The criminal crowd and other writings on mass society
\"The Criminal Crowd and Other Writings on Mass Society is the first English collection of writings by Italian jurist, sociologist, cultural and literary critic Scipio Sighele. Sighele is largely responsible for providing post-unification Italy with a new outlook on issues ranging from the blurring line between individual and collective accountability, the role of urbanization in the development of criminality, and the emancipation of women. This work draws a multifaceted portrait of a provocative thinker and public intellectual caught between tradition and modernity during the European fin de siلecle. Containing a comprehensive introduction by the editor, The Criminal Crowd and Other Writings on Mass Society includes Sighele's seminal work, The Criminal Crowd, as well as his formative studies on group behaviour. Nicoletta Pireddu contextualizes Sighele's contribution to the so-called 'age-of crowds,' from the fierce polemic with his French rivals Gustave LeBon and Gabriel Tarde to the scientific, literary, and cultural developments of his conceptualization of mass behaviours as a legitimate object of psychological investigation into a new century.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Burke's Sympathy for Taste
Huhn's conviction is that the trope of mimesis remained throughout the 18th century the central term around which aesthetic theories of taste and judgment circulated, even though it became increasingly less visible. He formulates how the concept of mimesis figures in Edmund Burke's \"A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origins of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful\" and focuses specifically on how mimesis relates to the social foundations of taste and judgement.

Notes from the Field: Mimesis
Observe the contemporary artist Christopher Wool, who has mined the almost airless seam left for the \"space\" in painting in a post-screen-print world. What persists in experimental work is a willingness to face up to ongoing dislocations and tensions between the configurational and the represen tational dimensions of artistic process - symptomatic of a broader disintegrative logic in capitalist culture - and a refusal that is as much political as it is aesthetic of the affirmative synthesis of the two posited in classical art theory.

Assimilation of homotaurine-nitrogen by Burkholderia sp. and excretion of sulfopropanoate
Homotaurine (3-aminopropanesulfonate), free or derivatized, is in widespread pharmaceutical and laboratory use. Studies with enrichment cultures indicated that the compound is degradable as a sole source of carbon or as a sole source of nitrogen for bacterial growth. A pure culture of Burkholderia sp. was isolated which assimilated the amino group from homotaurine in a glucose-salts medium, and which released an organosulfonate, 3-sulfopropanoate, into the medium stoichiometrically. The deamination involved an inducible 2-oxoglutarate-dependent aminotransferase to yield glutamate, and 3-sulfopropanal. Release of the amino group was attributed to the measured NADP-coupled glutamate dehydrogenase.

A Lack of Feeling in Kant: Response to Patricia M. Matthews
Huhn critiques Patricia M. Matthews' 1996 article in \"The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism\" entitled \"Kant's Sublime: A Form of Pure Aesthetic Reflective Judgment.\" While Huhn agrees with Matthews' assertion that judgments of taste are inherently puzzling, he finds equally puzzling her explication of Kant and the conclusions she draws from that explication.
