Ask the Beasts of the Southern Wild: Exploring Human Identity as Beast, Being and Beholder in Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love and Beasts of the Southern Wild

Anthropocentrism and hierarchical dualism together encourage a dangerous anthropology where human primacy among creation and the prioritization of certain humans leads to destruction for all. During a time when suffering caused by climate change continues to intensify, it is increasingly important to find compelling ways to share the stories of those who suffer most. I will explore how Beasts of the Southern Wild (Zeitlin, 2012) contextualizes the ecofeminist theology found in Johnson’s Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love (2014), specifically the idea of humans identifying as beasts, beings and beholders. Furthermore, I will discuss how the representation of reality in the film is meaningful to viewers because it sacramentalizes the human experience from which Johnson’s theology is born. Through the eyes of Hushpuppy, Beasts of the Southern Wild’s young, female protagonist, viewers realize just how interconnected is the plight of the planet, the poor and all who lack places of privilege

DC-assisted microwave quenching of YBa2Cu3O7-{\delta} coplanar waveguide to a highly dissipative state

The paper reports on finding the effect of a strong change in the microwave losses in an HTS-based coplanar waveguide (CPW) at certain values of the input power Pin and direct current Idc. CPW on the basis of 150 nm thick YBa2Cu3O7-{\delta} epitaxial film on a single crystal MgO substrate was studied experimentally. A sharp and reversible transition of the CPW into a strongly dissipative state at the certain meanings of Pin and Idc depending on temperature was observed. Apparently the effect can be explained by self-heating of HTS structure caused by magnetic flux flow under the joint influence of MW and DC.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, 17 reference

HM 16: Three Splendid Little Wars - The Diary of Joseph K. Taussig, 1898-1901

The Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection, and the Boxer Rebellion occurred over a hundred years ago. Scholars have produced a spate of books treating the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection, and the Boxer Rebellion. Personal accounts of service in the Spanish-American War have been published as well, yet fewer for the latter two conflicts. The unpublished diaries of Joseph K. Taussig, who participated in all of these conflicts, are therefore a uniquely valuable personal account of his wartime experiences.https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/usnwc-historical-monographs/1015/thumbnail.jp
