"[O]fficial silence is another form of appropriation. It prevents public witnessing. It forges a secret history, an act of political resistance through keeping alive the memory of things denied.
The totalitarian state rules by collective forgetting, by denying the collective experience of suffering, and thus creates a culture of terror."
Arthur Kleinman and Joan Kleinman, “The Appeal of Experience; The Dismay of Images" (1998): 17.

If you are interested in links between hippocampal #theta oscillations, neural #representations, and #memory, I have a review just for you, published today (https://doi.org/10.3389/fncel.2023.1233849) 
We tried to link a lot of concepts that may seem disconnected (e.g. behavioral timescale plasticity and theta sequences), but hear me out… 
Latest papers: Rosa Cao & Jared Warren argue against the common slogan that mental #representations ”stand in for” the things they represent @philosophy @philosophyofmind https://doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2023.2207594
#Representations and #images *flow* through #history, their sources often obscure, discharging into a permanently impermanent present, just like rivers.

"The #neural #representations of a perceived image and the memory of it are almost the same. New work shows how and why they are different."

Hello #histodons
I am an historian of early modern Italy at the University of Warwick. My first two books were on universities in #Renaissance #Tuscany. My current interests are in the histories of #crime #violence and #folklore across Europe. I am editing a #cultural #history of violence in early modern Europe. Other projects include #literary #representations of violence and a study of #insults.
"[...] this text is to insist that #datasets in #computervision should not be treated as mere collections of #data points or #representations that can be simply compared quantitatively. [...] If the #photos cut the #lab into pieces, to assemble #faces1999 implied a potential stitching of these fragments. [...] There was #cohesion if not #coherence. [...] Faces1999 is not a small version of a contemporary #dataset. A quantitative change reaches out into other dimensions, another space, another coherence, another division of #labour and another #photographic practice. Another #volumetricregime.
[...] It matters because recognising its volumetric regime changes the questions that can be asked to current datasets too. Instead of asking how large they are, how much they have evolved, I may be asking to which volumetric regime they belong (and they help enact in return). Which means a flurry of new questions need to be raised: what are the dataset's passageways? How do they split and stitch? What are its conjunctive surfaces? What is the division of labour that subtends it? How is the photographic apparatus involved in the regularisation of their objects? And what counts as photographic apparatus in this operation?"
