  • 1 War in Paradise: Solentiname and the Sandinista
    War in Paradise: Solentiname and the Sandinista Revolution Ileana L. Selejan Institutional Affiliation: Linda Wyatt Gruber '66 Curatorial Fellow in Photography, at The Davis Museum at Wellesley College Address: 106 Central Street, Wellesley, MA 02481 Email: [email protected] Telephone: 781.283.2070 Abstract (200-300 words) The essay presents a case study of the Solentiname archipelago in Nicaragua theorized as a site for the construction of Utopia, an idealized environment where an alternative community was formed during the sixties and seventies, in opposition to the Somoza dictatorship (1936-1979). The leadership of Ernesto Cardenal led to the creation of an enduring cultural legacy, which was essential to the development of the Sandinista revolutionary movement, as well as to sustaining the Sandinista government following the victory of July 1979, and particularly during the Contra War (1981-1990). Applying art historical analysis, the essay investigates how photography contributes to the formation of revolutionary identities, by fulfilling both descriptive and ideological purposes. Despite the scarcity of the surviving visual record from the islands, I argue that photographs of the site were fundamental in establishing the role of the community as a strategic ally for the rising opposition against the Somoza dictatorship. Not only did photography help envision Utopia, it equally contributed to situating these hopes in the context of daily realities, resisting the regime. Other forms of art and literature that developed in Solentiname in the years leading up to the Revolution of 1978-79 further shaped revolutionary identities, as grievances about poverty, inequality and political repression were expressed through egalitarian high-low aesthetics.

The "general" kind of these proteins form the pre-initiation complex. The binding sites of these proteins can be determined by the ChIP-Seq assay, and they bind to consensus sites. These proteins consist of a DBD region and a TAD region where they can be regulated. These proteins often contain motifs like helix-turn-helix and leucine zippers. Six of them are found in the basal preinitiation complex, while another of these found in humans binds to the TATA box. The function of these proteins is affected by the methylation or acetylation of surrounding histones. They work by binding to either enhancer or promoter regions. For 10 points, name these proteins which affect the rate at which RNA strands are copied from DNA.
