Illegible echoes : Felix Gonzalez-Torres, the artist-spy
No full textArt leaves a mark, so thought Felix Gonzalez-Torres, but what kind of mark? Gonzalez-Torres aimed to revitalize this age-old quest within the visual arts by challenging it. He sought to achieve his aims by fabricating a permeable monument; by highlighting the issue of legacies in art; and by contaminating aesthetics with social and autobiographical allusions, while rejecting any direct correspondence between art and life. The following analysis examines key critical assessments of Gonzalez-Torres’s own legacy, but ultimately it shows how Gonzalez-Torres sought to fulfill his critical and artistic ambitions by forging a new attitude to memory in art. He assumed the stance of an artist-spy in order to forge an apprehensive approach to remembrance

Conceptuality in Relation: Sarah Franklin in Conversation with Silvia Posocco, Paul Boyce, and EJ Gonzalez-Polledo
No full textSarah Franklin in conversation with Silvia Posocco, Paul Boyce, and EJ Gonzalez-Polledo. In a conversation held in Cambridge in March 2018, Sarah Franklin reflects on the inspiration/influence that Marilyn Strathern’s work has exerted over her research trajectory and career at the intersections between anthropology, sociology, science studies and gender theory. This relation extends from their encounter at the University of Manchester in the late 1980s to Franklin’s editorial work on Strathern’s ‘lost manuscript’ originally written in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, in 1974 and published as Before and After Gender in 2016. In the interview, Franklin unpacks how her engagement with Marilyn Strathern shaped her ethnographic approach to scientists’ work in the field of reproduction, notably assisted conception technologies as well as cloning, and, more recently human embryonic stem cell derivation. Franklin’s project has consistently focused on exploring the multiple dimensions of conception as this process is recontextualised through ethnographic practices of re-description. Franklin argues that conception is queer in the sense that it does not fit into normative narratives of what reproduction is like, but rather reveals genealogy as a normative fiction in social and scientific practice
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Una conoscenza nell'azione. Horacio Gonzalez e la recezione argentina di Gramsci
No full textIl pensiero di Gramsci è un pensiero per l'azione, che bisogna sempre far vivere e operare nel presente, e la recezione argentina di Gramsci è molto importante, perchè, come scrive Horacio Gonzalez nel saggio del 1971 che viene tradotto e presentato, in Argentina lo studio di Gramsci non è mai stato solo un fatto culturale, ma si è sempre intrecciato con la storia convulsa del Paese, e con la sua specifica vita culturale

UM PENSAR AFROCÊNTRICO COMO POÉTICA NEGRA: MOVIMENTANDO-SE E PENSANDO COM LÉLIA GONZALEZ
No full textAs reflexões de Lélia Gonzalez nos convidam a um pensamento desde um ponto de vista da negritude. Tal abordagem reivindica um lugar epistêmico para a mulher negra frente à racionalidade eurocentrada. Os objetivos deste artigo residem em investigar a contribuição de alguns conceitos de Gonzalez para a construção de um pensamento afrocentrado e a relevância do diálogo com outras autoras negras para este mesmo processo. A metodologia adotada é teórico-bibliográfica, assentada em textos de GONZALEZ (1982, 1984, 2018), RIBEIRO (2017) e FERREIRA da SILVA (2019). Como resultados da investigação, notou-se a relevância do contributo teórico de Gonzalez para a compreensão do papel do negro na formação política brasileira, pautada pela racialização de corpos e de mentes de negros e de negras escravizadas em nosso território. A proposição da consciência de uma amefricanidade feminista apresenta um pensamento descentrado da europeidade moderna e radicado na cotidianidade das desobediências negras e feministas
Oral History with Teofilo F. Gonzalez
No full textThis interview was conducted by CBI for CS&E in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the University of Minnesota Computer Science Department (now Computer Science and Engineering, CS&E). The interview begins with early biographical discussion and education, and then completing a degree in Computer Science at Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey A.C., Mexico. Professor Gonzalez was among the earliest cohorts of Ph.D. students in the young Computer Science Department at the University of Minnesota. He worked under Professor Sartaj Kumar Sahni and discusses him as mentor, as well as work as a TA from Marvin Stein and association with other early faculty members through work or courses such as Professors Bill Franta and Allen Hanson. The interview also addresses Prof. Teo Gonzalez distinguished career at University of Oklahoma, UT-Dallas, and the bulk of his long career at University of California, Santa Barbara. He discusses his trip back to Minnesota after 15 years to give a lecture and how Minnesota and the department changed. He responds to a number of questions about the evolution and scope of his research which includes design and analysis of algorithms, approximation algorithms, message dissemination, job shop scheduling, and other areas.Gonzalez, Teofilo F..

On the origin of the mitochondrial genetic code: Towards a unified mathematical framework for the management of genetic information
No full textThe origin of the genetic code represents one of the most challenging problems in molecular evolution. The genetic code is an important universal feature of extant organisms and indicates a common ancestry of different forms of life on earth. Known variants of the genetic code can be mainly divided in mitochondrial and nuclear classes. Here we provide a new insight on the origin of the mitochondrial genetic code: we found that its degeneracy distribution can be explained by using a mathematical approach recently developed for the description of the Euplotes nuclear variant of the genetic code. The results point to a primeval mitochondrial genetic code composed of four base codons, which we call tesserae, that, among other features, exhibit outstanding error detection capabilities. The theoretical description suggests also a formulation of a plausible biological theory about the origin of protein coding. Such theory is based on the symmetry properties of hypothetical primeval chemical adaptors between nucleic acids and amino acids (ancient tRNA’s). Our paper provides a unified mathematical framework for different hypotheses on the origin of genetic coding. Also, it contributes to revisit our present view about the evolutionary steps that led to extant genetic codes by giving a new first-principles perspective on the difficult problem of the origin of the genetic code, and consequently, on the origin of life on earth
