All order I.R. finite expansion for short distance behavior of massless theories perturbed by a relevant operator
We consider here renormalizable theories without relevant couplings and
present an I.R. consistent technique to study corrections to short distance
behavior (Wilson O.P.E. coefficients) due to a relevant perturbation. Our
method is the result of a complete reformulation of recent works on the field,
and is characterized by a more orthodox treatment of U.V. divergences that
allows for simpler formulae and consequently an explicit all order
(regularization invariant) I.R. finitess proof. Underlying hypotheses are
discussed in detail and found to be satisfied in conformal theories that
constitute a natural field of application of this approach.Comment: 27 page
Comics, graphic narratives, and lesbian lives
Lesbian comics and graphic narratives have gained unprecedented cultural
presence in the twenty-first century. Yet despite the surge in interest in the work of artists such as Alison Bechdel, and despite the existence of a substantial online archive about lesbian comics created by artists, readers, and collectors, relatively little critical attention has been directed to this work. The chapter begins to fill this gap. Taking the Bechdelâs work as its start-and-end point, it provides an overview of major developments in lesbian comics and contextualises them including in relation to the gendered conditions of possibility that define comics culture
The Emerging World Order
It is common ground amongst almost all commentators that the world has changed radically
over the past 25 years â the 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall heralded the ending of the Cold
War, the reunification of a tragically divided Europe, and the acceleration of the process of
globalisation which has its only comparable period in the decades leading up to the First World War
in 1914. When analyzing the Emerging World Order it is important to cover more than Brazil
economy or any other individual BRICs or other Emerging Powers. Instead, our analysis will provide
a global view about the economic and political global power structures which are evolving and
forming before our eyes, and then to talk about the challenges these emerging realities pose for us in
Europe, and in the West in general
« Mirror-images: images of mirrors... in Poems by Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich, Denise Levertov and H.D. »
Looking into her mirror, the heroine of Lehmann's Invitation to the Waltz experiences the division between Las-subject and she-as-object. By contrast, the heroine of H.D.'s Her, reflected in the gaze of her female lover, experiences herself as both subject and objet and this reciprocity is articulated in word-play on the object pronoun of the feminine gender.
A number of modern poems by American women embody the sense of being 'other in oneself in images of mirroring. The poetic text is itself the site of images, reflections and transformations, where silence becomes speech, identity can be transposed or affirmed, the invisible made visible. These poems evoke the idea of the mirror as a threshold between the seen and the unseen, a meeting-place between the speaking subject and its shadow selves. Their mirror-images may take the form of looking-glass, pool, portrait or head-bearing shield.Se mirant dans son miroir, l'héroïne du roman de Lehmann L'invitation à la valse fait l'expérience de la division du moi en tant que sujet et du elle en tant qu'objet. A l'inverse, l'héroïne du poÚme Her de H.D., réfléchie dans le regard de son amante, se voit à la fois sujet et objet et cette réciprocité s'articule en jouant sur le pronom objet féminin.
Nombre de poĂ©tesses modernes font leur la formule de Luce Irigaray '« Elle » est indĂ©finiment autre en elle-mĂȘme', offrant un texte poĂ©tique miroir d'images, de reflets, de transformations, oĂč le silence se fait language, l'identitĂ© se forme et se dĂ©forme, l'invisible devient visible.Collecott Diana. « Mirror-images: images of mirrors... in Poems by Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich, Denise Levertov and H.D. ».
