“…The authors admittedly developed it in order to overcome a mismatch they verified between the dynamics of the smile Dupire's model was predicting and actual market realisation, which they believed could lead to incorrect hedging strategies. (Dupire, 1994) and (Hagan et al, 2002) have been the two most cited papers in Risk over the past 10 years-confirming the impact these two models have had in the derivatives market, and the effort other researchers have dedicated to their improvement (Day, 2016). Because, of course, no model is perfect: in Dupire's model, for example, one difficulty is to interpolate option prices between strikes, which are assumed to be traded in a continuum of values.…”

“…The history of Totoaba fish maw extraction and its relevant inter-urban oceanic trade is inseparable from broader histories of race, class, and gender. In the late 1800s, racialized exclusion from mining and other labor sectors in the U.S. forced many Asian and Chinese Americans into the railroad industry (Day, 2016). When Chinese rail workers completed the line from Southern California cities down the Baja Peninsula in the early 1900s, they discovered the waters of the Gulf of California teaming with a fish similar in size and appearance to Chinese Bahababa (Bahaba taipingensis), a species then widely found in the South China Sea.…”

“…Work within the Black Radical Tradition demonstrates how racial capitalism structured relations of power across the globe (James, 1938;James, 2001;Johnson, 2013;Robinson, 1983;Williams, 1944;Wright, 2020). Analogous forms of anti-Asian labor exploitation undergirded urbanization in the U.S. West (Day, 2016). Racialized assemblages, analogous to these, shaped urban oceanic relations across the Pacific Ocean.…”

Urban oceans: Social differentiation in the city and the sea

This paper argues that the urban and the ocean are co-constituted through relations that are unevenly classed, gendered, and racialized. This argument is empirically anchored in high-value fish maw markets in Hong Kong, New York City, and the oceanic spaces and lives therein. The global inter-urban trade in Totoaba, an endangered fish endemic to the Gulf of California, serves as a primary example of piscine capital circulation, while supporting examples engage a much longer durée of urban ocean relations. Agrarian technologies appropriated through colonial trans-oceanic trade, for instance, are shown to be precursors of Euro-American industrial urbanization, while whale bodies were crucial to urban politics of difference and producing urban spaces in 19th century U.S. cities. Contemporary fisheries on the high seas exemplify how ocean spaces remain frontiers of unfree labor and natural resource extraction that contribute to capital accumulation in global cities. Through these examples, the article details how the ocean is urbanized, how the urban is constituted through the ocean, as well as some of the differentiated social formations and socio-natural effects of urban oceanic relationships. Urban oceanic processes of exploitation, extraction, circulation, and consumption predispose marginalized people and ocean wildlife to premature deaths. Urban oceanic relations could be otherwise constituted. Towards reconstituting these relations, the paper advances a hybrid analytical framework that ungrounds the urban from terrestrial conceptual moorings through engaging interdisciplinary ocean geographies.

“…The people of Earth are situated between degrees of alliance with the Fire Nation and coalition with the anticolonial resistance of the Water Tribes and the lone survivor of the Air Nomads; a triadic structure that recalls the liminal positioning of Asians in Iyko Day's Native-alien-settler schema along with Claire Jean Kim's model of Asians as triangulated between white and Black people in the United States. 60 Although characterized by their relationship to land, in practice most earthbending is industrial, utilitarian, and even extractive. The worldmaking portrayals of Fire and Earth are well-suited as a mirror for the Asian/North American self-reflections required for Phung's settler of color critique as "a solidarity project, a mode of self-critique, a process of self-identification that can be reconfigured intersectionally, depending on one's positionalities and migrant genealogies."…”

Arctic and Asian Indigeneities, Asian/North American Settler/Colonialism: Animating Intimacies and Counter-Intimacies in Avatar: The Last Airbender

By bracketing whiteness, Avatar: The Last Airbender reorients us to how global colonial modernity produces biopolitical difference as a technology of management to defamiliarize Asian and Indigenous relationalities. Approaching it as a site of alternative contact, I consider Lisa Lowe's intimacies of colonial comparative processes in apposition with insurgent counter-intimacies. This essay traces portrayals of Asian imperialism, colonialism, and Asian diasporic settler colonialism in tandem with comparative Indigeneities and decolonial solidarity. ATLA engages Asianness and Indigeneity together in a mode that is relational but not statically schematic, extending influential work by scholars thinking across Indigenous, Asian, and Asian diasporic studies. • JOURNAL OF ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES • 24.
