  • The Other Missa Prolationum

    William WatsonARTICLEJournal of Musicology2020

    Johannes Ockeghem’s Missa Prolationum is a well-known specimen of fifteenth-century notational complexity. As it is notated in the Chigi Codex, it consists entirely of mensuration canons. However, the other complete manuscript copy of the piece, in the manuscript Vienna 11883, eschews this complexity in favor of resolved notations (resolutiones) with uniform mensurations. Reexamining these resolutiones in light of generic mensural norms, statisti…

  • Gaming the Performance: Massively Multiplayer Online Games and Performance Outcomes in English and Business Courses

    Open AccessPapia Bawa, Sunnie Lee Watson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Virtual Worlds Research2018

    The push for technology integration in classrooms calls for examinations of available options, particularly those that have not yet been used to their full potential for various reasons. One such technology is digital commercial games which, though designed for entertainment, may have potential educational benefits. Although there have been several discussions in the literature about the possibilities of such commercial video games as educational…

  • Early cereal cultivation in China

    William WatsonCHAPTERDomestication and Exploitation of…2017

    The wide distribution in China of characteristic flat stone knives, pierced or notched for hafting and often abraded, is taken as evidence of grain harvesting or on sites where grain has been recovered, the inference appears sound. As there is no absolute or even developed relative chronology for the neolithic period in China it is only possible to make broad distinctions in the early history of cereal cultivation. The skeletal characteristics fa…

  • Early cereal cultivation in China

    William WatsonCHAPTERDomestication and Exploitation of…2017

    The cereals identified in China in neolithic contexts are millet, rice and wheat. Cultivation on the deep primary loess requires a cereal able to stand long rainless periods, and the millet which was the staple of the Yang Shao farmers meets this requirement admirably. Neolithic rice is reported only from places in the eastern part of the Yangtze basin in the well-watered region of southern soil and climate, in each case in a context of local Lun…

  • Memo to Prime Minister Paul Martin

    Open AccessWilliam WatsonARTICLEInternational Journal Canada s…2003

    It is presumptuous, sir, to offer advice to someone who has been as intimately involved in the making of international economic policy as you have been over the last decade and who knows more about it than any of the 1 9 men and one woman who preceded you in the office you are about to hold. But advice has been requested and so advice is forthcoming. The approach you take to international economic policy depends on the approach you take to being …

  • Globalization and the Meaning of Canadian Life

    William Watson, William W WatsonBOOKGlobalization and the Meaning of…1998

    Globalization is not new: Canadians have some 400 years' experience of being dependent on economic events in other countries. Watson shows that economic integration leaves room for considerable diversity in national economics and social policies

  • Psychiatry as craft

    Open AccessWilliam WatsonARTICLEHistory of Psychiatry1998

    A number of essays published in History of Psychiatry are examined which concern the general character of the historiography of psychiatry, and the professional relations between psychiatrist-historians and professional historians. An alternative is offered to the various positions advanced in these essays in which psychiatry is understood as a 'craft'. This conception draws attention to ways in which psychiatric theory is acquired through clinic…

  • The Arts of China to AD 900

    Thomas Lawton, William WatsonARTICLEArtibus Asiae1996

    This work is the first in a three volume series that surveys China's wealth of art, architecture and artefacts from prehistoric times to the 20th century. It investigates the beginnings of the traditions on which much of the art rests, moving from Neolithic and Bronze Age China to the era of the Tang Dynasty around AD 900. The book discusses in detail a wide range of art forms and techniques: porcelain and pottery, lacquer art, religious and secu…

  • Strategy, Rationality and Inference: The Possibility of Symbolic Performances

    Open AccessWilliam WatsonARTICLESociology1990Cited by: 5References: 5

    Crow's recent article concerning strategy assimilates the concept almost entirely to the more or less rational (Crow 1989). Beginning with an example of a strategy taken from Weber, an argument is advanced suggesting that this suppresses important forms of 'inference' that may be typical elements in the production of strategies. Specifically, these concern symbolic or figurative relations that can be held to obtain between a strategy and the ends…

  • Textile Decoration in the Edo Period and its Further Implication

    Open AccessWilliam WatsonARTICLEModern Asian Studies1984

    As compared with earlier times the emergence of period style in any sense of a unified concept during the Edo period is obscured for the historian by unprecedented factors: the new multiplication of figural and narrative subjects in painting, the predominance of new class interests and patronage, the dissemination of printed pattern books, the suddenly expanded commerce and industry of decorative art in its many branches. Viewed from outside ofja…

  • Iran and China

    Open AccessWilliam WatsonCHAPTERThe Cambridge History of Iran1983

    By the middle of the first millennium BC, the combination of nomadic pastoralism and Scythic culture reigned from south Russia and the north-eastern provinces of Iranian settlement to northern China. The secret of silk is said to have been closely guarded by the Chinese. The exact date of its communication to Iran is not certain, but it cannot have been long after AD 419, if the story of a Chinese princess who smuggled the silkworm into Khotan in…
