“…(Cyanophyceae, order Oscillatoriales) live in tropical and subtropical oceans. This filamentous phytoplankter exists as both single trichomes and colonies that are visible to the naked eye, earning the nickname ''sea sawdust'' (Cook 1842). They occasionally form brown or red ''blooms'' that are visible from space and reputedly gave the Red Sea its name (Ehrenberg 1830).…”

The filamentous, colonial cyanobacterium Trichodesmium has six well-described species, but many more names. Traditional classification was based on field samples using morphological characteristics such as cell width and length, gas vesicle distribution, and colony morphology. We used the Woods Hole Trichodesmium culture collection to identify 21 cultured strains to species using cell morphology; phycobiliprotein absorption spectra; and sequences of the 16S rRNA gene, the 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and the heterocyst differentiation gene hetR. We compared our results to previous studies of field specimens and found similar clades, though not all phylogenetic groups were represented in culture. Our culture collection represented two of the four major clades of Trichodesmium: clade I, made up of Trichodesmium thiebautii Gomont, Trichodesmium tenue Wille, Katagnymene spiralis Lemmerm., and Trichodesmium hildebrandtii Gomont; and clade III, consisting of Trichodesmium erythraeum Ehrenb. and Trichodesmium contortum Wille. These clades were genetically coherent with similar phycobiliprotein composition, but morphologically diverse. In the continual revision of cyanobacterial taxonomy, genetic and biochemical information is useful and informative complements to morphology for the development of a functional classification scheme.

“…Its existence in the Neolithic period is therefore not improbable. The second reason is that populations practising funerary Examples taken from stateless societies can be found across all continents: among the Khonds of Orissa, 17 the Ibo and Adioukrou lineage-bonded forest societies of Côte d'Ivoire, 18 on the north-west coast of Canada, 19 in New Guinea, 20 Tahiti, 21 the Marquesas Islands, 22 North America 23 and among the Dayak people in Borneo. 24 It should be noted that in both lineage-bonded and state societies the usage and fate of the victim's body did not tend to vary; the primary di erence lay instead in the astonishing scale that some sacri ces could reach in state contexts.…”

Human Remains and Violence

Among the numerous human remains found in circular pits belonging to the fourth millennium BCE cultures north of the Alps, there are many examples of bodies laid in random (or unconventional) positions. Some of these remains in irregular configurations, interred alongside an individual in a conventional flexed position, can be considered as a ‘funerary accompaniment’. Other burials, of isolated individuals or multiple individuals buried in unconventional positions, suggest the existence of burial practices outside of the otherwise strict framework of funerary rites. The focus of this article is the evidence recently arising from excavation and anthropological studies from the Upper Rhine Plain (Michelsberg and Munzingen cultures). We assume that these bodies in unconventional positions were not dumped as trash, but that they were a part of the final act of a complex ritual. It is hypothesised that these bodies, interpreted here as ritual waste, were sacrificial victims, and a number of possible explanations, including ‘peripheral accompaniment’ or victims of acts of war, are debated.

“…Si bien es cierto que algunas de las imá-genes de Castro fueron claramente concebidas como documentos científicos 3 ,la mayoría de sus fotografías estaba posiblemente dirigida a documentar los lugares visitados conforme se hacía en las narrativas de las expediciones que se publicaban desde los tiempos de Cook, «… so that we might go out with every help that could serve to make the result of our voyage entertaining to the generality of readers, as well as instructive to the sailor and scholar…» 4 . Durante el siglo XIX el destino de las imágenes continuó siendo la narrativa, documentar los lugares visitados y los acontecimientos más señalados de los viajes, aunque en ocasiones tuvieron vocación científica.…”

La Comisión acompañaba una expedición militar y política de corte panhispanista. Fruto de aquel viaje el artista produjo una veintena de fotografías, dibujos y varias cartas que se publicarían en la revista El Museo Universal. Fotografías y crónicas del viaje conforman un corpus de excepcional valor que permite reconstruir el proyecto y su fabricación de una nueva imagen de América tras la independencia de las antiguas colonias y la irrupción de los Estados Unidos como potencia emergente. Este trabajo analiza este discurso y cómo se articuló con relación a este recién incorporado territorio de los Estados Unidos. A lo largo del estudio se revelarán varios fenómenos interesantes, como la ruptura ocasional del discurso, la circulación de las fotografías más allá del contexto de la Expedición o las conexiones de este viaje de exploración con el fenómeno del turismo.

ABSTRACT:In October 1863, Rafael Castro y Ordóñez, artist and photographer of the Comisión Científica del Pacífico, traveled across the State of California in the company of naturalist Francisco de Paula Martínez y Sáez. The Comisión was associated with a panHispanic military and political expedition. As a result of the expedition the artist produced around twenty photographs, drawings, and several letters that were ultimately published by the Spanish pictorial magazine El Museo Universal. Both his photographs and travel accounts make up an exceptionally valuable body of knowledge allowing to reconstruct not only the Comisión project but also its attempt at portraying a new image of America following the independence of Spain's former colonies and the ascent of the United States as a world power. This paper analyzes both this discourse and its expression in relation to California, a then recently incorporated US territory. Several interesting phenomena, including occasional breaches in the discourse, the circulation of photographs beyond the expedition's context, and the connections of this exploration journey with tourism, will be unveiled in the course of the present study.
