El fotógrafo rural Wifredo López Vecino se ha convertido en el testigo gráfico por excelencia de la transformación geomorfológica del Vado de Alconétar, en el río Tajo a su paso por la provincia de Cáceres, en la década de los años 60. Más allá del documento gráfico que ofrecen sus imágenes, fue capaz de recrear de manera autodidacta una poética de la composición muy personal, que aplicó a sus retratos y a los paisajes. Entre estos últimos, una de sus fotografías más emblemáticas es la del “El joven saltador ante los puentes”, de la que en el presente estudio se ofrece un detallado análisis iconográfico en consonancia con otras fotografías características de su producción y con otras obras de la tradición artística occidental y de la fotografía contemporáneas que constituyen referentes que permiten comprender el tratamiento de personas, paisajes y símbolos presentes en la imagen examinada. The rural photographer Wifredo López Vecino has become the graphic witness par excellence of the geomorphological transformation in the sixties of the Vado de Alconetar of the Tajo river as it passed through the province of Caceres. Beyond the graphic document offered by his images, he was able to recreate, in a self-taught way, a very personal poetics of composition, which he applied to his portraits and landscapes. Among the seconds, one of his most emblematic photographs is that of "The Young Jumper before the Bridges", of which this study offers a detailed iconographic analysis in line with other characteristic photographs of his production and with other works of Western artistic tradition and contemporary photography that constitute references that allow us to understand the treatment of people, landscapes and symbols present in the image examined.

Photoelectron microscopy is as old as electron microscopy itself. Electrons liberated from the object surface by photons are utilized to form an image that is a map of the object's emissivity. This physical property is a function of many parameters, some depending on the physical features of the objects and others on the conditions of the instrument rendering the image.The electron-optical situation is tricky, since the lateral resolution increases with the electric field strength at the object's surface. This, in turn, leads to small distances between the electrodes, restricting the photon flux that should be high for the sake of resolution.The electron-optical development came to fruition in the sixties. Figure 1a shows a typical photoelectron image of a polycrystalline tantalum sample irradiated by the UV light of a high-pressure mercury lamp.

Predominantly non-etiological conceptions have dominated the field of mental retardation (MR) since the discovery of the genetic etiology of Down syndrome (DS) in the sixties. However, contemporary approaches are becoming more etiologically oriented. Important differences across MR syndromes of genetic origin are being documented, particularly in the cognition and language domains, differences not explicable in terms of psychometric level, motivation, or other dimensions. This paper highlights the major difficulties observed in the oral language development of individuals with genetic syndromes of mental retardation. The extent of inter- and within-syndrome variability are evaluated. Possible brain underpinnings of the behavioural differences are envisaged. Cases of atypically favourable language development in MR individuals are also summarized and explanatory variables discussed. It is suggested that differences in brain architectures, originating in neurological development and having genetic origins, may largely explain the syndromic as well as the individual within-syndrome variability documented. Lastly, the major implications of the above points for current debates about modularity and developmental connectionism are spelt out.

This article aims to describe the processes leading to social integration of a Turkish community at the beginning of the sixties who were resident in a mining region in Belgium. The stages through which this immigrant working population had to go through are described here: and how it managed, within a third of century, to become established in the district, to structure itself in associations, to be recognized by the local authority and the institutional fabric of the host country, and finally, to sit down at the same table with the local councillors.

This roundtable grew out of conversations between filmmaker Rea Tajiri, programmer Abby Sun, and scholar Vince Schleitwiler about a misunderstood chapter in the history of Asian American film and media: New York City in the eighties, a vibrant capital of Asian American filmmaking with a distinctively experimental edge. To tell this story, Rea Tajiri contacted her artist contemporaries Shu Lea Cheang and Roddy Bogawa as well as writer and critic Daryl Chin. Daryl had been a fixture in New York City art circles since the sixties, his presence central to Asian American film from the beginning. The scope of this discussion extends loosely from the mid-seventies through the late nineties, with Tajiri, Abby Sun, and Vince Schleitwiler initiating topics, compiling responses, and finalizing its form as a collage-style conversation.
