  • Introducing “Virtual Archives”

    Josef Marx, John MarxARTICLENOVEL A Forum on Fiction2021

    With this issue, Novel launches a new section titled “Virtual Archives.” Here we will publish short essays that update and explain the new or continued relevance of critical-theoretical works of scholarship essential to novel studies.Our first example takes the occasion of a recently published volume as an opportunity to capture the enduring value of Raymond Williams's writing for novel critics. The appearance of a new critical book is but one of…

  • Racial disparities in the transgenerational transmission of low birthweight risk

    Collette N Ncube, Daniel A Enquobahrie et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2017References: 4

    Objective: To examine the association of maternal low birthweight (LBW) with infant LBW and infant LBW subgroups (i.e. moderate and very LBW), overall and among non-Hispanic (NH) white and NH black mothers. Design: We conducted a population-based cohort study in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, using linked birth record data of NH white and NH black mother-infant pairs ( N = 6,633) born in 1979-1998 and 2009-2011, respectively. The exposure of int…

  • Mechanisms of Adherence in a Harm Reduction Housing Program

    Dana Davis, Mary Hawk et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work Practice…2014

    Advances in clinical therapies for people living with HIV have greatly increased life expectancies, but the high levels of adherence that are necessary for clinical success are infrequently achieved, especially for chronically homeless substance users. The Open Door is a harm reduction housing program that seeks to improve clinical outcomes for this population. We present findings from qualitative interviews with residents of the program, conduct…

  • The Whole Field of Postcolonial Literature

    Josef Marx, John MarxARTICLEDiaspora A Journal of Transnational…2013

    Neil Lazarus describes a field of postcolonial literature that is both too big and too small. Too big, in that this “vast and hitherto unevenly and indifferently theorized corpus” contains too many works published in too many places and circulating in too many ways to be neatly summed up (35). The field is too small, however, in that few postcolonial works actually garner anything like meaningful scholarly attention. Saying he is “tempted to over…

  • Crisis, Crisis, Crisis

    M G Cooper, Josef MarxARTICLEdifferences2013

    The authors argue that contemporary discussions of crisis in the humanities are best understood as part of a longer genealogy of crises extending through the mid-twentieth century to the late nineteenth-century beginnings of the modern American research university. In contrast to approaches that equate the humanities with the institutional security of particular departments and disciplines (especially English), this article contends that we might…

  • Geopolitics and the Anglophone Novel, 1890–2011

    Open AccessJosef Marx, John MarxBOOKGeopolitics and the Anglophone…2012

    Literary fiction is a powerful cultural tool for criticizing governments and for imagining how better governance and better states would work. Combining political theory with strong readings of a vast range of novels, John Marx shows that fiction over the long twentieth century has often envisioned good government not in Utopian but in pragmatic terms. Early-twentieth-century novels by Joseph Conrad, E. M. Forster and Rabindrananth Tagore helped …

  • Literature and Governmentality

    Open AccessJosef Marx, John MarxARTICLELiterature Compass2011References: 16

    Recent scholarship on governmentality promises to reinvigorate literary critical analysis of how novels, poems, and plays help to organize the world's populations as they interact. In turn, literary criticism helps to illuminate the global implications of Michel Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France, published in English as Security, Territory, Population (2007) and The Birth of Biopolitics (2008). By privileging varied practice over unify…

  • The Modernist Novel and the Decline of Empire

    Open AccessJosef Marx, John MarxBOOKModernist Novel and the Decline…2005

    In the early twentieth century, subjects of the British Empire ceased to rely on a model of centre and periphery in imagining their world and came instead to view it as an interconnected network of cosmopolitan people and places. English language and literature were promoted as essential components of a commercial, cultural, and linguistic network that spanned the globe. John Marx argues that the early twentieth century was a key moment in the em…

  • Architecture and the Internet

    Open AccessYehuda E Kalay, Josef Marx et al.ARTICLEFirst Monday2005

    Cyberspace, as the information space is called, has become accessible in the past decade through the World Wide Web. And although it can only be experienced through the mediation of computers, it is quickly becoming an alternative stage for everyday economic, cultural, and other human activities. As such, there is a potential and a need to design it according to place–like principles. Making places for human inhabitation is, of course, what archi…

    Christopher Keane, Josef Marx et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2003References: 5

    We appreciate Pierce’s and Blackburn’s comment on our article and share their interest in evaluating the effects of privatizing services formerly provided by local health departments.1 A few resources are available, including a workbook that the National Association of County and City Health Officials designed to help local health departments examine their role in the provision of clinical services.2 Also, we recently completed a study of privati…

  • Managerial and Professional Beliefs Influencing Public Health Privatization

    Christopher Keane, Josef Marx et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…2003Cited by: 1

    This article describes managerial and professional beliefs underlying decisions to privatize public health services. We drew a stratified, nationally representative sample of local health departments and interviewed 347 department directors by telephone. We used logistic regression to establish the independent effects of various beliefs on the decision to privatize. Over half of directors did not believe that there was valid evidence that privati…

  • Services Privatized in Local Health Departments

    Christopher Keane, Josef Marx et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2002Cited by: 5References: 9

    Privatization of public health is seemingly an oxymoron. Functions such as environmental regulation and communicable disease control would seem to be the unique purview of governmental public health departments. These services constitute public goods in that they affect entire communities, whereas personal health services are private goods, privately consumed by individuals.1 Recent pressures such as the penetration of managed care has led to shi…

  • The Perceived Impact of Privatization on Local Health Departments

    Christopher Keane, Josef Marx et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2002Cited by: 4References: 4

    Objectives. This article presents nationally representative data on the effects of privatization on local health departments (LHDs). Methods. A stratified representative national sample of 380 LHDs was drawn from a national list of 2488 departments. Telephone interviews were conducted with 347 LHD directors. Results. One half of the directors of LHDs with privatized services reported that privatization helped the performance of core functions. Pr…

    Burkart Holzner, Evelyn M Fisher et al.ARTICLESociological Focus1977Cited by: 1References: 8

    The death of Paul Lazarsfeld during the 1976 ASA convention saddened all sociologists. In this paper, three of Lazarsfeld's colleagues at The University of Pittsburgh attempt to put the entire corpus of his works on the sociology of knowledge and communication into perspective, with special reference to his recent work (with Jeffrey G. Reitz, in collaboration with Ann K. Pasanella), An Introduction to Applied Sociology (Elesvier, 1976). They argu…

  • Ideological Primary Groups in Contemporary Cultural Movements

    Josef Marx, John H Marx et al.ARTICLESociological Focus1975Cited by: 1References: 15

    This paper argues that “post-modern” societies generate movements for cultural change in models “of” and “for” identity and consciousness, rather than traditional kinds of social movements aiming at structural changes in institutional arrangements. The distinctive and crucial unit in comtemporary cultural movements is what we have termed the “ideological group.” These groups are similar to the “ideological informal groups” which recruited members…

  • Crossroads of Crisis

    Josef Marx, John H Marx et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…1973Cited by: 2

    The convergence of a number of distinct intellectual and traditions in the mental health field has produced a conception of non-professional, quasi-therapeutic communities that profoundly influences contemparary communes. One of these traditions started with Freudian psychoanalytic theory and the dynamic, individually-oriented psychotherapies built upon it. A second, initially-independent tradition that influences the contemporary situation is th…

    This study examines the relative influence of social-class status and religio-cultural values on psychotherapeutic relationships between psychiatrists and clinical psychologists and their private patients. Questionnaire survey data on professional therapists in the Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago metropolitan communities are used to re-assess the underlying bases of the homophilic hypothesis that Kandel (1966) and recently Rowden et al. (1970)…
