Population vulnerability of residents, employees, and cruise-ship passengers to tsunami hazards of islands in complex seismic regions
Reducing the potential for loss of life from tsunamis is challenging on islands located in complex seismic regions given the multiple sources that surround islands, differences among islands in the amount of time needed to evacuate before wave arrival, and the high number of residents, employees, and tourists in tsunami-hazard zones. We examine variations in population vulnerability in island communities to multiple tsunami threats and use the Un…
V's Virtual Afterlife
Nonhuman Online Personas (NHOPs) are coherent digital assemblages not directly associated with the identities of individual humans. NHOPs encompass entities like brands, places, artificial intelligences, and, as we explore in this study, video game characters. This article examines the NHOP of V, the customisable protagonist from the video game Cyberpunk 2077, to consider how such characters attain a virtual afterlife beyond the original text thr…
Plato’s “Charmides.”
Four English-language books in the past half decade have taken on Plato’s Charmides, by Raphael Woolf (2023), Voula Tsouna (2022), Inbal Cohen-Taber (2022), and by Christopher C. Raymond and the author of this review (2019). Preceding, in English, were monographs by three Thomases—Tuozzo (2011), Schmid (1998), and Tuckey (1951)—and David Levine (2016) and Drew Hyland (1981). Nevertheless, Charmides lacks a spot in the mainstream of philosophy; th…
Ja’miezing’s Podcast Persona
An online persona is a public presentation of a human or non-human actor such as organisations and locations, digital objects, artificial intelligence, and media texts. This article provides an analysis of the online persona of the Australian satirical comedy podcast, Ja'miezing . Written, directed, performed, and produced by comedian Chris Lilley, Ja'miezing is a narrative podcast series that features the intimate details of the post-high school…
Les critiques et les crochets
Au début des années 1930, de nombreux critiques français sonnent l’alarme quant aux défis que rencontre la chanson française. Avec la disparition des cafés-concerts, le « tour de chant » a progressivement trouvé refuge au music-hall, une institution elle-même sous pression suite à l’essor des technologies de diffusion telles que le cinéma, la radio et le disque. Sauvegarder les traditions scéniques et communicatives de la chanson devient une préo…
Binge-watching and mental illness versus comfort TV and mental health in WandaVision
WandaVision launched the Disney+ subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) platform by blending the sitcom and the superhero genres in a nostalgia-inducing fusion of Marvel comics, cinema and television. The series represents the canonisation of Marvel media into a single cohesive narrative 'multiverse', yet the story focuses on the personal experience of the character, Wanda, and her struggle with loss, grief, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)…
“Ideas-Men” (Gnômotupoi Andres)
This paper addresses the fifth-century comic coinage gnômotupos, which has not otherwise received scholarly attention. Translators of Aristophanes and Aristotle have typically glossed it into English as “maxim-coining” (with equivalents in other languages). This is a sensible inference from a fourth-century use of γνώμη, “maxim”, and the verb τύπτειν, “stamping”. It also tracks the importance of maxims to Sophistic-era adoption of wisdom-culture …
The Cambridge Companion to the Sophists
The Classical Greek sophists – Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus, Hippias, and Antiphon, among others – are some of the most important figures in the flourishing of linguistic, historical, and philosophical reflection at the time of Socrates. They are also some of the most controversial: what makes the sophists distinctive, and what they contributed to fifth-century intellectual culture, has been hotly debated since the time of Plato. They have often…
The Virtue of Agency
Among the cardinal virtues of classical Greece—wisdom, courage, justice, piety, and sôphrosunê—sôphrosunê is now the least understood or esteemed. But, as this book shows—studying the vigorous and wide-ranging debates about the virtue across fifth- and fourth-century poetry, prose, and philosophy—many Greeks in fact judged it the preeminent virtue. They understood it to be the capacity to choose between one’s conflicting desires and to act only o…

How Expert and Inexpert Instructors Talk about Teaching
Using mixed-method social network analysis, we explored the discussions happening between instructors within a teaching-related network and how instructional expertise correlated with the content of those discussions. Instructional expertise, defined by the extent to which effective teaching practices were implemented, was measured for 82 faculty teaching at a Midwestern research university in the USA using the Faculty Inventory of Methods and Pr…
The client net state
Social media corporations have become fixtures of daily life to the extent they are regularly compared to states in size and scope. These corporations and their platforms have become the dominant stakeholders of cyberspace, operating as state‐like cyber actors, or net states. Previous approaches have limited the net state to the online, framing their populations and agendas separate to the material reality of their everyday operations, overlookin…
The Great Australian TV Delay
Netflix’s arrival in Australia in 2015, almost a decade after its start as a streaming media platform, helped to close the cultural and technological gap in televisual content legitimately available to the national audience. Australians, eager for international content unavailable locally, had turned to Internet piracy, dramatically changing traditional national televisual consumption practices. Although commonly described as “disruptive,” Netfli…
Barriers to Change
We examined the relationship between faculty teaching networks, which can aid with the implementation of didactic high-impact practices (HIPs) in classroom instruction, and the actual implementation of said practices. Participants consisted of STEM faculty members that teach introductory courses at a USA research university. A total of 210 faculty were invited to complete the Teaching Practices Inventory (TPI), which measures the use of classroom…
Cultural policy aspirations and the turn in Saudi Arabia’s video game industry
Saudi Arabia is one of the largest emerging but least-known nations in the domain of game cultures and the broader transformation of popular culture. While previous studies focus largely on the representation of Arabs in video games and other entertainment forms, cultural policy and its influence on gaming culture have been scanty, owing to challenges arising from local linguistic conventions and the limited availability of primary materials. To …

Online Conference
The online conference does not and cannot replicate the flow and feel of a face-to-face experience; instead, it offers something new.We saw the timing and the mode of the conference as a chance to ask hard questions about the ground that persona studies has carved as an emerging field of study. We wanted to ensure that persona studies is a space for new voices and new directions of inquiry, and to provide a conference space that is entirely built…
Mapping Persona and Games
For those new to games studies, the most important primer is the recognition that, as a field of research, it is at its most revealing when in conversation with perspectives from other fields and domains of inquiry. Espen Aarseth (2001) announced that the first issue of Game Studies, the international journal of computer game research, marked the commencement of computer game studies. Aarseth's editorial launched the trajectory for the following …
An approach to online fan persona
One application of the emerging field of persona studies is to the analysis of online fan persona. Indeed, there already exists a deep tradition of attention to fan persona within fan studies. A persona-inflected fan studies involves attention to the shift from representational media to a presentational media paradigm and invites questions about the contemporary experience of the public presentation of the online self as a fan. In combining the o…
Calling Philosophers Names
An original and provocative book that illuminates the origins of philosophy in ancient Greece by revealing the surprising early meanings of the word "philosopher"Calling Philosophers Names provides a groundbreaking account of the origins of the term philosophos or "philosopher" in ancient Greece. Tracing the evolution of the word's meaning over its first two centuries, Christopher Moore shows how it first referred to aspiring political sages and …
Pay to play? Subverting the digital economy of Pokémon Go in the smart city
Location-based games (LBGs) on smart mobile phones are challenging people's conceptions of public and private space and, in the process, opening up windows of opportunity for subverting the neoliberalisation of urban space associated with the smart city. In the context of the smart city, urban control by corporate, neoliberal interests exerts pressure on players to interweave digital gameplay with everyday life in hybrid urban space. However, pla…

Brill's Companion to the Reception of Socrates
"Brill's Companion to the Reception of Socrates, edited by Christopher Moore, provides almost unbroken coverage, across three-dozen studies, of 2450 years of philosophical and literary engagement with Socrates - the singular Athenian intellectual, paradigm of moral discipline, and inspiration for millennia of philosophical, rhetorical, and dramatic composition. Following an Introduction reflecting on the essentially "receptive" nature of Socrates…
Persona as method
Researching persona is a study in the production, dissemination and exchange of public identity. One starting point in the process is to look at the production of the presentation of the self online, which allows for a particularly valuable way of exploring celebrity and public personalities. In order to advance on this point, this article examines three emerging and complementary methods of persona studies that work to capture different elements…
Partnership or Privatisation? The political economy of local economic restructuring
The restructuring of local economies in the face of declining traditional industries is a major problem confronting all advanced western societies. This article contrasts the experience of two countries with very different traditions of political management of their national economies, namely the UK and Sweden. The authors argue that whilst there are important divergencies in macro political and economic objectives, there is an interesting conver…
Five Dimensions of Online Persona
Before Facebook, Twitter, and most of the digital media platforms that now form routine parts of our online lives, Jay Bolter (2000) anticipated that online activities would reshape how we understand and produce identity: a 'networked self', he noted, 'is displacing Cartesian printed self as a cultural paradigm' (2000, p. 26). The twenty-first century has not only produced a proliferation and mass popularisation of platforms for the production of…
Enhancing Older Adults’ Sense of Belonging and Subjective Well-Being Through Sport Game Attendance, Team Identification, and Emotional Support
Objective: We investigate how (a) attendance at sport games and (b) identification with a sport team as fans (i.e., team identification) influence older adults' perceptions of emotional support, belonging, and subjective well-being (SWB). Method: An experimental pilot study was conducted with 50 older adults, followed by a main survey study administered to 534 older adults from various communities across the United States. Results: Pilot study re…

Urban Policy Contradictions
British urban policy emphasises the concept of partnership between different levels of government and the importance of institutional co-ordination for effective problem solving. This ignores underlying political and ideological conflicts between the objectives of central government and local authorities in the major conurbations. Examining the evolution of urban policy in Clydeside reveals two competing models of urban regeneration articulated b…
Socrates and Self-Knowledge in Aristophanes' Clouds
This article argues that Aristophanes' Clouds treats Socrates as distinctly interested in promoting self-knowledge of the sort related to self-improvement. Section I shows that Aristophanes links the precept γνῶθι σαυτόν (‘know yourself’) with Socrates. Section II outlines the meaning of that precept for Socrates. Section III describes Socrates' conversational method in the Clouds as aimed at therapeutic self-revelation. Section IV identifies the…
Reflections on the New Local Political Economy
The article reflects upon the fundamental changes which have affected British local government in the 1980s and upon the responses to these changes by local authorities. The processes of restructuring affecting localities are summarised to provide a context in which to analyse the responses of local government to change. The main part of the article looks at the range of responses. The typology of responses identified are: resignation, resistance…

This paper reports a field study conducted in Scotland. Participants from one Scottish town stereotyped those from their own town and from another 30 miles away in England. These stereotypes were elicited in three conditions: after stereotyping the English and the Scottish; after stereotyping the Germans and the British; without any explicit reference to national categories We predicted that the act of national stereotyping would have implication…
Pindar's Charioteer in Plato's Phaedrus (227b9–10)
In his second question of the Phaedrus , Socrates asks Phaedrus how he spent (διατριβή) his morning with Lysias. Phaedrus answers: ‘You'll learn, should you have the leisure (σχολή) to walk and listen.’ Socrates responds: What? Don't you think I would judge it, as Pindar puts it, a thing ‘surpassing even lack of leisure’ (καὶ ἀσχολίας ὑπέρτερον), to hear how you and Lysias spent your time? (227b6–10) Socrates quotes from First Isthmian 2. In this…

The Empire of the St. Lawrence
Originally published in 1937 as "The Commercial Empire of the St. Lawrence, 1760-1850" and re-issued in its present form in 1956, Donald Creighton's study of the St. Lawrence became an essential text in Canadian history courses. This, his first book, helped establish Creighton as the foremost English Canadian historian of his generation. In it, he examines the trading system that developed along the St. Lawrence River and he argues that the explo…

French Music, Culture, and National Identity, 1870-1939
New, insightful essays from musicologists, historians, art historians, and literary scholars reconsider the relationship of Debussy, Gauguin, Zola, and other great French creative artists to cultural and political trends during the Third Republic.
Turning a blind eye
While primary care, obstetrical, and surgical services have started to expand in the world's poorest regions, there is only sparse literature on the essential support systems that are required to make these operations function. Diagnostic imaging is critical to effective rural healthcare delivery, yet it has been severely neglected by the academic, public, and private sectors. Currently, a large portion of the world's population lacks access to a…
Sharing music files
The sharing of music files has been the focus of a massive struggle between representatives of major record companies and artists in the music industry, on one side, and peer-to-peer (p2p) file-sharing services and their users, on the other. This struggle can be analysed in terms of tactics used by the two sides, which can be classified into five categories: cover-up versus exposure, devaluation versus validation, interpretation versus alternativ…
Marking machinima
The model of learning best suited to the future may be one which sees learning as the process of managing the different kinds of participation an individual might have in complex social systems. Learning capability and engagement is thus dependent on the relationship between an individual identity and social systems. We report on the incorporation of machinima , a Web 2.0 technology, as part of an interdisciplinary and collaborative project where…

A Perfect Accord
The critical reception surrounding the ballet Les Biches (1924) reveals that the work’s initial success was largely attributable to the aesthetic synergies that unified the musical and gestural components of the work. Indebted to musical and visual themes derived from high-society fashion, and receptive to the aesthetic lure of contemporaneous (and specifically Stravinskian) neoclassical experiments, Francis Poulenc’s music and Bronislava Nijinsk…

Chaerephon the Socratic
The presentation of Chaerephon of Sphettus in Plato, Xenophon, and in Greek comedy as somewhat intellectually and socially independent of his friend Socrates illustrates the ways in which the historical Socrates engaged in the Athenian intellectual community, what he shared with its members, and to what degree he was an original thinker
How to ‘Know Thyself’ in Plato’s Phaedrus
When Socrates says, for the only time in the Socratic literature, that he strives to “know himself” (Phdr. 229e), he does not what this “self” is, or how he is to know it. Recent scholarship is split between taking it as one’s concrete personality and as the nature of (human) souls in general. This paper turns for answers to the immediate context of Socrates’ remark about selfknowledge: his long diatribe about myth-rectification. It argues that t…
