When Thriving for More Collapses the System: The Academic Reproduction of Uncaring Structures

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay argues that the widening gap between aspirational aims and visionary orientations and the prevailing practices in neoliberal academia stems from deeper, historically rooted, market‐based logics shaping our institutions, increasingly governed by economic values and academic subjectivities therein.

Cosmological parameters [PDF]

Second international workshop on particle physics and the early universe (COSMO-98), 1999
The discussion of cosmological parameters used to be a source of embarrassment to cosmologists. Today, measurements of the cosmological parameters are leading the way into the era of precision cosmology. The CMB temperature is measured to four significant figures, T_0=2.7277+/-0.002 K; the Hubble constant is now determined with a reliable error ...

Unmanagement Education for the Age of Climate Crisis

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how embodied, situated and relational experiences outside‐the‐classroom can open space for epistemic dislocations in Management Education under conditions of ecological crisis. Drawing on a qualitative pedagogical experience in a sustainability course in Brazil, informed by Design‐Based Research—whose assumptions of control,

Supergravity and cosmology [PDF]

Proceedings of 2nd World Summit: Exploring the Dark Side of the Universe — PoS(EDSU2018), 2001
For cosmology we need General Relativity. Supergravity is the next natural step after General Relativity. Superstring theory is believed to be the most fundamental theory we know. However, string theory has an emergent concept of space-time. To use it in the context of the 4-dimensional General Relativity and cosmology requires many intermediate steps.

Mortal relationality: waria family care and the ethics of dying in Bali Relationnalité mortelle : soins familiaux des waria et éthique des mourants à Bali

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Can a good death occur for those who balance on the edges of grievability? In Bali, where death marks a transition within the cycles of reincarnation, a good death depends on the mortuary care performed by intimate others – care that may be foreclosed to those whose lives are shaped by stigma.

Amplitude basis for conformal correlators

Journal of High Energy Physics
We present a classification of conformally-invariant three-point tensor structures in d dimensions that parallels the classification of three-particle scattering amplitudes in d + 1 dimensions.

THE COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT [PDF]

String Phenomenology, 2003
Various contributions to the cosmological constant are discussed and confronted with its recent measurement. We briefly review different scenarious -- and their difficulties -- for a solution of the cosmological constant problem.

Equal before time: on the sensory suspension of accumulated time in Sichuan, China Égaux devant le temps : suspension sensorielle du temps accumulé au Sichuan (Chine)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Food and alcohol indulgence, along with tea‐drinking, gambling, and gossip, are integral to a characteristically Sichuanese ethos of ‘life enjoyment’ (xiangshou shenghuo). Beyond mere pleasure, sensory, ludic, and comic experiences temporarily strip participants of both their formal and subjective qualities.

The Big Picture: Religion and Global Comparative History

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
This article considers what a ‘big picture’ approach to global religious history might look like, and in particular the implications of deploying the comparative method across much larger stretches of time and space than historians normally attend to. It will begin by reflecting on the epistemological moods that have hindered this project to date, the ...

Dynamical tidal response of Schwarzschild Black Holes

Journal of High Energy Physics
Dynamical Love numbers capture the conservative response of an object to a time-dependent external tidal gravitational field. We compute the dynamical Love numbers of Schwarzschild black holes in general relativity within a point-particle effective field
