Reintroduction of a neonatal Woolly monkey Lagothrix lagotricha at Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre, UK, following separation from mother by dominant male at birth

ABSTRACT Although relatively common among omnivorous primates, anurophagy is still poorly documented in frugivorous species. Here we report the predation of a giant gladiator treefrog (Boana boans) by a large arboreal frugivore, the gray woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha cana). The predation event occurred in a stretch of riparian forest located in a fragmented region in Cacoal, Rondônia state, in southwestern Brazilian Amazonia. Anurans can be a profitable, non-contested, and relatively easily acquired alternative resource for gray woolly monkeys, helping to fulfill their demand for protein, especially in periods of fruit scarcity. This new record broadens the knowledge on the natural history and predators of the giant gladiator frog.

Nahdlatul Ulama

This article aims to offer a textual analysis of Rahima and Fahmina’s publications. Rahima and Fahmina are two Non-Government Organizations founded in 2000 by a young generation of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), one of the largest moderate Muslim organizations in Indonesia. There are more similarities than differences between Rahima and Fahmina because the persons involved in the organizations are close friends and, in fact, the same persons even though both are based in two different cities. Since their foundation, both Rahima and Fahmina have published many books and magazines. This article argues that both Rahima dan Fahmina publications offer a new grounded feminist approach to Islam, which counterbalance the dominant male-biased normative approach to Islam in most Muslim societies. These publications are based on their feminist activism and community engagement with the grass-root level of many Nahdlatul Ulama pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools). The topics of their publication cover many current issues such as fiqh of women’s reproductive rights and empowerment, fiqh of the daily life of migrant workers, fiqh of anti-trafficking, prevention of child marriage, violent extremism and religious pluralism. As a result, the progressive nature of their publications negates the existing label of NU as the traditionalist organization.

The Way

Within Sacher-Masoch’s Venus in Furs, this chapter argues, Roman antiquity represents a privileged landscape of error, while the protagonists, Severin and Wanda, portray their “perverse” sexual predilections as error of a distinctly Roman kind. Delving further than any previous critic into the novella’s classical allusions, this chapter shows how Sacher-Masoch’s narrative depends on reversing elements of Lucretius, Ovid, and Apuleius. This chapter also demonstrates how this relates to the way in which a concept of reversal in general—especially the normative paradigm of the sexually dominant male and submissive female—organizes the text’s very structure. Extending Deleuze’s views on the centrality of the contract to masochistic fantasy, this chapter highlights the contract as a textual device able to represent the short circuit of the masochistic aesthetic, within which antiquity plays a major role.
