Arthropoda Grazia 1980
No full textPallantia macunaim (Figs. 87–90; Tab. 2) Eggs barrel-shaped, light brown to greenish; operculum flat to slightly convex; chorion white-translucent, with great amount of thin prolongations (Grazia & Frey-da-Silva 2001; Panizzi & Grazia 2001). Aero-micropylar processes long and filiform. In SEM, chorion spinose: the whole surface is covered by long and thin spines (Figs. 87, 88), with different heights and connected to each other by fine sheets (Fig. 89). The more or less hexagonal reticulations underlying the thin prolongations, as described by Grazia & Frey-da-Silva (2001), were not observed. At oval area where the egg is fixed to another in the egg mass, a substance recovers the spines and distorts the sculpture pattern (Fig. 87). Surface sculpture pattern at operculum does not differ from the lateral wall; the eclosion line is not visible before hatching (Fig. 88). Aero-micropylar processes tubular, longer in larger diameter than the chorionic spines, with a circular apical opening (Fig. 90).Published as part of Matesco, Viviana C., Fürstenau, Brenda B. R.

Wor(l)d-making Libraries: Fantastic Libraries as Creators of Alternative Realities
No full textFantasy fiction often appropriates the topos of the library to reflect upon the generative power of literature and on our ability to tap into it. Since the publication of Jorge Luis Borges’ influential short story, The Library of Babel (1941), the image of the library as a universe in itself, as a repository of virtually boundless (if unfathomable and labyrinthine) knowledge has become a recurring feature in fantasy literature. This essay seeks to investigate how British author Genevieve Cogman and American author Scott Hawkins refer to this tradition in their respective novels The Invisible Library (2014) and The Library at Mount Char (2015), through an analysis of some specific elements. In both texts, the structure of the library is represented as an interdimensional core, a macrocosm from which other dimensions may develop (including our own): each alternative reality hinges upon the library, which is in itself boundless, albeit rigorously arranged. While Cogman chooses to highlight the library’s function as a portal to other worlds, thus staging a traditional quest consistent with the informing paradigms of fantasy fiction, Hawkins stresses its metaphysical quality, reflecting upon the idea of God and its viability in our contemporary culture. Furthermore, these conceptions are equally associated with an understanding of language which enhances the tropes of words as “speaking” things into existence. Whether enchanting or emanating from the library’s ordering force, the verbal tools devised by Cogman and Hawkins revolve around the idea that language is power, and that through language reality can be reshaped
