Remnants and Revenants: politics and violence in the work of Agamben and Derrida
No full textThis is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Frazer, Elizabeth, and Kimberly Hutchings. "Remnants and revenants: politics and violence in the work of Agamben and Derrida." The British Journal of Politics & International Relations 13.2 (2011): 127-144, which has been published in final form at http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-856X.2010.00428.x. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving.Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben both consider the question of whether there can be politics without violence, offering contrasting responses. In the case of Agamben, the remnant (that which remains) is disruptive and destabilising of present institutions; in the case of Derrida the revenant, the spectre, promises a future that is open. This reading of the two theories suggests that Derrida's response to the question of politics and violence is more persuasive than Agamben's. But the abstraction of his argument, like the tensions and contradictions in Agamben's, means that we are not hereby furnished with the resources to think politically about violence

Secularism and the death and return of the author: Rereading the Rushdie affair after Joseph Anton
No full textIn what ways has the contemporary British novel served to contribute to the ethos of secular liberalism that underpins the ideology of the colonial present before and after the “War on Terror”? This article seeks to address this question through a rereading of Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses and its critical reception. Beginning with a discussion of the secularism/theology binary in Roland Barthes’ essay “The Death of the Author”, the paper considers how the ideology of secularism that Barthes attributes to the birth of the reader has shaped and influenced the public understanding of the Rushdie affair before and after 9/11. With close reference to Rushdie’s memoir, Joseph Anton, the essay proceeds to address how Rushdie’s own account of the production and reception of The Satanic Verses in Joseph Anton might be regarded as a particular form of secular misreading that calls the authority of the book’s implied author into question. By addressing questions such as these, this article suggests that Rushdie’s literary reworking of Islamic history in The Satanic Verses and his defence of this reworking in Joseph Anton demand a rethinking of the relationship between the ideology of secularism and postmodern theories of reading. Such a rethinking, I suggest, also demands a consideration of the ways in which the contemporary figure of the emancipated reader is implicated in the secularist ideology of the colonial present.</p
Hubert Damisch e Stephen Bann: uma conversa
No full textDiscípulo de Merleau-Ponty e Pierre Francastel, Hubert Damisch (1928) marca presença decisiva na renovação epistemológica da disciplina história da arte, franqueando-a às contribuições da psicanálise, da filosofia, da antropologia e da semiótica, e conferindo a ela inédita envergadura teórica, para muito além das demarcações tradicionais de competência que a separam da teoria da arte. Tendo sido músico de jazz na juventude e se dedicado inicialmente ao cinema antes de se voltar às artes visuais, manteve sempre uma perspectiva teórica forte da história da arte, visando um campo diversificado de interesses - a pintura, a estética, a arquitetura, a literatura, a fotografia, o cinema. Autor de livros fundamentais como Théorie du nuage: pour une histoire de la peinture (Paris: Seuil, 1972), L’Origine de la perspective (Paris: Flammarion, 1987), Le Jugement de Pâris: iconologie analytique, (Paris: Flammarion, 1992), Un Souvenir d’enfance par Piero della Francesca (Paris: Seuil, 1997) e La Dénivelée: à l’épreuve de la photographie (Paris: Seuil, 2001), Damish produziu reflexão crucial sobre a lógica da imagem, nos oferecendo uma prática nada convencional da história da arte, marcada pelo livre trânsito metodológico entre a arte do passado e a do presente. Foi professor na École Normale Supérieure e depois na École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. A entrevista a seguir, concedida a um grupo de teóricos e críticos, entre eles, Stephen Bann, historiador da arte e um dos editores da Oxford Art Journal, apareceu, originalmente, em número especial dessa publicação [vol. 28, n. 2, 2005, p. 157-181], tendo resultado de seminário dedicado à obra de Damisch, promovido pela revista, em parceria com a Tate Britain, em outubro de 2003. Além de Stephen Bann, entrevistaram Hubert Damisch Margaret Iversen, John Goodman, Stephen Melville e Yve-Alain Bois.Having studied with Merleau-Ponty and Pierre Francastel, Hubert Damisch (1928) raises as a key figure in the epistemological renewing of the disciplinary field of art history, having opened it up for the contributions of psychoanalysis, philosophy, anthropology and semiotics, while assigning to it a unique theoretical scope – far beyond the traditional jurisdictions that have set apart art history from the concerns of the theory of art. A jazz musician in his youthful, and attracted firstly by film before being driven towards visual arts, Damisch have always claimed a theoretical density for the field of art history, where he would work from a multifarous horizon of interests – painting, architecture, literature, photography, ethnology. He has produced a crucial reflexion on the logics of image, being author of referential studies on the subject, such as Théorie du nuage: pour une histoire de la peinture (Paris: Seuil, 1972), L’Origine de la perspective (Paris: Flammarion, 1987), Le Jugement de Pâris: iconologie analytique, (Paris: Flammarion, 1992), Un Souvenir d’enfance par Piero della Francesca (Paris: Seuil, 1997) and La Dénivelée: à l’épreuve de la photographie (Paris: Seuil, 2001). His oeuvre shows a singular and unconventional way of dealing with art history, marked by his methodological freedom to move with boldness between the art of the present and the past. Damisch has teached at École Normale Supérieure and afterwards at École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. This interview, given to a group of art historians, theoreticians and art critics, and conducted mostly by the art historian Stephen Bann, editor of Oxford Art Journal, originally appeared in a special issue of this publication [vol. 28, n. 2, 2005, p. 157-181], as a result of a conference dedicated do Hubert Damisch’s work. The conference was promoted by the journal in partnership with Tate Britain, in October 2003. Besides Stephan Bann, the discussions also involved the participation, as interviewers, of Margaret Iversen, John Goodman, Stephen Melville and Yve-Alain Bois

The Domestic Sources of American Foreign Policy: Insights and Evidence
No full textThe seventh edition of this leading reader for courses in American foreign policy offers students an up-to-date, highly accessible introduction to the broad array of domestic factors influencing U.S. policymakers. James McCormick offers twenty-two carefully selected essays, more than half of which are new or revised. These current, insightful, and sometimes controversial essays are contributed by a distinguished group of scholars, journalists and public officials. The only reader to focus on domestic sources of American foreign policy, the book is organized into three thematic sections, each prefaced by a brief introduction written by the editor.
Part one assesses how society contributes to foreign policy, part two examines the role of various political institutions and bureaucracies, and part three presents case studies of foreign policymaking that highlight the role of individual and group decision makers. Featuring nine new chapters, this latest edition provides a detailed analysis of foreign policy from the Vietnam War through the end of the Obama administration.

Genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9 in the Illinois long term selection experiment
No full textRecent advances in genome editing by Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) and CRISPR Associated Protein 9 (Cas9) have markedly increased our ability to characterize genes and use genetics to the benefit of agriculture. In this work, we utilize this technology to study the Illinois Long Term Selection Experiment (ILTSE), a unique germplasm resource for studies of genome evolution and genetic variants that contribute to phenotypic traits. ILTSE genotypes, Illinois High Protein 1 and Illinois Low Protein 1, create highly regenerable embryogenic type I callus, enabling transformation and genome editing approaches to characterize gene function. The Lemon White 1 (Lw1) locus was initially targeted as a proof of concept to generate albino plants easily detectable in a population of regenerated plants. Four guide RNAs were tested for their function using an in vitro Cas9 cleavage assay. CRISPR editing vectors were delivered to embryogenic calli using biolistics and transgenic events selected. Multiple albino plants indicative of biallelic mutations were recovered in the ILP1 genotypes at 1.5% efficiency; however none were produced from the IHP1 genotype. A second CRISPR experiment targeted the L-Asparaginase (ASNase) gene, which exhibits reduced gene expression in IHP1 compared to ILP1. The goal was to test whether reducing ASNase gene function can increase grain protein concentration in the ILP1 background. Four guide RNAs were designed and tested in vitro before delivery. Two ILP1 events were generated with novel ASNase deletion alleles. Limited T1 seed was recovered and will be used for future characterization.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Stephen Jinga, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-17 at 13:40.The student, Stephen Jinga, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-07-17 at 13:46.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-07-18 at 13:21.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14358 on 2019-11-26 at 13:06:13Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:49:33Z (GMT).

Preparing the NDE engineers of the future: Education, training, and diversity
No full textAs quantitative NDE has matured and entered the mainstream, it has created an industry need for engineers who can select, evaluate, and qualify NDE techniques to satisfy quantitative engineering requirements. NDE as a field is cross-disciplinary with major NDE techniques relying on a broad spectrum of physics disciplines including fluid mechanics, electromagnetics, mechanical waves, and high energy physics. An NDE engineer needs broad and deep understanding of the measurement physics across modalities, a general engineering background, and familiarity with shop-floor practices and tools. While there are a wide range of certification and training programs worldwide for NDE technicians, there are few programs aimed at engineers. At the same time, substantial demographic shifts are underway with many experienced NDE engineers and technicians nearing retirement, and with new generations coming from much more diverse backgrounds. There is a need for more and better education opportunities for NDE engineers. Both teaching and learning NDE engineering are inherently challenging because of the breadth and depth of knowledge required. At the same time, sustaining the field in a more diverse era will require broadening participation of previously underrepresented groups. The QNDE 2016 conference in Atlanta, GA included a session on NDE education, training, and diversity. This paper summarizes the outcomes and discussion from this session.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only. Any other use requires prior permission of the author and AIP Publishing.
