“My story is good… It’s not like that for all”
Evidence indicates high levels of unmet contraceptive need among justice-involved women, linked to intersecting vulnerabilities such as housing instability, substance use, violence and poor mental health. In Australia, limited research has explored how women in prison navigate access to family planning services. This study aimed to examine the experiences of incarcerated women in New South Wales (NSW) in accessing contraception and making fertili…

Introduction
Chaplaincy and spiritual care in Australian ambulance services
Ambulance staff wellbeing programs aim to support the bio-psycho-social and sometimes spiritual needs of paramedics. While evidence demonstrates strong connections between spirituality and/or religion to wellbeing outcomes, little is known about spiritual care in ambulance services or its impact. The aim of this study was to investigate paramedics' perspectives on the role and value of Australian ambulance chaplains. A cross-sectional online stud…
The use of immersive simulation in paramedicine education
The emergence of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) modalities has increased the potential of simulation in paramedicine education. The integration of AR/MR into education programmes should be underpinned by sound learning design; however, little is known about their effective use. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify the application and integration of AR/MR within paramedicine education. The review searched MEDLINE, EMBA…
The Role and Value of Chaplains in an Australian Ambulance Service
Chaplains are embedded in several ambulance services across Australia, however as Australia’s religiosity is currently in decline and questions are being asked about retaining chaplains, little is actually known about their role and value within Ambulance services. The aim of this paper is to present the key findings from interviews with chaplains about their role and value of being ambulance chaplains. These findings are then compared with those…
The Role and Value of Chaplains in the Ambulance Service
Chaplains are employed by ambulance services in many states across Australia as one element in a suite of initiatives to support the health and wellness of paramedics. The aim of this paper is to present key findings from a study that explored paramedic perspectives on the role and value of chaplains in the ambulance service. Seventeen paramedics participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using framework analysis. Two themes w…
How Do Women and Men Negotiate Sex in Later Life Relationships? A Qualitative Analysis of Data from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging
Later life relationships and in particular the role of sex within them, have often been neglected in research due to assumptions of decline and sexlessness. We contribute to a growing body of work which counters these stereotypes by examining sexual scripts within the socio-cultural context of later life relationships. We analyzed open-text comments from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA) collected as part of a self-completion questio…

Introduction to volume two
Non-representational theories and landscape
This chapter explores the emergence of non-representational approaches to understanding landscape. Carl Sauer’s concern with the ‘morphology’ of the landscape presented a significant moment in the history of geography’s concerns landscape. Sauer and a range of followers explored how “human activity was the single greatest agent of landscape change and that land use varies according to cultural preferences”. Non-representational theories (NRTs) ap…
Non-representational theories and geography
This chapter focuses on the relationship between non-representational theories (NRTs) and geography. It traces out some of the intellectual lineages of NRTs. The chapter explains the different ways that NRTs have had an impact on the discipline of geography and the extent of that impact. ‘New Cultural Geography’ emerged during the 1980s as a prominent approach to geographic research. Central to New Cultural Geography then was a specific attention…
Non-representational theories and affect
This chapter provides a brief overview of some of the key features of non-representational theories&s; (NRTs) understandings of affect. Affect relates to but is not the same as a host of other words people might use relatively interchangeably in their everyday lives like sensation, feeling, or emotion. In an academic context, it is also challenging because affect has been understood and referred to in a range of senses across a range of academic …
Concluding
Regardless of how many times those engaged in the development of non-representational theories (NRTs) have said and/or shown that NRTs are concerned with representations, early critiques which claimed that NRTs did not attend to representation or denied their importance recur and are taken as correct. The problem that is the name ‘non-representational theory’ just won’t go away. That question of philosophical/theoretical exposition does raise an …
Non-representational theories and practice
This chapter provides a detailed consideration of the origin and nature of this focus on practice, both in terms of it being an analytical starting point – meaning a focus on cognate terms such as performance, embodiment, and performativity – but also a direction for empirical inquiry in light of Non-representational theories (NRTs). It discusses a series of key terms from within this work on practice. NRTs seek to move beyond social constructivi…
Non-representational theories and materiality
This chapter explores the questions various geographers have asked about cultural geography’s attention to the material world and, in particular, the various calls made to ‘rematerialize’ human geography. There is a diverse and longstanding history of cultural geographers engaging with various materialities in their research. Recent calls for a rematerialized cultural geography have taken a variety of directions. Materializing is often equated to…
Non-representational theories and method
This chapter explores attempts to attend to the methodological challenges non-representational theories (NRTs) present to geographic research. It focuses less on the specific methods or recording techniques that might be employed by those engaged with NRTs. The expanded onto-epistemological realm opened up by NRTs has led to a range of questions around how scholars might ‘do’ research after NRTs. NRTs have brought a whole range of new concerns in…
Geography and post-phenomenology
This paper examines geography’s engagements with phenomenology. Tracing phenomenology’s influence, from early humanist reflections on the lifeworld to non-representational theories of practice, the paper identifies the emergence of a distinct post-phenomenological way of thinking. However, there is currently no clear articulation of what differentiates post-phenomenology from phenomenology as a set of theories or ideas, nor is there a clear set o…
Pour votre tranquillité
Chronic everyday life
The aims of this paper are twofold. Firstly, taking inspiration from recent criticisms of non-representational theory, namely its over-valorization of the evental over the contextual, the paper argues for an ecological perspective on practices and performances, which is attentive to both the contextual and the evental. Secondly, and more specifically, this is approached through an examination of the hybrid temporalities of street performance thro…
Failing on Deaf Ears
In this paper I engage with how we attend to sound in terms of musical performance, but also more generally. Whilst recent work in geography has begun to approach the significance of practices of listening, particularly in terms of its performance, its interpretative role, and its cultural politics, I want to approach the act of listening itself and sound itself. In doing this I take inspiration from the recent work of Nancy and particularly his …
Apprehending everyday rhythms
This paper develops means of apprehending the rhythms of everyday practices and performances. Emerging from the context of recent calls for more explicit engagements with issues surrounding research methods and methodologies in the doing of cultural geography, and in particular in the examination of the geographies of practices, the paper responds to critiques of recent discussions of urban and social rhythms that highlight limitations in the art…
Street Performance and the City
This article examines the performative transformation of street spaces into performance places by considering the practices of street performers. Street performance here refers to a set of practices whereby either musical or nonmusical performances are undertaken in the street with the aim of eliciting donations from passersby. Drawing on ethnographic observations undertaken in Bath, U.K., and situating the discussion in recent conceptions of eve…
Jography
Jogging is a relatively under-researched mobile practice with much existing literature focusing on ‘serious’ and competitive running. In this paper, we provide an account of some of the movements, meanings and experiences that together help produce the practice of jogging in the south-western English city of Plymouth. Drawing upon participant diaries and interviews, we uncover rich detail about how joggers ascribe not one but a number of meanings…
Ecologies of Experience
Recently a range of relational approaches have established themselves in many arenas of geographical thought. Insights have been drawn in from poststructural philosophy and social theory to decentre the human subject and consider agency in a more distributed way. Within such work, amongst references to networks, rhizomes, assemblages, and the like, the term 'ecology' has at times been employed to refer to such relationalty. However, the implicati…

Sonic affects and the production of space
This article examines the affective capacities of sound and its role in the on-going production of social spaces. More specifically, the article seeks to understand the situated nature of sound's affectivity within particular social-political-material contexts or circumstances. This is developed through a discussion of an empirical case study related to the history of street music: the 'street music debates' of Victorian London. The interrelation…
Non-representational Theory
Non-representational Theory explores a range of ideas which have recently engaged geographers and have led to the development of an alternative approach to the conception, practice, and production of geographic knowledge. Non-representational Theory refers to a key body of work that has emerged in geography over the past two and a half decades that emphasizes the importance of practice, embodiment, materiality, and process to the ongoing formatio…
Language, culture and identity
Taking as its principal point of departure the work of Peter Trudgill, this article offers a linguistic analysis of the accents used in pop and rock music. It examines the singing styles of various performers across a number of decades and across a range of musical genres. It also seeks to develop Trudgill's original framework mainly by bringing in additional linguistic research, including some recent work on register analysis, and by drawing on …
A sense of the cycling environment
This paper explores how cyclists gain a sense of the environments they move through by considering their felt experiences of the affective atmospheres that emerge in and through their movements. More specifically, the focus falls upon how various forms of transport infrastructure choreograph bodies in their movements through the city and so contributes towards the co-production of various affective atmospheres between differently mobile bodies. D…
Developing inclusive residential care for older lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans ( LGBT ) people
There have been substantial achievements in legislative and human rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) older people and their visibility in health and social care has equally increased. These appear to have surpassed the ability of care services to meet their needs given documented concerns about the accessibility, inclusiveness and safety of care services particularly institutionalised care. This requires systemic change not …
Reason' and 'tickle' as pragmatic constructs in the discourse of advertising
We treat them all the same’
The distinct needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) residents in care homes accommodating older people have been neglected in scholarship. On the basis of a survey of 187 individuals, including service managers and direct care staff, we propose three related arguments. First, whilst employees’ attitudes generally indicate a positive disposition towards LGBT residents, this appears unmatched by the ability to recognise such individuals a…
Old(er) care home residents and sexual/intimate citizenship
Sexuality and intimacy in care homes for older people are overshadowed by concern with prolonging physical and/or psychological autonomy. When sexuality and intimacy have been addressed in scholarship, this can reflect a sexological focus concerned with how to continue sexual activity with reduced capacity. We review the (Anglophone) academic and practitioner literatures bearing on sexuality and intimacy in relation to older care home residents (…
Differentiating selves
Scholarship on gay bars/'villages' has overshadowed study of 'homospaces' (gay fields of existence) less available/inaccessible to a wider public - websites, saunas and social/support groups. Based on interviews with 27 men aged 39-61 living in Manchester, this article addresses what middle-aged gay men's accounts of these particular homospaces say about their experiences of age/ageing and how relations of ageism work within them. Specifically, I…
What remains of the intersubjective
Perils, Precariousness and Pleasures
Based on interviews with 27 gay men aged 39 - 61 living in Manchester, this article examines how middle-aged gay men are differentiated and negotiate relations in heterosexually defined spaces. I focus on what informants' accounts of relations in these 'heterospaces' say about middle-aged gay men's responses to homophobia. I argue that 'ageing capital' is implicated in subjects' accounts that capitulate to, negotiate with and challenge heteronorm…
Violence in the Lives of Incarcerated Aboriginal Mothers in Western Australia
Drawing on in-depth interviews with incarcerated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers in Western Australia, we report on the women's use of violence in their relationships with others. Results reinforce that Aboriginal women are overwhelmingly victims of violence; however, many women report also using violence, primarily as a strategy to deal with their own high levels of victimization. The "normalization" of violence in their lives and …
Co - Producing Mobilities
In an experimental session entitled Co-Producing Mobilities held at the 2014 Royal Geographical Society-Institute of British Geographers Annual Conference, 20 mobility scholars travelled around London on foot, by bus and by Tube to investigate how mobilities could be considered co-produced. In this paper, 18 participants reflect on this collaborative experiment and on how it influenced their thinking about mobilities, geographical knowledge and p…
Excavation versus sustainability in situ
Assurance, a British warship of 44 guns, was lost on the Needles of Wight, UK, in 1753. Pomone, a British 5th rate 38-gun frigate of the Leda class, followed in 1811. Designated a‘protected wreck’ in 1975 this multi-period site was investigated under a UK Government licence. Despite her total disintegration, Pomone left artefact scatters attesting to her size, character, resting position and evidence of her cabin plan. This archaeological evidenc…
Reflexivity denied? The emotional and health-seeking resources of men facing disadvantage
Based on focus group discussions of self-generated photographs of individuals aged 19-67 resident in urban Northwest England, this article examines the health narratives of men facing disadvantage because of economic hardship and/or mental health difficulty (mhd). In contrast to stereotypes of men as uncomfortable with emotions linked to vulnerability, we explore how such men can develop within self-help groups the kind of emotional resources tha…
Using photovoice with working-class men
Photovoice, a method involving participant-generated images, has grown steadily in popularity in health and social research since the late 1990s. It has commonly been situated within participatory action research (PAR), which itself involves community groups in studies of the socio-economic, political, and cultural issues affecting/constraining them. Much photovoice-based research (within PAR) has been claimed as empowering for disadvantaged part…

Pedagogical stylistics and literary evaluation
This article is about pedagogical stylistics in general and about the critical evaluation of fictional narrative in particular. It examines levels of narrative organisation in a passage from Ernest Hemingway's novella The Old Man and the Sea ([1952]1976) and makes specific reference to patterns of speech and thought presentation in the extract. A basic teaching programme is outlined which is designed to encourage students’ awareness of the way mo…
Predicting U.S. Business-Cycle Regimes
This article examines the use of logistic classification methods for the identification and prediction of postwar U.S. business-cycle expansion and contraction regimes as defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) reference turning-point dates. We present a coherent theoretical framework for this task using measures of discriminatory information. The analysis encompasses model selection, parameter estimation, and classification de…

Reason' and 'tickle' as pragmatic constructs in the discourse of advertising
Language, Ideology and Point of View
This systematic introduction to the concept of point of view in language explores the ways in which point of view intersects with and is shaped by ideology. It specifically focuses on the way in which speakers and writers linguistically encode their beliefs, interests and biases in a wide range of media. The book draws on an extensive array of linguistic theories and frameworks and each chapter includes a self-contained introduction to a particul…
On the Discourse of Satire
This book advances a model for the analysis of contemporary satirical humour. Combining a range of theoretical frameworks in stylistics, pragmatics and discourse analysis, Simpson examines both the methods of textual composition and the strategies of interpretation for satire. Verbal irony is central to the model, in respect of which Simpson isolates three principal “ironic phases” that shape the uptake of satirical humour. Throughout the book, c…
Violence, Police and Riots in New Orleans Political Culture
Through an analysis of four major riots in New Orleans between 1854 and 1874, this paper examines the central role of local police forces in the violent New Orleans political culture. Through this analysis, the paper questions the extent to which not just exclusion, but political violence, is embedded in American republicanism. From the re-integration of the city in 1852 well into the Jim Crow era, police forces served as party operatives in New …

‘So, as you can see . . .’
Recently there has been a significant upsurge in the use of video methodologies in the study of the geographies of everyday and artistic practices. This paper seeks to contribute to this growing interest in a very particular sense, by thinking critically about what video does and does not offer to the study of embodied practice. Grounding this discussion in recent developments in the theorisation of practice, and related calls for further methodo…

A Stylistic Analysis of Modern Irish Poetry
Forty chapters, written by leading scholars across the world, describe the latest thinking on modern Irish poetry. The Handbook begins with a consideration of Yeats's early work, and the legacy of the 19th century. The broadly chronological areas which follow, covering the period from the 1910s through to the 21st century, allow scope for coverage of key poetic voices in Ireland in their historical and political context.

Alienation, ambivalence, agency
Based on interviews with 27 men and 20 observation sessions, this article explores how middle-aged gay men’s accounts/experiences of Manchester’s ‘gay village’ indicate various uses of ‘ageing capital’ (at times problematic) that differentiate them from other gay men. Men’s spoken and bodily expressed accounts indicate three responses to gay ageism. First, the village represents an alienated space where middle-aged men felt subject to ageist scru…
Differentiating the self
Middle-aged gay men in Manchester differentiate themselves through accounts of ‘friendship family’ from relating/kinship associated with heterosexuals and younger gay men. In this article, based on interviews with 27 men aged 39–61, I explore narratives of friendship family. This critical space enables development/mobilisation of the resources of ageing – ‘ageing capital’ – needed to reclaim self-worth in the face of homophobia and gay ageism. It…
