Osynligt förtryck och vita kroppar. Förhandlingar kring judiskhet i Sverige
Authors: Nylund Susanne
Published: February 2019

The majority of the approximately 20,000 Swedish Jews are not immediately recognisable as Jews, and pass as ordinary Swedes. In this article, with inspiration from Critical Whiteness Studies, this invisibility is analysed in terms of whiteness. Critical Whiteness Studies argue that in postcolonial societies, such as Sweden, whiteness functions as a taken-for-granted norm that regulates who is regarded as white and Swedish. The aim of the article is to investigate the consequences of the norms of whiteness for Jewish life in contemporary Swedish society. From a large body of material on Jewish life in Sweden two interviews have been selected for analysis.

The article argues that the practices of passing as white demand skills and knowledge about how and when it is suitable and adequate to expose or hide being Jewish. The interviewees find the category ‘Swedish’ far too limited to encapsulate Jewish life in all its forms. Their engagement in the practices of passing as white shows that Swedish contemporary society is imbued with colonial imaginary reproduction norms of whiteness.
Matka ja liike nenetsien epiikassa ja šamanistisessa runoudessa
Authors: Lukin Karina
Published: February 2019

Artikkelissa pohditaan nenetsien suullisen runouden heijastamia myyttisiä maisemia ja niissä liikkumisen tapoja. Lähtökohtana on ajatus mytologisesta korpuksesta, jonka puitteissa yhteisöt tuottavat ja uusintavat käsityksiään ja tietoaan tuonpuoleisesta. Artikkelin aineistona ovat M. A. Castrénin ja Toivo Lehtisalon muistiinmerkitsemät eeppiset laulut, sjudbabtsit ja rituaalitekstit, sambadabtsit. Artikkelissa osoitetaan, että epiikan tuonpuoleiset maisemat perustuvat nenetsien arkipäiväisille poropaimentolaismaisemille ja pitkille matkoille. Šamanistinen rituaalirunous keskittyy yhteisön läheisille pyhille paikoille. Molemmissa lajeissa monikerroksinen maailma ja mahdollisuus liikkua kerrosten välillä on keskeinen myyttisen tiedon hyödyntämisen ja saamisen kanava.
Muistelun monet muodot – kertomus, kehollisuus ja hiljaisuus paikan tietämisen tapoina
Authors: Korjonen-Kuusipuro Kristiina , Kuusisto-Arponen Anna-Kaisa
Published: February 2019

Artikkelissamme tarkastelemme Karjala-muistelun kehollisia ja materiaalisia ulottuvuuksia, muisteluun liittyviä käytäntöjä ja erityisesti hiljaisuutta osana muistelua. Pohdimme, millaisia hiljaisia käytäntöjä muistelussa rakennetaan, uusinnetaan ja toisaalta kuinka näitä hiljaisuuksia haastetaan. Artikkelimme perustuu Kurkijoelle vuonna 2010 tehtyyn kotiseutumatkaan ja siellä kerättyyn etnografiseen aineistoon. Tutkimusaineistona on tutkijan kenttätyömuistiinpanot, matkalaisten muistiin kirjoittamia mietteitä ja valokuvia. Artikkelimme metodologisena kontribuutiona on tarkastella kertomusta, kehollisuutta ja hiljaisuutta yhtä aikaa ilmentyvinä tietämisen tapoina, ja osoittaa, miten näitä muistelukäytäntöjä voidaan tutkia aistietnografian keinoin.

Artikkelimme osoittaa, kuinka erilaiset muistelukäytännöt muodostuvat, kuinka niihin otetaan osaa, miten niistä kerrotaan ja ennen kaikkea, miten keholliset käytännöt tulevat näkyviksi yksilöiden muistelukerronnan kautta. Karjala-muisteluun liittyy myös hiljaisuuksia, jotka konkretisoituivat erityisesti Karjalan matkoille tyypillisissä, toistuvissa käytännöissä. Hiljaisuus konkretisoitui esimerkiksi haluttomuutena muistaa ja muistella vaikeita asioita. Tällaisiin kokemuksiin ja muistoihin liittyy sanallistamisen vaikeutta, mutta samalla kuitenkin näiden moniaistillista, osin tiedostamatontakin, esiin tuomista. Hiljaisuuksien tulkinta on haasteellista ja tutkijalta tulkinta vaatii huolellisuuden lisäksi myötäelämisen kykyä ja hienotunteisuutta.

Artikkelin johtopäätöksenä on, että sosio-tilallisen kuulumisen analyysin tulee olla tilannesidonnaista ja tarkastelussa tulee hyödyntää limittäin kehollisuutta, kokijoiden muistelupuhetta ja materiaalisten elementtien tarkastelua. Näin on mahdollista paremmin ymmärtää muistelun poliittisuutta sekä paikan tietämisen kansallista, yhteisöllistä ja subjektiivista kehystämistä.

Sociology of political satire: United States and China
Authors: Ho Tung Manh
Published: February 2019

Satire, in the broadest sense, is an art of using humor, irony, exaggeration to criticize and expose some ridiculous aspects of people’s behavior, stupidity, and vices. One of the crucial aspects of satire is the laughter that arises from the interaction between the producer (writer, comedian, cartoonist) and the audience through a number of mediums: print, cartoon, TV, audio, or online networks. Though the literature on the meaning and function of satire is extensive, most researchers seem to agree on the two most crucial components: humor and criticism (Phan, 2003). Given that the nature of satire and political satire is about using humor to criticize and expose some ridiculous, vicious, and stupid aspects of politics, this essay will look at the changes in the social landscape of political satire in the United States and China from a sociological perspective.

Authors: Kushwaha Anu , Singh Pankaj Kumar
Published: February 2019

Background: Poisoning is a very common medico-social problem in our part of the world. It significantly contributes to the morbidity and mortality, which is a big concern and burden to our society.

Objective: To determine the demographic profiling of poisoning in Emergency Department of Kathmandu Medical College.

Methododogy: This is a cross sectional study conducted for the period of six months from March 2017 to September 2017 at the Emergency Department Kathmandu medical college teaching hospital. The study includes the cases of poisoning brought to the above mentioned institute for management. The data thus collected was entered in the SPSS and analysed to find the poisoning profile. Ethical clearance was taken from Institutional Review Board of Kathmandu Medical College.

Results: A total of 40 cases of poisoning came to Emergency Department over the period of six months of which 14 (35%) were males and 26 (65%) were females. The mean ages for males were 32.07 years and females were 26.23 years. Regarding time of consumption 42.5% of cases consumed poison at night. The most common poison consumed was Organophosphorus (55%) and next in kin was paracetamol (15%).

Conclusion: People in the productive age groups are more prone to poisoning with various products due to stress or other social economic factors. Social education and strict rules and regulation for the sale of the pesticides can be useful in containing this problem.
Le « troisième cinéma » au Québec : effervescence et lignes de faille
Authors: Bouchard Vincent , Froger Marion
Published: February 2019

The Rencontres internationales pour un nouveau cinéma sought to create a federation at the international level, by way of ensuring “an essential dialogue” and to “stimulate and make coherent [the] strategies” of everyone in both the North and the South who adhered to “Third Cinema,” under the patronage of Fernando Solanas. But this “community” was in fact quite fragile, and brought to the fore the divergences in viewpoints, practices and objectives which had so animated the milieu of Quebec cinema. Beginning with Guy Hennebelle, the ideological strife of this period has already been widely discussed, but our objective in this article is to identify the fault-lines that affected the different ways of understanding “audiovisual mediation” in the face of the “social change” such mediation referred to. We insist particularly on the uncertainty that defines notions of “public” and “collective,” as well as the role played by the introduction of video in documentary circles. We also take account in this portrait of Quebec cinema’s structural configuration, a milieu that allowed for the existence—despite these divergences—of a pluralist political cinema that was the period’s most activist, inventive and inspiring.
Algiers-Buenos Aires-Montreal: Thirdworldist links in the creation of the Latin American Filmmakers Committee (1974)
Authors: Mestman Mariano
Published: February 2019

In terms of the New Latin American Cinema, the documents and audiovisual records of the Rencontres international pour un nouveau cinéma provide insight into this period of organization of filmmakers in the region. In the most common accounts of this historical moment, three key aspects revealed in the Montréal Documents are often ignored or attributed little importance: a) the fact that during the Rencontres, Latin American filmmakers had given shape to an initial group that is the immediate predecessor of the renowned Latin American Filmmakers’ Committee created in September that same year (1974); b) that the political relations among the most well-known Latin American figures (like Solanas, Pallero, Achugar, Littin, García Espinosa) were wrought with tensions and conflict; and c) that within the goal of organizing and forming a group of Latin American filmmakers, the Third Worldist trends seen in the gatherings in the Third World Cinema Committee meetings of Algiers (December 1973) and Buenos Aires (May 1974) and (in some way also) Montréal (June 1974) were aimed at forming a Latin American Filmmakers Federation (FELACI) that would operate under or follow the example set by FEPACI (the Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers). This article focuses on these questions, which have been largely ignored in the film historiography of political cinema in the world.
Dissonances in 1970s European and Latin American Political Film Discourse: The Aristarco – García Espinosa Debate
Authors: Rozsa Irene , Salazkina Masha
Published: February 2019

The essay elaborates on the debate which took place between the Italian Marxist critic Guido Aristarco and the Cuban filmmaker and theorist Julio García Espinosa during the Rencontres internationales pour un nouveau cinema, an event which took place in Montréal in 1974. The essay provides cultural and historical background to the theoretical and political disagreements, which surfaced during this encounter, emphasizing the importance of the legacy of the debates on socialist realism in Italy, as well as the shifting attitudes of the European Left towards Cuba in the course of the 1960s and 1970s. In conclusion, the essay addresses the domestic and international reception of the film which sparked the controversy in Montréal—Girón (Bay of Pigs, Manuel Herrera, 1972).
North and Sub-Saharan Africa at the Rencontres internationales pour un nouveau cinéma in Montreal, 1974: Background Notes
Authors: Saglier Viviane
Published: February 2019

This article focuses on the North and Sub-Saharan African guests at the Rencontres internationales pour un nouveau cinéma in Montréal in 1974. It seeks to situate them within the film environment they participated in shaping at home, in order to better understand their contribution and the dialogues they engaged with in Montréal. These participants came as representatives of specific instances and organizations, a testament to Africa’s growing regional and national film industries, which positioned the continent as a major actor in the defense of cinema in the Third World struggle against imperialism. I examine how the challenges and successes African filmmakers meet in developing regional alliances intersect with broader concerns in the Third World expressed at Montréal 1974.
The British Contingent in Montreal
Authors: Chanan Michael
Published: February 2019

The British group at the Rencontres in Montréal in 1974 included three people who represented three poles of radical film culture in the U.K. at the time. Simon Hartog represented the radical wing within the film union, the Association of Cinematograph, Television and Allied Technicians (ACTT), and was the researcher for the union’s report on nationalising the film industry. Nick Hart Williams represented The Other Cinema (TOC), an alternative distribution non-profit collective with a focus on political films from the Third World and political fare from Europe and the U.S. Gustav Lamche was a founding member of Cinema Action, a political collective that established particularly strong links within the trades union movement. The nationalisation plan was utopian and quietly dropped, but the growing band of independent political filmmakers, who were mostly outside the union, came together in 1976 to form the Independent Film-Makers' Association (IFA), which negotiated a Workshop Agreement with the ACTT and was recognised with slots on the new Channel Four when it started broadcasting in 1982.
Self-Exculpatory Imaginings: Reenactment and Observation in The Act of Killing
Authors: Meneghetti Mike
Published: February 2019

This article examines the contradictory inheritance of “observational cinema” on The Act of Killing (Oppenheimer, 2012): its recourse to direct cinema’s emphasis on portraiture; its reliance upon an image of personality derived almost exclusively from self-presentation; and the delegation of intentionality via technology and self-validating diegetic figures. Conjoined to its commitment to the historiographic significance of artifice and fantasy, The Act of Killing’s simultaneous – and paradoxical – affirmation of a behavioural spontaneity during its observational sequences is an equally important, if critically underappreciated, element in its moral demonstration. Initially lauded for exceeding the bounds of realism, this “observational documentary of the imagination” (Oppenheimer) also returns viewers to the more familiar individualized emotional geographies of direct cinema. In the final analysis, I argue, the tangled, unresolved exchange between self-consciously deployed reenactments and a more conventional observational approach in The Act of Killing ultimately discloses one source for the niggling political conundrums identified by the film’s critics.
Balabanov’s Bandits: The Bandit Film Cycle in Post-Soviet Cinema
Authors: White Frederick H.
Published: February 2019

Aleksei Balabanov, Sergei Sel’ianov and their production company CTB played an important role in the cultivation and propagation of the bandit film cycle in Russian cinema. In as much, Brother (1997) and Dead Man’s Bluff (2005), act as bookends for this productive cycle and refract the Russian bandit cultural mythos. As the political and social situation in Russia evolved, so too did the films that glamorized and refracted this period of lawlessness. By placing Dead Man’s Bluff within the context of the bandit cycle, it is then possible to interpret the film as a postmodern pastiche in which Balabanov critiques and parodies the films that he and CTB popularized – once again providing a cinematic auto-citation, for which Balabanov was so well-known.
Cirugía fetal: actualidad
Authors: Huamán Guerrero Moisés
Published: February 2019

La cirugía fetal -o mejor denominada materno-fetal, porque los medicamentos y técnicas quirúrgicas son administrados al feto a través de la madre, por tanto, comparten riesgos-, se inició hace más de 40 años. El 2016, a propósito de un simposio sobre actualidad de la medicina fetal en el Perú, publicado en esta revista, afirmamos: “Estos avances configuran una nueva especialidad médica multidisciplinaria, que considera al feto como un paciente individual y en la relación con su madre, estableciéndose tratamientos profilácticos, terapéutica médica directa o través de la madre, intervenciones guiadas por ecografía, cirugías abiertas y fetoscópicas, con ventajas a los tratamientos convencionales. Esta realidad obliga a revisar aspectos éticos y legales relacionados al no nacido, a cambios tanto en la organización de los servicios de salud, como en la currícula del pre y posgrado de los nuevos profesionales”. Añadíamos: “Actualmente, en nuestro país, la aplicación de estos avances está en etapa incipiente. En los niveles de decisión de las políticas de salud hay desconocimiento y desinterés por el tema a pesar de ser prioritario. Sin embargo, a través de las instituciones académicas y científicas se insiste en la necesidad de crear una organización formal dentro del sistema de salud que garantice una Medicina Fetal de calidad”(1).

Después de aumentar durante varias décadas, la tasa de cesárea se ha estancado en aproximadamente el 32% de todas las entregas (1). En Perú, la tasa ha seguido aumentando de 22.9% en 2011 a 34.8% en 2017 (2). La tasa es más alta en los hospitales de seguridad social y mucho más en los hospitales privados.
Prólogo al simposio Cirugía fetal en América Latina
Authors: Gil Guevara Enrique
Published: February 2019

La introducción de la ecografía y la visualización del feto durante el embarazo empezaron una revolución que permitió diagnosticar en vida fetal los problemas que solo se llegaban a conocer en el recién nacido; al mismo tiempo, el reconocimiento del feto como paciente. La incorporación de la Medicina Fetal nos permite ofrecer a muchos padres información y asesoramiento más precisos sobre problemas fetales, y en algunos casos brindar una esperanza a problemas graves mediante tratamientos dentro del útero que, en los últimos 20 años, han permitido salvar la vida de miles de fetos que consiguieron nacer y que ahora son adultos.
Cirugía fetal en bandas amnióticas
Authors: Diaz Primera Ramiro Jesús , Gil Guevara Enrique Damián , Sánchez Jiménez Raúl , Bermúdez González Carlos
Published: February 2019

El síndrome de bandas amnióticas (SBA) se caracteriza por un acúmulo de bandas o cuerdas de tejido fibroso que se adhieren al feto y pueden producir compresión en diferentes partes del mismo. La gran mayoría de los casos presentan múltiples anomalías congénitas incompatibles con la vida. En un pequeño grupo de fetos se evidencian constricciones aisladas de la extremidad, las cuales pueden causar disfunción severa de la extremidad o amputación del miembro si no son tratadas mientras el feto está todavía en el útero. Esta rara condición ocurre en aproximadamente 1:1 200 a 1:15 000 nacidos vivos. La causa exacta de SBA permanece incierta; sin embargo, se plantean teorías de origen intrínseco, extrínseco y iatrogénico. La evolución de la extremidad afectada por SBA se caracteriza por la progresión de edema distal debido a obstrucción venosa, con amputación intrauterina del miembro secundaria a insuficiencia vascular. La liberación fetoscópica de las bandas amnióticas a través de técnicas de cirugía mínimamente invasivas, puede permitir la preservación de la vida, así como la función de los miembros en los casos de fetos con diagnóstico de SBA. Al revisar la literatura se concluye que la liberación fetoscópica de bandas amnióticas permite la preservación de la función de la extremidad en 50% de los casos.

We report the results of U-Pb ages from detrital zircon populations in the lower Eocene synorogenic Willwood Formation in the northern Absaroka Basin, Wyoming. Zircons (n=229) were extracted from three sandstone beds and one ash layer in the Willwood Formation at the base of Jim Mountain in the North Fork Shoshone River Valley. K-S statistical analysis indicates that the three sandstones, which were sampled from the base, middle, and top of the formation, have identical age spectra, indicating that the sandstone provenance remained the same during the duration of Willwood deposition. The zircon age spectra are dominated by Archean zircons (61%), with peak ages at 3270 and 2770 Ma. These sandstones also have very early Paleoproterozoic zircons (∼2450 Ma), which likely were derived from the Tobacco Root Mountains. The final significant age peak is ∼70 Ma, which is likely associated with the Cretaceous Tobacco Root batholith. The Jim Mountain ash, which occurs at the top of the succession, just beneath the allocthonous volcanic rocks of the Heart Mountain slide, has a maximum depositional age of ∼50 Ma. Between 49–50 Ma, as Eocene volcanism in the northern Absaroka Range became more prominent, stratovolcanoes grew and disrupted sediment transport into the Absaroka basin. Lower Wapiti sandstones to the southwest show a mix of Eocene, recycled Proterozoic and Archean grains. The coeval Crandall Conglomerate, which was dismembered by the emplacement of the Heart Mountain slide in the northern Absaroka Range, has a distinct detrital zircon age spectrum. Thus these stream systems that deposited the Crandall did not share the headwaters with the streams that supplied sediment to the Absaroka basin.

More than 2500 m of Paleozoic strata, ranging in age from Cambrian to Permian occur in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico, making these rocks the largest and most complete exposures of Paleozoic strata in North America. The core of the Sacramento Mountains reveals compressional structures associated with the Pennsylvanian-Permian Ancestral Rocky Mountain orogeny. The Permian Abo Formation is 120–450 m in thickness, and consists of interbedded sandstone, conglomerate, limestone and shale and rests above the Ancestral Rocky Mountain unconformity. U-Pb analysis of detrital zircons extracted from quartzite clasts in basal conglomerates reveal a maximum depositional age of their protolith to be 1110 ± 15 Ma. Most (∼40%) of the detrital zircon age spectrum is Grenville (1000–1300 Ma) in age, with a peak age of 1209 Ma. Midcontinent Granite-Rhyolite (1300–1500 Ma) ages comprise about 33% of the data, and have a peak age of 1431 Ma. Smaller age populations of Yavapai-Mazatzal (1600–1800 Ma; age peak =1676 Ma), Trans-Hudson (1800–2000 Ma; peak age = 1820 Ma), and Archean (>2.5 Ga, age peak = 2819 Ma) also are present. U-Pb detrital zircon ages from these quartzite clasts indicate that they were likely derived from the Proterozoic Lanoria Formation, which is exposed now in the Franklin Mountains >150 km to the south. The Lanoria is identical to the Abo clasts in terms of maximum depositional age and detrital zircon age peaks. The protolith sandstone of these quartzite clasts and quartzites of the Lanoria were derived from the Grenville high-lands of the Llano region of central Texas, and then transported west to the Rodinian continental margin at ∼1110 Ma, where they were eventually buried and metamorphosed to quartzite. These quartzites were subsequently uplifted and eroded during the Ancestral Rocky Mountain orogeny and transported north and west along the Pedernal Uplift to the adjacent Orogrande Basin during the early Permian.
Expression of the Colorado Mineral Belt in Upper Cretaceous Niobrara Formation Source Rock Maturity Data from the Denver Basin
Authors: Thul David , Sonnenberg Stephen
Published: February 2019

New source rock maturity data along the Colorado Mineral Belt trend in the Denver Basin reveal that source rocks in the deepest portion of the basin range from the onset of oil generation to wet gas maturity across a distance of less than 30 miles along present day structure. Additionally, sampled rock core and cuttings along a northeast-southwest transect reveal that the Niobrara Formation is within the oil maturity window all the way to the Nebraska-Colorado border. The correlation of these analyses to an identified thermal anomaly demonstrate that maturity along these trends is affected by a historical increase in heat flow that can still be seen in the present-day bottom-hole temperatures. The identified maturity anomaly has significant implications for Niobrara prospectivity within the basin. Crossplotting, mapping, and numerical modeling show the onset of hydrocarbon maturity in the Niobrara is represented by 432 °C Tmax and that hydrocarbon expulsion occurs between 438 °C and 443 °C Tmax. In the Niobrara Formation of the Denver Basin there is a strong correlation between oil and gas shows, elevated bottom-hole temperatures (and thermal gradients), and geochemical maturity parameters. Through mapping of maturity and free hydrocarbon anomalies, more than 80% of the present day production can be predicted with source rock mapping.
Paleontological Evidence Against a Major Geographic Barrier at about the Paleolatitude of Colorado, USA, during the Late Campanian (Late Cretaceous): The Conspicuous Absence of Endemic Subclades of Chasmosaurine Ceratopsid (Horned) Dinosaurs and Its Significance
Authors: Berry Keith
Published: February 2019

Several paleontologists have suggested that a major geographic barrier at about the paleolatitude of Colorado either prevented or severely restricted biogeographic exchange between the northern and southern regions of western North America during the Late Campanian. However, the origin and nature of this barrier remains enigmatic. In the present study, this hypothesis is tested by determining whether the diversification of Late Campanian chasmosaurine ceratopsid (horned) dinosaurs was affected by the presence of a barrier or, in other words, whether the biogeographic distribution of closely related species was nonrandom with respect to a line of paleolatitude drawn across Colorado. The results of this test indicate that there could not have been a major geographic barrier, which has implications for paleoclimatic and paleogeographic reconstructions of the Colorado region during its early Laramide history.
Introduction
Authors: Chaudhuri Mayurakshi , Thimm Viola
Published: February 2019

The past decade has witnessed an exponential growth in literature on the diverse
forms, practices, and politics of mobility. Research on migration has
been at the forefront of this field. Themes in this respect include heterogeneous
practices that have developed out of traditions of resistance to a global historical
trajectory of imperialism and colonialism. In response to such historical
transformations of recent decades, the nature of postcolonial inquiry has
evolved. Such changing postcolonial trajectories and power negotiations are
more pronounced in specific parts of the world than in others. To that end,
“Postcolonial Intersections: Asia on the Move” is a special section that engages,
examines, and analyzes everyday power negotiations, focusing particularly
on Asia. Such everyday negotiations explicitly point to pressure points
and movements across multiple geosocial scales where gender, religion, age,
social class, and caste, to name a few, are constantly negotiated and redefined
via changing subjectivities.
Echoes of Colonial Logic in Re-Ordering “Public” Streets

This article investigates three historical moments in Rangoon, Burma (Yangon,
Myanmar) when the city has restricted certain forms of mobility. The first occurred
in 1920, when British authorities restricted rickshaws pulled by Indian
laborers. The second was in 1960, when the military “caretaker government”
sought to sideline pedicabs and horse carts as part of an urban “cleanup”
campaign. The third happened in 2017, when city authorities under a new
democratic government sought to limit the number of taxis and allow digital
ride-hailing services such as Uber and Grab to operate in the city. Despite three
very different forms of government, the later discourses eerily echo the exclusionary
logic that certain forms of migrant driven mobility need to be cleared
away for more “modern” mobility.
The “Eurasian Question”
Authors: Rosen Jacobson Liesbeth
Published: February 2019

This article examines the arrangements that authorities put in place for populations
of mixed ancestry from two former colonies in Asia—the Dutch East
Indies and British India—and compares them with those of French Indochina
during decolonization. These people of mixed ancestry, or “Eurasians,” as they
were commonly called at the time, were a heterogeneous group. Some could
pass themselves off as Europeans, while others were seen as indigenous people.
The arrangements were negotiated during round table conferences, at
which decolonization in all three colonies was prepared. Which agreements
were made, what consequences did they have, and how and why did these differ
across the three colonial contexts? To answer these questions, I use material
from governmental archives from all three former colonial contexts. The
article shows that information on the paternal ancestry of Eurasians was decisive
in the allocation of European citizenship and admission to the colonizing
country.
The Needle Drop
Authors: Noseworthy William B.
Published: February 2019

Scholarship in the field of hip-hop studies has convincingly argued against a
“cultural grey out” and in favor of “local idiosyncrasies” in the mobility of cultural
forms. That said, no published study has focused on the movements of the
artists themselves in a transpacific context that places scenes in Japan, South
Korea, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Vietnam in conversation with one another.
Varying histories of colonialism and postcolonial movements are essential aspects
of each social context. I argue that the transpacific lens allows scholars to
draw out the movements of individuals, influences, and emergent trends in the
art form to better understand how artists are, metaphorically, scratching back
and forth between representing originality on the one hand and the need for
popular appeal on the other. I draw on vinyl itself as a metaphor for this article,
which is framed as an EP.
Difficulties in Written Communication Faced by the Students of Commerce: A Study Conducted at Graduate Level (B.Com)

Published: February 2019

The purpose of this paper is to highlight difficulties the students of Bachelor of commerce (B.Com) face in written communication. During the final year of B.com they study the subject of business communication focused on business correspondence. The major barrier for the students is their inability to use syntax correctly. For this purpose data were collected from 125 randomly selected students form institutes of commerce education in Bahawlapur using untimed grammaticality judgment test. This test was proposed by Rod Ellis (2005) and Erlam (2006) consisting of seventeen challenging grammatical structure. The result showed that majority of students were unable to use correctly the basic structure of English language syntax in their writing. In the posttest interviews they shared that they did not learn these basic structure of English ever in their academic career as they were forced to cram materials.
A Study of Absurdity in Samuel Beckett’s Play Waiting for Godot and Albert Camus Novel The Outsider
Authors: Ullah Irfan , Iqbal Liaqat , Rehman Abdur
Published: February 2019

While keeping in view the elements of absurdity, the study focuses the analysis of Samuel Beckett’s play “Waiting for Godot” and Camus’ novel “The Outsider”. The artistic features of these works such as title, setting, structure, theme, characters and actions/dialogues are overviewed through the lens of absurdity. Both of the texts have these issues in some proportion with different contexts but many similarities. The absurdity appeared was in the form of meaninglessness of life without any goal and purpose, chaos in life, love for death and emotional and spiritual barren characters.
