Abstract:
Abstract: During the period of Caribbean decolonization (1950–65), a subset of Caribbean authors reimagined the temporal role of the continental Caribbean's tropical interior: rather than a space outside history that colonists or residents could use as a resource to construct historical progress, the tropical hinterlands became a historical agent that possessed and assimilated people into an alternative temporal order through a saprophytic process. This essay focuses on three novels—Wilson Harris' The Palace of the Peacock (1960), Edgar Mittelholzer's My Bones and My Flute (1955), and Alejo Carpentier's The Lost Steps (1953)—that enact what I term a "saprophytic temporality": a form of time in which the past is constantly recycled, decomposed, and transformed into new forms. This process of continual regeneration also causes Caribbean residents to realize their involvement in ongoing imperial violence against the interior and its Indigenous inhabitants. In effect, this key subset of Caribbean novels of the 1950s and 1960s imply that the alternative to colonial development is not the independent Caribbean nation but a stranger and more unfathomable form of existence defined by the temporality of the Caribbean environment.

Abstract:
The Caribbean’s metaverse evolution accelerated due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper focuses on the metaverse, XR, and NFT and emphasises the Caribbean’s contribution to the virtual environment. A bibliometric analysis of metaverse-themed research identified the rapid increase in publications in 2021 and 2022 and that titles with XR (AR, VR or MR) occurred three times more than blockchain (including NFT). An evolving dataset was created based on a continuous scoping literature review of Industry 4.0 and its enabling technologies. This enables the creation of a new definition of the metaverse, understanding the UX benefits of XR and its applications' areas of foci, highlighting investment in XR-based projects, and illustrating the Caribbean-themed NFT and XR projects. This dataset revealed that UX benefits are linked to XR element features that are relevant, contextual, customised, hands-free and intuitive. It also revealed that XR applications have areas of foci that can enable machine control or data interface, designing and testing, remote support, education, customer engagement, remote collaboration or entertainment and escapism. Analysis of 54 XR papers revealed that the most popular area of focus was education (including training, learning and understanding). An evaluation of global investments in XR development showed funding ranged from USD 70K to USD 100M, and there needs to be focused financial support for Caribbean projects. This justifies continued research into factors influencing funding and encouraging Caribbean XR development. In addition, this research promotes regionally developed XR projects and NFTs. The paper's originality is the reductionist definition of the metaverse: a space designed for users by users, which can satisfy whomever, whatever, however, wherever and whenever. It manifests the user's extended reality, facilitated through XR technologies that enable Industry 4.0 (I4.0). As such, the metaverse can be considered the practical implementation of I4.0.

Abstract:
This essay weaves together translation and postcolonial literary studies to propose a translational model of reading for Caribbean literature. Translation and creolization provide the conceptual and aesthetic lens for reading Caribbean literary texts: If translation is an apt model, since it captures languages in transit toward other languages and other contexts, creolization embodies the points of contact among what Naoki Sakai calls the “uncountable languages within the literary texts,” unlocking novel ideas of language and literature. The essay offers “translational reading” of texts by Derek Walcott, Velma Pollard, and Dionne Brand as an alternative to the traditionally monolingual model of reading.

Abstract:
In this thesis I investigate connections between modern Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean fiction between the 1950s and the present. My study brings into focus literary representations of inter-related histories and cultures and problematises the fragmentation of Caribbean studies into separate academic disciplines. The disciplinary compartmentalisation of Caribbean studies into English studies on the one hand and French and Francophone studies on the other has contributed to a reading of Caribbean literature within separate linguistic spheres. This division is strikingly reflected in the scarcity of any sustained literary criticism that acknowledges cultural and literary interpenetration within the archipelago. My comparative study of selected Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean fiction allows me to account for the ethnic, cultural, linguistic and historical diversity of Caribbean societies while, at the same time, foregrounding their inter-relatedness. Through a series of specific case studies the thesis illuminates ways in which theoretical concepts and literary tropes have travelled within the archipelago. Through a close reading of selected narrative fiction I will contextualise and analyse significant underlying linguistic, ethnic and cultural links between the various Caribbean societies which are largely based on the shared history of slavery, colonialism and decolonisation processes. The themes of migration, transformation and creolisation will be at the centre of my investigation. Chapter One establishes the historical and literary-critical framework for this thesis by engaging with key developments in Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean writing from the 1920s until the present. My comparison of the most influential trends in both Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean literature and criticism from the discourse of négritude to postcolonial studies seeks to highlight connections between these two linguistically divided fields of study. The analysis of Caribbean fiction in Chapters Two to Four pursues such theoretical, stylistic and thematic links further. Chapter Two challenges the conception of postwar Antillean and West Indian writing produced in the metropolis as distinct literary canons by drawing attention to thematic connections between the two traditions. Through the comparison of The Lonely Londoners by Samuel Selvon and La Fête à Paris by Joseph Zobel it argues that these continuities represent a wider trend in ‘black European’ writing. Chapter Three examines concepts of cultural identity which have been central to Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean literature and criticism during the last two decades. Specifically it focuses on the notions of hybridity, créolité/creoleness and créolisation/creolisation which it discusses in relation to Robert Antoni’s novel Divina Trace and Patrick Chamoiseau’s Texaco. The final chapter focuses on Shani Mootoo’s and Gisèle Pineau’s representations of specific female experiences of trauma which are related to reiterated colonial violence. Their fictional portrayal of suppressed memories can be read in light of recent critical debates about a collective remembrance of the history of slavery and colonialism.

McIntosh, Malachi. ""Home" : emigration, identity and modern Caribbean literature." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2010. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/35526/.

Full text
Abstract:
Caribbean writing is an emigrant tradition. The first waves of native-born authors from the region all spent significant portions of their lives abroad and, almost without exception, built their fame upon the desires of metropolitan audiences for knowledge of their colonies. Accordingly, the famous names of Lamming, Naipaul, Selvon, Césaire and Glissant are all stamped with a slightly less famous departure date. While many critics have noted these facts, there has been little sustained analysis of how the unique social positions and preoccupations of emigrants have affected the works of these five writers or their peers. This thesis is an attempt to address this issue. Its argument is that Caribbean emigrant authors spoke from unique social and conceptual loci. Through detailed, comparative readings of these five authors’ first major works, alongside considerations of their self-assessments, critical opinion on their oeuvres, Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the literary field and Antonio Gramsci’s theory of the organic intellectual, the argument advanced is that although these authors actively positioned themselves, and were positioned by their readers, in such a way that their emigrant status has had its importance elided, that status is present and potent in their post-emigration works. While the concerns of these writers all altered over the course of their careers, their early experiences of emigration shaped some of their most widely read texts and resulted in a harmony between them that transcends the authors’ differing islands of origin and their later thematic and political preoccupations.

Gramaglia, Letizia. "Representations of madness in Indo-Caribbean literature." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2008. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/850/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents a critical reading of selected Indo-Caribbean prose and poetry and explores their shared concern with issues of madness and insanity. Before approaching literary texts, however, the thesis investigates the colonial treatment of mental illness in Trinidad and British Guiana in order to establish a pragmatic link between the East Indians’ experience of mental illness during indentureship and its later emergence in literature. The study of the development of local colonial psychiatry is based on the examination of original sources, including relevant Parliamentary Papers and previously unexamined material. A critical reading of Edward Jenkins’s writings provides the link between history and literature, whilst contemporary theories on the construction of the collective imaginary help to sustain the argument of a transference of the trope of madness from facts to fiction, from reality to imagination. This project contributes both to the growing field of Indo-Caribbean literary criticism and to the embryonic area of the history of mental health in the Caribbean. Concentrating on the relation between the social history of medicine and literary imagination it suggests a new approach to Indo-Caribbean literature based on the close relationship between health and culture.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation addresses the politics of interrelation between living beings and the natural world within Caribbean literature, and the underlying dangers inherent in modes of existence that deny such interrelation. Spiralism is a chaotic and pluralist literary movement emerging from Haiti in the 1960s, and this project features René Philoctète’s Spiralist novel Le Peuple des terres mêlées (1989) as its literary center, joined with two other Caribbean novels: Jacques Roumain’s Gouverneurs de la rosée (1944), and Mayra Montero’s Tú, la oscuridad (1995). In my comparative reading of these novels, I argue that their representations of environmental consciousness, social collaboration, and all-inclusive modes of interacting with the natural world provide models of co-existence in the context of the many socio-environmental injustices that threaten the continuation of many life forms on Earth, including humans. These novels evoke empathy and imagination, and add vital perspectives to the understudied field of environmentally conscious literature. Each of these three novels emotionally engages and reconnects humans as members of ecosystems – a move often lacking in the objective presentation of environmental studies. Given that the Earth is our only home, the continued ecological devastation caused by the human species increasingly deserves our full attention. I argue that the all-inclusive Spiralist imaginary and the related literatures are apt ideological tools to help address the cognitive dissonance currently preventing sufficient social change.

De, La Cruz Garcia Katia. "African historical religions and Africana spirituality in the Caribbean literature: an analysis of Afro-Caribbean philosophical archetypes in contemporary Caribbean literature using Ifá philosophy as a signifying system." Doctoral thesis, Faculty of Humanities, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/30356.

Full text
Abstract:
This research analyses the presence of Afro-Caribbean philosophical archetypes in Caribbean literature as fundamental elements in the identity formation and racial dynamics of African descendants in the Caribbean. The main focus is on the spiritual component of African historical religions and Africana spirituality. The spiritual component, considering its level of transcendence in the human being, is essential in the formation of the identity since it allows the creation of moral archetypes that can be recognized in literary creations. The research uses Ifá philosophy, Yoruba mythology, and Africana religions, as signifying systems. The research considers the religious foundations of the Ewe-Fon, Kongo and especially, Yoruba traditions, with a focus on the Yoruba Oracle as Literary Corpus as well as the basis for the analysis of the following novels: Of Love and other Demons by Gabriel García Márquez, Changó, the biggest badass by Manuel Zapata Olivella, Ecué Yamba Ó by Alejo Carpentier, The red of his shadow by Mayra Montero and Gabriela, clove and cinnamon by Jorge Amado. This project establishes that the moral philosophy, implicit in the divinatory system of the Yoruba people, known as Ifá, can be traced through the literary structures of Caribbean literature and can be used as a reference for transnational identity in the Caribbean.

The Purpose of this paper is to propose a collaborative model in support of the sustainable economic development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean through the collaboration of The National Institute of Higher Education Research, Science and Technology and Tertiary Level Institutions (TLIs) in the Caribbean in an eco-system which outputs informal science education technologies. The methodology utilized in the development of this paper is mainly desk research of literature which link economic development to education. The findings suggest that the early introduction of students to science education impacts their choice and curricula, and a curricular which supports the knowledge economy is one which will foster economic sustainability in the modern world.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Shale reservoirs will help to meet oil demand that is forecasted to continue increasing for several years. Oil recovery from shales is low and has been reported to range between 5 and 10%. The objective of this paper is to show how oil recovery from shale can be improved while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions, contributing thus to the goal of a Net-Zero future. The proposed methodology shows how oil recovery from shales can be increased while simultaneously storing CO2 in undepleted (as opposed to depleted) shale oil reservoirs, and consequently contributing to a future with Net-Zero emissions. The methodology is developed with the use of reservoir simulation, and is achieved by performing the following procedure: (1) start huff 'n' puff CO2 injection, 2 or 3 years after the well goes on oil production; thus, the shale reservoir is undepleted, (2) store CO2 gradually in the shale reservoir during the huff periods, and continuously once the huff'n'puff project is finalized. The simulation model includes a history match period with actual production data from a pilot horizontal well, and a forecast period with huff 'n' puff CO2 injection. Two cases, one with diffusion and one without diffusion are carried out for evaluating the molecular diffusion effect. The initial pressure is never exceeded. Our literature survey indicates that the methodology proposed in this paper has not been considered previously in the geoscience of petroleum engineering literature. The proposed approach will help to achieve Net-Zero emissions by storing CO2 in undepleted shale reservoirs while simultaneously increasing oil production. This win-win combination, to the best of our knowledge, is novel.

Abstract:
Objective: This review aims to bring updates about the relationship between the silicone implant and the breast implantassociated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-LCL), in order to have a better knowledge about this disease. Despite the low risk of its development, a better understanding of BIA-ALCL is of interest to women, oncologists, breast specialists, plastic surgeons, regulatory agencies, and the general public, as the number of women with breast implants is increasing worldwide. Methods: This article is based on a review of publications on the topic. A search for articles was carried out through the SciELO databases, at the interface of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Center for Biotechnology Information (PubMed) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS). Results: BIA-ALCL is a very rare disease (1 case per 1–3 million women with implants), accounting for 2–3% of these lymphomas in adults and 0.5% of breast cancers and occurs between 8 and 10 years after breast cancer and implantation of a breast prosthesis. Textured implants are the most associated because they have a greater contact surface, so more biofilm is formed, causing bacterial adhesion. Most patients have peri-implant effusion and less often have a mass. Other described symptoms included breast enlargement, skin rash, capsular contracture, and lymphadenopathy. Lymphoma may be located in the seroma cavity or may involve pericapsular fibrous tissue. To make the diagnosis, imaging tests and cytological analysis must be performed. The fluid must be aspirated and is usually cloudy and thick, with large pleomorphic epithelioid lymphocytes, abundant cytoplasm, eccentric reniform nucleus and prominent nucleolus, and anaplastic lymphoma (ALK). Morphological and immunophenotypic features are indistinguishable from those of ALK-negative ALCL. Conclusion: The treatment of BIA-LCL includes implant removal, complete capsulectomy, excision of suspected adenopathy, and excision of lymphoma margins. Surgeons may consider removal of the contralateral implant as approximately 4.6% of cases have demonstrated incidental lymphoma in the contralateral breast. There are no data to recommend a mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, axillary lymphadenectomy, or breast reconstruction. The best prognosis is with complete capsule elimination surgery. Follow-up is done every 3–6 months for 2 years, in addition to imaging tests and the segment will depend on the patient’s clinical manifestations.

Abstract:
Abstract Casing wear is a concern among O&G operators worldwide since it can lead to well integrity issues. Wear can appear on both elements, drill pipe and the external casing, resulting in the reduction of the tubular wall thickness affecting its performance. To address the topic, a tribometer was developed based on the standard API STD 7CW (2015), including a rotating element that slides against a fixed element while being exposed to drilling mud, leading to the obtention of coefficients of friction (CoF) and casing wear factors, for different combinations of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG). To estimate CoF and casing wear factors, more than 70 laboratory tests were performed combining steel grades under repetitive and consistent conditions. Contact force was fixed and maintained between both elements during test. CoF were calculated by direct torque measurement, while casing wear factors were indirectly defined by measuring the material loss volume. Results obtained in CoF were in a range of 0.3 and 0.5, being higher than the values in open literature. They also showed a relation between drill element grades and higher values of CoF. Three zones were detected when evaluating CoF results together. Analyzing casing wear factors, the results obtained were in a range from 0.03 to 0.3 (1/psi E-09), this range is slightly lower than public data available. Different testing conditions such as torque and displacement were evaluated to assess the behavior of 28Cr alloy.

Full text
Abstract:
Summary In this study, an integrated machine learning (ML) model was proposed that allows to identify the risk of organic precipitation damage and estimate the asphaltene onset pressure (AOP). In addition, an estimation of the association parameters to estimate the AOP using a Cubic-Plus-Association (CPA) equation of state (EoS) using stochastics (Monte Carlo) and ML approach was carried out. To predict the asphaltene damage risk the asphaltene stability class index (ASCI) data and the in-situ live crude oil densities were used along with the support vector machines (SVM) method. To propose the AOP-ML model a dataset of 53 samples was considered, evaluating different ML methods. In both cases, 80 % of the dataset was used to train the model, whereas 20% was to validate it. In the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, 6 fluids taken from literature were used. The ML classification model had a perfect accuracy (100 %), which was compared to conventional compositional asphaltene screening models, with a classification accuracy of 33% for the resin/asphaltene ratio, 29% for ASI, 67% for CII, and 88% for de Boer plot. The AOP-ML model described properly the 77% of the variation of the experimental AOP of the 6 fluids evaluated using a stepwise bidirectional linear regression with 9 input features. Finally, the MC results indicated that several combinations of association energies and volumes reproduce the experimental AOP, obtaining a linear model for estimating the cross-interaction energy with a coefficient of determination of 0.934. This study provides disruptive findings since it opens the possibility of formulating predictive EoS, obtaining the association parameters from a fluid's compositional and structural characteristics. This approach is an opportunity for a comprehensive understanding of asphaltene precipitation damage that allows to understand the mechanisms of formation damage and therefore look for promising solutions to restore the productivity of fields affected by asphaltene precipitation formation damage.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract CO2 dissolution in water/brine at various operating conditions is of essential interest for various environmental and geochemical applications such as CO2 sequestration in brine-bearing aquifers. Solubility/swelling in CO2-brine systems can be determined by experimental data or the available correlations and modelling packages. However, the available models and correlations can only be used in limited situations, and therefore, may not be applicable for a wide range of operating conditions, particularly for different salinities. In addition, the available solubility and swelling experimental data in the literature are limited as these experiments are very time consuming due to the slow nature of the diffusion process. Therefore, reliable experimental data is needed especially in the range of operating conditions suitable for CO2 storage scenarios. In this work, a high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) visual cell with a novel stirring mechanism was designed to accelerate the diffusion process at elevated pressures and temperatures. A series of swelling/solubility tests are carried out for a CO2–brine/water system at various equilibrium pressures ranging from ~ 3000 to ~ 12000 kPa and temperatures ranging from 35 to 55 °C and with different salinities. The process of CO2 dissolution results in a pressure decline and volume expansion (swelling) of the liquid phase over time. Swelling is measured by tracking the gas-liquid interface using a microscope camera and solubility is measured by monitoring the pressure and performing PVT analysis. In the absence of stirring, the CO2 dissolution takes a long time, however, the use of stirring expedites the dissolution process. Thermodynamically, we have an instantaneous equilibrium at the gas–liquid interface and the equilibrium concentration at the gas–liquid interface is the maximum concentration of dissolved gas (i.e., solubility) in the liquid. The diffusion which controls how quickly the gas dissolves in the liquid slows downs the overall process. The high-pressure stirring mechanism creates convection in the liquid and accelerates CO2 dissolution. The results also revealed that increasing the pressure, decreasing the temperature, and decreasing the brine salinity increases the swelling and solubility of CO2.

Abstract:
Many countries in Latin America and (especially) the Caribbean have struggled with public indebtedness problems for decades, but some have transitioned to relatively low and stable debt levels based on the strengthening of fiscal institutions, and macroeconomic institutions more generally. Following on this year's Development in the Americas report, Dealing with Debt, this edition of the Caribbean Economics Quarterly examines the status of public debt sustainability in Caribbean countries. The regional chapter provides a primer on the analysis of public debt dynamics and a review of the recent literature on empirical approaches to debt sustainability. Country chapters provide additional details on country experiences in recent decades, as well as the current policy and institutional frameworks for managing public debt.

Full text
Abstract:
Although the Caribbean region relies heavily on its natural assets as sources of income, generally for tourism and in particular cases from agriculture and energy, environmental taxes in the region have been little studied. This paper therefore is intended to reflect the existing economic instruments in place for capturing the use (and abuse) of the regions environmental and natural resource assets to reflect the degree to which adopted actions have been effective. Data paucity has been highlighted as a major obstacle in permitting rigorous assessment; the report therefore draws on the available literature and experiences for guidelines. This final report presents an inventory of economic instruments with an emphasis on assessing the environmental taxes in seven Caribbean countries that are members of the Inter-American Development Bank: Belize, Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.

Abstract:
This paper explores the role of religion in mitigating the degree to whichunemployment reduces subjective well-being and it examines its support of social programs. The paper goes beyond existing literature in three ways: It extends existing literature to Latin America and Caribbean countries; it explicitly includes analysis of two confounders (social capital and personal traits) ignored in existing literature; and it moves beyond correlation by using the propensity score method to tease out a causal relation between religion and well-being. We find that religion acts as a buffer: Unemployed religious people are relatively happier than are nonreligious unemployed people. However, in contrast with the existing literature, we find that religious people are relatively more supportive of public social policy.

Full text
Abstract:
This Technical Note presents a literature review on the Center of Government (CoG). This term refers to the institution or group of institutions that support a country's chief executive (president or prime minister) in leading the political and technical coordination of the government's actions, strategic planning of the government's program, monitoring of performance, and communication of the government's decisions and achievements. These institutions are becoming more and more relevant in a context where an increasing number of crosscutting issues demand whole-of-government approaches and coherent responses. In several countries, the CoG is also increasingly involved in promoting innovations to improve government performance and support departments and agencies in achieving results. This review discusses the conceptual definitions of CoG in the literature; presents their main functions; describes the organization, structure, and management styles of the units typically performing those functions; and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the current literature to inform an action-based agenda of CoG strengthening in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Full text
Abstract:
Climate change is an existential threat to the world economy, with complex, evolving and nonlinear dynamics that remain a source of great uncertainty. There is a bourgeoning literature on the economic impact of climate change, but research on how climate change affects sovereign risks is limited. This paper provides forward-looking regional analysis of the effects of climate change on sovereign creditworthiness, probability of default and the cost of borrowing for the Caribbean economies. Our results indicate that there is substantial variation in the sensitivity of ratings to climate change across the region which is due to the non-linear nature of ratings. Our findings improve the identification and management of sovereign climate risk and provides a forward-looking assessment of how climate change could affect the cost of accessing international finance. As such, it leads to a suite of policy options for countries in the region.

Abstract:
Understanding the drivers of international production fragmentation is an important issue for Latin American and Caribbean countries because participation in global production networks can help mitigate instability due to dependence on natural resources and can provide opportunities for further exports diversification and increased growth. This paper contributes to the literature on global value chains by analyzing two case studies that examine the experience of Colombian firms that have successfully penetrated international markets through participation in global production networks. The stories of these firms are contrasted within the framework of the global value chain literature. A series of policy implications are drafted as a result of this exercise

Abstract:
Virtually all Latin American and Caribbean countries have established specialized organizations to promote their exports. Existing analyses of these organizations are at best partial and fragmentary. This paper aims at overcoming these limitations of the literature by presenting a consistent, detailed organizational characterization of the major export promotion entities in their respective countries. This characterization is primarily based on data collected through an extensive survey that we have conducted among organizations in the region, and, to put them into an appropriate perspective, among relevant organizations from countries outside of the region. Moreover, for a few countries, we have carried out in-depth case studies not only to report more precise information on those aspects covered by the survey, such as the number and diversity of other actors, both public and private, engaged in export promotion along with their interaction patterns.

Full text
Abstract:
Schooling is a major factor in economic development. There is extensive empirical literature on what determines schooling attainment. But most of this literature uses micro data to explore connections between schooling attainment and family background and experiences, local markets, local schools and other community characteristics. These studies generally have not linked schooling attainment closely to changes in aggregate economic conditions. This paper uses a new high quality data set for 18 Latin American and Caribbean countries to assess the effects of macro conditions on schooling attainment. Household survey data are used to construct a quasi panel with information on attainment for birth cohorts born between 1930 and 1970, which is merged with country-specific aggregate data. We use the data to document schooling progress in Latin America and estimate multivariate relations for schooling attainment by birth cohorts as related to sets of variables for macroeconomic stability, factor endowments, demographic developments, institutions and culture and religion. These estimates are used to decompose the change in schooling progress by decade, and to explore the causes of the slowdown in schooling accumulation in the region since the 1980s debt crisis.
