This article explores the ways in which a series of artistic activism groups in the recent history of social protest in Argentina, including Mujeres Públicas, Fugitivas del Desierto and Serigrafistas Queer, linked to the feminist, lesbian and sex-dissident movements, occupied public space and social mobilizations through a set of visual devices and performative actions that can be thought of as forms of queer appropriation of childish imaginaries. Appealing to the critical resemantization of the hetero-reproductive economies inscribed both in the bodily choreographies of popular games and in the material life of the toys they used, these groups mobilized public images through naive affects such as cuteness, tenderness and joy to make visible, interrupt, and also divert the productive scripts of modern sex-politics and instituted notions of politics. --- Este artículo explora los modos en que una serie de grupos de activismo artístico en la historia reciente de la protesta en Argentina, entre ellos Mujeres Públicas, Fugitivas del Desierto y Serigrafistas Queer, vinculados a los movimientos feministas, lésbicos y sexodisidentes, ocuparon el espacio público, y las movilizaciones sociales, a través de un conjunto de dispositivos visuales y acciones performáticas que pueden pensarse como formas de apropiación queer de los imaginarios infantiles. Apelando, entonces, a la resemantización crítica de las economías heteroreproductivas inscritas tanto en las coreografías corporales de los juegos populares como en la vida material de los juguetes que utilizaron, movilizaron imágenes públicas a través de afectos ingenuos como lo lindo, la ternura y la alegría para visibilizar, interrumpir y desviar los guiones productivos de la sexopolítica moderna y las nociones instituidas del acontecimiento político.

I begin my exploration of ‘Ali Mubarak (1823/4–1893) and the discourses on modernization ‘performed’ in his only attempt at fiction, ‘Alam al-Din (The Sign of Religion, 1882), with a quote from Guy Davenport because it elegantly sums up a key theoretical principle underpinning any discussion of cultural transformation and, more particularly, of modernization. Locating ‘Ali Mubarak and his only fictional work at the juncture of the transformation from the ‘traditional’ to the ‘modern’ in the recent history of Arab culture and of Arabic narrative, I find Davenport's pronouncement tantalizingly appropriate. He not only places the stakes of history and geography in one another, but simultaneously opens up the imagination to the combined forces of time and space that stand behind these two distinct yet related disciplines.

The article approaches mobility through a cultural history of urban conflict. Using a case of “The Copenhagen Trouble,“ a series of riots in the Danish capital around 1900, a space of subversive mobilities is delineated. These turn-of-the-century riots points to a new pattern of mobile gathering, the swarm; to a new aspect of public action, the staging; and to new ways of configuring public space. These different components indicate an urban assemblage of subversion, and a new characterization of the “throwntogetherness“ of the modern public.

<span>The very nature of chemistry presents us with a tension. A tension between the exhilaration of diversity of substances and forms on the one hand and the safety of fundamental unity on the other. Even just the recent history of chemistry has been al1 about this tension, from the debates about Prout's hypothesis as to whether there is a primary matter in the 19th century to the more recent speculations as to whether computers will enable us to virtually dispense with experimental chemistry.</span>
