description: We present the results of a pilot study search for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) at low frequencies (139 - 170 MHz). We utilised MWA data obtained in a routine imaging mode from observations where the primary target was a field being studied for Epoch of Reionisation detection. We formed images with 2 second time resolution and 1.28~MHz frequency resolution for 10.5 hours of observations, over 400 square degrees of the sky. We de-dispersed the dynamic spectrum in each of 372,100 resolution elements of 2$\times$2 arcmin$^{2}$, between dispersion measures of 170 and 675~pc~cm$^{-3}$. Based on the event rate calculations in Trott, Tingay & Wayth (2013), which assumes a standard candle luminosity of $8\times10^{37}$ Js$^{-1}$, we predict that with this choice of observational parameters, the MWA should detect ($\sim10$,$\sim2$,$\sim0$) FRBs with spectral indices corresponding to ($-$2, $-$1, 0), based on a 7$σ$ detection threshold. We find no FRB candidates above this threshold from our search, placing an event rate limit of $<700$ above 700 Jy.ms per day per sky and providing evidence against spectral indices $α

description: The purpose of this in vivo study was to investigate the antimicrobial effectiveness of 6% sodium hypochlorite, when used with the conventional irrigation technique using a 30 gauge side-vented needle, the EndoVacTM System, and the ProUltra PiezoFlowTM Ultrasonic Irrigation Needle. It was hypothesized that both the EndoVacTM system and the PiezoFlowTM Ultrasonic Irrigation Needle would remove bacteria from root canals more effectively than irrigation using a 30 gauge side-vented needle. After obtaining informed consent from each subject, teeth were randomly divided into three treatment groups (n=30), and samples were collected following instrumentation and irrigation using one of the three irrigation techniques. The samples were cultured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and bacteria growth was measured by direct counting of colonies and grid specific calculations. Conclusions: The data indicated that the 30 gauge side-vented needle and the EndoVacTM System removed significantly more bacteria than the ProUltra PiezoFlowTM Ultrasonic Irrigation Needle.

description: Compton scattering is the dominant opacity source in hot neutron stars, accretion disks around black holes and hot coronae. We collected here a set of numerical expressions of the Compton scattering redistribution functions for unpolarized radiation (RF), which are more exact than the widely used Kompaneets equation. The principal aim of this paper is presentation of the RF by Guilbert (1981) which is corrected for the computational errors in the original paper. This corrected RF was used in the series of papers on model atmosphere computations of hot neutron stars. We have also organized four existing algorithms for the RF computations into a unified form ready to use in radiative transfer and model atmosphere codes. The exact method by Nagirner and Poutanen (1993) was numerically compared to all other algorithms in a very wide spectral range from hard X-rays to radio waves. Sample computations of the Compton scattering redistribution functions in thermal plasma were done for temperatures corresponding to the atmospheres of bursting neutron stars and hot intergalactic medium. Our formulae are also useful to the study Compton scattering of unpolarised microwave background radiation in hot intra-cluster gas and the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. We conclude, that the formulae by Guilbert (1981) and the exact quantum mechanical formulae yield practically the same redistribution functions for gas temperatures relevant to the atmospheres of X-ray bursting neutron stars, $T \le 10^8$ K.

LOSS AND DISCARD OF TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE: ARCHAEOLOGY OF CATAWBA FOODWAYS
Creators: name: Blewitt, Rosemarie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Erosion of traditional ecological knowledge in local communities has generally been studied using ethnographic and ethnohistorical data. I argue that changes in foodways related to the loss of traditional ecological knowledge can also be observed in the archaeological record. I analyzed archaeobotanical remains recovered from two historic period Catawba sites, the Old Town and the New Town sites, and compared them with assemblages from other Catawba sites to track changes in plant use over time. The Catawba Nation, located in South Carolina, underwent coalescence and ethnogenesis in response to the turmoil of the colonial world. I propose that people living at Old Town and New Town, having lost significant traditional ecological knowledge during earlier crises, were in the process of discarding that knowledge as part of the Catawbas’ active strategy of survival that focused on succeeding in the colonial market economy at the expense of traditional subsistence economies.
Comparative Study of Differentially Private Data Synthesis Methods

description: When sharing data among researchers or releasing data for public use, there is a risk of exposing sensitive information of individuals in the data set. Data synthesis (DS) is a statistical disclosure limitation technique for releasing synthetic data sets with pseudo individual records. Traditional DS techniques often rely on strong assumptions of a data intruder's behaviors and background knowledge to assess disclosure risk. Differential privacy (DP) formulates a theoretical approach for a strong and robust privacy guarantee in data release without having to model intruders' behaviors. Efforts have been made aiming to incorporate the DP concept in the DS process. In this paper, we examine current DIfferentially Private Data Synthesis (DIPS) techniques for releasing individual-level surrogate data for the original data, compare the techniques conceptually, and evaluate the statistical utility and inferential properties of the synthetic data via each DIPS technique through extensive simulation studies. Our work sheds light on the practical feasibility and utility of the various DIPS approaches, and suggests future research directions for DIPS.

description: Introduction Long chain Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have several anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and lipid lowering properties and can promote brain health during pregnancy and early life. In recent years, a large number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMA) of randomized controlled trials (RCT) have been undertaken of the effects of supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in pregnancy, lactation, and infancy. There is no comprehensive umbrella review of the estimates of effects for omega-3 fatty acids with trial data, including the certainty of evidence for each estimate and the magnitude of the observed effect based on the minimal important difference. We will perform an umbrella review of SRMA of RCTs on the effects of supplementations with long chain omga-3 fatty acids on any health related outcomes in pregnancy, lactation, and infancy (<2 years old).
Doing Fiction oder "Authentizität" als Darstellung. Über Videoarbeiten von Saskia Holmkvist

description: Sønke Gau Doing Fiction or Authenticity as Representation. On videoworks by Saskia Holmkvist In her videoworks “Interview with Saskia Holmkvist”, “In Character”, and “Role Control” Swedish artist Saskia Holmkvist investigates performative aspects of everyday life . She looks into the question how the impression of “authenticity” and credibility can be produce and in doing so she visualises their implicit structures of power and manipulation. Here, Holmkvist succeeds in eluding the verdict of simulation and dissimulation more by performing something like representation itself than by displaying, i.e. to stage those works, thus making them “transparent”. Holmkvist’s videos act as criticism of representation that stage relations between communication and representation, mediality, identity and power thus presenting “freedom of action”. Therefore, a second topic of her works is the opening of (inter-)subjective, social and political spaces and the consolidation of potentially emancipative “capacities to act” of subjects and groups.

Kulturelle Mythen, peinliche Phantasien, künstlerische Verlockungsprämien: Tracy Emin

Year: 2010

description: INSA HÄRTEL Cultural myths, disconcerting fantasies, artistic incentive bonuses: Tracey Emin Emin’s work is sometimes discussed under the premise of being either “authentic” or “strategic” in the sense of the artist’s positioning in art business. The tension between these perceptions is just the starting point of my contribution – especially with reference to Emin’s video piece Riding for a Fall (1999). The work’s “incitement” or allurement seems to oscillate between irony and intimacy. Just in view of the staged mythical images that include e.g. Wild West fantasies the article’s focus is on the entangled wishes coming about. Judging by the smile emerging on Emin’s face in the course of the video the representation somehow starts to refer to itself; momentarily an exhibition of the involved libidinal investments into the shown fantasies seems to take place – that’s at least the article’s conclusion.

The Power of Pink: Children's Bedrooms and Gender Identity
Creators: name: Adams, Annmarie
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2010

description: ANNMARIE ADAMS The Power of Pink: Children’s Bedrooms and Gender Identity Annmarie Adams’ article engages material culture in order to explore the highly contested site of the middle-class child’s bedroom in the late 20th century. As an architectural historian she charts changing bedroom design over time, working between ideal and real rooms. She outlines strategies for the decoration and arrangement of these rooms within the North American detached house, including children regarded as “gender variant”. Variation from traditional patterns contributes to our understanding of the relationship between material culture and the early formation of gender identity. Adams points out how the conventional methods of architectural history fall short in such an investigation as the roles of architects and sometimes even parents are often irrelevant. Instead, this exploratory paper suggests that the practices of stabilization as well as resistance against cultural codes may be a more fruitful focus of investigation.

Further, for a number of real nonlinear equations we show that whenever a nonlinear equation admits a solution in terms $\sech^2 x$, it also admits solutions in terms of the PT-invariant combinations $\sech^2 x \pm i \sech x \tanh x$. Besides, we show that similar results are also true in the periodic case involving Jacobi elliptic functions.

description: Electron-positron pair production by the superposition of two laser pulses with different frequencies and amplitudes is analyzed as a particular realization of the assisted dynamic Schwinger effect. It is demonstrated that, within a non-perturbative kinetic equation framework, an amplification effect is conceivable for certain parameters. When both pulses have wavelengths longer than the Compton wavelength, the residual net density of produced pairs is determined by the resultant field strength. The number of pairs starts to grow rapidly if the wavelength of the high-frequency laser component gets close to the Compton wavelength.

Self in Times of Tyranny of Choice

Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2010

description: RENATA SALECL Self in Times of Tyranny of Choice In her article, Renata Salecl takes today’s “endless possibilities” into consideration and critically follows well-established ideas that a free choice is nowadays possible for nearly everything: In the media challenges to be the creator of one’s life can often be found, endless options seem to be available – and often the choices made at last seem to have no clear foundation as attested e.g. by the vast numbers of self-help books on the market. Late capitalism makes us believe we could turn our lives into what we want all but in a self-determined manner, as if we were somehow independent from the Other. Salecl, however, highlights the other side of such ideologies with surprising results: by insisting on having a choice and the related need for control and accountability, a potentially compulsive attitude towards life is manifested – for all intents and purposes with the result of spreading angst. Thus, Salecl considers what is usually not accomplished in the assumption of rational choices.

It focuses on inscriptions of the (artistic) “self” in various spatial, media, and cultural settings. Contributors discuss the dominant discourses and concepts of this historical figure and its casting—as well as related “reverse sides” and ”disorders.” Of interest are both Versprechungen (promises) and Versprecher (slips of the tongue). The issue traces the strategies and effects of the self-inventing, self-classifying, self-accommodating, and self-recording subject, which has always been relational, reliant, and dependent, and whose “speech” is always addressed, shaped by culture and history, and porous.

description: The European Space Agency (ESA) is developing a network of wide-field survey telescopes, named Flyeye, to improve the discovery of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). The first telescope in the network will be located in the Northern Hemisphere on Mount Mufara (Italy), and a second Flyeye telescope, featuring increased detection capabilities, has just started the critical design phase. The potential location for the second Flyeye telescope is investigated by performing simulations of NEOs on impacting trajectories. Approximately 3000 impacting asteroids of two absolute magnitudes (H=25 and H=28) were propagated and tested for detectability by major existing surveys (Catalina, Pan-STARRS, ATLAS), the upcoming Vera Rubin Observatory (LSST), and possible Flyeye locations. Chile, South Africa, and a second facility in the Northern Hemisphere were considered. For each observatory, their past or planned pointing strategies were taken into account in the simulation. Before LSST deployment, a single Flyeye in the Southern Hemisphere performs similarly to a telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. When combined, having one telescope in the north and one in the south maximizes detections and number of unique objects detected. After LSST, southern and northern Flyeye telescopes remain complementary. Overall, simulations show that a second Flyeye in the south complements a Flyeye telescope in the north both before and after LSST. A Flyeye located at La Silla would take advantage of the excellent atmospheric conditions, while allowing a balance of assets across hemispheres.

description: SILKE BANGERT A Speaking/Vocalisation is Organised - Andrea Fraser’s Project A Society of Taste In 1993 the US-American artist Andrea Fraser realised the exhibition project A Society of Taste with and at the Kunstverein München. In the run-up to it she interviewed board members of the Kunstverein on questions of self-conception and taste. She arranged the answers into an audio collage that could have been heard in the Kunstverein’s exhibition rooms, the written version was printed in a publication. Artworks borrowed from the board members that were partly mentioned in the audio installation were also part of the exhibition and publication. In this article this project setting is analyzed according to its different speaker positions by means of Pierre Bourdieu’s explanations on “What Does Speaking Mean”[1]. To explain the mechanism and efficacy of existing speech acts the author adopts the stylistic device of passing a skeptron (scepter) used by Bourdieu, the passing of a scepter as a symbolic gesture authorization to speak. Thus, she develops a chain of authorizations for speakers not excluding herself. [1] Pierre Bourdieu, What Does Speaking Mean? On the Economy of Linguistic Changes, German edition, Vienna 2005.

description: We investigate the reach of the LHC Run 2 and that of a future circular hadron collider with up to 100 TeV centre of mass energy for the exploration of potential Dark Matter sectors. These dark sectors are conveniently and broadly described by simplified models. The simplified models we consider provide microscopic descriptions of interactions between the Standard Model partons and the dark sector particles mediated by the four basic types of messenger fields: scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector or axial-vector. Our analysis extends and updates the previously available results for the LHC at 8 and 14 TeV to 100 TeV for models with all four messenger types. We revisit and improve the analysis at 14 TeV, by studying a variety of analysis techniques, concluding that the most discriminating variables correspond to the missing transverse energy and the azimuthal angle between jets in the final state. Going to 100 TeV, the limits on simplified models of Dark Matter are enhanced significantly, in particular for heavier mediators and dark sector particles, for which the available phase space at the LHC is restricted. The possibility of a 100 TeV collider provides an unprecedented coverage of the dark sector basic parameters and a unique opportunity to pin down the particle nature of Dark Matter and its interactions with the Standard Model.

Cultural Memory and National Representation: The Franco-Prussian War in French and German Literature, 1871-1900
Creators: name: Carroll, Christina B.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the memory of the Franco-Prussian War in nineteenth-century
French and German literature from a transnational and comparative perspective. It focuses on
how four writers – Alphonse Daudet, Émile Zola, Theodor Fontane, and Detlev von
Liliencron – used representations of the war to construct visions of their respective nations,
which they defined against the enemy "other" and delineated in political, social, gendered,
and racial terms. As it makes clear, although these authors directed their texts at a national
audience, many of their works crossed the border – so even as the writers posited themselves
against each other, they remained in dialogue. The thesis also incorporates reviewers’
responses to these writers’ representations, and considers the scope of their popular appeal. It
contends that this ongoing, contested, and transnational process of negotiation between
writers, reviewers, and readers helped shape the memory of the war and understandings of
nation in nineteenth-century France and Germany.

description: SIGRID ADORF Techniques of Change: The First-person Perspective of Video and its Critical Turn in the Work of Lisa Steele This paper considers the disruptions of powerful gender attributions in and by the video works of various feminist artists in the 1970s. These artists make use of and critically reflect on so-called video feedback, a new technical possibility at the time, as a site of (political) interventions and “inter(re)actions.” Analysing the projected “intimate conversations” and relationships between artists, medium/work, and viewers, the paper traces “the shifts in the subjective discourse,” which present the subject rather as “one finding it-self—but a different one.” Following Lacan, Adorf interprets the “mirror stage,” or rather the “video stage” (Baudrillard), as a “transformation of the subject brought about by the recording of an image”—or as “change” induced by the interplay between close-ups and long shots.

How Do Pre-service Teachers Understand Intercultural Competence During a Short-Term Student Teaching Abroad Program: An Exploratory, Collective Case Study
Creators: name: Barrow, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation explores how four pre-service teachers (PSTs) came to define and understand intercultural competence (ICC) during a short-term student teaching abroad program. In this exploratory, collective case study I highlight the participants’ voice by analyzing their definitions of ICC before, during, and after their experience in Germany and using their descriptions of experiences living and working in German schools collected from journals, program evaluations, group interviews (before and during), class observation notes, re-entry individual interviews, and reflection surveys. Findings were analyzed using the conceptual framework of ICC (Alred, Byram, and Flemings, 2006; Bennett, 2008; Deardorff, 2006, 2008; Fantini, 2009) and transformative learning theory (Cranton, 2006; Mezirow, 1978, 1991, 2000; Taylor, 1994a, 1994b, 1997). Findings reveal that participants developed a more complex understanding of ICC over the course of a one-month student teaching abroad experience and that perspective transformation occurred in some of the participants. However, the pattern and depth of the transformation depend as much on participants’ affective and cognitive tendencies (impacted by individual’s professional and personal characteristics and history) as it does on program components. Four themes emerged from the data: (a) cross-cultural comparisons; (b) sociolinguistic awareness; (c) self-development; and (d) cultural awareness. All participants grew in their understanding and conceptualization of ICC, but two of the four individuals completed a perspective transformation during the four-week overseas period. The other two participants’ experiences validate Cranton’s (2006) concept of transformation iterative and cyclical and not hierarchical or linear. In addition to the theoretical implication, the applications for universities and K-12 schools can be many. Schools and universities have increased their focus on global education and creating opportunities for their students to participate in different cultural immersion experiences. This dissertation highlights the importance of studying genuine experiences in an international setting and shows ways in which international student teaching abroad program coordinators can maximize the possibility of their students developing an understanding of ICC that can be used not only for teaching abroad, but also when teaching culturally, linguistically, and racially diverse students in the United States.

Externalizing behavior in African American youth from single mother homes: the relative role of parents and peers
Creators: name: Cuellar, Jessica A.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Parents and peers have been identified as important contexts in which to study youth externalizing behavior. African American youth, particularly those from single mother homes, are overrepresented in statistics on aggression and delinquency; yet, relatively few studies have examined the relative influence of both parents and peers on externalizing behavior in this at-risk group. The current study examines the contributions of both positive parenting and peer relationships to externalizing behavior in a sample of African American youth from single mother homes (n = 184). Main effects were found for positive parenting and peer deviant behavior, but not for peer relationship quality. The proposed 2- and 3-way interactions were not significant. Peer deviant behavior and peer relationship quality partially mediated the association between positive parenting and youth externalizing behavior. Findings will inform a more theoretically rich contextual model for better understanding of externalizing behavior in African American youth from single mother homes.

description: Kondo insulators are emerging as a simplified setting to study both magnetic and metal-to-insulator quantum phase transitions. Here, we study a half-filled Kondo lattice model defined on a magnetically frustrated Shastry-Sutherland geometry. We determine a "global" phase diagram that features a variety of zero-temperature phases; these include Kondo-destroyed antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic metallic phases in addition to the Kondo-insulator phase. Our result provides the theoretical basis for understanding how applying pressure to a Kondo insulator can close its hybridization gap, liberate the local-moment spins from the conduction electrons, and lead to a magnetically correlated metal. We also study the momentum distribution of the single-particle excitations in the Kondo insulating state, and illustrate how Fermi-surface-like features emerge as a precursor to the actual Fermi surfaces of the Kondo-destroyed metals. We discuss the implications of our results for Kondo insulators including SmB$_6$.

description: Is the evaporation of a black hole described by a unitary theory? In order to shed light on this question ---especially aspects of this question such as a black hole's negative specific heat---we consider the real-time dynamics of a solitonic object in matrix quantum mechanics, which can be interpreted as a black hole (black zero-brane) via holography. We point out that the chaotic nature of the system combined with the flat directions of its potential naturally leads to the emission of D0-branes from the black brane, which is suppressed in the large $N$ limit. Simple arguments show that the black zero-brane, like the Schwarzschild black hole, has negative specific heat, in the sense that the temperature goes up when it evaporates by emitting D0-branes. While the largest Lyapunov exponent grows during the evaporation, the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy decreases. These are consequences of the generic properties of matrix models and gauge theory. Based on these results, we give a possible geometric interpretation of the eigenvalue distribution of matrices in terms of gravity. Applying the same argument in the M-theory parameter region, we provide a scenario to derive the Hawking radiation of massless particles from the Schwarzschild black hole. Finally, we suggest that by adding a fraction of the quantum effects to the classical theory, we can obtain a matrix model whose classical time evolution mimics the entire life of the black brane, from its formation to the evaporation.

description: Causal Impact (CI) of customer actions are broadly used across the industry to inform both short- and long-term investment decisions of various types. In this paper, we apply the double machine learning (DML) methodology to estimate the CI values across 100s of customer actions of business interest and 100s of millions of customers. We operationalize DML through a causal ML library based on Spark with a flexible, JSON-driven model configuration approach to estimate CI at scale (i.e., across hundred of actions and millions of customers). We outline the DML methodology and implementation, and associated benefits over the traditional potential outcomes based CI model. We show population-level as well as customer-level CI values along with confidence intervals. The validation metrics show a 2.2% gain over the baseline methods and a 2.5X gain in the computational time. Our contribution is to advance the scalable application of CI, while also providing an interface that allows faster experimentation, cross-platform support, ability to onboard new use cases, and improves accessibility of underlying code for partner teams.

description: The ground state energy of hydrogen molecular ion H2+ confined by a hard prolate spheroidal cavity is calculated. The case in which the nuclear positions are clamped at the foci is considered. Our calculations are based on using the variational Monte Carlo method with an accurate trial wave function depending on many variational parameters. The calculations were extended also to include the HeH++ molecular ion. The obtained results are in good agreement with the recent results.

Cellular and Molecular Effects of Mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) in Testicular Cancer

description: Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that are known testicular toxicants, used commonly as industrial plasticizers that are found in everyday items. Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is the most abundant phthalate in the environment, and its primary metabolite mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) is ten-fold more potent. The purpose of this study is to examine the cellular and molecular effects of MEHP in the development of testicular cancer. Proliferation was measured for NT2 cells exposed to 10µM and 100µM MEHP at 24 and 48 hours and for cells under controlled conditions. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was used to determine the methylation status of the promoter region of key testicular genes post exposure to MEHP. MEHP caused a dose-dependent negative effect on proliferation and significantly altered methylation levels for key testicular genes following exposure to 10µM MEHP and 100µM, as compared to controls. This suggests that MEHP alters proliferation and methylation of testicular tumour cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner.

Year: 2010

description: Sabeth Buchmann The Subject that is Not Whole This paper discusses the aesthetic processes of German artist Simone Schardt, whose work explores the languages of (post-)conceptualism, which are situated between strategies of objectification and subjectification, in terms of the current demands placed on the artist’s existence. Like many of her notes, made on lined paper using a pencil, typewriter, coffee and so on, her Grammatik der Härte – Grammatik der Weichheit, a drawing the artist has specially chosen to contribute to this issue, marks an attempt to translate traditional techniques of critiquing authorship and an artist’s work into the language of governmental concepts of subjectivity. Schardt’s work reflects on the subject or the first person as that particular site provided in a discourse that can and must (albeit never completely) be occupied by way of identification.

Freunde zählen. Das Private im Format eines aufgespeicherten Verrats

description: Andrea Sick Counting your friends. The private formatted as stored treason (Verrat) A steadily expanding network including websites such as Facebook, StudiVZ, Youtube, Xing, and especially Twitter and similar microblogs serves to make and publicize friends, store communications created by the spilling of intimacies, multiply references and enable evaluations. In this realm, the media society reproduces secrets that circulate in a loop of endless repetition. Friendship turns into a sign of attention and the number of friends turns into a measure of successful networking. Building on André Gorz’ concept of the traitor and Walter Benjamin’s concept of the destructive character, we’ll raise the question under which conditions tattling and twittering turn into preconditions and functions of treason. Within the reproductive circuitry of the social network, these mechanisms of “telling it all” constantly move references, leading to an interleaving of previously established spheres of public and private life that can be termed stored treason. This inevitably raises the question of how to read, interpret and sort the collected data.

description: Renate Wöhrer “How (Not) to Be Seen”. Questions about the Strategies of Depiction of Migrant Domestic Workers in Moira Zoitl’s Documentary Art Project Chat(t)er Gardens. Stories by and about Filipina Workers The article discusses the art project “Chat(t)er Gardens. Stories by and about Filipina Workers” (2002–2008) by Moira Zoitl, which documents the living and working conditions of migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong. It analyses the strategies of depiction, concentrating on the relation between private and public realm, which plays a significant role in the situation of the workers. Within the negotiation of this relation the migrant domestic workers create forms of visibility, which Moira Zoitl focuses on. In the article these kinds of visibility are examined and put in relation to the politics of visibility within the art project itself.
