A molecular perspective on carbon capture
No full textLimiting carbon output is indeed one route to a sustainable future, but in parallel, what if the waste carbons could be efficiently recaptured and effectively recycled—i.e., flipping carbon from a waste to a resource? Unlike separating plastic containers from a bin, extracting gaseous carbon dioxide and monoxide (among other products) from the atmosphere is a large-scale problem that requires molecular solutions. Herein, Jeff Reimer discusses the challenges, opportunities, and emerging material technologies for carbon capture

An Ethnographer in Poland: On Experience as a Mode of Engaging Jewishness
No full textMuseums have become especially prominent sites of Jewish experience—not only in Poland but elsewhere, including cities with large Jewish populations—as permanent and very publicly visible institutions. Their presence looms large despite the fact that many, if not most, people will visit a given museum only once, spending an hour or two there. Given its scope and salience, the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is poised to become the keystone in the arch of Polish Jewish experience
Enacting Ethnicity: Yiddishkeit Masked and Unmasked on the Contemporary American Stage
No full textTwo recent productions of American dramas employed provocative strategies for enacting Jewish ethnicity: National Asian American Theatre Company’s performance of Clifford Odets’s Awake and Sing! with an all-Asian American cast and New Yiddish Rep’s staging of Toyt fun a seylsman, a Yiddish translation of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Each production entails a different approach to performing Jewishness that exemplifies these companies’ respective artistic agendas regarding the enactment of ethnicity, resulting in complex performances of masking and unmasking Jewishness. Moreover, their analysis illuminates how ethnicity is conceptualized and realized in the United States in the early decades of the twenty-first century. Yiddish appears strategically, if often obliquely, in the histories of composition, production, and reception for both dramas, emblematic of shifting notions of enacting ethnicity.Peer reviewe
