The Russian Review, EarlyView.Abstract The analysis of Lenin’s language and rhetoric undertaken by the leading representatives of Russian Formalism in the pages of the journal LEF in early 1924 represents more than a tactical attempt to align Formalism with the mainstream of Bolshevik culture‐building in the context of the Soviet 1920s.

The Scholar Imprisoned: Young‐Bok Shin's Decolonial Thought Against (Sub) Imperialisms in East Asia
Sociological Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article reads Young‐Bok Shin (1941–2016) as a decolonial thinker who theorized transformative worldmaking from the standpoint of the oppressed, rooted in the historical experiences of East Asia. Against the (sub)imperial “logic of sameness” that structures colonial modernity in his social world, Shin advances gongbu (studying) as a ...

Pseudoscience and the Claim of Practical Utility: The Case of Thomas Erikson's Surrounded by Idiots
Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It has been suggested that, by definition, pseudoscientists must assert that their theories are scientific or represent the best available knowledge. However, in business consultation and self‐help literature, pseudoscientists do not often make such strong claims. Instead, they commonly appeal to the practical utility of their theories.

3D‐Printed Serial Snap‐Through Architectures for Programmable Mechanical Response
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.A serial snap‐through architecture is realized using compact 3D‐printed von Mises truss units arranged in a staged cascade. Their geometry and boundary conditions program multistage mechanical responses with plateaux and re‐hardening regimes. An inverted‐compliance model predicts these behaviors and enables analytical design of programmable force ...

Bioinspired Fabric Ligament with Tunable Stiffness for Reproducing 3D Lumbar Spine Kinematics
Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.A bioinspired fabric ligament (BFL) is proposed based on the hierarchical structure and material properties of native spinal ligaments. The proposed BFLs reproduce the nonlinear force–displacement behavior and tunable stiffness characteristics. Integrating BFLs with 3D printed bioinspired vertebrae and intervertebral disc (IVD), a bioinspired lumbar ...

A Case for Contingent Absurdity
European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 266-280, March 2026.Abstract A popular view on existential absurdity holds that if life is absurd, it must be inescapably so. In opposition to this view, I argue that the concept of existential absurdity allows for life to be contingently absurd. In Nausea (1938) and Being and Nothingness (1943), Jean‐Paul Sartre puts forward two distinct conceptions of an absurd life ...
