    President of Crimea. Constitution : Author(s) Autonomous Republic of Xena-Maria

    No full text
    In this essay, two voices are heared, from two women: a certain artist Xena, who talks about her life and its dramas, interwoven with her own experiences from her diaries; and the voice of Maria, who analyzes Xena's life story and her art, diffracted through the prim of the history of 21stC art.  Art the outset, "President of Crimea. Constitution", announces its author as Xena-Maria; but it is not yet clear whether the author is one person or two, nor who they are. Is it Maria who writes here, or Xena, or both? Or are they one and the same person? But at the end of the story, which is told rather in a form of certain legends and fairy tales, Maria and Xena turn into one whole, and meaningfully put an ellipsis after the words "to be continued". This reception was specially intended by the artist Maria Kulikovska, author of this essay, in order to protect both herself and the reader from possible persecutions by migration services and goverment officials of various countries, especially Russia. Also, for her it is an opportunity to step aside and analyze her own life and art form a third person, about which, perhaps, a fictional character from her childhood talks - a sensible step for Maria Kulikovska. The step that her creative language conceptually continues is to replicate casts of her own body and establish them in different spaces and contexts. So she fairly confuses the viewer as to where is the truth, and where is fiction; where is herself, and where is her clone - only now, here, she has applied the same trick in her text. This essay tells a very personal story of the life of a human body, a migrant woman in forced relocation, displacements, alienation and persecutions for her views on life and the conduct of society, and for her moral values expressed throught architecture, sculpture, drawings, performances, actions and public statements. Through the prism of geopolitical upheavals, it tells the artist's own story: How her analysis of own body position and boundaries helped her overcome stigma regarding the body of a woman from Eastern Europe, and how art can save and redeem in an unending inner drama.

    RCSB Protein Data Bank: A Resource for Chemical, Biochemical, and Structural Explorations of Large and Small Biomolecules

    The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) Protein Data Bank (PDB) supports scientific research and education worldwide by providing access to annotated information about three-dimensional (3D) structures of macromolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins), and associated small molecules (e.g., drugs, cofactors, inhibitors) in the PDB archive. Researchers, educators, and students use RCSB PDB resources to study the shape and interactions of biological molecules and their implications in molecular biology, medicine, biotechnology, and beyond. RCSB PDB supports development of standards for data deposition, representation, annotation, and validation of atomic structural data obtained from various experimental methods. Uniform representation of PDB data is essential for providing consistent search and analysis capabilities for all PDB users, from beginning students to domain experts. The RCSB PDB Web site provides tools for searching, visualizing, and analyzing PDB data, including easy exploration of chemical interactions that stabilize macromolecules and play important roles in their interactions and functions. In addition, educational resources are available for free and unrestricted use in the classroom for exploring chemistry and biology at the molecular level.This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in Journal of Chemical Education, copyright © American Chemical Society after peer review and technical editing by the publisher.

    K. Relato de uma busca, de Bernardo Kucinski: A agonia e o reviver do trauma na literatura brasileira

    No full text
    In this article, a hermeneutic analysis will be made of the short story “As cartas à destinatária inexistente” which is part of the novel K. Relato de uma busca, by Bernardo Kucinski. We tried to highlight the constant remembrance of the trauma and, in a general panorama, the agonizing state of a father's search for his daughter, politically missing during the Brazilian military dictatorship. In this sense, the background is the intersection of social aspects of an oppressive regime in Brazil, as well as the memory generated by the trauma and the social oblivion of this dictatorial period. Also, we sought to highlight the aesthetics of the novel used by the author to emphasize the agonizing subject in his traumatic aspect. For the undertaken analysis will be used as theoretical foundation: Márcio Seligmann, Enrique Padrós and Nelly Richard.No presente artigo far-se-á uma análise hermenêutica do conto As cartas à destinatária inexistente que integra o romance K. Relato de uma busca, de Bernardo Kucinski. Procurou-se evidenciar a constante rememoração do trauma e, num panorama geral, o agônico estado de busca de um pai, por sua filha, desaparecida política na ditadura militar brasileira. Nesse sentido, tem-se como pano de fundo o entrecruzamento de aspectos sociais de um regime opressivo no Brasil, bem como, a memória gerada pelo trauma e o esquecimento social desse período ditatorial. Também, buscou-se evidenciar a estética do romance utilizada pelo autor para dar ênfase ao sujeito agônico em seu aspecto traumático. Para a análise empreendida serão utilizados como fundamentação teórica: Márcio Seligmann, Enrique Padrós e Nelly Richard

    "Pathology and Seductiveness in Williams' Language of Love"

    A cominciare dalle origini della riflessione contemporanea sulla poesia di W C Williams (dal lavoro di critici come K. Burke, M.Perloff, J. Riddel, A.Gelpi) l'autrice Si concentra sugli aspetti classici e botanici del fiore (asfodelo) per metterne in luce i legami metaforici con la propria patologia cardiologica e interpretarlo come simbolo di seduzione.Taking stock from the most and less recent studies on W.C.Wlliams (K. Burke, M Perloff, J Riddel, A. Gelpi), the author examines the flower metaphor in ints classical and botanic aspects to look at the way in which the poet makes it a metaphor for his own heart problems and, as well, a symbol of seductiveness
