    Zanoni 1867: an experimental construction

    No full text
    The loss of the Zanoni in South Australian waters in 1867 is intriguing for a number of reasons. Why did a vessel only sixteen months old capsize in the reasonably sheltered Gulf of St Vincent? With all crew surviving and furnishing the South Australian Government with a good description of its location, why were the Marine Board and other searchers unable to find the wreck? For archaeologists the Zanoni is a rare representative of a 'composite' constructed vessel, and it is currently the only example of this type of nineteenth- century construction to have been found in Australian waters in relatively good condition. From artefacts recovered from the site, it is also apparent that the possessions and equipment of the crew are still on board as they were unable to save anything when the barque capsized and sank during a storm. The material evidence of ships' crews is often difficult to distinguish in the archaeological record, and the Zanoni offers a rare chance to study aspects of shipboard life in detail

    Post-Diversity, Precarious Work for All: Unmaking borders to govern labour in the Amazon warehouse

    No full text
    This paper investigates the (un)making of borders as a form of labour governmentality in one of Amazon's warehouses in Poland. Guided by a critical theory of borders as a form of labour governmentality under global capitalism, we identify organizational practices through which socio-demographic categories traditionally deployed as principles of organizing work (e.g., gender, age, ability) are unmade: the management of deskilled labour through an algorithmic system, the non-selective hiring of workers, the enforcement of social norms of interpersonal respect and a universal system of casualized employment. Together, these practices constitute workers as undifferentiated, interchangeable and equal labour, let them compete with each other under harshly exploitative conditions, and continuously dispose of the least productive among them, keeping all in structural uncertainty. The study contributes to the critical diversity literature by showing a 'post-diversity' governmentality that rests on equality, competition and precarization of labour as a whole, rather than segregation and marginalization through an 'ideal worker' norm. This labour governmentality operates by eliciting consent from historically subordinated workers and eliminating the advantage of historically relatively privileged ones. Unmaking borders within labour inside the organization, this governmentality at the same time crucially rests on borders outside it.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: We would like to acknowledge the funding Patrizia Zanoni received from the Flemish Research Fund (FWO), grant no.

    Infrared Microscopy Study of Anomalous Latchup Characteristics Due To Current Redistribution In Different Parasitic Paths

    No full text
    Anomalous effects such as abrupt variations of the latchup current in steady-state conditions and window effects, i.e. the existence of a well-defined interval of I/O injected currents for latchup to occur, can occur during pulsed latchup tests. Infrared microscopy allows the correlation of electrical characteristics with latchup current distribution and reveals that anomalous effects are due to the dynamic competition between different latchup paths. This is confirmed by a SPICE simulation of the lumped equivalent circuit of a CMOS output comprising two coupled p-n-p-n parasitic structure

    «Due fontane che di diverso effetto hanno liquore»: l’intertestualità in traduzione. Il caso ‘Zanoni’ di E. G. Bulwer-Lytton (1842)

    No full text
    This article deals with the all-but-forgotten literary reception of a Victorian author, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who became famous in the nineteenth century in Italy thanks to the translations by Francesco Cusani, a famous historian of that period. Then, the author will be compared to the translator, according to the most recent studies in translational stylistics and intertextuality, focusing on the novel Zanoni (1842), translated by Cusani in 1848.L’articolo illustra la fortuna letteraria avuta dall’autore vittoriano oggi poco frequentato, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, che divenne celebre nell’Italia dell’Ottocento grazie alle traduzioni dello storico, Francesco Cusani. Si procederà, dunque, ad un confronto tra autore e traduttore, secondo i più recenti studi in stilistica traduttiva e intertestualità, focalizzando l’attenzione sulla produzione del romanzo Zanoni (1842), tradotto dal Cusani nel 1848
