stories found on the Schizophrenia Message Board... might be a good source for real life hallucination stories for my editorial.

www.healthboards.com

for this final major project i wanted a new load of hallucination stories to work with from a border range of people. In brief 5 i only really asked people of a similar age and background so the stories were mainly alcohol/clubbing related, therefore for this project i have posted a thread on a health message board to recruit stories from people with health problems such as dementia and schizophrenia, which will make the content of my editorial more interesting!

Wallpaper* commissioned Airside's Malika Favre to rework her Alphabunnies typeface (which we posted about last year) into a new, sexy typeface specially for the issue. "I kept my favourite letter - the G - and explored different ways to design the rest," says Favre. "I feel that the poses are more sophisticated but the spirit remains the same: sexy Amazons exploring the joys of foreplay."

THEORIES...Michael Polanyi and tacit knowledge...

TACIT KNOWLEDGE

Polanyi's argument was that the informed guesses, hunches and imaginings that are part of exploratory acts are motivated by what he describes as 'passions'. They might well be aimed at discovering 'truth', but they are not necessarily in a form that can be stated in propositional or formal terms. As Michael Polanyi (1967: 4) wrote in The Tacit Dimension, we should start from the fact that 'we can know more than we can tell'. He termed this pre-logical phase of knowing as 'tacit knowledge'. Tacit knowledge comprises a range of conceptual and sensory information and images that can be brought to bear in an attempt to make sense of something (see Hodgkin 1991). Many bits of tacit knowledge can be brought together to help form a new model or theory.

Coraline - A young girl walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life - only much better. But when her adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents (including Other Mother) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home - and save her family.

A hallucination is a sensory perception without a source in the external world. The English word "hallucination" comes from the Latin verb hallucinari, which means "to wander in the mind."
