Abstract:

Love him or loathe him, Professor Günther von Hagens has set the scientific and art worlds alight with his controversial exhibition of plastinated humans stripped of their skins. The exhibition has made it to the unglamourous Old Truman Brewery in London's East End, and was sending shockwaves through the media, and even Parliament, before it even opened. Set in thought-provoking positions, are the pieces there for education or are they an abomination?

Abstract:

<sub>Body Worlds is an informative scientific exhibition which displays human anatomical specimens that have been conserved using plastination, an innovative technique invented by Gunter Von Hagens. The Body Worlds allows visitors not only to observe the exposed bodies as mere aesthetic phenomena but also to think about the quality of the relationship that can be established with their own body. The exhibition can be considered an opportunity to effectively participate in the creation of new meanings about body; in this sense Body Worlds is a valid example of performative pedagogy, a democrati

Abstract:

When I told my family doctor that I was going to visit Body Worlds — an exhibition of anatomical models comprised of “real” bodies — at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, she told me that she had mixed feelings about this kind of display. She was curious to see it, of course, and thought that it might be instructive for the general public; but, in her experience as a medical student, any room containing bodies was a place to be treated with respect and a quiet reverence — voices at a whisper, a high seriousness at all times. She expected to find the jostling, noisy crowds, working their wa

Abstract:

This article argues that avant-garde exhibition design was at the forefront of constructing elastic worlds for bodies of all shapes, heights and sizes, yet there is a dearth of scholarship recognizing what these innovations mean for addressing diversity in the museum. The work of designers such as Frederick Kiesler offers excellent templates for thinking outside the frame, paving the way for exhibition design to be more cognizant of a greater variation of embodied experiences in museum architecture. Despite this, museums still lag behind in thinking about this plethora of needs. In the current

Abstract:

Body Worlds is a hugely popular exhibition that claims to offer a reverential and educational experience of the ‘real human body’ through the display of plastinated dead human bodies. However, because they are posed, staged, and composed of significant nonhuman artifice, plastinates are ambivalently ‘real’ as human bodies, let alone ‘real’ as humans. Plastinates are as much nonhuman as human, and neither category fully accounts for them. In this article, I discuss the consequences of this for feminist theory.

This paper focuses on the work of contemporary French artist Marguerite Humeau, specifically her 2018-19 exhibition “Birth Canal” and her 2016-17 exhibition “FOXP2.” Building on Surrealism’s interest in subverting the viewer’s notion of the real, the two exhibitions expand and reimagine the relationship between Woman, Nature, and the automaton. Humeau’s work makes the viewer question their understanding of gender, particularly whether behaviours that are codified as “female” in humans can easily be transposed onto the mechanical and the natural worlds.

We want to argue that what appears to be sheer concatenation of morphological building blocks, often routinely classified as a compound word with a lefthand bound root, could, in fact, be interpreted as a derived noun based on a phrasal unit.

Abstract In 2010, Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson lost her father. This shifted her art significantly, and she recalls that, for the first time, she began to work with death in her practice.

What is unexpected about the complicated tapestry of ideas in Patterson's work is that, through its use of cloth to memorialize death, it offers an evocative connection to the use of adornment and clothing in dancehall culture and its connec

They all benefited not just from the low rents, but also from the close, often intimate, presence of other residents who inspired them to explore new creative paths. Around the same time, across the Atl

Abstract:

Augmented Reality—The Liminal Zone Within the larger context of the post-desktop technological philosophy and practice, an increasing number of efforts are directed towards finding solutions for integrating as close as possible virtual information into specific real environments; a short list of such endeavors include Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS-driven navigation, mobile phones, GIS (Geographic Information System), and various technological systems associated with what is loosely called locative, ubiquitous and pervasive computing. Augmented Reality (AR) is directly related to these technologies,

INTRODUCTIONEstimates are that 5% of the world's population aged 15–64 years used illegal drugs in the year 2015 and that 27 million people are heavy drug users. According the WHO (2015), in Brazil between 2001 and 2007, there were 392 registered deaths of Brazilians in alcohol‐related accidents, and the Northeast Region is responsible for 27.8% of drug related deaths. In this context, the “Weaving the Human Body” is an initiative that seeks to promote an innovative way of teaching anatomy.

Abstract:

Fish in all the world’s oceans exhibit variable body size and growth over time, with some species or populations exhibiting long-term declines in size. These patterns can be caused by a range of biotic, abiotic, and anthropogenic factors and impact the productivity of harvested populations. Within a given species, individuals often exhibit a range of life-history strategies that may cause some groups to be buffered against change. One of the most studied declines in size at age has been in populations of salmon; Chinook salmon in the Northeast Pacific Ocean are the largest bodied salmon specie

Abstract The Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) Posidonienschiefer Formation of southwestern Germany is a classic konservat lagerstätte, yielding some of the world’s best-preserved fossils of marine vertebrates, including ichthyosaurs, thalattosuchian crocodylomorphs, plesiosaurs and fishes. Despite numerous studies concentrating on the taphonomy of ichthyosaurs in this formation, less taphonomic work has focussed on the thalattosuchians of the assemblage. Multiple thalattosuchian species displaying a wide range of body sizes have been recovered. We investigated indicators for seafloor arrival position

Abstract:

: Cancer is the world’s second leading cause of death after heart diseases, and involves abnormal cell growth at a primary site and the potential to spread to other parts of the body. Tumors are highly heterogeneous and consist of subgroups of cells with distinct characteristics. Of these, the cancer stem cells (CSC) niche plays a crucial role in driving the spread of the tumor and are thought to provide treatment resistance. CSC is a rare special population of cancer cells exhibiting high tumorigenic properties together with self-renewal and differentiation capability. CSC is not only linked

Abstract:

Abstract Pangolins are one of the most threatened mammal groups, as a result of habitat loss and exploitation for their meat, scales, and other body parts. However, there is a lack of quantitative data on pangolin populations; their behaviour and ecology make them challenging to survey. We undertook systematic camera-trap surveys of the 5260 km2 World Heritage Dja Faunal Reserve, Cameroon, sampling 305 sites in eight grids over 28,277 camera-trap days. We recorded 768 images of giant pangolin in 99 independent detections at 57 sites (RAI = 0.35), and 2282 images in 355 detections (RAI = 1.26)

Using robust Bayesian modeling, we report three major findings: (1) FES subjects showed reduced analytic thinking, exhibiting a less categorical linguistic style than healthy control (HC) subjects (Bayes factor, BF10 &gt; 1000), despite using the same p

The ontological equality and material vitality of all things, and efforts to remove “the human” from its apical position in a hierarchy of being, are Object-Oriented Ontology theory (OOO) concepts. These axioms are useful in a discussion of the aesthetics of augmented robotic art, alongside speculations regarding any interagency between the human/non-human and possible co-evolutionary relationships. In addition, they help to wash out the sticky habits of conventional art writing, such as removed critique or an authoritative expert voice. This article aims to address the robotic work Accomplice

Orvell noted that despite the evolution of society, imitation and authenticity function as “compass points” that guide meaning-making and retain potency as humans continue to negotiate the real and the unreal in society (ix). Describing the natural and the artificial, Birnbacher contended that, simply put, it is the difference “between what has ‘become’ and what has been ‘made’” (2): the view is that if something exists independent of human intervention, then that would make it a natural entity. Of course, he noted such a definition was not straightforward, citing examples of products manufact

Lincolnshire, England. The crowd cheer when the ball breaks loose. From one end of the field to the other, the players chase, their snouts hovering just above the grass. It’s not a case of four legs being better, rather a novel way to attract customers to the Woodside Wildlife and Falconry Park. During the matches, volunteers are drawn from the crowd to hold goal posts at either end of the run the pigs usually race on. With five pigs playing, two teams of two and a referee, and a ball designed to leak feed as it rolls (Stevenson) the ten-minute competition is fraught with tension. While the pi
