Using travel time data from both a nationwide dense seismic network and a dense temporary seismic network, we obtain a high‐resolution three‐dimensional seismic velocity structure beneath the ...Hokkaido corner. Considerable inhomogeneity in the seismic velocity structure is clearly imaged above the subducting Pacific slab. Our results indicate that a broad low‐velocity zone of P and S waves, with velocities consistent for crustal rocks, is observed west of the Hidaka main thrust at depths of 35–90 km. The images also indicate that several smaller‐scale high‐velocity zones are located at depths of 0–35 km, striking approximately north‐south and inclined to the east‐northeastward at 40°–60°. All of these anomalous high‐velocity zones are located at the deeper extension of Neogene thrust faults. The clearest high‐velocity zone is located beneath the Hidaka metamorphic belt and is in contact with the eastern edge of the broad low‐velocity zone. Moreover, the boundary between the clearest high‐velocity and the broad low‐velocity zones corresponds to the fault plane of the 1970 Mj (magnitude determined by the Japan Meteorological Agency) 6.7 Hidaka earthquake. The western boundary of another small high‐velocity zone, at depths of 20 to 30 km within the broad low‐velocity zone, corresponds to the fault plane of the 1982 Mj 7.1 Urakawa‐oki earthquake. These observations suggest that these two large and anomalously deep inland earthquakes occurred at sharp material boundaries under a northeast‐southwest compressional stress field caused by ongoing arc‐arc collision process.
Key Points
High‐V zones of mantle material are located at depths of ‐35km
Big inland events occurred at boundaries ofcrust and shallow mantle materials
Our results are important for understanding the arc‐arc collision process
Don't Blame Ustraces the reorientation of modern liberalism and the Democratic Party away from their roots in labor union halls of northern cities to white-collar professionals in postindustrial ...high-tech suburbs, and casts new light on the importance of suburban liberalism in modern American political culture. Focusing on the suburbs along the high-tech corridor of Route 128 around Boston, Lily Geismer challenges conventional scholarly assessments of Massachusetts exceptionalism, the decline of liberalism, and suburban politics in the wake of the rise of the New Right and the Reagan Revolution in the 1970s and 1980s. Although only a small portion of the population, knowledge professionals in Massachusetts and elsewhere have come to wield tremendous political leverage and power. By probing the possibilities and limitations of these suburban liberals, this rich and nuanced account shows that-far from being an exception to national trends-the suburbs of Massachusetts offer a model for understanding national political realignment and suburban politics in the second half of the twentieth century.
On Two Civilizations in Michał Pawlikowski’s Thought Michał Pawlikowski (1887–1970) was a Polish essayist, poet, publisher, editor, and bibliophile. Since World War I, he was an activist of the ...National Democratic Party (later the National Party). After World War II, he settled in Great Britain, temporarily staying in Zakopane, Poland. Pawlikowski is the author of essays and journalism, where he collected his philosophical views on nation and culture, as well as on civilization and race. He sought cause and effect relationships in the history of humanity as factors that shaped the contemporary world. In his opinion, the world is divided between two mutually antagonistic civilizations: Western and Eastern. Such a perspective of his thought has been inscribed in Polish wider reflection on the nation. It is close to messianic concepts that were held by Romantic thinkers and artists, while at the same time it contains tints of national megalomania. His writings can be termed controversial and are often characterized as being full of discrepancies, as well as simplifying a number of complex issues; in particular, in his opponents’ views Pawlikowski’s thought is too close to conspiracy theory of history. Alternatively Pawlikowski deserves recognition for his depictions of man as a free human being who has a potential to make individual choices in accordance with ethical ideals and obligations towards the community.
En las últimas décadas, las catástrofes y complejidades de la historia asoman en el teatro de Rafael Spregelburd no solo en sus tematizaciones, sino también en exploraciones intermediales, seriadas y ...de larga duración que buscan movilizar, a nuestro entender, un pensamiento y una práctica acerca del lugar de la imaginación artística (y política) en la actualidad. Opera, igualmente, con el reciclaje de múltiples materiales y una revisión crítica sobre la ficción, la realidad y el tiempo que lo conectan con una manera de entender la historia en tanto trastornada ("preposterous history·', en Bal). El presente trabajo busca analizar su proyecto más reciente, El fin de Europa, escrito entre 2012 y 2017, bajo la siguiente premisa: un teatro en tiempos de crisis, calamidades y finales procura desmontar los relatos del fin haciendo ver que ese punto que marca la eclosión no es tanto un cierre, sino una posibilidad de entender y habitar el mundo de otra forma, aun cuando todavía no sepamos cómo hacerlo.

Chile is widely known as the first experiment in neoliberalism in Latin America, carried out and made possible through state violence. Since the beginning of the transition in 1990, the state has ...pursued a national project of reconciliation construed as debts owed to the population. The state owed a "social debt" to the poor accrued through inequalities generated by economic liberalization, while society owed a "moral debt" to the victims of human rights violations. Life in Debt invites us into lives and world of a poor urban neighborhood in Santiago. Tracing relations and lives between 1999 and 2010, Clara Han explores how the moral and political subjects imagined and asserted by poverty and mental health policies and reparations for human rights violations are refracted through relational modes and their boundaries. Attending to intimate scenes and neighborhood life, Han reveals the force of relations in the making of selves in a world in which unstable work patterns, illness, and pervasive economic indebtedness are aspects of everyday life. Lucidly written, Life in Debt provides a unique meditation on both the past inhabiting actual life conditions but also on the difficulties of obligation and achievements of responsiveness.
Genndy Tartakovsky is widely regarded as a pioneer in contemporary Western animation of the 20th and 21st centuries. His groundbreaking and prolific output, ranging from Dexter's Laboratory to ...Samurai Jack and Sym-Bionic Titan, has become a mainstay of contemporary animated programming, and collectively, the cornerstone of both titans of the industry such as Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. This open access book draws attention to the comparatively mysterious figure of this creator, while simultaneously celebrating his singular vision, mastery of formal technique, genre sensitivity, personal stylistic flair, and how these aesthetic and narrative elements combine to produce what the author calls an 'animation of sincerity' in all his works.

A proposta deste artigo é discutir um período crítico para a indústria cultural brasileira no processo de urbanização e modernização do país (a década de 1970) por meio da observação dos modos de ...circulação de um grupo de filmes que dialogou com tendências internacionais do cinema por meio da prática do “similar nacional”. No caso, interessa à pesquisa os filmes brasileiros derivativos do clássico do cinema erótico Emmanuelle, de 1974: Emmanuelle Tropical (1977), de J. Marreco; Emmanuello...o belo (1978), de Nilo Machado; e A Filha de Emmanuele, dirigido em 1980 por Osvaldo de Oliveira.

In the post-World War II period, students rebelled against the ...university establishment. In student-led movements, women, minorities, immigrants, and indigenous people demanded that universities adapt to better serve the increasingly heterogeneous public and student bodies. The success of these movements had a profound impact on the intellectual landscape of the twentieth century: out of these efforts were born ethnic studies, women's studies, and American studies.
In We Demand, Roderick A. Ferguson demonstrates that less than fifty years since this pivotal shift in the academy, the university is moving away from "the people" in all their diversity. Today the university is refortifying its commitment to the defense of the status quo off campus and the regulation of students, faculty, and staff on campus. The progressive forms of knowledge that the student-led movements demanded and helped to produce are being attacked on every front. Not only is this a reactionary move against the social advances since the '60s and '70s-it is part of the larger threat of anti-intellectualism in the United States.
