Trash and Limits in Latin American Culture
The ecological, social, and aesthetic functions of garbage in literature and film from Argentina to MexicoThis book looks at the role of waste in Latin American cultural texts from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and makes the case for foregrounding trash as an object of analysis in literary and cultural studies in Spanish America and Brazil.By considering how writers and filmmakers engage with the theme, Micah McKay argues that garbage illuminates key limits related to the region’s experience with contemporary capitalism. Recognizing trash as an important social reality, McKay traces its appearance in a diverse range of products: novels and documentary films with dumps as settings, short stories whose main characters are garbage pickers, and works that portray writing as a process of piecing together found materials.McKay argues that waste and the problems it poses are key to understanding marginalization, political struggle, and the production of aesthetic value. Drawing on insights from material ecocriticism, discard studies, and biopolitics, McKay theorizes that trash opens a space of reflection on what it means to be human, the possibilities for building community amid catastrophe, gendered notions of labor and care, and the pitfalls of neoliberal environmentalism. McKay shows how trash in literature and film helps readers and viewers contemplate the limits of how we inhabit the planet. Publication of this work made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

What limits phosphorus?
Phosphorus is primarily limited by its availability in the environment. It is often found in the form of phosphates in soil and water, but its availability can be limited by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of other nutrients. Excessive phosphorus can also lead to eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems, causing harmful algal blooms and disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. Proper management of phosphorus through practices such as reducing fertilizer use and implementing nutrient management strategies is essential to prevent its overabundance in the environment.

Additionally, economic and social inequalities can limit individuals' freedom by creating barriers to access resources and opportunities. Furthermore, personal beliefs and fears can also limit freedom by influencing individuals to self-censor or conform to certain expectations.

Does technology have limits?
Technology does have limits, as it is ultimately created and controlled by humans. While technology has advanced significantly in recent years, there are still challenges and limitations in areas such as energy efficiency, data security, and ethical considerations. Additionally, there are physical limits to how small and powerful technology can become, as well as limitations in our understanding of certain scientific principles.

Limits of Language
On October 11th, Field Music will release 'Limits of Language', their first album of new music for almost four years. Back in 2022, the touring cycle for the 'Flat White Moon' album ended with a sense of finality. For the first time since the Mercury-nominated 'Plumb' ten years earlier, Peter and David had no plan for what, if anything, would come next. However, after six years of continuation, they were clear that if Field Music was to carry on then it would have to be different, in both sound and scope. Solo projects followed with 2023 seeing the arrival of David's quietly-jazzy 'Soft Struggles', the playful of electronica of Peter's Blowdry Colossus alongside a limited-issue brass collaboration LP 'Binding Time' and the vault-raiding 'John Monroe' EP, made with original Field Music keyboard player Andrew Moore. It was these albums that provided fresh impetus for what was to become the new Field Music record. Whilst Peter amassed the instrumental compositions which become Blowdry Colossus, he was also tinkering with a batch of songs which would form the basis of 'Limits of Language', songs which mixed synthesised textures with off-the-cuff flickers of guitar and layers of disorientating found-sound percussion.

Impossibility : The Limits of Science and the Science of Limits
What can we never do? Barrow looks at what limits there might be to human discovery, and what we might find, ultimately, to be unknowable, undoable, or unthinkable.Science is a big success story, but where will it end? And, indeed, will it end? Weaving together a tapestry of surprises, Barrow explores the frontiers of knowledge.We find that the notion of 'impossibility' has played a striking role in our thinking.Surrealism, impossible figures, time travel, paradoxes of logic and perspectives - all stimulate us to contemplate something more than what is.Using simple explanations, it shows the reader that impossibility is a deep and powerful notion; that any Universe complex enough to contain conscious beings will contain limits on what those beings can know about their Universe; that what we cannot know defines reality as surely as what we can know.

Probing the Limits of Categorization : The Bystander in Holocaust History
Of the three categories that Raul Hilberg developed in his analysis of the Holocaust—perpetrators, victims, and bystanders—it is the last that is the broadest and most difficult to pinpoint.Described by Hilberg as those who were “once a part of this history,” bystanders present unique challenges for those seeking to understand the decisions, attitudes, and self-understanding of historical actors who were neither obviously the instigators nor the targets of Nazi crimes.Combining historiographical, conceptual, and empirical perspectives on the bystander, the case studies in this book provide powerful insights into the complex social processes that accompany state-sponsored genocidal violence.
