...Furthermore, this episode could be read through the state, as a moment of state territorialization, where emerging regimes of truth seek to overwrite the mētis (Scott 1998) of a people who seek to resist the interpolative hail of state and market and the remaking of their everyday spaces....

TL;DR: After decades of pioneering work in the neurosciences, the fundamental importance of brain biology in the human condition has now become evident and one of the new syntheses will draw upon neurochemistry and neurophysiology, and it is to the great credit of the Hungarian neuroscience that pharmacologist Joseph Knoll has now ventured a first attempt.

Abstract: About 50 years of demolition work, it's time now for a return to the grand syntheses. Two of the great syntheses of the 19th century have now been shattered. Marxism lies in fragments. And psychoanalysis has largely drifted outside of psychiatry to find a new and doubtless temporary home in departments of literary studies. To be sure, the third of the great syntheses, Darwin's theory of evolution, remains intact. But otherwise, as far as the eye can see, there is rubble. The time for new attempts at synthesis is now nigh. After decades of pioneering work in the neurosciences, the fundamental importance of brain biology in the human condition has now become evident. Surely one of the new syntheses will draw upon neurochemistry and neurophysiology, and it is to the great credit of the Hungarian neurosciences that pharmacologist Joseph Knoll has now ventured a first attempt. This attempt will be widely discussed and will form the platform for other work that may end up building firm bridges between "neuroenhancers" and behavior - and, what's more, to show how this relationship has shaped the evolution of thousands of years of human destiny, a great synthesis indeed.

Abstract: WE HAVE BEEN WARNED IN RECENT YEARS, BY GEORGE RUDE AND OTHERS, against the loose employment of the term \"mob\". I wish in this article to extend the warning to the term \"riot\", especially where the food riot in eighteenth-century England is concerned. This simple four-letter word can conceal what may be described as a spasmodic view of popular history. According to this view the common people can scarcely be taken as historical agents before the French Revolution. Before this period they intrude occasionally and
