Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative
Oral history interview with Jason Poudrier
No full textJason Poudrier, author, discusses growing up in a military family and living in Alaska, North Dakota, Oregon, and finally Oklahoma. He describes what it was like enlisting in the Army after high school in 2001 and how his military service affected him. A recipient of the Purple Heart, he shares his experiences getting injured by shrapnel in Iraq. He later talks about how he uses poetry and writing to cope with his memories of war, and how he hopes to help others do the same.The Deep Roots: Oklahoma Authors Collection is a series of interviews with authors who discuss their lives, work, and creative processes

The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298
Ep. #085 - Jason W. Moore
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk capital and Vanilla Isis and then (11:21) we welcome to the podcast the one and only Jason W. Moore from Binghamton University, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015) and Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (PM Press, 2016). We chat with Jason about his most recent work, co-authored with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (U California Press, 2017), forthcoming this October. We talk about why he wanted to write a book for a broader audience, the problems with the “anthropocene” concept in the human sciences, how “capitalocene” can improve our thinking about world history, and how we can avoid vulgar materialism in critical environmental research and activism today. We cover the role that states and agriculture have played in shaping modern capitalism and Jason calls for a seriously engaged pluralism to tackle the urgent challenges of our era. We discuss the cheapening or thingification of life, capitalism as a gravitational field, the importance of frontiers, the violence of the Great Domestication, and why if green energy remains in the mode of “cheap fuel” nothing will change about capitalist accumulation. Jason explains why racial and gender domination are so often lacunae in critiques of petromodernity. Finally we ruminate on how to unmake the capitalist world-ecology and the key principles of the “reparation ecology” that Jason and his colleagues are calling for. Tired of the debate within the left about whether to prioritize jobs or the environment? Then you’ll want to listen on

(DDG 109) concluded their participation in a two-week sleep study, Dec. 17.

Joint Region Marianas Energy Analysis: Military Consumption, Conservation & Renewable Energy on Guam
Full text linkThe Department of the Navy (DON)
has taken great strides to decrease its facilities’
energy consumption in order to meet
Federal and Department of Defense (DOD)
energy conservation initiatives. In response
to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the
Energy Independence and Security Act of
2007 the U.S. Navy has made it a priority to
decrease its consumption of oil and fossil-fuel
generated energy. Among other initiatives,
the Navy is currently working towards a goal
to reduce shore-based energy consumption
by 50 percent, to generate half of shore-based
energy requirements by alternative sources,
and to achieve net zero status for half of all its
installations by 2020. These strategic goals,
ultimately, enable the Navy, Department of
Defense, and the U.S. to move towards energy
independence and to operate in a more
sustainable manner.
In an effort to meet DON Goals,
the Joint Region Marianas (JRM) has implemented
an energy conservation program that
has included an energy awareness campaign,
energy conservation retrofits on less efficient
facilities, and the introduction of minor
amounts of renewable energy applications.
Despite these efforts, however, the region has
seen only modest improvements in energy
use intensity. Additionally, region-wide gross
floor area has increased by almost 15 percent
from FY03 and the region-wide energy
consumption has increased by approximately
eight percent within the same time period.
This report provides a high-level
analysis of JRM energy consumption over a

21st Century,” 6-10.
ten year period, a detailed analysis of consumption
trends by facility type, and identifies
specific buildings that currently consume
excess energy; resulting in a potential energy
savings to the region of approximately 85
million KWh. Additionally, this report
analyzes potential partnership opportunities
with Guam Power Authority (GPA) as well as
other strategies to increase the generation of
renewables both on-base and off-base in order
to meet DON strategic energy reduction
goals. The analysis is broken down into four
primary sections: current energy consumption
patterns, detailed facility type analysis, energy
conservation and savings potential, and
renewable strategies.Submitted by Stacy Harwood ([email protected]) on 2013-08-04T23:44:02Z

An Interview with Cass R. Sunstein: Author of The World According to Star Wars
No full textThe guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes
