Queering Time, Questioning Ageism Through Speculative Siction
(transcript Verlag, 2023-08-27) Oró Piqueras, Maricel; Falcus, Sarah
Speculative narratives offer particularly rich and complex explorations of time and aging, exhibiting a tendency to play with ‘queer temporalities’ and imagine the lifecourse and human chronology in alternative ways. In this article, we employ an ageing studies perspective in our analysis of time, the lifecourse and aging in four visual speculative narratives. We focus on recent film/TV about increased longevity/immortality. “San Junipero” (in TV Series Black Mirror, 2016), Mr Nobody (2009) and In Time (2011) imagine societies in which forms of technologically enabled extended longevity have been achieved. The Age of Adaline (2015), on the other hand, follows the tradition of speculative fiction about exclusive immortality, achieved only by one or a small number of persons. All four texts play with linear and chronological aging and juxtapose youth and age in provocative ways, exploiting the possibilities of the visual mode. In Time and Adaline seem to yearn for normative social order and present extended longevity as the source of unhappiness and social crisis. San Junipero and Mr Nobody, on the other hand, focus on the possibilities of temporal disorder as a way of escaping normative expectations. They draw attention to the constricting nature of normative times and combine utopian and dystopian elements to explore the tension between normative and queer temporal orders.

Sculpture in Catalonia during the Romanesque period
(Institut d’Estudis Catalans, 2023-09-07) Lorés, Immaculada
Studies on much of the Catalan sculpture from the Romanesque period have naturally been closely associated with studies on the architecture from the same period. The historiographic story presented here is organised through a series of relevant themes that we believe have marked the research, especially on architectural sculpture: the eleventh century and the start of sculptural decoration of churches in both stone and stucco; the knowledge we have about the materials used and reused and aspects of the workshops’ work processes; the historiographic creations by the supposed masters, in a scene without the names of artists; the iconographic programme in its context; and the reality of many sculptural sets which at a some point were pillaged or disassembled and are now dispersed and decontextualised. This article ends with a section on furniture.

Heinrich Stadial 1 continental sand dunes and Middle to Late Holocene paleosol sequences in SE Iberia: Implications for human occupation and site formation processes
(Elsevier, 2023) Fernández López de Pablo, Javier; Polo-Díaz, Ana; Ferrer-García, Carlos; Poch, Rosa M.
Continental aeolian sandy deposits are common in the semi-arid Mediterranean biomes of the Iberian Peninsula. Very few studies, however, have addressed their chronology, formation, and evolution. In this work, we present the interdisciplinary study of the Villena dune field (SE Iberian Peninsula) for which sand dune-paleosol sequences spanning the Last Glacial to the Late Holocene have been documented. The surface area of the Villena dune field and the dune morphology were mapped using LIDAR elevation data. Three different stratigraphic sequences were analyzed through geochronology (OSL and AMS C14), micromorphology, soil chemistry, grain size and X-ray powder diffraction. The formation of the Villena dune field was OSL dated between 16.3 ± 0.6 and 14.97 ± 0.5 ka during the Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1). Deflation, diffuse floods and runoff processes led to the removal of GS-1 and Early Holocene sediments from the stratigraphic sequences. Subsequently, discontinuous polycyclic soil sequences developed on the dune top sections from the Middle to the Late Holocene. Three main pedogenetic processes linked to palaeoenvironmental shifts –organic matter accumulation, calcium carbonate redistribution and periglacial features– were documented in two soil sequences registered in the stratigraphies investigated, which also included sedimentary hiatuses. Our work identified for the first time: (i) the formation of continental dune deposits spanning the HS1 on the Iberian Mediterranean region; (ii) sedimentary dynamics helping to understand Early to Late Holocene archaeological site formation processes in this area; and (iii) periglacial features dated the Little Ice Age.
