Abstract:
A pattern recognition technique has been applied to analyse the near-wake of a sphere for a Reynolds (Re) criteria of 12 900 and 25 900. Measurements of the main components of the down-stream turbulent flow of the dynamic field of a sphere allowed to confirm literature data. Fluctuations of the streamwise velocity component were measured simultaneously by eight hot-wire anemometers arranged in a circular pattern with the radius corresponding to the position of the extrema of the Reynolds stress [Formula: see text]. For streamwise locations xld = 18 (d = 4 cm) and 36 (d = 2 cm) (d, diameter of the sphere; x, longitudinal position relative to the centre of the sphere), in the near-wake of the sphere, structures occur periodically. The Strouhal number characterizing this periodic activity is 0.18. These structures, which also exhibit some spatial periodicity, seem to constitute the counterpart of the Kármán vortex path detected in the wake of a cylinder perpendicular to the main flow. In the wake of a sphere, these structures might appear in the three-dimensional form of continuous crenellated rings for xld = 18, or interrupted in one or several points of their circumference for xld = 36.

Abstract:
Une révolution silencieuse s’est opérée sous nos yeux, une révolution de velours bleu étoilé, l’Union possédant désormais des compétences en matière de sécurité intérieure. Produit du mouvement d’intégration, la sécurité intérieure forme en effet à présent un champ d’intervention de l’Union, ceci au motif que si la sécurité demeure une prérogative nationale individuelle, elle est une responsabilité partagée. Son intervention relève à cet égard de la nécessité d’une approche commune face à des dangers qui dépassent les cadres nationaux. Il ne s’agit pas, pour l’Union, de se subroger aux États membres dans leurs prérogatives de sécurité. Il est question au contraire de rendre plus efficace leur action en mettant en synergie leurs efforts, à travers différentes combinaisons de modes d’intervention (subventions de projets innovants, établissement de structures de soutien, mutualisation de moyens de niche, mise en place de projets pilotes, etc.) À cet égard, il est possible de retracer l’émergence de la sécurité intérieure européenne : ses débuts entre 1970 et 2000, son émergence à la suite des attentats du 11 septembre 2001, et son développement, particulièrement dans le sillage des attentats de 2015.

Abstract:
La reconquête du Royaume de Naples par l’armée paysanne du cardinal Ruffo en 1799 devient, pour Ferdinand IV de Bourbon, non seulement l’occasion de se rétablir sur le trône et de purger toute trace de républicanisme, mais aussi de moderniser l’État dans le sens d’une centralisation monarchique, menant finalement à bien les réformes limitant le pouvoir de la noblesse initiées lors de la décennie précédente et jusque-là restées inachevées. L’action punitive de la noblesse et de la bourgeoisie par les structures provisoires de gouvernement ainsi que la conscience du rôle joué, dans cette entreprise, par la Santa Fede (l’armée paysanne de la Sainte Foi, organisée et guidée par le cardinal Ruffo) amènent, cependant, le peuple du royaume à vouloir intervenir dans la sphère publique bien au-delà de ce que la monarchie n’aurait pu prévoir ou souhaiter. En effet, la déception populaire quant à l’issue de cette Première Restauration éloigne, de facto , le programme politique de la Couronne des instances politiques du bas peuple, contribuant ainsi, dans le sillage de la révolte de 1647, à faire de ce dernier un acteur autonome sur la scène napolitaine.

Abstract:
This study investigates Silla’s territorial expansion strategy west of the Sobaek Mountains, focusing on the systematic relationship between fortresses and tombs from a landscape perspective. Silla established complex regional centers around key fortresses, surrounded by tombs, which functioned as military defenses and administrative, economic, and religious hubs. The Samnyeonsanseong Fortress-Tomb model exemplifies Silla’s approach to integrating new territories. This model demonstrates how Silla shaped local identities, strengthened central control, and ensured stable regional governance through the spatial arrangement of fortresses and tombs. Samnyeonsanseong Fortress, strategically located at the intersection of east-west and north-south transportation routes, played a crucial role in Silla‘s military defense and administrative integration amidst competition with Baekje and Goguryeo. Similar fortress-tomb systems were implemented in other regions, including Jeokseong Fortress in Danyang, Hupomaerisanseong Fortress in Yangyang, Iseongsanseong Fortress in Hanam, and Achasanseong Fortress in Seoul, reflecting Silla’s systematic approach to establishing control while considering local geographical and social structures. This research reveals that Silla’s fortress-tomb system was more than a means of physical domination. It played a vital role in incorporating new regional populations into Silla’s unified community. This regional governance strategy significantly contributed to securing Silla’s cultural homogeneity and political stability and is evaluated as a common governance strategy applied to expanded territories during Silla‘s period of expansion.

Abstract:
Entre 1902 et 1917 aux États-Unis, en particulier dans les quartiers populaires des grandes villes de la côte Est, se déroulent de nombreuses émeutes, manifestations et boycotts autour du prix des denrées alimentaires. Ces mobilisations sont principalement menées par des femmes, en particulier des mères de famille juives orthodoxes, qui réclament le droit de nourrir leur famille. Cet article revient sur ces mouvements afin de montrer que les questions liées à la nourriture et à l’alimentation permettent la politisation de populations (ici, les femmes immigrées) n’ayant pas ou peu accès aux lieux de politisation considérés comme légitimes (partis, syndicats). Dans le sillage des travaux d’historiennes comme Dana Frank, Paula Hyman ou Lynn Taylor, on analysera tout d’abord les modes de mobilisation spécifiques auxquels donnent lieu ces manifestations ; souvent interprétées comme apolitiques, car émanant de communautés plutôt que de structures politiques constituées, elles témoignent néanmoins de modes d’organisation spécifiques qui ne se laissent pas réduire à de simples éruptions spontanées de colère. Dans un second temps, on étudiera le positionnement des femmes qui sont les protagonistes de ces événements ; se présentant comme épouses et mères, pourvoyeuses de nourriture pour leur foyer, elles ne remettent pas en cause les rôles de genre traditionnels. Néanmoins, par leur irruption dans l’espace public, elles quittent la sphère domestique et font preuve d’un engagement, dont diverses organisations – socialistes notamment – vont tenter de se saisir pour l’associer à leurs causes. On développera enfin la question du symbolisme des denrées alimentaires associées à ces mouvements de révolte ; pour la majorité de ces femmes, issues de milieux pauvres d’Europe de l’Est, la viande rouge, les œufs, le beurre et le lait étaient inaccessibles dans leurs pays d’origine. Cependant, leur arrivée aux États-Unis s’accompagne de nouvelles habitudes alimentaires, parmi lesquelles la consommation régulière de viande, et de nouvelles attentes liées à l’image d’abondance associée au mythe du rêve américain.

Abstract:
Being a biologically diversed hotspot in the global marine ecosystem, the Beibu Gulf is inhabited by a high diversity of fish and serves as a vital fishing ground in China. Due to continuous overfishing, the fishery resource has drastically declined in the Beibu Gulf. However, information about the ichthyoplankton assemblages in this area is still lacking. In this present study, ichthyoplankton diversity, spatial and temporal distribution patterns, and assemblage structures were examined using the specimens collected in the late summer–autumn and winter of 2022 in the Beibu Gulf, and the relationship between ichthyoplankton assemblage and environmental variables was studied. A total of 117 ichthyoplankton taxa, belonging to 13 orders and 42 families, were recorded. The most abundant families were Gerreidae, Leiognathidae, and Sillaginidae in late summer–autumn, accounting for 38.74%, 27.95%, and 9.94%, respectively. Sparidae, Platycephalidae, and Sillaginidae were the most abundant families in winter, accounting for 34.03%, 17.15%, and 8.20%, respectively. Cluster analysis identified five assemblages in late summer-autumn and four assemblages in winter. The most characteristic species in each cluster were Terapon jarbua, Sillago sihama, Leiognathus brevirostris, Mene maculate, and Scomberoides tol in late summer-autumn and Scomberomorus commerson, Acanthopagrus latus, Sillago sp., and Evynnis cardinalis in winter. The results of the canonical correspondence analysis indicated that pH, chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), depth, dissolved oxygen (DO), sea surface salinity (SSS), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) were the major environmental variables affecting the ichthyoplankton assemblage structure in the Beibu Gulf. The finding of this study will provide valuable information in conserving fish spawning grounds and developing fishery management practices to protect fishery resources in the Beibu Gulf.

Abstract:
Dans le sillage des récents changements politico-économiques dans le nord du Canada, des équipes mobiles de chasseurs-trappeurs et pêcheurs chipewyans (Dene) subissent de nos jours de longues périodes d’isolement, loin des villages où vivent et travaillent les autres membres de leurs familles. Dans ce contexte, les hommes chipewyans sont confrontés à un dilemme structurel. Ils doivent choisir entre reproduire, abandonner ou modifier les savoir-faire hautement spécialisés du traitement et de la transformation de la nourriture qui étaient habituellement réalisés par les femmes, dans les campements familiaux saisonniers et nomades des années précédentes. L’analyse se concentre sur la préparation des repas et les pratiques de dîner dans les camps forestiers exclusivement masculins des dernières années, et sur la manière dont ces comportements reflètent de pénibles changements dans les relations entre genres. Paradoxalement, tandis que les hommes ont gardé de nombreux ingrédients historiques et familiers dans leur régime alimentaire, l’absence des savoir-faire des femmes dans la préparation de ces aliments confère à la cuisine contemporaine des hommes une place potentiellement ambiguë : une nourriture de la forêt, ou de la piste, qui n’est plus pleinement chipewyane.

Abstract:
Fish eggs have a wide range of predators. However, observing these predators is challenging, as is identifying fish eggs based on morphological traits. In this study, we observed hydroids, which are sessile organisms, consuming pelagic fish eggs. We conducted cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) metabarcoding to identify both the predator and the prey species. Massive COI reads were de novo assembled and nine representative sequences were constructed. The predator, identified from the representative sequences and its morphological features, was determined as Ectopleura crocea. The fish eggs that had been preyed upon belonged to two species: Sillago japonica and Parajulis poecilepterus. Additionally, four arthropod species (Labidocera rotunda, Oithona similis, Paracalanus parvus, and Pseudevadne tergestina) were consumed, and their morphological traits could not be observed, due to digestion. COI metabarcoding was an effective tool for studying the feeding activity of these small predators.

Full text
Abstract:
Ports and waterways are integral components of the maritime transport system, facilitating global trade and logistics. Governments, ports, and service providers levy charges on vessels for the use of fairways, port access, and associated services. This study analyzes the port and fairway fee strategies of seven major Baltic Sea ports across four countries: Estonia (Tallinn and Sillamäe), Latvia (Riga and Ventspils), Finland (Helsinki and HaminaKotka), and Sweden (Stockholm). The analysis evaluates the application of general port pricing principles in these ports’ strategies. The findings reveal that port fees are predominantly value-based, with tariff rates varying by vessel type and cargo. However, no uniform structure exists for fairway fees. Notably, incorporating environmental components into fairway fee calculations emerges as a promising mechanism to promote sustainability in maritime transport. By incentivizing the adoption of environmentally friendly vessels through differentiated fee structures, ports and policymakers can accelerate the transition toward greener shipping practices. This study highlights the role of economic instruments in advancing environmental objectives and emphasizes the need for a harmonized, sustainability-driven approach to fairway and port pricing in the Baltic Sea region.

Abstract:
Society demands effective electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers that are lightweight, with a broad absorption band and strong absorption, to solve excessive electromagnetic radiation. Herein, ultralight magnetic graphite-like C3N4/carbon foam (MCMF) was fabricated via impregnating polymerized melamine formaldehyde (MF) foams in Fe3O4 nanoparticle solution, followed by in situ pyrolysis at 1000 °C. MCMF possesses porous architectures consisting of graphitic C3N4/carbon and CFe15.1. The magnetic particles (α-Fe, Fe3O4 and Fe3C) were formed and modified on the internal skeleton surface. The EMW absorption capacity of MCMF is better than the that of carbonized MF foam without Fe3O4 (CMF), possessing excellent absorption behavior, with a minimum RL value of −47.38 dB and a matching thickness as thin as 3.90 mm. The corresponding effective absorbing bandwidth is as broad as 13.32 GHz. Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars (MWS) polarization and the residual loss are proved to be beneficial for such superior absorption behavior. Besides, graphitic C3N4 enriches the interface polarization effect and the electromagnetic matching effect. The microporous structures are beneficial for increasing EMW propagation, resulting in internal multiple reflections and scatterings, which are also beneficial for EMW attenuation.

Full text
Abstract:
This study unpacks the Buddhist assimilation of Namsan (South Mountain) in Kyŏngju through the creation and aggregation of Buddhist sculptures and structures on its slopes during the seventh to tenth centuries. Though steeped in native lore regarding nature deities and efficacious rocks, auspicious geological features such as Namsan were recast as part of a Buddhist landscape filled with manifestations of the Buddha and his attendants. These images served to demarcate claims of Buddhism’s place in the peninsula and were situated within sites that were previously marked and claimed by indigenous systems of belief. Employing an approach that draws parallels with David Harvey’s concept of urban environments as palimpsests, this paper reveals that Namsan was a multifaceted site, with military fortifications, temples, and rock-carved sculptures augmenting its spiritual and political significance. The repeated installation of Buddhist imagery ‘recovered’ the mountain, subsuming indigenous beliefs under Buddhist practices. This research finds that Namsan’s landscape was purposefully layered, reflecting the dialectical relationship between various communities and their religious and social practices over time. Analyzing Namsan as a palimpsest underscores the strategic appropriation of the mountain’s materiality and sacrality to establish a Buddhist territory deeply intertwined with the Silla elite’s politics and ideologies.

Full text
Abstract:
During the Soviet occupation of 1945-1991, Estonia became a Soviet Republic and was cut off from open contact with the Western world. The Estonian coastline was now the outer border of the Soviet Union and part of the Iron Curtain. On the coast of the Baltic Sea this was less visible than in some places (e.g. the Berlin wall), but the military control was no less restrictive. The coastal areas were under military control and accessible only with special permits – so often the inhabitants had to leave and their homes were taken over by the Soviet military or abandoned. Military installations also marked the Soviet security zone. There was a massive construction programme of artillery defensive positions along the coastline. As the last Soviet troops left Estonia in 1994, the Soviet military installations were left to the Estonian Republic. Most were stripped of anything useful and abandoned. Many of these objects or complexes are still visible in the landscape but most are forgotten and ruined. They are not yet seen as a part of Estonian heritage and are fast disappearing. A study of a section of the NE coast of Estonia has identified a military landscape along with the former closed city of Sillamäe (where uranium was refined). Mapping of the defence structures, assessment of their condition and their visible presence reveals a distinctive military landscape alongside collectivised agriculture, where residential quarters, roads and communications formed a unique complex. Interviews with local residents reveal how the zone and the restrictions were ever present in their lives and generally they are not interested in them or their preservation; younger interviewees with no memory view the remains as curiosities; there is the beginning of interest in them as part of a “dissonant heritage”.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine how childhoodness was constructed through the burial artifacts and structures in Silla tombs of the High-mound Tomb Period, and to explore the implications of this perception of children in Silla society. Through theoretical review, it was recognized that childhood can be defined as a multidimensional concept, and a comprehensive study of historical literature indicated that the distinction between adults and children was considered to be around the age of 15. Based on osteological data, the analysis was conducted on approximately 110 tombs and around 1,200 burial items from the Three Kingdoms period, focusing on the Imdang A, B, G districts and the Yaean-ri site in Gimhae, where a certain number of children's and adults' tombs could be distinguished. The results revealed that although jar-coffin tombs have traditionally been regarded as representative of children's burials, in reality, more children were interred in tomb types such as stone-lined and wooden-chamber tombs, which were also used for adults. While children buried in these tombs could be distinguished from adults by the long-axis length of the burial chamber (set at 2m), about half of the children were buried in tombs longer than 2m. Without osteological evidence, distinguishing between adult and child tombs based on the scale of the burial structure, contents, and quantity of burial items alone may be challenging. It is estimated that children's tombs, including jar-coffin tombs, constituted about 15-34% of the total tombs. However, considering the high child mortality rate at the time, this proportion is relatively low, and most infants under the age of one year appear to have been handled in ways that have not been detected in current findings. Therefore, jar-coffin tombs can be seen as a burial type for only a small portion of child deaths, although the criteria for selection remain unknown. Ultimately, jar-coffin tombs do not represent the child population, and it is difficult to identify exclusive characteristics unique to children's burials within the broader funerary practices. The reason why the expression of childhood is not prominently emphasized in the extant tomb data is not necessarily indicative of the neglect of childhoodness. Rather, some children were treated as ‘small adults,’ implying that their social membership was acknowledged, and they were interred in a manner equivalent to that of adults.

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigated the usages, characteristics, and chronological records by categorizing the earthenware buried in fixed or inverse positions as a unit-structured relic in the major temples of the Silla era, which are located in the capital area of Silla within Gyeongju, such as Hwangnyongsa Temple Site, Bunhwangsa Temple, Jeoninyongsa Temple Site, Cheongwansa Temple Site, and Changnimsa Temple Site. It was confirmed that most temples of the Silla era included a large gourd-shaped building assembly site (大壺群集建物址). The large gourd-shaped building assembly sites were typically located in the surroundings of the northeast areas, especially the northern part of the central temple site. This locational pattern also appeared at the temples in the Baekje area and the royal capital area of Japan during the same period, and certain norms must have been applied to the space layout of the building during the construction of temples. This study, in particular, identified that the usage of large kettle-shaped building assembly sites was a conventional warehouse or a storage facility, but it also raised a possibility of a brewing facility. The items suppressing the bad energies of the ground buried in the temples of the Silla era were typically connected to the stylobates or cornerstones of a specific building and were often positioned around a pagoda or special building sites, exhibiting in a certain direction. Such a burial activity was perceived as an intentional and ceremonial event, and was understood to be stemmed from traditional religious rituals or religious aspirations toward specific objects. There are some potteries that exhibit the characteristics of an item containing human bones among the buried potteries classified into the conventional items suppressing the bad energies of the ground in the surrounding temple sites away from the Buddist service area which is the center of a temple. In the future, the analysis on the natural scientific contents of the buried earthenware is further required in surveys of temples and real-life historical remains.

Abstract:
The stone masonry facilities in the capital of Silla had estimated various functions, such as ceremonial spaces, storage facilities, water collecting basins, stone ice storage, and toilets. However, previous assumptions have led to confusion about their actual functions. The stone masonry facilities of the Silla period are installed in the ground like the stone outer coffin tomb's shape.&#x0D; This paper suggests the function and use of the stone masonry facilities. The Silla capital has around 190 stone works. It is difficult to describe them simply as the water collecting facility or the stone ice storage. Especially, in ancient Silla houses, the masonry facilities were often positioned at the north or northwest side, similar to the toilet site location in ancient documents. Many documents covertly describe the toilet shed and the defecation. Most of the masonry facilities in the Silla capital were located behind the house walls or buildings. Therefore, it could be presumed that the masonry facilities were toilet sheds, based on their location on the north or northwest side and their proximity to the house wall.&#x0D; On the other hand, the stone masonry facilities in the Silla capital are often uncovered in various forms that added with the stone structures for the toilets or a drainage ditch. The Dongcheon-dong site's toilet shed is thought to be public, and the Silla capital has several types of toilet sheds. This aspect of the toilet sheds might not be controlled by the country because the toilet is an essential facility for life. It is possible that the Silla people shared similar methods and motifs when installing their toilet sheds using the masonry facilities, as evidenced by their similar attribute values (area, volume, etc.).

Abstract:
This research aims to review the nature of the artifact assemblage excavated in Sanseong-ri, Pyeongsan, Hwanghae-do, and further to reappreciate the atmosphere in the frontier society during the late-Silla period(下代), under the consideration that textual and archaeologicaldata need to be understood along with each other.&#x0D; The contexts surrounding the discovery of the assemblage can be found from the Japanese Government-General Museum of Korea document, which is now stored in the National Museum of Korea. Since the artifacts were discovered in a relatively shallow depth without any additional structures, it is unlikely that they were grave goods. The artifact assemblage is composed of decorative cup-shaped stirrups(壺鐙), flower-shaped bronze dishes, and bronze spoons, which are dated to the late 9th century CE.&#x0D; To understand the spatial meaning of the site where the artifacts were discovered, how Paegang-jin(浿江鎭) operated during the late-Silla period deserves consideration. The reconstruction of how the appointment rule according to governmental rank system worked in the 9th century Paegang-jin regarding its head, Dusangdaegam(頭上大監), reveals that the royals were sent and the ministers corresponding to the rule were appointed here, and in this regard, it operated quite normally. In 895, however, as Gungye's advance into this region became active, Paegang-jin came to its end in no more than 10 years.&#x0D; Recently, there is a strong trend to draw out ‘ritual meaning’ regarding the nature of the Sanseong-ri artifacts. However, it is still unclear what the ritual is, which required the sacrifice of the elaborately decorated artifacts in such a large amount. Therefore, until any additional contemporary data directly supporting the ‘ritual nature’ of the artifacts are presented, it would be reasonable to understand the Sanseong-ri artifacts as ‘hoards(退藏遺物)’, resulting from the political turmoil at the end of the 9th century.&#x0D; In the 9th century, Paegang-jin enjoyed the flower-shaped bronze dishes of similar origin to Chinese imperial family’s as well as the decorative cup-shaped stirrups hardly found even near the capital. It is time to reconsider the frontier society during the late-Silla period and in this regard, the status of the Sanseong-ri artifacts is quite significant.

Abstract:
This study reanalyzes animal bones excavated from site in Nodong-dong No.12 to examine their characteristics. The site has revealed various domestic structures and artifacts related to workshops, confirming its function as a production area. Numerous disassembly marks found on the excavated animal bones suggest their use within this workshop context. Analysis of a total of 277 animal bones identified 13 species, with cattle and horses accounting for 70% of the findings. The majority of these animals were determined to be in their adults age, indicating selective slaughter practices. Based on the findings from Nodong-dong, this research compares the usage patterns and characteristics of animal bones from two other production sites in Gyeongju: Site in Seongdong-dong No. 386-6 and Site in Hwangnam-dong No. 376. All three sites exhibited a high proportion of cattle and horses, reflecting a shift in production and demand patterns compared to the Three Kingdoms period. Notably, only Nodong-dong No.12 had revealed phalanges, suggesting simultaneous disassembly and disposal, indicating a mixed use of animal bones in both workshop and residential contexts, and it is considered a private workshop for the ruling class. Additionally, the presence of cut marks on skulls across all sites indicates the utilization of brain, potentially for the leather tanning process. The disassembly methods observed appear to have continued from the Three Kingdoms period. These skull marks suggest that there was a significant demand for horse and cattle hides during the Unified Silla period, individual leather production processes existed in each workshop for the ruling class. Future accumulation of more data on animal bones from the Unified Silla period is anticipated to provide clearer insights into the patterns and methods of animal resource utilization during this era.

En lo dom&eacute;stico, la clave de la &ldquo;modernizaci&oacute;n&rdquo; reside en cambiar, no simplemente un conjunto de artefactos, sino un sistema de comportamiento &ndash;fen&oacute;meno denominado wayō setchū&ndash;, a trav&eacute;s de fusionar dos formas de vida: hecho que conlleva una multiplicidad de pr&aacute;cticas espaciales y corporales, una divisi&oacute;n conceptual de los espacios y un desdoblamiento de la identidad del h&aacute;bitat (TEASLEY, 2001). Dentro del nuevo sistema de objetos que colonizan el espacio dom&eacute;stico de forma repentina, la protagonista indiscutible es la silla, cuya introducci&oacute;n desencadena, entre otros, un cambio en los h&aacute;bitos corporales, en el plano visual del usuario, en la percepci&oacute;n sensitiva y afectiva del sistema de objetos, as&iacute; como en el protagonismo del mueble en la configuraci&oacute;n del espacio. &nbsp; The most drastic period in the development of the Japanese domestic space is designated with the term wakonyousai &ndash;literally, Japanese-spirit/Western-style&ndash; and spans from late Edo to the early Meiji Period. The implementation of western spatial structures, political and social doctrines, as well as new routines in everyday life, initiated with the Meiji restoration, becomes during the next years an ideological weapon to create a new &ldquo;modern Japan&rdquo;. In reference to the domestic space, the key of &ldquo;modernization&rdquo; lies in changing not only a set of household artifacts, but a whole system of behavior &ndash;a phenomenon called wayō setchū,&ndash; by merging two different forms of life, which leads to a multiplicity of spatial and corporeal practices, to a conceptual division of space, and to a split in the identity of the habitat (TEASLEY, 2001). As part of the new system of objects to suddenly colonize the domestic space, the chair is the unquestionable protagonist. Its appearance induced, among others, a change in the corporal habits, in the visual plane of the user, in the sensory and emotional perception of the system of objects, and in the role furniture plays in the overall space configuration.

Abstract:
FR. Alors que les journalistes militants ont été un rouage essentiel à la construction de l’environnement comme problème public en Chine, les jeunes journalistes cherchent au cours des années 2000 à se distinguer de leurs aînés en se faisant reconnaitre par la mise en avant d’un professionnalisme et d’une expertise indépendante et objective. Pourtant ce discours entre en contradiction avec leur aspiration à l’engagement. Ils continuent à jouer, dans les limites de ce que permet la censure, un rôle engagé et critique, même si la nature et la forme de leur engagement ont changé et qu’il s’accompagne d’investigations et d’analyses plus approfondies. Ce désir d’engagement devient en revanche difficile à assumer lorsqu’ils sont en situation de réflexivité. Il se heurte à la fois à l’influence du modèle du journalisme à l’américaine et à la volonté de se forger une identité nouvelle fondée sur des valeurs qui les tiennent loin de l’image de militant de leurs aînés dont l’impartialité et les compétences ont publiquement été remises en cause par des scientifiques pro-barrages dans les années 2000. Dans le sillage des réflexions menées sur la subjectivité journalistique par Cyril Lemieux, cet article prend au sérieux les contradictions qui existent au niveau de l’individu. Ce faisant, il entend apporter un nouvel éclairage sur les mécanismes d’évolution du rôle des journalistes dans la construction des problèmes publics. Il cherche à rendre compte du rapport complexe qu’ils entretiennent à leur mission ainsi que des difficultés qu’ils ont à accorder leurs différentes aspirations et à faire concorder discours de légitimation et pratique. Il montre que le flou d’un continuum entre journalistes, militants et internautes est à l’origine d’une crise de légitimité qui participe à la transformation de la rhétorique journalistique. Cherchant à s’éloigner des contraintes que représente pour eux le politique, ils s’engagent en fait dans un processus de requalification des rapports entre journalisme et politique qui affecte leur manière de penser et de mettre en œuvre leur mission et leur implication dans la construction des problèmes publics. L’analyse se base sur des entretiens semi-directifs avec des journalistes chinois couvrant le domaine environnemental ainsi que des observations participantes dans une association environnementale pékinoise dont l’objectif principal est la formation des journalistes de l’environnement. Elle se nourrit également d’un corpus d’articles de journaux, de sites internet, forums et réseaux sociaux. *** EN. While activist journalists have been an essential cog in framing environmental issues as a public concern in China, young journalists in the 2000’s seek to distance themselves from their predecessors by emphasizing higher levels of professionalism as well as an independent and objective expertise. Yet this discourse contradicts with their aspiration of activism. They continue to play, within the limits of what censorship allows, an engaged and critical role, even if the nature and form of their involvement has changed and is accompanied by more in-depth investigation and analysis. The will to engage, however, becomes difficult to sustain when they are in a reflexive situation. It collides with both the influence of the American-style journalism models and the aspiration to build a new identity based on values that keep them away from the militant image of their predecessors, whose impartiality and competence were publicly questioned by pro-dam scientists in the 2000s. In line with Cyril Lemieux's work on journalistic subjectivity, this article considers contradictions present at the individual level. In doing so, it aims at casting a new light on the mechanisms underlying the evolution of the role of journalists in the construction of public problems. It attempts at exposing the complex relationship journalists have with their mission, as well as the difficulties they have in harmonizing different aspirations and in reconciling discourse of legitimization with practice. It demonstrates that the blurring of a continuum between journalists, activists and internet users is at the origin of a crisis of legitimacy that participates in the transformation of journalistic rhetoric. Seeking to distance themselves from the constraints posed by politics, they are in fact engaging in a process of re-qualification of the relationship between journalism and politics that affects how they think and implement their mission and their involvement in the construction of public problems. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with Chinese journalists working on environmental issues, as well as participant observation in a Beijing environmental association whose main purpose is the training of environmental journalists. It also draws on a corpus of newspaper articles, websites, forums and social networks. *** PT.

Ela esbarra tanto na influência do modelo jornalístico de estilo estadunidense quanto no desejo de forjar uma nova identidade baseada em valores que os mantêm longe da imagem militante dos colegas mais velhos, cuja imparcialidade e competência foram publicamente questionadas pelos cientistas pró-damas nos anos 2000. Na esteira das reflexões de Cyril Lemieux sobre a subjetividade jornalística, este artigo leva a sério as contradições que existem em nível individual. Ao fazer isso, pretende lançar luz sobre os mecanismos de evolução do papel dos jornalistas na construção dos problemas públicos. O trabalho procura dar conta da complexa relação que esses profissionais têm com sua missão, bem como das dificuldades que eles têm em conciliar suas diferentes aspirações e em conciliar a legitimação do discurso e da prática. Mostra que a indefinição de um continuum entre jornalistas, ativistas e internautas está na origem de uma crise de legitimidade que participa da transformação da retórica jornalística. Procurando distanciar-se das restrições que a política representa para eles, esses jornalistas estão de fato engajados em um processo de requalificação da relação entre jornalismo e política que afeta sua forma de pensar e implementar sua missão e seu envolvimento na construção dos problemas públicos. A análise é baseada em entrevistas semi-estruturadas com jornalistas chineses cobrindo o campo ambiental, bem como observações dos participantes em uma associação ambiental de Pequim, cujo objetivo principal é a formação de jornalistas ambientais. Ela também se baseia em um corpus de artigos de jornais, sites, fóruns e redes sociais. ***

Abstract:
L’écosystème arbitral demeure inexploré et peu investigué, notamment dans le milieu tennistique, au sein duquel les officiels sont longtemps restés des amateurs passionnés de l’ombre. Pourtant, l’analyse de la presse spécialisée et des rares ouvrages rédigés par les intéressés eux-mêmes, couplée à des entretiens semi-directifs réalisés auprès d’anciens et d’actuels arbitres internationaux nous permet d’entrevoir historiquement la structuration de ce milieu parallèlement à l’augmentation des enjeux économiques et médiatiques apportés par l’entrée dans l’ère Open en 1968. Nous observons alors l’arrivée de badges internationaux dans en 1979 dont certains officiels français à l’instar de Patrick Flodrops et de Michel Perrot seront parmi les premiers lauréats, contribuant à hiérarchiser un milieu qui se professionnalisera ensuite comme l’expose la carrière annonciatrice de Bruno Rebeuh auprès de la fédération internationale de tennis (ITF). Depuis et dans le sillage d’une massification des évènements internationaux organisés par l’ITF, l’ATP et la WTA qui dirigent désormais le tennis dans le monde entier, le nombre d’officiels français sur l’échiquier international explose dès les années 1990 pour se structurer davantage encore et se professionnaliser dans les années 2000 dès l’échelle fédérale de telle sorte à asseoir définitivement une domination française revendiquée.

AbstractThe dielectric investigations of porous synthetic silica gel modified with polyaniline (PANI) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) polyblend at various concentrations are demonstrated in this paper. By using the chemical oxidative process to embed polyaniline (PANI) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) into a silica matrix, conducting gel nanocomposites were synthesized. For various dopant concentrations, the dielectric permittivity (ε′), D.C. conductivity (σdc), loss tangent (tanδ) and dielectric loss (ε″) were investigated. The samples were characterized using differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy. Depending on the co‐blend content, PANI‐PEG modified silica structures produce nanoparticles ranging in size from 9.9 to 48.1 nm. The variation of DC conductivity (σdc) with PANI/PEG content shows Maxwell‐Wagner Sillars (MWS) effect confirming the role of the conjugation and the structural order.

Abstract:
The use of wood, a traditional building material, in historical mosques dates back to ancient times. The use of wood, which has a wide range of applications in mosques, in the load-bearing system of the building is seen as a distinctive feature of the building. The reason for this situation is that the number of mosques in which wood is used in the load-bearing system is low today. Wooden-pillared mosques, which belong to different periods and have different plan types, can be found in different regions and cities. One of these types of structures, which are frequently encountered especially in Central and Inner Western Anatolia, is the Sille Çay Mosque in Konya. The goal of this study is to document the Sille Çay Mosque as an example of a mosque with wooden columns and to reveal its original aspect. In this context, a sketch of the current state of the building was prepared by examining the building; the architectural elements in the building were photographed, and their ornaments were analyzed. As a result, it was observed that woodworking was used extensively in the mosque, which has a basilical plan typology among the 19th-century wooden-pillared mosques, especially in the pulpit, mihrab, and lectern, and suggestions were made for the restoration of the structure.

We conjecture that there are no digraphs with excess one for and in this paper we investigate the structure of minimal counterexamples to this conjecture. We severely constrain the possible structures of the outlier function and prove the nonexistence of certain digraphs with degree three and excess one, as well closing the open cases and left by the analysis of Miller et al. We further show that there are no involutary digraphs with excess one, that is, the outlier function of any such digraph must contain a cycle of length .

Abstract:
Abstract This study aimed to enhance the hydrophobic properties of Sille stone, a material commonly employed in historic buildings in the Konya province and its surrounding areas, through a silane-based surface modification. For this purpose, using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS), and chlorotrimethylsilane (TMCS) silanes, the effects of the TEOS/HDTMS ratio, a single modifier silane (HDTMS), and a combination of two modifier silanes (HDTMS + TMCS) on the surface properties of Sille stone were investigated. Contact angle (CA) measurement, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyses were performed on pristine and surface-modified stone samples to evaluate the effectiveness and compatibility of the coatings. The natural hydrophilic property of Sille stone (CA: 7.81°) was transformed into a highly hydrophobic surface (CA up to 126°) through surface modification using low concentrations of TEOS/HDTMS and a combination of two modifier silanes (HDTMS + TMCS). FT-IR spectra confirmed that the hydrolyzable groups of the silanes reacted with the OH groups on the Sille stone surface, forming -Si-O-Si- bonds, and the presence of C-H bonds in the spectra indicated the presence of silane modifiers on the stone surface. SEM micrographs indicated that the silane-based coatings masked the microstructural elements (the large pores and needle-like fibrous structures) of the Sille stone, indicating potential compatibility between the coating and the natural stone substrate. TMCS silane as a secondary modifier resulted in a denser, more homogeneous coating with less crack defects. Consequently, when HDTMS + TMCS modifier silanes were employed in conjunction, a more protective layer was formed on the surface of the Sille stone, resulting in a markedly hydrophobic surface.

Abstract:
Diverse anthropogenic activities including alteration of hydrological regime and agricultural development in the upstream of the river catchments modify the structural components and ecological roles of the species in estuarine ecosystems. The present study compared the diet, carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopic signals, trophic niches and metrics of trophic redundancy of predatory fish and their potential phytodetritivore prey-fish between two estuaries with different degrees of anthropogenic disturbances. The δ13C and δ15N signals, Bayesian mixing models and stomach content analyses were adopted. It was revealed that the diet among the predators Arius africanus, Epinephelus coioides, Sillago sihama and Pomadasys argenteus and their isotopic signals including their phytodetritivore-prey, Valamugil buchanani were significantly different between Wami and Pangani estuaries (PERMANOVA, Pseudo –F ≥ 3.1, p = 0.05). The total isotopic niche area between estuaries accounted by the comparable Bayesian standard ellipse area (SEAb) was significantly smaller in Wami than that of Pangani (t-test, t = 4.3, p &lt; .001). The ANOVA test further confirmed significant variation in SEAb among fish populations in two estuaries (F = 27.84, p &lt; 0.001). The Layman metric indices of trophic diversity and redundancy of Wami estuary were substantially smaller than those observed at Pangani estuary. These findings mean that despite Wami estuary being under conservation status, the extent of disturbances in the upstream is high enough to induce the ecological changes at the base of the food web, subsequently cascading its effect up to the higher-order consumers of the ecosystem. As a result, the ecological redundancy and ecosystem complexity of Wami is somewhat compromised relative to that of Pangani estuary. Therefore, the degree of anthropogenic disturbances in river catchments affect differently the trophic niches of predatory and phytodetritivore fish and hence overall food web structures, trophic redundancy and complexity of estuarine ecosystems.

Abstract:
Le concept d’individualisme ne se présente pas comme une notion traditionnelle en anthropologie, ainsi que le montre son absence de la plupart des dictionnaires de la discipline. Popularisée dans l’œuvre de Louis Dumont (1966) par son opposition au holisme caractéristique des sociétés « traditionnelles » (dont l’Inde des castes constitue l’exemple paradigmatique), la notion s’avère souvent mal comprise, puisqu’elle semble suggérer une dichotomie binaire là où il est avant tout question de contraste comparatif et d’accentuation entre des variantes socioculturelles de l’humanité. Parfois accusée de reconduire les grands dualismes ethnocentriques propres à la socio-anthropologie classique (tradition/ modernité, communauté/ société, solidarité mécanique/ solidarité organique) qui ne verraient hors de l’Occident que des univers de conformisme, de tribalisme ou de despotisme (Lozerand 2014), l’étude de l’individualisme se présente pourtant, avant tout, comme « une archéologie de la conception occidentale de l’individu » (Flahault dans Lozerand 2014 : 547). En effet, selon Dumont, la conception moderne du monde se caractérise par une « idéologie individualiste », c’est-à-dire un ensemble de représentations et d’idées-valeurs qui s’articule autour de la figure prééminente de l’individu commeprincipe, à distinguer radicalement du « sujet empirique », échantillon indivisible de l’espèce humaine, parlant, pensant et agissant, tel qu’on le rencontre danstoutesles sociétés sous diverses formes. Figure centrale de l’idéal politique et éthique de l’Occident depuis les Lumières, l’individu (considéré comme antérieur à son existence sociale par les doctrines du droit naturel moderne) n’en reste pas moins pour la discipline anthropologique une « institution » (Mauss 1967 : 150), au sens où il doit nécessairement s’ancrer dans un monde social et culturel qui lui donne signification et consistance. En définissant la modernité comme individualiste là où « l’individu est érigé envaleursuprême », Dumont n’utilise pas le terme dans un sens péjoratif (égoïsme) ou laudatif (autonomie) mais, dans le sillage de Tocqueville, comme l’affirmationsocialed’une valeur. Ce sont les sociétés qui sont individualistes, et non d’abord les individus eux-mêmes. Dans sa prétention à fonder la société à partir d’une juxtaposition d’individus rationnels et originellement déliés, la configuration individualiste propre à la modernité néglige, ou tout du moins subordonne, le trait consubstantiel à toute existence sociale, trait défini comme « holisme » ou « aperception sociologique » : la « présence du social dans l’esprit de chaque homme », qui emporte comme corollaire que « la perception de nous-même comme individu n’est pas innée mais apprise, […]elle nous est prescrite, imposée par la société où nous vivons », laquelle « nous fait une obligation d’être libres » (Dumont 1966 : 21). Ainsi la prééminence de l’individu dans la société moderne appelle-t-elle un certain de nombre de valeurs corrélatives (dont l’égalité de droit, mais aussi la liberté morale ou encore la nation comme « société des individus »), tout en se combinant au sein de chaque culture particulière avec des éléments holistes locaux, ce qui donne une appréciation différenciée de la modernité (sous la figure notamment de variantes nationales). Ainsi que le rappelle Dumont, « l’individualisme est incapable de remplacer complètement le holisme et de régner sur toute la société... de plus, il n’a jamais été capable de fonctionner sans que le holisme contribue à sa vie de façon inaperçue et en quelque sorte clandestine » (Dumont 1991 : 21). C’est que la valeur individualiste, si elle est bien devenue essentielle dans nos sociétés par l’élévation des droits de l’Homme au statut de principe universel, ne peut effectivement s’incarner qu’au sein d’une société particulière, qui en traduit politiquement les attendus de façon toujours contingente et déterminée. L’analyse ne suppose donc pas unretourà des principes holistes, comme s’ils avaient disparu en même temps que les communautés traditionnelles et cohésives, mais plutôt une conscience plus lucide du rôle que jouent les principes holistes dans toute vie humaine pour autant qu’elle est toujours vie en société. L’idéologie de l’individu indépendant se heurte implicitement d’une part à la conservation nécessaire de « totalités partielles » comme lieux verticaux de transmission de la langue, de la culture et du sens (famille, école, associations, communautés), et d’autre part à la réintroduction de principes dits « collectifs » contre « l’utopie libérale », à doses variables selon les pays, comme l’État-providence, l’appartenance nationale, les systèmes d’assurance sociale, les diverses régulations du marché, les principes de solidarité et de redistribution, etc. Il convient également de ne pas confondre l’individualisme compris comme représentation sociale avec deux processus distincts portant sur la confection concrète de la personne et son potentiel de singularité, à savoir l’individuation et l’individualisation. Au XXesiècle, l’anthropologie s’est surtout intéressée auxformes d’individuationpropres aux diverses sociétés, ces pratiques de « constitution de la personne » par inclusion dans un ordre symbolique qui suppose des représentations partagées et des dispositifs rituels. Elle a pu ainsi constater l’extrême hétérogénéité des systèmes de pensée et d’agir visant à conférer une « identité » à l’être humain, preuve d’une large palette culturelle quant aux manières d’appréhender les relations de soi à soi, aux autres et au monde. Marcel Mauss a ainsi montré comment l’être humain ne pouvait apparaître qu’à la suite de multiples processus de subjectivation, ainsi que l’expriment les diverses « techniques du corps », l’expression des émotions ou l’intériorisation de l’idée de mort (Mauss 1950). Car toutes ces caractéristiquesa prioriéminemment « personnelles » varient en fait largement selon les contextes sociaux et culturels où elles prennent signification. La tradition anthropologique a énormément insisté sur la naturerelationnellede l’individuation, ouvrant sur la perception d’un Soi tissé de rapports avec l’environnement social et mythique (Leenhardt, 1947), jusque dans ses composantes mêmes, qu’elles soient matérielles (os, sang, chair, sperme, etc.) ou non (esprit ancestral, souffle, ombre, etc.) (Héritier 1977), parfois même au-delà des « humains » strictement définis (Descola 2005). De même, bon nombre d’auteurs ont souligné l’existence de divers processus historiques et culturels d’individualisationnon réductibles à la prééminence de l’individualisme comme valeur englobante. Le Bart (dans Lozerand 2014 : 89), après Foucault (1984) et Vernant (1989) distingue trois formes d’individualisation qui ne se recoupent jamais parfaitement : l’autonomie sociopolitique, l’existence d’une « vie privée » et le rapport réflexif à soi constituent autant de critères marquant un dépassement de la logique « holiste » d’individuation (définissant un nom, une place, un rôle, un statut) vers une « quête de soi » différenciée, invoquant comme idéal de vie une singularité, un salut ou un « épanouissement » posés théoriquement comme échappant aux injonctions normatives et symboliques de la société. S’articulant plus ou moins à l’individualisme comme valeur, cette visée d’authenticité désormais généralisée dans les sociétés occidentales en illustre également les limites, dès lors qu’en sont précisées les difficultés et les défaillances dans l’existence concrète des acteurs sociaux (déshumanisation du travail, conformisme consommatoire, maladies exprimant la « fatigue d’être soi » comme la dépression, influence des médias de masse et des réseaux sociaux, sentimentalisme et moralisme excessifs, solitude et vide affectif, etc.). Depuis une trentaine d’années et la mise en évidence d’une globalisation aux contours multiples se pose enfin la question de l’extension descriptive et normative de l’individualisme aux diverses cultures et civilisations du monde, que cela soit par le biais de catégories politiques (le citoyen rationnel), économiques (le marchand, le salarié et le consommateur propres au monde capitaliste), juridiques (le sujet de droit), morales (l’agent responsable) ou esthétiques (le dessein d’expressivité originale), etc. Si, selon Dumont, le christianisme et sa valorisation d’un « individu en relation directe avec Dieu » jouent un rôle primordial dans l’émergence de l’individualisme, ce sont bien les catégories humanistes et séculières qui, depuis la colonisation, légitiment les dynamiques d’extension actuelles, notamment du fait de la promotion par les instances internationales des droits humains comme fondement universel de justice sociale. L’anthropologie elle-même, dans un contexte de mise en relation généralisée des sociétés, s’évertue à saisir la place que des cultures différentes accordent à la valeur de « l’individu » (Morris 1994 ; Carrithers, Collins et Lukes 1985), que ce soit dans les grandes religions ou philosophies historiques (islam, judaïsme, bouddhisme, hindouisme, confucianisme, etc.) ou dans les communautés contemporaines, irréversiblement marquées par l’hégémonie occidentale et l’extension d’une économie mondialisée, mais également par des mouvements fondamentalistes ou « revivalistes » de repli identitaire. La valorisation du métissage et de l’hybridité impliquerait en ce sens de réinsérer « l’individu » dans les « paysages » culturels multiples et enchevêtrés qui établissent le lien entre global et local, entre contraintes systémiques et réappropriation communautaire (Appadurai 1996). Dans la dynamique contemporaine de globalisation, l’extension de l’individualisme comme valeur se retrouve dans une position paradoxale, d’une part liée à l’hégémonie d’un système-monde capitaliste et donc accusée de favoriser une « occidentalisation » fatale pour la diversité culturelle, d’autre part identifiée comme porteuse d’émancipation à l’égard de structures et normes contraignantes pour des acteurs (femmes, minorités ethniques, religieuses ou sexuelles, personnes handicapées) privés des droits élémentaires aux plans politique, juridique et socioéconomique.

Abstract:
Teesid: Artikkel esitab bio-bibliograafilise ülevaate luuletaja, esseisti, kirjandusteadlase, tõlkija ning õppejõu Jüri Talveti (s 1945) loomingulisest teest. Talveti kui erakordselt laiahaardelise loomingulise isiksuse panus hispaaniakeelse kirjandusruumi vahendamisel ja uurimisel Eestis on jätnud püsiva jälje. Tema viljeldava komparativismi keskmeks olev võrdlus ei piirdu üksnes võrreldavate objektidega, vaid viib põimumiste ja mõjutuste väljaselgitamisele ning uue sünteesini. Niisugune lähenemine võimaldab Talvetil esitada mitmeid eesti kirjanduskultuuri keskseid autoreid ja teoseid maailmakirjanduslikus kontekstis. Luuletajana esindab Talvet hingestatud intellektuaalsust, milles intertekstuaalsed osutused toimivad kultuuridevahelise sillana. The article presents a bio- and bibliographical overview of the creative work of Jüri Talvet (born in 1945) – a poet, essayist, literary scholar, translator and university professor. The creative scope of Talvet is exceptionally wide and his decades-long contribution to the mediation and exploration of the Spanish-speaking literary space in Estonia has left permanent traces. The comparative method cultivated by Talvet does not border merely on the literary texts considered but lead to the establishment of reciprocal impact and a new level of synthesis. Terms such as “symbiosis”, “symbiotic unity” and “synthesis” play an important role in Talvet’s contemplations of life, literature and culture; they are not only part of his epistemological ’toolkit’ but also represent a relation of value. In the semiotic approach such discourse may be viewed as the replacement of binary structure with a ternal one, a change elaborated already by Talvet’s most famous colleague Juri Lotman in 1992 when his intellectual testament Culture and Explosion was published: “Ternal structures retain certain values of the previous period by shifting them from the periphery into the centre.” For Talvet “the greatest literature of all times” has a symbiotic basis. Talvet’s approach to different literary cultures has enabled him to present several central authors of Estonian literary culture and their work in the context of world literature. One of the most outstanding results of such process is the re-discovery and re-conceptualization of the personality and the creative work of Juhan Liiv. Talvet’s method follows the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin and Juri Lotman, the essays of Michel de Montaigne’ and the 20th century existentialists Miguel de Unamuno, Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. Talvet’s “philological journey” is reflected best in his compilation and editing of the Spanish-Estonian Dictionary that was published in 1983. The other part of Talvet’s oeuvre is his mental and spiritual journey in which the philological undercurrent layer formed in Estonian, Spanish, Catalan and also in English performs as a threshold into literary cultures in the Estonian and other languages of the world. Everything based on it deserves deep respect: Talvet’s time as the lecturer and since 1992 the professor of world literature at the University of Tartu, his school of comparative literary research, founding of the Estonian Association of Comparative Literature together with international conferences and multi-language scholarly journal Interlitteraria; his essays carried by the ideas of enlightenment and spiritualism; his creative philosophical and poetic work, and his noteworthy research of Estonian literature highlighting the best creative works and their authors within the framework of world literature. From this aspect it is symptomatic that Talvet as a literary scholar completed his opus magnum in 2012, when the monograph on Juhan Liiv’s poetry was published. In the gallery of great Estonian learned men, poets and translators, the great predecessors of Talvet are Gustav Suits, Johannes Semper and Ants Oras. The intellectual affinity between Talvet and his friend Ivar Ivask is even more intense. “To understand “periphery” as a wider unit that is no less important from the intellectual aspect than the “centre”” – this is how Talvet summarises Ivask’s mission as a poet, an intellectual and the mediator of Estonian literature in the consciousness of the world (Talvet 2003: 524). This applies also to Talvet’s own spiritual and intellectual journey. In 2005, a collection of articles and essays of more than five hundred pages carries a poetic title The Irrefutable Border (Tõrjumatu äär), referring to the inevitability of crossing borders and multiple meanings of the proximity of the border. In Estonian poetry Talvet has positioned himself as a spiritually intellectual poet where intertextual manifestations act as an intercultural bridge. Yet the initial source of tension forming the basis of his imagery is still an individual’s emotionally experienced life. It corresponds to Talvet’s conception of genuine spirituality that “emerges from the depth of life [---] creates itself anew, does not let itself be “summarised” as complete or definite.”

Abstract:
Since its return in 2005 the science fiction series Doctor Who (BBC1) has featured many alien creatures which bear a striking similarity to non-human Earth species: the Judoon in “Smith and Jones” (2007) have heads like rhinoceroses; the nurses in “New Earth” (2006) are cats in wimples; the Tritovores in “Planet of the Dead” (2009) are giant flies in boilersuits. Yet only one non-human animal has appeared twice in the series, in unrelated stories: the pig. Furthermore, alien races such as the Judoon and the Tritovores simply happen to look like human species, and the series offers no narrative explanation as to why such similarities exist. When the pig has appeared, however, it has instead been as the consequence of experimentation and mutation, and in both cases the appearance of such porcine hybrids is signalled as horrific, unsettling and, in the end, to be pitied. The fact that the pig has appeared in this way twice suggests there is something about the human understanding of this animal which means it can fulfil a role in fiction unavailable to other Earth species. The pig’s appearance has been in two stories, both two-parters. In “Aliens of London”/“World War Three” (2005) a spaceship crashes into London’s Thames river, and the pilot inside, thought to be dead, is sent to be scientifically examined. Alone in the laboratory, the pathologist Doctor Sato is startled to find the creature is alive and, during its attempt to escape, it is shot by the military. When the creature is examined The Doctor reveals it is “an ordinary pig, from Earth.” He goes on to explain that, “someone’s taken a pig, opened up its brain, stuck bits on, then they’ve strapped it in that ship and made it dive-bomb. It must have been terrified. They’ve taken this animal and turned it into a joke.” The Doctor’s concern over the treatment of the pig mirrors his earlier reprimand of the military for shooting it; as he cradles the dying creature he shouts at the soldier responsible, “What did you do that for? It was scared! It was scared.” On the commentary track for the DVD release of this episode Julie Gardner (executive producer) and Will Cohen (visual effects producer) note how so many people told them they had a significant emotional reaction to this scene, with Gardner adding, “Bless the pig.” In that sense, what begins as a moment of horror in the series becomes one of empathy with a non-human being, and the pig moves from being a creature of terror to one whose death is seen to be an immoral act. This movement from horror to empathy can be seen in the pig’s other appearance, in “Daleks in Manhattan”/“Evolution of the Daleks” (2007). Here the alien Daleks experiment on humans in order to develop the ability to meld themselves with Earthlings, in order to repopulate their own dwindling numbers. Humans are captured and then tested; as Laszlo, one of the outcomes of the experimentation, explains, “They’re divided into two groups: high intelligence and low intelligence. The low intelligence are taken to becomes Pig Slaves, like me.” These Pig Slaves look and move like humans except for their faces, which have prolonged ears and the pig signifier of a snout. At no point in the story is it made clear why experimentations on low intelligence humans should result in them looking like pigs, and a non-hybrid pig is not seen throughout the story. The appearance of the experiments’ results is therefore not narratively explained, and it does not draw on the fact that “in digestive apparatus and nutrient requirements pigs resemble humans in more ways than any mammal except monkeys and apes, which is why pigs are much in demand for [human] medical research” (Harris 70); indeed, considering the story is set in the 1930s such a justification would be anachronistic. The use of the pig, therefore, draws solely on its cultural, not its scientific, associations. These associations are complex, and the pig has been used to connote many things in Western culture. Children’s books such as The Sheep-Pig (King-Smith) and Charlotte’s Web (White) suggest the close proximity of humans and pigs can result in an affinity capable of communication. The use of pigs to represent Poles in Maus: A Survivor’s Tale (Spiegelman), on the other hand, has been read as offensive, drawing on the animal’s association with dirt and greed (Weschler). These depictions are informed by debates about pigs in the real world, whereby an animal which, as mentioned above, is similar enough to humans to be useful in medical research can also, for the food industry, go through a slaughtering process described by Bob Torres as “horribly cruel” (47). Such cruelty can only be justified if the boundaries between the pig and the human are maintained, and this is why pig-human representations are capable of being shocking and horrific. The hybrid nature of the human-pig creature draws on the horror trope that Noël Carroll refers to as “fusion” which works because it “unites attributes held to be categorically distinct” such as “inside/outside, living/dead, insect/human, flesh/machine” (43). He explains that this is why characters in horror narratives do not find such creatures simply fearful, but also “repellent, loathsome, disgusting, repulsive and impure” (54); their failure to conform to accepted cultural categories destabilises assumed norms and, perhaps most horrifically, undermines ‘the human’ as a stable, natural and superior category. As Donna Haraway notes, “‘The species’ often means the human race, unless one is attuned to science fiction, where species abound” (18). Science fiction therefore commonly plays with ideas of species because it is often interested in “the image of the scientist ‘playing god’” (Jones 51) and the horrific outcomes of “the total severing of scientific concerns from ethical concerns” (53). That the result of human/non-human experimentation should be regarded as horrific is evidence of the need to maintain the distinctions between humans and other creatures; after all, a pig/human can only be thought of as horrific if it as assumed that there is something unnatural about the destabilisation of the human category. And it is precisely the human which matters in this equation; it is not really as if anyone cares about the pig’s categorical stability in all of this. In both these stories, the appearance of the pig-creature is narratively structured to be surprising and shocking, and is withheld from the audience for as long as possible. The first appearance of a Pig Slave in “Daleks in Manhattan” constitutes that episode’s pre-credits cliff-hanger, with the creature appearing out of the shadows and bearing down upon the camera, directly towards the audience viewing at home. At this point, the audience has no idea why such a creature exists; the meaning of the pig-human hybrid is contained purely in its visual appearance, with the horrific fact of its contradictory appearance perhaps drawing on the pig’s historical association with evil and the Devil (Sillar and Meyler 82). Similarly, in “Aliens of London” we see Sato’s shocked reaction to the pig far earlier than we actually see the creature ourselves, and Sato’s scream is clearly intended to construct what we have yet to encounter as horrific. The Doctor’s search for the creature is similarly signalled, as he roams dimly-lit corridors trying to find it, following the trail of the grunts and noises that it makes. That the pig might constitute a horrific—or at least unsettling—site for humans is unsurprising considering the cultural roles it has often played. There is, after all, an “opposition between civilization and piggishness” (Ashley, Hollows, Jones and Taylor 2) in which (incorrect) assumptions about pigs’ filthy behaviour helps mark out humanity’s cleaner and more civilised way of living. While this is true of all human/non-human interactions, it is argued that the pig occupies a particular role within this system as it is a “familiar beast” (4) because for centuries it has been a domesticated animal which has often lived alongside humans, usually in quite close proximity. In that sense, humans and pigs are very similar. Demarcating the human as a stable and natural “conceptual category ... in which we place all members of our own species and from which we exclude all non-members” (Milton 265-66) has therefore required the denigration of non-humans, at least partly to justify the dominion humans have decided they have the right to hold over other creatures such as pigs. The difficulties in maintaining this demarcation can be seen in the documentary The Private Life of Pigs (BBC2 2010) in which the farmer Jimmy Docherty carries out a number of tests on animals in order to better understand the ‘inner life’ of the pig. Docherty acknowledges the pig’s similarity to humans in his introductory piece to camera; “When you look in their piggy little eyes with their piggy little eyelashes you see something that reflects back to you—I don’t know—it makes you feel there’s a person looking back.” However, this is quickly followed by a statement which works to reassert the human/non-human boundary; “I know we have this close relationship [with pigs], but I’m often reminded that just beneath the surface of their skin, they’re a wild animal.” Perhaps the most telling revelation in the programme is that pigs have been found to make certain grunting noises only when humans are around, which suggests they have developed a language for ‘interacting’ with humans. That Docherty is uncomfortably startled by this piece of information shows how the idea of communication troubles ideas of human superiority, and places pigs within a sphere hitherto maintained as strictly human. Of course, humans often willingly share domestic spaces with other species, but these are usually categorised as pets. The pet exists “somewhere between the wild animal and the human” (Fudge 8), and we often invest them with a range of human characteristics and develop relationships with such animals which are similar, but not identical, to those we have with other humans. The pig, however, like other food animals, cannot occupy the role afforded to the pet because it is culturally unacceptable to eat pets. In order to legitimise the treatment of the pig as a “strictly utilitarian object; a thing for producing meat and bacon” (Serpell 7) it must be distinguished from the human realm as clearly as possible. It is worth noting, though, that this is a culturally-specific process; Dwyer and Minnegal, for example, show how in New Guinea “pigs commonly play a crucial role in ceremonial and spiritual life” (37-8), and the pig is therefore simultaneously a wild animal, a source of food, and a species with which humans have an “attachment” (45-54) akin to the idea of a pet. Western societies commonly (though not completely) have difficulty uniting this range of animal categories, and analogous ideas of “civilization” often rest on assumptions about animals which require them to play specific, non-human roles. That homo sapiens define their humanity in terms of civilization is demonstrated by the ways in which ideas of brutality, violence and savagery are displaced onto other species, often quite at odds with the truth of such species’ behaviour. The assumption that non-human species are violent, and constitute a threat, is shown in Doctor Who; the pig is shot in “Aliens of London” for assumed security reasons (despite it having done nothing to suggest it is a threat), while humans run in fear from the Pig Slaves in “Evolution of the Daleks” purely because of their non-human appearance. Mary Midgley refers to this as “the Beast Myth” (38) by which humans not only reduce other species to nothing other than “incarnations of wickedness, … sets of basic needs, … crude mechanical toys, … [and] idiot children” (38), but also lump all non-human species together thereby ignoring the specificity of any particular species. Midgley also argues that “man shows more savagery to his own kind than most other mammal species” (27, emphasis in original), citing the need for “law or morality to restrain violence” (26) as evidence of the social structures required to uphold a myth of human civilization. In that sense, the use of pigs in Doctor Who can be seen as conforming to centuries-old depictions of non-human species, by which the loss of humanity symbolised by other species can be seen as the ultimate punishment. After all, when the Daleks’ human helper, Mr Diagoras, fears that the aliens are going to experiment on him, he fearfully exclaims, “What do you mean? Like those pig-men things? You’re not going to turn me into one of those? Oh, God, please don’t!” In the next episode, when all the Pig Slaves are killed by the actions of the Doctor’s companion Martha, she regrets her actions, only to be told, “No. The Daleks killed them. Long ago”, for their mutation into a ‘pig-man thing’ is seen to be a more significant loss of humanity than death itself. The scene highlights how societies are often “confused about the status of such interspecies beings” (Savulescu 25). Such confusion is likely to recur considering we are moving into a “posthumanist” age defined by the “decentering of the human” (Wolfe xv), whereby critiques of traditional cultural categories, alongside scientific developments that question the biological certainty of the human, result in difficulties in defining precisely what it is that is supposedly so special about homo sapiens. This means that it is far too easy to write off these depictions in Doctor Who as merely drawing on, and upholding, those simplistic and naturalised human/non-human distinctions which have been criticised, in a manner similar to sexism and racism, as “speciesist” (Singer 148-62). There is, after all, consistent sympathy for the pig in these episodes. The shooting of the pig in “Aliens of London” is outrageous not merely because it gives evidence of the propensity of human violence: the death of the pig itself is presented as worth mourning, in a manner similar to the death of any living being. Throughout the series the Doctor is concerned over the loss of life for any species, always aiming to find a non-violent method for solving conflicts and repeatedly berating other characters who resort to bloodshed for solutions. Indeed, the story’s narrative can be read as one in which the audience is invited to reassess its own response to the pig’s initial appearance, shifting from fear at its alien-ness to sympathy for its demise. This complication of the cultural meanings of pigs is taken even further in the two-part Dalek story. One of the key plots of the story is the relationship between Laszlo, who has been transmuted into a Pig Slave, and his former lover Tallulah. Tallulah spends much of the story thinking Laszlo has disappeared, when he has, in fact, gone into hiding, certain that she will reject him because of his post-experimentation porcine features. When they finally reunite, Laszlo apologises for what has happened to him, while Tallulah asks, “Laszlo? My Laszlo? What have they done to you?” At the end of the story they decide to try re-establishing their relationship, despite Laszlo’s now-complicated genetic make-up. In response to this Martha asks the Doctor, “Do you reckon it’s going to work, those two?” The Doctor responds that while such an odd pairing might be problematic pretty much anywhere else, as they were in New York they might just get away with it. He reflects, “That’s what this city’s good at. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, and maybe the odd Pig Slave Dalek mutant hybrid too.” While there is an obvious playfulness to this scene, with the programme foregrounding the kinds of narrative available to the science fiction genre, it is also clear that we are invited to find this a good narrative conclusion, a suitable resolution to all that has preceded it. In that sense, the pig and the human come together, dissolving the human/non-human divide at a stroke, and this is offered to the audience as something to be pleased about. In both narratives, then, the pig moves from being understood as alien and threatening to something if not quite identical to human, then certainly akin to it. Certainly, the narratives suggest that the lives, loves and concerns of pigs—even if they have been experimented upon—matter, and can constitute significant emotional moments in primetime mainstream family television. This development is a result of the text’s movement from an interest in the appearance of the pig to its status as a living being. As noted above, the initial appearances of the pigs in both stories is intended to be frightening, but such terror is dependent on understanding non-human species by their appearance alone. What both of these stories manage to do is suggest that the pig—like all non-human living things, whether of Earth or not—is more than its physical appearance, and via acknowledgment of its own consciousness, and its own sense of identity, can become something with which humans are capable of having sympathy; perhaps more than that, that the pig is something with which humans should have sympathy, for to deny the interior life of such a species is to engage in an inhuman act in itself. This could be seen as an interesting—if admittedly marginal—corrective to the centuries of cultural and physical abuse the pig, like all animals, has suffered. Such representations can be seen as evoking “the dreaded comparison” (Spiegel) which aligns maltreatment of animals with slavery, a comparison that is dreaded by societies because to acknowledge such parallels makes justifying humans’ abusive treatment of other species very difficult. These two Doctor Who stories repeatedly make such comparisons, and assume that to morally and emotionally distinguish between living beings based on categories of species is nonsensical, immoral, and fails to acknowledge the significance and majesty of all forms of life. That we might, as Gardner suggests, “Bless the pig”—whether it has had its brain stuffed full of wires or been merged with a human—points towards complex notions of human/non-human interaction which might helpfully destabilise simplistic ideas of the superiority of the human race.
