Antigone, Deportee
Authors: Gsoels-Lorensen Jutta
Published: June 2014

This paper reads Sophocles’ Antigone as a text about deportation, which is to say, about the “forcible removal” of non-citizens from a given polity. Developed from a seemingly small shift in the play, namely Creon’s decision not to kill Antigone in one fell swoop as announced in the edict but to place her in a subterranean chamber (866) subject to a “living death” with some food rations, this reading proposes that the cave-space is not merely a site for just or unjust punishment (and certainly not for a mitigated sentence), but a legal and political figuration underpinning sovereignty’s putatively “blameless” ( hagno[s] , 889) rupturing of a person’s juridico-political existence.
Strife and Starvation: Euripides’ Helen
Authors: Sebo Heather
Published: June 2014

This paper argues that Euripides’ Helen offers a dual perspective on the divine and mortal realms, a contrast between human ignorance and Olympian agendas. The action deals with the misunderstandings and misfortunes that beset the human protagonists while Euripides’ re-visioned versions of the two primary disaster myths in ancient Greek culture—the Trojan War and Demeter’s famine—subjects of the first and second stasima respectively, provide an informing, contrapuntal tragic subtext. The two stasima tell their stories in vastly different modes, but together they provide etiologies for war and famine, the primary ills of human existence.
Revenge of the Hetairistria : The Reception of Plato’s Symposium in Lucian’s Fifth Dialogue of the Courtesans
Authors: Blondell Ruby , Boehringer Sandra
Published: June 2014

The importance of Plato for Lucian is manifest and acknowledged by scholars. Yet this perception is not normally extended to the Dialogues of the Courtesans . We argue that Plato is, in fact, crucial for understanding the fifth of these dialogues, which draws upon Plato’s Symposium not only for its symposiastic setting and generic character but for certain distinctive themes, notably the confusion of normative sex-roles, hierarchi es and practices. This relationship helps us to reach a better understanding of the most remarkable aspect of Dialogue 5: its uniquely detailed account of sex among women.
Big Ding 鼎 and China Power: Divine Authority and Legitimacy
Authors: Childs-Johnson Elizabeth
Published: June 2014

Paleographic, art historical, metallurgical, and archaeological data are used to identify the monumental bronze tetrapod ding vessel as a preeminent symbol of state authority and divine power during the Shang era of ca. 1640–1046 b.c.e . Paleographic data based on oracle bone terms and inscriptions includes reference to ding as a verb of ancestral sacrifice, and the ding vessel in the specialized compound, yiding , referring to the ritually and metamorphically empowered ding vessel. Art historical data accounts for differences in form and style between ding tetrapod and tripod types. Metallurgical data derives primarily from a unique source of high radiogenic lead in southern China exploited during the early Shang period. Archaeological data derives from excavated Shang tetrapod ding in royal burial or cache burials.
Buffer Zone Trade in Northeast Asia in the Second Century B.C.
Authors: Park Sun-Mi
Published: June 2014

This article employs the theory of buffer zone trade to understand archaeological data related to trade in Wiman Chosŏn (195–108 b.c. ), one of the earliest states in Korean history. Buffer zone trade is performed by an entity (B) placed between a fully developed state with a centralized government (C), and an underdeveloped polity in a periphery (P). B creates a route to convey C’s advanced products, and exports imported goods from C as well as its own products to neighboring polities in the periphery, while controlling the flow of luxury materials. Significantly, in this process B moderates the impact of more powerful and regionally dominant civilizations on the polities in the periphery, therefore preventing these peripheral polities from losing their indigenous cultures entirely or experiencing structural collapse. Furthermore, B exercises authority over the polities in the periphery, controlling the flow of advanced materials. Wiman Chosŏn imported Han’s monetary currency, iron products, weapons, farming tools, high-fired pottery, horse trappings, bronze mirrors, and bronze vessels, while exporting a few simple iron tools like hand knives, bronze mirrors, slender daggers, and fine-lined mirrors to Chin. Interestingly, the discrepancy of both the quality and quantity of the imported Han products takes place in the Korean Peninsula. Additionally, there was no influx of Han currencies and iron weaponry in the southern Korean Peninsula before the second century b.c. I believe that this phenomenon represents a result of trade conducted by Wiman Chosŏn and that Wiman Chosŏn functioned in this way as a semi-core.
Material Practice and the Metamorphosis of a Sign: Early Buddhist Stupas and the Origin of Mahayana Buddhism
Authors: Fogelin Lars
Published: June 2014

From at least the third century b.c. , Buddhist ritual focused on stupas , stylized replicas of the mounds of earth in which early Buddhists interred relics of the Buddha. Beginning in the first century b.c. , Buddhist monks in western India began manipulating the physical shape of monastic stupas to make them appear taller and more massive than they actually were. Buddhist monks used these manipulations to help assert authority over the Buddhist laity. Employing theories of practice, materiality, and semiotics, I argue that physical manipulations of the shape of stupas by Buddhist monks led to the progressive detachment of the primary signs of Buddhism from their original referents. Where earlier stupas were icons and indexes of the Buddha encased within indexes of his presence, later stupas were symbols of the Buddha and Buddhist theology. This change in the material practice of Buddhism reduced stupas ’ emotional immediacy in favor of greater intellectual detachment. In the end, this shift in the meaning ascribed to stupas created the preconditions from which the Buddhist image cult and Mahayana Buddhism emerged in the first through fifth centuries a.d . The development of Mahayana Buddhism and Buddha images signified a return to iconic worship of the Buddha.
The Dialectics of Vulnerability: Breast Cancer and the Body in Prognosis
Authors: Ehlers Nadine
Published: June 2014

This essay argues that breast cancer prognosis potentially produces a dialectic in which the subject is compelled to perceive the body as vulnerable and separate (alien) to the self and that the treatments required make the body more vulnerable and more alien, and that this is held in tension with the fact that the very alienation and heightened vulnerability of the body in breast cancer treatment are productive. Such alienation and vulnerability collapse the boundaries through which the body and self are understood, often demand a conscious intimacy of/with the body, and point to critical enactments and understandings of embodied subjectivity.
Bleeding over Species Lines: Writing against Cartographies of the Human in Queer of Color Fiction
Authors: LeMay Megan Molenda
Published: June 2014

With the rise of the genomic revolution, the human appears to be undergoing a radical retailoring in the cultural and scientific imagination. When read together, Sherman Alexie’s short stories in The Toughest Indian in the World (2000) and Monique Truong’s novel The Book of Salt (2003) suggest that this is not so. Both authors show how colonialist anxieties around bloodlines, miscegenation, and the human/animal border circulating early-twentieth-century eugenics remain ensconced in twenty-first-century gains in genetic science. This essay takes the literal bleeding over species lines that Alexie’s and Truong’s queer of color characters enact as an invitation to probe the limits of biological taxonomies. On a general level, the article asks: How do the distinctions made between human and nonhuman animals produce racialized and sexualized subjects? More specifically, it examines how literary representations of interspecies intimacies might reshape how we perceive biological difference in the twenty-first century.
Crucible or Centrifuge?: Bronislaw Malinowski’s A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term
Authors: Lansdown Richard
Published: June 2014

This essay seeks to read Bronislaw Malinowski’s A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term in literary critical terms, broadly understood. As such, it supplements the psychological, epistemological, and cultural readings already available from historians and theorists like George W. Stocking, Clifford Geertz, James Clifford, and Christina Thompson. The essay considers the diary as a genre, but also as a variety of moral imposition that extracts patterns from experience by virtue of its unique form. As examples, it considers the patterns in Malinowski’s response to landscape and to the literature he read during the Diary ’s composition, and how these underpinned his epistemological, ethnographic thinking during the period.
Hellenistic “Judaism” and the Social Origins of the “Pagan-Christian” Debate
Authors: Boin Douglas
Published: June 2014

Why did Latin writers label non-Christians with a word that evoked lack of culture ( paganus ) while their Greek brethren used a word ( Hellene ) that connoted the finest education around? This article proposes that Christians who used the latter adopted it from the world of the late Second Temple period. In 2 Maccabees “Hellenism” is a straw man, used to contrast “real Judaism” with other Jews who were looked down upon for acting “Greek.” This dynamic suggests a new model for understanding the rise of paganus . Living in the wake of the so-called Edict of Milan, some Christians believed that social separation and rejection of Rome were non-negotiable aspects of Christian identity. Seeing themselves as heirs of Jewish tradition, embracing the legacy of the Maccabean martyrs who rejected aspects of Hellenistic culture, and writing in Greek, they adopted the word Hellene to disparage their more accommodating Christian peers. In Latin, the force of this argument was lost in translation. Drawing instead upon a tradition that divided “true Christian soldiers” from their more “civilian Christian peers,” Latin writers used paganus as a substitute. Hellene and pagan were thus deployed for similar ideological reasons throughout the fourth century: to draw lines in the sand between Christians over the issue of assimilation and accommodation.
A Spectacle to the World: The Theatrical Meaning of St. Augustine’s Soliloquies
Authors: Foley Michael P.
Published: June 2014

“A Spectacle to the World” examines the various conversations about the theater that are held by the characters Augustine and Reason in Augustine of Hippo’s early dialogue the Soliloquies , as well as the theatrical metaphors used in the work itself. Through an analysis of not only the dialogue’s arguments but also the way in which those arguments are presented, we argue that the Soliloquies is itself a kind of theatrical representation that both imitates and remedies what Augustine refers to elsewhere as the theatrum of living in the world. Specifically, the Soliloquies is a comic drama intended as a partial remedy to the tragedy of sin and error as well as a new theological art form drawing from the tradition of philosophical comedy pioneered by Plato.
The Future of Holocaust Literature: German Studies Association 2013 Banquet Speech

Published: June 2014

This paper deals with the interdependence of historical and aesthetic criteria in the evaluation of the ever expanding body of Holocaust literature. I refer to a variety of significant authors and argue that the Holocaust has changed our view of classical as well as contemporary books and films. It has set new standards for truth and reality in fiction and may have led to the development of new criteria.
From Nazism to Socialism in Anna Seghers’s “Der Mann und sein Name”
Authors: Brockmann Stephen
Published: June 2014

This article analyzes Anna Seghers’s 1952 novella “Der Mann und sein Name,” the first major fictional work that Seghers published about post-Nazi Germany and the construction of the German Democratic Republic. Using archival materials, it examines the ambiguous and controversial reaction of early readers and critics to the novella, as well as Seghers’s responses to criticisms. The article treats the protagonist’s development as a process of outward and inward conversion that ultimately brings the individual psyche into alignment with the outside world, and it argues that this process was paradigmatic not only for the early GDR but for postwar Germany in general.
Cómo leer La importancia de llamarse Daniel Santos de Luis Rafael Sánchez: Guía de estudio para estudiantes de pregrado
Authors: Quesada Carmen Cañete
Published: June 2014

La importancia de llamarse Daniel Santos , publicado por primera vez en 1988, del escritor puertorriqueño Luis Rafael Sánchez es una obra compleja pero vital para quien enseñe un curso panorámico sobre la literatura hispanocaribeña de las últimas décadas. Partiendo de su isla natal, Sánchez recorre variados escenarios de Hispanoamérica en los que el cantante de música popular Daniel Santos llegó a convertirse en un referente latino muy aclamado. Sánchez propone una identidad hispano‐panamericana usando como punto de inflexión el mito del cantante cuya música logró fusionar geografías dispersas de habla española en el continente americano. Pero el autor no pasa por alto la trampa argumentativa en el rescate de esta figura representativa del machismo y la cultura androcéntrica. La presente guía acerca el texto de Sánchez a los estudiantes de pregrado no del todo familiarizados con la lengua y la cultura hispánicas, y presta atención a los argumentos y contradicciones que generan su lectura.
Sobre las similitudes y diferencias del presente, el imperfecto y los tiempos progresivos y la sintaxis del Sintagma Aspectual
Authors: Martín Juan
Published: June 2014

En este artículo se analizan los dos diferentes acercamientos teóricos que se han propuesto para la interpretación progresiva del presente y del pretérito imperfecto en el pasado. Mientras las hipótesis relacionales temporales derivan la interpretación progresiva de las relaciones entre entidades temporales, la aspectual lo hace de las propiedades imperfectivas de estos dos tiempos. En este artículo se argumenta que una teoría basada solo en la temporalidad no podría explicar el paralelismo sistemático de las múltiples interpretaciones del presente y del imperfecto. También se defiende que el enfoque sintáctico es el adecuado, aunque debe estar basado en una relación predicativa y no de ligamiento, como ha sido propuesto dentro de las teorías relacionales. La base empírica de esta propuesta viene dada por la interacción de lecturas distributivas de objetos referenciales inducidas por tópicos cuantificados y la interpretación progresiva. La imposibilidad de tener ambas interpretaciones con el presente y el imperfecto, indica que la lectura progresiva se debe derivar de una estructura donde el sintagma aspectual actúe como predicado de un tópico temporal. La posibilidad de la coexistencia de ambas interpretaciones con los tiempos progresivos indica que en este caso la derivación de la lectura progresiva es una cuestión léxica.
A poesia de Daniel Faria: Silêncio, espiritualidade, natureza
Authors: Nogueira Carlos
Published: June 2014

“Voz no vento passando entre poeira” (Faria, Poesia 42) é talvez o verso de Daniel Faria (1971–99) que exprime com mais eloquência a vocação de uma poesia que se conjuga intimamente com os elementos da Natureza e com a natureza de Deus e do Homem: natureza num sentido total, envolvendo o mineral, o animal e o vegetal, os astros, o ser humano e o ser divino, o pensamento, as palavras, os sentimentos, as emoções, a manhã, o dia, a noite, a água, o fogo, o ar, a terra.
Hacia una pedagogía para la multialfabetización : El diseño de una unidad didáctica inspirada en las propuestas del New London Group
Authors: Sánchez Ana López
Published: June 2014

En 1996, un grupo de intelectuales que vendría a conocerse como el New London Group (NLG) señalaba la necesidad de hacer cambios importantes en los sistemas educativos, empezando por dar cabida en los mismos a los múltiples discursos presentes en la sociedad. Defendían que solo se lograría formar a los ciudadanos para que fueran agentes transformadores en la actual sociedad globalizada a través de una “pedagogía de la multialfabetización”. En 2007, un comité ad hoc del Modern Language Association (MLA), haciéndose eco, en parte, de los argumentos esgrimidos por el NLG, llamaba también a la modificación de los programas académicos de lenguas extranjeras, y de sus objetivos. En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta didáctica, basada en algunos de los principios de la pedagogía de la multialfabetización, que permite iniciar la transformación de los currículos de lengua extranjera con los llamamientos del MLA. Se proponen, concretamente, modos de modificar el actual tratamiento de textos (en particular textos literarios) en los niveles intermedios del currículo. El modelo propuesto da particular relevancia a las actividades de lectura y escritura, y enfatiza el enmarcamiento crítico a partir del trabajo colaborativo.
Feminist Activism as Interfaith Dialogue: A Lesson from Gangjeong Village of Jeju Island, Korea
Authors: Pae Keun-Joo Christine
Published: June 2014

How do the religious engage with one another in Gangjeong village, Jeju when faced with the perceived threat to peace and human security presented by the construction of a naval base in the village? How do their religious teachings and spiritual practices motivate them to actively participate in peace activism? Exploring women’s roles in peace activism at Gangjeong, this essay suggests the dialogue of peacemaking activism informed by feminist activism as a desirable model for interfaith dialogue in Korea. Feminist activism is understood as a way of constructing shared power relations in every part of human society. Considering Korea’s particular geopolitics (i.e. ideological division and excessive militarization of Asia Pacific), this essay argues that first, the Korean religious should pay attention to the role of patriarchal masculinity in militarism and interfaith dialogue; second that a Korean model of dialogue in peace activism should incorporate gender perspectives by seriously considering women’s day-to-day activities as forms of spiritual practice; and third, that those who participate in the dialogue of peace activism should seek out practical ways of creating shared power relations among all living beings and liberate themselves from the fear fed by militarism.
Feminism and Fatherhood in Western Europe, 1900–1950s
Authors: Allen Ann Taylor
Published: June 2014

This article focuses on work-life balance: the combination of work outside the home with parental and domestic responsibilities. Today, problems arising from work-life balance constitute an important obstacle to gender equality. Most commentators have defined this as a women’s problem, but others argue that until men assume an equal share of responsibilities in the home women cannot gain equality in the work-force, the home, or many other areas of life. The article looks at the origins of this debate, focusing on three prominent feminist thinkers—the German Lily Braun, the Swedish Alva Myrdal, and the French Simone de Beauvoir. The central issue—a father’s role in the family—is placed in the context of three historical periods: the pre-war era (1900–1918); the interwar era (1918–1945); and the post-war era (1945–1960).
“A Rainbow of Women”: Diversity and Unity at the 1977 U.S. International Women’s Year Conference
Authors: Mattingly Doreen J. , Nare Jessica L.
Published: June 2014

The 1977 National Women’s Conference in Observance of International Women’s Year (IWY) was in many ways the zenith of U.S. second-wave feminism, producing a Plan of Action that remains a comprehensive statement of the movement’s ideals. It also played an important role in the growth and visibility of anti-feminist activism. The conference accomplished meaningful inclusion of women of color and lesbians, both as participants and as authors of the Plan. Notably, this diverse group of over 2,000 delegates agreed on twenty-six of twenty-seven proposed planks, presenting the U.S. public with an image of feminist unity. In this article the authors examine the factors that contributed to both the diversity of the conference and its apparent unity. They argue that two factors were particularly important. First, the threat of anti-feminists motivated lesbian participation and contributed to strategies that minimized dissent among supporters of women’s rights. Second, many of the Washington feminists in leadership positions were committed to inclusion and worked to achieve a diverse conference. The article provides important historical detail about the politics of inclusion within second-wave feminism in the late 1970s.
Fostering Ethno-Territorial Autonomy: A Colombian Case Study of Community-based Conservation of Mangroves

Muchas comunidades afrocolombianas del Pacífico dependen del uso sostenible de los manglares. Teniendo en cuenta sus derechos territoriales y los limitados recursos del gobierno, un enfoque comunitario parece más apropiado que el clásico paradigma de regulación gubernamental. Como facilitadores del proceso, describimos cómo las comunidades del Golfo de Tribugá desarrollaron el plan de manejo de sus manglares, y analizamos las lecciones aprendidas de acuerdo a la literatura. Es clave aplicar principios de buena gobernanza, integrar distintas fuentes de información, construir capacidad local y ser flexible ante la variedad de expectativas de diferentes actores. También es importante fomentar apoyo político, y diseñar una estrategia de financiación de largo plazo.
Desnutrición y Muerte en la Niñez argentina en los Albores del Siglo XXI: Un Análisis Espacial
Authors: Longhi Fernando
Published: June 2014

Childhood death from malnutrition reached unexpected dimensions in the transition from the 20th to the 21st century in Argentina. In this work the magnitude of the problem, the spatial distribution of malnutrition and the major changes in its distribution between 1999 and 2008, both at provincial and departmental levels, are analysed. The results show a decrease at both the national and provincial level, but at the departmental level the rate rose, countering national and provincial trends. Some jurisdictions detected are in a notoriously critical situation, where the magnitude of the rate is among the highest in Argentina. This diagnosis worsened as the rate increased during the decade. The evidence provides a wide scope for public policies that seek to improve the living conditions of the population in general and children in particular.
Dignifying a Bare Life and Making Place through Exhumation: Cobán CREOMPAZ Former Military Garrison, Guatemala
Authors: Henderson Erica , Nolin Catherine , Peccerelli Fredy
Published: June 2014

La población maya representaron el mayor número de vidas que se perdieron durante el conflicto armado interno de Guatemala. El Estado les etiqueta como el “enemigo interno” y simpatizantes de la guerrilla, lo que justifica su masacre masiva. Concepto de la “vida desnuda” de Agamben se utiliza para explicar cómo el Estado legitimó las masacres de los mayas. Las exhumaciones realizadas por la Fundación de Antropología Forense de Guatemala (FAFG) dentro de la antigua base militar de Cobán CREOMPAZ son el estudio de caso para nuestro argumento de que el proceso activo de exhumación es un acto de “haciendo lugar” y volver a dignifica a las víctimas. Paisajes de miedo y terror enmarcan nuestra interpretación de las geografías de violencia de CREOMPAZ.
Distribución Espacial de la Biodiversidad en el Estado de San Luis Potosí, México
Authors: Camacho Xochizeltzin Castañeda , Pérez Oscar Reyes , Martínez Javier Fortanelli , Robledo Miguel Aguilar
Published: June 2014

As demonstrated by several assessment studies carried out during the first decade of the 21st-century, Mexico still holds a very significant biological wealth. However, this ecological richness is at risk of being lost due to an accelerated rate of natural resource use, a fast-growing rural and urban population, a weak legal protection provided by Mexican environmental legislation, and a still quite inaccurate knowledge of biodiversity from a spatial standpoint, a problem that is specifically addressed in this paper. It thus proposes a new methodology to reveal, from a cartographic perspective, the biological richness of San Luis Potosí State, based on a synthetic weighing of a set of biotic and abiotic variables. This methodological proposal and the results depicted here show how this cartographic tool can be fruitfully used to design strategies for natural resource conservation and local development.
Advanced Degrees of Debt: Analyzing the Patterns and Determinants of Graduate Student Borrowing
Authors: Belasco Andrew S. , Trivette Michael J. , Webber Karen L.
Published: June 2014

Despite record student debt and the growing importance of graduate education, little is known about what drives graduate student borrowing. In response to that research gap, this study draws on several national data sources to analyze the patterns and predictors of education-related debt among graduate students specifically. Adjusted Wald tests show that borrowing among graduate students has increased in recent years, particularly at the master’s and doctoral level, while multilevel tobit analysis suggests that several demographic, disciplinerelated, and institution-level variables exert significant influence on cumulative graduate debt.
Eco-Friendly versus Cancer-Causing: Perceptions of Diesel Cars in West Germany and the United States, 1970–1990
Authors: Neumaier Christopher
Published: June 2014

This article analyzes the ways in which identical and divergent perceptions of the carcinogenicity of diesel-engine emissions emerged in the United States and West Germany between 1970 and 1990. Therefore, it reviews how automakers, policymakers, experts, and the media negotiated which exhaust emissions were either eco-friendly or hazardous. Communicating complex technological and scientific facts to the public, these actors translated the information into easily comprehensible terms. In the United States, this simplification forged the perception that diesel cars’ particulate emissions were cancer-causing between 1977 and 1981; a similar change occurred in Germany between 1984 and 1987. Consumers reacted and shied away from purchasing diesel vehicles. While Americans continued to stigmatize diesel cars, Germans re-embraced the technology by the late 1980s. Consequently, new “clean” diesels were introduced, and the discourse on exhaust emissions shifted from health-hazardous particulates to the ecological problem of the greenhouse effect, casting the fuel-efficient diesel in an entirely new light.
Introduction: Constructing Sociotechnical Environments—Aurality, Air Quality, and Automobiles
Authors: Borg Kevin L.
Published: June 2014

This article introduces a fortuitous convergence of five articles on different automobile topics that probe the historical processes of creating, maintaining, and challenging sociotechnical environments. Gijs Mom, David Morris, and Stefan Krebs each explore aural environments in and around cars; David Lucsko and Christopher Neumaier study topics related to the broader environmental movement of the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries. Bringing them together in this issue highlights the continued analytical richness afforded scholars through automotive topics, and points to a continuing vibrant and critical engagement with one of the most consequential consumer technologies ever developed.
Orchestrating Automobile Technology: Comfort, Mobility Culture, and the Construction of the “Family Touring Car,” 1917–1940
Authors: Mom Gijs
Published: June 2014

During the social and technical construction of the affordable “family touring car” in both the United States and Europe, one of the urgent projects was the abatement of noise. As a part of the emergence of “automotive comfort,” noise abatement took place during one of the costliest operations in the history of automotive technology: the closing of the body. From an open tourer, the car, during the interwar period, developed into a sedan, encapsulating the driver and his passengers and drastically altering their sensorial intake, especially sight and sound. Thus, car engineering became an engineering of the senses. In this article focusing on the American car culture, it is argued that sound “orchestration” was necessary to enable the automotive subject (the nuclear family) to concentrate on what it liked most: gazing outside the car body. The tourist gaze was rescued through the orchestration (both domesticating and fine-tuning) of the car as a sound machine.
Cars with the Boom: Identity and Territory in American Postwar Automobile Sound
Authors: Morris David Z.
Published: June 2014

This article traces the technological and cultural transformation of car audio from its World War II–era status as an aid to middle-class information efficiency through a process of fragmentation, including the development of “boom cars.” These ultraloud sound systems, enabled by wartime innovations and postwar abundance, increasingly became indexes of opposition for those at the ethnic and economic margins of American life. Boom cars turned the perfected technology of hi-fi car audio outward into the streets, using sound to aggressively contest space and assert identity. These technological practices have been met with resistance from governments, continuing the centuries-long struggle for social power on the proxy battlefield of sound, and offering a template for understanding the possibilities and challenges of technological multiculturalism.

“I’M NOT ANTI-MUSLIM, I’M ANTI-ISLAM”. ISLAMOPHOBIA AS A MEMBERS’ ACCOMPLISHMENT IN POLITICAL DEBATE ON TALK RADIO
Authors: Clifton Jonathan
Published: June 2014

Since 9/11, Islamophobia has been gaining the attention of scholars, and, increasingly, it is perceived to be an integral part of the emerging zeitgeist of the 21st century. However, the term itself is much debated and little consensus exists as to what it means. Using data drawn from political debate on talk radio between Nick Griffin, Chairman of the British National Party, and Abdul, a Muslim from Manchester and membership categorisation analysis as a methodology, this paper aims to reveal the category-work by which Islamophobia is achieved as a members’ accomplishment. Findings indicate that two versions of Islamophobia are talked into being. On the one hand, Griffin “does” Islamophobia through the operation of an adversarial standard relational pair Islam/West which operates within a membership categorisation device “worlds”, and so he achieves exclusion through cultural incompatibility. On the other hand, Abdul uses the membership categorisation device “race” within which the adversarial standard relational pair Muslim/Asian-White British is operative, and so he ascribes overt racist attitudes to Islamophobes.

Introduction. The incidence of intracranial aneurysms in the human population is determined on 15–20 at 100 thousands residents. In any case, brain aneurysm, the basis for optimal therapy and satisfactory results of treatment is early diagnosis allowing for rapid implementation specified by the patient procedure.Aim. The aim of this study is to assess the health status of patients with brain aneurysms not cracked after the application of interventional therapy.Material and Methods. The study included 20 patients diagnosed with ruptured brain is not under investigation by an intervention, hospitalized in 2011 in the Department of Neurosurgery USK in Bialystok. An analysis of medical records.Results. The study included 14 (70%) women and 6 (30%) men with unruptured brain undergoing interventional procedure. The mean age was 53.35±8.68 years (69–37 years). Aneurysm of the most 9 (45.0%) was located in the anterior communicating artery. The average hospital stay was 6.92± women 2.90 days (4–12 days) and 5.20± men 1.64 days (4–8 days) (NS). Frequently performed the test in the diagnosis of cerebral aneurysm was computed tomography, and the symptoms were headache (15, 78.7%) and syncope (3, 15.8%). Embolization was performed in (14, 70.0%) and was usually embolization aneurysm located on the internal carotid artery (5, 83.3%). No significant differences were observed with respect to the location of the aneurysm and the parameters before and after surgery. The average period of hospitalization was significantly longer in patients undergoing craniotomy (10.00±2.160 days) than embolization (5.43±1.828 days) (p=0.006).Conclusions.1. Unruptured aneurysms of the brain were more common among women, and computed tomography was the most commonly performed diagnostic test.2. The most common symptom of an aneurysm among women was headache, and among men fainting.3. The most common surgical intervention was embolectomy, and hospitalization was held in elective surgery.4. After surgery, a person with hypertension and tobacco smokers had a higher heart rate, systolic blood pressure and a shorter duration of hospitalization. In contrast, patients with headache as a symptom of an aneurysm, were hospitalized longer and had accelerated heart rate after surgery. (JNNN 2014;3(1):15–24)

Thinking with Art, or What Happens When a Critic Sees You Lose Your Hair
Authors: Hildebrandt Megan , Voeller Megan
Published: June 2014

This essay explores a collaboration between a visual artist (Hildebrandt) and her museum-educator–art-critic colleague (Voeller) that led to a series of public events and an exhibition of drawings made by the artist in response to her experience with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The artist’s narrative vignettes about her cancer experience and images of her drawings are interwoven with the educator–critic’s account of how the collaboration motivated her to reflect critically on the professional museum practices that frame how viewers should relate to art through formal, historical, and conceptual appreciation. Drawing inspiration from Arthur W. Frank’s call to “think with” illness narratives as a practice of empathic and self-reflexive engagement, the essay asks how museum education practices might facilitate empathic relationships and self-and-other awareness through and around art. A pair of public conversations among the artist, oncologists, and other participants is presented as a case study. Finally, the essay asks how the specific situation described relates to larger questions about the significance of empathy to the clinical practice of healthcare, and to conversations within the field of contemporary art about the relational dimensions of art.
Metempsychosis
Authors: Mingé Jeanine M. , Smith Richard Lee
Published: June 2014

This fusion of photographs and poetry, a form of arts-based inquiry, explores metempsychosis, or the transmigration of the soul, which the artists experienced at Burning Man 2013. Within this ritual space the artists experienced a metempsychosis without a physical death, entering the playa as one spiritual form and leaving as another. The artists hope to create a passageway or opening for readers to experience their own transmigrations.
Dear Stranger
Authors: Patterson Natalie
Published: June 2014

“Dear Stranger” seeks to serve as a reminder that truth and love are always happening around us and questions how aware we are of it. Often in the busy of life we miss the most profound moments; this work invites the reader to be brave and encouraged. This work is written much like a love letter with the intention of becoming an example of both truth and love.
Virtual Embodiment as/and the Threshold of Love
Authors: Harris Anne
Published: June 2014

This essay draws upon the author’s performance script Fall and Walter Benjamin’s The Arcades Project as a provocation for considering the ways performance texts provide a threshold for somatic inquiry, and for recognizing the limits of scholarly analysis that does not take up performance-as-inquiry. Set at the Empire State Building, this essay embodies the connections and missed possibilities between strangers and intimates in the context of urban modern life. Fall’s protagonist is positioned within a landscape of capitalist exchange, but defies this matrix to offer instead a gift at the threshold of life/death, virtual/real, and love/loss. Through somatic inquiry and witnessing as threshold experiences, the protagonist (as Benjamin’s flaneur) moves through urban space and time, proving that both scholarship and performance remain irrevocably embodied, and as such invariably tethered to the visceral, the stranger, risk, and death.
Interplay of Interlocus Gene Conversion and Crossover in Segmental Duplications Under a Neutral Scenario
Authors: Hartasánchez Diego A , Vallès-Codina Oriol , Brasó-Vives Marina , Navarro Arcadi
Published: June 2014

Interlocus gene conversion is a major evolutionary force that drives the concerted evolution of duplicated genomic regions. Theoretical models successfully have addressed the effects of interlocus gene conversion and the importance of crossover in the evolutionary fate of gene families and duplications but have not considered complex recombination scenarios, such as the presence of hotspots. To study the interplay between interlocus gene conversion and crossover, we have developed a forward-time simulator that allows the exploration of a wide range of interlocus gene conversion rates under different crossover models. Using it, we have analyzed patterns of nucleotide variation and linkage disequilibrium within and between duplicate regions, focusing on a neutral scenario with constant population size and validating our results with the existing theoretical models. We show that the interaction of gene conversion and crossover is nontrivial and that the location of crossover junctions is a fundamental determinant of levels of variation and linkage disequilibrium in duplicated regions. We also show that if crossover activity between duplications is strong enough, recurrent interlocus gene conversion events can break linkage disequilibrium within duplicates. Given the complex nature of interlocus gene conversion and crossover, we provide a framework to explore their interplay to help increase knowledge on molecular evolution within segmental duplications under more complex scenarios, such as demographic changes or natural selection.

Problem Statement: Understanding the phenomenon of doping from a psychological perspective may lead to learning a new dimension of some factors that may influence the athletes’ behavior towards fair-play attitudes. Purpose of the Study: The main purpose of this study was to assess the possible correlations between psychological factors and doping behavior. Research Methods: The sampling was a simple random multi-strata cluster type pattern with random circulation. 500 athletes participated to this study (aged 14– 28) and have been practicing sport for an average of 8.74 years. Type A and Type B Behavior Questionnaire (Mirabeal, 1986) and Tough-mindedness/Tender-mindedness (Eysenck-Wilson, 1985) were used in this study. All questionnaires have been processed in SPSS. Findings: Calculation of correlation coefficients did reveal significant values between the scores resulted in the type of personality AB. The Eysenck-Wilson questionnaire noticed that values greater than the average occur on the group’s level, which shows a certain feature as predominant. Conclusions: The personality structure of the athletes to the research is featured by average values and the items of the applied tests, with plus and minus variations depending on the age or the experience in sport activity. Assertiveness and masculinity are expressed on superior level.
