Light, energy, and gendered oil gluttony: Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel’s challenges to petrocapitalism

Extraction companies and the political regime that they deal with in Equatorial Guinea rely on genderwashing narratives to justify their actions. Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel, via an aesthetic of gendered oil gluttony, disrupts genderwashing narratives by laying plain how exploitation of women is linked to petrocapitalism. But Ávila Laurel's challenges to petrocapitalism go beyond the content of his writing. Style and form borrowed from oral tradition reinforce the disruptive power of Ávila Laurel's work, as does its strategic distribution in particular countries of the Global North

The Redemptive Act of Reading: Richard Crashaw & the Teresean Liturgy

The essay entitled “The Redemptive Act of Reading: Richard Crashaw and the Teresean liturgy” written by Alexandra Finn-Atkins is centered on Richard Crashaw’s trilogy of poems dedicated to the sixteenth century Saint Teresa of Ávila. The trilogy consists of “The Hymne,” “An Apologie” and “The Flaming Heart” and makes a subtle comparison between the act of reading Saint Teresa of Ávila and the Christian liturgy. The essay innovatively analyzes the ‘Teresean liturgy’ established by Crashaw through the external and internal liturgical elements of the Christian liturgy that are used to describe Crashaw’s personal experience reading the religious writings of Saint Teresa. The presence of liturgical elements unites the personal aspect of devotional reading with the public aspect of the liturgy. The external liturgical elements include the tabernacle, the use of incense, the Eucharist and the Litany of the Book of Common Prayer, while the internal ones exemplify the glorification of God and the mystery of Redemption in Christ. In general, the subtle comparison between reading and the Christian liturgy allows Crashaw to exalt the trans formative power found in reading Saint Teresa and advocate for an unconventional type of reading – one that turns away from the mind and towards the heart

¿Fue erasmista san Juan de Ávila?

En el presente artículo se estudia la influencia que pudo tener la obra de Erasmo de Rotterdam en el pensamiento y en la literatura de Juan de Ávila. En una época de grandes ansias reformadoras dentro de la Iglesia, las obras literarias piadosas que mostraban avances respecto a las doctrinas tradicionales podían levantar sospechas de alumbrismo, luteranismo o eramismo. Juan de Ávila conoció la obra de Erasmo y la utilizó en sus escritos, pero después de su experiencia con la Inquisición, puso mucho cuidado en advertir a sus lectores y seguidores sobre los peligros de algunas ideas de corte luterano o alumbrado. Juan de Ávila fue en sus escritos y en sus obras un revolucionario, pero un santo revolucionario

Programa "Turismo Comunitario en la Comuna de Avila Viejo Subcentro Calmituyacu"

Ávila Viejo Subcentro Calmituyacu is a Kichwa community, located in Ávila´s Huiruno parrish, which is part of the Loreto district in Francisco de Orellana´s Province. This region is inhabited by Kichwa descendants. The community is about 14 kilometers from the Suno River. Ávila has a strategic position, because it is close to the Sumaco National Park. This site is between 600 and 2000 meters above sea level with temperatures that vary from 16ºC to 24ºC, and rainfall between 2000 and 6000 mm a year. Its vegetation is mainly represented by a humid forest and varied, attractive landscapes. Diverse fauna species can be found in the area.La comuna Kichwa Ávila Viejo Subcentro Calmituyacu, está localizada en la provincia de Fco de Orellana, cantón Loreto, pertenece a la parroquia de Ávila Huiruno, descendiente de la nacionalidad kichwa. Para acceder a la misma tenemos que recorrer 14 kilómetros en carro por carretera de segundo orden, orillando el río Suno, hacia arriba. Conlindan con el parque Nacional Sumaco, goza de un exuberante paisaje natural y riqueza cultural. Natural porque pertenece al bosque muy húmedo y pluvial premontano, ubicado entre los 600 y 2000 msnm; con temperaturas entre 16, 18 y 24ºC y precipitaciones que varían entre 2000 a 6000mm, por tal su vegetación representada por bosques muy densos y hermosas vistas panorámicas son únicas, de la misma manera la fauna silvestre del sector es muy diversa

Elastic scattering in geometrical model

The experimental data on proton–proton elastic and inelastic scattering emerging from the measurements at the Large Hadron Collider, calls for an efficient model to fit the data. We have examined the optical, geometrical picture and we have found the simplest, linear dependence of this model parameters on the logarithm of the interaction energy with the significant change of the respective slopes at one point corresponding to the energy of about 300 GeV. The logarithmic dependence observed at high energies allows one to extrapolate the proton–proton elastic, total (and inelastic) cross sections to ultra high energies seen in cosmic rays events which makes a solid justification of the extrapolation to very high energy domain of cosmic rays and could help us to interpret the data from an astrophysical and a high energy physics point of view.Funded by SCOAP

Extrema bounds for the soft Pomeron intercept

By using an extended Regge parametrization and taking into account the discrepancies in the high-energy pp and p(bar)p total cross section data, in both accelerator and cosmic-ray regions, we estimate extrema bounds for the soft Pomeron intercept. First we consider two ensembles of data with either the CDF or the E710 and E811 results for the p(bar)p total cross section at 1.8 TeV, from which we obtain the bounds 1.102 and 1.081, respectively. These ensembles are then combined with the highest and lowest estimations for the pp total cross section from cosmic-ray experiments (6-40 TeV), leading to the upper and lower bounds 1.109 and 1.082, respectively. The effects of simultaneous fits to total cross sections and the rho parameter, individual fits to total cross sections, and the influence of the subtraction constant in the dispersion relations are also presented. Our global results favor the E710 and E811 data.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, aps-revtex, to be published in Physics Letters

Critical analysis of derivative dispersion relations at high energies

We discuss some formal and fundamental aspects related with the replacement of integral dispersion relations by derivative forms, and their practical uses in high energy elastic hadron scattering, in particular $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ scattering. Starting with integral relations with one subtraction and considering parametrizations for the total cross sections belonging to the class of entire functions in the logarithm of the energy, a series of results is deduced and our main conclusions are the following: (1) except for the subtraction constant, the derivative forms do not depend on any additional free parameter; (2) the only approximation in going from integral to derivative relations (at high energies) concerns to assume as zero the lower limit in the integral form; (3) the previous approximation and the subtraction constant affect the fit results at both low and high energies and therefore, the subtraction constant can not be disregarded; (4) from a practical point of view, for single-pole Pomeron and secondary reggeons parametrizations and center-of-mass energies above 5 GeV, the derivative relations with the subtraction constant as a free fit parameter are completely equivalent to the integral forms with finite (non-zero) lower limit. A detailed review on the conditions of validity and assumptions related with the replacement of integral by derivative relations is also presented and discussed.Comment: Revised version, 30 pages, 16 eps-figures, elsart.cls (included), to appear in Nucl Phys.
