Erving Goffman at 100: A Chameleon Seen as a Rorschach Test within a Kaleidoscope
The 100th anniversary of Erving Goffman's birth was in 2022. Drawing on his work, the Goffman archives, the secondary literature, and personal experiences with him and those in his university of Chicago cohort, I reflect on some implications of his work and life, and the inseparable issues of understanding society.

Can Extremal Black Holes Have Non-Zero Entropy ? [PDF]
We give several pieces of evidence to show that extremal black holes cannot be obtained as limits of non-extremal black holes. We review arguments in the literature showing that the entropy of extremal black holes is zero, while that of near-extremal ...

Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

ABSTRACT Between 2018 and 2021, the Identification and Documentation of Immovable Heritage Assets (IDIHA) Project recorded over 19,000 rock art panels in the AlUla (al‐‘Ulā) region of north‐western Saudi Arabia. This study presents a chronological assessment of the corpus, drawing on superimpositions, datable motifs, inscriptions, and varnish formation,

Competition and payments to African chiefs on the Gold Coast during the slave trade, 1679‒1704
Abstract The manuscript records of the Royal African Company show that the Company paid African chiefs for access to trade along the caravan routes on the Gold Coast in the seventeenth century. This paper documents and examines these payments. Using an event study, I establish that after the Glorious Revolution in 1688 when the Company's monopoly in ...

Towards a Full Quantum Theory of Black Holes [PDF]
This review gives an introduction to various attempts to understand the quantum nature of black holes. The first part focuses on thermodynamics of black holes, Hawking radiation, and the interpretation of entropy.

From black strings to fundamental strings: non-uniformity and phase transitions
We discuss the transition between black strings and fundamental strings in the presence of a compact dimension, S z 1 $$ {\mathbbm{S}}_z^1 $$ . In particular, we study the Horowitz-Polchinski effective field theory in ℝ d × S z 1 $$ {\mathbb{R}}^d\times {

Boosts, Schwarzschild Black Holes and Absorption cross-sections in M theory [PDF]
$D$ dimensional neutral black strings wrapped on a circle are related to $(D-1)$ dimensional charged black holes by boosts. We show that the boost has to be performed in the covering space and the boosted coordinate has to be compactified on a circle ...
