Truth After cinema: The explosion of facts in the documentary films of Jia Zhangke
Full text linkThis is the author's accepted manuscript. The final published article is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2013 Intellect Books.This article identifies and elaborates on two models of resistance evident in JiaZhangke’s film corpus. The deployment of different cinematic strategies produces an experimental calling into question of the value of truth and of truth as value. In the films here analysed Jia moves from resistance through organic observation to a model of resistance structured around a series of fabulations. If the first regime addresses the truth of ideology, then the target of the second is the ideology of truth. It is in this passage that Jia enters political cinema, collapsing the distinction between factual and fictional and opening up a space that belongs to no collectivity
Patrus shangchuanensis Liang & Angus & Jia 2021, sp. nov.
No full textPatrus shangchuanensis sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 6EE82957-25AB-4EE0-90AC-3F5250BCD0B9 Figs 2, 5, 6C Diagnosis This species can be diagnosed by the following characters combined: 1) labrum less than ⅓ as long as wide, with anterior margin straight; 2) pronotal setose region anteriorly expanded inward onto pronotal disc to external third of dorsal eye; 3) dorsal surface with strong and dense micro-punctation, much stronger on elytron (Fig. 5F–H); 4) pronoto-elytral glabrous region regularly oval in male, terminating posteriorly with obtuse but not very wide angle, with two postero-lateral expansions in females (Fig. 5A– B); 5) elytral apex straight, epipleural angle obtuse; 6) male protarsus as in Fig. 5C–D, adhesive pallet with dense adhesive setae and small suction discs, almost as long as protibia; 7) aedeagus as in Fig. 5E, median lobe shorter than parameres, extending 4 /5 length, apical part notably narrowed, sub-apically slightly constricted; 10) female reproductive tract as in Fig. 6C, spermatheca elongate, C-shaped; fertilization duct rather slender and flattened, forming several loose hairpin hoops. This species is also a member of the wui -subgroup. It closely resembles Patrus wangi (Mazzoldi, 1998) and P. wui (Ochs, 1932). All these three species show a distinct sexual dimorphism in the shape of the elytral glabrous region. Two postero-lateral expansions are shown in female of both, the new species and P. wangi but much weaker in this species than in P. wangi so that the lateral pubescence on the elytra is visible from above throughout (Figs 2D, 5B). Besides, the protarsus in the male is less developed, at most as long as protibia in this species (Fig. 5C–D). The elytral glabrous region in the female is much broader posteriorly than in male P. wui, whereas postero-lateral expansions are not present in this species. The male genitalia of these three species are also distinctly different from each other. Etymology This species is named after the type locality ʻShangchuan Islandʼ.

Patrus hainanensis Liang & Angus & Jia 2021, sp. nov.
No full textPatrus hainanensis sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 1001055C-63EB-4EC7-A1E4-92FED32C3A58 Figs 1A–C, 3, 6A Diagnosis This species can be diagnosed by the following characters combined: 1) labrum less than ⅓ as long as wide, with anterior margin straight; 2) pronotal setose region anteriorly expanded inward onto pronotal disc to middle of dorsal eye; 3) punctation absent on head and pronotum; 4) punctures on surface of elytral glabrous region elongate transverse or oblique, several narrow longitudinal stripes shown on elytral glabrous region, micro-reticulation on elytral glabrous region weak and subtle, very elongate (Fig. 3A, G); 5) in lateral view elytral pubescent area in basal ½ distinctly narrower than on pronotum, expanded to similar width apically (Fig. 1C); 6) elytral apex rounded, epipleural angle acute; 7) female elytra similar to those of male; 8) male protarsus as in Fig. 3B–C, adhesive pallet with few adhesive setae and large suction discs, ⅔ length of protibia; 9) aedeagus as in Fig. 3D, median lobe shorter than parameres, extending to ¾ of their length, strongly laterally expanded in apical ⅓; 10) female reproductive tract as in Fig. 6A, spermatheca elongate, reniform; fertilization duct broad and flattened, forming several compact hairpin hoops. This species is a member of Group 2 in Vazirani’s (1984) key (Group V in the key of Ochs 1928). The few adhesive setae and large suction discs on the male protarsus and characteristic elytral surface sculpture can easily distinguish this species from other known Chinese species of this group. This species is similar to P. coomani (Peschet, 1925), but can still be easily seperated by its narrow setose region at the elytral base and by the median lobe strongly laterally expanded in apical ⅓. Etymology This species is named after the type locality ʻHainan Provinceʼ.

Patrus jiangxiensis Liang & Angus & Jia 2021, sp. nov.

This species is also a member of Group 2 in Vazirani’s (1984) key. It can be further assigned to the wui - subgroup proposed by Mazzoldi (1998) by the very large protarsus in the male. This species closely resembles Patrus wangi (Mazzoldi, 1998) described from Zhejiang and Anhui. These two species both have a well-developed protarsus which is distinctly longer than the protibia. However, it can be easily distinguished from the latter by the shape of the protarsus in the male (Fig. 4B) and of the elytral glabrous region in the female. Besides, it is larger in size, the truncature of the protibia is more oblique and the median lobe of the aedeagus lacks the hook-like process (Fig. 4D). The new species is also similar to P. wui (Ochs, 1932). Compared to P. wui, this species is larger in size, the protarsus is also larger, longer than the protibia, the glabrous region is less broad posteriorly, and the median lobe of the aedeagus is broader. Etymology This species is named after the type locality ʻJiangxi Provinceʼ. Material examined Holotype CHINA – Jiangxi • ♂; Jiangxi Prov.

Diagnosis. Ichneumenoptera gryphus sp. nov. is similar to I. punicea Gorbunov & Arita 2000, which was described from northern Vietnam. I. gryphus. may be distinguished from I. punicea by having an additional yellow medial line in mesothorax. An orange band edged with yellow is present posteriad on each tergite of A 2 to A 7 in I. gryphus, whereas only a yellow bar is found in I. punicea. Distal end of saccus is rounded in I. gryphus, but truncated in I. punicea. Etymology. Specific name refers to an creature from Greek mythology, gryphus = gryphon. Biology. Adults was observed active during the day in June. The larva bores into the trunks of 2−8 cm in diameter of trees in the genus Machilus (Lauraceae) and feeds on callus, creating shallow galleries up to 2.5 cm long between the bark and the cambium layer covered with silk, debris, and frass. The larvae pupate in the following spring, but they clear the frass out of the tunnel and work their way to near the exit. Before the adult moth emerges, the pupa wriggles so that it projects from the entrance hole so that adult moth may stretch wings open emergence from pupal cases. Distribution. Known only from Taiwan.Published as part of Liang, Jia-Yuan & Hsu, Yu-Feng, 2015, A review of clearwing moths in the tribe Synanthedonini, with descriptions of six new species from Taiwan (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), pp. 535-555 in Zootaxa 4044 (4) on pages 543-544, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4044.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/24356
