Survival of parasitic nematodes outside the host
No full textThe life cycle of parasitic nematodes essentially consists of two phases, the preparasitic and parasitic. The pre-parasitic phase, which may equate to the infective stage, occurs either as a free-living stage or inside, or transported by, an interrnediate host. On locating and invading the definitive host, the parasitic phase commences. For obligate parasitic species there are situations where persistence of a population requires survival of the free-living stages. This may occur when the host is not available or environmental conditions exist that are not commensurate with continuing development. The requirements, first, to survive long enough to infect a host and, second, to ensure the survival of progeny when the host is no longer supportive, are the essential non-parasitic tasks of the life cycle. Survival of adverse environmental conditions may involve enduring temperature extremes (see Wharton, Chapter 8, and Devaney, Chapter 10, this volume), osmotic stress (see Wharton and Perry, Chapter 11, this volume) and dehydration, in addition to withstanding the absence of food. The ability of some species of nematode to survive desiccation for periods considerably in excess of the duration of the normal life cycle has been studied in detail, in part because in species with a direct life cyele this attribute is hnked to effective dispersion of nematodes. In the past, research has focused primarily on the remarkable structural, physiological and behavioural adaptations that facilitate desiccation survival (Perry, 1999). However, more recently the molecular aspects have received considerable attention, and these ar reviewed by Burnell and Tunnaeliffe, Chapter 6, and Adhikari émd Adams, Chapter 9, this volume. In this chapter, we examine the morphologicaI, physiological and behavioural adaptations, focusing principallyon desiccation survival and the link to nematode dispersion. This link and the need to understand the temporaI factors involved in survival are elearly vital for effective management and control ophons for parasitic nematodes. The pre-adult stages of nematodes are ca lied juveniles by plant nematolof ogists, and the term infective juvenile (IJ) is favoured by researchers working with entomopathogenic nematodes. However, the term larva(e) is the term of choice for animal nematologists and the Caenorhabditis efegans community. To ensure consistency throughout this chapter, larva(e) will be used

The death of William Golding: authorship and creativity in darkness visible and the paper men
No full textIn the seventies and eighties William Golding was deeply responsive to the critical, anti-authorial ethos that followed the publication of Roland Barthes's "La mort de I'auteur" (1968). In Darkness Visible (1979) and The Paper Men (1984) he investigates means by which to reaffirm authorial presence. Working through paradox, he performs the authorial death in these novels, and establishes language’s inadequacy as a means of conveying absolute meaning, authorial "vision," truth or revelation. Having done so he nonetheless gestures towards the divine, towards the possibility of a vatic communication. In this manner the novels work upon principles of contradiction and collapse. What remains is a discourse of hope, promise, desire, without means of substantiating such optimism. Thus Golding might be said to have practiced a form of negative theology, and to have anticipated in this respect some recent trends in literary theory
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Roland Barthes's resurrection of the author and redemption of biography
No full textThe most misunderstood essay in literary theory must be Roland Barthes's 'The Death of the Author' (originally 'La mort de l'auteur', 1968). Repeatedly critics and commentators have taken this satiric jeu d'esprit literally, and have credulously assumed that it is advocating the very position that it is condemning
