In this paper, I propose a Mexican astronoetics: a way of recog- nizing the extraterrestrial aspirations of many Mexicans, while at the same time critically reflecting on the notions of exploration and conquest that inform these aspirations, as well as the earthly limits that complicate the possibility of their achievement. Before I look at the inter- and transnational relationships required to participate in outer space activities, I find it useful to think through some spatio-political concepts that are being debated in the era of the Blue Dot: globalization, cosmopolitanism/cosmopolitics, and the planetary, all of which demand that attention be paid to the ways in which humans (and non-humans) interact across Earth, and the ways in which these interactions are facilitated, negotiated, monitored, channeled and/or obstructed. “Globalization” refers to the processes that produce networks, particularly of capital, that connect people, places and things all over the planet.

  • Draft for Review
    Embargoed Until 12:01 a.m. PST Dec. 13, 2004 ALLEN INSTITUTE FOR BRAIN SCIENCE ANNOUNCES FIRST MAJOR DATA RELEASE FROM ITS BRAIN ATLAS Atlas Will Further Research into Brain Function, Behavior and Diseases Worldwide SEATTLE – DEC. 13, 2004 – The Allen Institute for Brain Science (AIBS) announced today the first major data release from its Allen Brain Atlas, a neurogenomic atlas of the mouse brain which will be used to advance research into human brain function, behavior and diseases. AIBS is releasing gene expression data for nearly 2,000 genes (about 10% of the mouse genome), together with tools to analyze the data at www.brainatlas.org or www.brain-map.org. As approximately 90% of the mouse genome is the same as the human genome, the mouse brain and the Allen Brain Atlas findings offer a gateway to understanding the human brain. “By studying the normal development and function of the brain in this detail, the Atlas will give researchers additional insight and understanding into the role of genetics in how the brain works and is constructed, as well as various brain diseases and disorders,” said investor and philanthropist Paul G. Allen, who founded the Allen Institute for Brain Science with a $100 million seed commitment in Sept. 2003. “This groundbreaking initiative is at the intersection of neuroscience and genomics. With our commitment to make the Atlas findings publicly available and accessible, the project will support the work of thousands of researchers worldwide.” The Allen Brain Atlas is mapping the usage, or expression, of the mouse genome onto known brain anatomy to reveal which genes are turned on in different brain regions.

Spanning the globe to infiltrate the world’s most dangerous black markets and using high tech tactics to document the link between carbon emissions and species extinction, RACING EXTINCTION reveals stunning, never-before seen images that truly change the way we see the world. Long Synopsis Scientists predict that humanity’s footprint on the planet may cause the loss of 50% of all species by the end of the century. They believe we have entered the sixth major extinction in Earth’s history, following the fifth great extinction which took out the dinosaurs. Our era is called the Anthropocene, or “Age of Man,” because evidence shows that humanity has sparked a cataclysmic change of the world’s natural environment and animal life. Yet, we are the only ones who can stop the change we have created.

    NEWS RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL JUNE 20, 2016 Film4Climate Global Video Competition Opens, In Search of Short Videos to Inspire the World Winners to be honored at official awards ceremony at COP22 climate summit in Marrakech, Morocco in November 2016 WASHINGTON, June 20, 2016 – The Film4Climate Global Video Competition formally opens today as the centerpiece of the Connect4Climate initiative to promote sustainability in the creative industries through active engagement with young people in finding solutions to climate change. Announced at the Cannes Film Festival by the World Bank Group’s Connect4Climate global partnership program, the competition will be open for submissions through September 15, with the winners to be announced at a high-profile awards ceremony at the United Nations COP22 Climate Summit in Marrakesh, Morocco in November. The winning entries will receive cash prizes of $8,000, $5,000, and $2,000 for first, second and third place in each of two categories: an under one-minute Public Service Advertisement (PSA) or a Short Film up to five minutes. The competition offers filmmakers a chance to have their work reviewed by a jury chaired by Bernardo Bertolucci, and including other preeminent directors, producers, writers and political leaders. At the competition’s announcement in Cannes, producer and jury member Lawrence Bender said, “In every country, every city, people have different stories on climate change...there are many stories that can be told. If this worldwide film competition creates a critical mass of ideas and energy, it could help tip the balance in terms of focusing people’s attention.” As the next five years will be critical to advancing and scaling up climate action around the world as part of the SDGs, the COP22 climate summit aims to encourage countries to implement ambitious climate actions, with youth playing a vital role in the agenda.
