Abstract:
Human cultures and groups, when defining themselves, compare themselves with others. Names used to denote other groups often refer to characteristics associated with these groups, frequently in a way that expresses the superiority of the naming group or the strangeness or even danger of the named group. Derogatory terms such as ‘barbarians’, ‘head-cutters’ or simply ‘edible ones’ are examples of names referring to dangerous traits. The number of groups in the world using a name for themselves that translates simply as ‘human’ to differentiate themselves from neighbouring groups is staggering.

Abstract:
<p>In this paper we examine the way Simenon uses violent images of water in <em>Long cours</em> (1936). This exotic novel tells the wanderings of Joseph Mittel who leaves France with Germaine, wanted for murder. Through the analysis of the incipit and the passage about the first days of Mittel as a stoker on the boat of a smuggler we show that Simenon creates a network of references in order to elucidate the failure of the exotic experience of the main character. This allows us to reflect on Simenon’s writing process as well.</p>

Abstract:
The article considers a number of picturesque costumed images à la turque, which means in the oriental taste, created in Russia in the 18th century. The studied works are divided into the costumed and typical images of the inhabitants of the Muslim world and a costumed portrait à la turque. It is believed that the means of creating an “oriental” image in those works was a costumizing – dressing a model in an exotic outfit perceived as a national costume of the peoples from the Muslim Orient. The work studies the history of creating costumed images à la turque in Russian art of the 18th century. It also deals with the composition and specificity of exotic costumes, the artistic-stylistic and genre features of the works under study and, when possible, identifies their pictorial sources.

Abstract A beyond Horndeski theory is considered that admits wormholes, black holes and naked singularities. In this theory the shadow images of the black holes and the exotic compact objects (ECOs), illuminated by an optically and geometrically thin disk, are investigated. The results show that the three kinds of objects cast unlike shadow images, in particular, because the different objects possess a different number of light rings. The different boundaries of the accretion disk also affect the images. This may provide further insight into the nature of the shadow images of massive compact objects.

Abstract:
Black holes have the ability to generate infinite number of images of any given source. These relativistic images are formed by light rays winding around the black hole several times. The phenomenology associated with these images is very rich, since these features are very sensitive to the metric structure of the black hole. Here, we review some aspects of gravitational lensing by black holes and consider some fundamental aspects related to alternative solutions, which do not reproduce Schwarzschild in the asymptotic limit and are supported by exotic matter.

Full text
Abstract:
Georges Bizet (1838-1875) is best known for his operatic masterpiece, Carmen, but his other works have received much criticism. Much of this criticism stems from the belief that his work was simply derivative of other composers, including the father of French musical exoticism, Felicien David (1810-1876). However, there has never been any formal study comparing the two composers' compositional techniques.The purpose of this study is to compare the approaches that both Bizet and David took to portray the exotic in their operatic works, and to categorize any differences or similarities between the two composers' styles. The operas chosen for this study include Bizet's Les Pecheurs de perles (1863) and Djamileh (1872), as well as David's La Perle du Bresil (1851) and Lalla-Roukh (1862). Detailed historical background and musical analysis will be provided for each opera.

Abstract:
En analysant les images françaises du Maroc, avant le Protectorat (XVIIe-XXe siècle), nous avons espéré réfléchir sur la spécificité de ce genre littéraire à partir des schèmes narratifs et discursifs qu’il met en œuvre. L’étude de ces images, dans leur genèse et dans leur typologie, présuppose une approche pluridisciplinaire. Car, nous semble-il, il est indispensable de mettre en relation les analyses littéraires, l’histoire, l’histoire des idées sachant que les images culturelles d’un pays peuvent ne pas être le reflet d’une réalité politique, historique d’un moment, mais elles s’avèrent, en revanche, liées à une situation culturelle historiquement déterminée. Pour saisir la présence de l’étranger, ou son image, dans un texte, il faudrait tenir compte des conditions de production de ce texte. Par conséquent, l’mage se constitue, en fait, d’un ensemble d’idées sur l’étranger évoluant dans un processus de «littérarisation et de socialisation » Dans cette perspective, notre démarche se veut à la fois chronologique, synchronique et interdisciplinaire. Ainsi, en recensant les images constituées sur le Maroc et ses habitants, depuis le XVIIe jusqu’au XXe siècle, nous espérons voir, s’il y a ou non une filiation dans la perception française de l’Autre. Contextualisation exige, pour mieux cerner l’arrière-plan de cette perception, nous aurons recours, naturellement, aux textes produits par les voyageurs, mais aussi aux documents historiques, ethnologiques et sociologiques. L’élargissement du champ de la réflexion à d’autres disciplines, relevant du champ des sciences humaines et sociales, nous permettra, de saisir comment la représentation de l’Autre, pourrait nous révéler les fonctionnements d’une instance idéologique historiquement repérable (exotisme, racisme, par exemple …). Aussi, nous demanderons-nous, à titre d’exemple, si l’appartenance d’un auteur au catholicisme n’infléchit pas dans un sens ou dans un autre sa vision du musulman et du juif. On pourra se demander aussi si le regard des voyageurs du Grand siècle n’a pas changé avec l’apport des idées du siècle des Lumières, fondées sur l’apologie de la raison et d’une certaine rationalité scientifique et académique
By analysing the images that the French make of Morocco before the Protectorate, we have hoped to reflect on the specificity of this literary genre from the narrative and discursive schemas that it sets out to make use of. The study of these mental presentations or images in their genesis and typology presupposes a multidisciplinary approach, for, as it appears, it is crucially important to relate literary analysis, and the history of ideas to this study while being, at the same time, aware that cultural images of a country may not truly reflect the political and historical reality of a given time. These images are, however, related to a cultural backdrop which is historically determined. In order to seize the presence of theStranger, the Other, his or her image in a text, it is essential to take into consideration the conditions that contributed to the production of that text. Therefore, an image consists of a group of ideas that are conjured up about the Other or Foreigner evolving in a literacy and socialisation process. It is in the above mentioned perspective that the present paper attempts a chronological, synchronic and an interdisciplinary approach. Thus, by shedding light on the multi images made about Morocco and its inhabitants since the 17th up to the 20th century, we hope to trace whether there or does not exist a filiation of the other in the French perception. Hence,some contextualisation is of the essence in order to encompass the background of thisperception of the Other. Naturally, we have had recourse not only to texts which were produced by travellers across Morocco, but also to historical, ethnological as well as sociological documents addressing this issue. Also, the enlarging of our reflection field to touch on other disciplines, such as human and social sciences, will allow us to come into grips with how the concept and presentation of the Other could reveal the functioning of an ideologicalinstance, be it exotic or racist, which is historically traceable. For exemplification sake, we also wonder if a Christian author is not influenced in his vision of the Muslims and Jews in a way or another. We could also wonder if the outlook of the travellers of the Grand century has not been altered by the contribution of the ideas of the century of light which is based on the dominance of reason as well as a certain scientific and academic rationality

Abstract:
Mon travail de recherche se propose de combler des lacunes concernant l’iconogaphie des femmes sud-américaines. Etant donné l’absence d’écoles d’art ainsi que d’ateliers d’impression en Grande Colombie jusqu’à la première moitié du XIXe siècle, les images en général sont rares. Quand on en trouve, il s’agit des portraits de quelques femmes extraordinaires comme des saintes ou des épouses des hauts fonctionnaires, donc des représentantes d’une minorité aisée et créole. Les artistes locaux ont surtout peint les grands hommes et notamment les héros des jeunes Républiques. En revanche, sur la vie quotidienne de la plupart des femmes, qu’elles soient Indiennes, Métisses, Noires ou même Créoles, nous n’avons que très peu de témoignages. La Grande Colombie comme la Nouvelle Grenade, par ailleurs, souffrait d’un manque d’attrait. Cette région n’a jamais représentée dans l’imaginaire des voyageurs européens, les richesses légendaires des vice-royautés du Pérou ou de la Nouvelle Espagne (Mexique). C’est seulement à l’orée du XIXe siècle que cette zone équatoriale commence à faire parler d’elle et ce changement significatif est dû au grand voyage scientifique de Humboldt et Bonpland. Grâce à la médiatisation de ces explorateurs, un nombre important de voyageurs français décide de suivre leurs pas. Parmi eux, un petit nombre écrit et publie des récits illustrés. Leurs gravures et lithographies apportent donc les documents nécessaires pour combler en partie le vide pictural féminin. Ces images n’ont jusque là pas suscitées d’études historiques approfondies d’autant qu’elles ont longtemps été considérées comme des simples ornements accompagnant le texte. Cette thèse propose de démontrer, au contraire, le rôle primordial de cette iconographie, sa puissance symbolique et sa contribution au discours qui caractérise alors la littérature de voyage. Qu’elles soient guidées par des observations concrètes ou par la pure imagination, ces descriptions picturales et littéraires permettent de dégager les principaux stéréotypes élaborés sur les femmes grande-colombiennes et ce malgré leur riche multiplicité
The aim of this thesis is to fill in certain gaps in the iconographic treatment of South American women. Due to the lack of art schools and printing workshops in Gran Colombia through the first half of the nineteenth century, images in general are rare. The existing works are portraits of such extraordinary women as saints or wives of important officials, thus representatives of a wealthy Creole minority. Local artists tended to choose as subjects prominent men, notably the heroes of the young Republics. By contrast, the daily lives of most women, whether Indian, Métis, Black or even Creole, were rarely featured. In addition, like New Granada, Gran Colombia suffered from a relative lack of attractiveness. In the imagination of European travelers this region never represented the legendary wealth of Viceroyalties like Peru or New Spain (Mexico). It was only at the dawn of the nineteenth century that this equatorial zone attracted significant interest due in large part to the great scientific exploration of Humboldt and Bonpland. Thanks to their many publications, a large number of French travelers decided to follow their footsteps. Among them, a small group wrote and published illustrated volumes. Their engravings and lithographs provide the material needed to restore at least partially the lack of female images. To this point such iconography has not generated in-depth historical study, since it has long been considered merely ornamental and secondary to the text. This thesis proposes to demonstrate the contrary by focusing upon the sizeable role of this iconography, its symbolic power and its contribution to the discourse then characteristic of travel literature. Based upon specific observations or drawn purely from imagination, these pictorial and literary descriptions enable the identification of the principal stereotypes developed to characterize Gran Colombian women, despite the fact of their rich cultural multiplicity
La presente tesis busca llenar algunos vacíos existentes en los estudios sobre la representación iconográfica de las mujeres suramericanas. Debido a la ausencia de escuelas de Bellas Artes y talleres de impresión en la Gran Colombia hasta mediados del siglo XIX, la producción general de imágenes era escasa. Los artistas locales apostaban por retratar a hombres influyentes, particularmente los héroes de la naciente República, y las pocas obras sobre mujeres que se realizaban correspondían a santas o esposas de los altos funcionarios, representantes de la opulenta minoría criolla. Son entonces pocos los testimonios iconográficos que se conservan de la vida cotidiana de la mayoría de las mujeres de origen amerindio, mestizo, negro e incluso criollo. La Gran Colombia sufría además de la misma falta de atracción que aisló durante siglos a la Nueva Granada: en el imaginario de los viajeros europeos, la región no se comparaba con la legendaria riqueza de los virreinatos de Perú y Nueva España. Sólo hasta principios del siglo XIX, la América equinoccial se convirtió en un centro de interés tras las expediciones científicas de Humboldt y Bonpland. Gracias a sus múltiples publicaciones, varios viajeros franceses decidieron seguir sus pasos, publicando, además, sus relatos de viaje ilustrados con grabados y litografías. Unos trabajos que proveen el material necesario para suplir, al menos parcialmente, la ausencia de imágenes femeninas en la Gran Colombia. Hasta la fecha, esta iconografía no ha generado estudios históricos específicos pues ha sido considerada siempre ornamental y secundaria frente al texto de los relatos. El objetivo de este estudio es entonces demostrar lo contrario, revelando su papel protagónico, su poder simbólico y su influencia en el discurso literario característico de los relatos de viajeros. Por tanto, ya sean inspiradas por la imaginación o guiadas por la observación empírica, las descripciones pictóricas y literarias de estos relatos permiten la identificación de los principales estereotipos elaborados sobre las mujeres grancolombianas a pesar de su heterogeneidad cultural

Abstract:
Invasive plant species threaten native plant communities and inhibit efforts to restore disturbed landscapes. Surface coal mines in the Appalachian Mountains are some of the most disturbed landscapes in North America. Moreover, there is not a comprehensive understanding of the land cover characteristics of post- mined lands in Appalachia. Better information on mined lands' vegetative cover and ecosystem recovery status is necessary for implementation of effective environmental management practices. The invasive autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) is abundant on former coal surface mines, often outcompeting native trees due to its faster growth rate. The frequent revisit time and spatial and spectral resolution of Landsat satellites make Landsat imagery well suited for mapping and characterizing land cover and forest recovery on former coal surface mines. I performed a multitemporal classification using a random forest analysis to map autumn olive on former and current surface coal mines in southwest Virginia. Imagery from the Operational Land Imager on Landsat 8 were used as input data for the study. Calibration and validation data for use in model development were obtained using high-resolution aerial imagery. Results indicate that autumn olive cover is sufficiently dense to enable detection using Landsat imagery on approximately 12.6% of the current and former surface coal mines located in the study area that have been mined since the early 1980s. The classified map produced here had a user's and producer's accuracy of 85.3% and 78.6% respectively for the autumn olive coverage class. Overall accuracy in reference to an independent validation dataset was 96.8%. These results indicate that autumn olive growing on reclaimed coal mines in Virginia and elsewhere in the Appalachian coalfields can be mapped using Landsat imagery. Additionally, autumn olive occurrence is a significant landscape feature on former surface coal mines in the Virginia coalfields.

Considérant le monde de la mode en tant que champ de production et reproduction de significations, cette recherche propose une réflexion à propos des représentations du Brésil et des “brésilienités, ainsi que de l’actualisation et conformation des identités brésiliennes dans la mode nationale. Ayant comme départ une recherche de terrain au Brésil et en France, nous envisageons de comprendre les images de la nation qui sont créées dans le processus de nationalisation de la mode brésilienne. Parmi les questions analysées, il y a celle d’un corps brésilien exotique et érotique, bien que la perception du pays comme nature exubérante et paradis sous le tropique, et l’utilisation d’une “culture populaire” brésilienne par la mode et la consommation du luxe. Finalement, nous examinons la construction du Brésil en tant qu’un autre exotique, et la nationalisation des thématiques dans la mode brésilienne comme stratégie pour la globaliser.
Percebendo o mundo da moda como lugar de produção e veiculação de sentidos, procura-se desenvolver uma reflexão a respeito das representações de Brasil e “brasilidades”, e da atualização e conformação de identidades brasileiras na moda nacional. A partir de pesquisa de campo realizada no Brasil e na França, visamos compreender as imagens da Nação que são elaboradas na tentativa de nacionalizar a moda brasileira. Alguns dos elementos analisados dizem respeito às idéias de um corpo brasileiro erotizado e exotizado, do Brasil como natureza exuberante e paraíso nos trópicos, e dos usos da “cultura popular” brasileira pela alta moda e consumo de luxo. Por fim, discute-se a construção do Brasil enquanto outro exótico e o recurso à nacionalização das temáticas, por parte da moda brasileira, como meio para globalizá-la.
Conceiving fashion world as a field of production and trade of meanings, our intention is to think about the representations of Brazil and “brazilianess”, and of the actualization and the formation of brazilian identities in the country’s contemporary fashion. Starting from a multisited anthropological research in France and Brazil, we aim the understanding of some ideas of Brazil created in the process of nationalization of brazilian fashion. Some analysed elements refers to the idea of an erotic and exotic brazilian body, of Brazil as an exuberant nature and a paradise in the tropics, and the use by high fashion and luxury consumption of a brazilian “popular culture”. At last, we discuss the construction of Brazil as an “exotic other” and the strategy of nationalization of subjects by the brazilian fashion as a way of globalization.

Abstract:
“‘Am I Sexy Yet?’: Contextualizing the Movement of Exotic Dance and Its Effects on Female Dancers’ Self-image and Sexual Expression” looks at exotic dancing in three contexts––a pole fitness studio, a strip club, and a college dance concert––and how the movement is experienced by the dancers in each space. It questions how the movement changes meaning for the dancers, audience, and mainstream culture based on the context and location, even with similar content. Specifically, it analyzes how the experiences of the dancers affect their self confidence, sexuality, and sexual expression. Then, it applies Audre Lorde's “Uses of the Erotic” to their experiences to show how this movement can be looked at through a different lens as deeper, more freeing, and more transgressive than it is usually thought to be.

Abstract:
To refine our knowledge and to adequately test hypotheses concerning theoretical and applied aspects of invasion biology, successful and unsuccessful invaders should be compared. This study investigated insect establishment patterns by comparing the climatic preferences and biological attributes of two groups of polyphagous insect species that are constantly intercepted at New Zealand's border. One group of species is established in New Zealand (n = 15), the other group comprised species that are not established (n = 21). In the present study the two groups were considered to represent successful and unsuccessful invaders. To provide background for interpretation of results of the comparative analysis, global areas that are climatically analogous to sites in New Zealand were identified by an eco-climatic assessment model, CLIMEX, to determine possible sources of insect pest invasion. It was found that south east Australia is one of the regions that are climatically very similar to New Zealand. Furthermore, New Zealand shares 90% of its insect pest species with that region. South east Australia has close trade and tourism links with New Zealand and because of its proximity a new incursion in that analogous climate should alert biosecurity authorities in New Zealand. Other regions in western Europe and the east coast of the United States are also climatically similar and share a high proportion of pest species with New Zealand. Principal component analysis was used to investigate patterns in insect global distributions of the two groups of species in relation to climate. Climate variables were reduced to temperature and moisture based principal components defining four climate regions, that were identified in the present study as, warm/dry, warm/wet, cool/dry and cool/moist. Most of the insect species established in New Zealand had a wide distribution in all four climate regions defined by the principal components and their global distributions overlapped into the cool/moist, temperate climate where all the New Zealand sites belong. The insect species that have not established in New Zealand had narrow distributions within the warm/wet, tropical climates. Discriminant analysis was then used to identify which climate variables best discriminate between species presence/absence at a site in relation to climate. The discriminant analysis classified the presence and absence of most insect species significantly better than chance. Late spring and early summer temperatures correctly classified a high proportion of sites where many insect species were present. Soil moisture and winter rainfall were less effective discriminating the presence of the insect species studied here. Biological attributes were compared between the two groups of species. It was found that the species established in New Zealand had a significantly wider host plant range than species that have not established. The lower developmental threshold temperature was on average, 4°C lower for established species compared with non-established species. These data suggest that species that establish well in New Zealand have a wide host range and can tolerate lower temperatures compared with those that have not established. No firm conclusions could be drawn about the importance of propagule pressure, body size, fecundity or phylogeny for successful establishment because data availability constrained sample sizes and the data were highly variable. The predictive capacity of a new tool that has potential for eco-climatic assessment, the artificial neural network (ANN), was compared with other well used models. Using climate variables as predictors, artificial neural network predictions were compared with binary logistic regression and CLIMEX. Using bootstrapping, artificial neural networks predicted insect presence and absence significantly better than the binary logistic regression model. When model prediction success was assessed by the kappa statistic there were also significant differences in prediction performance between the two groups of study insects. For established species, the models were able to provide predictions that were in moderate agreement with the observed data. For non-established species, model predictions were on average only slightly better than chance. The predictions of CLIMEX and artificial neural networks when given novel data, were difficult to compare because both models have different theoretical bases and different climate databases. However, it is clear that both models have potential to give insights into invasive species distributions. Finally the results of the studies in this thesis were drawn together to provide a framework for a prototype pest risk assessment decision support system. Future research is needed to refine the analyses and models that are the components of this system.

No Brasil é empregado empiricamente um reforço (compósito) que utiliza resina epóxi e fibra de vidro para melhorar o desempenho mecânico de tais rochas quando empregadas como materiais de construção. Os objetivos da presente pesquisa foram estudar o reforço tradicional brasileiro (telagem) para determinar sua eficiência e, ao mesmo tempo, propor outras soluções de reforço alternativas e mais eficientes, e avaliá-las através da caracterização mecânica experimental. Foi proposto um critério denominado Declive Global para avaliar as tensões de serviço dos materiais pegmatíticos estudados, quando os reforços propostos foram aplicados. Para validar esse critério foi utilizado um sistema de correlação digital de imagem (CDI) para observar e medir o comportamento de deformação e fratura durante a realização de testes de flexão em 4 pontos. Tanto o critério proposto como a CDI mostraram que a propagação de fissuras ocorre muito antes do material atingir a carga máxima. O reforço alternativo proposto, que emprega resina epóxi e uma fibra de vidro 600 g/m² apresentou o melhor desempenho mecânico, elevando a carga de ruptura até 6x em comparação com as amostras onde nenhum reforço foi aplicado. Os resultados demonstrados pelos reforços propostos são promissores e aumentam a possibilidade de aplicar rochas exóticas frágeis como materiais de construção, além do critério proposto fornecer uma ferramenta importante para a compreensão mecânica prévia de produtos de rocha que utilizam reforços compósitos.
A great number of coarse-grained natural stones have very high added-value when used as building materials, the so called exotic stones. However, problems using these materials arise from its brittleness behavior, which are related to its very heterogeneous texture. Glass fiber-reinforced epoxy composite (GFRC) is being used to improve mechanical performance of such stones when employed as building materials. The objectives of this present investigation it were studying the Brazilian traditional reinforcement to determinate its efficiency and, at the same time, a number of alternative solutions were proposed and evaluated through experimental mechanical characterization. It was proposed a slope-based criterion to evaluate the useful service loads of pegmatitic materials when glass fiber-reinforcement is applied. To validate the proposed criterion, a digital image correlation (DIC) system was employed to observe and measure strain and fracture behavior during the realization of 4-point bending tests. Both proposed criterion and DIC show that crack propagation occurs long before the material reaches maximum load. GFRC acts as a crack inhibitor, raising the breaking load up to 6x in comparison with the specimens where no reinforcement was applied. The results from this study enhance the capability to apply such materials as building materials and provide an important tool to perform prior mechanical understanding of stone products using GFRC.

Abstract:
Ever since the creation of the world’s first zoological and botanical gardens five thousand years ago, people have collected, displayed, and depicted animals and plants from lands far beyond their everyday experience. Some did so to demonstrate power over far-flung territories; others to enhance prestige by possessing something no one had ever seen before. Exotica also satisfied intellectual curiosity, educated and entertained, and furthered scientific inquiry. The earliest evidence we have shows that exotic fauna and flora—and the state-sponsored images of them—were instruments of political persuasion, and in turn often exerted considerable influence over expansionist policies. This book tells the fascinating story behind the many ways the exotic have appeared in Western art. Beginning in the world of Mesopotamia in the Bronze Age, the text travels chronologically through the Classical, Byzantine, Islamic, and Renaissance periods to end in the New World’s gardens of Eden, meeting such characters as Albrecht Durer’s rhinoceros, Hatshepsut’s beloved baboons, Empress Josephine’s kangaroos, and Seleucus’s tiger along the way.

Abstract:
In the Greek Classical period, the symposium—the social gathering at which male citizens gathered to drink wine and engage in conversation—was held in a room called the andron. From couches set up around the perimeter of the andron, symposiasts looked inward to the room’s center, which often was decorated with a pebble mosaic floor. These mosaics provided visual treats for the guests, presenting them with images of mythological scenes, exotic flora, dangerous beasts, hunting parties, or the specter of Dionysos, the god of wine, riding in his chariot or on the back of a panther. This book takes as its subject these mosaics and the context of their viewing. Relying on discourses in the sociology and anthropology of space, it argues that the andron’s mosaic imagery actively contributed to a complex, metaphorical experience of the symposium. In combination with the ritualized circling of the wine cup from couch to couch around the room and the physiological reaction to wine, the images of mosaic floors called to mind other images, spaces, or experiences, and, in doing so, prompted drinkers to reimagine the symposium as another kind of event—a nautical voyage, a journey to a foreign land, the circling heavens or a choral dance, or the luxury of an abundant past. Such spatial metaphors helped to forge the intimate bonds of friendship that are the ideal result of the symposium and that make up the political and social fabric of the Greek polis.

Abstract:
The Persian Mirror explores France’s preoccupation with Persia in the seventeenth century. Long before Montesquieu’s Persian Letters, French intellectuals, diplomats, and even ordinary Parisians were fascinated by Persia and eagerly consumed travel accounts, fairy tales, and the spectacle of the Persian ambassador’s visit to Paris and Versailles in 1715. Using diplomatic sources, fiction, and printed and painted images, The Persian Mirror describes how the French came to see themselves in Safavid Persia. In doing so, it revises our notions of Orientalism and the exotic and suggests that early modern Europeans had more nuanced responses to Asia than previously imagined.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the Western imaginary, the “south seas” of the Pacific Ocean has always been a speculative space on which both desires and fears are projected. Western images of fantastical, utopian spaces and exotic species ripe for conquest and capitalist extraction have left long legacies, that today continue to impact on issues of land ownership, indigenous agency, and response to ecological devastation. The conceptualization of the “south seas” in Britain’s first financial crisis, the 1720 south sea Bubble and its associated satirical fiction, produced a dominant, overdetermined imaginary of the Pacific that masked its real financial and economic motivations. As this paper’s analysis of the 2017 BBC television series Taboo argues, this imaginary stubbornly remains 300 years later, enabling unbound speculative investment, extraction, and concealment that are damaging the world economy through offshore finance, and global ecology through reckless pillaging of natural resources.

Abstract:
In Europe, the historical representation and narration of China and the Orient more in general from an outsider’s point of view has conjured up an exotic and a-historical image of a poetical, mystical and refined civilization. In Walpole’s Britain, for example, “the argument from the Chinese”—namely, the admiration for a prosperous and densely populated kingdom which did not belong to a single faith—was frequently used in religious disputes when claiming a wider or more coherent policy of tolerance or seeking to cut down the prerogatives of the clerical hierarchies. This chapter explores further Western uses of "the argument from the Chinese" in modern times and through different media (Antonioni; Yanne; Martin).

Abstract Slavery in the United States—or to be perfectly accurate, black—slavery traces its beginnings back to 1619, when a Dutch man-of-war sold twenty “Negars” in Jamestown. This was twelve years after the founding of the colony. But Africans lived in the imaginations of English men and women long before settlement of the New World, indeed long before the existence of a New World to settle was known. Medieval authors, among them Geoffrey Chaucer, made references to blacks in their writings, drawing on the literature of ancient Greece and Rome as well as allusions in the Bible. And by the Middle Ages, Africa was the subject of many travel accounts, most an exotic mixture of fact and fantasy.

Abstract:
Metamaterials have been realized for exotic optical phenomena which can not be found in nature, such as negative refractive index and cloaking. Nowadays, people intend to be more precisely from fundamental physical response to specific functionalities in metamaterials on demand for the development on practical applications, such as optical switches, phase gradient surfaces[1,2], optical modulators, polarizer and wave plate. One of the potential applications is the metamaterial based perfect absorber (MPA)[3]. Due to the strong electromagnetic field confinement arising from surface plasmon resonance, MPA provides a benefitting way for enhancing the efficiency in solar energy capture, nanoplasmonic sensor and bolometer. The commonly utilized structural configuration for MPAs is incorporating a metamaterial array with a perfect reflective mirror separated by a dielectric spacer. Because of the near-field interaction between metamaterials and its mirror images, a strong plasmon field confinement is involved and therefore dramatically enhances the absorption intensity. However, both the electric and magnetic responses play an important role to those of electromagnetic media, especially for the nonlinearity responses. Vertical split-ring resonator (VSRR) attracts a wide interest because it found out that the magnetic reciprocal coupling of incident light [4,5].

Abstract:
Abstract Four fundamental forms for representing rigid body motion, i.e. the rotation-of-vector form, the matrix form, the quaternion form and the screw form, all based on the conventional concept that motion is specified by the movement of a reference point together with an orientation change, are expounded. The inter-relationships among these forms are elucidated. The geometric images of these representation-forms, i.e. the motion mappings, are explained, and an innovative duplex-mapping, a powerful tool for mobility analysis of multi-loop mechanisms and robots, is introduced. An exotic motion representation, based on a concept totally different from the conventional concept, is described. This is a purely geometric representation, a representation by a pair of conjugate curves on respective conjugate surfaces, and is called the conjugation form of motion representation. The conversion from the conjugation form to the rotation-of-vector form and the inverse conversion are described. These conversions, which constitute the essential and featured contents of the Theory of Conjugate Surfaces, have great potential applications in motion design for numerically controlled manufacturing and in surface generation by numerically controlled manufacturing. The basis equations for the conversions, i.e. the three relationship-equations, are deduced. The fundamental equation conjugation, the four conjugato-kinematic entities and the five differential formulas for the inverse conversion are derived.

Abstract:
The large electro-optic coefficient of photorefractive materials such as BaTiO3 has allowed the observation of exotic phase conjugators such as the Self-Pumped Phase Conjugator (SPPC)1 and, more recently, the Mutually Pumped Phase Conjugator (MPPC), in which two simultaneous phase conjugate (PC) outputs are produced by the interaction of two mutually incoherent beams within a photorefractive crystal. Several generic MPPC configurations have been reported, differing more in their exact beam geometry rather than the physical mechanism responsible for the effect. These geometries include the Double Phase Conjugate Mirror (DPCM)2, the Mutually incoherent beam coupler (MIBC)3, the Bird-Wing Phase Conjugator (BWPC)4, the Frogs Legs Conjugator3 and the Bridge Conjugator6,7. Both the DPCM and MIBC have been shown to possess input beam intensity ratio dependent reflectivities and threshold8,9, and these properties have been utilised in the DPCM for image processing applications8.

Abstract:
Thermally-enhanced polymer composites are a promising alternative to exotic metals in seawater heat exchanger applications due to the low cost and corrosion resistance of base polymers and heat transfer rates competitive with corrosion-resistant metals such as titanium or stainless steel. While the properties of thermally-enhanced polymer composites are well-suited for heat exchanger applications, fiber orientation has a strong influence on the structural and thermal performance of the manufactured components. In this study, a method of creating samples, sectioning and polishing them for imaging, microscope sampling for the identification of fibers, image processing to characterize fiber orientation, and finally comparison to predictions from computer-aided engineering (CAE) software is demonstrated for collecting experimental information on fiber orientation of molded parts. Understanding fiber orientation in injection-molded polymer heat exchangers is important for ensuring ideal heat transfer and structural performance and this study presents an experimental methodology for determining the influence of injection molding process parameters on fiber orientation in thermally-enhanced polymer composite geometries.

Abstract:
The capability of lenses for microlithography has doubled every few years, surpassing the expectations of the experts and postponing the introduction of more exotic technologies. Semiconductor lithography requirements place demands on optical design and performance that go well beyond the classical criteria of diffraction limited performance. The reduction in wavelength and the increase in numerical aperture and image field size have increased the required complexity, size, component count, and accuracy to unprecedented levels in the optical industry. The special­ized metrology and manufacturing processes have kept pace with these industry requirements. It is likely that capabilities will continue to improve through the year 2000 and be consistent with future requirements of reflective optical components needed for 0.1 μm lithography projection lenses in the extreme ultraviolet or soft x-ray region at 13 nm. The accuracy of components for this regime will need to be five times greater than for today’s lenses—i.e., about 1 nm. In addition, these surfaces will likely need to be aspheric. The tools and techniques needed for current and future lithographic components will be discussed.

Abstract:
Sinful Exotics of A. V. Novák Literary image of a journey to Asie in 1926–1927 Traveller and writer Archibald Václav Novák (1895–1979) rose to fame in the 1920s as the author of popular nov els and short stories inspired by a stay in Tahiti and the United States of America from 1919 to 1921. Sucesess of books and lectures allowed Novák to undertake another long journey. From October 1926 to April 1926 A. V. Novák visited Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, Malaya, Singapore, Sumatra, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and Japan. After returning home, Novák organized public lectures and published new novels and short stores inspored by the places he visited and the people he met. He also wrote a four-volume travelogue based on his travel diary. On his journey, Novák took not only still photographs, but short movies as well. After the communists took power in Czechoslovakia in 1948, Novák was purged from public life. No longer heralded as either a traveller or a writer, he was virtually consigned to oblivion. It was not until after 2000 that a study of the phenomenon of Czecho slovak emigration to Tahiti kindled renewed interest in him. In 2010, some of Novák’s previously unknown pho tographs were discovered and donated to the Náprstek Museum’s photographic collection, which is a part of the National Museum in Prague. Movies, diaries and the most of negatives by A. V. Novák have not been preserved, but there is a large number of glass slides used as an accom paniment of lectures. Photographic collection and books by A. V. Novák offer a valuable source of information about the non-Europen countries in 1920s and the ways, how they were presented to public in Czechoslovakia.
