Your turn: experiments in narrative and play

Carson and Miller’s artists’ book, 'The Exquisite Fold', utilises the book as a site for play and storytelling. Both acts are interpretative; they are ways through which both child and adult attempt to understand the world that surrounds them. In 'Your Turn' the process of making 'The Exquisite Fold' is explored in terms of both its content and its very particular physical construction. Through this examination the ideas that underpin the book are drawn out; the potential for the book to be played with (particularly as a place to play with narrative) and, in turn, the impulse to uncover meaning through narrative and play

Relating the Story of Things

This essay will explore the interplay and connections between relating and narrating, and the possibilities of producing alternative narratives, independent from hierarchical structures located in linearity, causality and genealogy, by exploring what Gilles Deleuze termed ‘involution,’ as an alternative device of relating. This essay will explore and exemplify this, by focusing on artistic and curatorial strategies of the artist/curators Carson & Miller in the exhibition </span></span><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The Story of Things</span></span></em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;">. This exhibition’s re-organisation of anthropological and ethnographic objects challenges the conventional and traditional representation of such objects in linear and genealogical ways. Curatorial and artistic strategies of display, such as unconventional juxtapositions, slight shifts of the constituent parts of objects, and incongruous combinations of them will be examined. The essay will argue that such strategies are effective in establishing new modes of narrative organisation and new products of combination and juxtaposition. </span></span></p><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><font size="3"><p>Résumé:</p></font></strong></span><p> </p></strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;">L'art et la pratique de lier sont des données capitales dans le développement de n'importe quel récit. Dans cette étude, on voudrait examiner les rapports et le dialogue entre ces deux aspects (récit et mise en relation), puis s'interroger sur les manières possibles de produire des formes de récit non classiques, indépendantes des structures hiérarchiques fixées par les notions de linéarité, causalité et généalogie mais informées par la notion deleuzienne d</span></span><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;">'involution </span></span></em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;">comme technique non canonique de mise en rapport.

La manière dont cette exposition réorganise les objets anthropologiques et ethnographiques est un défi aux techniques conventionnelles et traditionnelles de représentation linéaire et généalogique de ce genre d'objets. Les choix artistiques et organisationnels qui ont été faits pour exposer les objets, comme par exemple les juxtapositions non stéréotypées, l'accentuation de certaines parties de l'objet plutôt que d'autres et les combinaisons apparemment incongrues, seront au coeur de l'analyse. L'article se propose de démonter que ces stratégies peuvent contribuer efficacement à la création de nouvelles formes d'organisation narrative et de nouveaux modes de combinaison et de juxtaposition d'objets.</span></span&gt

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies discovers multiple loci for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a common lymphoid malignancy with strong heritability. To further understand the genetic susceptibility for CLL and identify common loci associated with risk, we conducted a meta-analysis of four genome-wide association studies (GWAS) composed of 3,100 cases and 7,667 controls with follow-up replication in 1,958 cases and 5,530 controls. Here we report three new loci at 3p24.1 (rs9880772, EOMES, P=2.55 × 10(-11)), 6p25.2 (rs73718779, SERPINB6, P=1.97 × 10(-8)) and 3q28 (rs9815073, LPP, P=3.62 × 10(-8)), as well as a new independent SNP at the known 2q13 locus (rs9308731, BCL2L11, P=1.00 × 10(-11)) in the combined analysis. We find suggestive evidence (P<5 × 10(-7)) for two additional new loci at 4q24 (rs10028805, BANK1, P=7.19 × 10(-8)) and 3p22.2 (rs1274963, CSRNP1, P=2.12 × 10(-7)). Pathway analyses of new and known CLL loci consistently show a strong role for apoptosis, providing further evidence for the importance of this biological pathway in CLL susceptibility
