Death’s architrave
During the Second World War, the British painter Prunella Clough composed a set of poems now preserved in her archive at Tate Britain, of which only two were published. This article prefaces the sixteen poems, situating them in relation to Clough’s avowed models in poetry of the period, and comparing them to poems by two women writing on the Second World War home front, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Lynette Roberts. Clough’s developing practice as a…

The forms of abstraction
This article explores ideas of abstraction developed in the visual art and poetry produced in the artistic centre of St Ives in Cornwall during the mid-twentieth century. The first part briefly explores the St Ives milieu, the second offers a detailed reading of W.S. Graham’s poem WYNTER AND THE GRAMMARSOW in relation to the painting and other artwork of Graham’s friend Bryan Wynter, while the third considers how the practices of both poet and pa…
Outsider Theory
Reviewed by: Outsider Theory: Intellectual Histories of Unorthodox Ideas by Jonathan P. Eburne John Wilkinson Eburne, Jonathan P. Outsider Theory: Intellectual Histories of Unorthodox Ideas. University of Minnesota Press, 2018. 424pp. What Outside? The title of Outsider Theory is artfully contrived. By the end of the book, it figures as a near tautology, for Jonathan Eburne here contributes to the study of knowledge production a disclosure of hig…

Peace, Unity, and Purity and the Presbyterian Church’s Fifty-Year Journey on Human Sexuality
Recent ordination controversies have served as barometers for how denominations have addressed matters of human sexuality, and LGBTQ sexuality in particular. Using the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s fifty-year narrative as a case study, this article traces developments in thought and shifts in perspective, from language that calls “homosexual acts” sin to actions that move from apology to celebration. The essay follows decades of intense debate a…
Consumption in Brazil – the field of new consumer studies and the phenomenon of the “new middle classes”
This chapter reviews the development of consumer studies as a field of research in Brazil. Academic debates and intense media coverage of the emergence of a &s;new middle class&s; in the middle of the first decade of the 2000s drew attention to Brazil as a consumer society. The chapter explores the emergence of consumer studies as a thematic area under the influence of a new generation of international authors who analyze consumption as a fundame…
Stone thresholds
This essay sets out to characterise three kinds of aesthetic experience: the ‘frozen and marmoreal’, the ‘voracious and totalising’, and what is called here the ’threshold experience‘, the mode of poetic or aesthetic apprehension that does not settle into any human commonality or graven form, but that vibrates and shifts, ‘engender[ing] an hermeneutic enlivening’. The space of the threshold is first approached by a reading of Veronese’s paintings…
Governança e Institucionalização das Indicações Geográficas no Brasil

Contested Markets
This article provides an overview of the sub-area of new economic sociology, (NES), known as contested markets . The involvement of both interests and values in the confection of markets has always been a leitmotif of economic sociology and many authors have dealt with the different ways in which markets have been challenged. The very organization of markets involves exclusions which at any time may provide the basis for contestations. Neverthele…

Brazil and China
This article explores the ways in which the Brazil–China axis is reshaping patterns of trade and investment in soy and related commodities. On the Brazilian side, we are particularly interested in the characteristics and dynamics of the models of investment and farming on the soy frontier. China′s extensive interests in Brazilian soy provide a privileged perspective to analyse the different ways in which it is trying to reshape the dynamics of gl…
Public Health Observatories in England
Public Health Observatories (PHOs) were created in England in 2000 as an important adjunct to the public health system in the country. The observatories were networked together, which allowed pooling of expertise and rapid dissemination of methods and results. The network grew to include the whole of the UK and Ireland and was a very successful force for change until PHOs were subsumed into the new Government Agency Public Health Organization, Pu…
Concentration and foreign ownership of land in Brazil in the context of global land grabbing
This article analyses land concentration in Brazil and the changing patterns of land acquisitions predominantly through foreign investments. First we compare census data from 1996 and 2006 and identify an acceleration of land concentration. We then show the limitations of the official registry data for capturing the phenomenon of "foreignisation", and complement this with an analysis of data from the Central Bank, which provide for some general c…

From Fair Trade to Responsible Soy
The explosive growth of food commodity markets in the wake of massive, sustained demand from the 'emerging economies' might seem to mark a rupture with the niche quality markets which many authors have identified as the dominant tendencies in agrofood since the 1980s and a return to the mass markets of yesteryear. In this paper it is argued, however, that the distinguishing characteristics of special quality markets, and particularly the role of …

Posttraumatic idioms of distress among Darfur refugees
Although psychosocial programming is seen as essential to the humanitarian response to the Darfur conflict, aid groups lack culturally-appropriate assessment instruments for monitoring and evaluation. The current study used an emic-etic integrated approach to: (i) create a culturally-appropriate measure of distress (Study 1), and (ii) test the measure in structured interviews of 848 Darfuris living in two refugee camps in Chad (Study 2). Traditio…

Rates and impact of trauma and current stressors among Darfuri refugees in Eastern Chad
Darfur refugees face hardships associated with chronic displacement, including lack of basic needs and safety concerns. Psychiatric research on refugees has focused on trauma, but daily stressors may contribute more to variance in distress. This article reports rates of past trauma and current stressors among Darfur refugees and gauges the contribution of each to psychological distress and functional impairment. A representative sample of 848 Dar…

Biofuels in Brazil
This article presents an analysis of the two major components of Brazil's biofuels initiatives - ethanol from sugarcane and biodiesel from a variety of raw material sources. With the crisis unleashed at the end of 2008, huge question marks hang over the timetable and the scope of future investments in the sector. Even prior to the current crisis the biofuels debate was suffering a sharp volte-face with earlier euphoria being replaced by sustained…

A new paradigm for economic analysis
This article reviews recent convergences in the French social literature, particularly those emerging between the sociology and economics of innovation, regulation theory and convention theory, focusing primarily on the contribution of this latter. In the first section, examples of collaboration across these different currents are discussed and the migration of key concepts identified. This is followed by a more detailed comparsion of the respect…

The Globalization of Agribusiness and Developing World Food Systems
The issue of the global concentration of agribusiness is crucial to the future of the food systems of developing (and poor, non-developing) countries. These countries have been a target of corporate investments from the outset of the industrial food system. This process has been uneven — at different times corporate investment has focused on one or another part of the food system. Today, this uneven and often uncoordinated foray of metropolitan c…

Da lavoura às biotecnologias
Fish
This article discusses the fish sector in the light of the global value chain (GVC) approach and particularly its demand- versus supply-driven typology. It is argued that especially in the case of long-established food chains, such as fish, where multiple actors both public and private have cumulatively defined and redefined policies and strategies, clear patterns of governance are less easy to establish than in the ideal-typical case of the fres…
The Final Foods Industry and the Changing Face of the Global Agro-Food System
This article focusses on the challenges which current processes of global restructuring represent for the leading food industry firms, exploring, in addition, the hypothesis that both the new bio(techno)logy paradigm and novel patterns of food demand (nutriceuticals, organics) accentuate the vulnerability of firms organised around this link in the global agrofood chain. Two dimensions of the new demand oriented food system which assumed dominance…

The Concept of Information and the Unity of Science
An attempt is made in this paper to analyze the purely formal nature of information-theoretic concepts. The suggestion follows that such concepts, used to supplement the logical and mathematical structure of the language of science, represent an addition to this language of such a sort as to allow the use of a unitary language for the description of phenomena. (The alternative to this approach must be certain multi-linguistic and mutually untrans…

The Streets of Jerusalem
How old is the present street layout ofJerusalem ? Since we can recognize part of it in the Madaba Map (see Fig. I) some of the streets have their origin before A.D. 600 when the map was made. But they may well be considerably older, since there are cities in the Middle 'East like Laodicea or Damascus where parts of the street system have remained in continuous use for over two millennia.! Most of this article consists of an examination of the st…

What Butler Saw
Much of our information about early Syrian churches depends on what Butler saw. Howard Crosby Butler taught architecture at Princeton University for over 20 years and led three expeditions to regions now in Syria and northern Jordan. He spent altogether over a year in the field, working rapidly, and amassing a vast quantity of observations and measurements. How far does his work retain a value today, and what evidence does it contain for the way …

As biotecnologias, a divisão internacional do trabalho e o caso brasileiro
Este artigo enfatiza o impacto contraditório das biotecnologias no sistema econômico, tanto entre os países industrializados quanto os do Terceiro Mundo e dentro de cada um desses blocos. As aplicações heterogêneas da biotecnologia e as relações específicas que estabelecem entre recursos industriais e naturais levam a uma multiplicidade de políticas setoriais e nacionais. As biotecnologias oferecem ao Brasil a possibilidade de uso mais racional e…
