Laying Bare: Agamben, Chandler, and The Responsibility to Protect
This paper demonstrates the hidden similarities between Raymond Chandler’s prototypical
noir The Big Sleep, and the United Nations Responsibility to Protect (R2P) document. By taking
up the work of philosopher Giorgio Agamben, this paper shows that the bare life produces the
form of protection embodied by Philip Marlowe in Chandler’s novel and by the United Nations
Security Council in R2P. Agamben’s theorizing of the extra-legal status of the sovereign
pertains to both texts, in which the protector exists outside of the law. Philip Marlowe, tasked
with preventing the distribution of pornographic images, commits breaking-and-entering,
withholding evidence, and murder. Analogously, R2P advocates for the Security Council’s
ability to trespass laws that safeguard national sovereignty in order to prevent “bare”
atrocities against human life. As Agamben demonstrates, the extra-legal position of the
protector is made possible by “stripping bare” human life. This paper also gestures towards
limitations of Agamben’s thought by indicating, through a comparison of these two texts, that
bare life produces states of exception as the object of protection rather than punishment

Identification and characterization of the bZIP transcription factor family and its expression in response to abiotic stresses in sesame
<div><p>Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) gene family is one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, and members of this family play important roles in multiple biological processes such as light signaling, seed maturation, flower development as well as abiotic and biotic stress responses. Nonetheless, genome-wide comprehensive analysis of the bZIP family is lacking in the important oil crop sesame. In the present study, 63 <i>bZIP</i> genes distributed on 14 linkage groups were identified in sesame, and denominated as <i>SibZIP01</i>-<i>SibZIP63</i>. Besides, all members of SibZIP family were divided into nine groups based on the phylogenetic relationship of <i>Arabidopsis</i> bZIPs, which was further supported by the analysis of their conserved motifs and gene structures. Promoter analysis showed that all <i>SibZIP</i> genes harbor <i>cis</i>-elements related to stress responsiveness in their promoter regions. Expression analyses of <i>SibZIP</i> genes based on transcriptome data showed that these genes have different expression patterns in different tissues. Additionally, we showed that a majority of <i>SibZIPs</i> (85.71%) exhibited significant transcriptional changes in responses to abiotic stresses, including drought, waterlogging, osmotic, salt, and cold, suggesting that <i>SibZIPs</i> may play a cardinal role in the regulation of stress responses in sesame. Together, these results provide new insights into stress-responsive <i>SibZIP</i> genes and pave the way for future studies of <i>SibZIPs</i>-mediated abiotic stress response in sesame.</p></div
Expression profiles of <i>SibZIP</i> genes under waterlogging stress.
<p>The heatmap was created by MultiExperiment Viewer based on the log2-transformed values of the relative expression levels of the <i>SibZIP</i> genes under waterlogging stress in waterlogging-tolerant cultivar (WT, Zhongzhi No.13) and waterlogging-sensitive cultivar (WS, ZZM0563). Changes in gene expression are shown in color as the scale.</p
