Under my breath I said: I am modifying the Sahara. Jorge Luis Borges, 19851 Beyond its legal resonances, which link it to the attempt to preserve the rights to life, to freedom, and to be heard by the legal system, the Latin expression habe- as corpus means something like, “You may have the body.” It seems self-evident, but perhaps it is not. It is obvious that the person who lies on a couch is placing his or her body there. Psychoanalysis emerged precisely because someone decided to hear what that body – the body of hysteria, to be more specific – had to say. Contrary to what we might think, while at times our presence would seem to be reduced to a voice outside the patient’s field of vision, psychoanalysts also have a body. We may find different types of psychoanalysts depending on how they relate to their patients’ bodies – from the precursor of the discipline, Charcot, who would touch patients’ hysterogenic zones to trigger cloned attacks, to contemporary ana- lysts, who barely touch their patients’ bodies when they greet them. If psychoanalysis is somehow defined in relation to the body, this definition is based on an exclusion. In the consulting room we talk about and listen to the body, but we do not manipulate, caress, or explore it through a physical exam, even if anxiety occurs in the body and an accurate interpretation will touch it; even if the listener may feel a sudden sense of physical exhaustion after hearing certain discourses or is overcome by emotions that affect the body. The relative exclusion of the body from our practice does nothing but emphasize it, as it emphasizes sex- uality, which is also part of the body. We do nothing but talk about it. 1. Jorge Luis Borges. Atlas, translated by A. Kerrigan, (New York: Brooks, 1985). p. 82. Habeas corpus | 7 We can think of different ways in which psychoanalysts relate to the body. The possibilities range from those who read hieroglyphs encrypted in their patients’ bodies, to those who decipher bodies resembling Bradbury’s “The Illustrated Man,” to those who, like forensic anthropologists, identify remains, exhume them, and restore lost identities. Talking about the body also involves exploring how it in- filtrates many fields of knowledge. Language sheds light on this process. Nothing seems to escape its nominalizing ambition: medical corps, corpus delicti, the body of the nation, celestial bodies, hand to hand (cuerpo a cuerpo), the body of Christ, anatomical body, own body or foreign body; there are even two-body and three- body problems in physics.1 Whether we are speaking of typography or architec- ture, corporations or medicine, chemistry or religion, we need the notion of body.

Its central peaks also attracted astronomers' MESSENGER image of Mercury's Amaral crater interest, as they were seen to possess a striking blue hue in color-enhanced images that likely indicates rocks with different composition from the surrounding surface.

The presence of these Thermal stress tracks shows that these rocks have fallen relatively recently because aeolian processes are known to infill Ices topographic lows over time. Mapping of rockfall tracks indicate trends in frequency with orientation, which in Solar radiation � � turn depend on the latitudinal position of the crater. Craters in the equatorial belt (between 15 N and 15 S) Weathering exhibit higher frequencies of rockfall on their north-south oriented slopes compared to their east-west ones. � Craters >15 N/S have notably higher frequencies on their equator-facing slopes as opposed to the other ori­ entations. We computed solar radiation on the surface of crater slopes to compare insolation patterns with the spatial distribution of rockfalls, and found statistically significant correlations between maximum diurnal inso­ lation and rockfall frequency.

  • Space Weathering on Mercury
    Advances in Space Research 33 (2004) 2152–2155 www.elsevier.com/locate/asr Space weathering on Mercury S. Sasaki *, E. Kurahashi Department of Earth and Planetary Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113 0033, Japan Received 16 January 2003; received in revised form 15 April 2003; accepted 16 April 2003 Abstract Space weathering is a process where formation of nanophase iron particles causes darkening of overall reflectance, spectral reddening, and weakening of absorption bands on atmosphereless bodies such as the moon and asteroids. Using pulse laser irra- diation, formation of nanophase iron particles by micrometeorite impact heating is simulated. Although Mercurian surface is poor in iron and rich in anorthite, microscopic process of nanophase iron particle formation can take place on Mercury. On the other hand, growth of nanophase iron particles through Ostwald ripening or repetitive dust impacts would moderate the weathering degree. Future MESSENGER and BepiColombo mission will unveil space weathering on Mercury through multispectral imaging observations. Ó 2003 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction irradiation should change the optical properties of the uppermost regolith surface of atmosphereless bodies. Space weathering is a proposed process to explain Although Hapke et al.

We examined the national standards, state standards, and curricula from other states and districts within Vermont. After exploring these materials, the committee began preparing the skeleton of the document. This phase of the process was long and arduous. It took years of collaboration and compromise. The Scope and Sequence that follows represents a draft that has been reviewed by the committee, the administration, WWSU educators, and experts in the field outside our supervisory union. This document was written for the purpose of informing the practitioner who will use it to guide his or her teaching in the classroom. However, the committee encourages any educator to share his or her pieces with other interested parties. The committee recognizes there might be a need to interpret the meaning of the content for the layperson. The Social Studies Curriculum will include overlying materials such as the WWSU Pre-K – 12 scope and sequence, goals and desired outcomes. Following this overlying material, each grade level includes an introduction sheet with theme(s), geography implications, community service project guidelines, questions to consider, and key concepts covered in that grade. A partial list of resources is included and will be added to at a later date.

  • The Wakan Dialectic As Polemic
    Purple Displaces Crimson: The Wakan Dialectic as Polemic The cultural phenomenon known as wakan, the creative juxtaposition of Japanese (wa)and Chinese (kan) elements, can be difficult to articulate given the ambiguity involved in defining the boundaries of what makes something Chinese or Japanese, especially over time, or according to the unique perspectives of any given individual. Even at the seemingly irreducible level oflanguage, the apposition oflogographs expressing Chinese poems (kanshi), for example, and syllabic kana script expressing Japanese waka poems are not without nuances that render them fluid, interdependent, and aesthetically unified. Consider a 1682rendition of the Wakan roeishu (FIG.1), the famous eleventh-century anthology of Chinese and Japanese poetry, in which four columns of darkly inked logo graphs render fragments of Chinese poems nearly twice the size of the attenuated columns of kana to the left.' While the powerful Chinese graphs brushed in an assertive running script may at first seem clearly distinct and visually dominant, a closer look reveals an underlying merging of wa and kan in the work through, among other things, the paper decoration. Images of Chinese-style dragons contained within horizontal lines studded with golden dots roil across the upper register of the paper, breathing life into the design suggestive of a variety of associations, from Chinese emperors to serpentine kings beneath the sea. On the other hand, forms reminis­ cent ofblue clouds, invoking Japanese methods of paper manufacture, encroach toward the center, spilling over and neutralizing the visual force of the dragons, whose golden hue harmonizes with golden hills below. Beneath the calligraphy gold designs ofJapanese bush clover create a local setting for this synesthetic theater of poetic performance.

The essays are focused on four primary goals: to map the conceptual and cultural problems inherent in common educational approaches to the subject which sometimes see world literature as a metanarrative of Western culture; to suggest new genres and perspectives; to consider specific curricular and pedagogical issues; and to introduce "new" texts for consideration.
