Family frames of the Russo-Ukrainian war in contemporary Ukrainian literature
Full text linkThe article aims to investigate the aspects of family relationships in contemporary prose about the Russo-Ukrainian war (with a focus on the 2014-2021 period of the ongoing war). The novels Daughter (2019) by Tamara Horikha Zernia, The Orphanage (2017) by Serhiy Zhadan and Amadoka (2020) by Sofia Andrukhovych are interpreted through the methodological lens of memory, trauma and resilience studies. Using Tamara Hundorova’s concept of the post-Chornobyl library, the author tries to approach the theorisation of (post-)traumatic writing about the war. The analysis of the novels highlights the intersections between family frames and memory of political violence. These texts suggest that family can foster both discontinuity and resilience. Finally, working through a difficult past and bearing witness to the challenging present presupposes memory of the Russo-Ukrainian war in the future

Eriocaulon insectum, a new species of Eriocaulaceae from Cape York, Queensland: Eriocaulon insectum, a new species of Eriocaulaceae
No full textA new species of pipewort (Eriocaulon; Eriocaulaceae) from Cape York, Queensland was recently discovered. Eriocaulon insectum Baleeiro & R.W.Jobson is distinguished from all other species by its golden-brown inflorescence head having female flowers with large, winged sepals with two black spots, and four black, exerted stamens, with male sepals as a spathe, and seeds with 3–5 hyaline, T-shaped peg-like projections.

Full text link(Re)Localisation: Off-Site Exhibitions and Post-Internet Sacrality after Civilising Rituals by Carol Duncan
Full text linkCarol Duncan’s seminal text Civilising Rituals (1995) considers state museums as active, ritualized settings of social performance through analysis of their historical development. Following Duncan’s thesis, this essay shall introduce the concept of ‘off-site’ projects, which construct their own paradigm of sacrality by restaging art outside of institutional contexts. Since the 2020-2021 lockdowns, alternative curatorial platforms have begun to emerge online which utilise such strategies to reclaim collective autonomy. As a proto-case study, I shall begin with ‘The Kitchen Show’ (1991) by Hans Ulrich Obrist, to discuss how this earlier ‘relational turn’ anticipated a more recent tendency towards self-organization. Further, I aim to examine how these initiatives appropriate museological structures whilst displacing them. 
Malory's Launcelot and Guinevere abed togydirs
Full text linkIn Malory's account of the ambush of Launcelot in Guinevere's chamber he obliquely denies the authority of his sources:For, as the Freynshhe booke seyth, the quene and sir Launcelot were k>gydirs. And whether they were abed other at other maner of disportis, me lyste nat thereof make no mencion, for love that tyme was nat as love ysnowadayes.Both his sources put Launcelot and Guinevere abed, but Malory says he prefers not to discuss the matter ('me lyste nat thereof make no mencion'); instead he links the lovers' activities here with the love he anatomizes, however cumbersomely, at the beginning of 'The Knight of the Cart' episode:But the olde love was nat so. For men and women coude love togydirs seven yerys, and no lycoures lustis was betwyxte them, and than was love trouthe and faythefulnes. And so in lyke wyse was used such love in kynge Arthurs dayes.
