Tourists Of The Past: Topographies Of Memory In W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz, Ana Menéndez's Loving Che, And Teju Cole's Open City, Benjamin Lee Williams Jan 2019

Tourists Of The Past: Topographies Of Memory In W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz, Ana Menéndez's Loving Che, And Teju Cole's Open City, Benjamin Lee Williams

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Examining, comparatively, the exemplary fictional texts of W. G. Sebald, Ana Menéndez, and Teju Cole enriches the study of exilic experience concerning cultural memory as their destabilization, while geographically and ethnically divergent, represents the constellations of mobility and potential for memory. As absences resonate and profoundly disrupt their works, there is a turn to histories to cope with traumas. By turning to the past, each writer confronts destabilization and uprootedness and, in doing so, plays a game with History. Readers play too as we search through the fictionalized lacunae to consider the extent to which we are complicit in the …

AbstractVanadium mining activities can cause contamination of the surrounding geological environment. Vanadium may exist in multiple matrices due to its migration and transformation, forming interactive relationships; however, the connection between vanadium distributions in multiple matrices and microbial community responses remains largely unknown. Vanadium is a redox‐sensitive metal that can be microbiologically reduced and immobilized. To date, bioremediation of vanadium‐contaminated environments by indigenous microorganisms has rarely been evaluated. This paper reports a systematic investigation into vanadium distributions and microbial communities in soils, water, and sediment from Panzhihua, China. Large vanadium contents of 1130.1 ± 9.8 mg/kg and 0.13 ± 0.02 mg/L …

Harnessing The Gatekeepers Of Glucocorticoids For Chemoprevention Of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer, Anna M. Mancha-Ramirez, Xiaoyu Yang, Huiyun Liang, Jacob Junco, Kevin P. Lee, Sarah F. Bovio, Maricruz Espinoza, Julia Wool, Dae Joon Kim Jan 2019

Despite effective surgical methods for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), patients suffer from tissue damage, scarring, or even disfigurement; thus, there is a need for chemopreventive approaches. Because of the complex interplay between glucocorticoids (GCs), inflammation, and cancer, we sought to determine the role of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (11βHSD1 and 2) in regulating GCs during skin cancer development and progression. 11βHSDs modulate the activation of GCs in a tissue-specific manner and have been reported to play a role in development and progression of other types of cancer, but their role has not yet been reported in NMSC. Here, we …

Colegio Adventista Túpac Amaru (CATA) is playing a leading role in the efforts to extendthe transformational impact of Seventh-day Adventist education. Located in Puno’s economichub of Juliaca–about 70 km northwest of Plateria–CATA is following in the footsteps ofthe pioneers. By God’s grace, CATA is working for personal and social transformation in thisbooming, modern city. Ellen G. White writes that “the true object of education is to restore theimage of God in the soul” (Patriarchs & Prophets, p. 595). The proposed plans and designs inthis document are intended to support this purpose. They are inspired by the principles andlessons of the …
