Jean-Luc Nancy, Derrida, Supplements
In his prologue to Derrida, Supplements, Jean-Luc Nancy writes that the texts collected here 'are not studies or commentaries or interpretations of Derrida's thought.Instead, I think of them as responses to his presence' (1).In the sixteen essays that follow, many of which appear here in English translation for the first time, Nancy welcomes the reader to almost thirty years of such responses to, reflections on, and engagements with his longtime …
Ampersand Aesthetics
This essay documents and reflects on a complex of social practice art actions addressing hunger that the authors, who work under the name Spatula&Barcode, undertook in the Philippines in 2022 in collaboration with Jazmin Llana. The article gives background on Spatula&Barcode’s prior work with food, art, and performance and their prior engagement with hunger as a theme, then describes several exploratory actions and two larger-scale community-base…
Language and Visions of the Future
This article argues that by linking Gramsci’s pre-carceral critiques of left-utopianism to his later work on language found in The Prison Notebooks , a coherent and consistent articulation of the demands of future-oriented praxis can be worked out. On this account, Gramsci argues that actions must be aimed at inheritable, universal, and transformable principles rather than the instantiation of particular factual details that appear necessary or d…
Inheritance Indifferent to Legitimacy
This essay seeks to establish the sense in which Derrida's stated indifference to questions of legitimate descent can function as an ethical or political principle, as he argues in "Marx and Sons." We track Derrida's response to accusations of a lack of fealty in texts such as "Marx and Sons," "Biodegradables: Seven Diary Fragments," and "Limited Inc a b c ... " alongside his problematization of a certain sense of inheritance or heritage. We argu…

Testing for seasonality in Canadian child welfare investigations
The Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS) derives annual estimates of child maltreatment (CM) based on cases of CM reported to child welfare agencies in the fourth quarter (October, November, December) of the year the CIS is conducted. The present study investigates seasonal patterns of CM investigations and examines potential biases in CIS estimates that result from annual estimates based on quarter 4 (Q4) data. Seas…
Biology, Religion, and Philosophy
The intersection of biology and religion has spawned exciting new areas of academic research that raise issues central to understanding our own humanity and the living world. In this comprehensive and accessible survey, Michael L. Peterson and Dennis R. Venema explain the engagement between biology and religion on issues related to origins, evolution, design, suffering and evil, progress and purpose, love, humanity, morality, ecology, and the nat…
Lack of cool, not warm, extremes distinguishes late 20th Century climate in 979-year Tasmanian summer temperature reconstruction
Very few annually resolved millennial-length temperature reconstructions exist for the Southern Hemisphere. Here we present four 979-year reconstructions for southeastern Australia for the austral summer months of December–February. Two of the reconstructions are based on the Australian Water Availability Project dataset and two on the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature dataset. For each climate data set, one reconstruction is based solely on Lag…
The Animal Apparatus
The methods by which animal performance is made legible to audiences depend upon a historically contingent set of material practices and social relationships among humans and animals: an “animal apparatus” that is distinctly “middle-brow” and implicated in constructions of bourgeois subjectivity. However, the fleshly presence of the animal also routinely causes it to exceed this order of signification, offering a site for an ethics of resistance …
Body Dissatisfaction and Patterns of Media Use Among Preadolescent Children
This study examined school‐age children's satisfaction/dissatisfaction with their body sizes and their media consumption and image perception patterns. A sample of preadolescent children at the ages between 8 and 11 (N = 50) was recruited for in‐depth individual interviews from a university‐sponsored child care facility in a mid‐Atlantic state. Results suggested that boys and girls were significantly different in their ideal body preferences. Sim…
Validity of the Body Mass Index Silhouette Matching Test
The BMI-SMT is a valid measure of body image perceptions and estimates of weight and BMI
Body-Image Perceptions
The BMI-SMT technique provided reliable information to help community and individual-based programs track and measure body-image perception data among individuals and populations
Fostering Students' Statistical and Scientific Thinking
Current research and theory indicate that college students' scientific and statistical reasoning skills are deficient, but can be improved through instruction. Accordingly, an innovative statistics course was developed for the undergraduate education curriculum at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. The course promoted the idea “that the purpose of statistics is to organize a useful argument from quantitative evidence based on a form of principl…
Issues in Rural Health Programming
The purpose of this conceptual paper is to review select issues associated with rural health programs that have a number of satellite sites (periphery) coordinated through a primary supervisory body (center). The paper provides suggestions for fostering more effective programming to rural populations and generating further dialogue about center‐periphery issues from diverse perspectives. Based on literature and interviews with four rural health p…
Skills to Enhance Problem-based Learning
Problem-based Learning (PBL) has become a popular method of instruction among educators in the health professions. Central to the effectiveness of PBL is the ability of students to work together to solve problems. When these abilities are lacking, PBL outcomes can be compromised. Since these skills have not been emphasized in public school or higher education, students are often forced to muddle through group processes in the effort to learn. The…
Climatic change over the last millennium in Tasmania reconstructed from tree-rings
Tree-ring widths from millennium-old Huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) trees have been used to reconstruct warm season (November-April) temperatures back to AD 900 for Tasmania. The reconstruction indicates that the most recent 100 years of climate have been highly unusual, with the coldest and warmest 25-year periods occurring from 1890 to 1914 and 1965 to 1989, respectively. Although the most recent 25-year period is warmer than any comparab…
