  • “Savage and Deformed”: Stigma As Drama in the Tempest Jeffrey R
    “Savage and Deformed”: Stigma as Drama in The Tempest Jeffrey R. Wilson The dramatis personae of The Tempest casts Caliban as “asavageand deformed slave.”1 Since the mid-twentieth century, critics have scrutinized Caliban’s status as a “slave,” developing a riveting post-colonial reading of the play, but I want to address the pairing of “savage and deformed.”2 If not Shakespeare’s own mixture of moral and corporeal abominations, “savage and deformed” is the first editorial comment on Caliban, the “and” here Stigmatized as such, Caliban’s body never comes to us .”ס“ working as an uninterpreted. It is always already laden with meaning. But what, if we try to strip away meaning from fact, does Caliban actually look like? The ambiguous and therefore amorphous nature of Caliban’s deformity has been a perennial problem in both dramaturgical and critical studies of The Tempest at least since George Steevens’s edition of the play (1793), acutely since Alden and Virginia Vaughan’s Shakespeare’s Caliban: A Cultural His- tory (1993), and enduringly in recent readings by Paul Franssen, Julia Lup- ton, and Mark Burnett.3 Of all the “deformed” images that actors, artists, and critics have assigned to Caliban, four stand out as the most popular: the devil, the monster, the humanoid, and the racial other. First, thanks to Prospero’s yarn of a “demi-devil” (5.1.272) or a “born devil” (4.1.188) that was “got by the devil himself” (1.2.319), early critics like John Dryden and Joseph War- ton envisioned a demonic Caliban.4 In a second set of images, the reverbera- tions of “monster” in The Tempest have led writers and artists to envision Caliban as one of three prodigies: an earth creature, a fish-like thing, or an animal-headed man.

Despite many studies performed in past years, very little is know about the light-curves of these objects and inconsistencies are present between colours derived by different authors. This situation motivated our effort to improve both the knowledge of colours and light curves. Methods. We present and discuss, the time series observations of Sycorax, Prospero, Stephano, Setebos, and Trinculo, five faint, irregular satellites of Uranus, which were carried out at VLT, ESO Paranal (Chile) on the nights between 29 and 30 July, 2005 and 25 and 30 November, 2005.

  • Weighing Uranus' Moon Cressida with the Η Ring

Weighing Uranus’ Moon Cressida with the η Ring Robert O. Chancia1 , Matthew M. Hedman1 , and Richard G. French2 1 Department of Physics, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844-0903, USA; [email protected] 2 Astronomy Department, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 02481, USA Received 2017 June 19; revised 2017 August 9; accepted 2017 August 21; published 2017 September 20 Abstract The η ring is one of the narrow rings of Uranus, consisting of a dense core that is 1–2 km wide and a diffuse outer sheet spanning about 40 km. Its dense core lies just exterior to the 3:2 Inner Lindblad Resonance of the small moon Cressida. We fit the η ring radius residuals and longitudes from a complete set of both ground-based and Voyager stellar and radio occultations of the Uranian rings spanning 1977–2002. We find variations in the radial position of the η ring that are likely generated by this resonance, and take the form of a 3-lobed structure rotating at an angular rate equal to the mean motion of the moon Cressida. The amplitude of these radial oscillations is 0.667±0.113 km, which is consistent with the expected shape due to the perturbations from Cressida. The magnitude of these variations provides the first measurement of the mass and density of the moon Cressida (m =´()2.5 0.4 1017 kg and r =0.86 0.16 gcm−3) or, indeed, any of Uranus’ small inner moons.

  • By: Maddie S. It Takes 84 Earth Years for It to Complete One Orbit
    Uranus By: Maddie S. It takes 84 earth years for it to complete one orbit. It's radius is 400.1 miles. At its closest it orbits Uranus appeared to be 1.7 billion miles away. At its only a blue-green ball with farthest it orbits 1.9 billion miles a smooth surface. away. Uranus is too far away to see easily without a telescope. Uranus is the seventh planet Sometimes it is just bright from the sun. It orbits farther enough to see with the naked out, along Uranus's outer eye. ring. Uranus' high powered telescope at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii creates detailed images of Uranus. Each of Uranus' hemispheres receives 42 earth years of sunlight. Uranus' rings are a mix of large chunks of matter and fine particles of dust. One spacecraft has managed to visit Uranus but it took a little creativity to get it there. The rings orbiting Uranus are thinner than those orbiting other planets. Uranus has ten moons. Ariel is Uranus's brightest moon. The moons names are Juliet, Puck Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Desdemona, Portia, Rosalind, Cressida, and Belinda. Umbriel is the darkest moon on Uranus. Uranus Uranus is so far away that for about 200 years scientists could not make out how quickly it turns on its axis. Most planets turn on their axis in such a way that they are almost upright as they move about the sun. It is the only planet with an axis tipped that way, so some think of it as a sideways planet. Like most planets, Uranus has its own natural satellites, or moons.

  • Narrative and the Deconstruction of the Self in Othello Emily Tartanella
    "Whereby Hangs a Tale": Narrative and the Deconstruction of the Self in Othello Emily Tartanella 8 April 2010 English 399 Thesis Advisor: Professor Kim Benston 1 V "Whereby Hangs a Tale": Narrative and the Deconstruction of the Self in Othello If language can sustain the body, it can also threaten its existence. - Judith Butler, Excitable Speech: A Politics of the Performative' At the center of William Shakespeare's Othello lies a series of competing narratives, narratives that are also simultaneously ways of thinking about narrative. If we read Othello through this narratological prism, we can see that Othello envisions himself as created through an act of narrativizing. Othello establishes his history, his life, and his continued existence as products of a continuously self-told narrative. His position as the subject in his story, though, is destabilized by the time we arrive at the play's conclusion, since his self-perception has been progressively undermined by Iago's expressive hodgepodge of generalization, gossip, silence and repetition. For Iago's disruptions of Othello's tales are themselves narrative acts; not only are they transmitted through speech but they work to destabilize otherwise coherent and transparent systems of storytelling. By the play's violent climax, Othello's ability to narrate his own story has become so overtaken, so fragmented, that even at he struggles to come to terms with his loss of identity and narrative authority even at the moment of his death.

The scientific accuracy of the creations may not be as im- portant as the learning, reasoning, and imagination used to construct each invention. Invent a Planet: Students may create (draw, paint, montage, build from household or classroom items, what- ever!) a planet. Does it have air? What color is its sky? Does it have ground? What is its ground made of? What is it like on this world? Invent an Alien: Students may create (draw, paint, montage, build from household items, etc.) an alien. To be fair to the alien, they should be sure to provide a way for the alien to get food (what is that food?), a way to breathe (if it needs to), ways to sense the environment, and perhaps a way to move around its planet.
