What comes after sovereignty?
No full textThis paper addresses the question of sovereignty from a perspective that connects the origins of public international law, with a series of onto-theological assumptions about the nature of place that were decisive in the emergence of modern colonialism. It will argue that insofar as sovereignty depends on some form of transcendence, external or internal, it is and has been ‘’impotent’’ from the very outset. However, contrary to the idea expressed in the well-known tale about the emperor’s new clothes, it is not the case that acknowledgement of this impotence would entail the end of sovereignty. Faced with the truth of its ultimate impotence, the sovereign supplements its role as decider with that of the intrigant. This new figure of sovereignty is embodied in the expert politician who announces the coming catastrophe in order to avert it, or contain it, through the use of ‘’limited’’ but ultimately borderless violence

JESUS THE BORDERLANDER: HYBRIDITY AS SURVIVAL STRATEGY AND MODEL FOR POLITICAL CHANGE——A CULTURAL REPRESENTATION FROM THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
LETICIA AÍDA GUARDIOLA-SÁENZ
Dissertation under the direction of Professor Fernando F. Segovia
Since the 1970’s the face of biblical studies in general and Johannine studies in particular has been changing. The long-standing historical method——with its universal and objective reader——has been particularly challenged by the presence of the real reader——culturally and politically positioned——advanced by cultural studies.
As real reader myself——Mexican-American woman from the Two-Thirds World——reading from the perspective of cultural studies, my aim in this project is to construct an alternative Johannine representation of Jesus as a hybrid being, a borderlander, which can operate as a postcolonial
strategy of survival and as a model for political change.
To establish the grounds for such hybrid Jesus I examine in chapter one the theories of representation used by Johannine scholarship to prove how all representations, even those considered objective, are inevitably political and
culturally conditioned.
In chapter two I survey cultural studies as my methodological foundation, highlighting its political background as an academic endeavor committed to social transformation. I define my hybrid identity as my hermeneutical lens and reading strategy.
In chapter three I offer my representation of Jesus by analyzing first the Prologue of John, to map Jesus' hybrid identity as borderlander and second, the story of the Woman Accused of adultery, where Jesus offers an opportunity for
political transformation by breaking down the patriarchal discourse.
In chapter four I conclude with the political
ramifications of Jesus' hybridity as a strategy for survival and model for political change. In our postcolonial, hybrid world, surrounded by countless political and geographical border zones——such as the U.S.-Mexico borderland——interdependency and integration are not far from our reach if we are willing to understand the potential of liminal and third-spaces as privileged sites of hope for a better world
Digitogorgia brochi Zapata-Guardiola & López-González, 2010, sp. nov.
No full textDigitogorgia brochi sp. nov. Figures 8–12 Thouarella (Euthouarella) brucei, Broch, 1965: 27 –28, pl. 4, fig. 11–13. Material examined. Holotype: NHM B 969, “Brategg” Expedition, “Tromso-Tral 2 ”, 54 º 43 ’S, 60 º 14 ’W, Burdwood Bank, SubAntarctic, 111.5 m depth, 0 9 March 1948. Description of the holotype. Fragment of a colony (Figure 8 A), probably a main side branch, of 16 cm in total height and about 4.5 cm in width, with simple branchlets (Figure 8 B) up to 3cm in length arising all around the branch forming a bottlebrush shape. Axis brown. Main side branch basal axis diameter 2.3 mm. Main stem basal axis diameter 2.9 mm. Polyps (Figure 9) on branchlets in whorls of 3, 4– 5 whorls per cm, directed upwards. Polyps relatively elongate, slightly clavate, about 1.6–2.2 mm in height and 0.6–0.8 mm in diameter. Polyp body with eight complete longitudinal rows of scales, those in adaxial rows slightly smaller. About 6–7 scales in each adaxial row (Figure 10 A) and 12–13 scales on each abaxial row (Figures 9 B, 10 C). Adaxial rows slightly disorganized basally, but without any reduction in number of rows (Figure 9). Accessory operculars (Figure 11 A) eight in number, 0.25–0.44 mm in height and 0.08–0.14 mm in width, more or less triangular and pointed. Proximal inner surface tuberculate, covering about 20–50 % of their length, distal inner surface smooth. Outer surface quite granular with several warts on the most proximal portion. Basal margin with digitate processes. Opercular scales (Figure 11 B) eight in number, 0.30–0.45 mm in height and 0.16–0.24 mm in width, more or less triangular or oval shaped. Proximal inner surface tuberculate, covering around half of their length, distal surface smooth without keel or thorn. Proximal outer surface granular with several warts on the most proximal part, distal portion quite smooth. Basal margin often with long digitate processes, free margin entire laterally but digitate apically. Marginal scales (Figure 11 C) eight in number, 0.33–0.43 mm in height and 0.23–0.46 mm in width, broad, oval shaped. Proximal inner surface tuberculate, covering up to 80 % of the length, distal inner surface smooth, without keel or thorn. Outer surface granular, most proximal part with several warts. Basal margin with long digitate processes, free margin entire laterally but digitate apically. Body scales (Figure 12 A) more-or-less oval to fan shape, 0.17–0.37 mm in height and 0.26–0.45 mm in width. Inner surface almost completely tuberculate, outer surface granular with several warts on the most proximal part. Free margin as in marginal scales. Coenenchymal sclerites (Figure 12 B) in two layers: outer layer with round, oval-shaped sclerites, 0.11– 0.24 mm in maximum length, inner surface tuberculate, outer surface granular or smooth, free margin entire or scalloped; inner layer with irregular tuberculate sclerites, 0.06–0.08 mm in maximum length. Geographic and bathymetric distribution. At present, Digitogorgia brochi sp. nov., has only been reported from Burdwood Bank, SubAntarctic (Figure 1), at a depth of 111.5 m. Etymology. This species is dedicated to Hjalmar Broch, in recognition of his contribution to our knowledge of octocorals. Remarks. The present material was initially identified by Broch (1965) as Thouarella brucei. This author had already found differences in the shape of the opercular and marginal scales between his specimen and the original description of Thomson’s and Ritchie’s species. Nevertheless, he attributed those differences to a possible contamination in Thomson’s and Ritchie’s sample, and placed his specimen in T. brucei. But it seems that Broch never saw any type specimens of T. brucei, as he only mentions the original description and drawings. The present study of a single specimen identified by Broch as Thouarella brucei from Burdwood Bank, and deposited at the NHM, shows a set of characters that is clearly different from that of the type material of T. brucei. This set of characters is: the polyps are arranged in whorls of three, the number of scales on each abaxial row is about 12 and distinct opercular and marginal scales are without a keel, while in T. brucei the polyps are singly placed in spirals around branchlets, the number of scales on each abaxial row is about 5 and opercular and marginal scales present a strong keel on their inner surface. Broch’s specimen, described above, has a bottlebrush colony shape, the scales are not reduced in the adaxial rows, there are eight marginal scales, without a keel, folding over the operculars and there are distinct, distal, pointed processes in opercular, marginal and body scales. Due to these characters it should be included in the genus Digitogorgia, as Digitogorgia brochi sp. nov. Till now the genus Digitogorgia only included one species, Digitogorgia kuekenthali. Digitogorgia kuekenthali and D. brochi differ in the number of scales in the abaxial row (8-9 scales in the former and 12-13 in the later), in the shape of the accessory opercular scales (more pointed in the former), the operculars (more elongate and multi-digitate in the former), and the marginals (with more developed and pointed processes in the latter). In general, the proximal, long processes in both polyp and coenenchymal sclerites and the presence of tubercles on the proximal outer surface are more pronounced in D. brochi.Published as part of Zapata-Guardiola, Rebeca & López-González, Pablo J., 2010, Redescription of Thouarella brucei Thomson and Ritchie, 1906 (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Primnoidae) and description of two new Antarctic primnoid species, pp. 48-68 in Zootaxa 2616 on pages 57-63, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19791
