Posthuman Affirmative Business Ethics: Reimagining Human-Animal Relations Through Speculative Fiction.

Posthuman affirmative ethics relies upon a fluid, nomadic conception of the ethical subject who develops affective, material and immaterial connections to multiple others. Our purpose in this paper is to consider what posthuman affirmative business ethics would look like, and to reflect on the shift in thinking and practice this would involve. The need for a revised understanding of human-animal relations in business ethics is amplified by crises such as climate change and pandemics that are related to ecologically destructive business practices such as factory farming.

Using the heterotopic mirror to reveal tensions in public reaction to a photographic essay of eldercare staff and older adults.

This paper analyses a photographic essay of older adults and workers in a nursing home environment, as a day-in-the-life documentary photographic essay Who cares published in Kai Tiaki, Nursing New Zealand in 2006. We discuss the essay, which intended to make eldercare work more visible and valued. The purpose of this paper is to ask, 'Why were these photographs so uncomfortable to view, and why did they elicit such strong polysemous reactions from viewers?' We argue that in order to address this question, sites of eldercare may be understood as heterotopias, or places of exclusion from social norms.

Transforming at-one-ment: Spielrein, Jung, Bion.

To remedy the relative neglect of the contribution of Sabina Spielrein to psychoanalysis this article details her early life, psychiatric hospitalization, analysis by Jung, love affair with him, extracts from her diary, correspondence with Jung and Freud, and published writing. Together this material highlights Spielrein's pioneering insights regarding the involvement of what Bion subsequently called "at-one-ment" in (a) the transformations effected by the transference-countertransference of patient and analyst in analysis, (b) art, (c) symbolism as universalizing inspiration or defence, (d) the death instinct, (e) the subconscious as semiotic mediator between what is conscious and unconscious, and (f) children's early language acquisition.

Marion Milner, mysticism and psychoanalysis.

It is unusual to combine mysticism and psychoanalysis. Marion Milner, however, achieved precisely this. Through her self-analysis and analytic work with children and adults--and using as an illustration her own and others' imaginative ideas, paintings, doodles, drawings and pictures--she drew attention to the potential for health and creativity of undoing the obstacles to mystical experience of oneness with what is beyond or other than the self, which she sometimes called God, the unconscious or the id.
