Charles Bernstein’s Walter Benjamin, Among Other Things: Reading Experimental Writing. Ed. Georgina Colby
No full textKathy Acker
No full textKathy Acker’s body of work is one of the most significant collections of experimental writing in English. In Kathy Acker: Writing the Impossible, Georgina Colby explores the compositional processes and intricate experimental practices Acker employed in her work, from early poetic exercises written in the 1970s to her final writings in 1997. Through original archival research, Colby traces the stages in Acker’s compositional processes and draws on her knowledge of Acker’s unpublished manuscripts, notebooks, essays, illustrations, and correspondence to produce new ways of reading Acker’s works. Rather than treating Acker as a postmodern writer this book argues that Acker continued a radical modernist engagement with the crisis of language, and carried out a series of experiments in composition and writing that are comparable in scope and rigor to her modernist predecessors Stein and Joyce. Each chapter focuses on a particular compositional method and insists on the importance of avant-garde experiment to the process of making new non-conventional modes of meaning. Combining close attention to the form of Acker’s experimental writings with a consideration of the literary cultures from which she emerged, Colby positions Acker as a key figure in the American avant-garde, and a pioneer of contemporary experimental women’s writing.</p
Gene loss and lineage specific restriction-modification systems associated with niche differentiation in the Campylobacter jejuni Sequence Type 403 clonal complex
No full textCampylobacter jejuni is a highly diverse species of bacteria commonly associated with infectious intestinal disease of humans and zoonotic carriage in poultry, cattle, pigs, and other animals. The species contains a large number of distinct clonal complexes that vary from host generalist lineages commonly found in poultry, livestock, and human disease cases to host-adapted specialized lineages primarily associated with livestock or poultry. Here, we present novel data on the ST403 clonal complex of C. jejuni, a lineage that has not been reported in avian hosts. Our data show that the lineage exhibits a distinctive pattern of intralineage recombination that is accompanied by the presence of lineage-specific restriction-modification systems. Furthermore, we show that the ST403 complex has undergone gene decay at a number of loci. Our data provide a putative link between the lack of association with avian hosts of C. jejuni ST403 and both gene gain and gene loss through nonsense mutations in coding sequences of genes, resulting in pseudogene formation

A Queer Response to Caroline Bergvall’s Hyphenated Practice: Towards an Interdependent Model of Reading
No full textWhen literary critics approach highly experimental works, we are confronted with a problem: it is not always clear to us what the work means. Readers of such work may find themselves bereft. We don’t know what to do when we open a book and find texts like the one reproduced on the front cover of Reading Experimental Writing, from Caroline Bergvall’s Drift. Have a look. What do you see? I see very narrow lines in the shape of a stanza, and at fi rst don’t realise I am looking at a drawing. Is this a drawing of unreadable lines of text? There are lots and lots of lines in this section that is called ‘LINES’ but doesn’t name itself as such until the penultimate page of the book.3 The question arises, what is a reader to do without language? Is there an alternative to feeling bereft of meaning? We are used to working hard, yes, but we expect that at some point the meaning of the work will become clear. If it does not, we imagine that the problem is outside of us. Despite decades-long debates about the death of the author, we feel her absence: the author has not offered us a clear path. But what has she offered? In this chapter, I argue that Caroline Bergvall’s ‘hyphenated practice’, experienced in the first pages of Drift as the juxtaposition of writing with drawing, calls for and models a new understanding of the relation between writer and reader, one that models what we can do when we fi d ourselves in the dark, when meaning is unclear, when we don’t know how to find our wa

South Georgina Basin Traverses Sandover, Marqua (P200080), gravity point data
No full textMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: This South Georgina Basin Traverses Sandover, Marqua (P200080), gravity point data contains ground gravity point data for the South Georgina Basin Traverses Sandover, Marqua (P200080) survey acquired for Haines Surveys Pty Ltd. This dataset contains a total of 654 point data values. The data is located in NT and were acquired in 2000. The point located data were collected in traverses layout at a station spacing between 500 and 1000 metres.
Terrain corrections were calculated using the INTREPID Geophysics software package. The processed data are checked by GA geophysicists using standard methods for assessing quality to ensure that the final data are fit-for-purpose.
All data are provided in EPSG:4283 coordinates, Australian Height Datum (AHD) and gravity datum of AAGD07. The units are degrees, meters, and micrometres per second squared, respectively.
