Exploring colonial anxiety in the poetry and prose of Yi Sang by Soh, Gail

“…The rest of this essay will be focused on this newfound awareness of the writers and poets of Korea, particularly of Yi Sang’s, whose expression of modernist sentiments under the guise of part-fiction and part-autobiography will began his literary legacy with his prose and poetic works that became more modern that the oeuvre of anyone else in Korea ever since. Using material from Yi Sang, ultimately, this essay seeks to show how Yi Sang’s work decisively and liberally transgresses the relatively staunch decorum of poetry that readers are accustomed to, and is in fact more delightful and powerful as an afterthought – an influence that lingers to this day. …”

Parameter study of the strength reduction factor of axially loaded tubular K-joints by Cao, Yu

“…Based on the new deformation limit, a tension-to-compression factor is validated, of which helps the definition of tension ultimate strength for uncrack K-joints. Effect of Gap is else studied. In the discussion of cracked K-joints, two reduction formulas are deducted with the reference of BS7910:2005 for simple calculation of ultimate strength for cracked tubular K-joints.…”

Christianity’s role in colonial and revolutionary Haiti 1 (Article Commentary) by Edwards, Erica Johnson

“…In the lead up to her confirmation, while senators and the media focused heavily on her Catholic faith, some on social media drew attention to the two Haitian children she and her husband adopted following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.2 The connections between Coney-Barret’s Christianity and the Haitian earthquake recalled Pat Robertson’s controversial claim that the earthquake was caused by a Haitian “pact with the devil” during the Haitian Revolution.3 Whatever else one might say about Robertson’s comments, they show his ignorance of the important but little-known role Christianity and the Catholic clergy played in eighteenth-century colonial Haiti.…”
