Composing senselessness: Autoethnography after homicide

Anthropology and Humanism, EarlyView.
Abstract Not all narratives create meaning, or create the same kinds of meaning; instead, some stories amplify meaninglessness, which—it is argued—is its own form of sense‐making. This article examines how meaning is formulated through narrative in the absence of a meaningful death, specifically in the context of a motiveless murder.

Indigenous Natures and the Anthropocene: Racial Capitalism, Violent Materialities, and the Colonial Politics of Representation

Antipode, EarlyView.
Abstract Indigenous Peoples are gaining renewed attention within both policy and academia, as examples of “resilience” and of non‐humanist, non‐modern ways of relating to nature, which might, it is hoped, provide tools to withstand the socio‐ecological crises associated with “the Anthropocene”.

Phenomenological modelling of eclipsing system light curves

, 2015
The observed light curves of most eclipsing binaries and stars with transiting planets can be well described and interpreted by current advanced physical models which also allow for the determination of many physical parameters of eclipsing systems ...

Should more teams “trust the process” of tanking?

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract In many professional sport leagues, the worst‐performing teams receive higher probability of earning top draft picks. This provides teams incentives to purposefully lose, or “tank,” if they are not likely to contend for the playoffs or championships.

Period change of massive binaries from combined photometric and spectroscopic data in Cygnus OB2

, 2015
Context. Mass loss is an important property in evolution models of massive stars. As up to 90% of the massive stars have a visual or spectroscopic companion and many of them exhibit mass exchange, mass-loss rates can be acquired through the period study ...

Photometric Analysis of the Cataclysmic Variable Star LT Eri

The Astronomical Journal
LT Eri is a long-period eclipsing cataclysmic variable star (CV). This study investigates its outbursts, negative superhumps (NSHs), tilted-disk precession, eclipse-depth variations, and observed minus calculated ( O – C ) behavior, using photometric ...
