Abstract:
Abstract We sought to determine whether various inhibitors of Oxidative Phosphorylation (OxPhos) could restore tumor infiltrating T cell functionality and longevity while compromising metabolic fitness of tumor cells. Using a combination of in vitro metabolic profiling with the Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer and in vivo tumor immunotherapy in the immunocompetent TRAMP-C2 prostate adenocarcinoma model, we determined the differential impact of multiple OxPhos inhibitors on both tumor immune metabolic fitness and functional capacity. Impact on the tumor immune microenvironment of TRAMP-C2 tumors was assessed through high parameter flow cytometry on a BD X-30. While OxPhos inhibition compromised initial T cell activation, we found that two of the inhibitors increased the glucose uptake, proliferation, and activation status of effector T cells. In contrast, the same two inhibitors decreased the mitochondrial fitness, proliferation and OxPhos metabolic capacity of TRAMP-C2 tumor cells themselves. To determine whether this selective inhibition of tumor versus T cell metabolic function could improve immunotherapy responses in vivo, we implanted TRAMP-C2 tumors and treated them with these OxPhos inhibitors with or without concomitant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). The combination of ICB and OxPhos inhibition achieved highly significant and durable rates of tumor control and regression suggesting that these approaches are potentially synergistic. Analysis of the tumor microenvironment has identified the cellular mechanisms underlying these therapeutic effects which may provide useful biomarkers as this novel combination is translated to the clinic.

Abstract:
Leitura da narrativa O estrangeiro, de Albert Camus, e da narrativa fílmica O homem que não estava lá, dos irmãos Ethan Coen e Joel Coen, com vistas a propor uma reflexão literária sobre o desconcerto do sujeito num mundo de solidão, indiferença e nonsense existencial. Oriundas do esmaecimento de qualquer sentimento diante da inexorabilidade da consciência da finitude, pelo comparatismo e com apoio no conceito de intertextualidade, são passadas em revista as trajetórias contingentes de Ed Crane − protagonista da obra cinematográfica − e Meursault, personagem central do romance camusiano. Luz e sombra potencializam a aterradora atmosfera de absurdo na qual se desequilibra Ed Crane, em sua existência obscura, em contraponto com a claridade reinante no percurso de Meursault. Ambos os personagens são condenados pela sociedade, de maneira insólita e definitiva, por intermédio de textos que denunciam, outrossim, a engrenagem trágica do sistema judiciário, permitindo-nos conectar os citados personagens, Plume Um certo Plume, de Henri Michaux e Joseph K. angústia errante engendrada por Franz Kafka em O processo
A reading of Albert Camus narrative The Stranger and of the narrative of the movie The Man Who Wasnt There, by Cohen brothers (Ethan Coen and Joel Coen), so as to propose a literary reflection on the uneasiness of the subject in a world of loneliness, indifference and existential nonsense. Arising from the fading out any feeling towards the inevitable awareness of finitude, by the comparatism and the support of the concept of "intertextuality", contingent trajectories of Ed Crane - protagonist of the movie - and Meursault, central character of the camusian novel, are reviewed. Light and shadow potentiate the fearful atmosphere of absurdity in which Ed Crane unbalances, in his obscure existence, as opposed to the light reigning in Meursault. Both characters are condemned by society in an unusual and definite way, through texts which show the tragic gear of the judiciary system, allowing us to connect the cited characters, Plume Un certain Plume, by Henri Michaux and Joseph K. "anguish errant" created by Franz Kafka in The Trial

Full text
Abstract:
The central argument of this thesis asserts that in the process of challenging dominant subject positions, such as whiteness, performance creates the possibilities for new or alternative arrangements of desire. It examines how the creative process of desire is forestalled (reified) by habitual representations of whiteness as a privileged position, and proposes that performance can be a valid form of resistance to static conceptions of race and subjectivity. The discussion takes into account how the privilege of whiteness finds representation through forms of neo-liberalism and neo-colonialism in the post apartheid context. The analysis focuses on the work of white South African artists whose work offers a critique from within the privileged “centre” of whiteness. The research is situated within the inter-disciplinary field of performance studies entailing a reading and application of critical texts to the analysis. Alongside this qualitative methodology surfaces a subjective dialogue with the information presented on whiteness. Part Two includes an analysis of Steven Cohen’s The Cradle of Humankind (2011), Brett Bailey’s Exhibit A (2011) and Michael MacGarry’s LHR-JNB (2010). Each section examines the way in which the respective works engage in a questioning of whiteness through performance. Part Three investigates South African rap-rave duo, Die Antwoord and how their appropriation of Zef interrogates desires for an essential authenticity. Part Four focuses on my own performance practice and the proposed value of engaging with a form of practice-led research. This is particularly relevant in relation to critical race studies that require a level of self-reflexivity from the researcher. It presents an analysis of the work entitled Villain (2012) as a disturbance of theatrical desire through a process of ‘becoming’. This notion of meaning and identity as ‘becoming’ is argued as a strategy to challenge prevailing modes of perception which can possibly restore the production of desire to the viewer. The thesis concludes with the notion that performance can offer a mode of immanent ethics which is significant in creating both vulnerable and critical forms of whiteness.

Abstract:
<< espace enfermant et identite problematique dans la litterature nordamericaine >> est le sujet que nous avons choisi d'analyser. Par litterature nordamericaine, il faut comprendre la litterature proprement etats-unienne ainsi que la litterature quebecoise. Toutes deux, en se fondant sur une certaine representation de l'espace, ainsi que sur la mise en lumiere de la question de l'identite se rapprochent ; tout comme les deux pays dont elles sont issues. Cette etude vise a montrer que l'espace est non seulement une thematique presente dans cette litterature nordamericaine, mais bien plus, qu'il devient un element constitutif du roman. Il agit sur les personnages qui, quel que soit le lieu dans lequel ils se trouvent, sont comme << avales >>, << engloutis >>. La question de l'identite est alors d'autant plus envisagee pour ces personnages issus d'amerique, continent jeune sans histoire, ou se pose alors la douloureuse question de se definir dans un pays (un espace) qui se cherche.

Abstract:
In “At Berkeley: Documenting the University in an Age of Austerity,” Michael Mark Cohen and Leigh Raiford address documentary’s evolving capacity for political mobilization by focusing on the role of documentary photography and film in the struggle around austerity at the University of California, Berkeley. While the university administration used documentary’s graphic appeal to enlist alumni in a fund-raising campaign that effectively naturalized the privatization of public higher education, students took up documentary forms to challenge the logic of neoliberalism. Working with Cohen and Raiford, who teach at UC Berkeley, student activists produced their own counterdocuments, repurposing documentary images that the university uses to sell education in an era of skyrocketing tuition fees, and rendering themselves as active participants in the struggle to reshape the university and the broader society.

Full text
Abstract:
In this essay, the author focuses on what Jacques Lenoble and Marc Maesschalck call the “pragmatist turn” in the theory of governance. Speaking of pragmatist turn, they refer to recent work by a range of authors such as Charles Sabel, Joshua Cohen and Michael Dorf, who develop an experimental and pragmatist approach of democracy. The concept of “turn” may raise some perplexity. The author believes that we can speak of “turn” about these experimentalist theories because these theories introduce a key issue, what we may call the question of “self-capacitation of the actors.” The author tries to show that this issue constitutes a novelty compared to the deliberative paradigm in the theory of governance. While the issue of collective learning is a black box in the deliberative paradigm, democratic experimentalism seeks to reflect on how the actors can organize themselves to acquire new capacities and to learn new roles. The author concludes in revealing the limits of this approach.

Full text
Abstract:
It has now become commonplace to refer to the current period of capitalist development as the era of the ‘knowledge-based’ (OECD 1996) or ‘learning’ (Lundvall and Johnson 1994) economy. No matter which label one prefers, the production, acquisition, absorption, reproduction, and dissemination of knowledge is seen by many as the fundamental characteristic of contemporary competitive dynamics. Long before this parlance became popular, scholars had expressed a deep interest in distinguishing between different types of knowledge. Philosophers of knowledge such as Ryle (1949) and Michael Polanyi (1958; 1966) anticipated later developments in social constructivist thought by enunciating what was for them a crucial distinction between knowledge that could be effectively expressed using symbolic forms of representation—explicit or codified—and other forms of knowledge that defied such representation—tacit knowledge (see Reber 1995; Barbiero n.d.). Within the field of innovation studies and technological change, and especially since the publication of Nonaka and Takeuchi’s The Knowledge- Creating Company (1995), the distinction between tacit and codified knowledge has been accorded great significance. However, in characteristically prescient fashion Nelson and Winter (1982) in their classic work had already made extensive use of the concept, which informed their analysis of organizational routines within an evolutionary perspective on technological change. In drawing attention to this concept, these authors helped revive widespread interest in the earlier work of Michael Polanyi, to the point where tacit knowledge has come to be recognized as a central component of the learning economy, and a key to innovation and value creation. Moreover, tacit knowledge is also acknowledged as a prime determinant of the geography of innovative activity, since its central role in the process of learning through interacting tends to reinforce the local over the global. For a growing number of scholars, this explains the perpetuation and deepening of geographical concentration in a world of expanding markets, weakening borders, and ever cheaper and more pervasive communication technologies. Recently, tacit knowledge has received considerable attention within the field of industrial economics (see for e.g. Cowan, David, and Foray 2000; Johnson, Lorenz, and Lundvall 2002), where a process of critical re-examination has begun.

Abstract:
Social control includes all the negative actions taken or the words spoken in reaction to behaviour audiences consider wrongful, which attempt to terminate or reduce the enactment of deviant behaviour. Such reactions include the actions of agents of formal social control—duly constituted representatives of organizations, including the state, empowered to exercise it—and informal social control, which is made up of ordinary persons, informal parties interacting with one another. Some actions may violate formally promulgated rules of an institution—smoking or drinking alcohol in Washington Square Park, for instance—that may be acceptable elsewhere. Other actions are not infractions of formal institutional rules, but may be regarded as offensive by informal audiences. Hence, they will attract different types of social control, that is, formal versus informal. Settings will vary with respect to how “loose” (lax) or “tight” (rigid) they are, that is, how much leeway exists as regards certain kinds of behaviour parties in them expect from actors. A school of researchers who study social control, including Michel Foucault and Stanley Cohen (“controlologists”), have imparted an orientation to the phenomenon which the author believes is unproductive for understanding behaviour in the park. Deviance and social control are joined at the hip: one is necessary for the other, and vice versa.
