Łąkowe zbiorowiska ziołoroślowe Płaskowyżu Kolbuszowskiego na tle niektórych czynników ekologicznych
Authors: ROGUT KRZYSZTOF , TRĄBA CZESŁAWA , WOLAŃSKI PAWEŁ
Published: November 2021

Celem badań prowadzonych na Płaskowyżu Kolbuszowskim (Kotlina Sandomierska) było rozpoznanie i charakterystyka zbiorowisk ziołoroślowych, jakie wykształciły się po zaprzestaniu użytkowania rolniczego łąk, w zależności od niektórych czynników ekologicznych. Na podstawie 100 zdjęć fitosocjologicznych wykonanych w latach 2011–2013 wyróżniono zbiorowiska ze związku Calthion i Filipendulion. Warunki siedliskowe oceniano metodą laboratoryjną i fitoindykacyjną Ellenberga. Największą wartością wskaźnika różnorodności gatunkowej Shannona-Wienera wyróżniał się zespół Cirsietum rivularis, a najmniejszą Scirpetum sylvatici. Najmniej kwaśne i najbogatsze w P, K, Mg i Cu gleby zajmował zespół Cirsietum rivularis, a najbardziej kwaśne i najuboższe – zbiorowisko z Cirsium palustre. Analiza fitoindykacyjna wykazała, że najsuchsze i najlepiej nasłonecznione siedliska zajmował zespół Cirsietum rivularis – wariant suchszy, najbardziej zakwaszone Scirpetum sylvatici, a najuboższe w azot zbiorowisko Cirsium palustre i zespół Valeriano-Filipenduletum. Zbiorowiska ziołoroślowe Płaskowyżu Kolbuszowskiego w znacznym stopniu upiększają krajobraz otwarty dzięki dominacji ziół o okazałych i barwnych kwiatostanach. Do najmniej zaawansowanych w rozwoju sukcesyjnym roślinności na nieużytkowanych łąkach Płaskowyżu Kolbuszowskiego należały zespoły Cirsietum rivularis (wariant suchszy) i Scirpetum sylvatici ze względu na niewielki udział w ich runi gatunków ze związku Filipendulion. Na podstawie składu gatunkowego łąk ziołoroślowych na Płaskowyżu Kolbuszowskim można sądzić, że znajdują się one w różnych fazach sukcesji, na co miało wpływ zbiorowisko wyjściowe i czas, jaki upłynął od zaprzestania użytkowania.

Published: November 2021

W rolnictwie tasznik pospolity (Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik.) uznawany jest za uporczywy chwast upraw polowych i ogrodowych. Jednocześnie jest to roślina lecznicza, o działaniu przeciwkrwotocznym. W swoim składzie ma wiele substancji chemicznych, o różnorodnych właściwościach, potencjalnie również allelopatycznych. W badaniach eksperymentalnych oceniono wpływ wodnych wyciągów z korzeni i pędów tasznika na wybrane procesy fizjologiczne sałaty siewnej (Lactuca sativa L. cv ‘Maryna’). Stwierdzono, że wraz ze wzrostem koncentracji substancji chemicznych zawartych w wodnych ekstraktach z tasznika (korzeń, pędy nadziemne) następuje obniżenie zdolności kiełkowania nasion sałaty podlewanej tymi ekstraktami. Wartości świeżej masy były najwyższe dla siewek sałaty wyrosłych na podłożach z 1% wyciągami z tasznika, a najniższe na podłożach z 5% wyciągami. Odnotowano większy przyrost świeżej masy siewek sałaty podlewanych ekstraktami z pędów tasznika w porównaniu z przyrostem masy siewek podlewanych ekstraktami z korzeni tasznika. Procentowa zawartość wody nie ulegała istotnym statystycznie zmianom w siewkach podlewanych wodnymi ekstraktami zarówno z korzeni, jak i z pędów tasznika w stosunku do siewek sałaty z próby kontrolnej.

Celem badań była ocena wpływu trzech dawek nawozów mineralnych oraz czterech preparatów użyźniających (EM, PRP SOL, Rosahumus i UGmax) na odczyn i zasobność dwóch rodzajów gleb oraz plony i wybrane cechy jakościowe bulw ziemniaka. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, iż właściwości chemiczne gleb były w większym stopniu zróżnicowane pomiędzy rodzajami gleb niż przez stosowane dawki nawozów i preparaty. Plon ogólny i plon frakcji handlowej bulw ziemniaka, jak też ich skład chemiczny były modyfikowane przez właściwości gleb, dawki nawozów oraz preparaty użyźniające. Większy plon o lepszej jakości uzyskano z gleby ciężkiej niż z lekkiej, przy większych dawkach nawozów. Aplikacja preparatów użyźniających wpłynęła korzystnie na plon bulw uprawianych na glebie lekkiej
Association of ultrasonographic features with histologic findings in 71 dogs with protein-losing nephropathy (2008–2018)
Authors: Kopecny Lucy , Palm Carrie A. , Brust Kelsey , Giuffrida Michelle A. , Cowgill Larry D. , Johnson Eric G.
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether ultrasonographic features in dogs with protein-losing nephropathy (PLN) were associated with renal biopsy findings and compare corticomedullary ratios between dogs with PLN versus non-renal disease.

ANIMALS

71 dogs with PLN and 33 dogs without renal disease.

PROCEDURES

Medical records and archived ultrasonographic images for dogs with PLN that underwent renal biopsy between 2008 and 2018 were reviewed. Corticomedullary ratios were measured.

RESULTS

In dogs with PLN, median serum creatinine and BUN concentrations and urine-protein-to-creatinine-ratio prior to renal biopsy were 3.4 mg/dL (interquartile range [IQR], 1.2 to 5.3 mg/dL), 80 mg/dL (IQR, 28 to 105 mg/dL), and 11.4 (IQR, 6.4 to 18.3), respectively. Histologic abnormalities within the tubulointerstitial space were associated with cortical echogenicity. Gastric wall thickness > 5 mm was associated with a histologic diagnosis of acute glomerular disease. Dogs with immune complex–mediated glomerular disease were more likely to have abnormal gastric mural architecture. Other ultrasonographic features of the kidneys, liver, and stomach and the presence of ascites did not help to differentiate immune complex–mediated from non-immune complex–mediated glomerular disease, acute from chronic disease, or amyloid from non-amyloid disease or distinguish whether tubulointerstitial disease was present or absent. Median left corticomedullary ratio for 66 dogs with PLN (1.2) was significantly higher than that for the 33 dogs without renal disease (1.0).

Clinical Relevance

Ultrasonographic features were poorly associated with specific pathological disorders in dogs with PLN. In this study, the corticomedullary ratio was higher in dogs with PLN, indicating the presence of cortical thickening, but the clinical relevance is unknown.
Cyclic behavior of precast concrete beam-column connection using steel fiber reinforced cast-in-place concrete
Authors: Noorhidana Vera Agustriana , Forth John P.
Published: November 2021

Three equivalent exterior precast concrete beam-column (PCBC) connections have been investigated in this study in orderto analyze the effect of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) as cast-in-place (CIP) on the seismic performance of the PCBC connection. The connection was designed as a ductile connection for a moment-resisting frame and consists of a precast U-beam, precast column with corbel, interlocking bars, and CIP-concrete to connect the precast beam to precast column. The volume fractions of steel fiber incorporated within the CIP-concrete were 0%, 0.5% and 1%. A quasi-static load was applied vertically to the beam tip of the PCBC specimen. The results showed that the steel fibers contained within the CIP-concrete provided 2% increase of the maximum load, 17.7% increase of the energy dissipation, and increase in the joint stiffness of the PCBC connection. The steel fibers delayed the onset of cracking and slowed down the crack propagation, resulting in shorter cracks in the joint core of PCBC specimen, which correlates well with the deflection-hardening characteristic found from the modulus of rupture test.
An iterative algorithm for random upper bound kinematical analysis
Authors: Chwała Marcin
Published: November 2021

A new approach for stochastic upper bound kinematical analyses is described. The study proposes an iterative algorithm that uses the Vanmarcke spatial averaging and kinematical failure mechanisms. The iterative procedure ensures the consistency between failure geometry and covariance matrix, which influences the quality of the results. The proposed algorithm can be applied to bearing capacity evaluation or slope stability problems. The iterative algorithm is used in the study to analyse the three-dimensional undrained bearing capacity of shallow foundations and the bearing capacity of the foundation for two-layered soil, in both cases, the soil strength spatial variability is included. Moreover, the obtained results are compared with those provided by the algorithm, based on the constant covariance matrix. The study shows that both approaches provide similar results for a variety of foundation shapes and scale of fluctuation values. Therefore, the simplified algorithm can be used for purposes that require high computational efficiency and for practical applications. The achieved efficiency using a constant covariance matrix for one realisation of a three-dimensional bearing capacity problem that includes the soil strength spatial variability results in about 0.5 seconds for a standard notebook. The numerical example presented in the study indicates the importance of the iterative algorithm for further development of the failure mechanism application in probabilistic analyses. Moreover, because the iterative algorithm is based on the upper bound theorem, it could be utilised as a reference for other methods for spatially variable soil.
Laparoscopic approach for coexisting cholecystogastric and cholecystocolonic fistula: a case report
Authors: Troci Albert , Gabriele Epifani Angelo , Michele Bonomi Alessandro , Crespi Michele , Danelli Piergiorgio
Published: November 2021

Background:

Cholecystoenteric fistula (CEF) is a rare intraoperative finding during video laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The presence of a double cholecystogastric (CGF) and cholecystocolonic fistula (CCF) is even more rare, and its management is not fully codified.

Case Presentation:

We present the case of a 26-year-old woman known for cholelithiasis and a previous episode of uncomplicated acute cholecystitis and subsequent indication to elective cholecystectomy. Routine pre-operative studies did not show signs of biliary abnormalities. Intraoperative findings consisted of a coexisting CGF and CCF, which were successfully treated laparoscopically.

Conclusion:

Laparoscopic approach can be safe and feasible in selected cases of double complete CEFs.

Covid-19 Döneminde “Ulusal” Olanla “Küresel” Olanın Birlikteliği
Authors: KARACAOĞLU YILDIZ Naime Merve
Published: November 2021

Covid-19 gibi salgın hastalıklar dünya tarihi boyunca ekonomik, sosyal ve yönetimsel alanlarda geniş çaplı değişikliklere yol açmıştır. Bu bağlamda Covid-19’un dünya gündemine girmesi bazı akademik tartışmaları beraberinde getirmiştir. Söz konusu akademik tartışmaların merkezinde “ulus devletin geleceği” meselesi yer almaktadır. Salgınla mücadelede politika ve süreçlerin, ulus devlet olgusu açısından yarattığı etkilerin iki ana eksende seyrettiğini söylemek mümkündür. Birincisi salgının ulus devlete ilişkin değerleri güçlendireceği yönündeki görüştür, ikincisi salgının ulus devlet anlayışını zayıflatarak küresel değer ve politikaları geliştireceği yönündeki görüştür. Otoriter ve demokratik rejimlerden salgınla mücadeledeki etkinliği ise bir diğer tartışma konusudur. Salgınla mücadelede otoriter rejimlerin demokratik rejimlere göre daha etkili olduğu iddia edilmektedir. Bu makalede salgın ile mücadele sürecinde ulus devletlerin öngörülen geleceği ve küreselleşme sürecinin nasıl devam edeceği sorusuna yanıt aranmaya çalışılmıştır. Covid-19 salgının etkisinde devletlerin yönetim anlayışları ile ilgili yakın geleceğe dönük beklentiler ve tahminler değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada literatür taramasına dayalı nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Makalede elde edilen veriler ışığında küreselleşmenin mi yoksa ulus devletin mi güç kazanacağı, salgınla mücadelede otoriter rejimlerin mi yoksa demokratik rejimlerin mi daha etkili olduğu tartışılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, ne ulus devletlerin mutlak bir şekilde güçlenmesiyle ne de küresel ya da ulus üstü yapıların mutlak anlamda geri çekilmesiyle karşı karşıya olduğumuz belirtilmektedir. Küreselleşme-ulus devlet diyalektiğinde “ulusal” olanla “küresel” olanın birlikteliğinin gerekli olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Salgınla mücadelede otoriter rejimlerin demokratik rejimlere göre daha etkili olduğu düşüncesinin doğru olmadığı ifade edilmektedir.
THE ‘NIGHT OF THE WORLD’: POWER, SUBJECTION, AND CRISIS
Authors: Flisfeder Matthew
Published: November 2021

In what follows, my primary objective is to argue for, and articulate, the contours of a psychoanalytic critique of ideology; then I want to add a few things about how this relates to the public support of Authority during times of economic crisis and the recent CUPE 3903 strike at York University – something of which I hope will add to a Marxian critique of ideology. The psychoanalytic critique of ideology that I defend is one that is informed by the work of the contemporary philosopher and psychoanalyst, Slavoj Žižek,whose re-interpretation of the work of the French psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan, is enhanced by his understanding of German Idealist philosophy, from Kant, through Schelling, to Hegel. It is with Hegel that the title of my presentation, the ‘Night of theWorld’, is associated (see Žižek, Ticklish Subject).For Hegel (as read by Žižek), ‘night’ indicates something about the pre-Symbolic,or the pre-Ontological world of blind drives; or, the world prior to its linguistic/symbolic dismemberment. What I posit as crisis, or disruption – or, in the psychoanalytic sense,trauma – is an encounter with the negativity (or the ‘nothingness’, in philosophical terms)of this ‘night of the world’. As I hope to make clear, it is through disruptions, or traumas, that we can come to understand something about the truth of the existing state of things by analyzing it from the perspective of negativity – this, after all, is what dialectics is about.
Time's Arrow as Postmodern Apocalypse: Temporal Ruptures, Perpetual Crisis and the Cultural Imagination
Authors: Wiebe Taylor Laura
Published: November 2021

Martin Amis’s 1991 novel Time’s Arrow narrativizes two major breaks: a split of consciousness that separates the narrator and protagonist who occupy the same body, and a split in temporality that confuses past and future, so that the narrator attempts to understand the protagonist’s life in reverse.1 These schisms within the narrative parallel and invoke two major historical ruptures of the twentieth century: the Holocaust that happened, and the nuclear holocaust that looked likely to occur. Time’s Arrow, set within this historical framework,suggests these holocausts jointly destabilized the directionality and flow of time, trapping the post-World War Two generations in a perpetual postmodern apocalyptic condition. Following Fredric Jameson, I understand “postmodern” as a “periodizing concept” (3), referring to the cultural logic underlying late modern socioeconomic formations and the expression of that logic in the aesthetic realm. Jameson’s analysis of late modern society’s pathological relationship with time and history is particularly relevant to Time’s Arrow. The novel is postmodern in its literary style, with its destabilized first-person narrative voice and refusal of conventional linear time, but style here expresses a deeper cultural crisis, including the parallel loss of “a sense of history” and of “the sense of a viable future” (Hollinger 166-167). In the ever-present shadow of two catastrophic crises—one lurking behind and one looming ahead—the narrative points to massive devastation in either direction, undermining, but not negating, the conceivability of a (better) future. Amis’s novel most powerfully illustrates the continuity between the ‘greatest’ crises ofthe twentieth century by portraying apocalypse and rupture as perpetual phenomena, and evoking the difficulty of imagining beyond them.
Nostalgia for Crisis: Representing Revolution in North American Popular Culture
Authors: Truman Emily
Published: November 2021

In contemporary North America we no longer have revolutions; instead we have nostalgia for revolution. Benjamin Arditi’s Politics on the Edges of Liberalism argues that the continued presence of marginal radical politics in Western liberal democracies is evidence of our nostalgia for revolution and that we are mourning an ideal state of the past. I argue that another more widespread site of evidence for our nostalgia for revolution is the proliferation of popular artefacts branded with revolutionary iconography. As a symbol, revolution is omnipresent in North American culture. It is on our t-shirts, magazine covers, book jackets, advertising posters,and in our language and conversations describing new political realities and cultural contexts.We are collectors of revolutionary culture: we wear it, read it, buy it, and talk about it.
Ethical Community as More than Human: Food Animals and Aporetic Decision
Authors: Carey Jessica
Published: November 2021

Jacques Derrida made many provocative suggestions about our relationships with other animals in the few years before he passed away in 2004. A question that he did not pursue very far is one that I would want to ask him forever: What is your final position on vegetarianism? One of Derrida’s enduring legacies is his assertion of the ethical imperative that we explore “eating well” or “determining the best, most respectful, most grateful and also most giving way of relating to the other and of relating the other to the self” (1995: 281-82). The urgent context of this imperative is the factory farm, which as Derrida argued, is the site of an unprecedented assertion of human biopower over other animals, and which buttresses a particularly imperious form of human subjectivity in theprocess.1 However, to the disappointment of theorists from David Wood to Paola Cavalieri, Derrida refrained from endorsing vegetarianism as a means of eating well. His reticence is no doubt due to his wariness of ethical programs which as Cary Wolfe has argued “reduce[] ethics to the very antithesis of ethics by reducing the aporia of judgment in which the possibility of justice resides to the mechanical unfolding of a positivist calculation” (2003: 69). While it is crucial to keep such reductions in mind, I posit that Derrida was overhasty in his rejection of vegetarianism. I take as my central provocationMatthew Calarco’s conclusion that Derrida’s reticence to embrace vegetarianism is not what matters most. As he puts it,Derrida is not our pastor or physician, he should not serve as our guide to eatingwell. If Derrida is hesitant to openly declare that, for those who live incontemporary western, urban societies, vegetarianism is generally a morerespectful way of relating to animals than meat eating is, then we should proceedwithout him. (2004: 197). Instead, Calarco argues for continuing Derrida’s work in the mode of countersignature—following Derrida according to the spirit of his work and not its letter, which often implies a certain not-following. In Calarco’s words, to approach Derrida’s work in countersignaure is “to think through the disjunction of deconstruction and vegetarianism in order to bring deconstructive thinking to bear on the undisclosed anthropocentric and carnophallogocentric limits of the dominant discourses in animal ethics and vegetarianism” (ibid.).2 In other words, if vegetarianism seems too ethically reductive sometimes, there is no need to throw the proverbial baby out with the bathwater, as Derrida perhaps did in this particular instance. I say this is with all due respect of the fact that he so rarely did throw the baby out with the bathwater. Instead, maybe we can think vegetarianism otherwise, in ways that would hold more water—with Derrida, with ourselves and with other people who aim to be as thoughtful as possible about ethics.
“HE WHO IS UNABLE TO LIVE IN SOCIETY . . . MUST EITHER BE A BEAST OR A GOD”: SITUATING THE “INHUMAN” IN ARISTOTLE’S POLITICAL THOUGHT
Authors: Austin Matthew James
Published: November 2021

At least since Aristotle, the Western philosophical tradition has accepted the linking of the categories of the “human” and the “political.” As such, these categories have enjoyed a long history of mutual implication. Such an implication, however, constrains the semantic field by which one comes to imagine the human, the political and ultimately the political community. A clear line of distinction has been upheld between what is human and naturally belongs in a political community and what is inhuman and destined to be marginalized to the isolated fringe. In the last century or so, theory, broadly defined, has challenged the essentialism of the human as a category. A diffusion of novel conceptual formations has taken place. Such concepts as the“inhuman,” the “posthuman,” the “antihuman,” the “transhuman,” etc., have been developed forthe explicit purpose of undermining the clear and distinct category of the human. However, it remains essential, this paper argues, that theorists maintain one foot in the canonical trust bywhich the category of the human has come to be defined. Or, it is essential for theorists to recall what it is that the prefixes “in,” “post,” “anti,” “trans,” etc., are in fact opposing, overcoming,denying, sublating and/or transcending. In order to recall the human, this paper returns to Aristotle in whom one finds perhaps the definitive canonical expression of the human as political. For, in Aristotle’s Politics one reads “humans are by nature political animals” (1.2.1253a2),1 and “a social instinct is implanted in all humans by nature” (ibid, a29-30). And, in Nicomachean Ethics one reads “humanity is born for citizenship” (1.7.1097b12-13). Essential to humanity, then, is the necessity of composition, or political constitution. The human, for Aristotle, however, is hardly a clear-cut matter. In fact, Aristotle also claims for humanity a part that is divine, eternal and separable from composition/constitution. This part is nous, or “mind.” The divinity of mind stands apart from the necessity that forces political community. As such, this paper argues that mind is something inhuman. The human, for Aristotle, therefore, is something of a paradox. In order to lay bare this paradox, this paper unpacks the key Aristotelian themes of essence, humanity, community and wisdom. It focuses primarily upon Aristotle’s De Anima , Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, and Politics.
A NECESSARY VIOLENCE: DECONSTRUCTING ANN HAMILTON’S TROPOS
Authors: Brandoli Susan
Published: November 2021

Installation art is not permanent; it is an act of art - an event that takes place over a certain amount of time and is conceived of only for a specific location. Of an installation, of the event itself, one can say that it consists of a series of signs, endlessly shifting in relation to each other, to themselves and to the viewer. The work tropos by installation artist Ann Hamilton focuses most notably on instances of repetition, what the artist sometimes calls the "accretion of small gestures" (qtd. in Hickey 129), and from this we can discern ideas that constitute notions of presence and absence. In order to investigate these ideas within Hamilton’s work, we can use as a starting point the strategies of deconstruction, drawn from the writings of Marx, Freud and Derrida, to begin to unravel the many varied parts of the whole.
A WALK ABOUT THE CITY: STALKER, THE TRANSURBANCE AND THE CITY MAP
Authors: Wiley Danielle
Published: November 2021

In the spring of 2007, I joined a group of urban activists called Stalker on a walk along the Tiber River in Italy. The walk, conducted over 12 weeks, began in the ancient port city of Ostia, where the mouth of the Tiber meets the Tyrrhenian Sea, continued north-east through the centre of Rome, and ended at the far edge of Rome’s greater metropolitan region. Stalker’s Tiber walk was a so-called "transurbance," a mode of critical walking created by the collective. Transurbances are walks in the leftover spaces in and around the contemporary metropolis, which Stalker calls "actual territories." In the transurbance, walking is both a mode of expression and a useful instrument for learning about the ongoing social and morphological transformations in cities. Stalker’s transurbance of the Tiber was more specifically a means of engaging the individuals and communities living illegally along the riverbanks, and then conveying aspects of their living conditions to the public. Stalker was accompanied by architecture students whose aim was to produce an atlas of the riverbanks, describing the spaces and qualities of this urban environment that are typically excluded from city maps. In this context the transurbance is a kind of oppositional map, where the map is understood in two senses: as a process of investigating a territory ("mapping" as a verb) and a means of representation (a "map" as noun).
Youth Engagement and the Colbert Nation: From Passive Consumer to Passively-Active Viewer
Authors: Bertram Kris
Published: November 2021

The youth of today have been cast in a state of temporality, with no way of knowing whether their condition is permanent or transitionary. Today’s youth are regarded as a low priority by politicians, and scholars and policymakers often view this dis- connection as a crisis in citizenship within advanced industrial democracies. is disengagement from electoral politics has contributed to several underlying issues, such as, a feeling of alienation from the political process, and a growing disinterest toward the political system. However, young people are now engaging in non- electoral forms of civic and political engagement, such as, participatory culture, which facilitates space for political and civic youth mobilization, and this, in turn, promotes democratic values of involvement.This paper examines the institutionalization of political media satire, with a speci c focus on the commodi cation of the content found on The Colbert Report. I will explore the role of institutionalized political satire within hegemonic institutions, and argue that TCR creates a viewership based on the fetishism of commodities. However, where fetishism often generates passive reception, I argue that the com- modi cation of political content and TCR fandom culture generates a passively- active viewer, and facilitates a space for youth engagement. For reasons discussed, it remains an open question whether young people will take full advantage of the political knowledge and awareness gained from watching TCR, and whether this will lead to future political advocacy. Keywords: Colbert Report, civic engagement, political media e ects, political satire, political participation, youth participation.
The Claim of Fragmented Self in Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson
Authors: Talei Leila
Published: November 2021

This paper offers a discursive reading of the Autobiography of Red (1998) written by Anne Carson, a novel loosely based on the myth of Geryon and the Tenth Labor of Herakles. Carson’s Geryon is a fragmented modern subject who is molested as a child and betrayed in a love affair as an adult. At one of its thematic levels the work examines the efforts of an outcast who attempts to reclaim a meaningful subjectivity in a modern world characterized by fragmentation grounded in anxieties, frenetic confusion, and cultural pressures.The term “fragmentation” has a multiplicity of meanings and changes its signi - cance depending on the individual/subjective sociocultural context. The study of the formation of a fragmented self must take into account the variety of factors, including class, gender and cultural frameworks. This paper interrogates such symbiotic relationships between the processes of subject fragmentation within a social realm and the principles and values introduced by the power structures apparent within society. Referring to Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punish, where discipline “makes” individuals in the society and is the technique used by the dominant power to control its subjects as instruments, this paper examines the connection between Carson’s novel and the notion of agency within fragmentation. By portraying a sexually disoriented subject, Carson shows how power structures are formed and manipulated through its agents (Geryon’s mother, brother and Herakles), and offers an illustration of the alternatives available to those who resist being framed. I examine the portrayals of such subjects’ striving for liberation from the hierarchies of power through the intertextual embodiment of the image of an eruptive volcano and its generative power of wrath which resists to be categorized or tamed by “Mother Nature.” This paper evaluates the essential features and outcomes of the myth of Geryon as a study of a fragmented subject struggling to bring the fissuring dimensions of his personality and sexuality together to form an autonomous subjectivity.KEYWORDS: Subjectivity, Fragmentation, Power Principle, Body, Individuality Norms
Key Concept: A Turn Towards Academobilities
Authors: Brown Samantha
Published: November 2021

This paper introduces the key concept ‘academobilities’ as an addition to the growing collection of keywords of mobility studies. Situating academobilities within the tradition of keywords will allow scholars across disciplines to refer to it as a tool that can be used in their own research. Academobilities is a two-fold concept. First, it calls into question the culture surrounding academia by examining the specific ways information is transported and communicated to the public, critically examining power structures, inclusions, and exclusions. The second way in which academobilities can be employed is to examine the interconnected relationship between the academy and mobility; academia is dependent upon mobility. This paper introduces academobilities as a key concept that scholars can adopt and apply in unique ways that move beyond this two-fold understanding. Scholars across disciplines can certainly add fruitful theoretical underpinnings to academobilities, andto do so is encouraged. Understandings of key concepts change and fluctuate over time (Williams 1976) to address our ever-changing society. The goal of writing this paper is to identify a starting point from which scholars of all disciplines can leap.

Committing Sociology: Being Healthy, Happy, and Up-High in St. James Town
Authors: Bisaillon Laura , Hassan Mehdia , Hassan Maryam
Published: November 2021

There is a doggedly persistent, pervasive, and pernicious tendency to individualize ratherthan socialize problems. This is a discernable pattern that we see all around us,independent of any one particular social context. This collaboratively produced article isan example of and commitment to feminist praxis. We intentionally mobilize the “toolsof social science, friendship, and the power of conversation” (Mountz, 2016) to bring tolife ideas that Mehdia experienced for the first time in Laura’s undergraduate classroom.Specifically, she and fellow classmates, along with Maryam, learned how to cultivate andemploy their “sociological imagination” (Mills, 1959, 2000); connecting aspects ofbiography with materially arising social conditions. The aim of such inquiry is togenerate new insights and critically minded, contextually situated, and empiricallysupported explications for how things happen for and around us in the world we inhabit.In doing so, we are able to “sociologically reimagine” analysis by using visual modes ofinquiry and intentional “interdisciplinary entanglement” to blur the boundaries betweentraditional and so-called non-traditional modes of knowledge making (Jungnickel &Hjorth, 2014). We argue that the time is absolutely upon us to “commit sociology,”[1]and we offer this article as an intervention that does just this.
