No full textWhere Is Utopia in a Time of Disaster and Catastrophe? A Conversation with Allegra Hyde
No full textIn search of new literary voices that might present an answer to Amitav Ghosh’s 2016 lament on the failure of contemporary literary fiction to find forms that adequately express the multiple challenges of the Anthropocene, I came across a review of Allegra Hyde’s debut novel in the Los Angeles Times. The novel’s title, Eleutheria, was suggestive enough to pique my interest: etymologically, it evokes the concepts of liberty and freedom; geographically, it calls to mind the small island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas that was colonized in the late 1640s by a group of English Puritans known as the Eleutheran Adventurers. Add to this that Willa Marks, the novel’s narrator-protagonist, is a twenty-two-year-old member of Generation Z, the same generation as the students we teach these days, and Eleutheria (2022) becomes a worthy candidate for an American Studies syllabus. What kind of narrative tapestry was the author able to weave out of the materials of history, climate change, and a young generation’s growing frustration with the ecological and political state of the world? I was ready to discuss these and similar questions with a group of students in a seminar on Anglophone Literature in the Anthropocene during the summer semester 2023. Serendipitously, the son of an American colleague and long-time friend studied with Allegra Hyde at Oberlin College, where she is Assistant Professor of Creative Writing. He suggested that she might be willing to discuss her novel with a group of German students. When I issued the invitation to join us digitally for one session, she accepted. I interviewed Hyde, who is also the author of two short story collections – Of This New World (2016) and The Last Catastrophe (2023)– a few days later. The following text is the transcript of that conversation. It has been edited for readability
Opposite responses of mesolimbic dopamine system to controllable and incontrollable aversive experiences
No full textAbstract It has been previously shown that rodents exposed to stressful experiences show a
biphasic response of the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system, that is, initial increase of DA
release followed by a decrease below control levels (Puglisi-Allegra et al., 1991). Evidence
is now presented showing that mice exposed to a series of foot shocks show an increase of
DA release in the nucleus accumbens septi (NAS) if they are allowed to control the shock
experience (shocked condition) and a decrease of DA release in this brain area if they are ..

Chain statistics in polyethylene crystallization
No full textThe molecular mechanism of polyethylene crystallization in solution is revisited within the framework of the bundle model [Allegra G, Meille SV. Adv Polym Sci 2005;191:87]. Previous SANS/IANS results [Sadler DM, Keller A. Science 1979;203:263; Spells SJ, Sadler DM. Polymer 1984;25:739; Stamm M, Fischer EW, Dettenmaier M, Convert P. Faraday Disc Chem Soc 1979;68:263] from partially deuterated samples are used. It is proposed that the chain deposits on the growing lamella under the form of compact crystalline domains, their size being sqrt(Mw). The radius of gyration of the crystallized chain agrees with a model consisting of a linear sequence of crystalline domains connected by chain segments with random orientations. It is suggested that the whole chain is in a bundle meta-stable equilibrium and collapses in the vicinity of the growing lamellar edge, then crystallizing around secondary nuclei. Compactness of the crystalline domains is correlated to prior chain collapse in the liquid state. The observed proportionality to sqrt(Mw) of the crystalline domain size is approximately explained
