Signify a lack

As Brown states, anthropometric grids were commonly used in 19th Century ethnographic photography to make objective studies of non-western bodies: highlighting physical differences which had grown to signify a lack of civilization to the western eye. Grids were particularly useful in this way as they gave photographic work the 'aesthetic of science - dispassionate, orderly, coherent' (Solnit, 2003, p195) which helped boost the truth-value of the photograph, and therefore helped inscribe racial.

There are signifi cant development plans for the Northern Precinct in coming years, however no development approvals have been granted, so in the short term an undersupply in the marketplace is anticipated. Pent-up demand for product within this precinct will also ensure an oversupply is not apparent when these new developments, for example Barangaroo and Gold Fields House, are released to the market. What does a dwindling supply level really mean to the consumer? In all likelihood a lack of supply will translate into further upward pressures on prices for apartments.

The paradox of phallocentrism in aIl its manifestations is that it depends on the image of the castrated woman to give order and meaning to its world.

Once this has been achieved, her meaning in the process is at an end, it does not last into the world of law and language except as a memory which oscillates between memory of maternal plenitude and memory of lack. Both are posited on nature (or on anatomy in Freud's famous phrase). Woman's desire is subjected to her image as bearer of the bleeding wound, she can exist only in relation to castration and cannot transcend it.

The main reason for this lack of statistical significance is the large standard deviation of daily returns, about 1 percent, which swamps in magnitude the difference in returns. We also investigate whether the identified difference in returns between new moon and full moon windows is persistent. As a measure of persistence, we calculate the percentage of years in which mean new moon daily returns are higher than mean full moon returns. For the DJIA, this number is 56.3 percent, which is moderately above the 50 percent that would be expected by chance.
