Bystanders and the murder of George Floyd
Using a detailed transcription, obtained from body-camera, CCTV, and smartphone footage of the murder of George Floyd, we examine the behavior of bystanders as events unfolded. Analysis reveals 205 direct verbal bystander interventions comprised of five forms (declaratives, assessments, interrogatives, imperatives, insults). We also describe the key physical intervention strategies deployed by the bystanders. We show that bystanders prioritize in…
Wagner in Context
Few composers embodied wider cultural interests than Wagner or had greater cultural consequences. This is the first collection to examine directly the rich array of intellectual, social and cultural contexts within which Wagner worked. Alongside fresh accounts of historical topics, from spa culture to racial theory, sentient bodies to stage technology, America to Spain, it casts an eye forward to contexts of Wagner's ongoing reception, from video…
Beethoven 's Blue Remembered Hills
Various commentators have noted Beethoven's use of a monotone in the second song of his cycle An die ferne Geliebte, where the repetition of a single note serves to conjure up the power of memory. This monotone served as a model for several subsequent composers of song cycles, often in a similar context when their singer/narrator recalls things that are past - from Peter Cornelius to Arnold Bax. In the case of Arthur Somervell's A Shropshire Lad,…

How adults with a profound intellectual disability engage others in interaction
Using video records of everyday life in a residential home, we report on what interactional practices are used by people with severe and profound intellectual disabilities to initiate encounters. There were very few initiations, and all presented difficulties to the interlocutor (support staff; the recording researcher); one (which we call 'blank recipiency') gave the interlocutor virtually no information at all on which to base a response. Only …
Childhood awaits every person
This article briefly describes the activity we call Magic Spots (others use the name Sit-spots), silent solitude in the natural world with children; explores the notion of metaxic space, the space between one and another, and with the help of children’s voices introduces the important of the context in which of facilitating times of solitude in the natural world (which I call ‘stretching this in-between space enough for children to experience spi…
Spying on the Nuclear Bear
This important work by Michael S. Goodman, a leading intelligence historian, studies Anglo-American intelligence assessments of the Soviet Union in the Cold War. Goodman's study uses previously classified records to study, in a new way, how the West understood (and misunderstood) the Soviet threat in the decades after 1945. Goodman's study reveals that, to build up a picture of the Soviet Union, western intelligence agencies relied on both techni…
Promoting choice and control in residential services for people with learning disabilities
This paper discusses the gap between policy goals and practice in residential services for people with learning disabilities. Drawing on a nine month ethnographic study of three residential services, it outlines a range of obstacles to the promotion of choice and control that were routinely observed in the culture and working practices of the services. Issues discussed include conflicting service values and agendas, inspection regimes, an attenti…
Spying on Science
The subject of Paul Maddrell's book has a striking resonance for the world today. Maddrell's book is concerned with the proliferation of ‘weapons of mass destruction’—the phrase seems to have been first used during in the Second World War—by enemy states and ‘rogue regimes’; (mis)assessments by western intelligence services of such weapons; and covert attempts by western governments to undermine the development of such weapons programmes. The int…
The dilemma for staff in 'playing a game' with a person with profound intellectual disabilities
Games between staff and people with intellectual disabilities serve to promote social engagement and inclusion. However, when the person has limited and idiosyncratic communicative abilities, it may be hard to gauge what his/her own view of the matter is. We examine video-taped records of two episodes in which a staff member of a group home prompted a resident with profound intellectual disabilities to play a verbal and a non-verbal 'game'. We ex…
Saying no to the staff
People with severe communication difficulties may attempt to exercise control over their lives by verbally or non-verbally refusing an activity proposed by supporters. We detail examples in which such refusals are treated by care home staff as a temporary reluctance, warranting further attempts to persuade the individual to co-operate. We identify the following conversational (and bodily) practices by which staff achieve their institutional ends:…
Conversational Shaping
In initiating and maintaining talk with people with intellectual impairments, members of care staff use a range of recurrent conversational devices. The authors list six of the more common of these devices, explain how they work interactionally, and speculate on how they serve institutional interests. As in other dealings between staff members and the people with intellectual impairments they support, there is a pervasive dilemma between, on one …
How proposing an activity to a person with an intellectual disability can imply a limited identity
In residential homes for people with learning or intellectual disabilities (or mental retardation, in North American usage), a routine way for staff members to structure residents' time is to propose outside activities (e.g. shopping trips to town, attendance at a concert and so on). We identify one common way of proposing such activities that reveals a subtle but significant aspect of the staff's understanding of the residents' identities. Staff…

Traeger Park School
This paper will explore some of the pedagogical, social and political issues surrounding a 1991 decision to dose an urban school servicing Aboriginal students in the Northern Territory. In order to contextualise the discussion, a brief description of recent State and Federal government policy documents will be provided, along with a description of the school. This will be followed by an analysis of the decision and subsequent events. Some compari…
Jewellery Production
Today's hand made gold jewellery includes the most costly and most beautiful items available. Master craftsmen are found in many countries and their jewellery follows a centuries old tradition. In more recent times, to supply increasing demand, gold jewellery has also been machine made, for example gold chains, particularly in Italy. Here these two basic aspects of jewellery production are reviewed: gold craftsmanship, casting, alloys for jewelle…

An Aboriginal Child Learning to Write
In 1985 there was a Combined Associations Conference held in Darwin. As part of that conference Ann Harrison (a TESL lecturer at Darwin Institute of Technology) and I prepared a workshop to explore some issues concerned with Aboriginal children learning to write in English when it is not their mother tongue. In that workshop we looked at samples of Northern Territory Aboriginal children's writing in English to consider
Predictors of Loneliness in Older Women and Men
Loneliness is an emotion which evolves from cognitive processes when there is a discrepancy between desired and available relationships (Peplau, Micelli & Morasch, 1982). Older women and men are especially vulnerable to loneliness due to the significant changes in relationships which occur in old age. The literature which addresses loneliness in older adults is incomplete, especially in regard to differences between women and men. This pilot stud…
