Present-day stress orientations and tectonic provinces of the NW Borneo collisional margin
No full textExtent: 15p.Borehole failure observed on image and dipmeter logs from 55 petroleum wells across the NW Borneo collisional margin were used to determine maximum horizontal stress (σH) orientations; combined with seismic and outcrop data, they define seven tectonic provinces. The Baram Delta–Deepwater Fold-Thrust Belt exhibits three tectonic provinces: its inner shelf inverted province (σH is NW-SE, margin-normal), its outer shelf extension province (σH is NE-SW, margin-parallel), and its slope to basin floor compression province (σH is NW-SE, margin-normal). In the inverted province, σH reflects inversion of deltaic normal faults. The σH orientations in the extension and compression provinces reflect deltaic gravitational tectonics. The shale and minibasin provinces have been recognized in offshore Sabah. In the shale province, σH is N010°E, which aligns around the boundary of a massif of mobile shale. Currently, no data are available to determine σH in the minibasin province. In the Balingian province, σH is ESE-WNW, reflecting ESE absolute Sunda plate motions due to the absence of a thick detachment seen elsewhere in NW Borneo. The Central Luconia province demonstrates poorly constrained and variable σH orientations. These seven provinces result from the heterogeneous structural and stratigraphic development of the NW Borneo margin and formed due to complex collisional tectonics and the varied distribution and thicknesses of stratigraphic packages.Rosalind C.

Sequence Stratigraphy, Chemostratigraphy and Facies Analysis of Cambrian Series 2 - Series 3 Boundary Strata in Northwestern Scotland
No full textGlobally, the Series 2 - Series 3 boundary of the Cambrian System coincides with a major carbon isotope excursion, sea-level changes and trilobite extinctions. Here we examine the sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy and carbon isotope record of this interval in the Cambrian strata (Durness Group) of NW Scotland. Carbonate carbon isotope data from the lower part of the Durness Group (Ghrudaidh Formation) show that the shallow-marine, Laurentian margin carbonates record two linked sea-level and carbon isotopic events. Whilst the carbon isotope excursions are not as pronounced as those expressed elsewhere, correlation with global records (Sauk I - Sauk II boundary and Olenellus biostratigraphic constraint) identifies them as representing the local expression of the ROECE and DICE. The upper part of the ROECE is recorded in the basal Ghrudaidh Formation whilst the DICE is seen around 30m above the base of this unit. Both carbon isotope excursions co-occur with surfaces interpreted to record regressive-transgressive events that produced amalgamated sequence boundaries and ravinement/flooding surfaces overlain by conglomerates of reworked intraclasts. The ROECE has been linked with redlichiid and olenellid trilobite extinctions, but in NW Scotland, Olenellus is found after the negative peak of the carbon isotope excursion but before sequence boundary formation

“I am the sole author”: inauthenticity and Intertextuality in Zadie Smith’s NW
No full textThis article examines the role of intertextuality in Zadie Smith’s NW (2012) and the novel’s questioning of authorship, authenticity and identity. Relying on intertextual and postcolonial theories, the article lays bare how Smith’s novel questions the fixity and stability of selves and how she situates herself as an inherently intertextual author disrupted by others and potentially disruptive of (post)colonial ways of being and one that plays with notions of (in)authenticity and originality. For this purpose, the article pays attention to the novel’sintertextual links with the historical case of the Tichborne claimant and Jorge Luis Borges’s fictionalisation of it in the short story “Tom Castro, the Implausible Impostor,” included in the collection A Universal History of Infamy (1933). Moreover, the article focuses on the theorisation of infamy, understood as the disruption of hegemonic narratives brought about by marginal characters and discourses.Este artículo explora el papel de la intertextualidad en la novela NW (2012) de Zadie Smith
y cómo esta cuestiona los conceptos de autoría, autenticidad e identidad. Basándose en
teorías sobre la intertextualidad y el poscolonialismo, el artículo expone cómo la novela
de Smith cuestiona la inamovilidad y estabilidad del yo y cómo la propia Smith se sitúa
como una autora intertextual interrumpida por otros y potencialmente disruptiva de los modos de ser (pos)coloniales, una autora que juega con las nociones de lo (in)auténtico y
lo original. Para ilustrar este propósito, el artículo presta atención al vínculo intertextual
entre la novela, el caso Tichborne y la ficcionalización de este último en la historia corta “El
impostor inverosímil Tom Castro” de Jorge Luis Borges, incluida en la colección Historia
Universal de la Infamia (1933). Asimismo, este artículo se centra en la teorización de la
infamia, entendida como un modo de irrupción de los personajes y discursos marginales en
las narrativas hegemónicas
Buscando un “tipo diferente de libertad”: postcolonialismo y sujeto postfeminista en NW de Zadie Smith
No full textThis paper attempts to open a new line of inquiry into Zadie Smith’s fourth novel NW (2012) by drawing attention to her investment in the contemporary feminine experience. I argue that by bringing women to center stage, NW marks a turning point in Smith’s fiction, while also bearing the hallmarks of the author’s previous work, namely her concern with Britain’s postcolonial legacy and issues of human connection. While Smith’s focus on self-monitoring educated women links the text to a postfeminist paradigm, the fact that these characters, and others, are of immigrant background locates the novel in the terrain of Britain’s postcolonial history and its multicultural present in twenty-first century London. My contention will be that far from adopting a celebratory approach to her postfeminist subjects as harbingers of social change, Smith points at the disabling aspects of this ideology, and the prevalence of racial and gender inequalities, problematizing individualistic notions of failure as self-responsibility.Este artículo pretende abrir una nueva línea de investigación en el estudio de NW (2012), la cuarta novela de Zadie Smith, prestando atención a su exploración de la experiencia femenina contemporánea. La centralidad de los personajes femeninos hace de esta obra un punto de inflexión en la narrativa de Smith, al mismo tiempo que la novela despliega las idiosincrasias de la autora, en particular su preocupación por el legado postcolonial de Gran Bretaña y por el tema de la conexión humana. Si bien el énfasis en una generación femenina formada y autónoma liga el texto a un paradigma postfeminista, el hecho de que estos personajes y otros sean de origen emigrante ancla la novela en el terreno familiar de la historia postcolonial británica y su presente multicultural en el siglo XXI. Se intentará demostrar que más allá de celebrar al sujeto postfeminista como emblema del cambio social, Smith interroga los aspectos negativos de esta ideología y la prevalencia de desigualdad de género y racial, problematizando nociones individualistas del fracaso como responsabilidad personal
