Stigmatic bodies: The corporeal Qiu Miaojin
No full textB1 - Research Book ChaptersDeposited with permission of University of Hawaii PressQiu Miaojin (1969–1995) is Taiwan’s best-known lesbian author. In local lesbian (nütongzhi) subcultures, Qiu’s books are frequently cited as classics, particularly her 1994 novel The Crocodile’s Journal (Eyu shouji), the first novel in Taiwan’s modern literary history to be written by an author commonly known to be a lesbian that takes erotic relationships between women as its central theme. Qiu’s fiction is much celebrated, too, in the mainstream literary establishment; The Crocodile’s Journal won the prestigious China Times Honorary Prize for Literature for Qiu posthumously, following her suicide in mid-1995. Qiu’s unique literary style—mingling cerebral, experimental language use, psychological realism, biting social critique through allegory, and a surrealist effect deriving from the use of arrestingly unusual metaphors—is strongly influenced by both European and Japanese literary and cinematic modernisms. Although her fiction has been compared, in its principal subject-matter, to Radclyffe Hall’s 1920s classic of lesbian alienation, The Well of Loneliness, most frequently cited in Qiu’s writings are male modernist and postmodernist ‘masters’ (many of whose work shows a strongly homoerotic aesthetic) including Andre Gide, Jean Genet, Kobo Abe, Yukio Mishima, Haruki Murakami, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Derek Jarman—locally, Qiu’s work has been critiqued for this apparent masculinist bias. Qiu’s early short stories ‘Zero Degree’ (‘Linjiedian,’ 1988) and ‘Platonic Hair’ (‘Bolatu zhi fa,’ 1990), to be discussed in this chapter, appeared in her first collection, The Revelry of Ghosts (Guide kuanghuan) in 1991, following their earlier serialization in local daily newspapers. They are Qiu’s first works to treat thematically homoerotic desire between women

Apex convex and truncated; lateral fore borders oblique roundly; lateral parts round, becoming straight towards hind part, and forming obtuse angle with the hind margin; hind margin slightly outward (Fig. 13 G). Tegmina and wings: exceeded the end of abdomen about 9.0– 14.4 mm. Tegmina dark brown, irregularly with many small hyaline maculae, denser in margins and distal half of tegmen, and more likely with several large hyaline spots around R.

Coloration varies from yellowish brown to dark brown, some individuals with abdomen orange, but the rest parts brown. Ootheca. As Fig. 38 C–D and M, reddish brown, serration of keel large, curved. Respiratory canals well developed. The longitudinal ridges distinct. Variation. Male of the species varied in the following characters: 1) body size, according to the material we examined, we found the Suining and Dujiangyan populations with shorter tegmina and body size (Fig. 5 E–F, H), while the Simianshan population more possible to with larger body and longer tegmina (Fig. 5 G); 2) the hyaline macula on tegmina ranging from small spots to extremely large spots (Fig. 5 E, H); 3) usually the black maculae on wings distribute on the margin of M and CuA, but some extreme individuals with the maculae expand to the median of CuA area; 4) usually individuals may have dark brown pronotum and tegmina, while some individuals may have light colored pronotum and tegmina (generally light yellowish rather than brown). Natural History. This species can be found inside the dry loose earth around old houses (Figs. 40 G–J; 41 D–E), or in the broad-leaved forest (Fig. 40 A); in the forest, they would like to live together in the tree holes, the humus in the holes is a little wet, but is loose enough for them to creep (Fig. 40 B–D). In Mt. Simianshan, E. hanae were found in a cliff hole, which is difficult to be wetted by the rain, the earth in the hole is wet but loose for E. hanae (Fig. 41 A–C); plenty individuals of E. hanae were also found under the woodpiles next to a farm house at Mt. Simianshan, the earth under the woodpiles is slightly wet and loose, which is mixed with bits of wood (Fig. 41 E); the house-owner said these roaches were not originally live under her woodpiles, they were brought by the owner from the cliff at the hillside. Mt. Simianshan is wet, but the environment under the cliff is dry, the roaches were found inside the sand; the local people call Eupolyphaga roaches as “turtle bugs”, they catch them and put them in the spirit for medicine use, the house-owner also put E. hanae under her woodpiles to breed them for medicine use. Etymology. This species is named after Ms. Jing-Fei Han, who helped the first author collect the type specimens from Dujiangyan. Distribution. China (Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou) (Fig. 2). Remarks. A species distributes around Chongqing, Sichuan and Guizhou. This new species was firstly noticed by the first author in Dujiangyan since 2012, but only a photo left (Fig. 40 C). Later from 2015 to 2016, the first author successfully obtained this species from Dujiangyan again (Fig. 40 D–F), and discovered two other populations from Suining, Sichuan and Mt. Simianshan, Chongqing. All the male adults were reared from the nymphs and oothecae were obtained from the females (Figs. 40 E–F, K; 41 F–H). One specimen from GZU was captured from Xishui, where near the border between Sichuan, Chongqing and Guizhou (Fig. 2). Before the present paper is published, a pair of this new species were captured from Mt. Jinyunshan, Chongqing. The two individuals as well as several nymphs were found inside the humus under a stone table in the forest and a nearby small hole under a cliff.Published as part of Qiu, Lu, Che, Yang-Li & Wang, Zong-Qing, 2018, A taxonomic study of Eupolyphaga Chopard, 1929 (Blattodea: Corydiidae: Corydiinae), pp. 1-68 in Zootaxa 4506 (1) on pages 16-18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4506.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/260671

Reconstruction of f(R) models with scale-invariant power spectrum
No full textAbstractFollowing our previous work in [T. Qiu, JCAP 1206 (2012) 041 [1]], in this Letter, we continue our study of reconstructing f(R) modified gravity models that can be connected to a single scalar field in general relativity via conformal transformation, which lead to scale-invariant power spectrum in the early universe. With f(R) modified gravity, one does not need to introduce extra scalar, the nature of which are to be explained. Different from general nonminimal coupling theory, the behavior of the f(R) theory has been fixed by its counterpart in Einstein frame, and thus have one-to-one correspondence. Numerical plots of the functional form of f(R) as well as the evolution of R in terms of cosmic time t are also presented

In a comparison with <i>Astiotrema</i> (<i>sensu stricto</i>), <i>Longigula</i> exhibits the same morphology, in particular, possessing a unipartite sacciform seminal vesicle within the cirrus-pouch (see Qiu <i>et al</i>. 1983, figs. 1, 4) as well as sharing the same host group (Geoemydidae) and recorded common locality (China) (see Karar <i>et al</i>. 2021). Based on the nature of the seminal vesicle within the Plagiorchiidae (bipartite, tubular or coiled) either at the expanded or restricted levels, we find <i>Longigula</i> does not resemble plagiorchiids; it appears most closely related to <i>Astiotrema</i> (<i>sensu stricto</i>) and its derived and closely related genera (<i>Homeoastiotrema</i>, <i>Ichthyastiotrema</i> and <i>Plesioastiotrema</i>) in almost all morphology except its possessing papillae-like lateral lobes or ventrolateral lappets on both sides of the oral sucker, a post-equatorial ovary, and a distinctly large distance separating the ovary from the ventral sucker (see Qiu <i>et al</i>. 1983).</p>Published as part of <i>Karar, Yasser F.
