Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative

The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298
Ep. #085 - Jason W. Moore
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk capital and Vanilla Isis and then (11:21) we welcome to the podcast the one and only Jason W. Moore from Binghamton University, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015) and Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (PM Press, 2016). We chat with Jason about his most recent work, co-authored with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (U California Press, 2017), forthcoming this October. We talk about why he wanted to write a book for a broader audience, the problems with the “anthropocene” concept in the human sciences, how “capitalocene” can improve our thinking about world history, and how we can avoid vulgar materialism in critical environmental research and activism today. We cover the role that states and agriculture have played in shaping modern capitalism and Jason calls for a seriously engaged pluralism to tackle the urgent challenges of our era. We discuss the cheapening or thingification of life, capitalism as a gravitational field, the importance of frontiers, the violence of the Great Domestication, and why if green energy remains in the mode of “cheap fuel” nothing will change about capitalist accumulation. Jason explains why racial and gender domination are so often lacunae in critiques of petromodernity. Finally we ruminate on how to unmake the capitalist world-ecology and the key principles of the “reparation ecology” that Jason and his colleagues are calling for. Tired of the debate within the left about whether to prioritize jobs or the environment? Then you’ll want to listen on

An Interview with Cass R. Sunstein: Author of The World According to Star Wars
No full textThe guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes
Factores que determinan el éxito de las empresas del sector metalmecánico : modelos de resiliencia
Get PDFEl sector metalmecánico de la ciudad de Manizales, es una industria que históricamente ha impulsado el desarrollo de la región, ha generado trabajo y ha establecido importantes empresas en la ciudad, con un potencial exportador significativo. En el auge de las tecnologías de la información y de las telecomunicaciones, la industria metalmecánica se ve rezagada, amenazando la estabilidad de los empresarios que actualmente viven de ella. Sin embargo, a pesar de los cambios abruptos de los entornos empresariales, económicos, financieros, políticos y sociales, las pequeñas, medianas y grandes empresas establecidas en Manizales, han logrado sobrevivir. En este trabajo se pretende encontrar la respuesta a el por qué dichas empresas sobreviven en esos entornos y además se busca indagar en ellas si son resilientes o no, aplicando la herramienta de Ranjay Gulati “The resillience Toolkit”(Gulati, 2009), ¿qué es lo que hace que una empresa sobreviva y otra no? ¿Será la resiliencia un factor de éxito empresarial? Al final de este trabajo, luego de determinar si las empresas encuestadas son resilientes o no, se propuso un modelo de resiliencia para las empresas del sector metalmecánico, que se espera, pueda ser un mapa de ruta para impulsar el desarrollo del sector (Texto tomado de la fuente)The support of state and municipal organizations in the development and sustainability of the metalworking sector of the city of Manizales has been nil compared to that received by the ICT sector in the last three years. However, companies in the metalworking, metal, steel and shipbuilding sectors have remained alive despite internal and external economic conditions that have not always been friendly in terms of financial or similar benefits. In an economy where seemingly everything revolves around new technologies, environment and ICT´s, the metalworking sector of the city of Manizales has kept alive regardless of the company size, the business plan, portfolio, or technology, most engineering sector companies have found ways to survive without the advertisement of themselves or promotion by local business support organizations. Have these companies in their structures, operating models of organizational resilience that has enabled them to stay alive despite changes in the internal or external economic environments. What makes them resilient organizations? In this research we have asked to 70 metalworking sector enterprises of the city of Manizales to determinate how and why they are adapting to the turbulent economic changes and what makes an enterprise resilient, so others can learn from this study, applying the model we designed and show at the end of this researchMaestrí
