(Table 2) Radiocarbon dates from lakes on Fildes Peninsula, King George Island

Precise relative sea level (RSL) data are important for inferring regional ice sheet histories, as well as helping to validate numerical models of ice sheet evolution and glacial isostatic adjustment. Here we develop a new RSL curve for Fildes Peninsula, South Shetland Islands (SSIs), a sub-Antarctic archipelago peripheral to the northern Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet, by integrating sedimentary evidence from isolation basins with geomorphological evidence from raised beaches. This combined approach yields not only a Holocene RSL curve, but also the spatial pattern of how RSL change varied across the archipelago. The curve shows a mid-Holocene RSL highstand on Fildes Peninsula at 15.5 m above mean sea level between 8000 and 7000 cal a BP. Subsequently RSL gradually fell as a consequence of isostatic uplift in response to regional deglaciation. We propose that isostatic uplift occurred at a non-steady rate, with a temporary pause in ice retreat ca. 7200 cal a BP, leading to a short-lived RSL rise of ~1 m and forming a second peak to the mid-Holocene highstand. Two independent approaches were taken to constrain the long-term tectonic uplift rate of the SSIs at 0.22-0.48 m/ka, placing the tectonic contribution to the reconstructed RSL highstand between 1.4 and 2.9 m. Finally, we make comparisons to predictions from three global sea level models.

„Welch werthvolle und kunstreich geschmiedete kleine Sache.“

Richard Schaukal (1874-1942) wurde als Dichter ignoriert, als Übersetzer geschätzt und als Literaturkritiker geachtet. Es ist erstaunlich, dass dieses Tätigkeitsfeld unvollständig aufgearbeitet ist, zumal bedeutende Exponenten der Zeit wie Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse oder Rainer Maria Rilke Schaukal um Besprechungen ihrer Werke baten. Er verfasste für zahlreiche Publikationsorgane meist unbequeme Essays, die sich − mehr noch als seine dichterischen Arbeiten − in den Diskurs der kulturkonservativen kritischen Moderne einschrieben. Mit Blick auf seine frühe Phase als Literaturkritiker werden Richard Schaukals ästhetische Positionen, Einflüsse und Funktionen untersucht. Abschließend wird sein Aufsatz über Ferdinand von Saar (1899) einer exemplarischen Analyse unterzogen.

Islam en Bogotá: procesos de conversión y subjetividad femenina

La presente monografía tiene como objeto de estudio los procesos de conversión al Islam y los cambios subsecuentes que se producen en las subjetividades femeninas de tres mujeres musulmanas en Bogotá. Para ello, se hace uso de diversas teorías sociológicas con las cuales se analiza el proceso de conversión religiosa como un acto social y las implicaciones de esta en las nuevas subjetividades femeninas islámicas. La metodología utilizada son las historias de vida, herramienta que permitió comparar experiencias de socialización a la luz de los procesos de conversión religiosa. Como resultado de esta investigación se encontró que existen diferentes tipos de conversiones, las cuales pueden ser catalogadas como fallidas o exitosas, en donde la subjetividad presentará mayores o menores cambios como consecuencia de estas.

Subjetividades políticas desde la representación : fotografía documental del campesinado en Colombia (1965-1975)

Esta investigación explora arqueológicamente el saber constituido sobre el campesinado en Colombia, en el período de 1965-1975, tomando como material empírico principal un archivo fotográfico documental que relacionaremos con hemerografía y las reconstrucciones socio-históricas de la década. Nuestro propósito es relacionar el archivo, sus condiciones, su porvenir, medios y definiciones con la constitución de subjetividades políticas. Las subjetividades son entendidas aquí en tanto procesos que al referir universos simbólicos socialmente compartidos, dotan al sujeto de un lenguaje cultural que a continuación internaliza, y adquiere así una singularidad que lo caracteriza y finalmente lo representa como “ser colectivo”. Descifraremos, a través de lo visible y lo oculto de las representaciones fotográficas, los enunciados posibles y las aproximaciones desde la sociología. Veremos como los discursos, por demás contradictorios, fungen a manera de proyectos de homogeneización de la cultura campesina efectuándose en la esfera de la heterogeneidad: campesinos marcados por diferencias entre sí, multiplicidad de subjetividades implicadas políticamente en los procesos inscritos dentro de la reforma agraria.

Iberian and Latin American Music Scholarship on the Ascent: Reflections from the United States

In the early twentieth century, musicology was established as an academic discipline in the United States. Nonetheless, with the exception of Iberian medieval and Renaissance repertories, U.S. scholars largely overlooked the music of the Spanish- and Portuguese- speaking world. Why should this have been the case, especially in light of Spain’s strong historical presence in the United States? This autobiographical essay examines this question by tracing the career of an individual musicologist, the Hispanist musicologist Carol A. Hess. Evaluated here are disciplinary shifts in U.S. musicology —methodological, philosophical, and ideological— over the past thirty years. These transformations have combined to make this repertory a viable field of study today. Musicologists in the United States can now make their careers by specializing in Iberian and Latin American music, as well as the music of the Hispanic diaspora. They research topics ranging from the avant-garde composer Llorenç Barber to the rapper Nach Scratch or the popular bandleader Xavier Cugat and his U.S. audiences of the 1940s, while others also pursue the time-tested areas of medieval and Renaissance music. Iberian and Latin American music is regularly offered in postsecondary institutions while instructors now have a variety of textbooks and other pedagogical resources from which to choose. All add up to a disciplinary freedom that would have been unthinkable only a few decades ago.
