El buque oceanográfico Sarmiento de Gamboa, donde se realizará el proyecto ICEFLAME. CSIC Un equipo liderado por IGME-CSIC e ICM-CSIC investigará cómo responden los depósitos de este gas en el Océano Austral ante el retroceso de los glaciares Un equipo científico español, liderado por el Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (IGME-CSIC) y el Instituto de Ciencias del Mar (ICM-CSIC) viajan el 8 de enero a la Antártida para buscar y caracterizar fugas de gas metano en el Océano Austral, un resultado del cambio climático global que, además, pueden influir en su aceleración. Estas fugas están vinculadas a cómo responden los depósitos de gas metano en estado sólido al retroceso de los glaciares, fenómeno que será investigado en la Península Antártica durante la expedición que comienza en unos días. El proyecto Iceflame, que contará con la participación de 26 personas a bordo del buque oceanográfico Sarmiento de Gamboa, recogerá datos del fondo oceánico utilizando sondas sísmicas y muestras de sedimento, a profundidades que van desde los 500 hasta los 4.000 metros. El objetivo es localizar posibles fugas de metano. Es un gas de efecto invernadero que genera entre 20 y 40 veces más calentamiento global que el dióxido de carbono (CO2). Se acumuló por última vez de forma masiva en el fondo marino antártico, en forma de metano helado (hidratos de metano) durante el último periodo glaciar, hace 20.000 años. La existencia de estos depósitos se conoce desde la década de 1990, cuando las potencias internacionales exploraron posibles yacimientos de hidrocarburos en la Antártida. Sin embargo, hasta ahora nadie ha estudiado con detalle cómo están reaccionando al retroceso glaciar causado por el calentamiento global. Se sabe que la pérdida de masa de hielo en el continente provoca un levantamiento del suelo. En la zona marina, una disminución de la profundidad, y por tanto una reducción de la presión efectiva sobre el fondo, facilita las fugas de gas. Esto podría afectar la estabilidad del fondo (riesgos geológicos) y tener repercusiones en el clima global. Los hidratos de metano son sólidos cristalinos de aspecto similar al hielo (metano helado). Se forman a altas presiones y a bajas temperaturas, unas condiciones comunes a más de 300 metros bajo el nivel del mar en zonas polares. Sin embargo, señalan desde Iceflame, estas condiciones los hacen muy vulnerables a los cambios asociados al calentamiento global, que eleva la temperatura del océano y provoca el levantamiento del fondo marino, reduciendo así la presión. Estos hidratos, además de impactar en el calentamiento global, afectan la estabilidad de los sedimentos marinos, hasta el punto de que puede causar explosiones y grandes deslizamientos del fondo, un riesgo geológico con potencial de generar tsunamis. Roger Urgeles (ICM-CSIC) y Ricardo León (IGME-CSIC) ambos geólogos e investigadores principales del proyecto Iceflame, destacan la importancia de su proyecto: “Sabemos de los problemas que los hidratos de metano generan en el Ártico, pero nadie los ha investigado en la Antártida como queremos hacerlo ahora. Solo en la zona de la Península Antártica estimamos que hay unas 24 gigatoneladas de carbono acumuladas en los hidratos de metano, lo que equivale a las emisiones de CO₂ de origen humano durante dos años en todo el planeta. Y se desconoce su estado, no sabemos si el metano helado, sólido, se está transformando en gas metano. Esto es lo que queremos averiguar en esta campaña antártica”. Trabajos de la campaña oceanográfica En concreto, durante 24 días a bordo, y durante las 24 horas del día, para lo que se organizarán en tres turnos, recogerán datos y muestras con unas sondas que permitirán conocer la estructura de los sedimentos del océano antártico hasta a un kilómetro de profundidad. Se va a investigar cómo estos fluidos migran a través del subsuelo al fondo marino y se cuantificar las emisiones a la columna de agua. Otro de los objetivos será el análisis de los microor...

Now Presenting: Brujos

BRUJOS IS A QUEER-OF-COLOR, RADICALLY POLITICIZED WEB SERIES FOLLOWING FOUR GAY LATINO DOCTORAL CANDIDATES--THAT ARE ALSO WITCHES. THEY NAVIGATE MAGIC, SEXUALITY, AND SURVIVING A WITCH-HUNT LED BY A SECRET SOCIETY OF WHITE HETERONORMATIVE MALE DESCENDENTS OF THE FIRST NEW WORLD COLONIZERS.

Installment 1: The Devil

Episode 1: Aries

Episode 2: Taurus

Episode 3: Gemini 

Episode 4: Cancer

TV can be art. TV can be revolutionary. TV can be popular entertainment AND incite critical dialogue. Audiences are hungry and intelligent enough for challenging work. This describes the philosophy behind BRUJOS, a counter-hegehmonic web series. Produced by Open TV (beta), conceived, written and directed by Ricardo Gamboa and to be shot by cinematographer Ben Kolak, BRUJOS is a queer-of-color web series.

BRUJOS blends the Latin American soap opera, American sitcom, and critical theory as it follows a coven of four queer Latino doctoral candidates as they learn magic, indulge in nightlife, navigate intimate relationships, and write seminar papers all while trying to survive a witch-hunt. These young protagonists confront histories and realities of racial and gendered inequality as they battle the secret society of white, heteronormative male descendants of the first New World colonizers behind the witch-hunt. Twelve, seven-minute episodes corresponding to signs of the zodiac cycle have been developed through queer men of color testimony; interviews with actual practitioners of divination and magic, i.e. psychics, santeras, tarot readers, etc.; and with academics of cultural studies, performance studies, and queer theory.

BRUJOS addresses the current the landscape of television: Gay men and people of color are more apparent than ever in mainstream television. Sitcoms like “Blackish” and “Fresh Off The Boat” depict families of color attaining the American dream. Programs such as “Looking” and “Modern Family” feature middle and upper class white gay men searching for love or functioning as an all-American family. While these shows are representational achievements, they are not revolutionary ones.

In these cases, ethnic, racial and sexual minorities are portrayed in ways that support dominant culture, narratives, values and relationality. Commercial television studios and networks preoccupied with “scale” and “big data” seldom produce aesthetically or politically challenging work to secure mass viewership. This only further marginalizes non-normative people who’s lives, realities, and stories do not fit within their depictions and who devise new ways of being under the pressures of inequality that are never affirmed.

Moreover, Chicago has become a hotbed for television production. However, series such as Chicago P.D. reiterate stereotypes of people of color as criminals. Mega-hit EMPIRE provides more complex portrayals but it’s get-rich-or-die-trying messaging is consistent with popular culture. Too often work that offers alternative images, narratives, and values is not seen as viable by mainstream producers.

For such reasons, Stephanie Jeter moved from big budget television producing to assume a critical and creative approach to television production. Jeter’s commitment to working with independent artists led her to BRUJOS. BRUJOS was conceived by Ricardo Gamboa, an award-winning “artivist” committed to creating work outside institutional frameworks. Gamboa began development for BRUJOS in 2014 through informal interviews with queer Latino men and healers and psychics.

I’m reading “The Real Life Adventures of Jimmy de Las Rosas” by Ricardo Gamboa and it’s great so far

It’s so fucking weird but like great! There’s super powered kids and evil werewolf chihuahuas and just the design possibilities for this show are endless like I’m already thinking about how I’d do the lights and sound to get this play as comic book-y is possible but like

There’s this scene that’s purely in Spanish and most of the play’s a mix of both English and Spanish but there’s no English in this scene at all and Gamboa added a footnote that basically says Spanish-speaking audiences will know that this is happening *summarizes scene* but English-speaking audiences will just have to use context clues I guess and y’all

This is probably the best footnote I’ve ever read. Gamboa really said fuck monoglots

Anyway it’s great play and I love it so much and it’s funny and emotional and just it’s so good guys

A Burning Desire: Los Angeles as Femme Fatale by Tatiana Reinoza (2012) in Hemisphere: Visual Cultures of the Americas 

In BURNBABYBURN, Vincent Valdez opens up the Pandora's box and asks viewers to question why Chavez Ravine is on fire, and what really happened there. His is a seductive form of visual rhetoric -- the city is a muse, the muse a femme fatale -- that causes pleasure, anxiety, and hopefully awareness, "off the record on the QT, and very hush-hush."

The Tide Was Always High: The Music of Latin America in Los Angeles edited by Josh Kun (2017)

In 1980, the celebrated new wave band Blondie headed to Los Angeles to record a new album and along with it, the cover song “The Tide Is High,” originally written by Jamaican legend John Holt. Featuring percussion by Peruvian drummer and veteran LA session musician “Alex” Acuña, and with horns and violins that were pure LA mariachi by way of Mexico, “The Tide Is High” demonstrates just one of the ways in which Los Angeles and the music of Latin America have been intertwined since the birth of the city in the eighteenth century. The Tide Was Always High gathers together essays, interviews, and analysis from leading academics, artists, journalists, and iconic Latin American musicians to explore the vibrant connections between Los Angeles and Latin America. Published in conjunction with the Getty's Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, the book shows how Latin American musicians and music have helped shape the city’s culture—from Hollywood film sets to recording studios, from vaudeville theaters to Sunset Strip nightclubs, and from Carmen Miranda to Pérez Prado and Juan García Esquivel.

Josh Kun also curated some playlists for the book.

Mexican-American Mojo: Popular Music, Dance, and Urban Culture in Los Angeles, 1935–1968 by Anthony Macias (2008)

Stretching from the years during the Second World War when young couples jitterbugged across the dance floor at the Zenda Ballroom, through the early 1950s when honking tenor saxophones could be heard at the Angelus Hall, to the Spanish-language cosmopolitanism of the late 1950s and 1960s, Mexican American Mojo is a lively account of Mexican American urban culture in wartime and postwar Los Angeles as seen through the evolution of dance styles, nightlife, and, above all, popular music. Revealing the links between a vibrant Chicano music culture and postwar social and geographic mobility, Anthony Macías shows how by participating in jazz, the zoot suit phenomenon, car culture, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and Latin music, Mexican Americans not only rejected second-class citizenship and demeaning stereotypes, but also transformed Los Angeles.

Macías conducted numerous interviews for Mexican American Mojo, and the voices of little-known artists and fans fill its pages. In addition, more famous musicians such as Ritchie Valens and Lalo Guerrero are considered anew in relation to their contemporaries and the city. Macías examines language, fashion, and subcultures to trace the history of hip and cool in Los Angeles as well as the Chicano influence on urban culture. He argues that a grass-roots “multicultural urban civility” that challenged the attempted containment of Mexican Americans and African Americans emerged in the neighborhoods, schools, nightclubs, dance halls, and auditoriums of mid-twentieth-century Los Angeles. So take a little trip with Macías, via streetcar or freeway, to a time when Los Angeles had advanced public high school music programs, segregated musicians’ union locals, a highbrow municipal Bureau of Music, independent R & B labels, and robust rock and roll and Latin music scenes.

Mex/L.A.: “Mexican” Modernism(s) in Los Angeles, 1930-1985 by Mariana Botey, Harry Gamboa Jr, Ana Elena Mallet (2011)

The years from 1945 to 1985 are often identified as the moment in which Los Angeles established itself as a leading cultural center in America. However, this conception of its history entirely excludes the very controversial presence of the Mexican muralists, as well as the work of other artists who were influenced by them and responded to their ideas. It is likewise often thought that Los Angeles' Mexican culture arrived full formed from outside it, when in fact that culture originated within the city--it was in Los Angeles and Southern California that Jose Vasconcelos, Ricardo Flores Magon, Octavio Paz and other intellectuals developed the iconography of modern Mexico, while Anglos and Chicanos were developing their own. David Alfaro Siqueiros, Clemente Orozco, Alfredo Ramos Martinez and Jean Charlot made some of their earliest murals in Los Angeles, influencing the Mexican, Mexican-American and Chicano artists of the 1970s and 80s. "MEX/LA: Mexican Modernism(s) in Los Angeles 1930-1985" focuses on the construction of different notions of "Mexicanidad" within modernist and contemporary art created in Los Angeles. From the Olvera Street mural by Siqueiros, to the Golden Age of Mexican cinema and the Disney silver-screen productions, to the revitalization of the street mural, up to the performance art of Guillermo Gomez-Pena, "MEX/LA" explores the bi-national and hybrid forms of artistic practices, popular culture and mass-media arts that have so uniquely shaped Los Angeles' cultural panorama.

They Didn’t Vote For Trump. They Voted Against Us

by Don Hall

Growing up I went to a variety of elementary schools. We moved around and so I was cursed with being that new kid almost every year. The effects of this were plentiful and included a tendency to find the edges of acceptable behavior, the boundaries of what was considered appropriate, and poking through the natural hypocrisies of any institution to find the cracks in which to climb.

By the time I entered eighth grade in Benton, KS I was primed to be a complete pain in the ass. What I didn’t know was that I wasn’t going anywhere from that point until I graduated high school so those impulses to bend and break the rules of decorum and establish my own sense of autonomy within what I had grown accustomed to being fugacious would create impressions that I would no longer escape.

Being a bit of a book hound and more of a smart ass than a smart kid, I almost always encountered the bullies early in the school year. Benton Grade School was no different. When, in early September, after refusing to bow down to the rule of three of the Eight Grade Ruling Class and subsequently getting the crap beat out of me in a field just within sight of the school, I found myself in the principle’s office, trying to explain that, while I certainly mouthed off to these thugs, I never threw a punch.

He looked over his desk, his meaty hands clasped together over his colossal gut, and grilled me. I was the new kid and he felt it was his duty to explain things to me the way one who keeps the peace by ignoring the realities of brigandage under his nose feels entitled to do. Because I was a cocky little fucker, I pointed out his role in the beating I had taken. I casually explained that these prison rapists in training existed because he upheld the system in which they thrived. And, as was my tendency when being yelled at, I was smirking a bit as I said it.

“Christ, Hall.” he intoned. “You are one smug piece of shit, aren’t you?”

That interaction started the year of him seeking me out for punishments as often as he could and, given my DNA as a rule-challenging little smarmy jackass, it was never hard to bust me for something. Often as not, I was deserving of some sort of sanction but it was the many times when I did not deserve the lumps that burned. The ember of unearned injustice grew hot and the result was an increase in my pretentious arrogance which, in turn, made things worse rather than better.

By the time I arrived at Circle High School in neighboring Towanda, Tom Restivo, the hulking, muscle-bound Italian Vice Principle already knew me from reputation alone. And he was going to have none of it. I decided to see how far I could go and, that fall at lunch, I grabbed a semi-clear plastic glass from the cafeteria, went into the boy’s restroom and fished out an unflushed turd from one of the toilets. I waited until class was changing and slipped into his office and left it on his desk and, like an early Jason Bourne, disappeared unseen.

Twenty minutes later, I heard his voice over the intercom in the Freshman English class I had just barely made it to. “Mr. Warren? Is a student named Don Hall in your class? If so, please give him a pass and send him to my office immediately.”

I shuffled into his office and he sat there, reading something, the glass with the butt nugget still sitting exactly where I left it.

“Sit down, Hall.”

I sat.

“Hall, what’s that on my desk?”

I couldn’t help the huge grin that split my face. “Looks like shit to me, sir.”

“You know I’m going to suspend you for this, right?”

I didn’t know how he caught me but caught I was so I just nodded as I giggled.

When I came back to school a few days later after my suspension, he called me back into his office.

“Hall, I’m going to give you some advice. You can take it or leave it, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m giving it to you because you didn’t do what every other kid would’ve done when I nailed you for the glass of shit. You didn’t try to weasel out of it. You knew you were beaten and accepted your punishment without question or excuse. I like that in a young man so I’m here to suggest something that may help you in your four years here.”

“So you’re giving me guidance because I was a conformist and accepted my suspension without complaint? Jeesh, I feel so privileged.”

He smiled a joyless smile. “Yeah, that’s your problem. That was your problem at Benton. You’re a smug little fucker. You’re smart and you know it and a lot of teachers around here are going to learn to hate your guts because of it. Four years is a long time, kid. I think you’ll be the kind of student who always challenges the rules but you will lose those fights a lot, even when you’re right, because no one wants a smart ass to win. I’ve seen it happen every year. Dial it down and you might survive high school. Or don’t, and we’ll see if high school survives you.”

Liberals dominate the entertainment industry, many of the most influential news sources and America’s universities. This means that people with progressive leanings are everywhere in the public eye — and are also on the college campuses attended by many people’s children or grandkids. These platforms come with a lot of power to express values, confer credibility and celebrity and start national conversations that others really can’t ignore.

But this makes liberals feel more powerful than they are. Or, more accurately, this kind of power is double-edged. Liberals often don’t realize how provocative or inflammatory they can be. In exercising their power, they regularly not only persuade and attract but also annoy and repel.

In fact, liberals may be more effective at causing resentment than in getting people to come their way. I’m not talking about the possibility that jokes at the 2011 correspondents’ association dinner may have pushed Mr. Trump to run for president to begin with. I mean that the “army of comedy” that Michael Moore thought would bring Mr. Trump down will instead be what builds him up in the minds of millions of voters.

Just the other day I bet my nephew $50.00 that Trump will not only not be impeached but will be our president past 2020. Not because anyone on the entire planet thinks realistically that he is anything but a political moron and overwhelming dickcheese but because there are more people who despise the smugness of the Holier Than Thou Army of Identity Fetishists who think nothing of branding anyone and everyone not in lockstep with their political ideology as racists, nazis, or monsters and self righteously adopting the Faux Moral Authority of the Republicans who impeached Bill Clinton for getting his knob polished in the Oval.

There is an argument to be made that few voted FOR Trump but many voted AGAINST us. How could 53% of white women voters vote for the pussy grabber? The easy answer is that they are racist. With the fifty or so recent examples of white women calling the police on black people doing nothing more than existing, that makes sense except for the fact that those viral videos of Starbucks racists are not statistically significant enough to brand millions of people so reductively. It is just as likely to suggest that an unreasoning hatred of the strident self-satisfied intellectual class of liberal, constantly lecturing from a claimed moral high ground, was their unspoken rationale.

Identity Fetishist Ricardo Gamboa wrote in May on his Faceborg:

“As radical activists we imagine ourselves as delegates, or representatives or a voice of our people. But the reality is we’re anomalies or minorities amongst our people. Most brown people aspire to wealth and institutional wealth, are pro-police and prison, think gentrification improves the neighborhood, etc. I think it’s probably more accurate for those of us that identity ourselves as radical activists to maybe consider that our biggest problem throughout time is that we don’t have a people. We’re always in the work of forging radical people.”

I think that sentiment an be expanded to the totality of the self proclaimed Progressive Wing of American politics. “Forging radical people” by throwing out labels and minimizing whole groups of people by skin color or complex choices is what got us here with the most accurate representation of the social media name calling reductionist eighth grader we could find sitting on a hemorrhoid ring with a fat finger poised over a Twitter account behind the Resolute desk. He sits there, in no small measure, because the rest of the country hates us more than they despise him.

I say “us” as if I am part of the extreme left, the hardcore faction of self righteous idiots who believe that identity politics is anything but the Politics of Narcissism. When I say “us” I mean to say that I didn’t take Restivo’s advice in high school.

I stayed smug. More so, I doubled down on it.

I occasionally go back and read my strident name calling rhetoric during the Bush Jr. years and can hear the voice of a Lydia Lucio, a Ricardo Gamboa, or a younger Donald Trump within the arrogant, pompous asshattery of self righteous rage. I then observe in hindsight the unreasoning obstacles forced in front of Obama and wonder how much of that Mitch McConnell driven resistance had to do with a simple disgust with us.

Like me in high school, we aren’t learning that that smugness doesn’t win elections it merely makes us feel warm and fuzzy as if our ineffectual resistance will be noted by future historians as somehow significant when figuring out how to persuade those out in the world of real, flesh and bone humans separate from the avatars of the digital world that perhaps we might be able to work together for the better of everyone.

I really hope I lose that $50.00 to my nephew but I’m not counting on it.
