Cities in fiction: Perambulations with John Berger

This paper explores selected novels by John Berger in which cities play a central role. These cities are places, partially real and partially imagined, where memory, hope, and despair intersect. My reading of the novels enables me to trace important themes in recent discourses on the nature of contemporary capitalism, including notions of resistance and universality. I also show how Berger?s work points to a writing that can break free from the curious capacity of capitalism to absorb and feed of its critique

Two New Mites (Acarina: Laelapinae) from Oriental Insectivores (Mammalia: Insectivora)

The two species described are closely allied parasites of shrews (Anourosorex squamipes and Soriculus fumidus) from Taiwan, and of a mole (Urotrichus talpoides) from Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu). The similarity of these two species indicates a common geographic origin of the hosts, and suggests that there are probably allied species of these mites on the Chinese mainland. These two species of Haemolaelaps appear most closely related to the ulysses group, three species from Australian marsupials
