Eighteenth-century Chevron Beads in the Southeast
Eighteenth-Century Chevron Beads In The Southeast, By Marvin T. Smith (1990, 16:6-9
Bead Sizes
Part 4 "Bead Sizes" of Beads from Gablonz.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Gablonz in northern Bohemia (now Jablonec nad Nisou in the Czech Republic) was a major producer and supplier of glass and ceramic beads to the world market. This production center created beads of myriad forms, using all the major manufacturing methods. This detailed study provides a thorough overview of the various methods including patent details as well as information concerning bead names, shapes, coloring, decoration, sizing, stringing, and historic prices. The text is accompanied by numerous illustrations of the beads under discussion and the tools and apparatuses used to make, size, and string them. There is also a well-illustrated section on the pre-1913 sample cards of two major Gablonz companies, the Redlhammer Brothers and the Mahla Brothers

Disforia existencial, género y extinción: una reflexión infrapolítica sobre 20.000 especies de abejas
What is the relationship between gender difference, its dysphorias, and the growing threat of human extinction? The film 20.000 especies de abejas (20,000 Species of Bees) by the Spanish-Basque director Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren (2023) dwells into this overwhelming question by portraying the life of Aitor-Cocó-Lucía, an 8-year-old whose coming of age gravitates between 1) the politics of gender (of identity, convention, tradition, and the phallologocentrism of the subject) and 2) the desistance, distance, and infrapolitical inscription that they (Cocó-Aitor-Lucía) are experiencing in their gender transition as they face the politics of binarism and subject identity. Through a filmic analysis of the child’s unease in an era of decontainment and turmoil, this article argues that their gender transition, in its secret and everyday unfolding, constitutes an existential decision. This existential decision to transform themselves through re-naming affirms the untamable diversity of the human condition: it presents the human as a species that is not above other species. Beneath all the above, however, there is an infrapolitical register signing at an ominous truth: that no identity, human inclusion, nor sheer multi-species affect can save the human from the mass extinction announced by the Anthropocene–and it is coming at us at full speed.¿Cuál es la relación entre la diferencia de género, sus disforias y la inminente extinción humana?
20.000 especies de abejas, largometraje dirigido por la directora vasca Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren en 2023 aborda esta pregunta mediante la transición de género de Aitor-Cocó-Lucía, un niñe cuya vida entrada a la vida adulta gravita entre la ley de las políticas de género (de la identidad, la convención, la tradición, el phalologocentrismo del sujeto) en tensión con la desistencia, distancia e inscripción infrapolítica que experiencia la protagonista en su transición sexual, atravesada por un deseo inquieto y desasosegante para lo más íntimo heredado (el binarismo, la identidad del sujeto). Tras exponer mediante un análisis fílmico el malestar del chique mostrado en el film en la época de la decontención y caos endémico y sus nuevos miedos al género (Butler), este artículo defiende que la delicadeza del secreto y de lo cotidiano del chique, su transición de género se muestra como afirmación existencial. A la decisión existencial del chique de transformarse y pasar de nombrarse Aitor a nombrarse Lucía (afirmando así la indomable diversidad de lo humano), así como el gesto anti-especista constante del film (el humano no está por encima de otras especies) subyace un registro infrapolítico que anuncia una verdad ominosa: no hay identidad ni inclusividad humana, ni mero multi-especismo que pueda salvar al humano de la extinción masiva anunciada por el Antropoceno
Occurrence records, morphological data, and taxonomic voucher specimens for study of caraboid beetle (Coleoptera: Caraboidea) communities in early seral forests regenerating after wildfire, post-fire salvage logging, or commercial clearcuts in southwest Oregon
The composition of carabid beetle assemblages can be sensitive to forest structure and disturbance, making them a useful indicator taxon for understanding the effects of forest management. Early seral forests regenerating from even-aged timber harvests share some structural similarities with those regenerating from natural stand-replacing disturbances. However, the degree to which timber harvests emulate natural disturbance for biodiversity is poorly understood in many temperate forest regions, including the Pacific Northwest. In this study, we compared carabid beetle assemblages collected in pitfall traps from early seral forests regenerating from commercial clearcuts, stand-replacing wildfire, or post-fire salvage logging across a gradient in stand ages in the Klamath Ecoregion of southwest Oregon. To gain insight into functional differences among assemblages, we measured several morphological traits on species in our sample. Here, we present occurrence data for each carabid specimen observed in the study, including voucher specimens deposited in the Oregon State Arthropod Collection, and morphological trait data generated from these specimens
