Knitted Chromosomes
No full textWool on caste acrylicThe idea behind this project was to create a piece of artwork that would bring together people from art, science and the local community. Each person was given a project bag with wool, a pattern and stuffing material and asked to knit a pair of chromosomes. Some chose to come together to 'knit and natter' while others were happy to take it away and knit them to bring them back knowing that they were part of the bigger piece. We chose the female karyotype, the scientific definition of 'female' as the image work towards. While we acknowledge that, from a gender perspective, this is not the only karyotype that might identify as a woman, we wanted an image that would be recognisable to a more general audience as an expression of Women in Science.This work was first exhibited as part of a wider exhibition 'Symbiosis - the fusion of art and science' which ran from 14 - 17 March 2015 at Tin Roof Gallery, Dundee. This exhibition was part of the University of Dundee Women in Science Festival 2015.The work is currently on display within the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee.Contributors:Angela Mehlert, Alice Dawson, Rhoda Ellis, Theresa Prophet, Cate Newton, Laura Diaz Saez, Luke Wilson, Tanith Marron, Diana Moonie, Daphne Groves, Doaa Yule, Kirsten Bennie, Nancy Giang, Jennifer Woof, Dawn Kilean, Sarah Hussain, Natasha Cowley, Charlotte Bailey, Stephanie White, Darienne Tosh, Ulrika Kjeldsen, and Leona-Jayne Kelly

Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship

Deliberation and journalism
No full textThe first chapter in 'International Journalism and Democracy' re-examines current ideas about the role of journalism in promoting democracy, introducing the concept of "deliberative journalism". 'Deliberation and Journalism' lists the ways in which journalists can assist deliberation and politics in communities around the world. The chapter defines deliberation as a specific form of conversation that precedes and promotes decision-making and action by members of a community. The author recognises the difficulty of engaging in deliberation in communities that are divided by different interests, identities, backgrounds, resources and needs. She provides examples of strategies that journalists can use to encourage inclusive and productive deliberation in the face of community diversity.\ud
\ud
The chapter introduces examples of types of deliberative journalism that have emerged around the globe. These include strategies that have been sometimes been labeled as public journalism, civic journalism, peace journalism, development journalism, citizen journalism, the street press, community journalism, environmental journalism, and social entrepreneurism. The chapter also includes models of journalism that have not yet been given any particular name. Although the book identifies problems surrounding the theory and practice of these forms of journalism, the author notes that this is to be expected. Most models of deliberative journalism are relatively new, with none being more than a few decades old. The author concludes that resolution of these problems will only occur incrementally
Il tempo perduto delle donne nei racconti di Adriana Bittel: Cum încărunţeste o blondă, Soi bun, Departe-n zare, spre Azuga
No full textIl contributo comprende la prima traduzione in italiano di tre racconti della scrittrice rumena Adriana Bittel, e un saggio sulle strategie narrative messe in atto da Bittel per descrivere lo spazio della socialità femminile nella Romania del periodo precedente al 1989The contribution consists of the translation into Italian of three short stories authored by the Romanian woman writer Adriana Bittel, entitled respectively, "How a Blond turns white", "Good Quality", “Far away in the horizon, towards Azuga”. Angela Tarantino, the author of the translation, adds to her work a presentation of Adriana Bittel and the narrative strategies used to describe the space of the women's sociality in Romania during the years previous to 198
Identification and functional characterization of a highly divergent N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (TbGnTI) in <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em>
No full textTrypanosoma brucei expresses a diverse repertoire of N-glycans, ranging from oligomannose and paucimannose structures to exceptionally large complex N-glycans. Despite the presence of the latter, no obvious homologues of known ß1-4-galactosyltransferase or ß1-2- or ß1-6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase genes have been found in the parasite genome. However, we previously reported a family of putative UDP-sugar-dependent glycosyltransferases with similarity to the mammalian ß1-3-glycosyltransferase family. Here we characterize one of these genes, TbGT11, and show that it encodes a Golgi apparatus resident UDP-GlcNAc:a3-D-mannoside ß1-2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I activity (TbGnTI). The bloodstream-form TbGT11 null mutant exhibited significantly modified protein N-glycans but normal growth in vitro and infectivity to rodents. In contrast to multicellular organisms, where the GnTI reaction is essential for biosynthesis of both complex and hybrid N-glycans, T. brucei TbGT11 null mutants expressed atypical "pseudohybrid" glycans, indicating that TbGnTII activity is not dependent on prior TbGnTI action. Using a functional in vitro assay, we showed that TbGnTI transfers UDP-GlcNAc to biantennary Man3GlcNAc2, but not to triantennary Man5GlcNAc2, which is the preferred substrate for metazoan GnTIs. Sequence alignment reveals that the T. brucei enzyme is far removed from the metazoan GnTI family and suggests that the parasite has adapted the ß3-glycosyltransferase family to catalyze ß1-2 linkages.</p
