Demosthenes 21 ( Against Meidias ): Democratic abuse
The title given to speech number twenty-one of Demosthenes at some time in antiquity, although surely not by Demosthenes himself, is ΚΑΤΑ ΜΕΙΔΙΟΥ ΠΕΡΙ ΤΟΥ ΚΟΝΔΥΛΟΥ –‘ Against Meidias, concerning the punch ’. This refers of course to the punch on the cheek which Demosthenes received from Meidias in the very orchestra of the theatre of Dionysos at Athens on the day of the competition in the men's dithyramb, in which Demosthenes was chorēgos for his…

Bargaining power and location as factors in the determination of site values
Wilson P. J. (1978) Bargaining power and location as factors in the determination of site values, Reg. Studies 12, 21–47. The Alonso model of rent determination primarily provides a benchmark—a perfect state so to speak—against which deviations in a land value pattern may be compared. The literature to date has been largely concerned with those spatial features of an environment which may lead to a deviation from an ‘ideal’ pattern. The present p…

Filcher of Good Names: An Enquiry Into Anrhropology and Gossip
Peter J. Wilson's article, "Filcher of Good Names: An Enquiry Into Anthropology and Gossip," explores the anthropological significance of gossip. He argues against the prevailing view of gossip as frivolous chatter, instead positioning it as a crucial mechanism for social control and the maintenance of moral order within communities. Wilson draws on anthropological fieldwork and examples to demonstrate how gossip functions as a form of informal s…

Reputation and Respectability: A Suggestion for Caribbean Ethnology
Peter J. Wilson's article, "Reputation and Respectability: A Suggestion for Caribbean Ethnology," published in *Man* in 1969, proposes a framework for understanding social dynamics in the Caribbean through the lens of reputation and respectability. Wilson argues that these two concepts, often viewed as synonymous, represent distinct yet intertwined values that shape individual behavior and social stratification. Reputation, he suggests, is earned…
