Gijseghem, Hendrik Van. "A Frontier Perspective on Paracas Society and Nasca Ethnogenesis." Latin American Antiquity 17, no. 4 (2006): 419–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/25063066.
Full textAbstract:
It has long been recognized that the Nasca culture (ca. A.D. 1–750) of the Peruvian south coast finds its roots in the Paracas society (ca. 800 B.C.–A.D. 1). Yet the social mechanisms responsible for the innovations that characterize the transition are poorly known. The southern Nasca region, which became the most dynamic region in terms of ceremonial life and intervalley integration, however, was never an important area of Paracas occupation. In this article I use literature on migration and frontier development to explain the genesis of Nasca society. Four phenomena that are common on historical frontiers seem to have been at play in the southern Nasca region: initial simplification of hierarchy, pioneer effect, “wealth-in-people,” and factionalism. Based on data from excavations at La Puntilla, a settlement that spanned the Late Paracas—Initial Nasca transition, I argue that the needs of interregional integration and cooperation following initial settlement of the frontier by Paracas populations and subsequent demographic growth prompted the genesis of Nasca society. The proposed long-term scenario also provides a context for later innovations in water management and agricultural intensification.

Full textAbstract:
Religious ego-texts of Cape Trekboers on the frontier reflect prominent traits of mystical Pietism. Similar features can also be detected in the ego-texts of both male and female believers deeper into the interior prior to and during the Great Trek. These pioneer texts reflect religious literary styles similar to the dominant pietistic literature in Germany and in the Netherlands. In addition to the influence of religious literature of German Pietism and devotional literature of Dutch Second Reformation authors, the marginalisation and isolation of believers stimulated pietistic tendencies similar to trends in seventeenth and eighteenth-century Europe. The end of the eighteenth-century witnessed the gradual demise of Pietism in Germany and supplanting of pietistic tendencies by more secular oriented chronicles, autobiographical descriptions and life adventures. In the Netherlands, however, Pietism flourished from the mid- eighteenth century and publications of pietistic ego-texts continued well into the twentieth century. The “Journal” of the Voortrekker woman Anna Steenkamp is a typical example of a family chronicle with descriptions of her life adventures during the Great Trek. Two copies of her “Journal” composed in the Transorange are analysed in order to determine her religious mentality profile as representative of Voortrekker women of the period 1838 to 1854. The first contains an attachment with religious songs and poems of a typical pietistic nature. These reflections mirror religious tendencies on the frontier at a stage when the dominant culture of similar religious texts in the Netherlands had reached its peak. The second copy contains brief reflections on her life on the frontier undergirded by typical pietistic reflections on God’s providential care. This text, composed in the Transorange, reflects a more secular inclined profile undergirded by pietistic elements from an earlier epoch in German autobiographical texts from the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century.

End-of-life experiences go by various terms, including near-death experiences (NDEs), deathbed visions, deathbed phenomena, deathbed coincidences, and nearing death awareness. Deathbed escorts is the term applied to the vision of deceased family members or friends who inform the dying person that they will be accompanied in the transition from life. In this article, I examine the subject of NDEs and deathbed escorts, starting with the rich body of work provided by Robert and Beatrice Kastenbaum. A subject of some interest to Robert Kastenbaum, he explored this frontier in his many writings on dying, death, and bereavement. Ever the pioneer and having made the ultimate transition, he may yet be exploring new frontiers.

This book is a landmark publication in the field of Early Irish History. Working from the fact that Ireland, in the period c.AD 400 to c.AD 1000, produced a massive body of literature, in a wide variety of genres and in two languages, Irish and Latin, that was far more extensive than in any other country in Europe, the author offers a context for the ‘communities of learning’ that produced such literature. Previous writers have struggled to explain how a society situated at the very edge of the known world could have done such a thing. Not the least of Elva Johnston’s achievements is to force a rethink of such underlying perceptions. Rather than viewing Ireland as an isolated and backward intellectual desert, for her ‘it is useful to see the island as a frontier-zone, comparable to other Roman frontiers’ (p. 11), and to see the evolution of Irish literacy and literate elites against the backdrop of Roman Frontier Studies. Though Ireland never suffered the traumatic consequences of barbarian invasion and the fall of Empire, Johnston argues nevertheless that there was much more than trading and raiding, or colonizing and slaving involved; she would see a much more profound influence at work: ‘the culture of early Christian Ireland is incomprehensible outside of the Late Antique context’ (p. 25).

Abstract This essay uncovers the environmental and historical conditions that played a role in cyberspace’s popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Tracing both fictional and critical constructions of cyberspace in a roughly twenty-year period from the publication of William Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy (1984–1988) to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, this essay argues that cyberspace’s infinite, virtual territory provided a solution to the apparent ecological crisis of the 1980s: the fear that the United States was running out of physical room to expand due to overdevelopment. By discursively transforming the technology of cyberspace into an “electronic frontier,” technologists, lobbyists, and journalists turned cyberspace into a solution for the apparent American crisis of overdevelopment and resource loss. In a period when Americans felt detached from their own environment, cyberspace became a new frontier for exploration and a so-called American space to which the white user belonged as an indigenous inhabitant. Even Gibson’s critique of the sovereign cyberspace user in the Sprawl trilogy masks the violence of cybercolonialism by privileging the white American user. Sprawl portrays the impossibility of escaping overdevelopment through cyberspace, but it routes this impossibility through the specter of racial contamination by Caribbean hackers and Haitian gods. This racialized frontier imaginary shaped the form of internet technologies throughout the 1990s, influencing the modern user’s experience of the internet as a private space under their sovereign control. In turn, the individualism of the internet experience restricts our ability to create collective responses to the climate crisis, encouraging internet users to see themselves as disassociated from conditions of environmental and social catastrophe.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents an analysis of William Faulkner՚s authorial myth, with a particular focus on the concept of «Snopesism» in the context of the American dream. The aim is to clarify the nature of the mythological component of Faulkner՚s Yoknapatawpha trilogy as a system of perception of America՚s national identity in the context of globalization. The article seeks to determine the author՚s attitude towards the functioning of the myth of the American dream in the conditions of globalization, multiculturalism of American society, and the coexistence of national and global cultures, through the analysis of the true meaning and purpose of the concept of «Snopesism» in the Snopes saga. The analysis of the mythological discourse of Faulkner՚s Yoknapatawpha trilogy sheds light on the functions and role of mythology in the search for national self-identification in the conditions of globalization. Reading Faulkner՚s novels from the perspective of their mythological component holds theoretical significance for understanding the features of modern interpretation and perception of the most widespread and basic myths of the American nation. Faulkner modulates or ignores historical data, but the basic structure of history with three turning points (rise-fall-reconstruction) is evident in his novels. The rise represented the Old South, which Faulkner was nostalgic for, but he did not idealize the plantation myth or the plantation aristocracy. The fall is the Civil War and Reconstruction, which forms a watershed between the Old South and the post-war South of the Snopes and Popeyes. The New South is the third moment, with the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, and racial and class segregation. Faulkner՚s portrayal of the New South is an artistic study of the emerging class – the Snopes family, who struggled to change their status after the Civil War and Reconstruction. The Snopes represent the white underclass that cared only about profit and status, and for whom the end justified any means. They work their way from a sharecropper՚s shack to the upper echelons of Jeffersonian society through a series of tricks, bravado, lies, fraud, theft, and law-breaking. The article analyses the philosophy of «Snopesism» through each representative of the Snopes family. The article argues that the southern tradition, with its rich arsenal of concepts and images, plays a key role in American society and fiction, defining the main content of moral values that influenced the formation of the national character of Americans. The mythology of the frontier, images of frontier heroes, pioneers, and people who carry out a civilizing mission is one of the elements of the Puritan epic in fiction. Another complex of national mythology is formed on the basis of the concept of the «American dream», which continues to define the features of the American way of life. These three mythological traditions constantly interact and intersect with each other, forming integral mythological images that reflect the peculiarities of American society, the nation, and national heroes. The increasing multiculturalism of American society and globalization significantly affect the nature and content of modern national mythology. However, traditional national myths continue to determine the main vectors of the country՚s national development. Ethnic mythology is transformed into the traditional key mythologemes of the USA. The article concludes that the study of Faulkner՚s novels from the perspective of their mythological component provides significant theoretical insights into the features of modern interpretation and perception of the most widespread and basic myths of the American nation. Keywords: William Faulkner, authorial myth, Yoknapatawpha, Snopes trilogy/saga, American dream, Snopesism, American literature of the South.

Thesis, University of North Texas, 1999. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278931/.
Full textAbstract:
The Western settlement era is only one part of United States national history, but for many Americans it remains the most significant cultural influence. Conversely, the settlement of Canada's western territory is generally treated as a significant phase of national development, but not the defining phase. Because both nations view the frontier experience differently, they also have distinct perceptions of the role violence played in the settlement process, distinctions reflected in the historical record, literature, and films of each country. This study will look at the historical evidence and works of the imagination for both the American and Canadian frontier experience, focusing on the years between 1870 and 1930, and will examine the part that violence played in the development of each national character. The discussion will also illustrate the difference between the historical reality and the mythic version portrayed in popular literature and films by demonstrating the effects of the depiction of violence on the perception of American and Canadian history.

Long, Genevieve Jane. ""Self was Forgotten": Attention to Private Consciousness in the Diaries of Three Mormon Frontier Women." PDXScholar, 1994. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4837.
Full textAbstract:
This study discusses diaries by three Mormon women on America's southwestern frontier. These diaries cover a period stretching from 1880-1920. The study explores how these diarists (in a culture that was and remains highly communitarian and which valued, for women, the primary roles of helpmeet and mother), leave the imprint of individual as well as cooperative consciousness in private writings. As authors, diarists display remarkable persistence in maintaining and elaborating on a daily text. Since diaries are a type of private writing engaged in even by women who--because of education, social class, or life circumstances--do little other writing, women's diaries offer significant clues to women's writing strategies and goals. Most study of women's diaries positions these texts as footnotes to history or the literary canon. This study discusses the interplay between persona, tone and style, a diarist's life experience (pioneering, for example) and Mormon expectations for women. Consistently positioning women as helpers in building a millenial kingdom, Mormonism deemphasizes the very act which keeping diaries encourages them to begin: placing the self in a position of (literal) authority. In these diaries, the writers have been able to include or omit what they choose from daily narrative, signaling meaning through shifts in style or tone. As writers, these women function as authorities in their individual and communal lives. Three diaries form the core of this study. The Udall diary is taken from a published version edited by her granddaughter, Maria S. Ellsworth. The Chase diary comes from the University of Utah's archives, from among papers of the diarist's husband, George Ogden Chase. The Willis diary was edited from manuscript and donated for this study by Kim Brown, who supplied photocopies of both her typescript and the original Willis manuscript.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis essay reads Max Ritvo’s poetry through a chronology of precision biomedicine: imaging, diagnosis, and treatment. Ritvo’s construction of a patient-consumer avatar in his poetry reflects his position at a biomedical frontier, while poetic form becomes a way of retrieving bodies from a logic of substitution and surrogacy. A body lying under the weight of relentless, and relentlessly variable, imaging is catapulted through memory to a place by the sea in “The Curve.” In “Poem to My Litter,” the speaker addresses the laboratory mice injected with his tumors, drawing himself closer to them through their shared imprisonment in bodies on their way out of life, and suspending a bioeconomy embedded in a moral economy of sacrifice and faith. If precision medicine depends on making the analogical and metaphorical into common consensus—images that stand in for bodies, codes that stand in for disease—then Ritvo upends its neat architecture. He sticks instead with the messiness of bodies failing to meet an elusive salvation.

Abstract The conquests of Philip, who died in 336 B.c., and Alexander, who died in 323, had an immense impact on the life and literature of Greece. Greek language and culture were spread, more or less thinly, over an area from Marseilles to the frontier of India, and from the Crimea to Egypt. In huge countries like Egypt and Syria Greek communities, surrounded by a sea of alien subjects, hugged their education and their language as marks of their status and as reminders of what they were and what they were resolved to remain.

Abstract ‘A story has no beginning or end’, Graham Greene warns in The End of the Affair (1951): ‘arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead’ (bk. 1, ch. 1). Like other stories, histories have no absolute beginnings. Yet some are less arbitrary than others, and 1960 is in many ways an obvious starting point. Factors shaping life and imagination throughout the rest of the century—many patterns in its literature, discussed in later chapters—originated either in that year, or at any rate in the late 1950s and the early part of the new decade. Its opening naturally encouraged reflection about new directions and developments: differing enthusiasm in looking ahead, on different sides of the Atlantic, highlighted some of the pressures shaping Britain’s outlook generally at the time. In the United States, presidential-nominee John F. Kennedy talked expansively of ‘a New Frontier—the frontier of the 1960s—a frontier of unknown opportunities…new invention, innovation, imagination, decision’. The British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, more modestly noted only a ‘wind of change’ blowing across the threshold of the 1960s (Gilbert, pp. 224, 245).

The writings in this section, which date from the mid-nineteenth and to the early twentieth centuries, demonstrate the development of the erroneous idea of Appalachia as a stunted frontier isolated from the rest of the United States and inhabited by mountaineers whose pioneer lifestyle was frozen in time. The texts reflect the rapidly changing nature of life in the region. The era’s local color fiction and nonfiction too often relied on quaintness, stereotype, and sentimentality; that Appalachian people were (and are) frozen in time is a literary conceit. By foisting unfamiliar values onto mountaineers, social reformers attempted to change the very culture that they claimed to be preserving. But the era was pivotal for female authors and educators.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the literature on responsibility and health care, many associate responsibility-sensitive health policies with a form of luck egalitarianism. On this view, if some health inequality is due to the choices, or responsible agency, of one of the patients involved, then it is not unjust, and we have no responsibility to compensate for it. If the inequality’s origins cannot be traced back to the patients’ choices, then it is not their responsibility, and thus it becomes society’s responsibility to compensate for it. This division of responsibilities between the individual and society applies not only to the past, but also to our responsibilities concerning the future. For instance, some luck egalitarians think that inequalities in life expectancy between men and women are unjust (Segall 2010) and should be compensated. Alex Voorhoeve has recently raised a new frontier in this debate concerning ‘prospective’ lives: the lives of those who will be born in the future. Against Voorhoeve, I argue that prospective inequalities are not a concern for egalitarians. This qualifies the claim that all inequalities not traceable to personal responsibility are unjust and suggests that there is no responsibility to structure society or our social institutions to avoid such prospective inequalities.

Full textAbstract:
Both in the early and in the the émigré works of Ivan Bunin, an estate house serves as a kind of frontier, in time as well as in space. His protagonist always thinks about the fate of people who dwelled in the past in the places he visits (see the poem “Grandfather’s Youth”, the story “The Scent of Apples”), and a kind of connection between generations is drawn as if the estate becomes the junction point of different layers of time. The linear time of human life and the cyclical time of the generations are combined with perfect precision. And the tragedy of the protagonist is their ruin, the end of the old way of life (see, for example, the poems “... Sometimes in the autumn I dream” or “Desolation”). The space of an estate in Bunin’s works is deeply associated with nature, its state can even be attributed to it. This blurs the boundaries of the estate house, and the person in it begins to feel like a part of the harmony of nature, starts to ponder eternal questions (see the poems “A crescent moon came out on a quiet night...”, “In centuries-old darkness of an old black spruce...”, etc.). In the novel “The Life of Arseniev”, the stories “Mowers”, “Non-urgent Spring” and others, the estate house becomes an idyllic place where the protagonist seeks to return. The world of an old estate is closely related to Bunin’s literary work, being the opportunity to combine different ideas and images, like in a kind of a borderland.

This essay demonstrates that during the same period when new grammar schools, academies, and colleges were introducing the Greek and Roman classics to the western frontier of the United States, to a rising middle class, to girls and women, and to African Americans, states were expanding the voting population to include all free adult white males. While the spread of manhood suffrage led to a more democratic style of politics, the expansion of classical education ensured that American speeches continued to bristle with classical allusions. Political leaders took advantage of every opportunity to showcase their classical learning, even to broader audiences they hoped might respect, if not fully comprehend, their allusions. Classically trained, American politicians lived a double rhetorical life, attempting to assure common voters of their ability to empathize with their concerns while demonstrating their wisdom and virtue to constituents of all classes through their knowledge of the classics.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the little-known travel notes about Abkhazia by Andrey N. Murav’yov, an outstanding Russian spiritual writer, the pioneer of the genre of literary pilgrimage travels, the discoverer of Christian and Orthodox shrines in Russia and abroad for his compatriots and contemporaries. Travel essay “Abkhazia. Pitsunda”, included as a separate chapter in the book “Georgia and Armenia”, was created under the impression of the author’s trip in the spring of 1847 to the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. It presents genre sketches of the city life of Sukhumi, descriptions of the luxurious southern nature, it gives excursions into the history of the region, and it characterises the features of the economic state. The main part of Andrey Murav’yov’s Black Sea memories concerns Pitsunda. As a deep connoisseur of the history of Christianity, Andrey Murav’yov traced its ancient roots in the land of Abkhazia, where the apostles Simon the Canaanean, Andrew the First- Called, St. John Chrysostom. In detailed descriptions of the ancient churches, the writer recorded their condition; despite the artistic form of the story, they have the value of a reliable historical document that helps to reconstruct many of the losses that occurred under the influence of time.

Abstract Over the last 50 years, thermal EOR has been an effective method for reducing the viscosity of and recovering heavy oil from deep reservoirs. In mature thermal EOR projects, conformance is one of the main challenges for maximizing reserves and meeting long-term production expectations. In this paper, Occidental presents a novel pilot to address thermal conformance in the Mukhaizna field in Oman. This is a thermal EOR operation in deep reservoirs (&gt; 2,000 ft) with extremely high viscosity (&gt;10,000 cp) in harsh desert conditions with temperatures exceeding 500°F. The pilot area is a mature thermal area with 15 years of continuous steamflood operations. The novel conformance technique, based on a combination of chemical and zonal mechanical isolation systems, was developed in-house in a low oil price environment. The pilot area consists of multiple reservoir zones that have undergone vertical steam injection since 2005. Thermal conformance has emerged as a challenge because more than 60% of the injected steam has been preferentially entering the high-permeability zones, with only 40% of the steam entering the other zones, which hold a larger amount the remaining oil. The subsurface and well engineering teams collaborated to design a rigless operation using dual coiled tubing units, one for cooling water and one pumping a chemical gelation recipe that gels at a certain trigger gelation temperature at the target zone. Zonal isolation of the reservoir is achieved using a novel inflatable packer triggered mechanically by ball gravitation through coiled tubing at 500°F and retrieved after the temporary zonal isolation. The well and reservoir surveillance included gathering data for injectivity assessment, vertical injection logging, temperature profiles, tracer tests in offset producers, and well testing for determining water cut. The pilot improved vertical conformance, as injection logging showed 40% steam reduction was achieved in the target zone, and more steam was re-allocated to the shallow zones. In addition, there was a water cut reduction of more than 20% in offset producers, and oil production tripled over a period of 3 months, which paid back the cost of the pilot and generated positive cash flow. To our knowledge, based on an SPE literature search, this is the first successful thermal conformance operation conducted with the following combination of technologies: 1) Placing a novel chemical recipe through temporary zonal isolation with an inflatable packer, and 2) Using rigless operation of coiled tubing units at harsh conditions of &gt;500°F and high pressure &gt;1000 psi. The outcomes open a new frontier for thermal EOR development in multi-stack reservoirs, offering better utilization of steam injection and improving mobility control over the field life cycle. The cost of the pilot project was paid off in the first 6 weeks, and all chemicals used were developed in an eco-friendly system.

Abstract One of the main challenges in rigid riser design for Brazilian Pre-salt is the fatigue limit state. At this new production frontier, some key points are imposed as a challenge for riser designers, mainly due to the high level of motions imposed by the FPSO at the riser top in a coupled system with water depth around 2200 meters, and thicker riser’s thermal insulation demanded for flow assurance (which worsens the dynamic response of production risers). Additionally, high contaminant levels in the fluid (CO2 & H2S) demands CRA materials. Within this context, Petrobras has been considering Steel Lazy Wave Riser (SLWR) configuration as a base case scenario for rigid riser projects, since this configuration is able to absorb part of the FPSO motions that would reach the touch down zone (TDZ) and, consequently, making this region much less demanded when compared against Steel Catenary Risers (SCR). In its pioneer deepwater SLWR [1], Petrobras adopted a conservative approach for fatigue assessment that involved degenerated SN curves from DNV-RP-C203, i.e. D curve in cathodic protection with the slope changing point (SCP) shifted to 5 × 106 for external wall and F1 curve in air with SCP at 5 × 107 for internal wall. More recently, both DNVGL and BSI have reviewed their fatigue assessment codes and no longer holds parity between SN curves. BS-7608 Ed. 2014 introduced different SCPs in order to account for a possible non-conservativeness in the assessment of low stresses under variable amplitude in the loading spectra. DNVGL-RP-C203 Ed. 2016 now presents three different bilinear SN curves for the internal wall of pipelines and risers that depends on weld misalignment, while it keeps SCP unchanged. This paper presents a recent case study for a typical SLWR configuration in pre-salt, in order to evaluate the impact of the changes proposed by the new versions of these design codes in the fatigue life of riser girth welds. Results of this work showed that the impact of different positioning of slope changing points in SN curves can have a great importance for riser design, since typical load spectrum lies around this region. Fatigue life could be increased up to twice or three times if one of these codes are adopted instead of the Shifted SN curves. However, the effect of low stresses under variable amplitude loading spectra is still a concern and it should be further investigated.

Abstract Over the last 50 years, Acid Stimulation has been growing as an effective method for enhancing Permeability, improving inflow, and reducing wellbore skin. In mature EOR projects, maintaining high inflow to offtake producers are of the main challenges to safeguard reserves and meeting long-term production expectations. In this paper, a novel workflow is presented to discuss best practices into acid stimulation campaign during 2020-2022, resulting incremental oil gain which quick payback period during cyclic oil price environment. This is a thermal EOR operation in deep reservoirs (&gt; 2,000 ft) with extremely high viscosity (&gt;10,000 cp) with temperatures exceeding 500°F. The area is a mature thermal area with 15 years of continuous steam flood operations resulting in different type of scale deposit including Carbonate, Sulfate and Sulfide scales that impact the well deliverability over the last 15 years. The novel workflow, based on a combination of chemical analysis, root cause analysis for Artificial lift failures, zonal treatment systems, was developed in-house and deployed in &gt; 50 wells with a great success rate. The pilot area consists of multiple reservoir zones that have undergone vertical steam injection since 2005 and horizontal producing at dedicated reservoir zone. The skin is induced either by Rock/fluid interaction causing scale drop out and resulting in Artificial lift failures, which holds a larger amount of the remaining oil. The Subsurface and Well Engineering teams collaborated to design a novel well deployment methods treating up to 3000 ft horizontal lateral and operation using coiled tubing units with high rate techniques. The well and reservoir surveillance included gathering data for injectivity/productivity assessment, vertical injection logging, temperature profiles, production in offset producers, and well testing for determining water cut. The low inflow wells manage to increase their pump fillage to highest level in the last 5 years, post flow back shows a short spike of hardness as a result of successful stimulation. In addition, wells with high H2S remain a challenge for stimulation as a result for iron sulfide scale limited dissolving with available chemical in the industry. The final oil production tripled over a period of 3 months, which paid back the cost of the pilot. To our knowledge, based on an SPE literature search, this is the first comprehensive Sandstone Acid Stimulation in thermal EOR operation conducted with the following combination of technologies: 1) skin characterization techniques either wellbore or deep reservoir, and 2) Using downhole sensors with rigless operation of coiled tubing units at harsh conditions. The outcomes open a new frontier for well enhancement in matured thermal EOR development in multi-stack reservoirs, offering better offtake management, safeguard reserve over the field life cycle. The cost of the stimulation per well project was paid off in the first 4 weeks, and chemicals used were developed in an eco-friendly system with much less CO2 emission compared to commodity chemical which allow better management for CO2 emission.
