  • Transantiquity
    TransAntiquity TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread “transgender dynamics” were in antiquity.

  • 1 What Comes After the Ideology of Separate Spheres? Women Writers and Modernism
    Notes 1 What Comes after the Ideology of Separate Spheres? Women Writers and Modernism. 1 Such influential works as Gilbert and Gubar’s No Man’s Land and Friedman’s early work on H.D. in Psyche Reborn follow modernist tradition in emphasizing the First World War as a historical rupture with the nine- teenth century. In contrast, Clark’s turn to the sentimental and Ardis’s to the figure of the ‘new woman’ both provide alternative nineteenth- century cultural contexts for women’s modernist writing, while Caren Kaplan offers one of the few readings of modernism’s continuities with postmodernism, specifically the value that they both place on travel and mobility. 2 Key works of the postmodern geography movement include Lefebvre, Soja and Harvey; the feminist interventions of Massey and Rose; and essay collections edited by Sibley, Duncan, Watson and Gibson, Keith and Pile, and Crang and Thrift. See Philo for a reading of Foucault’s contribution to this movement, and Vidler and Wigley for a parallel tendency within architectural theory. 3 Massey makes a similar point in her critique of Harvey and Soja (235). 4 Geographer Linda McDowell argues that a ‘spatialized’ feminist politics that wishes to avoid the problem of essentialism must reimagine both space and gender as ‘a network of relations, unbounded and unstable’ (36). McDowell specifically defines this reimagining of space as a problem for feminist standpoint epistemologies and cites Haraway’s intervention in standpoint theories, in Haraway’s essay on ‘Situated Knowledges’ (McDowell 35–6; Haraway 195–6). 5 See Ezra Pound’s attacks on romantic sentimentality (Literary Essays of Ezra Pound 11–12); Zach analyses Pound’s gendered metaphors of ‘soft’ romanti- cism vs.

  • The Rise of Relationals
    To appear in: MIND The Rise of Relationals F.A. MULLER Faculty of Philosophy, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Institute for the History and Foundations of Science, Utrecht University [email protected] We begin by criticising an elaboration of an argument in this journal due to K. Hawley (2009), who argued that, when Leibniz’s Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles (PII) faces counter-examples, invoking relations to save PII fails. We argue that insufficient attention has been paid to a particu- lar distinction. We proceed by demonstrating that in most putative counter-examples to PII (due to Immanuel Kant, Max Black, Alfred Julius Ayer, Peter Frederick Strawson, Hermann Weyl, Christian W ¨uthrich), the so-called Discerning Defence trumps the Summing Defence of PII. The general kind of objects that do the discerning in all cases form a category that has received little if any attention in metaphysics. This category of objects lies between indiscernibles and individuals and is called rela- tionals — objects that can be discerned by means of relations only and not by properties. Remarkably, relationals turn out to populate the universe.

  • Full Genome Analysis of Microglial Activation; Ramifications of Trem2
    UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON UCL INSTITUTE OF NEUROLOGY Department of Molecular Neuroscience FULL GENOME ANALYSIS OF MICROGLIAL ACTIVATION; RAMIFICATIONS OF TREM2 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By, Claudio N Villegas Llerena 2017 Supervisors, Prof John Hardy Dr Jennifer Pocock DECLARATION I, Claudio Nicolas Villegas Llerena, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT Neuroinflammation is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and it is well established that microglia, the brain's resident phagocytes, are pivotal for the immune response observed in AD. In the healthy brain, microglia attack and remove pathogens and cell debris, but have been shown to become reactive in AD. An apparent link between microglia and AD is Amyloid β (Aβ), which accumulates in the plaques observed in the brains of AD patients and has been reported as a microglia activator. Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have allowed the identification of more than 20 genetic risk associations to AD. Many of these associations highlight the importance of immune pathways (and others) in AD. More recently, the identification of mutations in TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2), a gene exclusively expressed by microglia in the brain, has brought microglial activation and dysfunction back to the attention of the AD community. The main focus of this study is to understand microglial activation elicited by different stimuli -including Aβ1-42 monomers, oligomers and fibrils- with regards to their inflammatory activation status (M1, M2 or other) and whole-genome expression profile.

The figure of the artist within the dominant social organisation of the fin-de-siecie is studied in relation to residual, dominant and emergent social formations. Focussing on four distinct figures, I examine the ways in which the discursive subject positions of the actress, the critic, the revolutionary and the child are oppositional because they represent positions that frustrate and evade the forceful processes that seek to incorporate individuals to the hegemony.

  • ©2012 Lauren Marshall Bowen
    ©2012 Lauren Marshall Bowen REWRITING THE AGING BODY: LITERACY, TECHNOLOGY, AND HISTORY BY LAUREN MARSHALL BOWEN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a concentration in Writing Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Peter Leslie Mortensen, Chair Professor Gail E. Hawisher Assistant Professor Melissa M. Littlefield Professor Paul A. Prior ii Abstract Millie Garfield gets out of bed each morning and makes a cup of coffee. She then goes to her computer and starts her day with a review of her favorite blogs, a visit to her son’s Twitter page, and a quick scan of reader comments on her own weekly blog posts. She looks forward to corresponding with a fellow blogger, who will help her get the most out of the e-reader she received as a gift for her birthday—her eighty-fifth. Accounts like this strike many as exceptional because dominant narratives about who possesses technological literacy—and why—obscure the life experiences of older adults like Millie. In this dissertation, I recover such stories in order to challenge the assumption that older adults are inherently unwilling or inept participants by identifying ways in which older writers find motivation to continue developing technological literacy. Literacy scholarship reveals that people take on the challenges of literacy to achieve greater public participation, or else because it is believed (usually falsely) to carry economic value. By examining the literacy and learning of older adults, I find other motivations—ones tied closely to the human body.

Originally, it was an adjective describing a certain skill which could be trained. In Hellenic times, it was most com­ monly used to define the process of educating youngsters in poetry and music. This connotation with education came first - the association with music is of a much later provenance.1 It was by means of this mousike that the illiterate society transmitted its values; thus chant and accompaniment had a clear educational, not to say pedagogical, dimension. In this respect, it is worth referring to the song of the Sirens, familiar from the pages of the Odyssey, the words of which expressed what for the Ancient Greeks was the sweetest of temp­ tations - the promise of secret knowledge. The myth of Odysseus, who, to avoid temptation, plugged his sailors’ ears with wax and had them tie him to the spar of a mast, provides a good illustration of the ambivalence inherent in mousike, and of the scandal inherent in teaching through music. Moreover, iconologists further relate that the Sirens were some­ times portrayed as monsters from the Underworld, and other times as fabulous creatures inhabiting the heavenly spheres.2 Passing over the whole extraordinary sphere of mythopoetics, let us note here the interesting fact that Sirens are familiar to sailors the whole world over.
