Organisational disorientation and gender-based violence at UK music festivals
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains prevalent within music festivals despite increasing industry attention to safety and prevention. Existing research has focused primarily on festival attendees and interpersonal risk, with far less attention paid to the workers who sustain festival environments and respond to harm as it unfolds. Drawing on feminist phenomenology and an ethnographic study of UK music festival, this paper develops the concept of o…
The Role of Homophily in Transformative Advertising Research
Globally, thousands of women suffer irreversible disfigurement from acid assault, an act of culturally bound gender-based violence. This study situates its investigation within this troubling context and considers how advertising, as an institution, can enhance the well-being of stigmatized groups, as well as the role of homophily in this process. Through abductive reasoning and netnographic analysis, we examine advertising audiences’ reactions t…
Tackling Sexual Harassment in the Workplace—Lessons to Be Learned
This paper examines the impact of the hashtag social movement #BalanceTonPorc on women in France who have experienced workplace sexual harassment. The study aims to explore the extent to which the movement has inspired targets to report incidents of harassment and to seek justice, as well as to evaluate its influence on their self‐awareness of harassment. Moreover, it identifies factors within the movement that may have limited its effectiveness …
The Role of Consumer Speech Acts in Brand Activism
Transformative advertising research (TAR) suggests examining advertising’s transformational possibilities via the interactions between institutional actors at each marketing level to gauge its effect on society. We employ rhetorical institutionalism as a lens to examine the online speech acts of consumers as they respond to a brand activism campaign focusing on an environmental problem. Our data take the form of written comments by YouTube users …
Indigenous perspectives on breaking bad news
Most healthcare providers (HCPs) work from ethical principles based on a Western model of practice that may not adhere to the cultural values intrinsic to Indigenous peoples. Breaking bad news (BBN) is an important topic of ethical concern in health research. While much has been documented on BBN globally, the ethical implications of receiving bad news, from an Indigenous patient perspective in particular, is an area that requires further inquiry…
Renarrating a Biological Invasion
The historical case study has become an important tool in developing understandings of biological invasions and biological control and, as with any historical investigation, it may be appropriate to supplement written records with oral evidence. This article explores memories of a biological control programme in French colonial Madagascar involving introduced cochineal insect predation on equally exotic prickly pear. Drawing on data collected in …

Plant Transfers in Historical Perspective
This paper explores some routes into the history of plant transfers, especially during the period of European imperialism. It attempts to draw on different bodies of research, which are not usually juxtaposed, and weave together perspectives from contrasting disciplines. It does not pretend to offer a history, which is a much more complex task. We have deliberately tried to include cultivated crops, garden plants, weeds and plant invaders within …
An Empirical Investigation of Sexual Harassers
This study used published arbitration decisions as a data source to explore identifiable behavioral patterns of sexual harassment perpetrators. The results of the multi-method analysis generally supported the need to distinguish between different types of perpetrators and provided the basis for a new typology of sexual harassers. Two dominant themes emerged around the number of targets and the nature of the harassing behavior. Some harassers appe…
Ancestors, Power and History in Madagascar
The peoples of Madagascar are renowned for the prominence they give to the dead. In this edited volume, regional specialists reassess the significance of ancestors for changing relations of power, emerging identities, and local historical consciousness. Case-studies include The Royal Bath of 1817 (Pier Larson), Succession in an Urbanized Sakalava Kingdom (Lesley Sharp), The Antankaraia Ritual Cycle (Michael Lambek, Andrew Walsh), Nineteenth-Centu…
Power and Meaning on the Periphery of a Malagasy Kingdom
This paper explores the historical narratives of the Karembola, a people who settled a highly marginal region of southern Madagascar as Maroseraña subjects but who subsequently subverted royal ritual to make themselves "lords in their own land." In contrast to Malagasy peoples who either identify as "royal followers" or,alternatively, reject symbols of monarchy, Karembola attitudes to monarchy are shown to be profoundly ambivalent. Focusing on th…
Rethinking Ancestors and Colonial Power in Madagascar
This article reconsiders the relationship between ancestors and colonial power through a comparative analysis of the mortuary rituals of two Malagasy peoples, the Betsimisaraka of the east coast and the Karembola of the deep south. In contrast to analyses which emphasise an opposition between ancestors and colonial power, it argues that mortuary rituals construct striking analogies between the two. These analogies rest on similar conceptualisatio…

Who Killed 'Malagasy Cactus'? Science, Environment and Colonialism in Southern Madagascar (1924-1930)
The eradication of 'Malagasy cactus' (a prickly pear Opuntia) by a cochineal insect during the late 1920s had a profound impact on the political economies of southern Madagascar, causing extensive hardship to local peoples and their cattle and changing irrevocably the relationship between this arid region and the colonial state. Yet the circumstances surrounding this event have never been explored in any depth. This paper initiates its study by e…
Circumcision, Death, and Strangers
In his book How Societies Remember, Connerton (1989) shows the importance of bodily performance and commemorative ceremonies in the conscious evocation of the past. 'For images of the past and recollected knowledge of the past,' he argues, 'are conveyed and sustained by (more or less ritual) performances' (p. 4). The Jewish practice of circumcision provides a very good example of what Connerton means by the 'theology of memory,' for through the r…
