The Paradox of Hunger Strikes
Wolf Humanities Center
2024-25 Forum on Keywords
Wednesday, November 13, 2024
Historian Nayan Shah considers the keyword "hunger strike" and the historical, social, and political conditions that motivate the rise and transformations of this puzzling and persistent bodily defiance in the 20th and 21st centuries. Investigating contexts from South Africa, India, Ireland, the United States, and Iran, Shah explores the visceral ways that hunger striking communicates through media and political movements, and how it can turn a personal agony into a call for collective action.
Nayan Shah is a historian whose books uncover how people struggle with incarceration, migration, and illness in the United States and across the globe. His latest book, Refusal to Eat: A Century of Prison Hunger Strikes (University of California Press, 2022), is the first global history of hunger strikes as a tactic in prisons, conflicts, and protest movements. He also wrote Contagious Divides: Epidemics and Race in San Francisco’s Chinatown (2001) and Stranger Intimacy: Contesting Race, Sexuality and the Law in the North American West (2001). Shah is Professor of American Studies & Ethnicity and History at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. This year he is L.A. Times' Distinguished Fellow at the Huntington Library and Research Center.

    I disagree with her fundamental premise of finite Universe concept . To simply dismiss infinity as " it makes no sense" can not be substantiated scientifically, and to utilize time as a spatial dimension is misleading unless you wish to redefine spatial dimension in the context of space/time . The "fabric of spacetime" as gravity featuring a fabric , or unified field of interaction leads to the dead ends of baryonic production and , dark matter , and WIMPS . Time has its own "temporal" dimensions , and it is separate from physical space . Ask yourself if you can create an infinite cycle in a finite system ? In theory it can be done . The work surface to establish this infinite cycle system requires a vacuum. We happen to be in space . Earth , the solar system , the galaxy , the local cluster is all inside of space . That fits , doesn't it ? This does not serve to preclude anything from existing outside of space .I'll stop here . That's plenty for you folks to pick apart if you want . Jana is brilliant . Anyone that can assemble a functioning cosmology is worth the time to interact with , but I disagree with her . For what it's worth , I'm just a grocery delivery guy . I have no letters , just two semesters of art school . I am certain that there is a possibility that I am wrong , but my thinking leads away from the standard cosmological model , and closer to where she was with her megaverse idea .

    Здравствуйте. Возможно у Вас в университете ❤создать рабочую группу вовлекая студентов❤, работать с новым экспериментом? Сами понимаете, одного ума и человека мало. (за 119 лет), *все эксперименты* включая опыты Майкельсона-Морли, для определения константы скорости света - являются косвенно неполными. Если бы эксперимент Майкельсона-Морли проводился в автотранспорте или самолете и использовался в них, для определения скорости. только тогда этот опыт будет прямым. Поэтому Эйнштейн не полагается на эксперимент Майкельсона-Морли. Вопрос к Вам: Есть ли у вас пример такого непосредственного опыта? Есть же возможности, школьникам и студентам, самим измерять большой взрыв Вселенной её тёмную энергию, чёрные дыры, … Соберём учебно/практические пособия? «лазерную рулетку *+опорное расстояние* в 1000000 м» и «Майкельсон Морли ГИБРИДНЫЙ гироскоп». (мы, не ищем эфир, Мы *увидим* как работает квантовая гравитация) Обращаюсь к Вам с предложением на совместное изобретения ГИБРИД гироскопа ИЗ НЕКРУГЛЫХ, двух катушек с новым типом оптического волокна с «полой сердцевиной из фотоно-замещенной вакуумной зоной или (NANF)», где - свет в каждом *плече* проходит по 250000 (в дальномере «+» опорных 1000000) метров при этом, не превышает параметры 84/84/84 см., и вес - 24кг. Предприятия по выпуску "Волоконно - оптических гироскопов" может выпускать ГИБРИД гироскопы и дальномеры, для учебно практического применения в школах и высших учебных заведений. Эйнштейна мечтал измерить скорость самолёта; 200, 300, 400, 500 м/сек - через опыт Майкельсона Морли 1881/2024 г., и только тогда, опыт будет прямой для СТО. И это возможно выполнить с помощью оптоволоконного ГИБРИД гироскопа. Вот исходя из выполненного более 70% опыта Майкельсона, возможно будет увидеть доказательства постулат: Свет - это упорядоченная вибрация гравитационных квантов и доминантные гравитационные поля корректируют скорость света в вакууме. Думаю, получится совершать научные открытия; по астрономии, астрофизике, космологии, высшей теоретической физике,.. В итоге *увидите* теорию всего в простых учебных устройствах.

    In her opinion multiverse is very solid hypothesis. Even Alan Guth wouldn't go so far with his own hypothesis. She said "the guy can't be wrong". Nothing in her talk was even slightly original. Perhaps I am demanding too much from 30 years of PHD production in chain, better known as "shut up and calculate". Most of them by now struggling to swallow current observations from JW telescope. I am referring to Black holes with billion time mass of the sun, already in the dawn of their prefered model of the universe started from the scratch 13.8 billion years ago.

    This human tendency to "seek beyond the appearance" is both what gives subjects delusions of what they see in the rosharch test and gives psychologists the delusions that the test is a valid projective test. Might it be that we prefer delusions to truth? Is this why religion is more attractive than science? Why radical ideology is preferable to pragmatism? How can we tell if a belief emerges from falsehood preference?

      Climategate", the email hack at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of east Anglia. Following the publication of the CRU emails, a number of climate change skeptics, including the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), called for official inquiries alleging that the researchers had committed fraud, and had improperly manipulated data. In response, the University of East Anglia, the British House of Commons, Pennsylvania State University, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Commerce, and the National Science Foundation all independently investigated the allegations of fraud and misconduct against Dr. Mann and others. Every one of these investigations concluded that there was no basis to the allegations of fraudulent conduct, data manipulation, or the like, exonerating Dr. Mann and the CRU researchers. The University of East Anglia convened an international Scientific Assessment Panel, in consultation with the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, chaired by Professor Ron Oxburgh. The Oxburgh Panel assessed the integrity of the research published by the CRU and found “no evidence of any deliberate scientific malpractice in any of the work of the Climatic Research Unit.” The United Kingdom’s House of Commons Science and Technology Committee published a report finding that the skeptics’ criticisms of the CRU were misplaced, and that CRU’s actions “were in line with common practice in the climate science community.” It also found that “there is no case to answer” with respect to accusations of dishonesty. Dansgaard-Oeschger events only occur during glaciated periods so we know they are not causing our current warming. "Look at the paleo records of co2 versus earth’s temperature and note that there is no correlation"... That is a lie.

      I live in Canada and I actually went to the Government of Canada website that shows historical forest fire data. I see no trend in the data. In fact the website shows that 2021 had the lowest number of fires and lowest area burned by fires by a country mile. One wonders if this had anything to do with lockdowns from COVID-19 which would prove most fires are caused by people being in the wilderness and igniting them. But go to the Government of Canada website and look for yourself….

    TH-cam censors decided this post should not be seen by the general public so they deleted it. They are worried the truth might upset their agenda. TH-cam needs to be broken up: Here is my "dangerous" comment, as in national socialist Germany truth is dying in the USA: NOAA maintains a network of 114 state-of-the art climate monitoring stations across the continental USA as well as Alaska and Hawaii. These stations are geographically evenly dispersed and located in places far removed from the urban heat islands (airports,, furnaces, air conditioning, auto and truck traffic, roads, parking lots, etc) that have formed a larger share of the highly inaccurate historical record that has been challenged by skeptics of climate doom. These 114 stations monitor not simply presumed temperature daily highs and lows divided by two to establish a mean "average" ( a ridiculous proposition), but a full array of climate data including temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed and direction etc. These sensors are triple-redundant where erroneous or spurious sensor data is automatically detected and rejected. They are scrupulously maintained to the highest standards of regimented calibration. They report by satellite link to a data collection network EVERY 5 Minutes. (No more ridiculous daily high+low divided by two regimen to represent a "daily average" but instead a fully integrated data to establish correct daily means as well as extremes This network is referred to as the USCRN (United States Climate Reference Network) and has been in operation since 2005 (nearly 19 years) The calculated results of a reliable climate data collection network (the world standand) 1) Absolutely no trend of increasing US temperatures: Only a statisically meaningless slight decrease in average temperature over the entire period of data collection. 2) Absolutely no trend of extreme climate events that could ever challenge those of the 1930s even with today's vast and ever increasing use of 'fossil' fuels. The climate extremes of the decade of the 1930s have not yet been matched. This is in contrast to the hysteric claims of hottest or coldest year/month/day etc ever recorded in the USA! The USA climate data collection is now the best in the world. If the USA climate has not changed at all, how come its exempt from Mann-made "climate change? " Riddle me this climate cultists!

(No more ridiculous daily high+low divided by two regimen to represent a "daily average" but instead a fully integrated data to establish correct daily means as well as extremes This network is referred to as the USCRN (United States Climate Reference Network) and has been in operation since 2005 (nearly 19 years) The calculated results of a reliable climate data collection network (the world standand) 1) Absolutely no trend of increasing US temperatures: Only a statisically meaningless slight decrease in average temperature over the entire period of data collection. 2) Absolutely no trend of extreme climate events that could ever challenge those of the 1930s even with today's vast and ever increasing use of 'fossil' fuels. The climate extremes of the decade of the 1930s have not yet been matched. This is in contrast to the hysteric claims of hottest or coldest year/month/day etc ever recorded in the USA! The USA climate data collection is now the best in the world. If the USA climate has not changed at all, how come its exempt from Mann-made "climate change? " Riddle me this climate cultists!

      Rising average temperature becomes obvious when you look at the last 50-100 years. Source: Climate Feedback, "Claim of no US warming since 2005 is directly contradicted by the data it is based on"

      @@garysarela4431 *RE: "Rising average temperature becomes obvious when you look at the last 50-100 years"* How does this become obvious to you? You cannot "look at" the last 50-100 years. You cannot "look at" at the average world temperature. There is no instrument known to man that can "record" the average world temperature, surface or otherwise. You can look at a graph but you will have no idea of how the numbers used to plot it were created. I suspect you have been well "educated," meaning trained like a show sea lion to recite what you have been rewarded to follow for simply repeating what you have been told. Do you have any critical thinking skills? If so tell us how you would determine "average surface temperature' for the Sahara desert was in 1923? (surface area 3,500,000 square miles) Antarctica? (Surface area 5,500,000 square miles) The Earths Oceans (139,000,000 square miles) Less than 1% of the Earth's surface area was systematically monitored in 1923, and often then with substandard instruments and methods most often within urban settings influenced by low albedo tar or concrete surfaces and multiple sources of heat releases by combustion (factories, furnaces, etc) There is no "record" of the average surface temperature of the Earth. The numbers used to create the fiction of a "record" were created by humans paid to find some reason to declare a crisis designed to transfer wealth and power from those who earned the right to use it to an army of unskilled political hacks. Do you think the 70,000 activists soon flying off, many in their executive jets, to COP 28 (28th annual Committee on Partying) for their annual climate party in the luxury resort city of Dubai are concerned about their over consumption of the Earths precious resources? The three Four Seasons Resort Hotels in Dubai are now fully booked Nov 28 - Dec 4 for these climate partiers (avg booking fee $2,500 pet night). Virtually none of this money has been either earned by its consumers or is taxable - its all "free" ( paid for by OPM, other peoples money, i.e. ours) Other than indulging in the most luxurious vacations available on the planet, what these climate partiers do is conspire with one another on new methods of extracting all the wealth that can from their victims without their knowledge or consent. All of this partying could be done by teleconferencing but then their crooked dealings would be made public and that's not only intolerable, its also not as fun. Ill bet Micheal Mann will be joining the partiers.
