prologue, intro and afterword of book Publication date: October 20, 2016 Abstract: Restrictive border protection policies directed toward managing the flow of refugees coming into neoliberal democracies (and out of failing nation-states)... more
Enacting and Re-inventing Identities is based on the surprising underrepresentation of non-Western artists on the international art scene. This situation can be partially founded in a tendency for Western contemporary art being associated... more
The carcharodontosaurid theropod Mapusaurus roseae (Cenomanian of Neuque´n Province, Argentina) is represented by at least seven disarticulated individuals from a monospecific bonebed, all of different sizes and presumably different... more
New elasmosaurid plesiosaur specimens are described from the Early Maastrichtian of Angola. Phylogenetic analyses reconstruct the Angolan taxon as an aristonectine elasmosaurid and the sister taxon of an unnamed form of similar age from... more
The first Atelocerata were machilid-like insects descended from Palaeocar-idacea (Malacostraca Syncarida) via neoteny, homeosis and gamoheterotopy. In these littoral hoppers, the five posterior segments of the malacostracan thorax were... more
Heterochrony has been an influential perspective on the evolution of morphologies, a circumstance mostly due to a strategic shift of the theory to the analysis of growth and measurable traits. A difficulty in testing hypotheses of... more
This essay examines the disruption of linear time in experimental forms of “history painting” as represented by Dierk Schmidt’s SIEV-X—On a Case of Intensified Refugee Politics (2001-2005). It analyses how the aesthetics of... more
Specialized morphologies of bird feet have evolved several times independently as different groups have become zygodactyl, semi-zygodactyl, heterodactyl, pamprodactyl or syndactyl. Birds have also convergently evolved similar modes of... more
Facial length is one of the best known examples of heterochrony. Changes in the timing of facial growth have been invoked as a mechanism for the origin of our short human face from our long-faced extinct relatives. Such heterochronic... more
In the article the author reflects on the meaning of politics in a new-materialist framework, she especially concentrates on two political dimentions – space and time. With reference to that the author develops the concept of politics of... more
The present communication comes to show an artistic project based on reconfiguring, by crossing, two types of codes, one of mass consumption such as the comic, and another of the specialized and face-to-face reception such as painting.... more
The viviparous cockroach, Diploptera punctata, has been a valuable model organism for studies of the regulation of reproduction by juvenile hormone (JH) in insects. As a result of its truly viviparous mode of reproduction, precise... more
In this paper, genomic research will be presented, indicating that a grand pattern of heterochrony (time lag) is expressed in the phylogeny of animals, even on the level of molecular biology. The sequential development of head > trunk >... more
Congenital morphological differences between injured and intact individuals in a population may reflect adaptations to avoid injury, to survive injury, or both. We explore the possible occurrence of such adaptations, analysing the... more
In his paper “The Return to Philology,” Paul de Man insists that philology and theory should not be in conflict, but should, rather, mutually enhance one another. This claim that the turn to theory is also a return to philology is... more
The present study examines HNK-1 immunoidentification of a population of the neural crest (NC) during early head morphogenesis in the nonmodel vertebrate, the crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) embryos. Although HNK-1 is not an exclusive NC... more
SUMMARY Ossification sequences of the skull in extant Urodela and in Permo-Carboniferous Branchiosauridae have already been used to study the origin of lissamphibians. But most of these studies did not consider some recent methods... more
– Recent genomic research indicates a development from head to foot – Is evolution (similar to) an organic growth process? The Dutch biologist, Louis Bolk, promoted this idea in the 1920ies. Recent genomic research now demonstrates that... more
