Faunal resource use in the Solutrean of Western-Central Iberia: The case of Gruta do Caldeirão (Tomar, Portugal)
Gruta do Caldeirão (Tomar, Portugal), first excavated in 1979–1988, contains a well-dated stratigraphic sequence spanning the last 60,000 years of the region’s Prehistory.

A Celebration of Mature Love: Posthuman Sexuality, Gender, and Romance in Kim Stanley Robinson's 2312
Kim Stanley Robinson's novel 2312 (2012) has been mainly approached from an ecocritical perspective. I focus here, however, on the love story between its protagonists, Swan Er Hong and Fitz Wahram. Robinson considers posthuman sexuality and gender, and the meaning of marriage in the posthuman future of our species. Swan and Wahram disrupt intersexuality, heterosexuality, femininity, and masculinity from a progressive perspective, but Robinson's m…
