Elizabeth Bishop's Evolutionary Poetics
Authors: Giragosian Sarah 
Published: December 2016

Abstract“Elizabeth Bishop's Evolutionary Poetics” theorizes the queer Darwinian and biopolitical investment of Elizabeth Bishop's poetics. There is a tendency in Bishop scholarship to read her as an apolitical poet. I challenge this reading by providing an exegesis of her early affiliations with John Dewey's aesthetic-political philosophy and Darwinian evolution. I argue that Bishop's poetics in the thirties—shaped by the radicalism of the decade—sought to furnish a political ideal out of the scientific materialism of Darwinism and the aesthetic philosophy of John Dewey. I trace her philosophical and political affiliations and use them as a mode of inquiry into how these figures helped her to articulate a queer posthuman politics.
Costuming the Historical Figure: Hegel, Realism, and Fancy Dress
Authors: Valvo Nick 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Taking as a point of departure a costume the philosopher G. W. F. Hegel wore to a New Years' party in 1808, this paper considers the significance of clothing for theorizing a historicist criticism. Clothing serves Hegel as both a figure for superficiality and the accidental, as in the Philosophy of History, but also, in the Lectures on Aesthetics, a key mode of situating representations of individuals within historical time. Through this reading, clothing emerges as a symptom of Hegelian historiography in ways that highlight the mutual reliance of aesthetic and historical categories in thinking the category of the plastic, that is to say the spiritual or intellectual character of sensuous form.
“Pure Experience” and “Planes of Immanence”: From James to Deleuze
Authors: Duvernoy Russell J. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThe article explores the connection between James's “radical empiricism” and Deleuze's “transcendental empiricism” with a particular focus on the concept of “pure experience.” It argues for the substantial nature of this connection in terms of both philosophical motivations and formal innovations. Both thinkers are motivated to construct “better” empiricisms that do not complacently accept conventional conceptual representations as exhaustive of the real. Moreover, radical empiricism develops a latent critique of representational models of consciousness that is accomplished through a turn to events or processes as ontologically primary. These innovations are further developed by Deleuze in his treatment of the problem of individuation. Taken together, they help to specify the metaphysical reasons for the experimental pluralism that both James and Deleuze affirm, showing how these reasons are inextricable from the radical empiricist impulse to be maximally inclusive of modalities of real experience, including the felt, the vague, and the affective. Emphasizing the metaphysical dimensions of these alternative empiricisms brings into clearer focus the stakes of philosophical thought as part of the open-ended and ongoing relational processes by which the universe continues to unfold.
Gestures of the Feminine in Heidegger's “Die Sprache”
Authors: Ewegen S. Montgomery 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
This article explores the proliferation of “feminine” language in Heidegger's “Die Sprache.” Through a close reading of the text, I trace Heidegger's use of certain terms such as Austragen, gebären, and Schied to show the manner in which Heidegger's reading of Trakl's poem is implicitly guided by a certain understanding of the feminine. I ultimately argue that the ontological difference is understood by Heidegger in terms of the carrying to term and birth of the world that comes about through the intercourse between human beings and things.
Utopian Studies in the Czech and Slovak Republics
Authors: Veselá Pavla 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
The article sketches activities in the field of utopian studies in the Czech Republic (with some references to the Slovak context). It begins as a brief venture into Czech utopian literature and literary criticism. Subsequently, it provides examples of research and activities carried out in other disciplines, in order to illustrate that utopia continues to preoccupy a multitude of Czech and Slovak writers, critics, filmmakers, and architects, among others.
Utopian Studies in Ireland
Authors: Kelly Michael G. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis article discusses the development and current state of utopian studies in Ireland. It frames utopian studies in the Irish context as an evolving interdisciplinary space, facilitating both innovations within established scholarly discussions and dialogues beyond received boundaries—including that between academic scholarship and social critique. Without any pretention to exhaustiveness, it surveys a number of areas of teaching and research in Irish higher education that actively engage with the open paradigm of utopian studies and indicates a number of currently live questions.
Italian Research on Utopia and Utopianism
Authors: Fortunati Vita 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
This article on utopian studies in Italy starts by focusing on two collaborative projects: The Dictionary of Literary Utopias and the Histoire transnationale de l'utopie littéraire et de l'utopisme (Transnational History of Literary Utopias and Utopianism), coordinated by Vita Fortunati and Raymond Trousson, which involved scholars from Italy and worldwide. It further describes the interests, activities, and publications of two research centers—based in Bologna and Lecce—and of other research groups based in Italy. Finally, it discusses the future of utopian studies in Italy.
The “Czech-In” of Thomas More's Utopia
Authors: Veselá Pavla 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
The aim of the article is to discuss two Czech translations of Thomas More's Utopia—one from 1950 by Bohumil Ryba, the other from 1911(?) by Jiří Foustka—and to survey debates that Utopia generated in the Czech context. Proceeding nonchronologically, I introduce several recently published critical studies about More, including Helena Tampierová's Thomas More: Státník a teolog (Thomas More: Statesman and Theologian) and Bohumil Svoboda's Thomas More: Světec a utopista (Thomas More: Saint and Utopian). Ryba's translation is subsequently analyzed in the context of criticism from the socialist era (e.g., by Zdeněk Mlynář, Ladislav Štoll, and Petr Křivský); Foustka's translation is introduced with reference to debates about Utopia in the prewar and interwar years.
Dark Light: Utopia and the Question of Relative Surplus Population
Authors: Balasopoulos Antonis 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
This article addresses the question of the actuality of Sir Thomas More's Utopia by arguing for the centrality within More's text of the question of forcibly displaced and economically “surplused” populations. Drawing upon Gramsci, this article posits the fundamental role of a dialectic between population and traumatic disaster in More's text and the genre at large. After engaging with the most direct sign of this dialectic in Utopia, this article posits three interpretative advantages to reading it as a “fiction of population”: Such a reading, first, allows for an understanding of the logical consistency of the relationship between Hythlodaeus's critique of the Tudor penal system in the first book and the highly disciplinary character of the Utopian society envisioned in the second; second, helps us grasp the existence of a similar logical continuity between the denunciation of European geopolitical rapacity (book 1) and the advocacy of Utopian colonialism as rational and just (book 2); and finally, problematizes the interpretive binary that posits Utopia as either a progressive/emancipatory or a fundamentally conservative/repression-laden work. It concludes by returning to the paradoxical nature of Utopia's actuality, dwelling on its proximity to and distance from our own historical moment's confrontation with the question of surplused lives.
Limit Distribution of a Generalized Ornstein -- Uhlenbeck Process
Authors: Yurachkivsky Andriy 
Published: December 2016

Let an $\bR^d$-valued random process $\xi$ be the solution of an equation of the kind $\xi(t)=\xi(0)+\int_0^tA(u)\xi(u)\rd\iota(u)+S(t),$ where $\xi(0)$ is a random variable measurable w.\,r.\,t. some $\sigma$-algebra $\cF(0)$, $S$ is a random process with $\cF(0)$-conditionally independent increments, $\iota$ is a continuous numeral random process of locally bounded variation, and $A$ is a matrix-valued random process such that for any $t>0$ $\int_0^t\|A(s)\|\ |\rd\iota(s)|<\iy.$ Conditions guaranteing existence of the limiting, as $t\to\iy$, distribution of $\xi(t)$ are found. The characteristic function of this distribution is written explicitly.
Wat kunnen we doen aan de remmende werking van het mededingingsrecht op duurzaamheidsinitiatieven?

Wat kunnen we doen aan de remmende werking van het mededingingsrecht op duurzaamheidsinitiatieven?
Op grond van het (internationaal) maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen (IMVO) stimuleert de overheid ondernemingen in dertien Nederlandse sectoren om in sectorverband samen met de overheid en partijen uit het maatschappelijk middenveld afspraken te maken om complexe IMVO-risico’s in de keten aan te pakken. Dit is opmerkelijk, want op grond van het mededingingsrecht kan het maken van dergelijke afspraken – indien zij in strijd zijn met het kartelverbod – ondernemingen duur komen te staan. Om deze gecompliceerde situatie te verbeteren heeft de minister van Economische Zaken op 30 september 2016 de herziening van de Beleidsregel mededinging en duurzaamheid gepubliceerd. In dit artikel analyseert de auteur de effecten van de herziening en beoordeelt zij of het mededingingsrecht op deze manier meer ruimte geeft aan duurzaamheidsinitiatieven.
Effecten van een training cognitieve vaardigheden voor justitiabelen onderzocht

Published: December 2016

The added value of a cognitive skills training program for adult offenders
One of the most widely implemented behavioral programs for adult offenders in the Netherlands is a cognitive skills training called CoVa. The training is an adapted version of the Enhanced Thinking Skills program (ETS). This paper reports on the findings of several impact studies on the effectiveness of CoVa and ETS. Special attention is paid to a recent study on the measured change in cognitive skills before and after the training and a recent comparative recidivism study. The majority of studies on CoVa and ETS show positive indications of the effectiveness of the training programs. In the Netherlands the effect sizes are small, but some English studies on ETS reveal large effects. The paper discusses possible explanations for this outcome and examines the relevance of the research findings for the present version of the CoVa-training.
Outlawbikers voor de rechter: een analyse van rechterlijke uitspraken in de periode 1999-2015
Authors: Blokland Arjan , David Jeanot 
Published: December 2016

Outlaw bikers in court: an analysis of Dutch court decisions in the period 1999-2015
The fight against outlaw motorcycle gangs is high on the Dutch criminal justice agenda. Yet, much is unclear about the extent to which Dutch outlaw motorcycle clubs are involved in (organized) crime, and the exact role club membership plays in the crimes committed by individual members. This study analyses all court decisions between 1999 and 2015 that were made publicly available through the Rechtspraak.nl database to yield insight in the frequency and nature of (members of) outlaw motorcycle clubs’ court appearances. Results show that members of outlaw biker clubs are convicted for violence and drug offending. In a third of all incidents, fellow club members are among the co-offenders. Membership of an outlaw motorcycle club is often used to put pressure on victims. Non-members also make use of the violent track record of outlaw bikers.
Normbeelden als alternatief voor politiecultuur: de integere, neutrale en loyale supercop
Authors: Çankaya Sinan 
Published: December 2016

Norm images as an alternative for police culture: the ‘trustworthy’, ‘neutral’ and ‘loyal’ police officer
This article argues that the notion of norm images does more justice to the complexity of the police organization. The notion of ‘police culture’ is heavily criticized for its homogenizing tendencies, monolithic connotations and stereotypical and negative evaluation of police work. Norm images have an analytical value, because (1) the images are contextualized within and connected to the rule of law, (2) the images are sufficiently analytically flexible for a situational and relational interpretation of the cultural processes within the police organization, and (3) the notion theoretically presupposes the resistance strategies of social actors against the norm images. The article illustrates the theoretical value of norm images by focusing on the dominant images of the ‘trustworthy’, ‘neutral’ and ‘loyal’ police officer.
Reflexiones para una antropología de la parentalidad y la teoría del apego.
Authors: Lagarde Margarita 
Published: December 2016

John Bowlby ha propuesto al attachement (apego) como la función activa del aparato psíquico --durante todo el ciclo de desarrollo de la vida humana-- para generar vínculos satisfactorios, estables, de seguridad, protección y servicio mutuo, que determinan la identidad y la integración de la unicidad psicosocial por encima de la agresión y los impulsos de muerte. Por otra parte Levobici propone la necesidad de abordar la parentalidad como un fenómeno derivado del narcisismo primario y de la bidireccionalidad implicada en la construcción del hijo (padre) imaginario y la filiación dentro del conflicto edípico. Por su parte la antropología ha planteado la diversidad de modelos de familia y parentesco, y su necesidad de conceptualizarlos sin restringirse al modelo de la familia nuclear presupuesta en la cultura judeo cristiana. La teoría de la parentalidad actual surge como necesidad de integrar y sintetizar estas perspectivas.
AMBER AS A STRATEGIC RAW MATERIAL
Authors: Szamalek Krzysztof 
Published: December 2016

The importance and the role of minerals in the economy of a country or the world is manifested by the use of the following terms: scarce mineral, critical mineral, and strategic mineral. Validity of the raw material in the economic processes and the knowledge about the sources of its acquisition, access barriers, and the shaping of prices on the domestic and international market allow developing a strategy for action. The strategy must take into account the objective of the action, time horizon, kind of the instruments needed to apply, and scope of international cooperation. The importance of the raw material for the country is not only the volume of turnover and volume of production obtained thanks to its application. This also means its importance for historical, cultural and social reasons, which is the case with amber. The author presents arguments in favour of both considering amber in Poland as a raw material of strategic importance and the necessity for introducing effective instruments to ensure its further extraction and use.
« Une école où tu réapprends à être fier de ce que tu es… »
Authors: Dufour Emanuelle 
Published: December 2016

Depuis son ouverture en 2011 à Odanak, l’Institut collégial Kiuna constitue le seul établissement postsecondaire conçu par et pour les Premières Nations du Québec. Il s’inscrit dans la ligne directe de son prédécesseur, le Collège Manitou de La Macaza (1973-1976) et des Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU) américains en matière de sécurité et de continuité culturelles. Or, l’introduction de perspectives autochtones et de cursus adaptés au sein du système d’éducation provincial pose un certain nombre de défis conceptuels et logistiques. L’établissement postsecondaire peut-il s’avérer un environnement favorable au développement identitaire des étudiants autochtones ? L’adaptation de programmes postsecondaires peut-elle contribuer à la persévérance et à la réussite des étudiants des Premières Nations ? Cet article vise à analyser les dispositifs inscrits au sein du projet pédagogique du programme Sciences humaines – Premières Nations de l’Institution Kiuna. À la lumière des témoignages d’étudiants, de diplômés et de professionnels autochtones recueillis entre 2013 et 2015, il tend à démontrer que l’adaptation de cursus et de services postsecondaires contribue à la sécurité culturelle, à l’enracinement identitaire et, donc, à la persévérance scolaire d’étudiants des Premières Nations.
Suppressing breakers with polar oil films: Using an epic sea rescue to model wave energy budgets
Authors: Cox Charles S. , Zhang Xin , Duda Timothy F. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractOil has been used to still stormy seas for centuries, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we examine the processes by using quantitative information from a remarkable 1883 sea rescue where oil was used to reduce large breakers during a storm. Modeling of the oil film's extent and waves under the film suggests that large breakers were suppressed by a reduction of wind energy input. Modification of surface roughness by the film is hypothesized to alter the wind profile above the sea and the energy flow. The results are central to understanding air‐sea momentum exchange, including its role in such processes as cyclone growth and storm surge, although they address only one aspect of the complex problem of wind interaction with the ocean surface.
Photoredox Catalysis in Organophosphorus Chemistry
Authors: Luo Kai , Yang Wen‐Chao , Wu Lei 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThe vernal blooming of green chemistry has contributed to the development of visible light catalysis. Active radical species are generated from catalytic amounts of photosensitizers, such as transition‐metal complexes and organic dyes, upon visible light irradiation. Stoichiometric amounts of oxidants, reductants, and radical initiators are avoided in most cases. Thus, reactions proceed under milder conditions with a broader functional group tolerance than found by other methods. Photoredox catalysis has been used to form C−C and C−X (X=O, N, and S) bonds but is comparably underdeveloped in organophosphorus chemistry. Herein, we summarize advances in photoredox catalysis that involve organophosphorus chemistry. The synthesis of organophosphorus compounds by photoredox catalysis, transition‐metal complex/photoredox dual catalytic systems, and photoredox catalysis with phosphorus organocatalysts are discussed. The shortcomings and possible future trends of this chemistry are also presented.
Metal‐Free Visible‐Light‐Induced Trifluoromethylation Reactions

Published: December 2016

AbstractVisible‐light‐induced trifluoromethylation reactions of alkenes with CF3I in the presence of Nile red, which acted as an organic photosensitizer, have been developed. Compared to trifluoromethylations with transition‐metal‐based photosensitizers like Ru and Ir complexes, the use of Nile red made this process more environmentally benign, not only by avoiding issues associated with metal residues, but also by allowing the use of low‐energy photons (yellow LEDs) owing to its light absorbance at long wavelengths (440–600 nm). In the process, trifluoromethylated alkene and trifluoromethylated iodoalkane products were selectively synthesized by controlling the reaction conditions. In particular, the base employed significantly affected the selectivity of the process. The iodotrifluoromethylation of alkynes and the trifluoromethylation of N‐heterocycles also proceeded well using Nile red. Furthermore, it was found that a .CF3 radical could be generated in the absence of Nile red under a higher photon energy by visible‐light‐induced electron transfer between tertiary amines and CF3I, despite the lower reactivity.
Sinusitis in patients on tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors
Authors: Wang Cynthia S. , Honeybrook Adam , Chapurin Nikita , Keswani Anjeni , Jang David W. 
Published: December 2016

BackgroundTumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) inhibitors have revolutionized treatment of many inflammatory diseases. Sinusitis after initiation of TNF‐α inhibitors has been observed, but has not been well described in the literature. We aim to characterize the clinical features of sinusitis in patients on anti‐TNF‐α therapy.MethodsThis is a retrospective chart review of 28 patients on a TNF‐α inhibitor diagnosed with sinusitis by otolaryngologists at Duke University. Patient demographics, sinusitis characteristics, and treatment course were studied by chart review.ResultsThe prevalence of sinusitis diagnosed and treated by an otolaryngologist was less than 1%. Of the 28 patients studied, 12 (42.9%) had a history of preexisting sinusitis and 16 (57.1%) had new‐onset sinusitis. 71.4% were diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis without polyps (CRSsNP), with disease mainly involving the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. No patients had major extrasinus complications or required hospital admission or intravenous (IV) antibiotics. 35.7% (n = 10), including 44% (7/16) of new‐onset patients required a surgical intervention after initiating anti‐TNF therapy. 14.3% (n = 4) of the cohort had improvement in sinonasal symptoms after stopping, changing, or holding doses of the TNF‐α inhibitor.ConclusionAnti‐TNF‐α therapy can be associated with new‐onset sinusitis, mainly CRSsNP. Overall, the percentage of patients on a TNF‐α inhibitor seeking consultation from an otolaryngologist is low. While some patients with new‐onset sinusitis will require surgery, modification of anti‐TNF‐α therapy should be considered as an option in the medical management of these patients.
