Liberalization and Democratization: The Forum and the Hearth in the Era of Cosmopolitan Post-Industrial Capitalism
Rather than the desire for economic liberalization bringing about political democratization, the struggles against autocracy have created an opening for economic liberalization. While undermining partriarchy and hierarchy, anti-authoritarian movements have also paved the way for post-industrial capitalism, with its emphasis on information management, flexible working conditions, and a global outlook

On Becoming Human in Lingít Aaní: Encountering Levinas through Indigenous Inspirations
Calls for taking up wisdom in its place risk re-inscribing coloniality at the level of signification if attempts to resituate intelligibility in the specificity of place are not enacted through a careful translation of experience between victims and perpetrators of colonial violence. At some level, decolonization ought to be conceived as a kind of translation. Emmanuel Levinas' project to "translate" Judaism into Greek is one way of staging such decolonial translation by providing us an internal critique of coloniality while remaining receptive to indigenous inspirations that enrich eco-phenomenological ways of encountering place. In the final instance, however, this paper calls for encountering place through the indigenous languages that make place ethically legible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]Ye
A lower bound on the critical parameter of interlacement percolation in high dimension
We investigate the percolative properties of the vacant set left by random
interlacements on Z^d, when d is large. A non-negative parameter u controls the
density of random interlacements on Z^d. It is known from arXiv:0704.2560, and
arXiv:0808.3344, that there is a non-degenerate critical value u_*, such that
the vacant set at level u percolates when u < u_*, and does not percolate when
u > u_*. Little is known about u_*, however for large d, random interlacements
on Z^d, ought to exhibit similarities to random interlacements on a
(2d)-regular tree, for which the corresponding critical parameter can be
explicitly computed, see arXiv:0907.0316. We prove in this article a lower
bound on u_*, which is equivalent to log(d) as d goes to infinity. This lower
bound is in agreement with the above mentioned heuristics.Comment: 31 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in Probability Theory
