Black Body Memory: A Philosophy of the Talk
<p>This project offers the term Black body memory to point toward the threatened existential disposition of Black people in society today. Moreover, Black body memory points to the narrative paradigm of a shared experience. While popular conceptions theorize race as a social construction, the lived …

Whiteness and the Return of the "Black Body"
… project is to theorize and understand Black embodiment within the context of white hegemony, that is, within the context of a white racist anti-Black world. I theorize the Black body as a site of lived historicity vis-á-vis whiteness as the transcendental signified or as that which …

"Beyond Consolation": Or Strangeness, Estrangement, and Strange-ing in the Elegy for the Black Body, 1955-Present
<p>The Elegy for the Black Body examines the mid-twentieth to early-twenty-first-century poetic justice crafted by African American poets to eulogize individual African Americans whose deaths were the result of racial and political violence. In the age of lynching, mass shooting, and police …

The Black Body in Arctic Space: Revisioning Racialised Landscapes in the Films of John Akomfrah and Isaac Julien
… the colonial encounter; is the placement of the black body within what Jen Hill terms the ‘heart of whiteness’ (2008: 1) playing with the notion of what appears incongruous in a landscape? Does the visual and conceptual black-white binary – a prominent feature in both films – function as Marc …

Quasiparticle beam profile measurements in superfluid helium 3 - B
… thesis, the quasiparticle beam profile from a Black-Body radiator and a vibrating wire resonator is measured using a quasiparticle camera which consists of 25 tuning forks. The vibrating wire resonator is found to have a very thinly spread beam at velocities slightly higher than the …

Inheritance of resistance to selected pyrethroid insecticides in <i>Blattella germanica</i> (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)
… monofactorial character, not linked with the black body or orange body mutants that identify linkage groups 4 and 6. The trait was found to be incompletely recessive with a degree of dominance of -0.57. It was established that the gene is probably separate and distinct from the known trait …

Black Bodies in the Open City: Precarity and Belonging in the work of Teju Cole
… through which to read Cole’s representations of black bodies as they move across space. By presenting the ‘black body’, rather than ‘black man’, as the preferred metonym for black people, Cole’s work, which I argue can be read as peculiar travel narratives, foregrounds the bodily dimension of …

Visualisation of quantum turbulence in superfluid 3He-B using a novel 2D quasiparticle detector
… the detector response to beams generated by the black-body radiator and source wire were performed. We observe that the beam generated by a black-body radiator appears approximately symmetric, consistent with being emitted from a point-source of excitations. In addition to this we find that the …

Acting Black: An Analysis of Blackness and Criminality in Film
… will attempt to answer how films deal with blackness and crime, specifically when intersecting with the concepts of exploitation, appropriation, whiteness and the criminality of the black body. While not entirely the root of the negative perceptions of African-Americans in the United States, …

Model of reflectance of thermophotovoltaic cell and cold plate
… grid storage system. The emitter is modeled as a black body emitter. Improving the efficiency of the system requires high reflectance below the bandgap energy of the cells, and high absorption above the bandgap. The matrix transfer method is used to predict the total reflectance of the cell, and …

Computing Radiation Exchange
… a net thermal radiation surface data field - the black body radiative effluxes as functions of temperature, less the integrated influxes multiplied by their geometric view factors from other surface cells. An algorithm to compute blocking, or "shadowing" of surfaces is presented and demonstrated …

Bending Family Friendly into Fear: Nostalgia, Minstrelsy and Horror in Bendy and the Ink Machine
… Ink Machine does this by making the bending of Black bodies visible through what I call the gameic gaze. The transformation from family friendly into fear happens through the resistive gaze, the gameic gaze, which lingers on the bending of the diegetic cartoons. Bendy and the Ink Machine …

Conditions for observing IR chemiluminescence and the role of condensation in metal oxidation reactions
… was greater 1010 3 than ~ cm-sec-I, then only ""black body"" radiation could be seen from the reaction. Most of the studies were on the Li/I2 system which is unique in that the phase diagrams of Li and LiI in the P-T ranges of interest are almost identical. This property permitted a relatively …

When the "Unprotected" Body Speaks: The Narratives of Nineteenth-Century Black Females in the Caribbean and the United States
… comparative study is first to acknowledge the Black female author's inclusion in the burgeoning literary marketplace of the nineteenth century, and second, to reinstate her in the scholarship of sentimental writings. I will focus on two representative texts from the English-speaking Caribbean: …

Working on my hair: a visual analysis of natural hair and Black women professionals in popular television programming
I examine the representations of Black women characters in professional settings on seven television drama texts. Black features are subjected to Eurocentering—the reduction of racial heritage markers to align with Eurocentric values—to protect hegemonic traditions under the guise of racial …
