DRIFT: Art and Dark Matter
No full textWhat do we desire from the imperceptible? Four artists were invited to travel deep underground to SNOLAB to think with dark matter, an invisible matter that is having a gravitational effect on everything. Without this “dark” matter, galaxies would fly apart, according to observational data in astroparticle physics. Given the contours of such a “known unknown,” Nadia Lichtig, Josèfa Ntjam, Anne Riley, and Jol Thoms reflect on the how and why of physics and art as interrelating practices. The artists’ widely varied and challenging responses include expressions of new kinds of sensitivity and poetic freedom, questions about the task of knowledge, and cartographies of entangled social and ecological relations. Thinking across disciplines, they have created works that connect scientific ideas of dark matter with a far-reaching care for that which has not been sensed. Could this work excite stealthy solidarities of curiosity across (and despite) art and science?

Dark angels : a study of Anne Rice's Vampire chronicles
No full textThe international success of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, and the release
of the film Interview with the Vampire (based on her novel of the same name) has
fueled an explosion of interest in the vampire genre, resulting in further
incarnations of the vampire story in fiction and film. This study attempts to
analyse Rice's development of the vampire narrative in relation to a body of
novels and short stories which comprise a recognizable genre.
The first chapter has three sections: an Introduction comprising a comparison
between the Chronicles and Bram Stoker's Dracula,- a study of the Chronicles as a
metaphor for homoeroticism and AIDS; and a study of the psychoanalytic aspects
of vampirism linked with the concept of Rice's vampire as a Sadean hero. The
second chapter has two sections: an analysis of Rice's representations of
femininiiy; and a study of the myths of womanhood employed in the novels,
together with the origins of these myths. The third chapter has two sections: a
focus on the complex self-conscious and moral life of Rice's vampires in relation
to contemporary consciousness and subjectivity; and a comparison of Rice's
treatment of genre, historical romance and erotica with the vampire narratives of
her contemporaries. The fourth and concluding chapter is a summary of Rice's
treatment of genre, gender and religion in relation to evolving feminist, cultural
and psychoanalytic debates, including reference to material from her other
novels.
In her self-conscious appropriation of the vampire tradition, Rice introduces a
wider scope to the formulaic elements of the gothic genre, interweaving different
genres with the gothic horror story. Her innovative approach to the vampire
novel, with its complexity of intermingling issues, leaves many unanswered
questions. It is the unresolved nature of the contradictions and paradoxes intrinsic
to Rice's work that disturb and generate further debate
Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer
No full text‘Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer’ is a critical and creative answer to the question: How do we construct Anne Shirley, and what does she mean to us? This creative research submission is a work of fanfiction, specifically a mash up based on Anne of the Island, L.M.M. Montgomery’s sequel to Anne of Green Gables. In this short work of fiction (under 4 thousand words) Anne is revealed as a changeling, one of the Faerie Folk, and also a being not strictly male or female; sometimes neither, sometimes both. The mash up is based on the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, the scenes in which Gilbert Blythe is seriously ill and Anne realises she loves him. This realisation causes Anne, in this version, to reveal to Gilbert that she is both non-human and not a girl, and to use Faerie magic to save Gilbert’s life. Anne’s revelation causes Gilbert a great relief, as he has been keeping a secret also - that he too is queer. The piece has an accompanying research statement and reflection, that reflects on the ways the contributor/author interprets Anne, as a being troubled by gender, and not strictly gender conforming. The much-loved scene from Anne of Green Gables in which Anne realises she is not wanted by the Cuthberts because she is not a boy is inserted into the mash up (as a memory) as this scene is the principal cause for the contributor’s identification with Anne as a gender non-conforming figure who resists gender expectations. Overall, this creative and critical work and reflection queers both Anne as a character and the Anne of the Island novel.Book chapter - work of fiction with a critical reflective essa
A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture
Indirect analysis of oligonucleotides using cleavable small molecule mass tags with detection by mass spectrometry
No full textIn the 1990s, siRNAs and microRNAs were discovered to be naturally occurring genetic regulators. This provided a new potential mechanism of action for drugs with applicability to a wide range of therapeutic areas. Consequently, a substantial increase into oligonucleotide research has occurred, leading to the need for improved and novel techniques for their analysis. Standard methods of oligonucleotide analysis are based on hybridisation assays with analysis via detection probes labelled with fluorescent tags. However, multiplexing potential is limited due to the broad, and thus often overlapping, signals emitted.An alternative to labelling detection probes with fluorescent tags is to use cleavable small molecule mass tags with detection by mass spectrometry. Herein, a self-reporting detection probe was designed for use in a hybridisation assay for indirect oligonucleotide detection via cleavable small molecule mass tags. The self-reporting detection probe contains an analyte complementary region and a reporter region. The reporter region is a custom designed DNA/RNA chimeric nucleotide sequence. The ribose-phosphate backbone is used as a built-in enzyme cleavable linker, generating small nucleotide products upon cleavage by RNase A. These nucleotides can then serve as mass tags for indirect detection of oligonucleotides. This system avoids the need to design or synthesise a cleavable linker by exploiting the properties of the RNA molecule. This approach was used for the successful detection of a synthetic microRNA and the multiplexing potential was demonstrated by the simultaneous detection of two RNAs
