Abstract:
AbstractIconic early European maps of the Caribbean depict neatly parcelled plantations, sugar mills, towns, and fortifications juxtaposed against untamed interiors sketched with runaway slaves and Indigenous toponyms. These extra-geographical symbols of racial and spatial meaning projected desire and design to powerful audiences. Abstractions about material life influenced colonial perceptions and actions upon a space, often to deleterious effects for the Indigenous and African people who were abused in tandem with the region's flora and fauna. The scientific revolution curbed these proscriptive and descriptive ‘thick-mapped’ features that offer historians an underexplored record of early colonial Caribbean life beyond the geographically descriptive. Before this shift from mystery to mastery, the early correlation of colonization and cartography in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries provides a fascinating glimpse into the process of creating the Americas. This article offers ideas for deconstructing old maps as new sources for historians of the early Atlantic World. As digital readers may explore through the roughly fifty maps linked via the footnotes, their informative spectacle naturalized colonialism upon lived and imagined race and space, created an exoticized, commodified Caribbean, and facilitated wealth extraction projects of competing empires made profitable by African labour on Indigenous land.

Abstract:
In 1654 Dutch anatomist Thomas Bartholin published an illustration of a skeletal forelimb and a rib from an animal that had been caught off the coast of Brazil. Bartholin identified the specimen as a merman. Subsequent authors have hypothesized that it was a human with sirenomelia (fused legs). However, it is now acknowledged that mer-people are mythical and the drawing of the specimen does not match expected morphology for a human with sirenomelia. Until now, therefore, the correct identity of the specimen has remained unknown. Bartholin gave details on the specimen's size and added that before it was skeletonized the fingers were joined by a common membrane. We therefore compared Bartholin's illustration with the forelimb skeletons of west Atlantic marine animals of appropriate size in which the fingers are embedded in a flipper. The morphology of the specimen matches that of a manatee (Trichechus sp.) and is significantly different from that of the Caribbean monk seal (Monachus tropicalis) and from those of whales (Cetacea). The specimen was therefore a manatee, and a three-century-old zoological mystery is solved.

Abstract:
Tout-Monde, Glissant ... comme ses noms l’indiquent In the field of Caribbean literature, Edouard Glissant from Martinique occupies a unique place. His aim as stated at the beginning of his career, has been to create a supra-rational language able to reach the depths of West Indian sub-consciousness in order to free it. In one of his recent novels (Tout-Monde - 1993), the therapeutic function of his writing seems to be overcome by the task of global obscuring. The extreme complexity of the spatio and temporal structure bears witness to this point, as does the particular effort that the writer puts into his use of the names of his characters and the manner in which he plays with them. This article, though an onomastic perspective, is a census of the absence of certain names, the sophisticated jamming of others, their versatility and ever-changing nature as well as many other remarkable fluctuations which constitute a metonymy of desire: the desire to hide a secret which is perhaps the mystery of literary creation. With the help of examples taken from other Caribbean writers (Confiant, Chamoiseau), the danger of decoding what is hidden behind the mentioned names is underlined through three characters, all called Anestor. What comes out of this analysis is that the decoding is bound and meant to fail. The reader is to be lost in the labyrinth of the novel by the will of the writer. A crossed-out quotation suggests that statements, contradictions, negations are all part of a unique process which is part of the attempt to re-read the history of Creole literature and to foresee what its future might have in store.

Abstract. The French Caribbean Archipelago of Guadeloupe is located over the Lesser Antilles active subduction zone, where a handful of earthquakes have reached magnitudes of Mw = 7.0 (moment magnitude) and more. According to available catalogs, these earthquakes have been able to trigger devastating tsunamis, either directly by the shake or indirectly by induced landslides. The Guadeloupe Archipelago is known to have suffered from several violent earthquakes, including the 1843 Mw ~ 8.5 megathrust event. In this study, we discuss the potential impact of a tsunami generation scenario of a Mw = 8.5 rupture at the subduction interface using numerical modeling and high resolution bathymetric data within the framework of tsunami hazard assessment for Guadeloupe. Despite the fact that the mystery remains unresolved concerning the lack of historical tsunami data for the 1843 event, modeling results show that the tsunami impact is not uniformly distributed in the whole archipelago and could show important maximum wave heights. This is easily explained by the bathymetry and the presence of several islands around the main island leading to resonance phenomena, and because of the existence of a fringing coral reef partially surrounding Guadeloupe Island and its satellites. We then discuss the role of source parameters, the arrival times and the protective role of fringing coral reefs surrounding the islands, using tsunami modeling applied on two Guadeloupian touristic coastal places: Sainte-Anne and Saint-François.

Abstract:
Background and context: When the Ministry of Health of Colombia decided to provide the HPV vaccination free of charge to all Colombians girls age 9-13 in the year 2012 we were very happy. Aim: This certainly was a wise decision in the right direction in a country where cervical cancer is a major public health issue. Strategy/Tactics: The campaign was launched with great enthusiasm and in the first two years we were able to vaccinate 95% of the targeted population. Program/policy process: But in Colombia, happiness seems to be of short duration. In a small village of the Caribbean region (Carmen de Bolivar), 15 girls were admitted to the emergency of the local hospital with bizarre symptoms such as abdominal pain, headaches, dizziness, some did faint on admission. All the girls were adolescents from the same school and grade. Initially the situation was attributed to a kind of food poisoning. Who and why “someone” decided to blame this clinical syndromes to the HPV vaccination is something that still remains in mystery. Specially when the vaccination was administered many months before. Unfortunately, the media, some lawyers and some irresponsible local politicians took advantage of this situation to promote social unrest, blaming the government and the pharmaceutical company that produces the vaccine as the culprits of the medical event and looking for economic compensations. Outcomes: To make things worse, the Colombian Academy of Medicine wrote an unfortunately statement that gave support to discredit the safety of the vaccine. Fortunately, but late, two months later a new statement was published by the Academy saying that the vaccine was safe and encouraging the Ministry of Health to continue the program. But the damage was done! The vaccination dropped from 95% to 14%. And three years after the episode we haven't been able to recover our initial figures...we are still below 20% nationwide. What was learned: There are many things that need to be learned from the Colombian nightmare. First...Communication is of major importance in dealing with a health crisis. The health authorities need to give quick answers and reassure the community about the safety of the vaccine. The academia and the scientific societies are obliged to pronounced themselves in an issue of such importance and invite their associates to encourage the vaccination among adolescents. Second...empower women making them realize that this program is for their daughters that deserve a better future free of cervical cancer. Third, educate the community, the medical doctors and nurses regarding the safety and importance of the vaccine. We must speak up! And don't tremble and look weak in front of the virulent antivaccine groups. What happened in Colombia can happen in any country. And the consequences will be paid by the next generation. There are no excuses! Not a single women should die of cervical cancer in the future. Not a single one.

Abstract:
Agatha Christie set a number of her popular novels in British colonies in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean. While there is a lot of research about the portrayal of the colonised in the Middle East, there is only little to be found on those of Africa and the Caribbean. Therefore, this thesis aims to compare the portrayals of the Middle Eastern, African and Caribbean colonised by analysing Christie's The Man in the Brown Suit, Murder in Mesopotamia, Appointment with Deah, and A Caribbean Mystery.
