The measurements are based on all type material (10♂ 9♀) plus specimens from the NMB (810i: 1♂ 2♀) and the MHNG (Axalp: 1♂; Fionnay: 1♂ 1♀).</p> <p> <i>Males</i> (n=13, means in brackets): The coloration is variable. Total length 1.91–2.18 mm (2.09 mm). Cephalothorax: 0.73–0.86 mm (0.82 mm) long without cephalic lobe, 1.10–1.23 mm (1.18 mm) long with cephalic lobe; 0.61–0.69 mm (0.65 mm) wide. Cephalic lobe: at thinnest part below the eye-field 0.10–0.13 mm (0.11 mm) wide laterally, 0.09–0.11 mm (0.11 mm) wide dorsally; sulcus 0.07–0.11 mm (0.08 mm) below AME (Fig. 53). Legs: Tm I: 0.50–0.59 mm (0.54 mm).</p> <p> <i>Females</i> (n=12, means in brackets): The colorations are variable. Total length 1.62–2.00 mm (1.82 mm). Cephalothorax: 0.75–0.89 mm (0.82 mm) long; 0.60–0.65 mm (0.62 mm) wide. Legs: Tm I: 0.48–0.60 mm (0.53 mm).</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Endemic to the Alps, occurring in the Western- and Central Alps in France, Switzerland and Austria (Fig. 59). The Eastern distribution border seems to be in Western Austria. Checking of specimens of <i>C. avicula</i> collected west of Vorarlberg (Austria) revealed no misidentifications.</p> <p> <b>Habitat.</b> <i>C. zamoniensis</i> spec. nov. occurs in the litter layer of Norway spruce (<i>Picea abies</i>) forests at the alpine timberline. Most sampling sites were inside the forest with no direct sunlight under branches of Norway spruce. The collection site and its surroundings were sampled intensively in two previous studies (Frick <i>et al.</i> 2006; Frick <i>et al.</i> 2007; Muff <i>et al.</i> 2007). We found no specimens of <i>C. zamoniensis</i> spec. nov. around stand alone trees in the dwarf-shrub heath with a similar microclimate as the closed forests. <i>C. zamoniensis</i> spec. nov. seems to avoid the open land. We only found two specimens in more open areas in the dwarf-shrub heath close to the subalpine forest. <i>C. zamoniensis</i> spec. nov. was never collected together with <i>C. avicula</i> in the same pitfall trap but already in pitfall traps about 20 m away from <i>C. avicula</i>. The locus typicus is approximately 50 m away from the alpine timberline in the subalpine deciduous forest. We found the type specimens in litter under snow close to the tree trunk under a Norway spruce (Fig. 47) at 1960 m a.s.l. Other specimens were found between 1400–2000 m in litter and moss of spruce forests (e.g. Schenkel 1939). One record was much lower at app. 800 m in France (Bosmans pers. comm.).</p> <p> <b>Phenology.</b> This species seems to be eurychronous. All records of other authors at altitudes from 1400 m to 1800 m were between July and September. However, at the type locality (1960 m) specimens were exclusively found between September and June. This corresponds with the time between the first snow fall and the beginning of the snow free time.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The cephalic lobe of the male is morphologically very similar to the noses of the so called dwarf pirates and other imaginary figures from “Zamonia”. Zamonia is a continent inhabited by freaky creatures in the novel “The 13 ½ Lives of Captain Bluebear” by the German writer Walter Moers (2000). Translated, the species name means “ <i>Caracladus</i> from Zamonia”.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> <i>C. zamoniensis</i> spec. nov. lacks a copulatory duct. The insertion of sperm is assumed to take place through a space between the ventral and the dorsal plates which are supposed to be pressed apart during copulation.</p> <p> The specimens that Lessert (1907, 1910) shows have been evaluated by H.F. The figures of males in Lessert (1907: figs 5, 6) and reprinted in Lessert (1910: figs 98, 99) show <i>C. zamoniensis</i> spec. nov. and not <i>C.</i></p> <p> <i>avicula</i>. The female mentioned in Lessert (1907: fig. 7) and Lessert (1910: fig. 100) shows <i>Diplocentria bidentata</i> (Emerton, 1882) (Thaler 1972).</p> <p> The specimen that was pictured by Pesarini (1996: figs 9–10) was not available to the authors. A definite assignment to either <i>C. avicula</i> or <i>C. zamoniensis</i> spec. nov. is not possible. However, his records are referred to as <i>C. avicula</i> in the distribution map (Fig. 59) and the list of records.</p> <p> The remaining pictures so far named as <i>C. avicula</i> in Heimer and Nentwig (1991: figs 350.1–350.5), Millidge (1977: fig. 162), Simon (1884: figs 408, 409 and fig. 8 on plate 27) and Thaler (1969: figs 16–21, 1972: figs 7–11) are correctly assigned to <i>C. avicula</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Frick, Holger & Muff, Patrick, 2009, Revision of the genus Caracladus with the description of Caracladus zamoniensis spec. nov.

Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Patrick Chamoiseau Recovering Memory
No full textThis timely new book skillfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau. Considered by many as one of the most innovative writers to hit the French literary scene in over 40 years, Chamoiseau made his name with his book Texaco (published in 1992 and winner of the highest literary prize in France, the Prix Goncourt). His books have gone on to sell millions and his work has been translated by a number of academic presses. McCusker sets the author in context, providing a valuable contribution to 'memory studies' by looking at literary representation of memory in Martinique, a society founded on slavery but now politically assimilated to the metropolitan centre, France.Title Page -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1: Beginnings: The Enigma of Origin -- 2: 'Une tracée de survie': Autobiographical Memory -- 3: Memory Re-collected: Witnesses and Words -- 4: Memory Materialized: Traces of the Past -- 5: Flesh Made Word: Traumatic Memory in Biblique des derniers gestes -- Afterword -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThis timely new book skillfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau.
