Territory Border

In the early morning hours of December 19, 1975, a shooting incident took place at the inter-German border, on the boundary line between Thuringia and Bavaria, near the East German town of Hildburghausen. According to West German border guards on duty at the time, the moonlit calm of a cold and clear winter night was disrupted around 2:25 a.m. by the sound of submachine-gun fire from the eastern side of the boundary. During the next hours plenty of additional commotion ensued on East German territory: border soldiers combed the terrain behind the border; officers drove around directing the proceedings; helicopters buzzed overhead. Based on their observation of similar past incidents, West German authorities quickly deduced what had probably taken place: an attempted escape across the heavily fortified German-German border. The main variables not known at the time were whether the attempt had been successful and whether anyone had been hurt.

Species in the Pseudomys australis complex were historically widely distributed in a variety of habitats over southern Australia. By 1990 the group had apparently declined to a single species in the centre of its former range in the north-western Lake Eyre Basin, in gibber plain areas. In the past, the species has been collected only after exceptional annual rainfall. This study sought to define the current distribution of P. australis and to determine its preferred habitats during the usual prolonged dry periods. Allozyme electrophoresis on blood and tissue samples were used to investigate the genetic distinctiveness of geographically separated populations. The known distribution has been extended along a belt of gibber habitats running from north-west of Lake Eyre on the Northern Territory border to south of Lake Eyre South, and a discrete population inhabiting gibber tableland west of Lake Torrens. Pseudomys australis was extant in low-lying patches of deep cracking clay associated with minor drainage features and small depressions of cracking clay ‘gilgai’ common on some gibber plains. The former type sustained significantly denser populations, which we suggest represent ‘source’ habitats or ‘refugia’ during droughts. Many of the 16 localities at which the species was recorded are geographically separated; however, electrophoretic analyses showed high levels of allozyme heterozygosity and no evidence of speciation.

Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo realizar uma discussão sobre a fronteira entre o Haiti e a República Dominicana partindo de uma reflexão sobre as zonas de fronteiras e a dinâmica socioespacial e territorial no caso da cidade de Jimaní e o posto fronteiriço de Malpasse/Fonds-Parisien. Essas relações mantidas na fronteira dos dois países são relevantes para a dinamização socioespacial e a formação territorial nas escalas nacionais dos Estados. Percebermos que a dinâmica da economia local criada na fronteira permite que as populações comercializem bens e serviços, tornando-se atrativas ao se observar o movimento da mercadoria binacional. Buscamos, então, analisar, por processo de abertura e fechamento da fronteira, os principais papéis da fronteira na política da economia urbana voltada a uma desaceleração ou aceleração da economia das cidades fronteiriças. Sendo assim, a economia promovida na fronteira visa à mudança de escala, e, portanto, busca-se analisar as realidades socioculturais regionais em condições de criar identidades e estruturas econômicas de maior valor agregado nas relações comerciais entre esses Estados.Palavras–chave: Fronteira, Estado, território nacional, população de fronteira.Abstract This work has as main objective to carry out a discussion about the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Starting from a reflection on the zones of sources and the socio-spatial and territorial dynamics in the case of the city of Jimaní and the border post of Malpasse/Fonds-Parisien. These relations maintained at the border of the two countries are relevant for socio-spatial dynamization and territorial formation in the national scales of the States. We realise that the dynamics of the local economy created at the border allows the populations to market goods and services, becoming attractive when observing the movement of the binational merchandise. We seek to analyse, by process of opening and closing the frontier, the primary roles of the frontier in the urban economic policy aimed at a slowdown or acceleration in the economy of the border cities.Thus, the economy promoted at the frontier aims at a change of scale, and then, we will seek to analyse regional socio-cultural realities capable of creating identities and economic structures of more significant value added in commercial relations between states.Keywords: Border, State, national territory, border of population.

The Carpentaria Basin is an epeirogenic intracratonic downwarping which formed during the Mesozoic. It is the northernmost of three main Jurassic-Cretaceous downwarps forming the Great Australian Artesian Basin. The basin is filled with clastic sediments, predominantly derived from Precambrian ridges on the flanks of the basin, which thicken gradually from the basin margins towards the depocentre.The Carpentaria Basin is analogous to the Eromanga Basin immediately to the south, and several rock units were deposited contemporaneously in both basins so that they can be mapped in the subsurface from one basin to the next. There is no change in sedimentary style or lithology.The character of the Base Mesozoic Unconformity, over which the Carpentaria Basin was deposited, changes abruptly from east to west. East of a point approximately coincident with the Queensland-Northern Territory border the unconformity surface is flat and featureless but to the west it becomes very rugged and irregular. This rugged horizon is believed to reflect either ancient karst topography or extensive reefal build-up equivalent to dolomite intersected in Burketown 1. Based on correlations with the McArthur and Georgina Basins it is probably Cambrian or Proterozoic in age. These rocks are known elsewhere to be porous and permeable.The unconformity shelves to the west towards Groote Island and the Northern Territory mainland and sediments of the Carpentaria Basin onlap a shallowing ancient landscape. The western boundary of the basin believed to be prospective for hydrocarbons is taken as the limit of deposition of the Cretaceous Gilbert River Formation.Lithologies and the existence of aquifers in the onshore Carpentaria Basin indicate that suitable reservoirs are present. Sandstones in the Cretaceous Gilbert River Formation, the Jurassic Eulo Queen Group and the Hutton Sandstone have the best reservoir potential. The Gilbert River Formation is the primary objective because it was extensively deposited throughout the basin, whereas Jurassic sandstones are restricted to topographic lows.The Gilbert River Formation is sourced and sealed by shales of the Wallumbilla Formation. Onshore this formation is too shallow to be mature but seismic indicates that offshore it is sufficiently deeply buried to be producing and expelling hydrocarbons.The hydrocarbon prospects of the Carpentaria Basin have in the past been considered low because the Mesozoic sequence onshore is thin and even offshore the total thickness of Mesozic and Cainozoic sediments is only about 1760 m at its maximum. This judgement ignored the fact that, although no economic hydrocarbon discoveries have been recorded from the Carpentaria Basin and/or the underlying Palaeozoic Basins, several shows have been reported. Shows reported in onshore wells suggest hydrocarbon generation within the basin. Geochemical and palynological studies carried out on samples from onshore wells and bores indicate the basal Mesozoic sequence is within geochemical Zone II, where the actual generation of hydrocarbons occurs but where significant mobilization and effective oil expulsion do not take place. These data suggest the deeper offshore portion of the basin should be within the oil window.

In this paper we provide a coarse comparison between camel density estimates derived from aerial surveys conducted during the early and latter stages of the Australian Feral Camel Management Project, considering the number of camels removed between the surveys as a result of management intervention across three large and distinct geographic zones. Overall, despite the assumptions made during our analyses and possible errors associated with these, the post-aerial surveys in all three zones show a significant population decline compared with the corresponding pre-aerial surveys. The observed population decline in two zones (the Pilbara and that centred on the South Australia-Western Australia-Northern Territory border junction) were broadly consistent with the number of camels removed in each zone between aerial surveys. The population decline detected in the third zone (the Simpson Desert) was much greater than the known removals and there appeared to be another factor involved, possibly drought-induced natural mortality. We raise a number of concerns about making this type of comparison, including the limitations of working with a highly mobile species distributed across a broad landscape and the low number of aerial surveys available for this type of comparison due to a limited project monitoring budget.

First Time

In his poems, Paul Celan does not use words such as territory, border, border crossing, and only very rarely the word space. I would like to reconstruct the traces of ?Heimat? in Celan (in a number of poems from different periods ?Heimat? plays an important role), and perhaps try to describe what Heimat might have meant for the young Paul Antschel (his real name). That is to say, I would like to understand whether ?Heimat? is synonymous with what Celan speaks about, many years after his name change, in the address given on the occasion of the Georg-Buechner-Preis: ?Ich suche auch, denn ich bin ja wieder da, wo ich begonnen habe, den Ort meiner eigenen Herkunft.? In the poems written at the time when Antschel is learning Hebrew as well as reading Martin Buber (Israel Chalfen) for the first time, I look for some basic figures Celan ties to his life in Bukovina at the time, in the environment of Czernowitzer Judentums. Aside from the works by Israel Chalfen, Else Keren and Elke Guenzel, I would like to make use of a book published some ten years ago, a detailed listing of Celan?s Paris library. I would like to consult this archive in the coming period, since Celan punctuated the margins of many of those books with evocations of his early creative period.
