Potential History : Unlearning Imperialism
In this theoretical tour-de-force, renowned scholar Ariella Aïsha Azoulay calls on us to recognize the imperial foundations of knowledge and to refuse its strictures and its many violences. Azoulay argues that the institutions that make our world, from archives and museums to ideas of sovereignty and human rights to history itself, are all dependent on imperial modes of thinking.Imperialism has segmented populations into differentially governed groups, continually emphasised the possibility of progress while trying to destroy what came before, and voraciously sought out the new by sealing the past away in dusty archival boxes and the glass vitrines of museums. By practising what she calls potential history, Azoulay argues that we can still refuse the imperial violence that shattered communities, lives, and worlds, from native peoples in the Americas to the Congo ruled by Belgium's brutal King Léopold II, from dispossessed Palestinians in 1948 to displaced refugees in our own day.In Potential History, Azoulay travels alongside historical companions - an old Palestinian man who refused to leave his village in 1948, an anonymous woman in war-ravaged Berlin, looted objects and documents torn from their worlds and now housed in archives and museums - to chart the ways imperialism has sought to order time, space, and politics. Rather than looking for a new future, Azoulay calls upon us to rewind history and unlearn our imperial rights, to continue to refuse imperial violence by making present what was invented as "past" and making the repair of torn worlds the substance of politics.

Collaboration : A Potential History of Photography
A new, revolutionary history of photography from a stellar team of writers and thinkers that challenges all existing narratives by focusing on the complex collaborations between photographer and subject. Collaboration presents a groundbreaking and multifaceted history of photography which explores photography through the lens of collaboration, challenging the dominant narratives around photographic history and authorship.In a vast, collaborative effort led by five of the great thinkers and practitioners in photography that includes more than 550 photographs and over 80 text contributors, this book breaks apart photography’s ‘single creator’ tradition by bringing to light tangible traces of collaboration – the various relationships, exchanges and interactions which occur between all participants in the event of photography. This book will provide the keys to understanding and decoding the complex politics of seeing.The conditions of collaboration in photography are explored through over 100 photography projects, divided into eight thematic chapters.The photographs from each project are presented non-hierarchically alongside quotes, testimonies, and short texts by guest contributors.These networks of texts and images provide perspective on a vast array of photographic themes, from Araki’s provocative portraits of women to archival files from the Spanish Civil War. Collaboration is not an ultimate account of what photography is, does, or means.Rather, the book is an inspiration for teaching and an open invitation to scholars, activists, photographers and others to practice always with and alongside others and participate actively in this engagement and enquiry.

Killer Potential
Decisions were made: I made them. Violence was done: I did it. Crime scenes were fled: I fled them. People were hurt: I hurt them. Someone was loved: I loved them. Not everything I did was bad. Just most of it. A scholarship kid with straight As and big dreams, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she'd be someone.But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as an SAT tutor for the super-rich of Los Angeles. Everything changes one Sunday, when she arrives for a weekly lesson at the Victors' Beverly Hills mansion to discover pure carnage: the bloody remains of Mr. and Mrs. Victor sullying their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help from within the walls of the family's estate.Within moments, Evie and the woman go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives.Anointed the new Charles Manson by the press, a bloodthirsty ninety-nine percenter hoping to spark a class war, Evie is finally someone. At the heart of a nationwide manhunt, Evie is desperate to clear her name.But first she'll have to break down the barriers of her new companion - who is inscrutable, surprisingly skilled at being on the run, and quickly becoming the most important person in Evie's upside-down life.

What is the difference between equilibrium potential, resting potential, and membrane potential?
Equilibrium potential is the membrane potential at which the net flow of a particular ion across the membrane is zero. Resting potential is the membrane potential of a cell when it is at rest, typically around -70 millivolts in neurons. Membrane potential refers to the difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of a cell, which is maintained by the selective permeability of the cell membrane to different ions. In summary, equilibrium potential is the potential at which there is no net flow of ions, resting potential is the potential of a cell at rest, and membrane potential is the overall potential across the cell membrane.

What is potential energy or gravitational potential energy?
Potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field. It is the energy that an object has because of its height above the ground. The higher an object is lifted, the greater its gravitational potential energy. This energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the object is allowed to fall or move downward.
-
How is the resting potential and membrane potential created?
The resting potential is created by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane. This is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. The membrane potential is created by the separation of charges across the cell membrane, with the inside of the cell being more negatively charged compared to the outside. This is due to the presence of negatively charged proteins inside the cell and the movement of ions across the membrane.

What is the difference between potential and potential difference?
Potential refers to the amount of stored energy in an object due to its position or state, while potential difference is the difference in potential energy between two points in a system. In other words, potential is a scalar quantity that represents the energy at a single point, while potential difference is a vector quantity that represents the change in energy between two points. Potential is measured in joules, while potential difference is measured in volts.

Potential Russia
Richard Washburn Child was an American author and diplomat who served as the U.S. ambassador to Italy between 1921 and 1924 during the rise of fascism in that country.Earlier, however, Child visited Russia on the eve of the revolution and was greatly impressed with what he saw.He praised the Russians for their spirit and independence.He optimistically believed that Russia was a dormant force ready to liberate itself from its feudal past and spring forward into modernity.He describes Russia’s resources, both natural and human, and attempts to explain the Russian mindset. Child acknowledged rumours of a stirring revolutionary mood, but he did not believe they were accurate.Reading his observations, given what we know would soon happen, is both fascinating and poignant.Child would later go on to be a huge supporter of Mussolini and editor of the dictator’s autobiography. Child urged the United States to establish partnerships with Russia and create opportunities with this powerful nation before other countries beat them to it.He believed that Great Britain was already taking steps to invest in Russia.Child also emphasised the importance of sending representatives to Russia who actually understood the customs and spoke the language.

Art History for Comics : Past, Present and Potential Futures
This book looks at comics through the lens of Art History, examining the past influence of art-historical methodologies on comics scholarship to scope how they can be applied to Comics Studies in the present and future.It unearths how early comics scholars deployed art-historical approaches, including stylistic analysis, iconography, Cultural History and the social history of art, and proposes how such methodologies, updated in light of disciplinary developments within Art History, could be usefully adopted in the study of comics today.Through a series of indicative case studies of British and American comics like Eagle, The Mighty Thor, 2000AD, Escape and Heartbreak Hotel, it argues that art-historical methods better address overlooked aspects of visual and material form.Bringing Art History back into the interdisciplinary nexus of comics scholarship raises some fundamental questions about the categories, frameworks and values underlying contemporary Comics Studies.

What is the resting potential and the membrane potential?
The resting potential is the electrical potential difference across the membrane of a neuron when it is not being stimulated. It is typically around -70 millivolts and is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the membrane. The membrane potential refers to the difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of the cell membrane, which is essential for the transmission of signals in neurons.

What is a potential well in the physics of the sun?
A potential well in the physics of the sun refers to the region where the gravitational force is strong enough to confine the hot, dense plasma within the sun's core. This gravitational force creates a well-like shape in the potential energy of the particles, with the deepest point at the center of the sun. The potential well is crucial for maintaining the high temperature and pressure necessary for nuclear fusion to occur, which is the process that powers the sun and produces its energy. Without the potential well, the plasma would expand and disperse, and the sun would not be able to sustain its energy production.

What is a potential difference and what is a potential?
A potential difference, also known as voltage, is the difference in electric potential between two points in an electric circuit. It is measured in volts and represents the amount of work needed to move a unit of electric charge between the two points. Potential, on the other hand, refers to the electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. It is a scalar quantity that helps determine the direction in which electric charges will move in a circuit.

What is the difference between action potential and resting potential?
Resting potential is the electrical charge across the cell membrane of a neuron when it is not sending signals. It is typically around -70 millivolts. Action potential, on the other hand, is a brief electrical impulse that travels down the axon of a neuron when it is stimulated. It is a rapid change in the membrane potential from negative to positive, and it is the basis for neural communication. In summary, resting potential is the baseline electrical charge of a neuron, while action potential is the transient change in electrical charge that allows for communication between neurons.
