Phule's ecology
This article synthesizes anti-caste critiques of hierarchical natures, drawing on lineages of thought that emerged in nineteenth-century India in the doubly-colonial context of British imperialism and Brahmanism. It focuses on the figure of Jotirao Phule, one of the originators of the modern anti-caste movement. While Phule's immediate audience was in western India, the spatial and temporal scope of his arguments are much more ambitious, laying t…
Animating ideologies of caste in the lively city
A Great, Restless Stream
This article explores the thought of philosopher, historian, and activist Sharad Patil, particularly the way he constructs theoretical arguments by drawing on, expanding, and critiquing the insights of his predecessors in radical anti-caste thought, Jotirao Phule and B. R. Ambedkar. Patil advances a particular reading of Phule-Ambedkarism to sharpen his critique of orthodox Marxism and develop a philosophy that could undergird revolutionary egali…
Unfixing Space
Responding to recent calls to rethink space, nature, and social difference outside of North American frameworks, this article draws on the anti-caste tradition in India to explore critiques of hierarchical “natures.” It focuses on the thought of the towering anti-caste leader Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (1891–1956), who put forward an egalitarian critique of Brahmanical (upper caste) philosophy’s emphasis on permanence and spatiotemporal fixity. The artic…
Written in Stone
This chapter analyzes the way that geological formations and topological contours have helped shape—while also being shaped by—processes of memory-making and practices of commemoration in urban India. The chapter’s entry point into this problematic is the Western Ghats mountain range, and specifically the town of Mahad, Maharashtra and its environs. Nestled into a plateau in the foothills of the Ghats, Mahad is a historical port and market town. …
From Bourgeois Environmentalism to a Just Urban Commons
Itinerant urbanization
This article discusses the ways that Lefebvrian thinking on urbanization has found a purchase in Indian urban and anti-caste scholarship, and conversely, how compelling new figures of the urban have emerged from Indian scholarship that productively enliven Lefebvrian categories, refusing any separation between the experimentalism of everyday life and the political economy of space. The article explores a sense of "itinerant urbanization" at two l…
Leisure, Festival, Revolution
This article analyzes the town of Mahad in the state of Maharashtra, using it as a lens to examine protests and commemorations that are inseparable from Ambedkarite and Neo-Buddhist transformations of space. A key site of anti-caste struggle, Mahad witnessed two major protests led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in 1927: the claiming of water from Chavdar Tale, a tank located in a upper caste neighbourhood; and the burning of the Manusmriti. These events ar…

Hegemonic Shifts
This essay considers the changes that have taken place in the murals of Northern Ireland over the past decade or so. It will be argued that although there have been important developments in the murals that reflect the consolidation of 'peace' during this period, the walls also tell a different story. It will be shown that, perhaps predictably, given the paralysis and stagnation that have characterised the power-sharing arrangements, and the disi…
Bivariate Trajectories of Substance Use and Antisocial Behavior
Substance use and antisocial behavior are complex, interrelated behaviors. The current study identified model trajectory classes defined by concurrent substance use and antisocial behavior and examined trajectory associations with emerging adult outcomes. Participants from a high-risk sample of youth (n=536; 73% male) completed interviews at baseline (mean age= 16.1 years) and followup (mean age= 22.6 years). Latent class growth analyses identifi…
‘Dissident’
From “Natural” to “Ecosocial Flourishing”
Evaluative terms are a crucial part of the environmental discourse. These terms, and the evaluative frameworks in which they are imbedded, serve as important guides to action. "Natural," a term commonly used as a positive evaluation, is problematic because it can both justify unfair social relations and obscure the connections between humans and the rest of nature. "Sustainable," another popular term, is extremely malleable, and is too often elab…
Ethnicity, Body Mass, and Genome-Wide Data
This article combines social and genetic epidemiology to examine the influence of self-reported ethnicity on body mass index (BMI) among a sample of adolescents and young adults. We use genetic information from more than 5,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms in combination with principal components analysis to characterize population ancestry of individuals in this study. We show that non-Hispanic white and Mexican-American respondents differ sig…
Mid- to Late Holocene climate change
Memory and Forgetting in a Time of Violence
In the 1980s, Brian Friel, one of Ireland’s most successful twentieth century dramatists, authored two plays which were concerned with major events in colonial history. Given the context in which the plays were written – Northern Ireland was in a state of war at the time – the playwright’s choice of topics was both pointed and
The Political Production of a Language
The assertion that a language is a dialect with an army and a navydraws attention to the fact that the distinction between the two is more likely to be based on political imperatives rather than linguistic features. The aim of this article is to examine a specific example of a form of language, Ulster-Scots, whose status varies between dialect and language. It will be argued that in the context of contemporary Northern Ireland, the distinction ha…
Language and revolution, 1876–1922
This chapter presents the story of the language movement's centrality to the struggle for Irish national independence. From its unlikely beginnings in small journals to the hegemonic role played by the Gaelic League in the ideological and cultural war, the movement to preserve, revive, and restore the Gaelic language as part of the formation of national identity was one of the most important factors in motivating and inspiring those who engaged i…
Language, God, and the struggle for history
This chapter details the beginning of the destruction of the Gaelic order in Ireland by military, legal, and economic means. Though there is little evidence of the widespread use of English in the countryside, it is already evident in this period that English was the language of towns and that it had important economic, bureaucratic, and political functions. The defeat of Catholic forces in the 1640s and again at the end of the period gives rise …
Education, antiquity, and the beginnings of linguistic nationalism, 1690–1789
Post-Agreement Script
The final chapter of this book briefly considers the way in which a select number of writers have used the linguistic wealth of the island of Ireland to pose and interrogate the question of the language. Particular attention is paid to the work of contemporary poets writing in Gaelic, English, Hiberno-English, and Ulster-Scots. But the fact that Ireland and Northern Ireland are now multi-cultural societies (there are more than thirty language com…
The languages of the island of Ireland, 1922–2004
This chapter examines the history of the languages of Ireland after Partition. In Ireland, the policies of the Gaelic League and other revivalists were implemented by the Government in education and the civil service, the language was enshrined in the constitution, and the net result was a decline in the use of Gaelic throughout the 20th century and the almost complete dominance of English in civil, public, and everyday life. In Northern Ireland,…
Introduction
Reforming the Word and the words of the Irish, 1537–1607
This chapter gives an of the beginnings of linguistic colonialism proper in Ireland under Henry VIII, and the consolidation and hardening of the policy under Elizabeth I and James I. Central to the strategy of the colonists was the attempt to subjugate Ireland militarily and culturally, including the conversion of the country to Protestantism. The varying practices of colonial enforcement are examined, ranging from Henry's gradualist reformism to…
Culture, politics, and the language question, 1789–1876
Wars of Words
This book studies the politics of language in Ireland during the colonial and post-colonial periods. Beginning with the Tudors and ending with recent language legislation in Ireland and Northern Ireland, the account set out in this text challenges received notions and reveals a complex, fascinating, and often surprising history. The linguistic aspects of the major issues that have united and divided Ireland are considered, including ethnicity, cu…

How Warm Was the Medieval Warm Period
A frequent conclusion based on study of individual records from the so-called Medieval Warm Period (∼1000-1300 A.D.) is that the present warmth of the 20 th century is not unusual and therefore cannot be taken as an indication of forced climate change from greenhouse gas emissions. This conclusion is not supported by published composites of Northern Hemisphere climate change, but the conclusions of such syntheses are often either ignored or chall…

Encoding Ireland:Dictionaries and Politics in Irish History Tony Crowley (bio) In the foreword to Terry Dolan's Dictionary of Hiberno-English (1999), Tom Paulin uses Heaney's "North" to illustrate the "movement and formation of language" which he characterizes as a matter of historical struggle, "heavy with violence, atavism, the memory of later invasions, and pitched battles."1 In contrast to this fraught, difficult, unceasing process, the texts…

The Politics of Language in Ireland 1366-1922
For almost a thousand years language has been an important and contentious issue in Ireland but above all it reflects the great themes of Irish history: colonial, invasion, native resistance, religious and cultural difference. Collected here for the first time are texts on language from the date of the first legislation against the Irish: the Statute of Kilkenny, 1366, to the constitution of the Free State in 1922. Crowley's introduction connects…

Atmospheric Circulation Patterns During Glacial Inception
Models of atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic sector during glacial inception can be expanded to a hemispheric scale with the aid of diagnostic studies of the present climate. The present “Greenland Above” (GA) atmospheric circulation type may be a candidate for the atmospheric circulation type required during glacial inception. The pattern is an amplification, with only minor phase shifts, of the present average winter circulation patt…

Filtering of Milankovitch Cycles by Earth's Geography
Earth's land-sea distribution modifies the temperature response to orbitally induced perturbations of the seasonal insolation. We examine this modification in the frequency domain by generating 800,000-yr time series of maximum summer temperature in selected regions with a linear, two-dimensional, seasonal energy balance climate model. Previous studies have demonstrated that this model has a sensitivity comparable to general circulation models fo…

Causes of Climate Change Over the Past 1000 Years
Recent reconstructions of Northern Hemisphere temperatures and climate forcing over the past 1000 years allow the warming of the 20th century to be placed within a historical context and various mechanisms of climate change to be tested. Comparisons of observations with simulations from an energy balance climate model indicate that as much as 41 to 64% of preanthropogenic (pre-1850) decadal-scale temperature variations was due to changes in solar…
