Orphan date February 2009 Automatism , in toxicology , refers to a tendency to take a drug over and over again, forgetting each time that one has already taken the dose. This can lead to a cumulative overdose. A particular example is barbiturates which were once commonly used as hypnotic sleep inducing drugs. Among the current hypnotics, benzodiazepines , especially midazolam might show marked automatism, possibly through their intrinsic anterograde amnesia effect. Barbiturates are known to induce hyperalgesia , i.e. aggravation of pain and for sleeplessness due to pain, if barbiturates are used, more pain and more disorientation would follow leading to drug automation and finally a pseudo suicide. Such reports dominated the medical literature of 60s and 70s a reason replacing the barbiturates with benzodiazepines when they became available. ref Encyclopedia of Family Health, edition 3, from Marshall Cavendish ref ref Lexicon of Psychiatry, Neurology, and the Neurosciences by Frank J Ayd from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000 ref References reflist Category Toxicology pharma stub med toxic stub ... more details
Surrealism infobox Two Surrealist Manifesto s were issued by the Surrealism Surrealist movement , in 1924 and 1929. The first was written by Andr Breton , the second was supervised by him. Breton drafted a third Surrealist manifesto which was never issued. First manifesto The first Surrealist manifesto was written by Breton and released to the public in 1924. The document defines Surrealism as Psychic surrealistautomatismautomatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason , exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern. The text includes numerous examples of the applications of Surrealism to poetry and literature, but makes it clear that its basic tenets can be applied to any circumstance of life not merely restricted to the artistic realm. The importance of the dream as a reservoir of Surrealist inspiration is also highlighted. Breton also discusses his initial encounter with the surreal in a famous description of a hypnagogic state that he experienced in which a strange phrase inexplicably appeared in his mind There is a man cut in two by the window.

Orphan date February 2009 Conscious automatism C.A. is a position on the philosophic question that asks whether determinism , as distinguished from free will , can be considered the sole operant principle in human decision making. C.A. holds that we human beings, like the other animals we generally consider our inferiors, are conscious but respond as automata to our prior conditioning within our physiological powers and limitations in all of our apparently willed decisions. According to this view, the freedom we exercise in decision making, a uniqueness that convention leads us to believe distinguishes us from the other mammals, is illusory, for our motives are all, without exception, caused, in the manner we concede that all other changes are causally initiated in the world around us. Thus in epistemology C.A. is the logical conclusion of a strictly determinist explanation of human conduct and denies that our decision making is free in any sense from causal determinants. Conscious automatism, in refusing the compromise long in vogue among philosophers between freedom and determinism, has as its most disturbing corollary the abandonment of ethicists traditional reliance upon the notion of moral responsibility as the foundation of most moral systems and criminal justice institutions. It is, therefore, one of the most iconoclastic principles adduced in the history of moral philosophy as well, having profound practical societal consequences if widely accepted. The term was recently given significant new substance in the book Grandest Illusion The Seductive Myth of Free Will , ref Echo Park Press, 2006 ref by Norman Haughness, which states forcefully the case for acknowledging the power of exceptionless determinism in human behavior.

The Surrealist group in Stockholm in Swedish language Swedish Surrealistgruppen i Stockholm is a Swedish group of surrealists. It has been criticised as, though it regards itself as a subversive group outside the cultural establishment, some of its members have gone on to occupy more central positions on the Swedish literary Pierre Bourdieu field . Image Ristafallet 1974.jpg thumb 150px Ristafallet The group describes itself as being founded in 1986 , on Midsummer s Eve , close to a waterfall called Ristafallet in H lland in J mtland , in central Sweden . They started to publish collections of poetry or prose texts under their imprint Surrealistf rlaget in 1987 . In an article from 2001 , Lasse S derberg a Swedish writer belonging to an older generation describes them, from an encounter in 1988 as a few serious looking young men , headquartered as the Surrealist research bureau in an antiquarian bookstore close to August Strindberg Strindberg s Blue tower his famous last residence on the street Drottninggatan on Norrmalm .

Stora Saltet contained poetic, surreal texts and the editorials were often philosophical and or political.

Surautomatism is any theory or act in practice of surrealism surrealist creative production taking, or purporting to take, surrealistautomatismautomatism to its most absurd limits. In their 1945 statement Dialectique de la Dialectique , Romania n surrealists Gherashim Luca and Dolfi Trost wrote, We have returned to the problem of knowledge through images... by establishing a clear distinction between images produced by artistic means and images resulting from rigorously applied scientific procedures, such as the operation of chance or of automatism. We stand opposed to the tendency to reproduce, through symbols, certain valid theoretical contents by the use of pictorial techniques, and believe that the unknown that surrounds us can find a staggering materialization of the highest order in indecipherable images. In generally accepting until now pictorial reproductive means, surrealist painting will find that the way to its blossoming lies in the absurd use of aplastic, objective and entirely non artistic procedures. The name surautomatism suggests going beyond automatism, but whether surautomatism is anything but a group of methods by which surrealistautomatism is practiced is controversial. Surautomatism includes cubomania , Surrealist techniques Entopic graphomania entopic graphomania and various types of what the Romanian surrealists called indecipherable writing .
