In the Interwar period, József Reményi (1891–1956) and Áron Tamási (1897–1966) wrote fiction about the experience of Hungarian immigrants in the USA. Reményi immigrated before WWI and made his residence permanent after his naturalization, whereas Tamási moved to the USA in 1923 but returned to his homeland in 1926. The paper contrasts their personal experiences as immigrants in America, discusses their descriptions of Hungarian immigrant life in general, and analyzes their representation strategies. In their representations of the immigrant experience, family relationships, cultural community, language, race, and the motivation to undergo a spiritual quest are all central. Their narrative techniques are somewhat innovative and characterized by discontinuity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on ways in which ecology and race inflect one another in the British archipelago allows for new understandings of national identity and belonging in nineteenth-century literature. It mentions Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" as a case study in exploring the possibilities which arise from understanding how native English ecology is linked to a racialized. It also mentions structure conceptions of identity and belonging through a process of naturalization.

Citizenship acquisition is often promoted as one factor that can facilitate the economic integration of immigrants. However, not all individuals and groups experience positive benefits from naturalization. This article argues that social distance from the native-born is an important factor that influences who does and does not benefit from citizenship acquisition. Specifically, I create a new continuous measure of social distance for immigrants during the age of mass migration. I show that the relationship between social distance and the economic returns to citizenship takes an inverted U-shape. Those considered closest and furthest away in social distance to the native-born report little to no advantages to citizenship, while those in the middle report larger returns. I then focus on the Mexican population in the historical Southwest and take advantage of a unique enumeration in the complete count 1930 U.S. census that coded Mexicans as either white or Mexican. Mexicans coded as white report economic differences between citizenship statuses, while Mexicans coded as nonwhite report no difference between citizenship statuses. The results suggest that citizenship may not be beneficial to all individuals and groups, depending on where they fall in the ethnoracial hierarchy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Horticulture is a major pathway of introduction of aquatic plants. Among traded aquatic plants, we found two species belonging to the genus Lagarosiphon Harv. (Hydrocharitaceae), native to South and Central Africa, L. major (Ridl.) Moss and L. cordofanus Casp. L. major is the main representative of the genus, having already been introduced via horticulture sale beyond its native range, and often becoming invasive. In contrast, L. cordofanus is a lesser-known congener that could be potentially sold as an alternative to L. major. It is relatively understudied, and has yet to be recorded in the wild outside its native range. Many factors can promote the invasiveness of an alien plant; among them, increased nutrient availability often facilitates opportunistic alien species such as L. major. In a horizon-scanning perspective, a manipulative experiment under controlled conditions was performed to test the response of L. cordofanus to different trophy levels using L. major as the tolerant alternative species. According to our results, the naturalization of L. cordofanus in temperate shallow waters does not seem likely, especially if considered in comparison to L. major. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hungary has a unique role in international migration. The research introduces the facts and figures about foreign-born population in Hungary, focusing on migrants arriving to Hungary from the Carpathian Basin and their geographical networks, revealing the source areas of migration. The analysis interprets those involved in international migration in broad terms; as such, it is not focused solely on the movements of foreign citizens, but rather examines the effects of migration together with the naturalized Hungarians born abroad.

Much philosophical attention has been devoted to the truth predicates of natural language and their logic. However, lexical truth predicates are neither necessary nor sufficient for a truth-attribution to occur, which warrants closer attention to the grammar of truth attribution. A unified analysis of five constructions is offered here, in two of which the lexical truth predicate occurs (It's true that John left and That John left is true), while in the three remaining, it does not (John left; It seems that John left; and It's that John left). This analysis is philosophically significant for four reasons. First, it explains why speakers of natural language find standard instances of Tarski-inspired equivalences (e.g. That John left is true iff John left) intuitively compelling. Second, it derives the widespread 'deflationist' intuition that truth has no substantive content. Third, insofar as the deflationist sees insights on truth as flowing from understanding our practice of truth attribution, it furthers the deflationist agenda through a new analysis of such attributions. Finally, it advances the philosophical project of the 'naturalization' of truth by reducing our understanding of truth to our competence in the grammar of truth, as an aspect of our biological endowment.

Existing literature examines how different immigrant attributes influence support for admission and naturalisation, but few studies consider how they affect support for deportation. Naturalisation and deportation follow distinct logics, with the former marking full inclusion into the nation and the latter involving complete exclusion. Citizens are likely to include (through naturalisation) immigrants who have economic and cultural attributes that aid host country integration but will not necessarily exclude (through deportation) immigrants without such traits. Instead, deportation may be reserved for immigrants who have broken rules by entering illegally or overstaying visas. We test our expectations through a survey experiment in which respondents were asked whether hypothetical immigrants already living in the United States should be granted citizenship, allowed to stay without citizenship, or deported. An immigrant's legal status strongly influenced respondents' support for both naturalisation and deportation, while economic and cultural characteristics primarily affected support for naturalisation. Host society integration, including an immigrant's intention to vote if granted citizenship, increased support for naturalisation. Republicans were substantially more likely to deport and less likely to naturalise any hypothetical immigrant. Our findings highlight the need for more research on the factors that shape attitudes toward deportation as a distinct immigration outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on Tao Jiang's monograph on the "Origins of Moral-Political Philosophy in Early China" specifically examining the concepts of toleration and justice in the "Laozi" (otherwise called the Daodejing. It discusses the naturalization of justice in the Laozi; highlighting both negative and positive expressions of toleration that contribute to the shaping of society without discrimination; and positioning toleration as a form of naturalized justice in the Laozian ideal world.

In this paper, we examine the metaphilosophical relevance of the phenomenon of sleep, suggesting that it has the potential to not only enrich the analysis of limit cases but also to test some of the ideas concerning the possibility of naturalizing phenomenology and its limits. Insofar as sleeping allows for both a first personal and a third personal description and challenges the usual primacy of the first-person point of view, exploring sleeping under the prism of its import for the phenomenological method allows to illuminate the relationships between a first personal transcendental phenomenology and a third personal naturalized one. We do this by examining Husserl’s treatment of sleep as a limit-case, and the problem of accounting for deep sleep from a first-personal perspective. Drawing from a Heidegger-inspired account of sleep, we argue that sleep demands for a type of approach that can be fairly described as ontological, and which reveals a new understanding of subjectivity as a dynamic unity of different modes of being. Although this approach challenges a first-personal based approach, it does not, however support the naturalization of phenomenology or undermine the project of a transcendental philosophy of experience.

Lysichiton americanus is a robust rhizomatous plant native to the Pacific part of North America. This species was introduced to Europe in Great Britain at the beginning of the 20th century and since then, due to its aesthetic value, it has been used as an ornamental plant in numerous European countries. Since then and after numerous introductions, established populations of this plant have been reported in 9 European countries. It was classified by the European Union as an invasive non-native plant species. The current study describes the first record of a wild-growing population of L. americanus in Poland. It was found in an overgrown former pond, neglected for about 50 years, near the rural park located in the Sudetes Mountains (south-west Poland). Apart from its distribution, its phytosociological affiliation and status in the Polish flora are also described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Studies have reported a total of 326 naturalized plant species in the South Korea; however, research on the distribution of naturalized plants across the island regions has not been conducted. The objectives were to analyse the distribution of naturalized plants in these island regions, which is an ecologically vulnerable space. A total of 113 islands – 53 inhabited and 60 uninhabited – with > 100 native species were selected for this study, and a list of 321 naturalized species was compiled based on available literature. The relative frequency of occurrence and ratio of naturalized plants to native plants was calculated for each species. There were 184 species of naturalized plants found distributed in the island regions, 10 of which are invasive. Four species had high relative frequencies of occurrence (> 0.5) but accounted for only 2.2% of naturalized plants in the regions. All islands shared 15 of the 20 most common species, but the remaining five were specific to individual islands. This approach shows promise for future monitoring of the naturalized species distribution. Currently, the Korean government (Ministry of Environment) has established the second invasive species management plan at the national level (2019~2023). Species that have not yet been introduced to South Korea and those that have already migrated and have settled are managed separately. Because island areas are geographically isolated, the impact on existing native plants may be more extreme than on land if exotic plants are introduced. In this regard, the importance of managing the island area is further emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The English title of Alain Corbin's classic study The Foul and the Fragrant hits the nail on the head: Smells are commonly characterized as evoking strong emotions and are highly dichotomized. They are perceived either as pleasant for the person smelling them, or as stinking, penetrating, and disgusting. This article explores the background of the dichotomy of olfactory emotions, focusing on the field of commerce and the significance of odors in early modern Warenkunden—books consisting of lists of commodities detailing their characteristics and quality. Analyzing how smells were described in this context can, on the one hand, further reveal the historical process of the naturalization of the dichotomy triggering a ref lection on its impact on the use of the emotional capacities of smell for social discrimination. On the other hand, it shows that the olfactory worlds of pre-modern commodity practices and commodity knowledge were considerably more complex. Historical sources can thus help to elaborate alternatives to the emotional and analytical dichotomization of olfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 1923 naturalization case, United States v Bhagat Singh Thind (Thind), has become a flashpoint for multiple analyses of South Asian racialization in the United States, at times positioned as evidence of Asian exclusion and eventual triumph and, at others, an attempt to "claim whiteness" and inclusion through leveraging racist and casteist ideologies. The centenary of Thind offers an opportunity to revisit the case itself as well as take up broader questions regarding migration, citizenship, caste, racialization, and naturalization. We open our introduction by examining a public commemoration of Thind alongside the recent legal recognition of caste discrimination in the city of Seattle. Through this discussion, we aim to disrupt linear narratives of progress, move beyond methodological nationalism, question the workings of multiculturalism and concomitant erasures, and take account of uneven locations of legal and social citizenship that mark our understandings of the case. Finally, before introducing the issue contents, we situate Thind in the historical and legal context of the "Asiatic question" in early twentieth century United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the legal case of United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923), where the Supreme Court of the United States addresses questions regarding the eligibility of a high-caste Hindu, born in India, as a "white person" for naturalization under section 2169 of the Revised Statutes, examining the concept of race and its implications for citizenship eligibility.

The article reports on a legal case involving Bhagat Singh Thind's application for US citizenship as a high-caste Hindu of Indian origin, examining questions about his classification as a "white person" under Section 2169 Revised Statutes and the implications of the 1917 Immigration Act on his eligibility for naturalization, along with the opinions and arguments presented in the case.

The article focuses on a legal case involving the United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind, which revolves around questions regarding the classification of a high-caste Hindu from India as a "white person" for naturalization purposes, delving into the historical context, legislative interpretations and societal notions of race and identity during that period.

Val Plumwood charged classical logic not only with the invalidity of some of its laws, but also with the support of systemic oppression through naturalization of the logical structure of dualisms. In this paper I show that the latter charge - unlike the former - can be carried over to classical mathematics, and I propose a new conception of inconsistent mathematics - queer incomaths - as a liberatory activity meant to undermine said naturalization.

We studied the distribution and relationship with the indigenous supra-littoral species of the North Atlantic species Cakile edentula (Bigelow) Hook. along the eastern coast of Primorye Territory. The C. edentula annual community usually occupies sandy beaches and outer ribs of front dunes free of vegetation. This species is also associated with different plant communities of beaches and dunes: Salsoletum komarovii, Elymo–Caricetum kobomugi, Elymo–Caricetum pumilae, Artemisio stellerianae–Leymetum mollis, and Leymo mollis–Glehnietum littoralis. Furthermore, it forms short-lived communities with Jacobea psedoarnica, Lathyrus japonicus, and Rosa rugosa in some parts of the coast, and also communities with Phragmites australis on salt marshes in the Tumen River estuarine zone. We investigated the functional traits of C. edentula leaves: volume of mesophyll cell, the number of chloroplasts per mm2 of leaf surface, the ratio of the total surface area cells to the unit leaf area (Ames/A), the total number of chloroplasts per cell. The high values of the integral parameters of С. edentula leaf mesophyll are quite comparable to those of desert halophytes and 1.5–4 times higher than the values reported for several of the Northeast Asian coastal species such as Artemisia stelleriana, Chorisis repens, Glehnia littoralis, Jacobea pseudoarnica, Lathyrus japonicus, et al. According to its ecological strategy, C. edentula can be attributed to ruderal–stress-tolerant (RS) species. This study was based on standard phytosociological and physiological methods with examination of quantitative leaf anatomy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the naturalization of alien plants cultivated at the Caucasian flora exhibition in the Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Naturalized and nonnaturalized species were compared to identify traits contributing to a potentially successful invasion. Over the period of 76 years, 1246 taxa were intentionally introduced; of them, 57 species (4.5%) have successfully naturalized, while 12 species (less than 1%) have actually "escaped" beyond the boundaries of the exhibition. Poor maintenance of the plant collection in the 1990s facilitated the spread of resistant unpretentious plants. A revision performed in 2020 showed that 17 more species have entered the naturalization phase. Species of the families Apiaceae and Boraginaceae demonstrate the highest degrees of naturalization. Natural regeneration was recorded for 440 species. The greatest number of naturalized taxa (19%) are represented by plants propagating both vegetatively and by self-seeding. Of species propagating only by self-seeding, 16% have naturalized; of those propagating only vegetatively, only 6%. Representatives of subalpine tall grasses and forest communities of the Caucasus adapted to the conditions of Moscow to the greatest extent. None of species confined to semideserts, arid sparse forests, upland xerophytic communities, steppes, alpine meadows, high-altitude rocks and screes, and subtropical forests of Colchis and Talysh became invasive. Short-rhizome and long-rhizome perennial herbaceous plants prevail among the naturalized species. The common opinion that the introduction of endemic plants is a difficult process was not confirmed. Endemic plants are insignificantly inferior to plants with wide distribution ranges in terms of the proportion of naturalized species, but surpass them in terms of the numbers of highly invasive and invasive species. A set of traits indicating with a high probability that an intentionally introduced plant species can transform into an invader was identified. The invasiveness of Caucasian species was analyzed; the results of analysis will be used to prevent the introduction of aggressive alien plants and develop a scientifically based approach to exhibition of plants.

This essay explores the connection in Daniel Defoe's writing between naturalization as a civic concept and naturalization as an epistemological or literary-critical process. For Defoe, the incorporation of new subjects was a moral project that entailed the literary interpellation of a more productive, tolerant and empowered populace. A history of his efforts to encourage immigration by broadening access to legal citizenship provides, then, not just crucial insight into his view of the national political community but points to the role his satire, journalism and novels might play in bringing subjects together in its formation. In pursuit of this history, I trace Defoe's approach to naturalization to The True-born Englishman (1700), the poem that established his reputation as an advocate for immigration reform. I then track Defoe's activism in favour of The Foreign Protestants Naturalization Act (7 Anne c. 5) before its passage in March 1709 and after its repeal in 1711 (10 Anne c. 9), as debate turned to the fate of successive alien populations: Huguenot and Palatine refugees and England's Jews. These debates provide an important new context for Defoe's final novel, The Fortunate Mistress [Roxana] (1724). Attention to the ways Defoe deployed poetry and prose fiction during them reveals how questions of admission and assimilation underpinned his polemical strategy as a popular author and signalled the importance of his work to the history of modern citizenship.

Since the late colonial period, Myanmar has experienced heated debates over notions of belonging, including belonging as inscribed through citizenship status. At independence, Myanmar opted for a hybrid citizenship regime that allowed for paths to citizenship based on both jus sanguinis and jus soli principles, as well as a liberal naturalization policy. However, a new citizenship law passed in 1982 created a tiered system with differential eligibility, rights, and application procedures for jus sanguinis and jus soli pathways, highly restricting the jus soli path to citizenship while privileging state-recognized ethnic groups by strengthening jus sanguinis pathways. The article traces the historical evolution of Myanmar's postcolonial citizenship regime and how notions of belonging, foreignness, and nativity engendered one of the world's most racialized citizenship regimes. A close examination of the citizenship regime highlights how citizenship and belonging for Myanmar's 'unofficial minorities' are both contingent and 'in process', often a status left pending rather than denied or secured. This creates a 'deferred citizenship' which impacts not only individual applicants and their descendants but perpetuates Myanmar's exclusionary and tiered citizenship system, ensuring that the 'citizenship question' is passed to the next generation.

The habitual residence is one of the most important standards in private international law, as it has been used in several fields at the national and international levels, as it replaced the domicile and nationality, being more flexible and open to the needs of individuals, until it became a key attribution officer to determine international jurisdiction and determine the applicable law in many national legislation and international conventions.

Naturalized plants play pivotal roles in local plant biodiversity and ecological functions; however, the drivers of naturalization remain poorly understood at a fine scale. Thus, understanding the processes of the development and dominance of alien plants in local natural habitats is of paramount importance. In the present study, we report for the first time the naturalization of Cydonia oblonga in China based on community structure and population dynamics at a fine scale. We conducted a comprehensive survey of the species through field community investigations, interviews, and a literature review. Cydonia oblonga is an ancient fruit tree with a long introduction history of over 4500 years worldwide and a cultivation history of over 2500 years in China. We analyzed C. oblonga community structure using the spatiotemporal substitution method and quantitatively analyzed population dynamics using a static life table, survivorship curve, and time series model to explore the naturalization processes. The following results were obtained. (i) The community comprised 31 coexisting vascular plant species (16 woody and 15 herbaceous species) belonging to 28 genera in 20 families. Rosaceae and Asteraceae were the two most dominant families. (ii) All individuals in the shrub layer as well as the C. oblonga population exhibited a roughly inverted J‐shaped basal diameter distribution. A complete age structure was noted, and the survival curve was classified as Deevey type II. According to time series analysis, the population is estimated to increase in the future, specifically of medium and large individuals. (iii) Religious exchange, potent resource competitiveness, and similarity with the native habitat may be the major drivers of the introduction and successful naturalization of C. oblonga. These results suggest that alien species closely related to native ones are more likely to invade, naturalize, and dominate communities in local habitats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Confrontation with violence in intimate relationships requires interpretive categories and approaches that can be measured against the complexity of the phenomenon and the pervasiveness of the culture that it stems from. A critical reflection on the social construct of masculinity can prevent the neutralization of violence or its naturalization: two aspects of the more general tendency to remove it from our 'normality'. An analysis of the public discourse on violence shows that even institutional interventions of contrast and media narratives, while condemning abusive and violent behavior, reproduce and convey stereotypical representations that are the substrate on which they grow. In this context, there is a need for reflection on the social responsibility of psychoanalytic thinking as 'expert knowledge', which society turns to in order to interpret conflicts and contradictions whose vulgate often proposes models based on complementarity between functions attributed to the two sexes, stiffening experiences, conflicts and perceptions of change.

In the last several years, the AKP government in Turkey has granted exceptional citizenship to more than 200,000 Syrian refugees and 19,000 foreign investors, mostly from the Middle East. This study defines the AKP's recent policy of granting exceptional citizenship as an illiberal inclusion, which is a mode of neoliberal and particularistic inclusion without extending the eligibility and rights of regular migrants and refugees. By means of exceptional citizenship, the AKP transforms the politics of granting particularistic access to Turkish citizenship, from one characterized by an ethno-religious inclusion towards another defined by more explicit religious inclusion entangled with its neo-Ottomanist domestic and foreign policy goals. The study also suggests that the current state of granting exceptional citizenship is intermingled with the AKP's authoritarian neoliberalism, and the structural centralization of executive power under the current presidential system.

This article distinguishes between two different kinds of biological normativity. One is the 'objective' biological normativity of biological units discussed in anglophone philosophy of biology on the naturalization of such notions as function and pathology. The other is a 'subjective' biological normativity of the biological subject discussed in the continental tradition of Canguilhem and Goldstein. The existence of these two distinct kinds of biological normativity calls for a closer philosophical examination of their relationship. The aim of this paper is to address this omission in the literature and to initiate the construction of conceptual bridges that span the gaps between continental, analytic, and naturalist philosophy on biological normativity.

Introduced to Australia in the 1860s, Queen Palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) (family Arecaceae) became a popular ornamental plant in indoor and outdoor settings in the late 19th Century. Queen Palms saw a revival in popularity being heavily promoted in the 1960s and 1970s, resulting in extensive plantings commonly associated with new housing developments and business premises. The propensity of the species to fruit liberally, and its potential in being dispersed by the Grey-headed Flying Fox (Pteropus poliocephalus), has led to the plant being declared an environmental weed in some parts of New South Wales and Queensland. Drawing on data derived from a geographically structured image survey of real estate listings, this paper presents the first distribution map of horticulturally planted and maintained Queen Palms in south-eastern Australia. A comparison with the distribution of naturalized Queen Palms permits us to characterize the biogeographical parameters that circumscribe the horticultural limits of the plant in Australia and the parameters that define its naturalized range.

The Celtis tala forests, or talares of Buenos Aires province (Argentina), are a fragile ecosystem threatened by biological invasions. Among the alien species reported as transforming the landscape in the talares, Ligustrum lucidum constitutes the main threat. This work evaluates the degree of naturalization of the alien Pterocarya stenoptera (Juglandaceae), new in the talares of the El Destino Private Reserve, located within the Parque Costero del Sur Biosphere Reserve. The local use of the species, its possible origin and type of dispersion were evaluated, and its extension and number of seedlings per square meter were recorded in the invaded sectors. The species is described, and a dichotomous key is provided to differentiate the Juglandaceae genera present in Buenos Aires, all of which are exotic. Pterocarya stenoptera may have been cultivated in the gardens of Estancia El Destino, from where it spread to the neighbouring talares by anemochory. It was found in three well-defined sectors in which there is a large number of seedlings. This recently naturalized species has efficient means of dispersal and a large seed biomass that enabled it to become a dominant tree in some sectors of the site, where it surpassed the invasive (transformer) Ligustrum lucidum in terms of number of seedlings. The presence of Pterocarya stenoptera in the talares is expected to increase unless management of the species is planned. We conclude that it is necessary and possible to plan actions for its management and control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Various chorological notes for the genus Carex in the Iberian Peninsula are presented, including new provincial records for four species (C. elata subsp. elata, C. demissa subsp. demissa, C. oedipostyla, C. sylvatica subsp. sylvatica), as well as provincial confirmations (not indicated in Flora iberica) for the presence of three taxa. We also provide the second national report for Portugal of C. reuteriana subsp. mauritanica. Three additional reports have chorological interest by constituting new regional and/or biogeographic records, or the second provincial report. Five of the novelties are of conservation concern because they imply endangered species or populations, included in Red Lists and/or legally protected. Finally, we refer to the possible naturalization of C. pendula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Protestantism is, for Rubem Alves, a kind of arché, a mobilizing and inventive principle, a power of creative insubordination. This arché runs through all of his writings, and is the guiding thread of his thought. The strong critical content of his thinking derives from a certain mystical understanding that Rubem Alves has of the protestant spirit; mystique understood here as a movement of trans-ancestry of bodies towards exceeding the world-historical contours that oppress life. This 'mystical turn of Protestantism' was operationalized by Rubem Alves to deconstruct the foundations of what he called "Protestantism of the Right Doctrine" (PRD). At the same time, by affirming "corpotency" as the possibility of plenitude in the midst of penury, as the affirmation of life in the midst of the naturalization of death, as the plenitude of an unsatisfied satisfaction, Alves promotes a 'protestant turn of mystique', deconstructing a certain notion of mystique as an experience of plenitude and satiety.

Pteris has numerous representatives of Asian and Oceanic origin naturalized in America, some of them recognized as invasive weeds. Pteris ensiformis was introduced in America in the middle of the 19th century and subsequently naturalized in USA and Central America, but the records of its distribution in South America are isolated and the establishment or naturalization of the populations is unclear. As part of a broader study whose objective is to review the diversity of ferns and lycophytes in the Paranaense forest P. ensiformis was found for the first time in Argentina. In addition to describing, illustrating, and distinguishing the species from other species of the genus in the country, we review the distribution of P. ensiformis in South America comparing herbarium collections and iNaturalist observations, a citizen science platform. Additionally, a status for the species is proposed or suggested in each country where it is registered according to its stage of the naturalization process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the naturalization of Nazism, through semiotic processes of enregisterment, circulation, and regimentation of the register "nature-tradition" associated with a characterological figure I term the Granola Nazi. Granola Nazi is assembled through a rhematized set of semiotic elements, images, practices and forms of talk, which have come to indicate socially typified personae – strong virile white farmers, traditional earthy homesteading moms – and the moral order they embody. Using linguistic anthropological and digital methods, this analysis draws on 885 Instagram accounts as well as linked data from YouTube and print media (i.e. cookbooks, diet advice), to explore how the worlds of far right neo-folkish movement intersect with discourses of health and wellness, creating moralized discourses of "natural beauty" and "folk vitality" which naturalize far- right racial hierarchies. This is at once a co-option of discourses of health and environment, but also one which reveals the how the naturalization of Nazism is made possible by racism and sexism in long present in liberal talk about nature, beauty or wellness.

This article engages with critical discourse analysis to explore how ideological values are represented in the national guidelines for generalist music teacher education in Norway. These curriculum documents are understood as part of a selective tradition which serves to naturalize dominating values in teacher education institutions. The analysis engages with historical and current discourses of music preferences, values, and philosophies. The authors argue that the national guidelines largely contribute to upholding a certain school music ideology and a matching community of music educators. The theoretical thrust is based on writings on curriculum and ideology, hegemony, naturalization and selective tradition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following Michel Foucault, this essay aims to open up a Foucauldian perspective on the female Wunderkind in the eighteenth century. We begin with a brief explanation of some central aspects of Foucault's theories of power, knowledge, and discourse. We then argue that the evaluation of child prodigies underwent a significant change in the late eighteenth century, one that is related to and reflects two opposing understandings of childhood and child development, which in turn correspond with the debate over the development of organisms waged between preexistence theorists and advocates of epigenesis. Finally, we propose that in the figure of the female Wunderkind different social orders intersect: the generational order that differentiates between childhood and adulthood and the gendered order that differentiates between women and men. Both differentiations are social constructions, whose undeniable power results from their being declared to be natural. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the Korematsu, Yasui, and Hirabayashi Coram Nobis cases, which overturned the convictions of Fred Korematsu, Gordon Hirabayashi, and Minoru Yasui during World War II. It provides historical context on the discrimination faced by Asian Americans and the orders that led to the incarceration of Japanese Americans. The article explores the challenges to these orders and the Supreme Court's deference to the government's arguments of military necessity. It also highlights the newly discovered evidence that contradicted the government's claims and the lasting impact of the Court's decisions. The text further discusses the efforts to reopen the cases and correct the injustice done to these individuals and the Japanese American community. It emphasizes the importance of learning from history, the role of courts in protecting constitutional rights, and the need for allyship and speaking up against injustice.

Classificatory systems and categories contradict structurally with mobility, because ordering systems define fixed places for people and things. Thus mobility challenges any form of classification and might be the driver for the invention of new categories. Regardless of the structural contradiction even classifications of mobility exist. They are strongly bound to national bureaucracies which themselves are a reaction to the need of national ordering systems. Bureaucracies are important technologies to rule nationally defined territories and populations. This leads to disempowering and sometimes paradoxical situations for mobile persons, because mobility produces systematically bureaucratic paradoxes. These paradoxes can be a helpful tool to analyze the making-up and contingency of classificatory systems and categories, to keep these characteristics transparent and hindering by this the naturalization of categories and classificatory systems. Especially in bureaucracies of nation states the awareness about this contingency has to be maintained, so that bureaucratic decisions do not lose sight of the persons they concern.
