Images des Juifs à Vézelay : entre condamnation et conversion
Creators: name: Huys, Viviane
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2013

description: The status granted to the Jews is one of the most important issues in the iconographic program of the ancient abbey church Sainte-Marie-Madeleine to Vézelay. This paper shows that, in a singular way, the sculptured images at this abbey stage a redeeming conception of the people of Israel in the same way as they do of all those considered to be unfaithful in early twelfth-century Western Christianity. Indeed, it is the Western conception of Otherness that turns non-Christians into non-believers. Thus, how could the Jews envisage their redemption while at the same time being held to account for their “faults” by Christians? At Vézelay, under the likely influence of Pierre de Montboissier, also known as “The Venerable,” the sheer ambivalence of the Romanesque images is reflected in the stonework. If the communal dimension characterizes the Middle Ages, when oratores, laboratores, and bellatores constituted three groups that assured the cohesion of medieval society, individuality is not absent from social interaction. This explains why the future abbot of Cluny, on inviting the Jews along with the other peoples of the Earth, asserts that the Universal Church will guarantee their redemption if they undertake their conversion like all other pagans. As this paper reveals, there are many clues at Vézelay that bear witness to this oscillation between condemnation and conversion. Le statut accordé aux Juifs constitue l’un des plus importants enjeux du programme iconographique de l’ancienne abbatiale Sainte-Marie-Madeleine à Vézelay. Nous montrerons que, de façon singulière, les images sculptées mettent en scène une conception rédemptrice du peuple d’Israël au même titre que tous ceux que le monde chrétien occidental du début du XIIe siècle jugeait comme des infidèles. En effet, en Occident, c’est alors une conception de l’altérité qui place l’étrangeté dans tout ce qui n’est pas chrétien. Ainsi, comment les Juifs peuvent-ils à la fois envisager leur Salut et dans le même temps être comptables des « fautes » que selon le christianisme, ils ont commises ? C’est toute l’ambivalence des images romanes qui est mise au service d’un propos qui, à Vézelay, sous l’influence probable de Pierre de Montboissier, dit « Le Vénérable », prend forme dans la pierre. Si la dimension communautaire fait la force du Moyen Âge, lorsque oratores, laboratores et bellatores constituaient les trois groupes assurant la cohésion de la société médiévale, l’individualité n’est pour autant pas absente du jeu social. C’est la raison pour laquelle, le futur abbé de Cluny, invitant les Juifs aux côtés des autres peuples de la Terre, explique que l’Eglise Universelle assurera leur rédemption s’ils entreprennent leur conversion comme tous les païens. Les indices sont nombreux à Vézelay montrant cette oscillation entre condamnation et conversion.

description: We consider interactive learning and covering problems, in a setting where actions may incur different costs, depending on the response to the action. We propose a natural greedy algorithm for response-dependent costs. We bound the approximation factor of this greedy algorithm in active learning settings as well as in the general setting. We show that a different property of the cost function controls the approximation factor in each of these scenarios. We further show that in both settings, the approximation factor of this greedy algorithm is near-optimal among all greedy algorithms. Experiments demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm in the response-dependent cost setting.

description: Model predictive control (MPC) anticipates future events to take appropriate control actions. Nonlinear MPC (NMPC) deals with nonlinear models and/or constraints. A Continuation/GMRES Method for NMPC, suggested by T. Ohtsuka in 2004, uses the GMRES iterative algorithm to solve a forward difference approximation $Ax=b$ of the original NMPC equations on every time step. We have previously proposed accelerating the GMRES and MINRES convergence by preconditioning the coefficient matrix $A$. We now suggest simplifying the construction of the preconditioner, by approximately solving a forward recursion for the state and a backward recursion for the costate, or simply reusing previously computed solutions.

Eugen_ia. Oder: Im Netz der Ähnlichkeiten. Über Formen des visuellen Othering im 12. Jahrhundert

description: Eugen_ia. Or: The Netting of Similarities About Forms of Visual Othering in the 12th Century Recent research shows that 12th-century Christian art did not use exclusive features to designate Jews, Muslims, Africans, or heretics. In pictorial representations dating from that period, the others share certain physiognomic and iconographic features. However, this ambiguity indicates not only a deficiency, namely, the lacking development of the discriminatory codes, but it can also be interpreted as part of a semiotic practice in which a rigid policy of exclusion and the construction of the enemy did not depend on a denotative formalization of certain physical properties. This paper traces some of the principles of naming and evaluating other(s) (as against the male Christian) in 12th-century art. The starting points for this discussion are on the one hand claims about the production of meaning in that period and on the other hand the representation of Eugenia of Alexandria on a nave capital in the abbey church of Vézelay, which combines both male- and female-connotated characteristics. Wie neuere Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, wurden in der christlichen Kunst des 12. Jahrhundert noch keine exklusiven Merkmale für die Bezeichnung von Jüd_innen, Muslim_innen, Afrikaner_innen oder Häretiker_innen verwendet. In bildlichen Darstellungen teilen die Anderen bestimmte physiognomische und ikonographische Züge. Doch lässt sich diese Ambiguität nicht nur als Indiz eines Mangels beschreiben, nämlich des niedrigen Entwicklungsstandes jenes diskriminierenden Codes. Sie kann auch als Teil einer semiotischen Praxis gedeutet werden, in der eine rigide Ausgrenzungspolitik und Feindbildkonstruktion nicht auf die denotative Festschreibung bestimmter physischen Eigenschaften angewiesen ist. In diesem Artikel werde ich einige der Prinzipien der Benennung und Bewertung der/des Anderen (gegenüber dem männlichen Christen) in der Visualisierungspraxis der 12. Jahrhunderts nachzeichnen. Ausgangspunkte sind dabei einerseits Thesen zur Sinnproduktion in jener Zeit und andererseits die Darstellung der Eugenia von Alexandria an einem Langhauskapitell der Abteikirche von Vézelay, bei der weiblich und männlich konnotierte Merkmale kombiniert wurden.

description: We observe that local embedding problems for certain Hardy and Bergman spaces of Dirichlet series are equivalent to boundedness of a class of composition operators. Following this, we perform a careful study of such composition operators generated by polynomial symbols $φ$ on a scale of Bergman--type Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{D}_α$. We investigate the optimal $β$ such that the composition operator $\mathcal{C}_φ$ maps $\mathcal{D}_α$ boundedly into $\mathcal{D}_β$. We also prove a new embedding theorem for the non-Hilbertian Hardy space $\mathcal H^p$ into a Bergman space in the half-plane and use it to consider composition operators generated by polynomial symbols on $\mathcal{H}^p$, finding the first non-trivial results of this type. The embedding also yields a new result for the functional associated to the multiplicative Hilbert matrix.

description: The Boris algorithm for integrating charged particle trajectories in electric and magnetic fields is popular due to its simple implementation, rapid iteration, and observed long-term numerical fidelity. The underlying cause of this long-term fidelity has become a matter of controversy, with one article claiming the method to be symplectic [S. D. Webb, J. Comput. Phys. 270 (2014) 570], and others claiming the method to be volume preserving but not symplectic [e.g. H. Qin et al., Phys. Plasmas 20 (2013) 084503]. To resolve the discrepancy, this letter leverages a discrete Helmholtz condition to demonstrate that no variational formulation of the Boris algorithm exists, indicating that the long-term fidelity should be attributed to the volume-preserving properties of the algorithm.
An Introduction to the Weak Gravity Conjecture

description: The Weak Gravity Conjecture holds that gravity must be the weakest force. This is true of the familiar forces in our own universe -- electromagnetism, for instance, is many orders of magnitude stronger than gravity. But the bold claim of the Weak Gravity Conjecture is that this statement is true, not only for electromagnetism in our universe, but for any similar force in any consistent universe governed by quantum mechanics. In this brief introduction, aimed at advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students, we elaborate on the precise definition of the Weak Gravity Conjecture, the evidence for it, and some of the remarkable implications of it. We explain how the Weak Gravity Conjecture may play a role in bridging the gulf between the formal mathematics of string theory and the real-world observations of particle physics and cosmology.

description: Let $X=G/K$ be a higher rank symmetric space of non-compact type, where $G$ is the connected component of the isometry group of $X$. We define the splitting rank of $X$, denoted by $\text{srk}(X)$, to be the maximal dimension of a totally geodesic submanifold $Y\subset X$ which splits off an isometric $\mathbb R$-factor. We compute explicitly the splitting rank for each irreducible symmetric space. For an arbitrary (not necessarily irreducible) symmetric space, we show that the comparison map $η:H^{*}_{c,b}(G,\mathbb{R})\rightarrow H^{*}_c(G,\mathbb{R})$ is surjective in degrees $*\geq \text{srk}(X)+2$, provided $X$ has no small direct factors.

description: Magneto-optical Kerr effect, normally found in magnetic materials with nonzero magnetization such as ferromagnets and ferrimagnets, has been known for more than a century. Here, using first-principles density functional theory, we demonstrate large magneto-optical Kerr effect in high temperature noncollinear antiferromagnets Mn$_{3}X$ ($X$ = Rh, Ir, or Pt), in contrast to usual wisdom. The calculated Kerr rotation angles are large, being comparable to that of transition metal magnets such as bcc Fe. The large Kerr rotation angles and ellipticities are found to originate from the lifting of the band double-degeneracy due to the absence of spatial symmetry in the Mn$_{3}X$ noncollinear antiferromagnets which together with the time-reversal symmetry would preserve the Kramers theorem. Our results indicate that Mn$_{3}X$ would provide a rare material platform for exploration of subtle magneto-optical phenomena in noncollinear magnetic materials without net magnetization.

description: We present the results of SiO (2-1) and SO2 (12-13) line observations of Sgr B2(N) made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at an angular resolution of ~2arcsec. Our analysis of the SiO and SO2 line emission reveals a bipolar molecular outflow in an east-west direction whose driving source is located at K2. In addition, SO2 line core shows a north-south velocity gradient most probably indicating a hot core of molecular gas rotating around K2. Fractional abundances of SO2 and SiO (X(SO2) and X(SiO), respectively) in the outflowing molecular gas are derived from comparisons with the C18O emission. Assuming an excitation temperature of 100+-50 K, we calculate X(SO2) = 2.3X10^-8 and X(SiO) = 1.2X10^-9. The outflow from SgrB2(N) K2 is characterized as a young (5X10^3yr) and massive (~2000Msun), but moderately collimated (~60deg) outflow. We also report a possible detection of the SiO (v=2, J=2-1) maser emission from the position of K2. If confirmed, it would make Sgr B2(N) the 4th star forming region associated with SiO masers.

Reforming the welfare state, the case of part-time work in Sweden and France
Creators: name: Partridge, Diana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Countries have different approaches to part-time work in terms of organization of working hours, associated benefits, wages and the status of workers. Over the last few decades, different European member states have also had varying degrees of success at passing off part-time work as an acceptable form of employment to their citizens. In this paper I compare the reform of part-time work and non-standard work arrangements in Sweden and France. I explain that political decision-makers success or failure to implement part-time and temporary work reform is due to national differences in four areas: welfare state regimes; politics, specifically social partners and political power distribution; the organization of the female labor force; and political discourses.

description: We present a tunnel spectroscopy study of single PbS Quantum Dots (QDs) as function of temperature and gate voltage. Three distinct signatures of strong electron-phonon coupling are observed in the Electron Tunneling Spectrum (ETS) of these QDs. In the shell-filling regime, the $8\times$ degeneracy of the electronic levels is lifted by the Coulomb interactions and allows the observation of phonon sub-bands that result from the emission of optical phonons. At low bias, a gap is observed in the ETS that cannot be closed with the gate voltage, which is a distinguishing feature of the Franck-Condon (FC) blockade. From the data, a Huang-Rhys factor in the range $S\sim 1.7 - 2.5$ is obtained. Finally, in the shell tunneling regime, the optical phonons appear in the inelastic ETS $d^2I/dV^2$.

description: We apply the generator coordinate method (GCM) to single-$Λ$ hypernuclei in order to discuss the spectra of hypernuclear low-lying states. To this end, we use the same relativistic point-coupling energy functional both for the mean-field and the beyond-mean-field calculations. This relativistic GCM approach provides a unified description of low-lying states in ordinary nuclei and in hypernuclei, and is thus suitable for studying the $Λ$ impurity effect. We carry out an illustrative calculation for the low-lying spectrum of $^{21}_Λ$Ne, in which the interplay between the hypernuclear collective excitations and the single-particle excitations of the unpaired $Λ$ hyperon is taken into account in a full microscopic manner.

description: We use a complete sample of 211 nearby (z<0.08) dwarf (10^8 MSun < Mstar < 10^9.5 Msun) galaxies in low-density environments, to study their structural properties: effective radii (R_e), effective surface brightnesses (mu_e) and colour gradients. We explore these properties as a function of stellar mass and the three principal dwarf morphological types identified in a companion paper (Lazar et al.) -- early-type galaxies (ETGs), late-type galaxies (LTGs) and featureless systems. The median R_e of LTGs and featureless galaxies are factors of ~2 and ~1.2 larger than the ETGs. While the median mu_e of the ETGs and LTGs is similar, the featureless class is ~1 mag arcsec^-2 fainter. Although they have similar median R_e, the featureless and ETG classes differ significantly in their median mu_e, suggesting that their evolution is different and that the featureless galaxies are not a subset of the ETGs. While massive ETGs typically exhibit negative or flat colour gradients, dwarf ETGs generally show positive colour gradients (bluer centres). The growth of ETGs therefore changes from being `outside-in' to `inside-out' as we move from the dwarf to the massive regime. The colour gradients of dwarf and massive LTGs are, however, similar. Around 46 per cent of dwarf ETGs show prominent, visually-identifiable blue cores which extend out to ~1.5 R_e. Finally, compared to their non-interacting counterparts, interacting dwarfs are larger, bluer at all radii and exhibit similar median mu_e, indicating that interactions typically enhance star formation across the entire galaxy.

Year: 2013

description: In this issue, eight scholars from five different countries provide multifaceted and multilingual insights into the production of Otherness in the art and literature of the High Middle Ages. The themes discussed include the principles of visual Othering in the 12th century (Silke Büttner), the representation of Muslims on the facades of Romanesque churches in France and Spain (Inés Monteira Arias), the visualization of Jews at the abbey church of Vézelay (Vivien Huys) and on the Ebstorf map (Asa Mittman), the changing representations of armed women (Madeline Caviness), and the permeability of the boundaries of the “human” in Marie de France’s Eliduc (Anna Klosowska). The review section complements and extends these insights with a discussion of an anthology on the representation of gender and sexuality in medieval Europe (Anja Rathmann-Lutz) and of a handbook on the meanings of the monstrous from antiquity to the present (Gunnar Mikosch). The artistic contribution to this issue is a lighting object entitled desire (Sigrid Sandmann). Acht Wissenschaftler_innen aus fünf Ländern geben in diesem Themenheft facettenreich und vielsprachig Einblicke in die Produktion des/der Anderen in der europäischen Kunst und Literatur des Hochmittelalters. Thematisiert werden die Prinzipien des visuellen Othering im 12.

The correlation between blood pressure and postoperative pain in endodontic patients
Creators: name: King, James Wayne, II
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Previous studies indicate that hypertension is correlated with diminished sensitivity to experimental pain. This prospective observational study was designed to test the hypothesis that resting arterial blood pressure is inversely correlated to decreased postoperative pain following endodontic therapy. Written informed consent was obtained from patients seeking treatment for their teeth diagnosed with pulpal necrosis and periradicular periodontitis. Preoperative blood pressure was recorded and subjects rated their pre-operative pain intensity using a 100mm visual analog scale. Standardized non-surgical root canal therapy was initiated. Subjects were given a pain diary in which they recorded their post-operative pain and analgesic intake over 7 days. After controlling for pre-operative pain, a significant correlation was noted between Day 1 postoperative pain and preoperative systolic blood pressure (p<.03) and preoperative pulse pressure (p<.005). This study provides support for a functional interaction between the cardiovascular and pain regulatory systems.
Long-time averaged dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a bichromatic optical lattice with external harmonic confinement

description: The dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate are examined numerically in the presence of a one-dimensional bichromatic optical lattice with external harmonic confinement. The condensate is excited by a focusing red laser. For this purpose, the time-dependent Gross Pitaevskii equation is solved using the Crank Nicolson method in real time. Two realizations of the optical lattice are considered, one with a rational and the other with an irrational ratio of the two constituting wave lengths. For a weak bichromatic optical lattice, the long-time averaged physical observables of the condensate respond only very weakly (or not at all) to changes in the secondary optical lattice depth. However, for a much larger strength of the latter optical lattice, the response is stronger. It is found that qualitatively there is no difference between the dynamics of the condensate resulting from the use of a rational or irrational ratio of the optical lattice wavelengths since the external harmonic trap washes it out. It is further found that in the presence of an external harmonic trap, the bichromatic optical lattice acts in favor of superflow.

description: Research consistently shows that people with SAD experience social anhedonia, but less is known about whether they experience greater or lesser desire for social connection. This likely has to do with a mix of avoidant and approach motivation related to connection. It is also unclear whether the motivation to connect with new or existing relationship may relate to social anxiety. This two-study project seeks to replicate and extend the results of Poole et al. (2017) showing that the combination of shyness (anxious pre-occupation with self combined with negative self-evaluation and social inhibition) and high sociability is associated with the greatest social anxiety symptoms. This form of “conflicted shyness” is hypothesized to result from an approach-avoidance conflict that serves as a core motivational underpinning of the development of SAD. Participants for both studies will be recruited as part of project MESA and recruited using the website MTurk. Study one uses a cross-sectional survey design. Study two uses a 14-day daily diary design in which participants report nightly on one social interaction experienced during their day.

description: In this study, we propose an automatic learning method for variables selection based on Lasso in epidemiology context. One of the aim of this approach is to overcome the pretreatment of experts in medicine and epidemiology on collected data. These pretreatment consist in recoding some variables and to choose some interactions based on expertise. The approach proposed uses all available explanatory variables without treatment and generate automatically all interactions between them. This lead to high dimension. We use Lasso, one of the robust methods of variable selection in high dimension. To avoid over fitting a two levels cross-validation is used. Because the target variable is account variable and the lasso estimators are biased, variables selected by lasso are debiased by a GLM and used to predict the distribution of the main vector of malaria which is Anopheles. Results show that only few climatic and environmental variables are the mains factors associated to the malaria risk exposure.

description: Reclaim (Intervening against published Press Photos) As part of their participative community project “Hotel Gelem”, artists Christoph Wachter and Mathias Jud started a collaboration with Roma families in Berlin. The families were invited to design the edition for this FKW issue. “Reclaim” explores collective authorship as a means of protection against vulnerability and as a strategy to intervene into extrinsic images of self as they are determined by hegemonic representational politics and visual practices.

description: Secureless. Precariousness, the Arts and Gender Relationships What are the possibilities of resistance against the acute precariousness of life? What needs to be done right now? How can we think autonomy and freedom if they are no longer to be understood as concepts exclusively evoking dissident practices of life, but work within the training procedures of neoliberal individual responsibility. How can the critique of an economy of individual self-optimization be made productive in order to share, co-share, and communicate an ethical responsibility for the fundamental securelessness of life, of all our lives? The issue is based on papers that were given at the symposium Sicherheitslos. Prekarisierung, die Künste und ihre Geschlechterverhältnisse held at Berlin University of the Arts in October 2011, initiated by Linda Hentschel and organized together with Miriam Dreysse and Kerstin Brandes. Taking up the ongoing debates in the arts, in visual culture, theatre and media studies, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and gender studies, it explored how systems of representation re/present, structure and stabilize precariousness, or rather: the precarity of life, but also and simultaneously enable interventions.

Lust am Prekären? Gefallen(d)e Frauen

description: Joyful Precariousness? Pleasing Fallen Women In the summer of 2011, two events concerning the rights of women to uninhibitedly expose their bodies and put their sex appeal on show received wide coverage in German public media. Thousands of “slutwalkers” walked the streets of metropolises all over the world to protest against sexual harassment and to assert the right of women to dress or undress as they please. Also in 2011, members of the German national women soccer team posed for sexually explicit photographs to be published in the July issue of Playboy magazine. In both instances, different as they were, the women tried to empower themselves through images of their bodies in order to frustrate or destabilize misogynist stereotypes as well as potential denunciations and infringements resulting from these. However, for a woman to offer her more or less naked body for sexually enticing images is a precarious strategy that runs the risk of corroborating what it seeks to challenge. Apparently, the female body itself is still a spectacle of precariousness, of semantic ambiguity as to whose body is being depicted for whom to see, decipher, and deal with, and to what end. Clear-cut interpretations appear to be preferred, though, by the majority now and then, particularly in the wake of the historical prevalence of the bourgeoisie. Looking at selected art works from the Early Modern period, which were blithely assumed to be portraits of mistresses or courtesans, reveals that ambiguous female nakedness tends to be hard to accept. The traditional connection of Biblical sin with enticing female nakedness makes for prejudiced images of mistresses and prostitutes that do not have much to do with the historical reality of the women who actually engaged in these precarious social roles and who often did not have the means to take care of their own imagery and personal memory. Sexually explicit images of female bodies thus have a long-standing tradition of being linked to deviancy, social discrimination, and moral denunciation directed at particular role models but also at women in general. Contemporary inventions of mass media visual culture – be it a slut or a playmate – will hardly lead out of this dead end.

Common Ground. HOTEL GELEM partizipatives Kunstprojekt – kollektive Prozesse und eigene Praxen im Prekären

description: Common Ground. The participatory Art project HOTEL GELEM – collective processes and own practices in precarious living conditions Due to the culture capitalistic principle, artistic, creative work no longer brings a position of personal independence or a development of critical faculties. Creative capabilities are nowadays a general skill that matters for all different kinds of occupations. At the same time, the success of every creative undertaking is reduced to its commercial success. Art could do more. The project HOTEL GELEM leads us to a fundamental understanding how the given preconditions and the social expectations shape our specific opportunities for participation and expression. Many Roma families suffer from expulsion and exclusion, and try to survive in the outmost precarious living conditions on the fringes of our society. Together with these families, HOTEL GELEM attempts to break the dreadful vicious circle of stigmatization and poverty. The potential of the artistic practice lays in the possibility of overcoming predetermined views.

description: The first observations by a worldwide network of advanced interferometric gravitational wave detectors offer a unique opportunity for the astronomical community. At design sensitivity, these facilities will be able to detect coalescing binary neutron stars to distances approaching 400 Mpc, and neutron star-black hole systems to 1 Gpc. Both of these sources are associated with gamma ray bursts which are known to emit across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Gravitational wave detections provide the opportunity for "multi-messenger" observations, combining gravitational wave with electromagnetic, cosmic ray or neutrino observations. This review provides an overview of how Australian astronomical facilities and collaborations with the gravitational wave community can contribute to this new era of discovery, via contemporaneous follow-up observations from the radio to the optical and high energy. We discuss some of the frontier discoveries that will be made possible when this new window to the Universe is opened.

description: We characterize, for the first time, the average extended emission in multiple lines ([OII], [OIII], and Hbeta) around a statistical sample of 560 galaxies at z~0.25-0.85. By stacking the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) 3D data from two large surveys, the MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies (MAGG) and the MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF), we detect significant [OII] emission out to ~40 kpc, while [OIII] and Hbeta emission is detected out to ~30 kpc. Via comparisons with the nearby average stellar continuum emission, we find that the line emission at 20-30 kpc likely arises from the disk-halo interface. Combining our results with that of our previous study at z~1, we find that the average [OII] surface brightness increases independently with redshift over z~0.4-1.3 and with stellar mass over M* ~10^{6-12} Msun, which is likely driven by the star formation rate as well as the physical conditions of the gas. By comparing the observed line fluxes with photoionization models, we find that the ionization parameter declines with distance, going from log q (cm/s) ~7.7 at <=5 kpc to ~7.3 at 20-30 kpc, which reflects a weaker radiation field in the outer regions of galaxies. The gas-phase metallicity shows no significant variation over 30 kpc, with a metallicity gradient of ~0.003 dex/kpc, which indicates an efficient mixing of metals on these scales. Alternatively, there could be a significant contribution from shocks and diffuse ionized gas to the line emission in the outer regions.

Claims und Challenges: Mediale Normalisierungspolitik und Prekarität in Casting-Formaten

description: Karin Bruns Claims and Challenges: Media Normalisation Policies and Precarity in Casting Formats This paper explores the role of new media formats, including living history, scripted reality and casting shows, within the neoliberal transformation of the economy and society. It reveals how casting shows in particular represent a reflex to ongoing economic precarisation and concomitant fears of marginalisation. Structurally, such shows operate as production sites precisely for the flexible, self-normalising subject constantly striving for self-optimisation and who is imagined as the new, ideal-type employee of the future. While interdependent categories such as gender, ethnicity, age, and sexuality are generally crucially important for such formats, top model shows in particular are purposefully targeted at promoting “female career models.”

Identität[s]_Kritik beanspruchen – no risk no pun

Year: 2012

description: Claiming Identity Critique – No Risk No Pun Starting from the question how – beyond neoliberal imperatives of optimization and inflationary how-to books – precariousness could possibly be made productive, the article offers argumentative grounds for a critique of hegemonic constructions of reality as a redefinition of the parameters of intelligibility. The text focuses on the moments of tension between a claim to and a critique of identity; moments of tension which, as a considerable challenge, represent a pivotal starting point, not least for feminist-antiracist-queer representational critique to formulate critical subject positions. Based on linking a revised notion of mediality with that of the political, and analyzing the political-representational practices of current protest movements, the article develops theoretical arguments for making productive as an epistemic-political potential the moments of tension represented by the paradoxical formulation of an anti-identitarian position while at the same time maintaining this tension as an open and necessarily antagonistic space for negotiations.

Metabolic effects of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone on Complex I and Complex II respiration in isolated rat mitochondria

description: Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are believed to exert their antidiabetic effect through a variety of pathways and mechanisms, some of which relate to the toxic properties of these drugs. Research has proven that TZDs impair cell respiration in vitro and that they have an affect on oxidative stress within the cell. This paper investigates the role of mitochondria in rosiglitazone and pioglitazone action with respect to Complexes I and II of the respiratory chain. Inhibition of Complex I was confirmed via the reduced efficiency of mitochondrial respiration at increasing levels of drug concentration, with malate/glutamate as an energizing substrate, and in relation to Complex I (energized by succinate). Additionally, a decrease in the production of extra-mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected, particularly on exposure to rosiglitazone, possibly correlating with a lower level of cytotoxicity in comparison to pioglitazone.
