¿Asistentes Virtuales?… Solo hay que caminar con cuidado
Authors: Galarreta Oliveros Gracia Isabel
Published: March 2020

Las últimas tendencias tecnológicas nos acercan más a los robots y los hay de todos los tipos, desde simples palancas automatizadas hasta los que caminan, hablan y actúan como personas y que desarrollan funciones específicas en las fábricas, hogares y oficinas. Esto es una realidad que aún la percibimos con respeto en nuestro país, pero en el mundo se usan ya los asistentes virtuales. Wikipedia menciona que los Asistentes Personales Inteligentes no son otra cosa que un tipo de software que puede desarrollar funciones, tareas u ofrecer servicios a un individuo. Todas estas funciones basadas en una gran data que es alimentada por los usuarios con reconocimiento de ubicación, con la habilidad de acceder a información de una variedad de recursos en línea (como al clima, tráfico, noticias, precios de acciones, etc.), resaltando que la mejor característica es su habilidad para organizar y mantener información que incluye el manejo de correos electrónicos, eventos en el calendario, archivos, lista a seguir, manejo de agenda y un manejador personal de salud (ejemplo: monitorear la ingesta diaria de calorías, el ritmo cardiaco y el régimen de ejercicio, después hacer recomendaciones y dar opciones para mejorar la salud). Pues bien, ahora ya no solo son las máquinas, sino también los softwares los que pueden reemplazar las funciones del ser humano, me asombro todos los días con la tecnología que se pone a nuestra disposición, dispositivos que nos facilitan y agilizan nuestras funciones, pero sería inapropiado pensar que ahora solo vamos a descansar porque ellos lo harán todo; estos dispositivos, al igual que las personas, necesitan un control diario y de avanzado conocimiento tecnológico, implica que nuestro conocimiento debe avanzar en tecnología…, pero ¿solo en tecnología?, No!... sobre todo, en ética y valores. Compartiré con ustedes la escena a de una película vista en la década pasada, llena de acción, crimen y tecnología donde se dio el siguiente diálogo o algo parecido ­ Detenido: ¿Oiga, cuántos idiomas habla? ­ Detective: ¿Por qué?... más de tres ­ Detenido: Yo en cambio solo uno, el 010110100101100101, ja ja, binario y me es suficiente. Con eso conozco tu historia, vacío tus cuentas y las de tus amigos, también cambio tus datos en el sistema, así que trátame bien o me recordarás para siempre. Siento, sinceramente, que aunque la tecnología haya avanzado tanto y de manera tan alucinante, el respaldo legal no nos protege en la misma magnitud; la risa, miedo, ira y otros sentimientos que me produjo esa escena hace más de una década aún la siento cuando quiero ingresar a la tecnología avanzada, el hecho de recibir 500 correos de un desconocido porque el software estuvo mal programado o que te descuenten 5000.00 soles de tu cuenta por la misma razón me sacan de foco, solo nos queda seguir preparándonos. Entonces sigo con la pregunta ¿Asistentes virtuales?, Si, pero con cuidado.

Published: March 2020

Background: Calcaneum fractures constitute the majority of the tarsal bone fractures worldwide. There is no gold standard consensus as of now for the management of the displaced intra articular calcaneal fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation with plating is one of the management options available.Methods: Authors studied the results of open reduction and internal fixation with plating in 22 calcaneal fractures in a study with a minimum follow up of 6 months. Outcome was studied using Maryland foot score.Results: Authors observed excellent results in 5 patients (22.72%), good results in 12 patients (54.54%), fair results in 4 patients (18.18%) and poor result in 1 patient (04.54%). Authors encountered wound infection in 1 patient (4.54%), heel varus in 1 patient (4.54%), heel broadening in 1 patient (4.54%), reduced range of motion at ankle in 2 patients (9.9%) and persistent heel pain in 1 patient (4.54%).Conclusions: Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) with calcaneum plating, through an extensive lateral approach, for displaced intra articular fractures of the calcaneum is an effective treatment modality with very good results in experienced hands.
Proposal for geological classification and nomenclature of soils: both genetic-descriptive and compositional-mineralogical
Authors: Cruz-Guevara Luis Enrique , Cruz-Ceballos Luis Felipe , Avendaño-Sánchez Gladys Marcela , García-González Mario
Published: March 2020

Numerous systems with detailed classification of soil are in existence. Most of them are based on a variety of complex criteria, such as material type and properties like the amount of organic material, presence of clay layers, and the presence of oxidation or reduction iron-rich horizons, as well as depositional characteristics, its landform morphology and depositional formation processes. Many of these have been developed for use in fields such as agronomy and geotechnics. This paper focuses on the classification of the soil by determining its materials, their origin and the geological processes that shape them, following these basic assumptions: (1) The soil initially comes from the weathering of a parent substrate that can be either sedimentary deposits (for example, alluvial or fluvial) or of any type of rock (igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary), (2) the parent substrate structure is composed by original sequential facies (e.g. foliation, igneous cumulates or stratigraphic intercalation of sedimentary layers), (3) the physical and chemical weathering and the biogenic activity and productivity processes that occur in the soil modify both the original structure and the constituents of the parental substrate, resulting in the formation of new materials, the conservation of others, and the overprint of the sequential facies of the soil (horizons A, B and C) developed on the original parental sequential facies, additionally (4) some materials will be lost from the system and others will be incorporated into it. Finally, a strictly compositional-mineralogical classification of soil is also proposed, which corresponds essentially to the main groups of minerals: silicates, carbonates, phosphates, oxides and hydroxides, sulfates, organic rich matter, nitrates, sulphides, borates, native elements and halides, named in sedimentology as monomaterials, plus the polymaterials or rock fragments (RF). This classification offers an advantage when examining materials that are not genetically linked to the parent substrates, making each soil profile unique, by highlighting the role played by the parental materials in this process. This classification is intended to complement, but not replace any existing soil classification

Painting from the Other Side: Tracing the Reparative Turn in Contemporary Practice
Authors: Forrester Shannon
Published: March 2020

Painting from the Other Side, is the curatorial project section of a larger interdisciplinary practice-led research project titled Embodying the Reparative Turn: Seeking Agency through Studio Practice in Individual and Collective Contexts that investigates the potential of the reparative turn in painting, aesthetics, narrative, and curation to subvert, evade, and exit from dynamics of exclusion linked to homophobia, misogyny, and racism. It considers how systemic cultural agents propagating exclusion deploy inequity to obstruct human flourishing, then explores how they are subverted through diverse reparative practices in painting. Painting from the Other Side included an open call for paintings that engage with reparative content by artists whose identities are in some way outside of the minority power position of the Western canon of painting by straight white male artists. It included intensive studio visits and culminated in an exhibition. This paper proposes a theoretical framework of reparative painting and practice, tracing the many paths research-participant artists followed towards a reparative turn in painting.
Recuperating Conflict: Between Critical Generosity and Antagonistic Activation
Authors: Langlois Justin
Published: March 2020

In this paper, I will argue that small scale conflict and disagreement in civic life are a vernacular part of our social experience and yet, in the hands of artists, they can actively work against larger hegemonic structures and help foster new expressions of agency and democratic action. By examining a number of socially engaged art projects I developed as the research director of the artist collective, Broken City Lab, and by situating this work in relation to a number of core ideas exploring notions of antagonism, I propose a tactical recuperation of the idea of conflict in order to see it as a core part of our democratic social lives.
From Bubbles to Foam, A Nomadic Interpretation of Collaborative Publishing: A Review of Jorge Lucero and Colleagues’ Article in Art Education

This review is a bricolage of nomadic encounters with Jorge Lucero and colleagues’ (2016) article on ways to engage with collaborative publishing. Lucero presents a Facebook discussion amongst practitioners denouncing the limited power of practitioners in shaping academic discourse. It shows how social media can serve as a platform for inviting the practitioner’s voice into research. The authors illustrate that by using Facebook, practitioners’ unfamiliarity and discomfort with academic standards can be bypassed. It demonstrates metalogue as a conceptual form of writing that disrupts the structure of conversations and challenges the authorial researchers’ voices. A critical note, however, is whether it is beneficial in the long term to consider the academic and social media parts as separate accounts. We argue that collaborative publishing requires collaborative research and writing in the first place. In response to the article, we started a WhatsApp conversation. This enabled us to reflect on the content of the article and experience the use of social media as a collaborative writing method ourselves.
L’alcool dans la traduction polonaise de “Verre Cassé” d’Alain Mabanckou
Authors: Woch Agnieszka
Published: March 2020

Le roman Verre Cassé, publié en 2005 par l’écrivain franco-congolais Alain Mabanckou, a été traduit en polonais par Jacek Giszczak sous le titre de Kielonek en 2008. L’action du récit se déroulant dans un bar, le champ lexical de l’alcool y est omniprésent. Pour cette raison, nous nous pencherons sur la traduction des termes et des expressions liés à cet univers, entre autres ceux désignant des objets (comme « verre » ou « bouteille »), des types de boissons, des dénominations relatives à une personne qui s’enivre, des mots et expressions suggérant un état de dépendance et des verbes et des expressions verbales renvoyant à l’action de boire. Nous examinerons les choix du traducteur, tels que le recours à la traduction littérale, au calque, au changement de ton et de registre et à la sur-traduction. Nous réfléchirons à la richesse lexicale du français et du polonais dans ce domaine et nous nous concentrerons sur le registre des termes employés dans le texte de départ et dans le texte d’arrivée.
Entre eau de savon et fée verte : quelques remarques sur les mots et le discours de l’absinthe
Authors: Kacprzak Alicja
Published: March 2020

Peu de boissons sont aussi présentes dans la culture française que l’absinthe, ce spiritueux à base de Artemisia absinthium, autrement nommée herbe de la Saint-Jean. Traitée par les uns comme fée verte, accusée par les autres « qu’elle rend fou et criminel, fait de l’homme une bête et menace l’avenir de notre temps » (formulations des ligues de vertu du début du XXe s.), l’absinthe a fourni un motif largement exploité dans la littérature, dans la peinture, dans la chanson etc. L’usage de l’absinthe s’est largement popularisé à la fin du XIXe et au début de XXe siècle. Par conséquent, la boisson a obtenu en français plusieurs appellations informelles, oscillant entre les formulations mélioratives comme nymphe verte et péjoratives comme poison vert. Dans notre article, il sera question de présenter le lexique de l’absinthe, standard et non standard, ainsi que la façon dont différents auteurs français ont parlé de cette boisson dans leurs ouvrages.
The relationship of sleep mechanisms and epileptogenesis
Authors: Kozhokaru A. B. , Vlasov P. N. , Orlova A. S.
Published: March 2020

Close links between epilepsy and sleep is doubtless; however, the available literature does not allow for its unequivocal interpretation from the common pathophysiological mechanisms' perspective. GABAergic neuronal deficiency is believed to be the neurochemical background of the intimate mechanisms of sleep and epileptogenesis. Sleep impacts the epileptiform activity, with an increase in epileptiform discharge during NREM and a decrease during REM phases. Sleep deprivation may complicate the course of epilepsy, while epileptic attacks may change the sleep structure and quality. Anti-epileptic agents exert diverse effects on the sleep architectonics; they can induce sedation or increase alertness. Our potential to correct the results of the pathological interplay between sleep mechanisms and epilepsy are rather limited and are frequently overestimated by clinicians. Investigation of the interrelationship between epileptic seizures and sleep and the use of polysomnography can substantially add to the diagnosis of the epileptic syndrome and define the subsequent outcomes.

Authors: Ashournejad Qadir , Mirzaei Saham , Hoseini Seyyed Javad
Published: March 2020

Oil spills are major water polluting sources. Due to its devastating effects on the sea and ocean ecosystem, detecting oil pollution in the shortest time and with the highest confidence level is necessary. Remote sensing being a suitable option, the capability of Landsat multispectral data and airborne hyper-spectral data from the AVIRIS sensor was investigated for study of the 2001 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In this study, a part of the 2001 oil spill data was processed in terms of cloud spots,bad pixel and atmospheric correction. The pixel purity index was used to extract the end -members of water and oil spill and the linear spectral unmixing method was used for mapping of water from oil spills. The results show that the AVIRIS image is able to detect the type and thicknesses of oil spill, due to its ability to cover the diagnostic spectral signature of oil.Keywords: Monitoring, oil spill, remote sensing, Landsat, AVIRIS.
Improvement technique of direct torque control of DFIG based on wind energy conversion system
Authors: Cherifi Djamila , Miloud Yahia
Published: March 2020

This paper presents a comparative study between two strategies for the direct torque control (DTC) of the doubly fed induction generator based on the wind energy conversion system. The first method is a conventional DTC and it is based on hysteresis controllers where the torque and the flux are regulated by these controllers. The second one is DTC by space vector modulation strategy (DTC-SVM) where the torque and flux are regulated by PI controllers. The main feature of the proposed (DTC-SVM) strategy is the reduction of torque and flux ripples. Simulation results of this proposed system were analysed using the MATLAB environment.

Keywords: Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), wind power generation systems, direct torque control (DTC), space vector modulation (SVM).

Authors: Zhitin Ruslan M.
Published: March 2020

We analyze the specifics of the organization of Russian pilgrims transportation to Palestine, the activity of the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade in the organization of pilgrims delivery is evaluated, the effectiveness of the created passenger departure system is analyzed. The relevance of the study consists in a comprehensive study of the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade activities in the arrangement of pilgrimage routes, the role of the created transport infrastructure in the formation of the Russian presence in the Orthodox East. The novelty of the work is determined by the study of interdepartmental cooperation of secular structures in the arrangement of Russian Palestine, the introduction of new sources from the B.P. Mansurov’s fund (SATR. F. 972) into the scientific circulation. It is shown that the inclusion of the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade in the Palestinian project made it possible to find acceptable solutions for transporting a huge number of Russian pilgrims. For the first time in the history of Russia, a centralized departure of pilgrims to Palestine was organized, and conditions were created for their reception and placement in the Holy Places. We pay attention to the fact that the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade leadership was to not only facilitate the pilgrims transportation, but also take on part of the costs of organizing the Jerusalem consulate, while combining the posts of consul and chief agent of the Society in one person. We reveal that the infrastructure creation for the reception and accommodation of pilgrims in Palestine opened a new stage in the development of the Russian presence in the Holy Land, strengthened the cultural and religious ties of Russia and the Middle East region.
To the issue of the formation of peacekeeping idea (on the example of the Suez Crisis of 1956)
Authors: Pokrovskaya Daria M.
Published: March 2020

The Suez Crisis of 1956 is considered one of the most acute regional conflicts of the Cold War period. Two of the five member states of the Security Council were involved in the conflict, who actively exercised the right of “veto” during any attempts at settlement, which paralyzed the existing mechanism for resolving conflicts within the UN. The disagreements of the “great” powers threatened to grow from a diplomatic confrontation into a military one, and conflict from regional to global. The solution was found at one of the sessions of the General Assembly, where Canadian L.B. Pearson presented his idea of resolving the conflict by creating the UN Emergency Forces. The study is devoted to the idea of creating a UN peacekeeping force, the founder of which is Canadian diplomat L.B. Pearson. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of L.B. Pearson in the formation of the idea of peacekeeping, on the example of participation in the settlement of the Suez Crisis. We discuss the historical aspects and conditions for the creation of the UN Emergency Forces, a comparative analysis was conducted with the first observation missions of the UN, substantiate principles, which became the basis for the functioning of peacekeeping forces. We draw conclusion that it was L.B. Pearson’s ideas that contributed to the resolution of one of the most acute crises of the second half of the 20th century, and the creation of peacekeeping forces proved the effectiveness of the UN in maintaining international peace and security, conflict resolution, and also laid the foundation for modern peacekeeping.
The terminology fund and features of the translation of the military Chinese sublanguage
Authors: Mozharov Maksim V. , Lopatin Roman D.
Published: March 2020

Nowadays, at the time of rapid growth of various branches of science and technology, the evolution of national languages is also observed. Each separate language expands its vocabulary through the inclusion of new terms, words and expressions that appeared in the language with the beginning of the technical revolution in the military and civilian spheres. As a result of the process impact of production modernization and updating the technical base around the world, completely new concepts and terms have appeared that have a narrow specialization, complexity, and are professionally oriented. As a result of this, natural difficulties and peculiarities arise in the translation of technical vocabulary lead to the question of the need for streamlining and in-depth analysis, and comparison of polysyllabic lexical units of the terminological fund of the Chinese language for further reproduction of an adequate translation into English or Russian. We determine lexical features of the terminology of the military Chinese sublanguage, study the composition of its terminological fund and ways of replenishing vocabulary, as well as study the main features of the military Chinese sublanguage translation and analyze the lexical, stylistic and syntactic features of the translation of the military Chinese sublanguage.
Correction of motor coordination abilities in acute cerebral circulation defect with the use of physical rehabilitation
Authors: Popov Andrey P. , Syutina Valentina I.
Published: March 2020

Due to the high frequency of strokes in the Russian Federation, leading to disability, loss of efficiency and loss of household autonomy, the development of methods of patients rehabilitation who have suffered acute cerebral circulation disorder is of high importance. The consequences of this condition is characterized by a number of syndromes, among which the leading role in reducing the motor activity of patients and limiting their ability to self-service, is hemiparesis, accompanied by a decrease in voluntary muscle strength in the affected limbs. We present the study results of computer stabilometry indicators as a means of assessing the ability to maintain static equilibrium in a standing position and control the oscillations of the general center of mass. We also present the evaluation results of arbitrary muscle strength of the affected limbs in patients with the consequences of acute cerebral circulation defect in the early recovery period. These studies were carried out as part of an experiment to assess the effectiveness of the multisensory stimulation technique, which is based on the combination of a number of stimulating and corrective effects in combination with physical exercises in closed and open kinematic circuits. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of the developed method of physical rehabilitation.
‘Arquitectura luminosa’ y modernidad: el fenómeno de la ‘lichtarchitektur’ en la arquitectura moderna de entreguerras en Alemania y España
Authors: Almonacid Canseco Rodrigo
Published: March 2020

ResumenLa “lichtarchitektur” o “arquitectura luminosa” es un fenómeno del período de entreguerras vinculado al desarrollo tecnológico, a la expresión artística de las vanguardias y a las nuevas demandas comerciales de la metrópolis. Los avances en luminotecnia y en la industria del vidrio son impulsados desde la Deutsche Werkbund para lograr una cooperación entre ingenieros luminotécnicos y arquitectos. En Alemania, la arquitectura moderna en seguida utiliza estos recursos para conseguir una imagen nocturna deslumbrante que destaque en las calles comerciales. El enorme éxito de esta tendencia suscita un debate para ver cómo controlar su impacto sobre el panorama urbano. En España, los arquitectos más vanguardistas pronto se hacen eco de esas novedades alemanas y comienzan a incorporarlas en algunas obras como signo de modernidad. Incluso se abre el debate sobre la regulación del problema estético urbano, apostando por seguir el modelo alemán.Abstract“Licharchitektur” or “Light Architecture” in the inter-war period is a phenomenon linked to technological development, to avant-garde artistic expressions and to new commercial metropolitan demands. The advances both in lighting and in the glass industry are driven by the Deutsche Werkbund in order to get a cooperation between lighting engineers and architects. In Germany, modern architecture promptly uses these resources to achieve a dazzling, night image that stands out in the commercial streets. The huge success of this trend stirs up a debate about the best way to control its impact on urban landscape. In Spain, the most avant-garde architects pay attention to those German novelties thereupon and begin to add them in some works as a sign of modernism. Even the question of regulating the urban aesthetic problem is raised, endorsing the German model.

ResumenA menudo se perciben las vanguardias arquitectónicas como movimientos opuestos a la tradición. Sin embargo, y pese a que parte de ellas nacieron con esa voluntad de ruptura, existen y han existido múltiples conexiones entre tradición y modernidad, entre las que puede desatacarse el valor asignado a determinadas tradiciones vernáculas por sucesivas generaciones de arquitectos. Entre estas últimas, han destacado históricamente las tradiciones mediterráneas, que se convertirían en fuente de modelos para algunas de estas nuevas arquitecturas. Desde apreciaciones puramente formales, desligadas de los condicionantes culturales y funcionales que las habían ido configurando generación tras generación, se llegó a menudo a una valoración más amplia de las mismas y, partiendo de ésta, surgirían importantes debates que contribuirían de forma significativa a la evolución de la arquitectura moderna. AbstractThe architectural vanguards are often understood as movements opposing tradition. Nevertheless, and in spite of part of them having been born under such a will, multiple links between tradition and modernity exist and have existed. Among them, the way successive generations of architects have valued particular vernacular traditions stands out, especially those belonging to the Mediterranean regions. These last traditions would historically become a source of references for some of those new architectural trends. From purely formal appreciations, disconnected from the cultural and functional conditioning factors which shaped them generation after generation, often a wider understanding of them was reached. From that starting point important debates would come up and they would significantly contribute to the evolution of modern architecture.
Arquitectos y contratistas modernos en México: vínculos internacionales entre De Lemos & Cordes y Milliken Brothers, 1898-1910
Authors: Silva Contreras Mónica
Published: March 2020

ResumenEs sabido que durante la primera década del siglo XX en México se construyó un gran número de edificaciones, tanto públicas como privadas, que significaron la difusión de materiales y técnicas constructivas modernas. Además del sentido moderno de sus funciones, muchas resultaron de procesos de gestión de la construcción novedosos, pues su realización implicó la importación de estructuras complejas, de grandes dimensiones, con gran variedad de materiales. Más que en sus aspectos técnico-constructivos, este artículo busca hacer énfasis en la incorporación de los mecanismos de gestión que estos implicaron. Los proyectos de los arquitectos Theodore De Lemos y August Cordes, construidos por el ingeniero mexicano Gonzalo Garita, con estructuras de acero de la empresa de Edward y Foster Milliken, también con sede en Nueva York, fueron resultado del desarrollo de un mercado en el cual aparecieron los primeros empresarios de la construcción modernos del país. El trabajo se centra en la realización en la Ciudad de México de los edificios para la Casa Boker y para la Mutual Insurance Company of New York en el contexto de las obras realizadas por los proyectistas y contratistas en Manhattan, Ciudad del Cabo o Johannesburgo. De ese modo se entiende una gestión moderna de proyectos y obras que se adelantaba a la globalización de nuestros días.AbstractIt is known that during the first decade of the twentieth century in Mexico was built a large number of buildings, both public and private, which meant the dissemination of modern building materials and techniques. Many of them were the results from new construction management processes, since their implementation implied the importation of complex and large structures which included different materials. More than about their technical-constructive aspects, this article seeks to emphasize the incorporation of the management mechanisms that these implied. The projects of the architects Theodore De Lemos and August Cordes, built by Mexican engineer Gonzalo Garita, with Edward and Foster Milliken’s steel structures company, also based in New York, were the result of the development of a market in which appeared the first entrepreneurs of modern construction in the country. The work focuses on the realization in Mexico City of the buildings for Casa Boker and for the Mutual Insurance Company of New York, in the context of the works of the designers and contractors in Manhattan, Cape Town or Johannesburg. In this way we understand a modern management of projects and works in advance of our day’s globalization.
Through the Arendtian Lens: Developing Statelessness through Gregor Schneider's 'Weisse Folter'
Authors: Freake Suzy K.
Published: March 2020

This article seeks to examine a productive intersection between contemporary artist Gregor Schneider and political/historical thinker Hannah Arendt. The purpose of such a task is to demonstrate the benefits of thinking beyond disciplines, whereby the application of political philosophy to an artwork affords a more nuanced art historical analysis, and, in turn, the reading of the contemporary artwork allows an updating and making relevant of historically embedded political philosophies.This article shall specifically explore Schneider’s 2007 work 'Weisse Folter', a large-scale, labyrinthine and institutional installation, by looking to Arendt’s conception of ‘statelessness’; a term indicative of certain people that were politically, legally and geographically displaced in the early 20th-century, resulting in populations unrepresented and unprotected by any governmental body. Although Arendt’s political inflection of the term is specifically rooted in historically determined data, 'Weisse Folter'’s various reference points (the practice of clean torture, the incarcerating spaces of Guantánamo Bay and the ‘ghost detainees’ held there) each contribute to the contemporising of her thinking. And yet, the term equally lends itself to art historical concerns, namely that of representation: the process of giving form or state to something. In looking at the representational, geopolitical and legal aspects of Weisse Folter, this article seeks to reinvigorate Arendt’s thoughts on ‘statelessness’ as contemporarily relevant, both for political thinking and art historical analyses.
Invoking The Spectral Body: A Study of Potential Corporealities in the Work of Marina Abramovic and Francesca Woodman
Authors: Purigali Prabhakar Prema
Published: March 2020

At the beginning of his much written about Specters of Marx Derrida writes, “For there is no ghost, there is never any becoming specter of the spirit without at least the appearance of flesh, in a space of invisible visibility like the disappearing of an apparition.  For the ghost, there must be a return to the body, but to a body that is more abstract than ever,”  In Specters, Derrida is not only proposing a theory of history, a theory of hauntology, but in describing and redescribing the very substantive nature of the specter, he is also proposing a theory of corporeality, a theory of what the flesh is and can be.  By using Derrida’s theory of, what I will call, “spectral corporeality” in conjunction with the photographs of Francesca Woodman and the performance art of Marina Abramovic, my paper will ask such questions as: How can the specter return to the body, but not be of the flesh? How can a living fleshly body extend into a spectral body? And, what does it mean to have a theory of the body that is not of the flesh, blood, bone and sinew of the living body?Abramovic’s grappling with bones (in “Cleaning The House” and “Balkan Baroque”) and Woodman’s faceless figure simultaneously going into and escaping from a grave stone , not only  contend with the spectrality of objects (relics), spectral histories inhabiting fleshly bodies and the spectral presence between audience and performer, viewer and artist, but with the gender of the spectral body.  To invoke “a body that is more abstract than ever”, Derrida wrestles with Marx, conjures the ghost of Hamlet’s father and summons Hamlet himself—an all male cast of spectral bodies; by examining Abramovic and Woodman’s art, I hope to understand how a female spectral body might make itself present, inhabit a  visual space of both flesh and ether.

The Myth of the Jedi: Memory and Deception in the Star Wars Saga
Authors: MacDubhghaill Rónán L.
Published: March 2020

The importance of science fiction in contemporary cultural studies can hardly be underestimated, no more than it can be denied. Many narratives emerging out of the world of science fiction have become fully integrated within the contemporary cannon of popular understanding, mythology and reference. Amongst these narratives, perhaps no story is more fully integrated with contemporary culture than the original Star Wars saga. More current in the contemporary social imagination than the norse sagas, or those of ancient greece, Star Wars shares many of their epic qualities. The focus on the heroic characteristics of individuals, for example, against the backdrop of a great conflict between forces of good and evil, in which the righteous and the virtuous prevail is the standard narrative of many epic cultures. Indeed, this is the origin of classic notions of virtue, which stay with us to this day (MacIntyre, 2007). In that sense, this saga could be understood as yet another permutation of a story which has been told since time immemorial. Yet, as with the classical sagas, one must be sensitive to problematic aspects within their narratives; to the version of morality which they promote, and the ways in which they do so. This main focus in this essay will be just one such problem: the (mis)use of memory within the narrative of the original Star Wars saga, and deception as it relates to the myth of the Jedi.
