Mobilizing the Vietnamese Body: Dance Theory, Critical Refugee Studies, and the Aftermaths of War in Andrew X. Pham’s Catfish and Mandala
Through analysis of Andrew X. Pham’s Catfish and Mandala: A Two-Wheeled Voyage through the Landscape and Memory of Vietnam, this collaboration between a literary scholar and dance scholar joins methodologies from their respective fields to explore the politicized dimensions of the Vietnamese body-in-motion. Published in 1999, Pham\u27s memoir documents his journey, as a Vietnamese refugee living in the U.S., as he travels throughout Vietnam on a bicycle. We argue that through the literal and theoretical mobilization of his body, Catfish and Mandala constitutes a choreographic text that animates the Vietnamese body as making meaning within and beyond post-Vietnam war geopolitical formations. As such the text productively critiques the dyad of resistance and accommodation that have long structured and haunted critical inquiries into power
Frames and operators in Schatten classes
Let be a compact operator on a separable Hilbert space . We show that,
for , belongs to the Schatten class if and only if
for \emph{every} frame in ; and for
, belongs to if and only if for
\emph{some} frame in . Similar conditions are also obtained in
terms of the sequence and the double-indexed sequence

The Pion Structure Function in a Constituent Model
Using the recent relatively precise experimental results on the pion
structure function, obtained from Drell--Yan processes, we quantitatively test
an old model where the structure function of any hadron is determined by that
of its constituent quarks. In this model the pion structure function can be
predicted from the known nucleon structure function. We find that the data
support the model, at least as a good first approximation.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
