Understanding maintenance, repair, and replacement of prosthetic limbs using routinely-collected data
Background: Prosthetic limbs deliver major quality of life and socioeconomic benefits for people with amputation, particularly in low-resource settings. The value of administrative data analysis is established for enabling sustainable health care improvement, but there has been limited research into the maintenance, repair, and replacement of prosthetic limbs. Survivorship data are sparse and highly variable, and rarely addresses differences betw…
Learning about the changing needs for prosthetics service provision from routinely collected digital centre management data
Background: Prosthetic service development and delivery rely on data describing population needs. These needs are context-specific, but most existing data come from high-income countries or small geographic areas, which are often not comparable. This study analysed routinely collected digital patient record data at multiple time points to provide insights into characteristics of people accessing Cambodian prosthetic services. Methods: We investig…
"Journeys and metaphors; Some preliminary observations about the natural world of seashore and forested mountains in epic "kakawin
In earlier publications I have argued that ancient Javanese poets imagined the world to be one marked by distinctions between a social world consisting of palace (kaḍatwan) and countryside (thāni-ḍusun) and a wilderness of seashores and forested mountains (pasir-wukir). The social world was characterized by the presence of an effective royal authority; the wilderness by its absence. A distinction was also drawn between this world inhabited by hum…

The Rhetoric of Paintings
The present essay is about the interpretation of paintings and how an interest which Balinese painters display in gender relationships in the context of illustrations of ritual in their narrative works on the one hand, contrasts with strong expressions of Dutch disapproval of the despotic nature of the rule of Balinese kings and consequentially the unjust treatment of women in Balinese society on the other. With this in mind, the present paper fi…
The Superpowers and the Tribes
This chapter begins by rejecting the traditional binary opposition between American “cultural” anthropology and British “structural” or social anthropology. In many societies authority is divided among religious and secular competitors for preeminence, and though religious are often equally ready to resort to force in order to buttress their institutional power, they are also able to appeal to further, immaterial values which confer a very specia…
The rhetoric of paintings; the Balinese "Malat" and the prospect of a history of Balinese ideas, imaginings and emotions
Balinese paintings from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries shed light on how painters and their works speak to their viewers both about how Balinese in this period knew, imagined, thought, and felt about the world in which they lived, and about the visual representation and communication of these ideas, imaginings, and feelings through the medium of narrative paintings. In this paper I discuss five Balinese paintings of the Malat. The f…
The Rhetoric of Paintings
Western historical scholarship has taught us much about Southeast Asia in the period between 1800 and 1940. This was a time when the insistent, intensifying and transforming influence of Dutch colonial society and its culture became widespread in Bali and more broadly in the archipelago. Much too has been written about the analytical framework of European histories of these times. In this essay I discuss Balinese paintings from this same period w…
Michel Picard, Kebalian
The conquest of Bali and its incorporation in the colonial empire of the Dutch East Indies at the beginning of the twentieth century, and its inclusion in the modern independent nation of Indonesian in 1945 in the aftermath of the Second World War have given rise to a self-consciousness amongst Balinese about their identity as Balinese (kebalian). The author argues that concerns about what it is to be Balinese have called upon Balinese not just t…
Jennifer Goodlander, Women in the shadows
The Balinese wayang kulit, the author informs her readers, is both social event and sacred ritual. Jennifer Goodlander’s book is an account of her experience, as a woman and foreigner, learning to perform the Balinese shadow theatre. In it she describes how, under the experienced eye of her teacher, the dalang I Wayan Tunjung, she acquired the multiple skills which a dalang must possess, as playwright, storyteller, actor, comedian, director, sing…
Frantz Fanon et le lumpenprolétariat
The article focuses on the work which had the widest circulation in the context of the liberation struggles of the 1960s and 70s : The Wretched of the Earth. Peter Worsley stresses the originality of a work which emphasised the need for a theoretical and practical rehabilitation of the lumpenproletariat, that underclass denigrated by orthodox Marxism. Thus while Fanon’s intellectual genealogy reveals his primary interest for black demands, for Wo…
Mpu Monaguṇa's Sumanasāntaka
Mpu Monaguṇa's early thirteenth century epic poem Sumanasāntaka is a vernacular rendering of Kālidāsa's story of Prince Aja and Princess Indumatī told in the Raghuvaṃśa. In it the poet exploits his source narrative to describe and comment on the Javanese world of his times. In Mpu Monaguṇa's Sumanasāntaka the authors offer an edited text and translation of Mpu Monaguṇa's epic kakawin and extensive commentary on the editing of the manuscripts and …
Marx and Marxism
Karl Marx probably had more influence on the political course of the last century than any other social thinker. There are many different kinds of Marxism, and the Twentieth Century saw two huge Marxist states in total opposition to one another. In the West, Marxism has never presented a revolutionary threat to the established order, though it has taken root as the major theoretical critique of capitalist society in intellectual circles, and new …

Late-Quaternary cryostratigraphy of a coastal cliff at Martha Point, southwest Banks Island, western Canadian Arctic
A 5 m thick unlithified sequence consisting of sands, silts and minor peats crop out in a coastal cliff within continuous permafrost. A well-exposed 70 m long section displayed a range of epigenetic ice wedges. These could be classified into three generations, each at a different stratigraphic level. The oldest was truncated by a major thaw unconformity which was overlain by a bed of highly involuted silts with peat clasts, interpreted as evidenc…
A revised chronology for aeolian activity in subarctic Fennoscandia during the Holocene
Detailed sedimentological studies and parallel sampling for 14 C and infra-red stimulated luminescence age assays were undertaken at six sites lying beyond and below the tree-line with the objective of establishing the historical development of aeolian landforms in Lapland. The main issues were: (a) the timing of dune activity and processes of stabilization; (b) the specific processes responsible for the past and contemporary activity. New data i…

This is a study of kinship and conflict among a group of Aborigines who only recently abandoned their nomadic existence to live on a government settlement. Given the current rate of change in Australia, it will be among the last first-hand accounts of traditional Aboriginal social life. The book has two main aims. The first is to correct the impression that Aborigines are automata mechanically following tribal law in everything they do, or, as it…

Revolution of the Third World
the alarming thing about the state of the antinuclear campaign is that so much of the discussion turns upon questions of tactics—how to break the silence-barrier or to raise consciousness of the issues. It is thus a discussion about means rather than ends. The ends remain undiscussed

Frantz Fanon
Although an important part of his time was spent within the Algerian Revolution, Frantz Fanon ended his life dedicated to a larger African Revolution. As a psychiatrist and a Marxist, Fanon was able to calculate the traumatic and material cost of Africa's recent occupation. He died at thirty-seven of leukemia while attempting to prescribe a cure for the "benefits" the West had brought there.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review web…

Groote Eylandt Totemism and Le Totémisme aujourd’hui
The two quotations at the head of this article only refer obliquely — and most affectionately — to the writing of that most respected and creative of colleagues, Claude Lévi-Strauss; they bear more centrally upon the thinking of the Australian aborigines. I have no desire, that is, to be cast in the role of a simple-minded English empiricist breaking a lance for God, Harry and the Cult of the Fact against the dragon of Gallic systematics. Even th…
