The Ricardian State: Carlos Calvo and Latin America’s Ambivalent Origin Story for the Age of Decolonization
This article explores Latin America’s place in discussions about decolonization through the work of the Argentine international lawyer Carlos Calvo. It argues that while Calvo was an early proponent of Latin American sovereignty and a subtle critic of European empires, he worked within a framework that differed remarkably from that of post-World War II decolonization struggles. Most notably, Calvo’s defense of Latin American sovereignty was roote…
The knowing mother: Maternal knowledge and the reinforcement of the feminine consuming subject in magazine advertisements
The caring mother is one of the most recurring images of femininity in post-war advertising. We examine how mothers are depicted as knowing consumers in advertisements in Australian Women’s Weekly and the United Kingdom’s Good Housekeeping magazines between 1950 and 2010. Our data suggest that although visual representations of maternal consumer knowledge change over this period, assumptions about the responsibilities of mothers endure in the fam…
The tragedy of Americanist diplomacy: Pan-American networks and the consolidation of empire, 1910–1917
Nonplace
Nonplace is defined by Augé in relation to “place,” as a space that does not have any historical, affective, or identity‐creating potential. It displays characteristics of extreme mobility, of excessive images, and of solitary individuality where everyone is at once at home and alone in the crowd. It is created under conditions of supermodernity and is a space of flows and of transition
Wealth, Whiteness, and the Matrix of Privilege: The View from the Country Club By Jessica Holden Sherwood Lexington Books. 2010. 188 pages. $60.00 cloth
Through 45 in-depth interviews with elite country club members located in the northeastern United States, Jessica Holden Sherwood provides an interesting glimpse into the privileged and enclosed world of the upper class and elite White Anglo Saxon Protestants (WASPs). Contrary to the popular notion that private country clubs are social institutions dedicated to the leisure activities of the upper and elite classes, Sherwood exposes them as import…

Fostering a hunger for health: Food and the self in 'The Australian Women's Weekly
Over the past decade consumers in Australia and elsewhere have increasingly been confronted with a fast growing number of health food products. This profusion of health foods is accompanied by a proliferation in popular culture of professional nutritional advice on what is 'good to eat'. The genre of lifestyle magazines is one popular medium via which healthy practices and health foods are frequently reported. In this paper we use a visual discou…
Third Spaces or Heterotopias? Recreating and Negotiating Migrant Identity Using Online Spaces
A cyberethnographic (Robinson and Shulz, 2009) study of one friendship group reunited online after 20 years is presented.This study follows a group of eight migrant and non-migrant women living over three continents (four countries).The study uses data gathered over a period of one year from the archives of one 'e-group'. Beginning with the notion of Babha's (1994) 'third space' and cultural hybridity, the study examines the interactions of these…
Advertising food in Australia: Between antinomies and gastro-anomy
Over the past half century, consumers in Australia have increasingly been confronted with a plethora of health food products. This paper focuses on health food that encourages consumption through the promise of health benefits. In this context, media representation of such food serves as a lens to explore the spread of consumer culture in Australia. Using a historical perspective, this paper asserts that in promoting such foods, food "experts" fo…
Mirrored histories: Consumption and work in the Asia Pacific

Late Pleistocene-Holocene Buried Valleys in the Cork Syncline, Ireland
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. The accompanying map and cross-sections outline the disposition of fluvioglacial deposits infilling two buried valleys, the Northern and Southern Buried Valleys, which occupy the margins of the E-W Cork Syncline in southwest Ireland. These buried valleys formed during the Pleistocene, probably in response to repeated lowstands in sea level which was in excess of about 130 m. Wate…
Creating Diderot unities – quest for possible selves?
This paper tries to draw links between the creation of new Diderot unities (products consumed in a group and that have an internal consistency based on lifestyle) with “impulse purchases” as key departure products. A study, using exploratory in‐depth interviews, is reported. Common themes are drawn from the interviews to serve as possible identifying elements of the phenomenon. Emotive and cognitive themes are identified and are offered as a star…
