Abstract:

Feedback systems that control the leg joints of animals must be highly flexible in adapting to different behavioural tasks. One manifestation of such flexibility is changes in the gain of joint control networks. The femur&shy;tibia (FT) control network of the locust leg is one of the feedback systems most thoroughly studied with regard to its neural circuitry. Despite excellent information concerning network topology, however, actual gain changes and their underlying mechanisms have not yet been examined because of the marked spontaneous variations in the action of the control network for

Abstract:

Corrective flight steering with the hindlegs was investigated in intact tethered flying locusts inside a wind tunnel as well as in animals dissected for intracellular recording and showing fictive flight activity. In intact tethered flying animals, activity in the second coxal abductor muscle (M126) was highly correlated with hindleg steering and was coupled to the elevator phase of the flight cycle. Fictive flight and steering could also be elicited in animals dissected for intracellular recording of motoneurones innervating M126. During fictive flight activity, motoneurones 126 were rhythmic

The article is devoted to the role that various castles played in the historical narrative of Walter Scott. The object of the study was mainly his first novel «Waverly». The question posed in the article is formulated as follows: why did Walter Scott, who distanced his writing from the genre of the Gothic novel and at the same time did not focus his attention on the reconstruction of the knight’s novel (both of them widely used the topos of the castle) fill his novels with the description of castles, making them the main place of action and the condition of the plot intrigues.

Las novelas de Emmanuelle Bayamack-Tam, pobladas por personajes marginales, con múltiples psicopatologías, constituyen un objeto privilegiado para la reflección sobre la inscripción de la locura en la literatura. Tras los pasos de Foucault, la escritora problematiza la producción social y discursiva de la locura; en sus textos, despliega un discurso no sólo sobre, sino también de la locura o más bien de las locuras (polífonas, plurales), montando una palabra excesiva y transgresiva, lunática y lírica, que oscila entre el silencio y el canto. Este análisis se centra en la novela Hymen (2003), m

Abstract:

The short history of the Hollywood novel provides a useful index of the ways that 20th-century U.S. literature has imagined the relation of sign systems to the external reality with which they would coincide. Very early Hollywood novels like Harry Leon Wilson's Merton of the Movies (1922) found their critiques of the nascent film industry on its fictiveness and conventionality, indicting Hollywood for the falsification of reality. Literature in general and the Hollywood novel in particular would serve, by implication, to set the record straight. As modernism in its many permutations supplanted

Abstract:

Simultaneous intracellular recordings were made in locusts from (a) flight motor neurones and (b) output interneurones of the flight oscillator. The insects were mounted with the head at the centre of rotation of an artificial horizon. During fictive flight, these animals responded to simulated deviations from course with the changes in motor output appropriate to course-correction manoeuvres, as previously described. In the motor neurone of depressor muscle MN98 (mesothoracic second basalar) these changes take the form of systematic variation in amplitude in the cyclical depolarization seen i

Rhythmic activity of leg motor neurons could be evoked in isolated locust thoracic ganglia as well as in preparations of two or three connected thoracic ganglia superfused with the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine. Rhythms were always more regular and reliably elicited in single isolated ganglia. When the ganglia were connected, rhythmic activity of leg motor neurons was not usually simultaneously evoked in all six hemiganglia. Typically, some of the hemiganglia were rhythmically active, whereas others showed tonic or highly irregular activity. 2. Action potentials from leg motor neuron pools

Durante a Guerra Civil Espanhola (1936-1939), operou-se um intenso debate ideológico entre as forças políticas que se confrontavam nos campos de batalha. Canções e cartazes de guerra foram eficientes instrumentos de divulgação das idéias de anarquistas, comunistas e nacionalistas. Tal debate, porém, já se havia anunciado nas duas primeiras décadas do século XX, quando esses grupos políticos veicularam suas ideologias através de textos ficcionais dirigidos às massas. Naquele contexto, o pensamento defendido pelos anarquistas circulou em mais de seiscentas novelas da série Novela Ideal, que visa

Abstract:

Chapter Two explores space science fiction as a locus of enunciation for the representation of otherness in Franco’s Spain. In parallel with the constant reports of UFO activity, space technologies and alien worlds portrayed in literary and visual texts used to re-imagine social antagonisms and varied utopian longings. Spanish outer space imaginaries displaced the ideological coordinates of American science fiction that had proliferated during the height of the Cold War. In those narratives, aliens shared many traits with the communist infiltrators as popularized by the so-called “Red Scare” propaganda”. Spanish outer space fictions displayed new interpretations of extraterrestrial life determined by the political position of Franco’s Spain as the Fascist “Other” incorporated into the democratic capitalist bloc. This chapter examines utopian science fiction novels, radio-theater series, and comics books in which different political and social orders were imagined: the kiosk novels La saga de los Aznar (1953-1958) by Pascual Enguídanos (George H. White), Tomás Salvador’s novels La nave (1959) and Marsuf, vagabundo del espacio (1962), Diego Valor radio-theater series and comics (1953-1958), and comic books and cartons by creators who suffered an “inner exile”.

Abstract:

This chapter traces the sporadic historical development of the science fiction genre in Hong Kong cinema and analyses several films made in Hong Kong since 1979, which adopt science fiction elements to negotiate cultural and ideological anxieties related to modernity, coloniality and Chinese nationalism. The films analysed in this chapter blend science fiction motifs, iconography and narratives with other local genres such as wuxia, kung fu, comedy and the undercover cop/agent thriller. This mixing of genres foregrounds Hong Kong cinema’s particular ideological perspective, which sometimes undermines, challenges or embraces the conventions of the science fiction genre. In this experimental stage from the late-1970s to the 1980s, Hong Kong science fiction films reveal the locus of Hong Kong cinema as one that shuttles between the local, national and global, both resisting and welcoming the modernity that the imagination of science fiction offers. This negotiation is a reaction to Hong Kong’s position in-between Chinese nationalism and British colonialism.

Abstract:

This chapter outlines the reasons why the business which has played such a seminal role in Southern California’s cultural and economic development is also so often associated with moral corruption, madness and murder. It begins by outlining the factors behind Hollywood’s establishment as the centre of the global movie-making industry. It is then argued that Nathanael West’s 1939 novel The Day of the Locust is a paradigmatic literary example of the ‘Hollywood Gothic’ because it is saturated with an awareness of Hollywood’s seductive, insane, over-arching ‘dream-life’, and a sense that life even on the margins of the industry is inescapably chaotic and subject to the terrifying whims of the mob.

Abstract:

This paper explores the concept of the hinge in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway and Katherine Mansfield short fiction. It analyses instances of instability in these texts: psychological, postural, cultural, meteorological, diurnal, and seasonal. The argument makes use of Barthes to consider structural “nuclei” (hinge-points) in these narratives. Mrs. Dalloway is set in mid-June at the solstice which is a hinge-point of the year. The novel begins with doors being taken off their hinges and this unhinging leads to moments of enlightenment. The hinge is used metaphorically to suggest freedom and movement in time, space, class, and gender. A hinge both connects and separates. Gates and doors are used to show societal divisions and associations in these fictions. The hinge is considered as a paradoxical site of potential; a locus of decision-making or undecidability; of opening and closing; of “swinging both ways”. This trope is rich in significance and the paper considers a variety of related ideas: axels, still points, rotation, oscillation, liminality, translation, transition and trespass.

Abstract:

The coda to Transgression & Redemption considers how the knowledges, methods, and values of the book might contribute to further considerations of the American novel, with immediate emphasis on several canonical masterpieces of the 1930s, including William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! (1936), Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), and Nathanael West’s The Day of the Locust (1939); how, alternatively, the critical repertoire of this book might contribute to Hollywood scholarship beyond poststructuralist feminist critique, with emphasis split between the erotic-spiritual edginess of individual Criterion-canonized masterpieces (the not happily-ever-after: Casablanca, All About Eve, Blue Velvet) and the luminous achievement of “sexually ever after” in serial Hollywood films, featuring Bogey and Bacall, Katherine Hepburn and one of her men, or Myrna Loy and William Powell; and how, finally, the book’s critical reorientation can reveal the mythopoetic force of American popular music, beginning for illustration’s sake with the two greatest vocalists in that history, Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, whose vocalized radiance, entailing bent notes and captured lyric, express obsessively the twin dimensions of incarnate passion, sex and sentiment. Or, as the two of them (sort of Catholics, Marian both) liked to put it, body and soul.

Abstract:

Chronicling the Commune’s returns across a surprisingly vast and visually striking archive of periodical poems and illustrations, panoramic spectacles, children’s adventure fiction, popular and canonical novels, political pamphlets, avant-garde theater productions, and radical pulp, this book argues that the Commune became, for writers and readers across virtually all classes and political persuasions, a critical locus for re-occupying both radical and mainstream memory of revolution and empire, a key site for negotiating post-bellum gender trouble and regional reconciliation, and a vital terrain for rethinking Paris—and what it meant to be an American there—in U.S. fiction and culture. For Americans felt Paris to be curiously their own long before the Moderns made it their hometown. This introductory chapter explores the key words at the heart of the book, and offers a taste of its material terrain. It concludes with an overview of its subsequent chapters.

In the novel, it is the place where characters, plots, and subplots come together to enjoy and to produce the rich complexities of Victorian fiction. In etiquette and conduct books, it is the central social space where the rules that govern Victorian society arc made manifest. Crucial to the dinner party that figures and so prominently figures in so many texts of the period is the heroine, ,vhosc presence and conversations at these social encounters so profoundly influence their outcome.
