Ashes
Why do I remember the room as green? Photographs found online soon confirmed that its murals were mostly made of lurid flesh tones. The remaining surfaces of its walls, like its ceiling and the cast-iron columns that held it up, were a mix of grays and dingy whites. Yes, the peeling paint here and there revealed a layer of that drab green we tend to associate with hospitals, though the building had instead been a school until its abandonment by t…
Introduction
Afterword
Afterword to the Journal for the History of Knowledge 2023 special issue "Entangled Temporalities"
“I’m always hiding and ducking and diving”
Background There is emerging consensus that older opiate treatment patients have specific health and social care needs and also evidence of a particular stigma associated with opiate maintenance treatment. Yet, very little is known about the stigma experienced by individuals who have been interacting with methadone treatment services over a prolonged period.Aim and Method Conducted in Ireland and drawing on data from a qualitative study of 25 lon…
Farewell, Freud
In search of a new way out of the bind of Freud's conception of sexual difference, this article turns its ears to a voice, one that echoes along the upward slope from the Underworld, as Orpheus and Eurydice climb toward an escape only one of them will achieve (and only temporarily). As we shall see, this is an echo that resounds across texts, times, literatures, and languages. But what is it trying to tell us? Plunging into ancient and modern ver…
Pathways to ‘recovery’ and social reintegration
Dogs and Phonographs
Let us begin by conjuring the ghost of a specific nonhuman listener: Kleinzach, the beloved dog of composer Jacques Offenbach, evidently named for the dwarf in E. T. A. Hoffmann’s story, ‘Klein Zac

Aids, Sexual Health, and the Catholic Church in 1980s Ireland
Our aim was to explore the paradoxical role of the Catholic Church during the early AIDS era in establishing a policy network committed to the principles of public health, even in instances in which these principles contradicted Catholic moral teaching. This article is rooted in a study that explored the transformational effects of AIDS on Irish sexual health policy during the initial decade of the epidemic; that is, as it unfolded in Ireland bet…

Deep Classics
Fragmented, buried, and largely lost, the classical past presents formidable obstacles to anyone who would seek to know it. ‘Deep Classics’ is the study of these obstacles and, in particular, of the way in which the contemplation of the classical past resembles – and has even provided a model for – other kinds of human endeavor. This volume offers a new way to understand the modalities and aims of Classics itself, through the ages. Its individual…
Caring for Grandchildren in Kinship Care
This article presents the findings of a small qualitative study of the experience of Irish grandparents providing full-time care for grandchildren whose birth parents were drug-dependent. In addition to the stresses and strains directly associated with caregiving of this kind, grandparents also reported considerable dissatisfaction with the support they received from statutory health and social service systems. In particular, they were critical o…
Ireland’s Public Health (Alcohol) Bill
In the wake of the Steering Group Report on a National Substance Misuse Strategy in 2012, the Irish government announced in October 2013 that it had approved a number of alcohol policy measures to be incorporated into a Public Health (Alcohol) Bill to be drafted and enacted as quickly as possible. Against a historic backdrop of previous alcohol policy proposals in Ireland in recent decades, this article looks critically at this recent development…

Reading death and the senses in Lucan and Lucretius
The Roman Paratext
What is a paratext, and where can we find it in a Roman text? What kind of space does a paratext occupy, and how does this space relate to the text and its contexts? How do we interpret Roman texts 'paratextually'? And what does this approach suggest about a work's original modes of plotting meaning, or the assumptions that underpin our own interpretation? These questions are central to the conceptual and practical concerns of the volume, which o…

Obstacles to the Implementation of an Integrated National Alcohol Policy in Ireland
This article explores how proponents of a public health model of alcohol policy have, for more than a quarter of a century, argued consistently but unsuccessfully for an integrated national alcohol policy in the Republic of Ireland. It looks in particular at the past decade, a time when increases in alcohol consumption and related problems strengthened the case for such an integrated policy, and when managerial innovations in the sphere of cross-…
A Qualitative Study of How Families Decide to Adopt Household Smoking Restrictions
Household smoking bans reduce exposure to secondhand smoke in adult nonsmokers and children. To explore the process families go through in adopting voluntary household smoking restrictions, qualitative interviews were conducted with rural African American and White adults in 102 households. The study investigated how families decide to restrict smoking in the home, who has significant influence in the decision-making process, the kinds of disagre…

Lexicography and world Englishes from Australia to Asia
This paper provides a history of the Macquarie Dictionary with an emphasis on the elements necessary for the successful publication of a national dictionary of Australian English. A brief description is given of aspects of the variety captured in the dictionary, as well as of the social context in which the dictionary was published. Research into English in South-East Asia followed to determine firstly if varieties of English existed, and if publ…

Dictionaries and the stratification of vocabulary
This paper sets out to consider a range of issues relevant to the study of Philippine English vocabulary, including the importance of dictionaries in the legitimization of world Englishes, the description of lexical innovations, and the historical development and codification of the Philippine English lexicon. A number of early sources suggest that Filipino words began to be borrowed into the everyday English of the American colonizers at a very …
Addiction Problems, Addiction Services, and Social Work in the Republic of Ireland
The aim of this paper is to review policy and practice in relation to the management of alcohol and drug problems in Ireland, with a specific focus on the role of professional social work. There is a high prevalence of alcohol and drug problems in the caseloads of social workers that work within the statutory childcare and criminal justice services. Professional social work in Ireland is of comparatively recent origin and there are few social wor…

A View on Standards in South-East Asia
As a dictionary editor I have observed patterns in the reactions that speakers of English in South-East Asia have to the general question of what should or shouldn't be in the dictionary. This paper will therefore be concerned with the acceptance of lexical items, the spelling and treatment of such items in text, particularly the italicisation of those words and phrases considered to be of doubtful legitimacy, and with those matters of usage whic…

World English in an Asian context
This paper briefly outlines the conceptualization and methodology behind the lexicographical project on World English in an Asian context. The thinking behind this project has evolved from the past experience of the Macquarie Dictionary (1981). The paper discusses the motivations for such a dictionary, the corpus, the types of lexical items from various registers of Asian Englishes, and finally, the market for an Asian-English dictionary

The hand of Cicero
Hundreds perished in Rome's Second Proscription, but one victim is remembered above all others. Cicero stands out, however, not only because of his fame, but also because his murder included a unique addition to the customary decapitation. For his corpse was deprived not only of its head, but also of its right hand. Plutarch tells us why Mark Antony wanted the hand that wrote the Philippics. But how did it come to pass that Rome's greatest orator…
