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.

Cosmological Redshift Distortion of Correlation Functions as a Probe of the Density Parameter and the Cosmological Constant

, 2007
We propose cosmological redshift-space distortion of correlation functions of galaxies and quasars as a useful probe of both the density parameter\Omega 0 and the cosmological constant 0 .

Scrutinizing exotic cosmological models using ESSENCE Supernova data combined with other cosmological probes [PDF]

, 2007
The first cosmological results from the ESSENCE supernova survey (Wood‐Vasey and coworkers) are extended to a wider range of cosmological models including dynamical dark energy and nonstandard cosmological models.

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 ...

On Bianchi Type Cosmological Models in Lyra's Geometry [PDF]

, 2014
Bianchi type cosmological models have been studied on the basis of Lyra's geometry. Exact solution has been obtained by considering a time dependent displacement field for constant deceleration parameter and varying cosmological term of the universe.

GHOSTLY ENCOUNTERS IN LAGOS: Virtual Reality between Urban Marketing and Media Activism

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the role of virtual reality (VR) technologies in mediating and contesting dominant visions of urban futures in West Africa. Drawing on theoretical insights from a hybridization of the work of the German‐born Jewish critic Walter Benjamin and the Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola, I introduce the concept of phantasmagoria as a ...

Inflation in an Inhomogeneous Cosmology

, 1995
We present results on the non-linear dynamics of a wide class of inhomogeneous cosmological models with irrotational dust and vanishing magnetic part of the Weyl tensor, with a cosmological constant Lambda > 0.

Building the cosmological models vs. different models of set theory [PDF]

, 2015
We use the ‘local weakening of logic in a space-time’ as a mathematical tool suitable also for building cosmological models. One obtains the extensions of the regular space-time solutions of Einstein equations towards solutions with certain space-time ...

COSMOLOGICAL MARKINGS AND ERASURES: The Political Theology of State‐Led Gentrification and Heritagization

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article investigates the symbolic politics of state‐led gentrification and heritagization, focusing on how these processes serve to ‘glorify’ state power. Drawing on Agamben's political theology, Bourdieu's notion of symbolic power and space, and political heritage studies, we argue that the symbolic politics of state glorification can ...

Late Antique Allāh: Ancestral Arabian Religion and the Monotheistic Zeitgeist

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay addresses the ongoing scholarly tension between the monotheistic interpretations of late pre‐Islamic Arabian religion, pioneered by G. Hawting and P. Crone, and the traditional accounts of rampant Arabian polytheism found in later Islamic literary sources.
