Critical theory and social pathology
Critical theory once offered a powerful, distinctive approach to social research, enabling sociologists to diagnose the irrationalities of the social world across institutions and forms of thought, even within the subject’s deepest desires. Yet, with the work of Axel Honneth, such analytical potency has been lost. The ‘domestication’ of critical theory stems from the programme’s embrace of Honneth’s ‘recognition-cognitivist’ understanding of soci…
Stillleben With Symbionts
‘STILLLEBEN. Becoming Symbionts’ proposes to value milk and its microbial constituents as primordial assets and currencies - along with cells, sperm, blood, water, and oxygen. The latest scientific research, which has suggested that there is an intimate unseen interplay between mothers and their babies via the transfer of breast milk and microbes, which actually increases the value of the currency with each exchange. The co-operation of Irini Ath…

The Palgrave Handbook of Anarchism
This handbook unites leading scholars from around the world in exploring anarchism as a political ideology, from an examination of its core principles, an analysis of its history, and an assessment of its contribution to the struggles that face humanity today. Grounded in a conceptual and historical approach, each entry charts what is distinctive about the anarchist response to particular intellectual, political, cultural and social phenomena, an…
Rejecting ‘all the faces of subjugation
This article examines the ideas of French writer and revolutionary Daniel Guérin (1904–88), focussing on his conception of democracy. It argues that Guérin’s thinking developed from the ‘macro-social’ to the ‘micro-social’ as his ideological perspective changed. In the 1940s and 50s, Guérin’s unorthodox Marxist approach to the historiography of the French Revolution and his adoption of a Kropotkinian emphasis on the grassroots democracy of the sa…

Machine Code
Machine code is the basic level of machinic description that is directly executable by a computer. It is stored internally in the computer, in the form of binary code with a specific numerical value. Machine code is the level at which the instructions that are executed by a computer are directly transferred to its processor and actuated. It is very rare for programmers to write in machine code directly; instead a programmer works at the level of …
Encryption and Cryptography
Cryptography is a very old science of studying and using means of encryption or encoding to hide or obscure the meaning of a message that is being communicated, so as to prevent its reading by an unintended recipient. Until the 1970s, encryption was only employed in specific circumstances, usually for military or diplomatic messages. Today, cryptography has moved out of this limited sphere, and is now widely taught and practiced, both by corporat…
Anarchists and anarchisms in France since 1945
2The same period has also seen many unpublished postgraduate dissertations and theses on various aspects of French anarchism, the most important of which is doubtless the late Ren Bianco's 1988 study of the worldwide French-language anarchist press from 1880 to 1983, which is an essential research tool. 3But, apart from Biard's (1976) unevenly researched general history of the movement from 1945 to 1975, published studies have tended to be focuse…
Memory in Motion
How do new media affect the question of social memory? Social memory is usually described as enacted through ritual, language, art, architecture, and institutions ? phenomena whose persistence over time and capacity for a shared storage of the past was set in contrast to fleeting individual memory. But the question of how social memory should be understood in an age of digital computing, instant updating, and interconnection in real time, is very…
A critique of neo-mercantilist analyses of Icelandic political economy and crisis
Iceland's journey from rags to riches in the 20th century is related, in the dominant discourse, to its gaining independence in 1944. This discourse played a significant role in both the legitimation of the finance-dominated growth model in the 1990s and 2000s and in the latter's defence as it came under scrutiny before its collapse in October 2008. It is therefore ironic - or perhaps, in some sense, logical - to find dominant analyses of the cri…
Metamorphosis
This article explores the early years of Daniel Guérin (1904–88), who from the 1930s onwards became known as a leading revolutionary socialist and campaigner for decolonisation, antimilitarism and homosexual liberation. It examines the ‘making of Daniel Guérin’ in two senses: (i) his transformation from a son of the grande bourgeoisie into a workerist revolutionary and anti-imperialist; and (ii) Guérin's own retrospective representation of his ea…

Change the World Without Taking Power? The Libertarian Communist Tradition in France Today
This paper assesses the contribution to the ideological and practical renewal of the left in contemporary France made by libertarian communism, notably the organization ‘Alternative Libertaire’ (AL, created in 1991). It first examines the development of this tradition out of: (i) tendencies within the anarchist-communist movement; (ii) certain critical Marxist currents. It goes on to analyse the ideology and practice of AL and discerns a number o…
The South Wales Argus and Cultural Representations of Gwent
The local/regional press in the United Kingdom is so often overlooked as a subject matter in which to study representation and cultural production, which are normally the preserve of national and/or global media contexts. With this in mind this paper critically engages and assesses how the South Wales Argus, a local/regional newspaper in Wales, reproduces the idea of Gwent through the production of cultural representations in local news discourse…

Therefore, coaches, dentists, and healthcare providers should engage in more preventive educational programs to increase player attitudes and compliance

Microwards at postcode level
Much has been made of declining turnout in elections. This is due to a number of factors, and several remedies have been proposed. Voting behaviour seems to depend largely on socioeconomic factors. Partly due to the inordinate expense of household‐level statistics, however, little is known of the demographic breakdown of voting and non‐voting. An effective way of overcoming this would be to crudely estimate the demographics involved by allocating…
Internet research
This paper examines some of the ethical problems involved in undertaking Internet research and draws on historical accounts as well as contemporary studies to offer an analysis of the issues raised. It argues that privacy is a misleading and confusing concept to apply to the Internet, and that the concept of non‐alienation is more resourceful in addressing the many ethical issues surrounding Internet research. Using this as a basis, the paper the…

Fascism or Revolution!’ Anarchism and Antifascism in France, 1933–39
French anarchists were careful to distinguish between the Popular Front's leaders - the politicians - and its working-class supporters. They enthused over ‘the fraternity, the solidarity and the strength of the working class’ manifested in the extra-parliamentary antifascist movement of 1934–35. They took an active, and in some respects a leading part, in that movement. This article assesses the French anarchists' contribution to the antifascist …

A Note on the Theory of Income Redistribution
With the increasing interest in problems of the welfare state in recent years, economists have been led to consider whether some forms of subsidisation may not be better, in some sense, than others. For instance, it has been held by some of them that direct subsidisation is better than indirect subsidisation because the former interferes less with the allocation of resources.' It is the purpose of this note to test these conclusions under differe…

The Concept of Justice in Regional Planning
Contemporary planning issues often involve a number of parties whose interests or objectives conflict. Equitable resolution of such conflicts requires that consideration be given to the distribution of losses that are implicit in alternative planning decisions. In this article the concept of fairness is explored as a strategy for formulating decisions according to their distributional aspects. Three major elements of conflict situations are given…

Preservation of Open Space and the Concept of Value
This paper identifies and classifies six major kinds of values which people ascribe to areas of open space (utility, functional, contemplative, aesthetic, recreational, and ecological values), whether the open space is public or private, urban or rural, or large or small. These values are predominantly culturally-shaped attitudes. They are not mutually exclusive but nonetheless cannot be subsumed under just one notion of value such as trade-offs …

The French and Spanish Popular Fronts
The menace of triumphant Nazism and fascism across Europe in the 1930s drove the left into unity with liberals, in order to make common cause against the extremist right. Popular Front initiatives were a significant attempt to bar the way to further fascist victories. This collection of essays focuses specifically on France and Spain as the only two countries where Popular Front coalitions won political power through the ballot box. From a compar…

Conflicts Between Minority Women and Traditional Structures
International feminists are divided over how to deal with discrimination perpetuated against women by traditional cultures and systems of governance. These spheres cannot be viewed as simple tools of patriarchy. In order to confront such issues, inno vative strategies are needed, and this article offers a new 'expanded integrationist' approach. It applies this approach to the conflicts between the rights of aboriginal women and the suggested form…
