Bodies in Conflict: From Gettysburg to Iraq
The exhibition Bodies in Conflict: From Gettysburg to Iraq not only conveys an ambitious geographic and historical range, but also reflects the sensitivity, ambition, and thoughtfulness of its curator, Laura Bergin ’17. In examining how the human figure is represented in prints and photographs of modern war and political conflict, Laura considers how journalistic photographs, artistic interpretations, and other visual documentation of conflict and its aftermath compare between wars and across historical periods. Specific objects include a print and photographs from the Civil War, propaganda posters from World Wars I and II, photographs and a protest poster from the Vietnam War, and a large-scale photograph of a reconstructed journalistic image of Saddam Hussein’s palace by Iraqi-born contemporary artist Wafaa Bilal. Taken together, the works in the exhibition make a profound political and humanitarian statement about suffering, heroism, death, compassion, and appeals to nationalism throughout wars over the last 150 years.

Strange quark matter fragmentation in astrophysical events
The conjecture of Bodmer-Witten-Terazawa suggesting a form of quark matter
(Strange Quark Matter) as the ground state of hadronic interactions has been
studied in laboratory and astrophysical contexts by a large number of authors.
If strange stars exist, some violent events involving these compact objects,
such as mergers and even their formation process, might eject some strange
matter into the interstellar medium that could be detected as a trace signal in
the cosmic ray flux. To evaluate this possibility, it is necessary to
understand how this matter in bulk would fragment in the form of strangelets
(small lumps of strange quark matter in which finite effects become important).
We calculate the mass distribution outcome using the statistical
multifragmentation model and point out several caveats affecting it. In
particular, the possibility that strangelets fragmentation will render a tiny
fraction of contamination in the cosmic ray flux is discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
