The Mediterranean island of Cyprus is the site of enduring political, military, and economic conflict. This interdisciplinary collection takes Cyprus as a geographical, cultural and political point of reference for understanding how conflict is mediated, represented, reconstructed, experienced, and transformed. Through methodologically diverse case studies of a wide range of topics—including public art, urban spaces, and print, broadcast and digital media—it assembles an impressively multifaceted perspective, one that provides broad insights into the complex interplay of culture, conflict, and identity.

During the late stages of infection, adenoviruses inhibit cap-dependent host protein synthesis and allow the selective translation of viral mRNAs through ribosome shunting. This process is mediated by the non-structural L4100k protein, which also regulates hexon trimerization and assembly in the nucleus. However, it is not known how L4100k switches between these two functions. In this study, we show that the multifunctional properties of L4100k are regulated, at least in part, by arginine methylation of the RGG domain within the C-teminus of the protein, and that arginine methylation is a critical cellular function necessary for productive adenovirus infection.
Using the Cyprus conflict as a case study, this book examines how the securitization process in protracted conflict environments changes, as it becomes routinized and potentially even institutionalized. Furthermore, the process is not limited to the mainstream top-down path, as it also follows a horizontal and even bottom-up direction, which inevitably has an impact on the goals and securitization options of both the mainstream securitizing actors and the audience(s). Lastly, on a theoretical level it examines how the multi-directional securitization forces have an impact on the elite and audience-driven desecuritization efforts and ultimately on the prospects for conflict resolution. The book’s case study, the Cyprus question, offers an alternative reading of the forces dominating the specific conflict, while concurrently offers a useful framework for the study of similar protracted and deeply securitized conflicts.
