description: We report the discovery of a new gravitational lens system from the CLASS survey, CLASS B0631+519. VLA, MERLIN and VLBA observations show a doubly-imaged radio core, a doubly-imaged lobe and a second lobe that is probably quadruply-imaged. The maximum image separation is 1.16 arcseconds. The VLBA resolves the most magnified image of the flat-spectrum radio core into a number of sub-components spread across approximately 20 milli-arcseconds. Optical and near-infrared imaging with the ACS and NICMOS cameras on the HST show that there are two galaxies along the line of sight to the lensed source, as was previously discovered by optical spectroscopy. The nearer galaxy at z=0.0896 is a small blue irregular, while the more distant galaxy at z=0.6196 is an elliptical type and appears to contribute most of the lensing effect. The host galaxy of the lensed source is visible in NICMOS imaging as a set of arcs that form an almost complete Einstein ring. Mass modelling using non-parametric techniques can reproduce the ring and indicates that the irregular galaxy has a (localised) effect on the flux density distribution in the Einstein ring at the 5-10% level.

description: In parallel to their overwhelming success across NLP tasks, language ability of deep Transformer networks, pretrained via language modeling (LM) objectives has undergone extensive scrutiny. While probing revealed that these models encode a range of syntactic and semantic properties of a language, they are still prone to fall back on superficial cues and simple heuristics to solve downstream tasks, rather than leverage deeper linguistic knowledge. In this paper, we target one such area of their deficiency, verbal reasoning. We investigate whether injecting explicit information on verbs' semantic-syntactic behaviour improves the performance of LM-pretrained Transformers in event extraction tasks -- downstream tasks for which accurate verb processing is paramount. Concretely, we impart the verb knowledge from curated lexical resources into dedicated adapter modules (dubbed verb adapters), allowing it to complement, in downstream tasks, the language knowledge obtained during LM-pretraining. We first demonstrate that injecting verb knowledge leads to performance gains in English event extraction. We then explore the utility of verb adapters for event extraction in other languages: we investigate (1) zero-shot language transfer with multilingual Transformers as well as (2) transfer via (noisy automatic) translation of English verb-based lexical constraints. Our results show that the benefits of verb knowledge injection indeed extend to other languages, even when verb adapters are trained on noisily translated constraints.

Sport, power, and architecture: the Vancouver velodrome
Creators: name: Carel, Sonya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: My thesis began with an investigation into the history of the stadium and a questioning of how the stadium has been influenced and shaped by different power structures throughout time. From this foundation of research I developed a design for The Vancouver Velodrome. The site chosen for The Vancouver Velodrome is located on the North slope of Burnaby Mountain in Vancouver and is currently being used as a concrete factory. The site is bordered on the south by the Barnet Highway and to the north by a cliff which leads down to railway lines that run along the shore of the Burrard Inlet. The geographical location of the site from the natural slope separates it from the mountain and marks it as an isolated site. It was my desire then to re-establish a sense of unity within the landscape. The velodrome was not to be an isolated object, to be held out as separated from the landscape. Rather, it was to act as a connector which joins together the mountain, the site, and the ocean. Unlike the stadium precedents which were often founded upon ideological concerns, the velodrome was founded by the sense of power dictated by its environs, rather than that imposed on it by other structures. The velodrome design was therefore influenced by the landscape, the more significant elements included a 100 ft. highway retaining wall, a bowllike depression, and a large retaining wall on the north side of the site which supported the cliff face. The highway retaining wall was used to create an entry procession. The depression contained nicely the large space required and the banked contours then helped to brace the bleachers and embraced the building in general. The northern wall dictated the long axis for the velodrome and the bridge which connected it to the mountain slope, which also served to support the roof structure. The overall design manifests the notion of a building not 'within' the landscape but rather one which 'is' part of the landscape; on which people traverse and in which people inhabit.

description: BACKGROUND: Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways characterized by recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm. Asthma can NOt be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled. One of the recommended methods is a regular aerobic exercise which can help reduce asthma symptoms by improving lungs muscle strength and boosting your immune system allowing an easier controlling of the disease. Recent studies have demonstrated better effectiveness of aerobic threshold (AeT) based exercise on ventilatory efficiency parameters such as ventilatory equivalent for oxygen (VE/VO2) and maximal oxygen values (VO2max expressed in mL•kg--¹•min-¹) at AeT in different subjects. However, no studies have directly examined the prescription of AeT based exercise on asthma treatment. Therefore, this study examined the efficiency of individualized AeT based exercise when compared with non-controlled exercise on ventilatory efficiency parameters in male asthma patients. METHODS: Nine males with a demonstrated history of asthma (42.8±4.6 y, height 175.6±6.4 cm; weight 86.3±4.6 kg) were divided into two groups. The first (N.=5) performed tailored AeT based exercise (AeTE) while the control group (N.=4) performed a non-controlled aerobic exercise with intervention time being 6 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention values for ventilatory equivalents and AeT were determined on a treadmill by using breath-by-breath gas analysis. RESULTS: VO2 values at AeT for AeTE were pre- 20.10±2.47 mL•kg-¹•min-¹ and post- 24.50±2.15 mL•kg-¹•min-¹ (P<0.05) whereas 19.80±2.66 mL•kg-¹•min-¹ and 20.50±2.15 mL•kg-¹•min-¹ (p < 0.05) were observed in the control group, respectively. Improvements of resting VE/VO2 have been observed in AeTE (pre- 58.17±8.66 and post- 46.17±6.46, p < 0.05) whereas no significant statistical improvement was observed in a control group (pre- 54.37±6.35 and post- 53.14±5.62, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated improvement in exercise tolerance in AeTE. We consider how specific AeT based exercise has a better therapeutic effect than overall aerobic exercise in male asthma patients.

description: In this work, a covariant formulation of the gluon self-energy in presence of ellipsoidal anisotropy is considered. It is shown that the general structure of the gluon self-energy can be written in terms of six linearly independent projection tensors. Similar to the spheroidal anisotropy, mass scales can be introduced for each of the collective modes considering the static limits. With a simplified ellipsoidal generalization of the Romatschke-Strickland form, the angular dependencies of the mass scales are studied. It is observed that, compared to the spheroidal case, additional unstable mode may appear in presence of ellipsoidal anisotropy depending upon the choice of the parameters.

description: We present a study of the in-flight performance of the XMM-Newton EPIC MOS and pn detectors, with focus on the influence of proton flares and vignetting on the data. The very wide range in the conditions of our sample of observations, in terms of exposure length and background intensities, allows the detection of a wide range in the spectra of the proton flares, in contrast to the hard-spectrum flares proposed by Lumb et al.(2002) or Read et al.(2003) We also find an up to now unreported contamination in the low energy regime (E<0.5 keV) of the MOS1 observations, consisting of a significant increase in the measured intensities in two CCDs at the edges of the detector. This contamination yields in "bright CCDs" in the observations. Its effect must be taken into account for the study of sources detected in the affected CCDs. With respect to vignetting, we present in-flight exposure maps and we propose a method to repeat this calculation for user-definable energy bands. All the results presented here, have the goal to enable the study of very faint extended sources with XMM-Newton, like nearby galactic X-ray halos or the soft X-ray background.

Body Maps on Human Chromosomes

description: An exploration of the hypothesis that human genes are organized somatotopically: For each autosomal chromosome, its tissue-specific genes tend to have relative positions on the chromosome that mirror corresponding positions of the tissues in the body. In addition, there appears to be a division of labor: Such a homunculus representation on a chromosome holds significantly for either the anteroposterior or the dorsoventral body axis. In turn, anteroposterior and dorsoventral chromosomes tend to occupy separate zones in the spermcell nucleus. One functional rationale of such largescale organization is for efficient interconnections in the genome.
Cultural Hauntings: Narrating Trauma in Contemporary Films about the Iraq War

description: Societies come to terms with the “unfinished business” of past wars through obsessive retellings of their traumatic histories (Bronfen 2012). Combat films therefore are a powerful cultural arena wherein collective memories are negotiated. While movies about twentieth-century wars have received much public attention as meaning-making cultural artefacts, Western academia has to date largely neglected films about a defining conflict of the twenty-first century: the Iraq War (2003-2011). This paper addresses how American and Iraqi films contribute to debates on war memory by depicting ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ as a harrowing and inconclusive conflict. Specifically, the article examines how Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker (2008) and Mohamed Al-Daradji’s Son of Babylon (Syn Babilonu, 2009) incorporate the rhythms of traumatic memory into their narrative fabric. Drawing on Derrida’s concept of hauntology, I argue that the central structuring device of repetition compulsion creates complex trauma palimpsests which present war as a never-ending and ever-returning experience. Ultimately, this study’s examination of the interdependencies between film narrative, trauma, human precariousness and empathy sheds a new light on Iraq’s and America’s intricately intertwined histories of violence.

description: New candidate variable stars have been identified in the Small Magellanic Cloud cluster NGC121, by applying both the image subtraction technique (ISIS, Alard 2000) and the Welch & Stetson (1993) detection method to HST WFPC2 archive and ACS proprietary images of the cluster. The new candidate variable stars are located from the cluster's Main Sequence up to Red Giant Branch. Twenty-seven of them fall on the cluster Horizontal Branch and are very likely RR Lyrae stars. They include the few RR Lyrae stars already discussed by Walker & Mack (1988). We also detected 20 Dwarf Cepheid candidates in the central region of NGC121. Our results confirm the "true" globular cluster nature of NGC121, a cluster that is at the young end of the Galactic globulars' age range.

description: The representation of modern warfare has always been problematic, but depicting nuclear war seems to be an almost impossible task for writers, inasmuch as a real nuclear conflict has never taken place, so that there is no “real” model that writers may refer to. And yet in the Cold War years the threat of WWIII was such an important and urgent issue that fiction writers repeatedly attempted to stage the unreal war, and think the unthinkable. Some of them adopted a mix of the extrapolative strategies of science-fiction and conventional, “realistic” narrative protocols; others, such as Thomas Pynchon, Philip K. Dick, and J.G. Ballard, though also using science-fictional extrapolations, opted for more unconventional narrative strategies, drawing from modernism or devising new devices. This article attempts to survey what the consequences of these different approaches have been.

description: In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. A 72, 033415 (2005)], it was shown that sub-Doppler cooling occurs in a standing-wave Raman scheme (SWRS) that can lead to reduced period optical lattices. These calculations are extended to allow for non-zero detuning of the Raman transitions. New physical phenomena are encountered, including cooling to non-zero velocities, combinations of Sisyphus and "corkscrew" polarization cooling, and somewhat unusual origins of the friction force. The calculations are carried out in a semi-classical approximation and a dressed state picture is introduced to aid in the interpretation of the results.

description: Spitzer Space Telescope observations of a point-like source, L1014-IRS, close to the dust peak of the low-mass dense core L1014 have questioned its starless nature. The presence of an object with colors expected for an embedded protostar makes L1014-IRS the lowest luminosity isolated protostar known, and an ideal target with which to test star formation theories at the low mass end. In order to study its molecular content and to search for the presence of a molecular outflow, we mapped L1014 in at least one transition of 12CO, N2H+, HCO+, CS and of their isotopologues 13CO, C18O, C17O, N2D+ and H13CO+, using the FCRAO, the IRAM 30 meter and the CSO. The data show physical and chemical properties in L1014 typical of the less evolved starless cores: i.e. H2 central density of a few 10^5 molecules cm^-3, estimated mass of ~2M_sun, CO integrated depletion factor less than 10, N(N2H+)~6*10^12 cm^-2, N(N2D+)/N(N2H+) equal to 10% and relatively broad N2H+(1--0) lines (0.35 km/s). Infall signatures and significant velocity shifts between optically thick and optically thin tracers are not observed in the line profiles. No classical signatures of molecular outflow are found in the 12CO and 13CO observations. In particular, no high velocity wings are found, and no well-defined blue-red lobes of 12CO emission are seen in the channel maps. If sensitive, higher resolution observations confirm the absence of an outflow on a smaller scale than probed by our observations, L1014-IRS would be the only protostellar object known to be formed without driving an outflow.

description: Regge-Teitelboim embedding gravity is the modified gravity based on a simple string-inspired geometrical principle: our spacetime is considered here as a 4-dimensional surface in a flat bulk. This theory is similar to the recently popular theory of mimetic gravity: the modification of gravity appears in both theories as a result of the change of variables in the action of General Relativity. Embedding gravity, as well as mimetic gravity, can be used in explaining the dark matter mystery since, in both cases, the modified theory can be presented as General Relativity with additional fictitious matter (embedding matter or mimetic matter). For the general case, we obtain the equations of motion of embedding matter in terms of embedding function as a set of first-order dynamical equations and constraints consistent with them. Then we construct a non-relativistic limit of these equations, in which the motion of embedding matter turns out to be slow enough so that it can play the role of cold dark matter. The non-relativistic embedding matter turns out to have a certain self-interaction, which could be useful in the context of solving the core-cusp problem that appears in the LambdaCDM model.

description: Over the past decade, most of the metropolitan cities across the world have been witnessing a degrading trend in air quality index. Exhaust emission data observations show that promotion of public transport could be a potential way out of this gridlock. Due to environmental concerns, numerous public transport authorities harbor a great interest in introducing zero emission electric buses. A shift from conventional diesel buses to electric buses comes with several benefits in terms of reduction in local pollution, noise, and fuel consumption. This paper proposes the relevant vehicle technologies, powertrain, and charging systems, which, in combination, provides a comprehensive methodology to design an Electric Bus that can be deployed in metropolitan cities to mitigate emission concerns.

description: An analytic collective model in which the relative presence of the quadrupole and octupole deformations is determined by a parameter (phi_0), while axial symmetry is obeyed, is developed. The model [to be called the analytic quadrupole octupole axially symmetric model (AQOA)] involves an infinite well potential, provides predictions for energy and B(EL) ratios which depend only on phi_0, draws the border between the regions of octupole deformation and octupole vibrations in an essentially parameter-independent way, and describes well 226-Th and 226-Ra, for which experimental energy data are shown to suggest that they lie close to this border. The similarity of the AQOA results with phi_0=45 degrees for ground state band spectra and B(E2) transition rates to the predictions of the X(5) model is pointed out. Analytic solutions are also obtained for Davidson potentials, leading to the AQOA spectrum through a variational procedure.

description: Team Recommendation has always been a challenging aspect in team sports. Such systems aim to recommend a player combination best suited against the opposition players, resulting in an optimal outcome. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised statistical approach to build a team recommendation system for cricket by modelling players into embeddings. To build these embeddings, we design a qualitative and quantitative rating system which considers the strength of opposition also for evaluating player performance. The embeddings obtained, describes the strengths and weaknesses of the players based on past performances of the player. We also embark on a critical aspect of team composition, which includes the number of batsmen and bowlers in the team. The team composition changes over time, depending on different factors which are tough to predict, so we take this input from the user and use the player embeddings to decide the best possible team combination with the given team composition.

description: Mic One’s 1998 version of Graham Nash’s 1971 hit has been much imitated by other rap artists, including Gangsta Nation and Beanie Sigel. This essay explores the politics of appropriation and sampling, arguing that musical borrowings work both ways. The outpouring of grief that attended Mic One’s death in Norridge contrasts with the CNN special entitled Chicagoland. Rap music’s local knowledge, as shown by graffiti, murals, and rap music offers a counter narrative to more widely disseminated news reports such as “Chicagoland” that purport to represent the windy city.

description: I discuss simulations of the coalescence of black hole neutron star binary systems with black hole masses between 14 and 20 \msun. The calculations use a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics code, a temperature-dependent, nuclear equation of state and a multi-flavor neutrino scheme. General relativistic effects are mimicked using the \Pacz-Wiita pseudo-potential and gravitational radiation reaction forces. Opposite to previous, purely Newtonian calculations, in none of the explored cases episodic mass transfer occurs. The neutron star is always completely disrupted after most of its mass has been transferred directly into the hole. For black hole masses between 14 and 16 \Msun an accretion disk forms, large parts of it, however, are inside the last stable orbit and therefore falling with large radial velocities into the hole. These disks are (opposite to the neutron star merger case) thin and -apart from a spiral shock- essentially cold. For higher mass black holes ($M_{\rm BH} \ge 18$ \msun) almost the complete neutron star disappears in the hole without forming an accretion disk. In these cases the surviving material is spun up by tidal torques and ejected as a half-ring of neutron-rich matter. None of the investigated systems is a promising GRB central engine. We find between 0.01 and 0.2 \Msun of the neutron star to be dynamically ejected. Like in a type Ia supernova, the radioactive decay of this material will power a light curve with a peak luminosity of a few times $10^{44}$ erg/s. The maximum will be reached about three days after the coalescence and will be mainly visible in the optical/near infrared band. The coalescence itself may produce a precursor pulse with a thermal spectrum of $\sim 10$ ms duration.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία μελετάται η εκμετάλλευση υφιστάμενου χώρου και η δημιουργία νέου θέτοντας ως στόχο να μετατρέψει το άτομο, την αδιαφορία και την έλλειψη βαρύτητας της πρόσφατης τεχνολογικής κατασκευής σε μια θετική εμπειρία του χώρου, του τόπου και του νοήματος διατηρώντας ταυτόχρονα τον απόλυτο σεβασμό στο παρελθόν, το παρόν και το μέλλον.
Γίνεται χρήση της αντανάκλασης, των διαβαθμίσεων της διαφάνειας, της επικάλυψης, της αντιπαράθεσης και των σύγχρονων τεχνολογικών μέσων για να δημιουργηθεί μια αίσθηση βάθους στο χώρο, καθώς και λεπτών και μεταβαλλόμενων αισθήσεων κίνησης και φωτός. Σε έναν και μόνο χώρο μπορεί να υπάρχουν πολλαπλά περιβάλλοντα συμπεριφοράς σε διαφορετικές στιγμές.
Αναφορικά με το τι βιώνουμε σε έναν συγκεκριμένο χώρο, αυτός αποτελεί κομμάτι της εμπειρίας μας και καθορίζεται σε συνάρτηση με τους ανθρώπους που ζούνε μέσα σε αυτόν. Έτσι, όπως αναφέρει και ο Canter (1988), τα συναισθήματα που ένα άτομο αποκτά για το χώρο είναι συστατικό της έννοιας «χώρος», και μπορούν να καταγραφούν με τη μελέτη που αφορά στην ικανοποίηση του, καθώς και στη θέληση που εκφράζει για συχνές επισκέψεις στο χώρο αυτό.
Επομένως ο χώρος καθορίζει και την κατανόηση των ανθρώπινων εμπειριών και συμπεριφορών και επιτρέπει τη δημιουργία πλέον ενός «πολυχώρου» που ανταποκρίνεται σε οποιοδήποτε μοντέλο χρήστη.

description: In this thesis, the correct use of the current space as well as the creation of new one is studied, in order to transform the person into a positive experience of the actual space, place and general content, avoiding the lack of gravity of the recent technological methods, maintaining at the same time the absolute respect to the past, the present and the future. This is achieved by making use of the reflection, the levels of transparency, the covering, the contradiction as well as the modern technological means in order to create a sense of space depth and delicately fluctuating senses of movement and physical light. In a single space there could be multiple behavioral environments at different points in time. Our experience of a certain space is defined by the persons who live in it. As quoted by Canter (1988), a person’s feeling of a space is an actual ingredient of the meaning of “space”, and they can documented in the study concerning its satisfaction and its will to visit this space. Therefore, the space also defines the understanding of the human experiences and behaviors, allowing the creation of a “multi-space” that can respond to any user-model.
Porous Bodies in Mumbai: An Analysis of the Urban Landscape in Rohinton Mistry’s Novels

description: Rohinton Mistry’s work mainly focuses on the life of the marginalized and their struggle to survive against human ambition and political corruption, and Mumbai is frequently the meeting point of many of his characters. In this paper, I analyze the writer’s conception of the urban landscape from an ecocritical perspective, applying material ecocriticism’s theories and exploring the city as a porous body. Cities are compounds of matter and energy in mutual transformation with human and non-human beings, living and non-living matter (Alaimo 2008, Tuana 2008, Iovino 2014). Through the application of the concept of porosity, I show how Mistry’s characters are directly affected by what happens in the city. The city, on the other side, is also deeply transformed by human ambition, the tyranny of those in power, and the dirtiness and chaos resulting from social abuse.

title: Predicting Individual Hiking Trail Intensity Using Statistical Learning
Creators: name: Hannan, Kelci
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Hiking is an increasingly popular choice for people wanting to engage in recreation and physical activity. It not only offers the many benefits of exercise but also the opportunity to explore nature and to socialize. To ensure that new hikers are prepared to hike and remain safe while on the trail, knowledge of a hiking trail's difficulty is important. Trail difficulty information is sometimes available at the trailhead if the trail is well-trafficked and maintained but is nearly always available online or through a hiking-specific mobile application, such as AllTrails. Both trailhead and online sources provide only one difficulty rating for all users regardless of personal characteristics, such as age and fitness level, which can lead to a misalignment of expectations and actual hiking experience. This project's overall goal was to attempt to generate personalized predictions of hiking trail difficulty and assess the effectiveness and utility of this approach. During a series of investigations, individuals hiked the Wind Caves trail in Logan, Utah while wearing a fitness watch that recorded heart rate, hiking speed, and location. Participants recorded how hard they felt they were exercising while hiking using a metric called Rating of Perceived Exertion. Before hiking, each participant answered questions about their fitness level, response to painful situations, and hiking experience. This information combined with statistical models was used to predict each individual's hiking intensity on the Wind Caves trail. These models were then evaluated for accuracy to assess how they might be used to improve estimates of hiking trail intensity prior to beginning a hike. We also explored which variables most improved hiking intensity prediction and how different perceived exertion scales impacted model performance. The results of this project suggest that personalized predictions of hiking difficulty may be feasible with refinement of the approaches used here, such as imposing one hiking speed or focusing on a sub-group of hikers, and lay a foundation for future research into applying statistical models to this question. Finally, we offer areas for improvement in future studies examining personalized trail intensity predictions.
Damping of slow surface kink modes in solar photospheric waveguides modeled by one-dimensional inhomogeneities

description: Given the recent interest in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in pores and sunspot umbrae, we examine the damping of slow surface kink modes (SSKMs) by modeling solar photospheric waveguides with a cylindrical inhomogeneity comprising a uniform interior, a uniform exterior, and a continuous transition layer (TL) in between. Performing an eigen-mode analysis in linear, resistive, gravity-free MHD, our approach is idealized in that, among other things, our equilibrium is structured only in the radial direction. We can nonetheless address two damping mechanisms simultaneously, one being the Ohmic resistivity, and the other being the resonant absorption of SSKMs in the cusp and Alfv$\acute{\rm e}$n continua. We find that the relative importance of the two mechanisms depends sensitively on the magnetic Reynolds number ($R_{\rm m}$). Resonant absorption is the sole damping mechanism for realistically large values of $R_{\rm m}$, and the cusp resonance in general dominates the Alfv$\acute{\rm e}$n one unless the axial wavenumbers are at the lower end of the observationally relevant range. We also find that the thin-boundary approximation holds only when the TL-width-to-radius ratios are much smaller than nominally expected. The Ohmic resistivity is far more important for realistically small $R_{\rm m}$. Even in this case, SSKMs are only marginally damped, with damping-time-to-period-ratios reaching $\sim 10$ in the parameter range we examine.

Density and Polarization of Active Brownian Particles in Curved Activity Landscapes

description: Suspensions of motile active particles with space dependent activity form characteristic polarization and density patterns. Recent single-particle studies for planar activity landscapes identified several quantities associated with emergent density-polarization patterns, including swim pressure, that are solely determined by bulk variables and thus constitute state functions. We show that for radially symmetric activity steps these variables depend on the curvature of the active-passive interface. In the specific case of total polarization and swim pressure, we generalize this result for arbitrary radially symmetric activity landscapes. Our exact as well as approximate analytical results agree with exact numerical calculations. We expect qualitatively the same results to hold for arbitrarily curved activity landscapes.
Homely Strangers: Rethinking Group Identities in Maryse Conde’s Crossing the Mangrove
Creators: name: Gkertsou, Sofia

description: The concepts of home, identity, and belonging have been intensely debated in contemporary postcolonial literature. In the field of contemporary West Indian fiction, writers like Caryl Phillips, Andrea Levy, Michelle Cliff, and Maryse Condé have all used motifs of distance and proximity in their fiction. Although most writers approach postcolonial identity through the glorification of familiar “common” grounds like gender, motherhood, colour, or folk culture, they cannot escape the reiteration of Western representational frames regarding identity. By focusing on Maryse Condé’s Crossing the Mangrove, my paper addresses the issues of collective identity and belonging through the motifs of strangeness and estrangement. My aim in this paper is twofold. First, with the theoretical support of Sara Ahmed and her work on “stranger fetishism,” I will argue that Condé’s strangers reflect the inherent strangeness and estrangement of the local Guadeloupean community and undermine the fiction of the sentimentalized space of home. Secondly, I will argue that Conde destabilizes the fiction of “home” in order to put forward a revised definition of group identities. According to Maryse Condé, the West Indian tangled root system— and hence the futility of roots and origins—can in fact constitute the only “common/uncommon” ground for postcolonial West Indian representation. Following Jean-Luc Nancy and Giorgio Agamben, my paper argues that although Condé distances herself from the biological character of community building—avoiding the pitfalls of race, colour, history, and the past—she does not define West Indian subjectivity on the basis of missing or negative qualities either. In other words, Condé’s fiction does not prescribe a list of properties owing to or against which the West Indian subject is measured. Through this prism, I aim to show that Crossing the Mangrove interrupts the traditional categories of Western representation and creates a post-western mode of “being-together” simply by existing as a “singularly plural coexistence,” where each subject exposes their individual boundaries and limitations.
