When Opposites Attract: Moral Polarity in Sade’s 'Aline et Valcour'
No full textSade is often seen as an author who wishes to convey a particular view of the world in his novels. It is well known that in life he passionately embraced a philosophy that was at once monist-materialist and libertine. This article explores the curious fact that it is difficult to locate a corresponding ‘message’ in Aline et Valcour, which is subtitled Le roman philosophique. One important reason for this is the influence of Richardson’s Clarissa. Both novels are built around an opposition between the supporters of two ‘camps’: Christian virtue and libertinage. In Aline et Valcour no less than in Clarissa, these camps are prepared to fight to the death. But in each of these novels, too, the opposition is not a straightforward one, for it has a symbiotic aspect. The libertines need the virtuous in order to achieve their goal of desecrating, and so symbolically defeating, the Christian view of the world. But the virtuous also need their libertine persecutors if they are to achieve the feats of moral suffering, associated with sensibilité, that constitute their highest aim. In brief, Aline et Valcour obeys a Richardsonian aesthetic in which each side is allowed to fight its cause without being definitively supported or undermined by the (implied) author. This helps to explain why, considered as a ‘philosophical novel’, it seems heuristic rather than dogmatic
Loaisel de Tréogate, romancier féministe ?
No full textAline Jalliet : Was Loaisel de Treogate a feminist ?
Women occupy a central position in the novels of Loaisel de Tréogate (1752-1812) and in his heroes' adventures. Although the author often expresses traditional male chauvinist prejudices, he also goes beyond this conventional view by presenting couples in which true exchange between the partners is essential to the man's happiness. In addition, the woman is given a subversive discourse that, by uncovering man's age-old usurpation, is the first shot in a necessary war of the sexes. He is, thanks to his belief in equality, a novelist of the mythical, fraternal married couple, but his attempts to define the essence and the role of women link him to 18th-century debates on women's identity and place in society.Jalliet Aline.

De « La Vieille Henriette » à Aline : ethnogénétique d’une filiation et d’une affiliation
No full textThe recent discovery of the manuscript “La Vieille Henriette”, Ramuz’ completed but unpublished novel, dated March 9-May 5, 1904, calls for a re-examination of the “avant-texts” of Aline, started in the summer of 1904. Indeed, the eponymous character of the unpublished novel reappears with the same name as a protagonist in the “Manuscript 1” of Aline, and is still present in the original April 1905 edition, while losing most of her narrative efficiency. The three “avant-textes” (“La Vieille Henriette”, “Manuscript 1” and “Definitive Manuscript” of Aline) are narrative places where the author experiments with the fictional representation of economic and symbolic exchanges. The variations found (the movements of bodies, goods and speeches) are critical points for a world whose culture is changing, specially when the rules are rejected of transgressed
When Do Children Dislike Ingroup Members? Resource Allocation from Individual and Group Perspectives
No full textDo children like ingroup members who challenge group norms about resource allocation? Further, do children evaluate from their own individual perspective? Participants (N = 381), aged 9.5 and 13.5 years, evaluated members of their own group who deviated from group norms about resource allocation by either: (1) advocating for equal allocation in contrast to the group norm of inequality; or (2) advocating for inequality when the group norm was to divide equally. With age, participants differentiated their own individual favorability from the group's favorability of deviant members of the ingroup. Further, when deciding between group loyalty and equal allocation, children and adolescents gave priority to equality, rejecting group decisions to dislike ingroup members who advocated for equality
Pequena coreografia da mulher selvagem: o amadurecimento feminino na Pequena coreografia do adeus, de Aline Bei
No full textThis article tries to interpret the novel Pequena coreografia do Adeus (2021), by Aline Bei, in the light of psychoanalysis, considering, for that purpose, the theories related to the female psyche elaborated in Women who run with the wolves, in which the author, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, influenced by the works of C. G. Jung, explores the myths and stories of the “Wild Woman” archetype. Although this is just one interpretation among the possible ones, Estés’ work proves to be an interesting reading guide, as it not only contributes to the understanding of relevant aspects of Aline Bei’s book – once Pequena coreografia do Adeus revisits, with its very particular style, several recurrent elements in literature –, but offers as well a psychoanalytic look at the understanding of female authorship.O presente artigo busca interpretar o romance Pequena coreografia do Adeus (2021), de Aline Bei, à luz da psicanálise, movimentando, para tanto, as teorias relativas à psique feminina elaboradas em Mulheres que correm com os lobos, trabalho no qual a autora, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, influenciada pelos trabalhos de C. G. Jung, explora os mitos e histórias do arquétipo da “Mulher Selvagem”. Apesar de essa ser apenas uma interpretação entre as possíveis, a obra de Estés se mostra um guia de leitura interessante, pois não apenas colabora para a compreensão de aspectos relevantes da obra de Aline Bei – à medida que a Pequena coreografia do Adeus revisita, com seu estilo tão particular, diversos elementos recorrentes na literatura –, como também oferece um olhar psicanalítico para a compreensão da autoria feminina
Ruins of the past: the use and perception of abandoned structures in the Maya lowlands
No full textTravix W. Stanton and Aline Magnoni, editors.Includes bibliographical references and index.From the Formative to the present, Maya peoples have continuously built, altered, abandoned, and re-used structures, imbuing them with new meanings at each transformation.

Unfortunately, after publication of this article [1], it was noticed that the names of the second and third authors were incorrectly displayed, respectively, as Glauce Hiromi Yonaminez and Carla Aline Satiro. The correct names are Glauce Hiromi Yonamine and Carla Aline Fernandes Satiro and can be seen in the corrected author list above. The original article has also been updated to correct this error

Structure of a dimeric crenarchaeal Cas6 enzyme with an atypical active site for CRISPR RNA processing
No full textThis work was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council [grant numbers BB/G011400/1 and BB/K000314/1 (to M.F.W. and J.H.N.)], a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council-funded studentship to J.R. and a Medical Research Council-funded studentship to R.D.S.The competition between viruses and hosts is played out in all branches of life. Many prokaryotes have an adaptive immune system termed 'CRISPR' (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) which is based on the capture of short pieces of viral DNA. The captured DNA is integrated into the genomic DNA of the organism flanked by direct repeats, transcribed and processed to generate crRNA (CRISPR RNA) that is loaded into a variety of effector complexes. These complexes carry out sequence-specific detection and destruction of invading mobile genetic elements. In the present paper, we report the structure and activity of a Cas6 (CRISPR-associated 6) enzyme (Sso1437) from Sulfolobus solfataricus responsible for the generation of unit-length crRNA species. The crystal structure reveals an unusual dimeric organization that is important for the enzyme's activity. In addition, the active site lacks the canonical catalytic histidine residue that has been viewed as an essential feature of the Cas6 family. Although several residues contribute towards catalysis, none is absolutely essential. Coupled with the very low catalytic rate constants of the Cas6 family and the plasticity of the active site, this suggests that the crRNA recognition and chaperone-like activities of the Cas6 family should be considered as equal to or even more important than their role as traditional enzymes.Peer reviewe
