There is a regular conference for them to exchange practices, models and terminology - instructional capital - and meet each other - social capital. It cuts across a fairly wide range of activities, mostly concerned with reclamation of space, for example, replanting the margins of highways with guerilla gardening, permanent street reclaiming, etc. There is a fair bit of Gaia philosophy, green politics and green economics thrown in, but there is no one unifying intellectual thread that all bioneers follow.
Bion begins this essay in orthodox enough fashion, taking the `phantasied attacks on the breast as the prototype of all attacks on objects that serve as a link and projective identification as the mechanism employed by the psyche to dispose of ego fragments produced by its destructiveness' (ST, 93).
Bion distinguished the positive forms of the container-contained relation, which actually lead onwards to further development from negative, or parasitic forms, in which the container may be persecutory, neurotic or otherwise constrictive.
Bion's work of psychoanalytic cognition aims to put tolerant knowledge in the place of negativity and intolerance of frustration; it is Hegelian in that it proceeds through encounter with the negative in order to grow into positivity, to give formlessness a form.
Bion was developed for biological studies of the effects of radiation.
The Bion series were built by TsSKB with experimental payloads by the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems.
The Cosmos 2229 mission was also referred to as Bion 10, because it was the tenth in a series of Soviet/Russian unmanned satellites carrying biological experiments.
