Skin and sovereignty in Guillaume de Palerne
Guillaume de Palerne uses skin to interrogate animal-human difference and to demonstrate the affinity between the animal and the sovereign. The romance links human hand and animal foot, sovereign protection and exile, and animal gestures and sovereign speech, in order to uncover not just the sovereign in the skin of an animal, but also the sovereign in the beast.Guillaume de Palerne se sert de la peau pour interroger la diffĂ©rence entre lâanimal et lâĂȘtre humain, et pour dĂ©montrer lâaffinitĂ© entre lâanimal et le souverain. Le roman met en rapport la main humaine et le pied animal, la protection souveraine et lâexil, le geste animal et la parole du souverain pour rĂ©vĂ©ler non seulement le souverain sous la peau dâun animal, mais aussi le souverain dans la bĂȘte
Maternity and Chivalry after Chrétien
In Le Conte du graal ChrĂ©tien de Troyes famously introduces a tension between a motherâs desire to keep her son from chivalry and the sonâs desire to be a knight. Percevalâs motherâs effort to hide all knowledge of knights and their pursuits from her son is an attempt to keep him from a chivalric destiny scripted by his fatherâs lineage and her own. This motherâs effort to protect her son from the fate of his father and brothers is thwarted when Perceval encounters knights passing through his..

Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders
Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci. However, the nature and mechanisms of these pleiotropic effects remain unclear. We performed analyses of 232,964 cases and 494,162 controls from genome-wide studies of anorexia nervosa, attention-deficit/hyper-activity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and Tourette syndrome. Genetic correlation analyses revealed a meaningful structure within the eight disorders, identifying three groups of inter-related disorders. Meta-analysis across these eight disorders detected 109 loci associated with at least two psychiatric disorders, including 23 loci with pleiotropic effects on four or more disorders and 11 loci with antagonistic effects on multiple disorders. The pleiotropic loci are located within genes that show heightened expression in the brain throughout the lifespan, beginning prenatally in the second trimester, and play prominent roles in neurodevelopmental processes. These findings have important implications for psychiatric nosology, drug development, and risk prediction.Peer reviewe
