Hauptbeschreibung: The apostle Paul's understanding of his role and responsibilities in transferring the cult of Jesus Christ to new lands to found new groups devoted to this immigrant son of God is not unique. His modus operandi cannot be adequately explained in terms of Jewish precedents. Rather, Paul's pattern is a creative appropriation of the enduring Greek model of the founder, the key figure in Greek imaginings of the formation of social space, whether colony or cult.

The use of indicators is not only technical and science-led, but also a value-laden social process, and thus concerns public participation, political judgment and decision-making. This article approaches the Chinese SEA indicator system from a science-policy interface and aims at: 1) contributing to the general recognition of indicators functioning at science-policy interfaces in SEA, and 2) analysing, through a Chinese case-study, to what extent national guidelines mediate the science-policy interaction. The overall finding is a strong emphasis on technical/science aspects found in the Chinese SEA guidance, and a weak explicit recognition that policy plays a role in choosing and using indicators. Recent development, however, indicates a growing recognition of the politics involved and thus also leads to more involvement of stakeholders.

This article explores the paradoxical relationship of European surrealism to Mexico in the 1930s and 1940s. I argue that while Mexico's historical circumstances in this period created a cultural atmosphere largely hostile to surrealism, its geography, racial mestizaje, and cultural traditions transformed the country into an ideal 'found object' for European surrealists. Rather than revealing itself to be the site of authentic existence sought by the surrealists, however, Mexico acted as a Rorschach image in which the surrealists revealed more about themselves than about the object of their fascination. In order to make sense of this complicated relationship, I examine several provocative texts by Antonin Artaud and André Breton (both of whom spent time in Mexico in the late 1930s) in the context of their reception by Mexican writers, who remained largely resistant to the magnetic pull of surrealism.
