    Why so many different stones? The Late (Upper) Palaeolithic record of Sindh reconsidered

    No full text
    The research carried out in Sindh during the last forty years, and the study of the chipped stone assemblages stored in Karachi University collections, show that Late (Upper) Palaeolithic complexes are known from at least five regions of Sindh. Most sites are located close to good quality raw material outcrops and freshwater sources. Their precise chronology is often difficult to define because they consist mainly of surface lithic scatters or workshops from which datable material is missing. The chipped stone industries of the Late (Upper) Palaeolithic of Sindh are easy to distinguish from those of the Middle Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods because of their techno-typological characteristics. The assemblages from the southernmost part of Lower Sindh are represented by typical implements, among which are curved backed points retouched from blade-like flakes that are known also from other parts of the Indian Subcontinent. Lithic workshops are very common in the Rohri, Ongar and Daphro Hills

    Long-run heterogeneity in an exchange economy with fixed-mix traders

    No full text
    We consider an exchange economy where agents have heterogeneous beliefs and assets are long-lived, and investigate the coupled dynamics of asset prices and agents’ wealth. We assume that agents hold fixed-mix portfolios and invest on each asset proportionally to its expected dividends. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a sequence of arbitrage-free market equilibrium prices and provide sufficient conditions for an agent, or a group of agents, to survive or dominate. Our main finding is that long-run coexistence of agents with heterogeneous beliefs, leading to asset prices endogenous fluctuations, is a generic outcome of the market selection process

    Fiction of Left-Wing Writers: Between Ideological Commitment and Aesthetic Dedication

    No full text
    The chapter deals with left-wing writers Jiang Guangci, Ye Zi, Rou Shi, Zhang Tianyi, Xiao Hong, Xiao Jun, and Sha Ting, active in the 1930s China. They all shared a common view and sense of personal engagement in the dramatic landscape of China's socio-economic and political crisis and were all encouraged and inspired by Chinese intellectual Lu Xun. Nevertheless, in their literary creation, they show distinct features in terms of theoretical approach, style, and perspective, from the early romanticization of the revolutionary theme to the lucid representation of social needs; from the author's subjective commitment to the critical awareness of moral responsibility in literature and art; from the lyrical and psychological depiction to the satirical exposition of reality
