“…how the expectations they create will be received by other audiences. Public communication on benefits or results of scientific research and/or technological developments invite response from stakeholders in the field and wider audiences (Ettenhuber 2008). These responses to hype are influenced by societal contexts people exist within; a critical concern in a digitally-connected world (Davis and Jurgenson 2014;Marwick and Boyd 2011).…”

The ‘second quantum revolution’ promises new technologies enabled by quantum physics and has been the subject of substantial hype. We show that while creating expectations has helped secure support for quantum research, their iterative effects can come to affect the field in concrete ways. These iterative impacts for quantum include emerging discussions about ethics and the delivery of promised outcomes. Such contestations could open up alternative quantum futures, but this will depend on how the ‘hype helix’ of iterative expectations unfolds.

“…The value of an interpretive or analytical approach grounded in hyperbole or exaggeration is advocated by a range of scholars for its potential to provide new epistemological and ontological insights (Ettenhuber, 2007;Ritter, 2012;Stanivukovic, 2007). Hyperbole, literally meaning to "throw beyond," is a mode of thought or a form of philosophical inquiry (Ritter, 2012).…”

This article makes the argument that Peter Sloterdijk's philosophy provides a useful and thought-provoking basis for studies of contemporary indoor ecologies. Sloterdijk's philosophy is distinctively attentive to the various environments in which humans exist and of the ecological situation of beings in general. The notions of interiority explored in Sloterdijk's work, particularly the third volume of his Spheres trilogy Foams (2016), provide important tools for conceptualizing the changing nature of indoor spaces and contemporary modes of being in the world. Sloterdijk's approach to philosophical analysis exhibits a number of interrelated advantages that mesh well with the ambitions of human ecology, particularly in relation to indoor ecological conditions. These include his sustained conceptual exploration of technological and scientific developments, his distinctive use of rhetoric and philosophy in the characterization of human agency, and the close attention he pays to the relationship between being and design. This article unpacks the value of these perspectives through a sustained attention to Spheres III: Foams and aims to demonstrate why Sloterdijk's work provides an invaluable philosophical tool kit to foreground and unite scholarship in diverse fields exploring the relationship between interior spaces, human perception, and society.

“…163, 174) since they lend themselves to, in Baudelaire's terms, ‘la sensation du neuf’. As mentioned initially, in violating truth and creating surprise, no trope ventures further than hyperbole, a daring trope which ‘covers a broad spectrum of exaggeration and intensification, from the mildly implausible to the downright impossible’ (Ettenhuber , 197). This explains why Longinus, as Christopher D. Johnson points out, frequently commingles sublimity and hyperbole (in Greek, ‘overshooting’) throughout his treatise (Johnson , 59, 1) .…”

In ‘Théodore de Banville’, Baudelaire highlights hyperbole as the very marrow of modern lyric as it speaks to the very spirit of the word lyre, ‘l'ardente vitalité spirituelle’. In fact, leafing through Les fleurs du mal, one can readily find hyperboles which inspire in the reader the affective intensity of le vertige, a word that recurs in Baudelaire's poetical works. Nevertheless, whilst hyperbole occurs frequently in his poems and is central to his affective poetics, the scholarship on his poetical use of hyperbole is skimpy. The aim of this paper is therefore twofold. First, it seeks to do justice to Baudelaire's keen engagement in hyperbole. There are few Baudelaire critics who have called attention to his taste for hyperbole; moreover, in attending to the issue they show only lukewarm interest. Second, in paying sufficient attention to his fascination with hyperbole, this paper also aims to cast light on how Baudelaire impregnates his hyperboles with Longinian phantasia, ‘image‐production’, to practise the Romantic – subjective and affective – expression of beauty fully.
