ROTTERDAM — At first glance, a four-and-a-half-hour "slow cinema" film, a briskly paced time-travel chronicle, and a self-reflexive avant-garde work, all screening at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (January 22–February 2), would seem to have little in common.

Soph's scripts, which she says she writes with a collaborator, are familiar: a mix of hatred toward Muslims, anti-black racism, Byzantine fearmongering about pedophilia, tissue-thin incel evolutionary psychology, and reflexive misanthropy that could have been copied and pasted from a thousand different 4chan posts.
|
|
It is true that the reflexive blaming of bots suggests that there's real fear of believing that sentient American human beings (people who might be your neighbor or your kids' teachers, or even just a 68-year-old in a basement) share incendiary, potentially unsavory political opinions.

Presently, more than 20153 colleges and universities are under investigation by the Education Department for violating Title IX in their handling of sexual-assault complaints, a problem that has been exacerbated by the reflexive secrecy that veils the disciplinary proceedings at most institutions of higher education.

But one of the vows I took after Trump's stunning political ascent was to refuse to be that surprised again, to refuse to simply laugh at scenarios that seem outlandish or unlikely — because, as they say, that kind of reflexive laughter is how you got Trump.

People generally seem to take issue with this kind of 'karaoke' performance––more than a few people told me they didn't like the lack of band after the show––but there's a wonderfully self-reflexive quality about a karaoke performance that was perfect for Fear the Future.

By seamlessly conflating the terms "collusion" and "conspiracy," and absolving President Trump of both, Mr. Barr revealed that the Russian information warfare technique of "reflexive control" has officially entered American public discourse — and threatens, with his recent allegations of campaign "spying," to stay there for a while.

President Trump's reflexive use of official statements to lie about facts large and small, and his directing of his staff to do the same through the media, are redolent of the Nixon White House, even as Washington shakes almost daily to the sonic booms of revelations.

Trump's reflexive, offensive, taunting, and unintelligent tweeting, bookends neatly with Obama's bowing to fellow heads of state and agreement to a sit-down interview with green-haired, insipid, Cheerios-and-milk-bathing Glozelle, who famously inquired of 44 whether the Castro brothers put the d*** in dictator.

The one thing you begin to notice in this book is that propagating a reflexive skepticism and sowing discord aren't terribly difficult, especially when there's a vested interest willing to pay for it; "merely creating the appearance of controversy" is often all that needs to be done.
|

Some of this stems from my reflexive dislike of reboots and remakes of beloved TV shows; after so much time away, it's difficult for a series to recapture its magic, because a lot of what makes a TV show successful relies on an alchemy that's impossible to replicate.

But there's also a lot of anxiety that comes with being an enthusiast video game player that manifests in the form of incredibly angry debates about the merits of 60 frames per second, high resolutions, and other graphical fidelity minutiae that is rarely analyzed from a reflexive perspective.

When Patrick goes home with the 22-year-old — a fellow video-game designer — Mr. Groff shows us both his almost giddy delight during their (quite explicit) sex and, afterward, his reflexive condescension mixed with alarm as the younger man calls him out for running away from his problems.

Popular culture was a frequent target: Brain's schemes included creating a hit country song, a romance novel, an inspirational sports movie and, in one of many self-reflexive moments, a beloved children's-show duo, all in the name of reducing the global population to a state of drooling pliability.
|

The phrase is a song by the musician Liz Phair; a cognitive-science term coined by Douglas Hofstadter referring to the slippery, reflexive nature of the self; and an allusion to W.E.B. Du Bois's description in The Souls of Black Folk of the "double consciousness" of living while Black.

This reflexive belief that the United States is more apt to do wrong than right in Iran is today reinforced by a palpable anxiety on the American left that any serious support for the pro-democracy demonstrators could slide into new sanctions that could threaten Mr. Obama's nuclear deal.

Today, it's the toxic feedback swirl of Twitter and cable — and a president and a press corps that spend all hours feeding on one another's digital droppings in a dystopian circle of life — that has rendered our political culture so vulnerable to reflexive, narrow-minded conspiracies, tribalism and groupthink.
|

Even given the United States' myopia and reflexive laziness when it comes to opening up to other countries' cultural exports, the lack of exposure to this northern neighbor's theater feels odd, especially considering the outsize influence Canada has always had on pop music and comedy in the United States.

Watch de Gea's reflexive save right here:Or here if you are in a different region: Because Bentancur plays in an unfashionable position, performing an unfashionable role, he does not attract the highlight-reels that Ronaldo and Dybala can create — the goal-ridden ones that most fans truly love.

This is precisely the activism we encounter in The Let Down Reflex, whose title refers to the reflexive lactation of mothers that's sometimes accompanied by a stab of pain, as well as perhaps the ache of invisibility associated with nurturing as a service within the indifferent field of high culture.
|
|
This self-reflexive turn is perhaps the only remaining option for an artist who's cultivated an image of self-awareness, which doubles as a defense against criticism: of course he knows what he's doing, all the ironies are intentional, he's deliberately trying to make himself look ridiculous, goes the argument.
|

The elephant in the room since the shooting in Alexandria has been the tension between elected Republicans' reflexive expectation that one of their colleagues receive outstanding care at essentially no monetary cost to him, and what they believe millions of other Americans should expect if they meet a similarly unlucky fate.

|
It is this fear, anger and sometimes paranoia that lurks beneath the surface of Texas politics and that underlies the expansion of gun rights, the reflexive antagonism toward Washington, and the opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage and other issues that seems essential for succeeding in state politics these days.
|

But Reid argued that Trump has watched Republican leaders over the past seven years of Obama's presidency condone extreme positions in opposition his leadership, ranging from their reflexive opposition to healthcare reform and economic stimulus legislation to Mitt Romney's call for illegal immigrants to deport themselves and the 85033 government shutdown.

And their appeal, not to mention their near-reflexive shareability, is pretty clear: When the world feels like a wet piñata full of shit and spite, it's comforting to know that there are people who not only share your frustrations, but who can articulate them in a way you can't.

In comparing several different varieties of driving distraction, the researchers found that texting had the unique ability to strip away the brain's defensive "sixth sense," a reflexive mechanism that intervenes in cases where a jittery, distracted driver might otherwise drift into another lane or sail off some cliff at high speed.
|
|
But by the 220s, fueled in part by Laura Mulvey's landmark 3553 essay on gaze, "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," art was in a more reflexive mode, and Weems was exploring her own sense of herself in relation to a visual culture in which black women scarcely appeared at all.
|

But its attempt to tell a story about a black cop trying to do the right thing in the era of Black Lives Matter — which at least nods toward not having the same reflexive love of authority that so many other CBS cop dramas do — is both new and different.

Nowhere is the demise of Republican internationalism more evident than in reflexive opposition to diplomatic accords that reduce nuclear dangers, including those negotiated by Republican national-security elders like Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Melvin Laird, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Paul Nitze, George Shultz, George H.W. Bush, Brent Scowcroft and James Baker.

But, and think this was truer in the past, but a lot of times in older Lefty spaces, what I would encounter was an unfamiliarity or reflexive contempt for people who did not share their views, or this suspicion that average people were just like too dumb to get it.

"I believe low volatility to be the result of years of monumental liquidity injections by major central banks and their reflexive effect on investors' behavior and the buy-the-dip mentality, expecting central banks to hold their back," Francesco Filia, chief executive officer of Fasanara Capital, told CNBC via email.

One of the season's best and most self-reflexive moments comes when Welfare Queen (Kia Stevens) and Cherry flip Sam's script during a match and kick the shit out of a pair of Ku Klux Klan characters instead of the helpless old white ladies he'd planned for them to take on.
|
|
Slow R&B burners this fluffy, not to mention cocktail ballads this demonstrative, would already qualify as shamelessly retro if Justin Timberlake sang them; I.U.'s translation of this mode into Korean adds an extra layer of distance, such that the music turns obsessively self-reflexive, containing mirror upon mirror.
|
|
Yes, we need more women antiheroes, more antiheroes of color, and so on — but we also need to think about how the stories we tell create long grooves in our culture, grooves that eventually crystallize into reflexive beliefs about who gets to be the protagonist and how they go about being that protagonist.
|

As many reporters and other reflexive Institution Defenders have been quick to point out, the Great Apptastrophe of 2020 doesn't mean that the caucus results are in jeopardy of somehow being thrown out or lost; a paper backup of all caucus tallies exists, even if it will take longer to report those results.
|
|
The Blair Witch Project framed the fateful encounter between city mice and a woodland predator through a bobbing digital-video lens, and what it kicked off wasn't just a cycle of found-footage films, but themes of self-reflexive self-presentation that has figured into nearly every single one of its imitators.
|
|
A sequence of reflexive tweets and comments about the Russia probe from the White House and Trump's legal team has spectacularly backfired, suggesting that the administration was knocked off balance by news of Michael Flynn's plea deal and raising questions about whether its struggles reflect a deteriorating legal position for the President.
|
|
But if you get past the reflexive response (it helps knowing woolly mammoths were vegetarians) there are some surprisingly sound scientific, ecological and even ethical arguments for trying: The advances may also help preserve endangered species, protect fragile habitat and possibly even curtail global warming (more on that head-scratcher in a bit).
|
|
But privately, I suspect, many of us, including many longstanding feminists, will be rolling our eyes, having had it with the reflexive and unnuanced sense of outrage that has accompanied this cause from its inception, turning a bona fide moment of moral accountability into a series of ad hoc and sometimes unproven accusations.
|
|
To a nonnative Londoner (I am German, married to a Welshman who, for the record, was also appalled at that headline) there is something admirable in this reflexive British spirit of not being cowed and pushing back against any notion that the country is "reeling," even if it can seem a bit defensive.
|
|
It's no spoiler to say there will be infidelity, which has become a reflexive choice for contemporary authors who write about marriage; it is doubly a shame because despite the shopworn plot element, if the characters had felt real, the combination of faithlessness and mortal illness could have had thrilling moral implications.
|
|
Seen from the vantage of the broad centrist consensus informing his analysis, these minor examples of reflexive sexism say a lot about the assumptions Black was working from: Senators and congressmen would be wise, dignified men, capable of putting partisanship aside to accept the mainstream legal community's interpretation of a reasonable Constitution.
|
|
As Trump returns to Mar-a-Lago for the first time since being impeached, the risk -- or hope, for some -- is that the two-week stay will plunge Trump back toward his most reflexive behavior, bridling at his lawyers' and Senate Republicans' efforts to rein him in, people close to Trump said.

For all the worry because he sometimes stutters, for all the concern because he occasionally sputters, for all his corny locutions ("malarkey") and reflexive conversation fillers ("here's the deal"), the former vice president has almost consistently maintained a lead over his Democratic rivals in national polls since he announced his candidacy last April.

Having a reflexive reaction to this new tech frontier has become all too common: Some reject the exciting possibilities tech offers us; others blame Facebook, Google, and Amazon for society's failings; still others resign themselves to living in a post-privacy world where robots will eventually take our jobs and police us.
|
|
That the black seeds seem to be patterned after the dots in an early-60s Larry Poons underscores the sense that you're dealing with a historically savvy artist whose approach to Pop Formalism can cut either way, toward reflexive irony or, as he would put it, an expanded employment of the language of paint.
|

I did enough economy-class traveling with children while my own were young that my reflexive reaction to all flight cancellations, turbulence or the moment when the person in front of me reclines the seat very suddenly, knocking my laptop closed, is now: At least I don't have a small child with me – thank heavens.
|
|
If you were the drunk tourist in Astoria, Queens instructed that the only way to board the R train was by going down onto the track, what is more stirring: the reflexive impulse to look one more time at the map or the shadow of a voice that says, Terrance, everyone here is just visiting?
|
|
From Estes Kefauver, who was nominated for vice president in 1956 on Adlai Stevenson's Democratic ticket, to the two Albert Gores to Baker and Jim Sasser and Bill Frist and Lamar Alexander, Tennesseans have thrived in Washington by tending to rise above reflexive ideology — a reflection of a state that has always been politically complicated.

They wrote that it was hard to believe she "would not make any reflexive noise or movements upon being awakened, which would have alerted multiple others to his criminal activity," further noting that there was no evidence indicating that Whisenhunt "took any steps, such as covering her mouth, to prevent an outcry," the Times reported.
|
|
The reliance on off-putting stereotypes is reflexive: The storyteller is trying to justify why further exploration of this character is impossible or undesirable, but also thinks that a convincing character needs to have some kind of readily observable "thing" that defines them and implies a life beyond the confines of this one particular story.
|
|
I remember when NAFTA was signed into law and it was a real education for me through my career, where I always—just as the President is someone that believes in free trade, I always had a bias or reflexive bias for free trade, but I saw the way NAFTA hollowed out communities in the state of Indiana.

" Massimo Faggioli of the progressive Catholic magazine Commonweal wrote that the review betrayed a reflexive, knee-jerk traditionalism that "ignores completely the development of Catholic teaching on Jews and Judaism, on religious liberty, and on the freedom of conscience approved by Vatican II, confirmed and repeated by all the popes of the post-Vatican II period.

Huma Abedin is a quiet but near-constant presence in Weiner, adopting the same bodily pose so frequently it may as well be on the movie's poster: Over and over throughout the film, Weiner's beleaguered wife stands off to the side, observing her husband's political maneuvering, her arms crossed in a reflexive gesture of self-preservation.
|
|
Don Atari's aggressive embrace of anything off-putting or unsettling results in the film's most troubled gag — a pan-gender model named All (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose portrayal has deeply offended the trans community in general, and trans models in specific — but he stands out as one of the few plot elements that aren't entirely steeped in reflexive absurdity.
|
|
When you ask those in the business of emergency food service — with all the reflexive indignation that surfaces in you — why every bit of leftover farro with spring greens and burrata coming out of a restaurant in Boerum Hill isn't getting Ubered to a food pantry a few miles away, they will look at you with a forlorn knowingness.

Some officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, say that the descent into reflexive animosity is the inevitable result of Mr. Putin's determination to restore his country's arsenal and Mr. Trump's paralysis on Russia, since the accusations swirling in the special counsel inquiry raise new suspicions about every conversation or negotiation he enters into with the Kremlin.
|

And it has been the province of Thom Browne, who, 10 years after he first came to Europe to show his shrunken men's suiting at the Pitti trade show in Florence, doubled down on his twin trademarks (the prepster in the gray flannel suit; trompe l'oeil dressing) by creating a self-reflexive conversation between the two.

He's on record as railing against the reflexive spasms and assumptions of what he calls "the liberal left who cover up zits with concealer" who stand in the midst of eye-strain lighting and ear-rotting white noise to stare at a hyper bland image of a couple a cheesy actors acting the cheesy couple over coffee.
|
|
But even as people struggle to understand what -- if anything -- could have been done to prevent Josephson's death, others may worry that reflexive overreaction to a crime issue can also lead to the law of unintended consequences (think: the US government's "war on drugs" and its unforeseen, catastrophic impact on urban families and the criminal justice system).

The knock against "The Putin Interviews" is that it's a bit of hagiography on the part of Stone, who's the kind of reflexive old lefty who sees the U.S. as the root of almost all of the world's ills and, therefore, anyone who opposes the U.S. even mildly as a necessary evil to push back against the American-imposed darkness.
|

At one point I reached over to him and put my hand on his shoulder, a friendly gesture, casual, avuncular maybe, and then I let my hand curve around his shoulder and down his arm and, as I felt him flex his biceps, that reflexive preening, I curled my fingers around the muscle there and squeezed, feeling how solid it was.

There's also some reflexive truth to Tesla versus Taycan; car people are raised on the concept of competition as central, and by the time they rise to the executive ranks, they dutifully recite the shibboleths in the same way that major-league ballplayers tell reporters that they're taking things one game at a time and are in it for the team.

Under Klinsmann, Wood found a comfort zone and enjoyed a steady ascent, scoring impressive goals for the United States squad and securing a place this season for his new Bundesliga club, Hamburger S.V.

I have watched several political transitions unfold in Africa over the past 2628 months, and analyzed some for The Hill, reporting that the movement of democracy in Africa is unstoppable but noting that obstacles remain, like autocratic leaders finding new ways to hold on to power, reflexive voting by ethnic and tribal affiliation, and the buying and selling of loyalties.

It is so aggressively non-totalizing that it stops itself from fully exploring the boldness of its potential claims, settling, instead, for a model of "twitchy, agitated interpassivity" — that all-too-familiar digital-age affect remarked upon by Mark Fisher, a mirror image of the schizophrenic technological landscape it sets out to critique which further entrenches "reflexive impotence" as the only available response.
