Published: November 2022

No presente estudo buscou-se investigar a Bacia do Córrego do Lajeado, no município de Corumbataí - SP, utilizando-se de conceitos e métodos já consolidados no conhecimento geomorfológico, considerando-se como relevante as ações antrópicas na esculturação do relevo local. Assim, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar as condições morfométricas nessa bacia hidrográfica e compreender as alterações antrópicas nas áreas de nascentes, atualmente ocupadas pela atividade agropecuária e em parte por fragmentos de mata. Concluiu-se que em função do uso desordenado da terra, no conjunto da bacia, as nascentes e os cursos de água estão comprometidos, enquanto elementos da paisagem responsáveis pela manutenção dos recursos hídricos.
PRESERVAÇÃO AMBIENTAL E A RESERVA LEGAL DAS PROPRIEDADES RURAIS NO ESTADO DE MINAS GERAIS: ASPECTOS JURÍDICOS
Authors: Lima Elaine Cristina Ribeiro , Lima Samuel do Carmo
Published: November 2022

O objeto deste estudo é a compreensão da importância do instituto da Reserva Legal para a preservação ambiental e manutenção do equilíbrio ecológico, bem como da necessidade de regularização das reservas legais das propriedades rurais que não a possuem. Através do método de pesquisa bibliográfica, o presente estudo demonstrará as hipóteses legais de compensação de Reserva Legal para os imóveis de Minas Gerais carentes de vegetação nativa, enfocando, para tanto, a legislação estadual deste estado (Lei n. 14.309/2002 - Código Florestal de Minas Gerais), que traz hipóteses específicas, em comparação com a Lei Federal n. 4771/65 (Código Florestal Brasileiro), que trata o tema de forma mais generalizada. É feito um comparativo de argumentações a favor e contra a adoção da legislação mineira, principalmente sobre o cunho de uma análise da constitucionalidade ou não da referida norma estadual, sob a ótica do Ministério Público de Minas Gerais e do IEF - Instituto Estadual de Florestas, expostas numa Ação Civil Pública que versa sobre o tema, para ao final se adotar a teoria de que a legislação mineira é passível de ser adotada, no que tange à compensação pela ausência de Reserva Legal. Além da ausência de inconstitucionalidade da legislação estadual, somada ao motivo que faculta aos proprietários terem mais opções para instituir a Reserva Legal em suas propriedades, é que se conclui pelas benesses que poderão ser acarretadas com sua adoção no Estado de Minas Gerais.

Authors: Adedeji Adebayo Laurence , Suleiman Ibrahim Eleha , Ayelagbe Olubunmi Gloria
Published: November 2022

Background: Polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia (PHGG) is commonly associated with liver disorders and could signify an enhanced or defective immune system. This study was conducted to determine the distribution and significance of PHGG in phases of chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB).

Methods: Serum protein electrophoresis and colorimetric protein were assayed in 80 inactive (IA), 45 immune-clearance (IC) and 17 immune-escape (IE) CHB participants. ANOVA and Student’s t-test were used for the comparison of data, while area under curve analysis was used to assess the performance.

Results: A significant elevation in γ-globulin was observed in the 3 phases studied in relation to non-hepatitis B virus-infected controls. The incidence of PHGG in different phases of CHB are IA (61.3%), IC (33.3%), and IE (29.4%). The IA phase, considered the least severe, has the highest incidence of PHGG.

Conclusion: Occurrence of PHGG seems to signify enhanced immune responses. It may also be used to some extent to predict the IA phase.

Statement of novelty: This study utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the patterns of PHGG in untreated and categorized CHB infections.
Was tun, wie umgehen mit dem ›Dissonanten Kulturerbe‹?
Authors: Engl Waltraud Kofler
Published: November 2022

The notion of dissonance expands on Norbert Huse’s concept of Uncomfortable Monuments to include the identification of conflicting heritage communities emerging from divergent practices of use and memory and differing political, cultural and social affiliations. This notion can be ascribed to any cultural heritage and invokes multi-perspective approaches to research, participation and mediation strategies. In border areas and sites of conflict, the dissonance model can become a laboratory for diverse site- and situation-specific perspectives on and inclusive processes of negotiation of existing cultures of memory and commemoration. Fostering the individuals’ right to participate in the process of definition, research into, and interpretation of cultural heritage, the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society (2005) provides instructions on the study of dissonant cultural heritage and explicitly recommends the democratic participation of different perspectives in the shared co-production of heritage.
Dynamic Assessment of College EFL Learners’ Speaking Proficiency: A Case Study
Authors: QU Xin , LIU Yuanyuan
Published: November 2022

To investigate the impact of dynamic assessment (DA) on the development of speaking skills, a case study was conducted, recruiting a non-English major undergraduate. DA was constructed following the design combining sandwich and cake format with an interactionist approach. To collect data, a profile was designed in accordance with the China’s Standards of English Language Ability (CSE) to record the learner’s changes. A semi-structured interview was conducted to reveal his perspectives on DA. The generated profile with specific mediator-learner’s moves revealed the learner’s microgenetic development in both organizational knowledge and oral expression strategy ability. The thematic analysis of the interview demonstrated the learner’s positive experience with DA, while also unveiling the weak points of DA. Finally, the operational framework for applying interactionist DA in the oral classroom was discussed, and the complementary relationship between DA and traditional teaching and testing practices was highlighted.
A Development Study on the Ordering Distribution of Temporal Adverbial Clauses by Chinese EFL Learners Based on Dependency Treebank
Authors: Li Wenwen , Long Yijun
Published: November 2022

Temporal adverbial clause is an important language structure and exhibits different features in English and Chinese, which brings about difficulties for Chinese EFL learners. Based on the theory of Dependency Grammar, the study attempts to investigate the ordering distribution of temporal adverbial clauses by Chinese EFL learners at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. The results show that: 1) Chinese EFL learners at different proficiencies tend to precede temporal adverbial clause to main clause. With the increase of proficiency, the postposition of temporal adverbial clauses by learners increases and is approaching to the ordering preference of target language. 2) The ordering distribution of subordinators for temporal adverbial clauses by Chinese EFL learners is consistent with native English, showing a tendency of 100% preposition, which ascribes to the high frequency and salience of subordinators in English. 3) MDD is one of the significant motivations that cause the preference of prepositional temporal adverbial clauses by Chinese EFL learners. As a kind of natural language, interlanguage has a unique cognitive mechanism which distinguishes from both native and target language. This study provides a more comprehensive theoretical reference for learners at different proficiencies to understand and learn temporal adverbial clauses, as well as data support from empirical research for language teaching.
A novel method for low-cost and rapid preparation of nanoporous phenolic aerogels and its performance regulation mechanism
Authors: Zhang Yijun , Yuan Chengfan , Ding Jie , Zhuang Yingluo , Li Yan , Wang Cunku , Huang Zhixiong
Published: November 2022

The large-scale application of phenolic aerogel is limited by its complex and lengthy production process as well as its expensive cost. Herein a simultaneous drying-curing method for phenolic aerogels was designed based on the sol–gel process, and a series of phenolic aerogels with different hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) contents were prepared. The material parameters such as microstructure, pore structure, mechanical properties, shrinkage, and density of the aerogel were characterized. The results show that compared with the conventional full-sealing method, the simultaneous drying-curing method shortens the preparation time of aerogels by nearly half and improves the safety of the preparation process. The prepared phenolic aerogels still maintain the nanoporous microscopic morphology. When the HMTA content is 1/6 of the phenolic mass, the linear shrinkage rates of the aerogels prepared by this method and the conventional full-sealing method are 9.8 and 9.4%, respectively. The densities are 0.25 and 0.22 g·cm−3, and the BET specific surface areas are 54.42 and 54.31 m2·g−1, and the compressive yield strengths are 1.76 and 1.16 MPa. At the same time, the thermal conductivity of the phenolic aerogels prepared by the simultaneous drying-curing method is less than 0.06 W·(m·K)–1 at room temperature. These results indicate that the properties of the aerogels prepared by the simultaneous drying-curing method are close to those prepared by the conventional method, which proves that this method has guiding significance for the large-scale, low-cost, and rapid production of nanoporous phenolic aerogels.

Methods of party and state organs in the closure of Russian orthodox churches in the Crimea in the period of 1948–1961 and attempts to counteract them by archbishop Luka (Voino-Yasenetsky)
Authors: Shimon Ioann
Published: November 2022

The article examines the policy of the Soviet government in relation to the Russian Orthodox Church in Crimea, traces the changes in the internal state of the Crimean diocese in the period from 1948 to 1961, analyzes the methods of party and state bodies to close the churches of the Russian Orthodox Church in Crimea and attempts to counter this by Archbishop Luka (V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky). The features of the implementation of the episcopal vocation are revealed on the example of the activities of the head of the diocese.During the years of “scientific atheism”, persecutions were aimed at “re-educating” believers, as well as leveling the significance of religion in the eyes of society. The fight against religion was carried out by the forces of not only the law enforcement system, but also the party and Soviet authorities, management and collectives of enterprises, trade unions, the Komsomol, and public organizations. Various methods have been used to achieve these goals. In the press and on the radio, biased and biased materials about religion and the church, as well as notes concerning specific clergymen, were posted. Priests were harassed, removed from registration, and deprived of the opportunity to preach. Pressure was exerted on the heads of dioceses and clergy, and an active propaganda campaign was conducted. On various far-fetched reasons, religious organizations were liquidated, religious buildings were demolished, and applications for the opening of new ones were rejected by the authorities. One of the methods of pressure on the Russian Orthodox Church was to increase the tax burden on religious organizations. The believers were also prosecuted. Representatives of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church played a significant role in this process.
Lithuanian dabar̃ ‘now’ and the Baltic *-ā́-illative
Authors: Ostrowski Norbert
Published: November 2022

Lithuanian dabar̃ ‘now’ comes from the illative of the continuative adverb dãbar ‘still, yet’; schematically: dãbar ‘still, yet’ → illative *dabar-ā́ > *dabarà > dabar̃ ‘now’. Change in accentuation visible in dãbar ‘still, yet’ vs. dabar̃  ‘now’ brings to mind a similar process in illative forms, e.g. acc.sg. *mìškan → ill.sg. *miškan-ā́ > dial. miškanà > ill.sg. miškañ. The primary illative *dabar- ā́ is preserved in the dialectal dabarõs ‘now’, which is traced back to a contraction of *dabar-à-es. The postposition *-es is a mark of the enclitic verb esti ‘is’. The shift of accent like between dãbar ‘still, yet’ and dial. dabarõs ‘now’ can also be observed in a few other adverbs, e.g. *pa gãli (cf. OLith. ik’ gâli ‘to the end’) → pagaliõs ‘in the end’.
Terrestrial Lords? An onomastic view on Zemopacios in Lasitius
Authors: Sommer Florian
Published: November 2022

The present paper presents evidence for treating the expression Zemopacios in Lasitius’ De diis samagitarum […] as referring to the totality of divinities enumerated in the text’s catalogue of gods. Such an extension of reference was made possible by secondarily motivating the name as if connected with žemas “low”. Consequently, Zemopacios adopted traits of an appellativum.
From gaspaža to kundze: female honorifics in Latvian in the 16th–19th centuries
Authors: Vanags Pēteris
Published: November 2022

This article focuses on those modern and historical Latvian words that, in addition to the main component of the meaning ‘adult woman’, also include the components of respect and/or social status, namely, gaspaža, madama, dāma, and kundze. The article discusses the emergence and change of use of these lexemes in the 16th–19th century with a special focus on the processes of the middle and second half of the 19th century.

In less than a century, the semantic field of the honorific female designations in the Latvian language has undergone significant changes. From one word gaspaža to four in the 1870s, but the most significant changes took place in the last twenty years of the century. In formal and neutral use, kundze and dāma were strengthened, each occupying a different part of the semantic field, competing synonymously only in the general sense of ‘honorable woman’, as well as in the function of address. However, even in this case, kundze is more often used in the context of the singular and dāma in the plural. In turn, lexemes gaspaža and madama have become characteristic of colloquial language and fiction; they often have an ironic or negative connotation.
A MATHEMATICAL STUDY OF THE SRAFFIAN MODEL
Authors: Hall Luis J.
Published: November 2022

This paper has two primary objects. On the one hand, it presents a rigorous derivation of the Sraffa model recurring to some theorems discovered by Frobenius and Perron at the beginning of the twentieth century. This presentation is used to study the concept of productive economies or surplus economies, the solution to the price system and also to provide a clear derivation of the concept of the Standard Commodity.The second goal of the paper is to sketch von Neumann's balanced growth model and show how Sraffa's model is related to Neumann`s model. Showing the role of the assumptions, one can establish the relationship between both models, particularly the role of irreducibility to obtain uniqueness and unify the study of both models.

DISTRITOS INDUSTRIALES TURÍSTICOS EN COSTA RICA: ESTUDIO DE CASO DE LA FORTUNA Y MONTEVERDE EN EL PERIODO 1980-2010
Authors: Vargas Montoya Luis , Sandoval Alvarado Catalina , Vargas Montoya Luis
Published: November 2022

Este estudio analiza los factores que contribuyeron al desarrollo de los distritos industriales turísticos en La Fortuna y Monteverde en el periodo 1980-2010. El análisis parte de la teoría de distritos industriales, que se sustenta en un fenómeno de aglomeración de pequeñas y/o medianas empresas, en una determinada región y en torno a una actividad económica; donde la región se caracteriza por albergar una comunidad y no ser solo un centro de trabajo. Se evaluaron cinco factores propuestos por la literatura: concentración del empleo, aglomeración empresarial, factor institucional, factor cooperación y factor comunidad, mediante la adaptación y aproximación de las metodologías existentes. Se verificó la presencia de los cinco factores y se determinó la existencia de un distrito industrial turístico en La Fortuna y Monteverde, sin embargo, no se logró identificar individualmente cuáles de ellos favorecieron o desfavorecieron su formación ni en qué medida.
EFECTO DE LA LIBERALIZACIÓN COMERCIAL SOBRE EL BIENESTAR DE LOS HOGARES COSTARRICENSES DURANTE EL PERIODO 1995-2006
Authors: Chacón Romero Sergio , Garita Garita Jonathan , Lobo Rodríguez Alejandra
Published: November 2022

En el presente artículo se analiza el efecto que tuvo la liberalización comercial, entendida como reducción arancelaria, sobre el bienestar de los hogares costarricenses durante el periodo 1995-2006. Dicha política tiene un impacto directo en los precios de los bienes transables, lo cual afecta de manera indirecta a los precios no transables y a los salarios, alterando así el bienestar de los hogares. Se obtuvo, como sugiere la teoría, ganancias en bienestar derivadas de la liberalización comercial; sin embargo, la transmisión fue imperfecta y baja. Los resultados además muestran que los beneficios no se distribuyeron asimétricamente, pues los hogares de menores ingresos y los trabajadores de baja y media calificación fueron los más favorecidos.

Improving directional control of the upper limb in severe stroke: Efficacy of the Bobath concept: A pilot randomised trial
Authors: Brock Kim A. , Luke Carolyn , Tillyard Jane , Simondson Janine , Black Susie
Published: November 2022

This study investigated whether a brief intervention based on the Bobath concept in people with severe stroke receiving inpatient rehabilitation resulted in enhanced directional control of the upper limb compared to a control intervention. Fifty-three people with severe upper limb deficits between four to 18 weeks post stroke participated in a single blinded randomised controlled trial, in addition to usual care. Participants in the Bobath group (n = 30) were allocated to six one-hour interventions. Those in the control group (n = 26) received a time-matched intervention including passive or assisted active movement, positioning, and sham transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The primary dependent variable was the Pre-Functional Upper Limb Test (PreFULT). Secondary measures included the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM), grip strength, and the Chedoke Arm and Hand Inventory. Following the intervention, the Bobath intervention group had significantly higher scores on the PreFULT than the control group (p = 0.042); Bobath baseline median 27.2 cm (interquartile range [IQR] 14.9, 73.4), post intervention median 59 cm (IQR 28.7, 136.4; n = 29), control baseline median 21.7 cm (IQR 11.9, 39.6), post intervention median 35.8 cm (IQR 17.4, 63.8, n = 24). Higher scores were observed for the STREAM post intervention for the Bobath group (p < 0.001). No differences between groups were observed for the other measures. Interventions based on the Bobath concept may be more beneficial for recovery of upper limb control in people with severe deficits following stroke than usual care.

Published: November 2022

Malignancies of the nasal vestibule are rare, yet may result in massive destruction of the face if left untreated. The position and extent of the resulting defects is not only a rehabilitative challenge but also a major psychological burden for the patient. This paper describes a technique for designing and fabricating an immediate surgical obturator and nasal prosthesis to help minimize the post-surgical impact following a total rhinectomy and partial maxillectomy procedure in a patient diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal septum. The restoration consisted of bilateral zygomatic implants attached to a resin framework housing a central magnet. The latter was used to retain the nasal prosthesis and help support an interim maxillary obturator. Conventional impressions of the dentition and a moulage of the nasal defect were taken. The master casts were poured and used for design and fabrication of the obturator and nasal wax pattern Colour matching of the nose and facial areas was performed with the aid of a digital spectrophotometer (Quickweigh; Spectromatch Ltd., UK), and a silicone nasal prosthesis was fabricated. This case demonstrated how both a functional rehabilitation and reduced psychological impact was achieved by delivering an immediate surgical obturator and facial prosthesis.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare muscular disorder caused by mutation of gene encoding dystrophin protein which required for maintaining muscle stability during contraction. DMD occurs in 1 in 5000 male live births and characterized by progressive muscular weakness associated with motor development delay, loss of independent ambulation, respiratory failure, and cardiomyopathy. We present a case series of 3 DMD patients who were diagnosed at Prof. dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah general hospital, Denpasar over a period of four years (2019-2022). Clinical manifestation of patients includes progressive weakness of lower extremities and difficulty to stand up from sitting position. Physical examination revealed pseudohypertrophy of calf, winged scapula, positive Gower’s sign, and waddling gait in all three cases. Supporting examination showed an increase of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase 5.6 times and 6.1 times the upper limit of normal, respectively. Definitive diagnosis of all patient was made based on immunohistochemistry staining which revealed an absent of dystrophin protein around muscle membrane.

Valsalva sinus aneurysm (SVAs) and double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is an uncommon congenital heart defect and are usually associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD) in 50% to 60% of patient’s population. The current case report had documented a 59 years old hypertensive asymptomatic male with a known case of SVAs presented to our hospital following device closure for 6 months. On examination, the patient was diagnosed to have DCRV induced by SVAs prior to the closure along with other factors. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on DCRV induced by SVAs in synergy with other associated multifactors and without VSD among the Indian population.

Hoffman's syndrome is a rare form of hypothyroid myopathy, which causes proximal muscle weakness and pseudohypertrophy of muscles. It is a complication of untreated or uncontrolled Hypothyroidism.The neurological manifestations of hypothyroidism usually occur late in the course of disease. It is quite rare to present with neurological manifestations in the earlier stage of disease. Very few cases of Hoffman’s syndrome were reported from India. Here we report a case of 27-year-old male who presented to the medicine OPD with initial symptoms of proximal muscle weakness, fatigue and calf muscle hypertrophy. On further evaluation patient was found to have hypothyroid myopathy in the form of Hoffman’s syndrome.

Published: November 2022

Background: There is paucity of published data on head and neck tumours (HNTs) in Ghana, even the few studies available were conducted in the middle and southern belts of the country. The present study in northern Ghana, was conducted to study the histopathological characteristics of HNTs and offer recommendations.

Methods: This retrospective study analysed HNTs for the past 10 years at the Tamale Teaching Hospital in northern Ghana.  

Results: There were 576 HNTs, with 66.0% benign and 34.0% malignant. The mean age (years) was 34.9±21.6. Females were commonly affected 53.6%. Benign tumours were diagnosed in relatively young patients with mean age of 29.6±19.2, compared to 44.9±22.6 for the malignant tumours. Patients commonly present late with HNTs. The common anatomical sites were: odontogenic and maxillofacial bone (18.4%), oral cavity and mobile tongue (18.1%), and hypopharynx and larynx (13.9%). The histopathological subtypes were: squamous papilloma (13.9%), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (12.8%), and salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma (9.4%). The common benign tumours were; squamous papilloma (21.1%), salivary glands pleomorphic adenoma (14.2%), and benign vascular tumours (13.9%). For malignant tumours the order was; SCC (37.8%), lymphoma (11.2%) and olfactory neuroblastoma (10.2%). A significant number of patients had no history of cigarette smoking (p<0.0001).

Conclusions: Benign tumours were the common neoplastic lesions within the head and neck region. HNTs were common in relatively young patients and in females. Benign tumours were diagnosed in relatively young patients compared to malignant tumours. Patient with malignant tumours presented early to health facilities, compared to those with benign tumours.
Right internal jugular vein phlebectasia-a rare cause of neck swelling in paediatric population
Authors: Jayakumar Varunkumar , Arora Priyanka Kumar
Published: November 2022

Reporting a case of an 8-year-old boy presenting with a right neck swelling appearing on straining which otherwise not seen with a diagnosis of right internal jugular vein phlebectasia. Paediatric population with neck swellings more commonly misdiagnosed clinically and hence with non-invasive radiological investigations like Ultrasonography with colour doppler and contrast enhanced computed tomography was done to confirm the diagnosis. Phlebectasias are at times incidental findings and stay asymptomatic, hence proper diagnosis with radiological investigations is needed as they are misdiagnosed with other neck swellings. Only few cases of internal jugular vein phlebectasias have been reported and approximately 20 cases have undergone surgery for cosmetic purposed and majority were managed conservatively like in our case report. This needs to be kept as a differential diagnosis in a paediatric patient presenting with neck swelling.

Post auricular sinus is a rare variant of the preauricular sinus in which sinus opening is located posterior to the tragus. Surgical excision of the sinus tract with its branches should be done in cases presenting with recurrent infections. There are 2 approaches unidirectional and bidirectional and the choice of approach depends on the preference of the surgeon. In our case right side post-auricular sinus was noted in a 35-year-old male which was surgically excised by unidirectional approach.

Wry neck or congenital muscular torticollis is consequent to shortened or contracted sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). A painless, retracted sternocleidomastoid muscle is the characteristic feature which results in tugging the neck towards affected side, and draws the shoulder upward and forces the chin in the opposite direction. The incidence is between 0.4 to 1.9%. A 17 years old lady with torticollis since childhood is being discussed in detail with the steps of surgical intervention; at three sites to attain a sternocleidomastoid release and resistance free neck and thus a free head movement. This was followed by application of cervical collar, active physiotherapy and postural exercises. The ignorance and improper advice during childhood had led to this marked deformity at adolescence.

Published: November 2022

O presente estudo realizou uma revisão de literatura do tipo narrativa-expositiva sobre o aproveitamento integral da espiga do milho em diferentes produtos e preparações alimentícias visando a alimentação humana. Inicialmente, apresenta-se a história do surgimento e popularização do milho tanto a nível mundial quanto a nível Brasil, sendo abordado também a versatilidade que esse cereal apresenta. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi direcionada para o aproveitamento das quatro estruturas físicas da espiga do milho: o sabugo, o grão, o estigma (cabelo do milho) e a bráctea (palha do milho) e suas composições, visto que o sabugo se divide em palha fina, grossa, anel lenhoso e medula enquanto o grão é dividido em endosperma, gérmen, pericarpo e a ponta. As diferenças físico-químicas das estruturas e de suas frações potencializam a utilização destas de diferentes maneiras, seja através de alimentos clássicos como a pamonha, a canjica e o mungunzá ou a outros que são menos conhecidos, como é o exemplo do “cookie” a partir da farinha de gérmen de milho. No trabalho foram encontrados dezesseis produtos diferentes e sessenta e oito trabalhos (artigos, monografias, dissertações, teses, comunicado técnico) que permitem a elaboração do fluxograma do processo desses produtos. Essa revisão não exaustiva permitiu constatar a grande versatilidade e possibilidades tecnológicas que a cadeia produtiva do milho apresenta ao mercado.

Past Conditional Subjectivities: Enacting Relationships with the Non-Human in the Work of Ana Mendieta
Authors: Tedford Matthew Harrison
Published: November 2022

Inspired by what literary scholar Lisa Lowe calls “the past conditional temporality”—or the “what could have been”—this paper examines how the work of 20th-century Cuban American performance artist Ana Mendieta challenges modernist ontologies that separate the human from the non-human, simultaneously calling on older ways of being and demonstrating that they never disappeared. Many argue that the ecological crises of the Anthropocene are in large part due to the proliferation of modernist worldviews that set humans apart from the non-human world. The rise of European rationalist philosophies in the early modern period played a central role in the proliferation of instrumentalist relationships between humans and the non-human world.
This paper explores how Mendieta’s Silueta and Rupestrian Sculptures series (from the 1970s and 1980s) resist the logic of European capitalism and colonialism, revealing that the relationships that rationalism sought to subdue have always existed, will continue to exist, and can proliferate. Symbolic communication is a key means of mediating and actualizing relationships between subjects, and so, if a non-instrumental relationship is possible between the human and non-human, visual art ought to be a possible means of enactment. Through Mendieta’s work, this paper considers the mechanisms by which this is possible. By considering meaning-making as a basis for life, the co-constitution of human/non-human subjectivities, and the inherent permeability of the category of the individual, this paper highlights counter-modernist visual art practices that are of special urgency in the age of the Anthropocene.
