Multilingualism and Modernity

Abstract

New Comparisons in World LiteratureNew Comparisons in World Literature offers a fresh perspective on one of the most exciting current debates in humanities by approaching 'world literature' not in terms of particular kinds of reading but as a particular kind of writing. We take 'world literature' to be that body of writing that registers in various ways, at the levels of form and content, the historical experience of capitalist modernity. We aim to publish works that take up the challenge of understanding how literature registers both the global extension of 'modern' social forms and relations and the peculiar new modes of existence and experience that are engendered as a result. Our particular interest lies in studies that analyse the registration of this decisive historical process in literary consciousness and affect.

Interplanetary Scintillation with the Murchison Widefield Array V: An all-sky survey of compact sources using a modern low-frequency radio telescope

“…Unfortunately, with the Sun orders of magnitudes brighter and varying in time and frequency, modelling it well enough to give a dynamic range sufficient to measure IPS on 0.1 Jy sources would in practice be impossible. Lonsdale et al (2018) have achieved a dynamic range on the Sun of 38 000:1 only with extensive calibration on a single 40 kHz fine channel in a single 0.5 s integration. Replicating this across many thousands of channels and timesteps would be untenable.…”
