Sommario/riassunto

This volume introduces readers to the world of disordered systems and to some of the remarkable probabilistic techniques developed in the field. The author explores in depth a class of directed polymer models to which much attention has been devoted in the last 25 years, in particular in the fields of physical and biological sciences. The models treated have been widely used in studying, for example, the phenomena of polymer pinning on a defect line, the behavior of



copolymers in proximity to an interface between selective solvents and the DNA denaturation transition. In spite of the apparent

Sommario/riassunto

Reflecting the continuing interest in diaspora and transnationalism, this collection of critical essays is located at the intersection of gender and diaspora studies, exploring multiple ways in which literature negotiates, interprets and performs gender within established and emerging ethnic spaces. Based on current theories of diaspora, as well as feminist and queer studies, this collection focuses on close textual interpretation framed by cultural and literary theory. Targeted at both the a.
