Displaced desires : the dislocated self and melancholic desire in Chuang Hua's Crossings and Fae Myenne Ng's Steer toward rock
2015
This essay investigates two aesthetically innovative Chinese American prose narratives, Crossings (1968) by Chuang Hua and Steer Toward Rock (2008) by Fae Myenne Ng, which have so far inspired relatively few scholarly readings. Although published forty years apart, both texts convey a melancholic image of displaced desires—loved ones who are lost, beyond reach, or unresponsive—that is echoed by their complex narrative structure and rich stylistic repertoire. Drawing from the psychoanalytically informed notion of racial melancholia, this essay argues that in Chuang’s Crossings and in Ng’s Steer Toward Rock the dynamics of melancholia manifest most prominently in the ways their dislocated cha…
Elogio del populismo (en ciertas circunstancias). Notas sobre el kirchnerismo en Argentina
2014
Los trabajos de Ernesto Laclau (2005, 2009) han inspirado una teoría política del populismo que constituye una superación de los enfoques precedentes y que conviene revisar como andamiaje analítico y heurístico. Esta teoría nos ayuda a reconstruir tres dimensiones polémicas que han sido objeto de los estudios sobre la temática. Primero, el populismo asociado a un tipo de discurso. Segundo, como una lógica política que apunta a la producción de una identidad popular (el pueblo) a partir de la interpelación y de la articulación. Tercero, como un proceso político que refiere a la inclusión radical, la transformación del orden social y su relación con la democracia. Como veremos, esta diferenci…

Large stocks of peatland carbon and nitrogen are vulnerable to permafrost thaw
2020
Significance Over many millennia, northern peatlands have accumulated large amounts of carbon and nitrogen, thus cooling the global climate. Over shorter timescales, peatland disturbances can trigger losses of peat and release of greenhouses gases. Despite their importance to the global climate, peatlands remain poorly mapped, and the vulnerability of permafrost peatlands to warming is uncertain. This study compiles over 7,000 field observations to present a data-driven map of northern peatlands and their carbon and nitrogen stocks. We use these maps to model the impact of permafrost thaw on peatlands and find that warming will likely shift the greenhouse gas balance of northern peatlands. …
A future for Kiribati. New models for resilient housing settlements
2023
According to the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, the sea level has grown at a rate of 3.6 mm per year in the period between 2005 and 2015, increasing faster over the last century due to the melting of ice caps and the thermal expansion of the ocean. This increases the risks for populations living in coastal areas and in particular for those living in arctic regions and in the atolls, like the islands of Kiribati which, by the middle of the century, could become uninhabitable. The coastal protection systems and the adaptation processes that use ecosystems and solutions derived from nature (ecosystem-based adaptation), foresee rather long realization times an…
Breaking molds: Oswaldella laertesi, sp. nov., a unique Antarctic species of Oswaldella Stechow, 1919 (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Kirchenpaueriidae)
2007
A new species of the Antarctic genus Oswaldella Stechow is described and figured, and its position amongst the remaining species of the genus is discussed. The material was collected from the Ross Sea area (Antarctica) during the BioRoss survey of the western Ross Sea and Balleny Islands in 2004. Oswaldella laertesi, sp. nov., is unique amongst known species of the genus in having hydrocladia arranged in three longitudinal rows.
