ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...

Comparative Framing From Below: How Young People in Three Cities Interpret Cyber Dating Abuse by Drawing Boundaries Between Love, Harm, and Justice

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As digital technologies become embedded in everyday life, interpersonal violence increasingly takes place in cyberspace.

Valorizing Erasure: Imperial Knowledge Production in Anglo‐American Coverage of Chad's ‘Toyota War’

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How does imperial knowledge production operate when Western media coverage of a Global South subject is predominantly admiring instead of hostile? This article addresses that question through critical discourse analysis of sixty‐three Anglo‐American news articles covering the Chad‐Libya conflict of the 1980s, the ‘Toyota War’.

The Training Complex: Shattering of the Coniunctio, Boundary Violation, and Sibling Turbulence on the Horizontal Plane

Journal of Analytical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores what is happening, for a trainee, when an ethical boundary violation occurs by the analyst with a fellow peer in training. I am approaching this through the Jungian concept of the alchemical vas as I attempt to make meaning of a catastrophic collapse of the analytic work.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Full‐length transcriptome profiling of true bug mitochondrial genomes reveals the unique transcriptional regulation during insect evolution

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The mitogenome was transcribed into complete primary polycistrons on both strands. The heteropteran mitochondrial transcription termination factor (HmTTF) functions as a bidirectional attenuator rather than a terminator, and co‐evolution of HmTTF and the binding sites was observed.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
