No full textJacques De Cock, Marat, prophet of the Terror ?
Jacques De Cock wants to rectify several commonly-held ideas. From December 1792 to 2 June 1793, Marat manifested a considerable moderation in order to show that the attacks of the Girondin against him took the place of a provocation towards the entire Mountain. Marat lived in the Cordeliers district but did not belong to the club. He was often critical of the issues around which the Cordeliers mobilized : the maximum, dechristianization. Finally, his conception of executive power was very original ; there never was a good executive power, even a republican one. This is why it was necessary for himm to concentrate on the maximum in order that it be submitted to the maximal vigilance of the legislative power.Jacques de Cock, Marat, profeta del Terrore ?
J. D. vuole rettificare parecchi preconcetti. Da dicembre 1792 al 2 giugno 1793, Marat manifesto una grande moderazione per provare che gli attachi della Gironde a se dipendevano dalla provocazione riguardo all'intera Montagna. Marat abitava nel distretto dei Cordiglieri ma pure non appartenne al club. Critico spesso ciò che mobilitava i Cordiglieri : il massimo, la scristianizzazione. Fu anche originale il suo concetto del potere esecutivo, anche repubblicano ; ecco perché occore concentrare quello al massimo affinché sia sottoposto alla massima vigilanza del potere legislativo.Jacques de Cock, Marat, prophète de la Terreur ?

Occupying the museum: Denkmal 53 at Tate Modern
No full textOne of two major essays in the two volume catalogue of the recent work of the Belgian artist Jan de Cock. It makes a study of the large installations at Tate Modern, summer 2005 using the Freudian concept of object-cathexis in order to analyse the work’s libidinous and aggressive attachment to the museum as an institution and as a specific set of spaces. It compares de Cock’s strategies to those of Donald Judd and Marcel Broodthers.
This essay is significant for showing how the concept of cathexis can be widely applied across architecture and sculpture. It is original in the sense that it is the only existing analysis of de Cock’s work to use a psychoanalytic methodology. It is executed with rigour in that the essay stems from discussions between the author and the artist that were modelled on clinical psychoanalytic practice. There is also a high degree of originality through input from the author and the artist, particularly in the way in which the text is located throughout the book as an ‘unconscious text’, that appears in all the other texts on de Cock’s work, and then wraps around the cover of the book to name it, before returning to the status of subtext (thus the 127 pages).
The book is a unique and highly creative encounter between author and artists that initiates new forms of expression and dialogue to graphically and temporally capture the ‘pulsation of the unconscious’ (Lacan, Four Fundamentals of Psychoanalysis). This process opens up the text to visual and spatial displacements that act as homologues to the functioning of the conscious and unconscious ambitions of the artist.

Valvaminor jacerda new species is similar to several species of Valvaminor with the thorax orangered: V. inconspicuata sensu Cerda, V. davisi, V. pyrrha, V. bleuzeni, and V. pyrrhina. Cerda (2008) recognized two species resembling V. pyrrha in French Guiana, referring to one as Mesothen pyrrha (now V. pyrrha) and the other as M. inconspicuata (now V. inconspicuata). However, we have examined the type of V. inconspicuata (MGCL, ♀ British Guiana) (see also Hampson 1914, pl. 7.22), and it does not appear to be the same as the species Cerda (2008, 2020a) treats under this name. Although it is possible that this reflects sexual dimorphism, to avoid any ambiguity we refer to inconspicuata sensu Cerda.. Valvaminor jacerda new species has a few orange scales at the base of the dorsal forewing. Cerda (2020a) noted that the base of the dorsal forewing is orange in V. pyrrha and V. davisi, but not in V. bleuzeni, V. inconspicuata sensu Cerda and V. pyrrhina. The forecoxae of V. jacerda new species are dull black, shaded white on the inner margin and more strongly at the base of the outer margin, whereas in V. inconspicuata sensu Cerda they are completely white, in V. pyrrhina they are partly white and in V. bleuzeni, V. pyrrha and V. davisi they are dull black (Schaus 1889, Cerda 2020a). The flap covering the basal ventral abdomen of the male (Hampson’s valve) is grey mixed with white in V. jacerda new species, but dull black in the other species considered here (Schaus 1889, Cerda 2020a). Cerda (2020a) illustrates the male genitalia of all Valvaminor spp., but does not discuss the differences. The genitalia of V. jacerda new species, V. inconspicuata sensu Cerda, and V. bleuzeni are more or less symmetrical, whereas the genitalia of the other Valvaminor species with the thorax orange are asymmetrical. Valvaminor jacerda new species is the only species with a dorsolateral projection that is wider distally than basally. Description. Male. Figs. 25, 27, 28. Head. Dorsally dark grey-black, with partially obscured small white patch posterior to antennae. Frons white shaded to dull grey-black in centre. Cheeks behind eyes white. Antennae strongly bipectinate; black, except for a white preapical patch on outer half, followed by brown apex on outer half. Labial palps black, with a very narrow white ring around the base of segments 2 and 3. Thorax. Orange dorsally on prothorax and mesothorax, with admixture of grey-black scales. Patagia orange with grey-black scales mixed in; long grey-black scales project distally. Prothorax anterior to wings orange, remainder grey-black. Metathorax dull grey-black, with a short white bar dorsally. Legs grey black with white markings as follows. Foreleg: coxa grey, white basal streak on outer anterior margin, and narrowly white on inner anterior margin; first tarsal segment weakly white on outer surface. Midleg: trochanter white posteriorly; tibia weakly white in basal portion on outer surface; first tarsal segment as foreleg. Hindleg: coxa and trochanter white on posterior surface; tibia weakly white in extreme basal portion on outer surface. Forewing. Transparent with sharply defined black margin, veins and a notch at tornus; a few orange scales at base on dorsal surface; fringe black. Hindwing. also transparent with sharply defined black margin, and veins; fringe black with some white scales in basal half of inner margin. Abdomen. Dorsally dull grey, extending further laterally in posterior half; a narrow white dorsal line to the end of abdominal segment 1; ventral flap (Hampson’s valve) extends to end of segment 5, dull grey, with a strong overlay of white scales along lateral and posterior margins, but attenuating towards centre which is free of white scales; remainder of abdomen dark grey-black, except for white line alongside and under edge of ventral plate, extending to just beyond the posterior margin of the ventral flap. Genitalia. Fig. 28. The structure is similar to those of other members of the genus (Cerda 2008, 2020a, Fig. 24). They are more or less symmetrical; the uncus is robust, downturned and distally bifurcate, the claspers are placed sub-ventrally, small and deeply divided, and there is a diagnostic dorsolateral projection, which is narrower at the base than distally (Fig. 28 C and D). Female. Fig. 26. Almost identical to male, except the antennae are simple and biflagellate, there is no ventral flap on the abdomen, and the white ventrolateral lines of the abdomen are thereby sharply marked and conspicuous. Genitalia not examined. Variability. There is evidence of some variability in the material examined, and the type series has been restricted to those specimens matching the description above. The white dorsal line on the abdomen is variable in length, and may extend onto abdominal segment 2. One male (NMS 10013351) has the basal half of the forecoxa mostly white; three males (NMS 10013342, NMS 10013351, NMS 10013378) have the ventral surface of the palpi more extensively white, two males (NMS 10013324, NMS 10013351) have the ventral flap of the abdomen mostly white; these are all listed above under ‘ Other material examined’. One male from a series of three collected in Monagas State, Venezuela, seems to be a distinct morph, resembling V. jacerda new species apart from having no orange colour on the thorax (Fig. 29). Distribution. Currently only known from the island of Trinidad (Trinidad & Tobago) and Monagas and Merida States, Venezuela. A photograph of a male from Tobago is expected to represent this species, but as the diagnostic features are not visible, this locality needs confirmation. Etymology. The specific name is based on the initials and surname of Jean-Aimé Cerda, in recognition of his valuable work on the Euchromina and Ctenuchina of French Guiana. It should be treated as a noun in apposition. Remarks. In Trinidad, adults of both sexes are attracted to drying Heliotropium by day and to light by night. This is a common and widespread species in lowland areas of Trinidad. To the best of our knowledge, there is only this one species of this appearance in Trinidad. However, although MJWC has documented specimens in several collections during his studies of the Trinidad Euchromina, most of these have not been re-examined for this study, and available images are not adequate to assess the diagnostic features. Accordingly, this material listed above, is excluded from the type series, even though we expect it to be conspecific.Published as part of Cock, Matthew J.

Global expression analysis of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus (Phaeophyceae) reveals large-scale reprogramming of the transcriptome in response to abiotic stress
No full textDittami SM, Scornet D, Petit J-L, et al. Global expression analysis of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus (Phaeophyceae) reveals large-scale reprogramming of the transcriptome in response to abiotic stress. Genome Biology. 2009;10(6):R66.Background: Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are phylogenetically distant from red and green algae and an important component of the coastal ecosystem. They have developed unique mechanisms that allow them to inhabit the intertidal zone, an environment with high levels of abiotic stress. Ectocarpus siliculosus is being established as a genetic and genomic model for the brown algal lineage, but little is known about its response to abiotic stress. Results: Here we examine the transcriptomic changes that occur during the short term acclimation of E. siliculosus to three different abiotic stress conditions (hyposaline, hypersaline and oxidative stress). Our results show that almost 70% of the expressed genes are regulated in response to at least one of these stressors. Although there are several common elements with terrestrial plants, such as repression of growth-related genes, switching from primary production to protein and nutrient recycling processes, and induction of genes involved in vesicular trafficking, many of the stress-regulated genes are either not known to respond to stress in other organisms or are have been found exclusively in E. siliculosus. Conclusions: This first large-scale transcriptomic study of a brown alga demonstrates that, unlike terrestrial plants, E. siliculosus undergoes extensive reprogramming of its transcriptome during the acclimation to mild abiotic stress. We identify several new genes and pathways with a putative function in the stress response and thus pave the way for more detailed investigations of the mechanisms underlying the stress tolerance of brown algae
Efecto del método de siembra in vitro sobre la actividad fungistática de weissella confusa
No full textActualmente hay interés en el uso de bacterias ácidolácticas (BAL) como controladores biológicos, debido a que además de producir compuestos antimicrobianos, también son capaces de producir metabolitos secundarios antifúngicos. Se ha encontrado actividad anti-microbiana, fungistática y fungicida de BAL del género Weissella (Mauch et al., 2010), sin embargo, no se reporta un método de siembra idóneo para cuantificar la actividad fungistática de estas bacterias contra hongos fitopatógenos. Por lo anterior, en esta investigación se evaluaron in vitro, los efectos del método de siembra y la distancia de siembra sobre la actividad fungistática de Weissella confusa contra Fusarium solani
