Esta contribución completa la entrevista con Antonio Gilman Guillén, cuya primera parte se publicó en Trabajos de Prehistoria 77 (1). Gilman es Profesor Emérito de la California State University-Northridge (EE. UU.), fue director de Trabajos de Prehistoria (2015-2018) y ha dedicado la mayor parte de su trabajo a la Prehistoria Reciente de la península ibérica. Los temas tratados en esta segunda entrega se agrupan en dos bloques. En el primero de ellos se plasman sus reflexiones sobre la experiencia de su relación con la Arqueología española. Se repasan sus opiniones sobre la arqueología tradicional bajo el franquismo, el proceso de modernización, con sus rasgos específicos, y las tendencias recientes y los cambios más relevantes en el registro arqueológico. Estas cuestiones se abordan desde su experiencia como investigador extranjero en España y sus propias contribuciones científicas. También se presta atención a su actividad como recopilador crítico de la cronología radiocarbónica ibérica. El segundo bloque se dedica al contexto intelectual de su práctica arqueológica. Se discuten sus raíces en la segunda generación de la New Archaeology y las aportaciones del marxismo a la consolidación de un funcionalismo crítico con sentido histórico y sus referentes teóricos en la obra de autores como Childe, Adams o Wolf. Se examinan en este contexto sus puntos de vista en relación con algunos de los temas que definen el campo de su trabajo como prehistoriador: los problemas del origen de la desigualdad social y el Estado, las formas políticas de las “sociedades intermedias” y la “Revolución del Paleolítico Superior”. Se hace referencia también a los desafíos que presenta el desarrollo de la “ciencia arqueológica” y particularmente la paleogenética, y su influencia en el retorno de la arqueología histórico-cultural y difusionista. Finalmente, se valora la contraposición entre las tradiciones del historicismo europeo y la Arqueología antropológica norteamericana y el momento actual de esta última.

As today’s catastrophic Covid-19 pandemic exacerbates ongoing crises, including systemic racism, rising ethno-nationalism, and fossil-fuelled climate change, the neoliberal world that we inhabit is becoming increasingly hostile, particularly for the most vulnerable. Even in the United States, as armed white-supremacist, pro-Trump forces face off against protesters seeking justice for African Americans, the hostility is increasingly palpable, and often frightening. Yet as millions of Black Lives Matter protesters demonstrated after the brutal police killing of George Floyd, the current, intersecting crises – worsened by Trump’s criminalization of anti-racism protesters and his dismissal of science – demand a serious, engaged, response from activists as well as artists. The title of this article is meant to evoke not only the state of the unusually cruel moment through which we are living, but also the very different approaches to performance of both Brecht and Artaud, whose ideas, along with those of others – including Benjamin, Butler, Latour, Mbembe, and Césaire – inform the radical, open-ended, post-pandemic theatre practice proposed in this essay. A critically acclaimed dramatist as well as Professor of English and Playwriting at California State University, Northridge, Mitchell’s published volumes of plays include Disaster Capitalism; or Money Can’t Buy You Love: Three Plays; Brecht in L.A.; and Ventriloquist: Two Plays and Ventriloquial Miscellany. He is the editor of Experimental O’Neill, and is currently at work on a series of post-pandemic plays.

AbstractVirtual twins (VTs; same-age unrelated siblings reared together from early infancy) have been studied at California State University (CSU), Fullerton since 1991. The current sample includes over 130 pairs. Past and current research have research have focused on siblings' similarities and differences in general intelligence and body size. Future research in these areas will continue as new pairs continue to be identified. These studies will be supplemented by analyses of personality, social relations and adjustment using monozygotic (MZ) twins, dizygotic (DZ) twins, full siblings and friends, as well as new VTs, who have participated in Twins, Adoptees, Peers and Siblings (TAPS), a collaborative project conducted between CSU Fullerton and the University of San Francisco, from 2002 to 2006.

   The term justice has become a catchphrase in education, used often and yet still evasive. In an attempt to define justice in research, policy, and practice, the California State University, Sacramento Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership invited preeminent scholars into the conversation through a public webinar series. Hundreds of people tuned in to listen and learn—some sessions having over 350 active participants. The attendees represented a unique cross-section of stakeholders: about 1/3 from universities, 1/3 from school districts, and 1/3 from community groups. Each webinar began and closed with music (e.g., Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now) that curated and uplifted the virtual space. Local spoken word artists were also invited
