors for our planet and its wildlife. For a guest to have a magical moment with any of our animals is crucial to our mission of bettering the bond between people and our planet. We love and covet the moments when families get to build memories with our animal ambassadors like Jelani. Interaction and connection are like precious gems to us at the Zoo. Dylan enjoyed his notoriety but was quick to tell us that, “Out of the whole experience, the best part was spending time with Jelani.” In fact, a dwindling phone battery was the only thing that pulled Dylan away - who said he’s looking forward to his next visit with Jelani. We’ve been to zoos all over and never had such a thing happen.” The moment that wowed those at the Louisville Zoo that day, wowed a nation through the magic of video sharing. Dylan’s mother Vicky described the experience as “magical” and added, “We knew something special was happening. It is truly amazing when anything is noticed. Studies estimate over 72 hours of video is uploaded every minute and over 4 billion hours of video already exists. Viral videos are like lightning in a bottle. Dylan obliges and shortly afterward the video posted on Reddit and YouTube goes viral, receiving millions of views. The crowd grows and Ross asks Dylan if he can post the video to YouTube. Ross sees a golden opportunity and records video - and ta da, a star is born. The star, Louisville Zoo’s 18 year-old Gorilla Jelani, is tapping the window encouraging 19-year-old Dylan Mehringer to scroll to the next gorilla photo on his smartphone. A large, hairy hand taps the window in Gorilla Forest and a collective, “AOne person in particular, Paul Ross, a professional videographer, was on his first visit to the Zoo with his one year old, Emma. Parapsychologist William Fletcher Barrett wrote that "automatic messages may take place either by the writer passively holding a pencil on a sheet of paper, or by the planchette, or by a 'ouija board'." In spiritualism, spirits are claimed to take control of the hand of a medium to write messages, letters, and even entire books. Dee also claimed that the Enochian instruction included information regarding the elixir of life in the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey. The language is said to be extremely detailed and complex with its own grammar and rules. In the West, an early example of the practice is the 16th-century Enochian language, allegedly dictated to John Dee and Edward Kelley by Enochian angels and integral to the practice of Enochian magic. The spread of Chinese cultural techniques, such as printing and painting, introduced the influence of "spirit writing", practiced by Japanese Zen Ōbaku monks, who were said to communicate with an ancient Taoist sage credited with creating the kung fu system. In the 19th century, messages received through spirit writing led to the foundation of several Chinese salvationist religions. Spirit writing, later called Fuji (扶乩/扶箕), has a long tradition in China, where messages from various deities and spirits were received by mediums since the Song dynasty. Documented examples are considered to be the result of the ideomotor phenomenon. There is no evidence supporting the existence of automatic writing, and claims associated with it are unfalsifiable. In the modern era, it is associated with spiritualism and the occult, with notable practitioners including W. Religious and spiritual traditions have incorporated automatic writing, including Fuji in Chinese folk religion and the Enochian language associated with Enochian magic. The instrument may be a standard writing instrument, or it may be one specially designed for automatic writing, such as a planchette or a ouija board. Practitioners engage in automatic writing by holding a writing instrument and allowing alleged spirits to manipulate the practitioner's hand. Automatic writing, also called psychography, is a claimed psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. Did she recognize, “in some measure at least, the deceitfulness of your heart, and that in punishment for your sins God might justly leave you to make yourself as miserable as you have made yourself sinful?” Would Harriet be happy with God alone should the rest of the universe be destroyed, he inquired. Rejoicing in your converted status? Young Harriet felt the boom lowered when a stalwart Edwardsean pastor probed her recent experience of the new birth. Trying to prepare your heart for the Lord? Arminian hubris. Observing the ordinary exercises of religion? Basking in false hope. As Stowe aptly reflected years later, it was a system “calculated, like a skillful engine of torture, to produce all the mental anguish of the most perfect sense of helplessness with the most torturing sense of responsibility.”įurthermore, any number of snares and delusions lay in wait along the way. That is, we must convert and can convert but won’t convert until God ordains it. Repent we can and must, Beecher taught, but only the elect will repent because we need God’s inducement to do so. Yet enough Calvinism remained to gum up the works. That is, salvation typically came by way of a personal experience of conversion in a concentrated episode of spiritual combat. This step was expected to take place in a season of unsparing self-assessment over against the unyielding standards of the Lord, at the end of which struggle one might feel “hopeful” or finally “convicted” of redemption. Human beings each and all were “children of wrath,” bound to eternal perdition unless they came to consciously repent of their sins and submit entirely to the rule of God. The first and last thing to be said about humanity was its obligation to comply with that regime-immediately, consistently, and wholeheartedly-and a person’s first question in life was to see if she did so obey. To fit the times Beecher’s theology did not start from Edwards’s glory of God but from the premise of human free agency under divine moral government. The First, he and his allies said, had been triggered by Edwards himself. He had been converted while a student at Yale by its president Timothy Dwight, Edwards’s grandson, and he dedicated his life to projecting that experience on a national scale, leading the crusade dubbed the Second Great Awakening. Shooting this rapids was the task of men such as Harriet’s father, Lyman Beecher. His social vision, of people tied together in the bonds of organic relationships, gave way to a republic of independent individuals, free agents in a marketplace full of choices. Edwards’s idealist, sometimes mystical, vision was translated into an idiom of bare fact and remorseless logic. God was still an absolute sovereign but also a rationally accountable governor. The result was an Edwards trimmed to the cause of revivalism and transplanted from his framework of beauty to one of law and ethics. Edwards’s successors thought they were doing him a service by isolating what they took to be his main agenda and fitting it to an era, their era, bound by the demands of reason and the American Revolution. Seeing this disparity prompts us to ponder how legacies can be passed along and what might happen to them through the toils of time and chance. Indeed, she saw the opposite, a God who was distant, impossible to please, meager in grace, and willing to see multitudes suffer in the present age for some glory known only to him in a distant age to come. This Edwards is full of the light and divine love for which Stowe was starving. To be shepherded into his presence.” As 16-year-old Harriet put it in a letter to her pastor-brother: “I sometimes wish that the Saviour were visibly present in this world, that I might go to Him for a solution of some of my difficulties.”īut just such a Savior is on offer in the Jonathan Edwards that George Marsden captures in his new An Infinite Fountain of Light: Jonathan Edwards for the Twenty-First Century (IVP, 2023). To know the presence of our faithful God, in every situation. Laura de Jong spoke her longing in this space yesterday: “To feel at home in God. She yearned for beauty and affection in the world, for a God who was nearby. Further, Stowe’s spirit was not optimally designed for their message. Long story short, she thought his mind was awesome, and his influence awful.Īdmittedly, she received “her Edwards” via three generations of intermediaries who were highly selective in their choice of the master’s themes and applied them in a radically different context from his. She was also familiar first-hand with the theology of Jonathan Edwards and remains one of his most astute commentators today. If people recognize Harriet Beecher Stowe, it is as the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the antislavery classic and the best-selling novel of the 19 th century. Treatment algorithms based on an appropriate risk-stratification of patients in the Emergency Department might reduce DNS incidence however, more studies are needed. Our study identified several potential predictive risk factors for DNS. The multivariate analysis confirmed as independent prognostic factors GCS <9 (OR 7.15 CI 95%: 1.04-48.8) and leukocytosis (OR 3.31 CI 95%: 1.02-10.71). There was no significant correlation with age, sex, voluntary exposure, headache, transient loss of consciousness, GCS between 14 and 9, arterial lactate and carboxyhemoglobin concentration. The following variables (collected before or upon Emergency Department admission) were associated to DNS development at one month from hospital discharge in the univariate analysis: CO exposure duration >6 hours, a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score <9, seizures, systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg, elevated creatine phosphokinase concentration and leukocytosis. Five/34 patients previously diagnosed as having DNS presented to the follow-up visit at six months, reporting a complete recovery. Thirty four/141 patients were diagnosed with DNS (24.1%). Three hundred forty seven patients were admitted to the Emergency Department for acute CO poisoning from 1992 to 2007 141/347 patients participated in the follow-up visit at one month from hospital discharge. Clinical and biohumoral data were collected univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify predictive risk factors for DNS. Patients were invited to participate in three follow-up visits at one, six and twelve months from hospital discharge. We retrospectively considered all CO-poisoned patients admitted to the Emergency Department of Careggi University General Hospital (Florence, Italy) from 1992 to 2007. We conducted a retrospective study to identify predictive risk factors for DNS development in the Emergency Department. Early identification of patients at risk in the Emergency Department might permit an improvement in quality of care. The preventive role and the indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the acute setting are still controversial. Delayed neuropsychological sequelae (DNS) commonly occur after recovery from acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Virginia reverses Friedan’s credo that biology is not destiny so that Penelope’s destiny is fame or notoriety on tour throughout the United States as Virginia. DeSimone’s conjuring up of Friedan and Steinem here casts light on the role of the film in terms of second-wave feminism. One says: ‘I can’t tell you how much I admire you, Virginia you put Gloria Steinem to shame!’ ‘Thanks’, replies Virginia, ‘I put them all to shame!’ ‘Them all’ is an interesting concept in this context since a moment later a live TV crew bursts in on the restaurant, the host demanding of Virginia ‘Is there any truth to the rumour that Betty Friedan has challenged you to a debate?’ Any answer that there might have been is obscured as a priest is next to rush in, attempting, in a pastiche of the concerns we saw Robert Coover rather more darkly address, to exorcize Penelope. Viewers follow Penelope as she searches for romance, at the same time that Virginia is searching for sex and fame.Īt the height of her celebrity, Penelope goes to a restaurant with her mother (who has with alarming alacrity set aside her concerns for her daughter once she realizes how profitable Virginia’s fame can be) and Dr Pearl and is quickly surrounded by fans. These tableaux are linked only by the central premise, and are occasionally punctuated by musical routines featuring songs such as ‘Wang Dang Doodle’ and ‘Cock a Doodle Do’. Penelope seeks psychiatric help from a Dr Pearl who later becomes Virginia’s manager and the film, in a structure reminiscent of the porn features DeSimone also directed, unfolds as a series of vignettes. ‘Madam’, the poster asks, ‘how would you react if your “you-know-what” suddenly began to talk and sing?’ Penelope, star – or, crucially, as we shall see, co-star – of Chatterbox, is a self-effacing, socially naïve hairdresser whose vagina – later named ‘Virginia’ – does suddenly begin to talk and sing. ‘It speaks for itself!’ the poster exclaims, asking: ‘she talks with her what?’ The Belgian version of the film poster is even more explicit in that it dispenses with Penelope’s head and torso altogether, leaving instead a pair of stockinged legs balancing that lipsticked open mouth, the ages-old equivalence of lips and labia being quite clear. From her crotch comes a speech bubble which tells us that this is going to be ‘the story of a woman who has a hilarious way of expressing herself’, and that audiences will ‘roar when she sits down to talk!’ Above her is the movie’s title, the ‘o’ of Chatterbox being made up of a woman’s heavily lipsticked open mouth. The movie’s aesthetic is less Breughel or Bosch, then, than Benny Hill, and the US poster makes quite clear the ‘Exploitation’ genre to which the film belongs: a woman (we later find out that she’s the film’s protagonist, Penelope) is dressed in a bikini and heels, her right leg drawn up in a pose which could be read as provocative or self-defensive. The issues to which Chatterbox gives rise are important, focusing as they do on a particular ‘crisis’ of female identity which was articulated by second-wave feminists, and which motivated so many of the writers and artists I’m considering in this book. While Breillat and Von Trier depicted menacing facets of a radical crisis of selfhood, with women’s genitals at its core, DeSimone’s 1977 film Chatterbox is, in its low-budget, kitsch approach, less intense and is not as much of an explicit take on themes which had been explored in Claude Mulot’s earlier porn movie Le Sexe qui Parle (Pussy Talk, 1975). In the 1990s, DeSimone moved into television work, directing the soap opera Acapulco Bay. He made several gay porn movies under the pseudonym of Lancer Brooks (How to Make a Homo Movie (1970)), and has had artistic forays into the camp horror genre, such as 1973’s Sons of Satan which features a gang of satanic homosexual vampires. The film’s director, Tom DeSimone, spent much of the 1970s working in the Exploitation/porn margins of the American film industry. What might the great 1970s feminists Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan have in common with a little-known cult movie in which a woman’s vagina suddenly develops a voice and embarks on a singing career? Chatterbox, a 1970s Sexploitation movie, plays with ideas of nonunitary selfhood, and examines issues of silence, sexual identity and social participation, while charting the protagonist’s desperate attempts to assimilate her ‘body-self’.
