Children's perceptions of the health of packaged food
The food environment provides an abundance of energy-dense packaged food, some specifically designed to attract children. The appeal of these energy-dense child-targeted foods can have health implications. Some children may be more susceptible to their appeal due to temperamental differences, namely their levels of impulsivity and inhibitory control. This study aimed to determine whether the temperamental dimensions of impulsivity and inhibitory …
Strange witness
The paper offers a reading of the work of the artist Rachel Whiteread. The reception of Whiteread's work has focused on its site-specific, symbolic and memorial nature, the work understood as a series of mediations of and metonymies for hidden social and personal contexts and histories. The paper claims that such accounts overlook what may be a more radical and disquieting aspect of Whiteread’s work; that Whiteread’s sculptures may be understood …
This Girl Can(’t)
We examine the potential unforeseen consequences from Sport England’s This Girl Can (2015) promotion program, specifically arguing that the campaign videos released in 2015 and 2017 take the previously narrow heteronormative gaze of desire, and inclusively apply it to all women, suggesting empowerment where there is only sexual subjectification. Overall, what prevails is a campaign that presents the female body – historically a locus of social co…

Ethical Issues in Consent for the Reuse of Data in Health Data Platforms
Data platforms represent a new paradigm for carrying out health research. In the platform model, datasets are pooled for remote access and analysis, so novel insights for developing better stratified and/or personalised medicine approaches can be derived from their integration. If the integration of diverse datasets enables development of more accurate risk indicators, prognostic factors, or better treatments and interventions, this obviates the …
Profane Egyptologists
It is widely believed that the practice of ancient Egyptian religion ceased with the end of pharaonic culture and the rise of Christianity. However, an organised reconstruction and revival of the authentic practice of Egyptian, or Kemetic religion has been growing, almost undocumented, for nearly three decades. Profane Egyptologists is the first in-depth study of the now-global phenomenon of Kemeticism. Presenting key players in their own words, …
Taking-Place
Emerging over the past ten years from a set of post-structuralist theoretical lineages, non-representational theories are having a major impact within Human Geography. Non-representational theorisation and research has opened up new sets of problematics around the body, practice and performativity and inspired new ways of doing and writing human geography that aim to engage with the taking-place of everyday life. Drawing together a range of innov…
After Affirmation, or, Being a Loser
What could it mean to hesitate before life? To be unwilling or unable to affirm existence? And who or what would suggest such a thing? What type of monster would embrace sadness over joy, despair over hope, failure over success? And yet this is what is proposed. This article starts from a suspicion, a suspicion that, contemporary claims to the contrary, life is not innocent, that any affirmation always contains a disavowal, and that we are, wheth…
Using a Qualitative Vignette to Explore a Complex Public Health Issue
This article discusses how qualitative vignettes were combined with interviews to explore a complex public health issue; that is, promoting unhealthy foods and beverages to children and adolescents. It outlines how the technique was applied in practice and the combination of vignette-based interviews with a broader approach involving Gadamerian hermeneutics. Twenty-one participants from the public health community and the marketing and food and b…

Unhealthy food, integrated marketing communication and power
Public health advocates have repeatedly highlighted parallels between food marketing and childhood obesity. Yet existing literature has not explored the connection between the promotion of unhealthy foods and beverages, certain characteristics of integrated marketing communication (IMC) and the power of multinational food and beverage companies. This is problematic because IMC represents the dominant marketing paradigm in use today. This article …
An accountability framework to promote healthy food environments
Objective To review the available literature on accountability frameworks to construct a framework that is relevant to voluntary partnerships between government and food industry stakeholders. Design Between November 2012 and May 2013, a desk review of ten databases was conducted to identify principles, conceptual frameworks, underlying theories, and strengths and limitations of existing accountability frameworks for institutional performance to …
A Q methodology study of stakeholders’ views about accountability for promoting healthy food environments in England through the Responsibility Deal Food Network
Flētum
Somewhat hesitantly, this paper asks ‘what place for you and me in assemblage?’ What, if anything, remains of the ‘you’ and the ‘me’ after ‘assemblage theory’? As, with this new material imaginary, subjects are once again subject to dispersal and decentring, fading into flickering networks and multiplied across orders and orderings, this paper seeks to recall the singularity of the other. To do so the paper reflects on the all too fragile differe…
In the Absence of Practice
Increasingly the focus of social analysis and explanation is falling upon doings, on actions and practices, insofar as they are understood to be the origin rather than the effect of signification and meaning. This paper offers a sympathetic critique of such 'ontologisation' of practice, asking what is presumed about the human and the social when practice is taken as the primary social 'thing'. The critique works by outlining, somewhat tentatively…
Evaluating artistic work
The artist is frequently uncertain, when he or she begins to create a work, how the completed work will look or sound. However, the corporate business model, which is premised on a rational and instrumental worldview, suggests that in a market environment, art should be evaluated objectively, based on clearly stated and measurable objectives – often prior to that work being commenced. This paper explores the difficulties that art has in fitting i…
Further evidence supporting the validity of both a multidimensional profile and an overall evaluation of teaching effectiveness
The purpose of this research is to provide additional empirical evidence supporting the use of both a multidimensional profile and an overall evaluation of teaching effectiveness as valid indicators of student perceptions of effective classroom instruction. A factor analytic teaching evaluation instrument was used that also included open‐ended comments on four questions. Numerical scores from 208 classes were matched with the average valence of t…
Corporeal Remains
This paper offers a sustained reflection on the nature of corporeal vulnerability as an inherent and noneliminable aspect of corporeal existence. One of the many remarkable things about the recent interest in embodiment, emotion, practice, and performance, in the body-in-action, in the social sciences is the general lack of thought that has been given to the fact of vulnerability. The paper suggests that thinking through the nature of vulnerabili…
“How Shall I Say it … ?” Relating the Nonrelational
As the ideas of the relational and relationality become part of the everyday conceptual make-up of human geography, in this paper I seek to recall the insistent and incessant importance of the nonrelational. In dialogue with nonrepresentational theory, as well as its critics, I suggest that any thought or theory of relationality must have as its acknowledged occasion the incessant proximity of the nonrelational. The occasion for this discussion i…
The Space between Us
Somewhat surprisingly the concept of dwelling remains largely unconsidered within contemporary geographical thought. Despite signs of a renewed interest in the term it remains all but bereft of a sustained critical appraisal and as a consequence firmly tied to the name and writing of Martin Heidegger. The aim of this paper is to begin to open the concept up beyond this attachment and to provide a rationale for its reassessment. Through a double r…

The Lalitavistara is one of the most influential hagiographies of the Buddha. It has been known in Sanskrit since the early days of modern studies of Buddhism, but was long available only in inadequate editions. That has now changed with the publication of the edition of K. Hokazono, now complete in three volumes. The present paper discusses something of the history of the study of the text, Hokazono's edition, and another recent book by G. Ducoe…

Making Sense
Recently social analysis has turned its attention to 'the body'. In this paper the author considers the implications of such a turn for social analysis itself. The main discussion of the paper concerns the indeterminate or 'elusory' nature of embodiment and its productive relation to 'sense making' in everyday life and contemplative thought. The author examines how these aspects of embodiment have been marginalised within social analysis and the …

The development of a medieval street frontage
In advance of redevelopment, an excavation was carried out in 1992 by the Scottish Urban Archaeological Trust Ltd (SUAT) at 80-86 High Street, Perth.Three burgageplots were identified on this prime street frontage site, with medieval occupation spanning some three centuries from the mid-to late 12th century through to the late 14th or early 15th century.Structural remains were not well represented, but there was significant evidence for small-sca…

What Can We Learn for Today from 300-Year-Old Writings about Stock Markets
In this article I catalog how historical analysis using a variety of writings on stock markets from around the early eighteenth century can help inform our understanding of financial market institutions and behavior. In so doing, I hope to suggest how the history of economic thinking can have direct value for today’s financial economist. Old writings, of course, are a trove of interesting vignettes. For example, the term bear to describe a stock-…

Weber's Categories of Authority and Voluntary Associations
The ideology of voluntary social groups in America tends to be anti-authoritarian. The constituency of these groups is distrustful of centralization and further rationalization of their organizations. However, to achieve the imperative goals of these voluntary associations bureaucracy is necessary, social tension increases, and the problems of authority and power become increasingly acute. Modes for the legitimation of authority are found to be s…

Toward a Dramaturgical Interpretation of Religion
A distinction is drawn between theatricality and dramaturgy as modes for interpreting social and religious life. By means of theatricality scholars tend to analyze life as “theater” as “playacting” or “role-playing.” Theater is viewed as a metaphor for what “actually” occurs in life. By contrast, dramaturgists interpret life as essentially dramatic in its interpersonal and collective aspects, whether the drama is significant or trivial, good or p…

Church and the Laity Among Protestants
Increasing attention is being paid on the fringes of the major Protestant denominations to the role of laymen in the work of the churches. A theology of the laity is in process of development and represents an effort to distinguish between ecclesiastical and secular vocations of the church's ministry. Despite emphasis, however, on the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers there is a subtle clericalism in the denominations which undermines t…

“In this situation social workers are faced with a permanent dilemma. In their field activities, the workers must not assume a judgmental and moral stance in their therapeutic relation to the client public, but at the same time they must encourage a spirit of moral judgment within a society whose structures and values sustain and excuse exploitation and injustice. It is at this point in the development of a new social theory of values, and in the…
