Bar Soap and Liquid Soap

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> I wish to respond to the recent advertisement by Minnetonka, Inc (1983;250:3007), which implies a health risk to users of bar soaps, a type of product used daily by millions of persons in their homes and by physicians and medical personnel in hundreds of hospitals and clinics. This advertisement is deceptive in four important regards. It implies that an independent study has recently been published. In fact the study,¹which has been widely publicized in the press, has not been published and no publication date has yet been set (oral communication with the publishers of the Journal of Environmental Pathology, Toxicology, and Oncology, March 1984). Moreover, the study was financed by Minnetonka, Inc (The Detroit News, Nov 7, 1983, pp 1A, 10A), and the principal investigator, a professor at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, holds a patent (US 4,067,997; Jan 10, 1978) on

Anthropology has long grappled with the politics of critique. In critical global health studies, an emerging subfield of medical anthropology with roots in histories and geographies of colonial and international health, ethnographers negotiate relations and transactions in the field that pivot around boundaries at the core of our disciplinary practice: inside/outside, critique/complicity, theoretical/applied. Yet, while critique is a primary endeavor of the anthropologist, few have explicitly analyzed or reflected on its meanings, valences, affects, and entailments, particularly amid the rise of global health and the NGOization of the global South that inflects much of our work. In this essay, I reflect on the state of critique in critical global health studies, sketching its gestures, rhetoric, and intentions. Then, I trace some of the journeys of the bar of soap pictured below, an object that touched me in many senses of the term by intersecting, facilitating, and holding my anthropological interest for over a decade. Finally, drawing on recent feminist science studies scholarship, I suggest that critique, as entangled and entangling practice, is a form of care that might productively reframe anthropologists’ normative aspirations to ‘usefulness’ or ‘relevance’.

We define and put at the disposal of the community SOAP, Spot Oscillation And Planet, a software tool that simulates the effect of stellar spots and plages on radial velocimetry and photometry. This paper describes the tool release and provides instructions for its use. We present detailed tests with previous computations and real data to assess the code’s performance and to validate its suitability. We characterize the variations of the radial velocity, line bisector, and photometric amplitude as a function of the main variables: projected stellar rotational velocity, filling factor of the spot, resolution of the spectrograph, linear limb-darkening coefficient, latitude of the spot, and inclination of the star. Finally, we model the spot distributions on the active stars HD 166435, TW Hya and HD 189733, which reproduce the observations. We show that the software is remarkably fast, allowing several evolutions in its capabilities that could be performed to study the next challenges in the exoplanetary field connected with the stellar variability.

FILM INFORMATION &amp; CONTEXT&#13;\n&#13;\n'Soap' is a short dark comedy film, an experimental narrative: when Sami breaks into a house, he is disturbed by Sophia, the owner of the property, who lures the criminal into her bathtub. &#13;\n&#13;\nThe film premiered at the 2015 New Jersey International Film Festival, hosted at Rutgers University, where it opened the competition section and won an honorable mention. It was also screened at the 2015 Vancouver International Film Festival as part of their ‘Great Performances’ series. &#13;\n&#13;\nDIRECTOR'S STATEMENT&#13;\n&#13;\n'Soap' imagines a bathtub as a site of sexual encounter between a burglar and a homeowner. It’s initially a space in which classic cinematic tropes – film noir with a dash of British realism – are played out, but which soon morphs into a fantasy digital realm which bears more than a passing resemblance to an Xtube video. Sami, the burglar, reminds Sophia, the owner of the property, that they are lost in an endless flow of files, folders, clouds, and streams; all “compressed, but real as can be.” &#13;\n&#13;\nJust how anonymous is a sexual encounter when the participants themselves realize it is something worth watching? Sami and Sophia are trapped in a farce, self-consciously replete with hot criminals, cheating lovers, melodramatic revelations, and a mysterious pile of raspberry jelly (appropriately ~ formless).&#13;\n&#13;\nThe film is both an unabashed guilty pleasure and a formal experiment. We shot with a Pocket BlackMagic in a confined space, making extensive use of offscreen action and sound, restricting ourselves to close-ups once Sami and Sophia step into the bath. The insistently locked-off, shot-reverse-shot camerawork traces a route from classic noir to webcam aesthetics, thereby referencing a historical moment perhaps epitomized by the Andy Warhol film Trash (I was thinking of this film, and the ways it anticipates the staging of reality TV, when I wrote the script). The bath is a soapy realm of sexual transgression, a place where old is made new, where identities shape and blend, where performance endures. As Sami points out, wiping away his shaving foam, it’s just like the cinema.

Soap has been a common and important household article since ancient times. Until within the last fifty years its preparation was largely a home or domestic process, but recently its manufacture has been shifted from home to factory, and soap has become an important industrial product.

Christopher Brown (5718059) · Figshare · 2015

'Soap' (15 mins, directed by Christopher Brown) is an experimental black comedy set almost entirely in a bathtub. It’s meant to be entertaining and is full of sensational subject matter and melodramatic twists – but is also a formal experiment with performance in relation to confined cinematic space, and designed to pastiche commercial storytelling. When developing the project, I was thinking of 'Trash' (1970, directed by Paul Morrissey as an ‘Andy Warhol’ project) and the ways it anticipates the staging of reality TV, ideas I earlier explored as part of my PhD thesis on seventies American cinema. Morrissey followed Warhol in believing that films should focus on performance, specifically those of stars, developing a formal approach that offered a pioneering space for gay and trans representation, and transgressive, camp performances. Drawing on these ideas, I sought to explore the impact on the audience of performance saturation, rendered via spatial restriction (once the characters step into the bath, they do not leave), an insistent focus on close-up cinematography, and constant quick-fire dialogue. The construction of classical film space, and its techniques, are often seen both as conventional and as masking the ideological apparatus of film production. But if this was pushed to an extreme, and an entire film was allowed to play out largely in classical shot-reverse-shot, would it be possible to subvert the form from within? Could a film project conceived almost entirely in terms of pastiche enable the actors to deliver performances that underscored the constructed nature of gender and sexuality? Restricting the action both physically (the actors sit in a bath) and visually (we do not cut away from the bath once the actors are in it), I sought to explore the impact, in terms of filmmaking process, of directing screen performance in the context of a confined, intimate cinematic space. 'Soap' premiered at the 2015 New Jersey International Film Festival (30th May 2015), hosted at Rutgers University, where it opened the competition section and won an honorable mention. It was also screened at the 2015 Vancouver International Film Festival as part of their ‘Great Performances’ series.
