The pragmatic constructions of Deleuze, Guattari and Miles Davis
No full textThe aim of the following investigation is two-fold. Firstly, the project takes as its focus the growing corpus of secondary literature written on the work of the French philosophers and theorists Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, whose work has generated a great deal of
interest in recent years and a proportionate amount of controversy. Much of this controversy can be attributed to simplifications and misunderstandings on the part of
commentators who have in some instances neglected to approach Deleuze and Guattari with sufficent rigour and care, resulting in the perpetuation of so many misunderstandings regarding their work.
Secondly, the project will seek to redress some of these misunderstandings by recourse to a pragmatic embodiment of Deleuze and Guattari's concepts and ideas through a case-study based on the life and work of the African-American jazz musician Miles Davis. In attempting to provide a new and challenging case as the basis for this investigation, the overriding aim is to assess the pragmatic remit of Deleuze and Guattari's thought, in terms of aesthetics, ethics and politics, whilst remaining sensitive to the potential limitations and dangers of their project
THE ECONOMICS OF GRAIN PRODUCER CARTELS
No full textThe objective of this study is to measure economic payoffs from a grain cartel. Two basic approaches to extract economic rents are considered: (i) Mandatory supply controls to restrict production and raise grain price, and (2) export price discrimination using export taxes or subsidies. The economic impacts of different producer cartel scenarios were estimated using a long-term, nine-region world trade simulation model incorporating the assumptions of neoclassical trade theory. The SWOPSIM program was used to write the model equations. Economic Research Service trade data for 1989 were used to initialize the model. Results reflect long-run changes from 1989conditions and are at 1989 general price levels. The model simultaneously estimated outcomes in markets for nine commodities: beef, pork, poultry meat, wheat, corn, coarse grains (other than corn), oilseeds (soybeans, rapeseed, and sunflower seed), oilmeal, and sugar. Cross-effects among commodities and input-output relationships between field crop and livestock production are accounted for by substitution and complementary coefficients in behavioral equations. Countries and groups of countries included in the model are Australia, Canada, the European Community (EC), European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the United States (US), Japan, and the rest of the world (ROW). The simulation results report the consequences of restricting only US grain production (wheat, corn, and other coarse grains) from 5 to 20% below the 1989 production level. Grain supply restrictions were presumed to be mandatory, hence taxpayers incurred no additional outlays over those in 1989 . World price increases were modest for wheat, but greater for corn and other coarse grains in part because of differences in market share among grains. US consumers of grain and grain products buy less at higher prices and are worse off, as is the country as a whole. Consumer surplus falls nearly 7 billion in rents they collect from current programs. It seems unlikely that a producer group would risk gains of this size for the prospect of cartel rents a sixth the size or less from international markets. Gains to US producers are less for a wheat cartel than for either the feed grain cartel or for the wheat-feed grain cartel included herein. The unfavorable outcomes originate from the export demand for US wheat made highly elastic by opportunities to substitute feed grain for wheat in production and consumption especially in the long run. That is, a high wheat price and controlled production of wheat encourages importers to produce wheat, cut back feed grain production, and import low-cost feed grains.Crop Production/Industries, International Relations/Trade,
PROFINITE AND DISCRETE G-SPECTRA AND ITERATED HOMOTOPY FIXED POINTS
No full textAbstract. In chromatic homotopy theory, given K ⊳ G < Gn, closed subgroups of the extended Morava stabilizer group Gn, and the Lubin-Tate spectrum En, which carries an action by Gn, the problem of understanding both the homotopy fixed point spectra of En for the actions of K and G and the relationship between these two spectra is multifaceted. Let EdhG n be the construction of Devinatz-Hopkins that behaves like continuous homotopy fixed points, and let EhG n and Eh ′ G n be the continuous homotopy fixed points in the settings of profinite G-spectra and continuous G-spectra, respectively. Then there is (a) the strongly convergent Adams-type spectral sequence of Devinatz with abutment π∗(EdhG n) and E2-term the continuous cohomology Hs c (G/K; πt(EdhK n)); (b) a descent spectral sequence abutting to π∗(Eh ′ G n) with E2-term Hs c (G/K; πt(Eh ′ K n)); (c) the iterated continuous homotopy fixed points (Eh ′ K n) h ′ G/K; and (d) equivalences EdhG n ≃ Eh ′ G n ≃ EhG n. This rich situation motivates various natural questions about the existence of certain constructions and interrelations. In this paper, we establish some connections between the aforementioned notions of homotopy fixed points and give various sets of sufficient conditions for the existence of well-behaved iterated continuous homotopy fixed points in the profinite setting. Our results yield the following answers to the questions referred to above. First, we prove that EhK n is a profinite G/K-spectrum. This result shows that in the profinite setting (EhK n)hG/K exists, and we show that it is just EhG n. Also, we complete the story begun by (a)–(d) and our justdescribed answers by proving that there is a continuous homotopy fixed point spectral sequence with abutment π∗(EhG n) and E2-term Hs c (G/K; πt(EhK n)) that is isomorphic to the spectral sequences of (a) and (b). Our proof of well-behaved iteration for En in the profinite setting possesses a technical simplicity in a certain aspect that is not enjoyed by the corresponding proofs in the settings of Devinatz-Hopkins (where G/K must be finite) and continuous G-spectra. 1
AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIALIZATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
No full textAgricultural industrialization and sustainable development issues are important contemporary areas of debate. This paper argues that the two processes are a consequence of a set of forces operating in our global system. It outlines a number of conceptual interactions between the two phenomena and examines economic development and sustainable development policy implications that appear to be logical extensions of the arguments presented.Agricultural industrialization, Sustainable agricultural development, Development assistance, Human capital, Market and policy failures, Public policy, Environmental Economics and Policy, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies,
Ethnic identity, political identity and ethnic conflict: simulating the effect of congruence between the two identities on ethnic violence and conflict
No full textThis thesis outlines and presents an alternative hypothetical process to the emergence of ethnic conflict. Ethnic conflicts, rather than being dependent upon pre-existing 'ancient hatreds', are instead the result of a congruence between ethnic and political identity which grants individuals the ability to use ethnicity to identify and eliminate political threats. This hypothesis is formed by the examination of three case studies of ethnic conflict: Lebanon, Northern Ireland and Croatia. This hypothesis is then formalised and tested using an agent based simulation in which agent interactions are dependent upon ethnic and political identity and the congruence between the two. As predicted there was a strong positive correlation between how accurately ethnic identity reflected political identity and the level of ethnically motivated violence in the simulation, although the relationship was not linear. Furthermore the effect of a shift in congruence was found to be roughly comparable to the effect of initialising agents with a moderate level of pre-existing ethnic antagonism
