Michel Foucault and Judith Butler: troubling Butler's appropriation of Foucault's work
No full textOne of the main influences on Judith Butler‘s thinking has been the work of Michel Foucault. Although this relationship is often commented on, it is rarely discussed in any detail. My thesis makes a contribution in this area. It presents an analysis of Foucault‘s work with the aim of countering Butler‘s representation of his thinking. In the first part of the thesis, I show how Butler initially interprets Foucault‘s project through Nietzschean genealogy, psychoanalysis and Derridean discourse, and how she later develops this interpretation in line with the progress of her own project. In the main part of the thesis, I present an analysis of Foucault‘s thinking in the period from The Archaeology of Knowledge (1969) to The History of Sexuality volume 1 (1976). This analysis focuses on the aspect of his work which has most influenced Butler‘s thinking: namely the notion of a relationship between knowledge, discourse and power. The other issues in his work which Butler addresses—genealogy, the subject, the body, abnormality, and sexuality—are discussed within this framework. I show how, in the early 1970s, Foucault develops the notion of power-knowledge, and sets out a relationship between power-knowledge and discourse which is overlooked by Butler. I argue that Butler interprets Foucaultian power through the notions of repression and social norms, and ignores the concepts of technology and strategy which form a key part of Foucault‘s thinking. I show how, from The Archaeology of Knowledge on, Foucault develops a socio-historical ontology and a genealogy of the subject, both of which are at variance with Butler‘s interpretation of his thinking

Legal History Meets the Honors Program
No full textIn this article, the author discusses the Law and Culture course that he developed to teach in the Butler University Honors Program. The course looks at some landmark periods or events in legal history and explores how those events were the product of their culture, and how they affected their culture. Among the events or periods that the author has looked at in iterations of this course were the survival instinct on display in Regina v. Dudley and Stephens, the Nuremberg trials, the Scopes Monkey Trial, the modern American litigation explosion, and the events surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court decision Kelo v. City of New London. A goal of this course is to address the themes using a number of different types of texts, including court decisions, historical documents, novels, essays, research scholarship, and films. The interdisciplinary nature of this course and the interplay of fiction, nonfiction, and film have caused students to appreciate the importance of law and its development and the interplay of law and culture. They also develop insights on the influence of law and culture on their daily lives

Variations within the glycan shield of SARS-CoV-2 impact viral spike dynamics
No full textThe emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants alters the efficacy of existing immunity, whether arisen naturally or through vaccination. Understanding the structure of the viral spike assists in determining the impact of mutations on the antigenic surface. One class of mutation impacts glycosylation attachment sites, which have the capacity to influence the antigenic structure beyond the immediate site of attachment. Here, we compare the site-specific glycosylation of recombinant viral spike mimetics of B.1.351 (Beta), P.1 (Gamma), B.1.617.2 (Delta), B.1.1.529 (Omicron). The P.1 strain exhibits two additional N-linked glycan sites compared to the other variants analyzed and we investigate the impact of these glycans by molecular dynamics. The acquired N188 site is shown to exhibit very limited glycan maturation, consistent with limited enzyme accessibility. Structural modeling and molecular dynamics reveal that N188 is located within a cavity by the receptor binding domain, which influences the dynamics of these attachment domains. These observations suggest a mechanism whereby mutations affecting viral glycosylation sites have a structural impact across the protein surface.</p

Studies of Artists: An Annotated Directory
No full textThis annotated directory documents more than 80 different studies of artist populations. The directory provides information about how the researcher in each study has defined the artist and identified the population. Studies are arranged by type of artist population and, within each category, by study date. Each entry indicates, in so far as possible from available materials, the study investigator, the artist population, the way in which artists were identified, sampling procedures, number of respondents and response rates, and publications based on the study. This directory should provide researchers and other interested parties with a range of definitions, identification methods, and sampling procedures currently used in studies of artists. The introduction to the directory provides a critical overview of the numerous methods for identifying and defining "artists."

Puzzle Busters
No full textThe National Puzzlers\u27 League recently celebrated its centennial with a three-day convention held in New Brunswick, N.J. in July 1983. The following account, reprinted from the March 1937 American Magazine, entertainingly describes an NPL regional meeting a half-century ago. Rufus T. Strohm, editor of the Enigma (the official publication of the League), wrote in April 1937 The article in the March American Magazine about the league and the Krewe is a swell job, and the author Jerome Beatty (pseudonymically J.B. Griswold) has the thanks of all of us for giving so accurate a picture of us and our activities. It is comforting to discover a writer who can discern in us something more than an assortment of nuts
