Boredom, despondency, and the scourge that lays waste at noon: an anthropology of acedia Ennui, abattement et le fléau qui frappe à midi : une anthropologie de l'acédie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Attentive to the ways that inertia can take hold of life, Catholic monks recognize despondency as a potential not only within the monastery, but in contemporary society more widely. Such experiences are regularly mapped onto an understanding of what early Christian monks termed ‘acedia’ (a Greek term that can be translated as ‘lack of care’). Taking as

Black holes at accelerators [PDF]

, 2005
In theories with large extra dimensions and TeV-scale gravity, black holes are copiously produced in particle collisions at energies well above the Planck scale.

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...

Hidden sectors in string theory: kinetic mixings, fifth forces and quintessence

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Light moduli fields in string compactifications can have interesting implications for particle physics and cosmology. Fifth force bounds impose stringent constraints on the interactions of such moduli with the visible sector.

When Urgency Drops: Temporal Consciousness and the Choreography of Dying

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the hospital, the transition from fighting for life to preparing for death involves not only a shift in medical repertoires but also a profound transformation in temporal experience. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a Canadian intensive care unit, this article examines how the tempo of care, its rhythms, urgencies, and pauses shapes ...

Searching for axion-like particles with proton tagging at the LHC

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
The existence of an axion-like particle (ALP) would induce anomalous scattering of light by light. This process can be probed at the Large Hadron Collider in central exclusive production of photon pairs in proton-proton collisions by tagging the ...

Flavordynamics with Conformal Matter and Gauge Theories on Compact Hyperbolic Manifolds in Extra Dimensions [PDF]

, 2001
We outline a toy model in which a unique mechanism may trigger a dynamical chain resulting in key low-energy regularities. The starting points are a negative cosmological term in the bulk and conformally invariant nongravity sector. These elements ensure
