Staying With the Trouble, a Rhizomatic Approach to Posthuman Methods
Persistent pain is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Research into pain experiences often adopts a humanistic perspective, predominantly relying on interview data and rarely engaging with real-world contexts. The Posthuman Walking Project brought together a transdisciplinary network of individuals with lived experiences of pain alongside academics and clinicians from five countries to collectively explore how posthuman p…

Physiotherapy Otherwise
Most people are so familiar with the idea of professions that it would be hard to imagine life without them. And yet, the professions we know today are a relatively recent invention. Although physiotherapy may not have achieved the extraordinary levels of privilege and prestige enjoyed by medicine, it still has three quarters of a million respected and valued practitioners worldwide, and is, in many ways, the model of a modern health profession. …
The singular patient in patient-centred care
A patient-centred approach has gained increasing interest in medicine and other health sciences. Whereas there are discussions about the meaning of a patient-centred approach and what the concept entails, little is known about how the patient as a person is understood in patient-centred care. This article investigates understandings of the patient as a self in patient-centred care through physiotherapy of patients with chronic muscle pain. The ma…
Keep fit
Exercise has a long history as a therapeutic modality and has existed, in some form, in all cultures throughout recorded history. In recent years, therapeutic exercise has taken on new significance as a relatively low cost medical intervention designed to improve people’s health and well-being and reduce the downstream effects of comorbidity. Drawing our inspiration from Foucault and Deleuze, we argue that seeing therapeutic exercise as primarily…
Parrhēsia, Artisans and the Possibilities for Deliberate Practice
Re/creating entrepreneurs of the self
Vocational rehabilitation for people experiencing work disability is a social practice often situated within health services, but the social and political drivers and effects of this practice are rarely critically analysed in health research or policy. In this study we used a Foucauldian theoretical perspective to analyse the ways in which current vocational rehabilitation practices in New Zealand re/produce notions of worker and employee 'value'…

Foucault, the subject and the research interview
FADYL JK and NICHOLLS DA. Nursing Inquiry 2013; 20 : 23–29 Foucault, the subject and the research interview: a critique of methods Research interviews are a widely used method in qualitative health research and have been adapted to suit a range of methodologies. Just as it is valuable that new approaches are explored, it is also important to continue to examine their appropriate use. In this article, we question the suitability of research interv…
Sudanese Military Slavery from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century
‘Recognition of a Black Empire founded upon insurrection and upon the massacre of the white population’, the French prime minister told the British ambassador in 1825, ‘would have a most pernicious moral effect’1 Haiti posed, for the colonial and slave-owning powers, a potential threat. It was seen as a symbol of emancipation and was a sign of hope for the black slaves of the Caribbean and of the southern states of the USA. Ye t despite Villèle's…
‘Each … is at the Center’
Traditional historiographical practices deal almost exclusively with prospective chains of influence, prioritizing the canonic over the non-canonic, and the influence flowing from an individual over the influences flowing toward her or him. Similarly, historical preeminence is valued more than historical accuracy. Although John Cage’s view of history originally chimed with these traditional practices, from the 1940s onward he increasingly came to…

Cage and the Ultramodernists
Making breathing your business
Over the last 30 years there has been a gradual but nonetheless significant shift in the political economy of healthcare in developed countries. The health reforms that have accompanied this shift have had a significant impact upon medicine, nursing and a number of other orthodox health professions, but to date, little work has been done to explore the changing nature of physiotherapy practice. This study draws on Foucault's notion of governmenta…
Narrative Theory as an Analytical Tool in the Study of Popular Music Texts
Narrative theory and popular music are not the most obvious of bedfellows: the former lends itself primarily to the elaboration (or analysis) of extended narrative structures, while the latter tends to manifest itself in three- to four-minute songs describing essentially static cameos, vignettes, or states of mind. That popular music texts may nevertheless contain elements of narration is hardly in doubt, however, as is shown by such songs as The…

Virtual Opera, or Opera between the Ears
A number of authors, including John Covach and especially Edward Macan, have investigated the links between art music and progressive rock. This article builds on and extends such work by positing, defining, discussing and dissecting a hybrid genre I term virtual opera. Exemplified by such albums as The Who's Tommy (1969) and Quadrophenia (1973), Genesis's The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974) and Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage (1979), each of which …

I relate this incident not because I wish to engage in a lengthy analysis of copyright law or of the ownership of ambient sound; nor, indeed, do I intend to examine Batt's claim that 'my silence is original silence,' interesting though that might be.Rather, the story is a typical illustration of the way in which the work of radical artists-and of John Cage in particular-tends to be interpreted by both the media and the general public.The philosop…

Adolf Hitler
This A–Z biographical sourcebook provides information about the life and times of Adolf Hitler, along with insight into the political movement and world conflict he created. The Hitler regime warns us of the destruction that ensues when a perverted ideology and a cult of leadership are combined with a polity where power is divorced from morality. This illustrated A–Z biographical companion provides easily accessible information about the key even…

Richard Cobden and the International Peace Congress Movement, 1848–1853
Between 1848 and 1853 a series of major peace congresses was held—in Brussels (1848), Paris (1849), Frankfurt (1850), London (1851), Manchester (1853), and Edinburgh (1853). This midcentury period was one of great confidence and optimism in the likely success of the cause. Indeed, reading the reports of the congresses today, one is struck by the at times naive overoptimism of many delegates. This may in part have been the product of the millenari…

The English Middle Class and the Ideological Significance of Radicalism, 1760–1886
The noun “radical” as applied to reformers who held advanced views came into general use in the early nineteenth century. It was at first used in a derogatory sense, denoting, as Walter Scott wrote in 1819, “a set of blackguards.” However, it was taken up by the subjects of the intended abuse and quickly acquired a certain respectability—so much so that by 1830 one middle-class radical was recording that “the term Radical once employed as a name …

Addressing God as Ruler
Much of the language used about God in the religions of the world is, and has been from early times, drawn from political rhetoric, while politics is frequently discussed in theological terms. At times, as in some theories of divine kingship, an identity has been asserted between gods and kings.l In Christian tradition, however, the relationship alleged between God and the king has been analogical, or metaphorical.2 If this is so, it is not surpr…
From Dessalines to Duvalier
Positive Liberty, 1880-1914
It would not, I think, be entirely misleading to suggest that doctrines of laissez faire and attacks upon reasoned state intervention in political and social life have tended to emanate from two extremes in social philosophy-ultra individualism and an extreme organicism. In the first case, and we may take Locke as an example, society is made up of a heap of individuals who came together to form the state for the limited purpose of the protection …

One of the striking facts about the social and political history of Haiti from independence in 1804 to the present is the deep gulf separating the largely mulatto elite groups from the predominantly black masses. The war of the South in 1799 between Toussaint and Rigaud, and the conflicts between Christophe and Pétion, while not primarily caused by color factors, were reinforced by suspicions and hostilities between black and mulatto, with each g…

Unanswerable Questions/Questionable Answers
Although Charles Ives's position as one of the most important figures in twentieth-century music now appears to be beyond doubt, a number of persistent and fundamental questions continue to trouble Ives scholarship. These concern both his biography and his music; and since these two areas are inextricably linked, the quest for satisfactory answers is doubly important. Several recent publications have attempted, in various ways, to come to terms w…

Gladstone on Liberty and Democracy
It is well known that Gladstone entered Parliament in 1832 as a conservative and a Tory, and ended his Parliamentary career as leader of the Liberal Party. As late as 1839 Macaulay could call him “the rising hope of ... stern and unbending Tories.” What was the reason for his change of position? Did he merely drift with Peel, or was there some positive principle which led him to liberalism? There is much in his notebooks to suggest the latter. It…

The Totalitarianism of Thomas Arnold
Dr. Thomas Arnold, headmaster of Rugby school, was perhaps one of the most consistent totalitarians of the nineteenth century — he constitutes almost a pure type of totalitarianism and for this reason alone it is worth taking a look at his political ideas. He was also a good man — in certain respects a great man — and a study of Arnold's ideas will remind us that totalitarian theories are not always set forth by wicked men, but are often the conc…
Few Are Chosen
Jogging along the road to a dinner party one evening, Balfour's sister said she thought that the coachman had taken a wrong turn. “Well, that is his business,” remarked the politician laconically, “not ours.” The lady was quite in order to speculate about the matter, but interference was forbidden. Likewise, academic philosophers and sociologists have a perfect right to speculate about politics, but they must not, as academics, interfere with the…

The Wisdom of Salomon
History is written by the winners," wrote Orwell (1970: 110); he went on to suggest that a totalitarian government "claims to control the past as well as the future." Yet such a concern with controlling the past is not a distinguishing feature of totalitarianism; many examples of an ideological or legendary version of the past receiving government sanction can be found in nontotalitarian countries. While few governments or political parties can a…

Inertia and Reform in the Pre-Tridentine French Church
The French Church on the eve of the Reformation presents a varied and complex spectacle. Since the end of the Hundred Years War the number of clergy had grown significantly, much of the material damage caused by the war had been made good, and an army of administrators had placed the Church on what seemed to be a healthy financial base. In the diocese of Rouen under Guillaume d'Estouteville (1453–83) the archbishop's annual revenues rose from abo…

The Nature of Popular Heresy in France, 1520–1542
Ever since Lucien Febvre, in his classic essay on the origins of the French Reformation, characterized the sixteenth century as ‘ a long period of magnificent religious anarchy’, the nature of this ‘anarchy’ has remained somewhat puzzling. The question posed by Febvre - if Calvinist churches were only organized in the late 1550s, who were the protestants before this date?-retains all its interest while inevitably raising other problems. Can one m…
