Engineering Robots with Heart in Japan
Japanese narratives of artificial intelligence (AI) and robots have long been characterized as the cultural antithesis to their anglophone counterparts. According to this model, whereas in the West intelligent machines signify a threat to humanity, in Japan machines are partners to humans. Such shorthand cultural distinctions circulating in anglophone imaginaries can feed back into robotics design practices in Japan. This phenomenon is especially…
“A Magic Beyond All We Do Here”
This article analyses the use of music and sound at four distinct attractions related to the Harry Potter franchise. As extensions of a transmedial world derived in large part from the film series as well as the novels, each of these tour sites uses music and sound in distinct ways, drawing on or extending the musical worlds of the films, or creating worlds of their own. A close analysis of these musical worlds gives us a deeper understanding of …
One Does Not Simply Walk into Mordor
The opening sequences of narrative films are perhaps the most important moments for establishing a coherent film-world and drawing a viewer into a space and time often quite different from their own, and yet these moments remain largely untheorised within film studies and film music theory in particular. This article analyses the uses of music and sound in the opening sequences of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth trilogies: The Lord of the Rings (200…
“Zig Zag sublimity“
In the early nineteenth century, a vocal minority of Britons, East Indians, and elite Indians educated in English publically asserted a novel “Indian” culture in favor of free trade, greater autonomy from London, liberty of the press, and polyglot education. The period under consideration overlapped with the early years of the so-called Bengal Renaissance and saw protonationalist articulations of self-determination for Indian governance and cultu…

Pragmatism vs. Postmodernism
Management of a Large Qualitative Data Set
Health services research is multifaceted and impacted by the multiple contexts and stakeholders involved. Hence, large data sets are necessary to fully understand the complex phenomena (e.g., scope of nursing practice) being studied. The management of these large data sets can lead to numerous challenges in establishing trustworthiness of the study. This article reports on strategies utilized in data collection and analysis of a large qualitative…

The Mind's New Architecture
Siegecraft and spoliation, c. 500 BC
At some date shortly after the Persian conquest of Egypt (525 BC) a Persian army dispatched by the satrap of Egypt, Aryandes, was encamped on the Lykaian Hill outside the city of Cyrene, threatening its capture. How far hostilities had advanced is not known, but very soon the army abandoned its position and marched off on the return way to Egypt (Herodotus IV, 16–67, 200–203). Herodotus' account is an involved story how the Persian force came to …
Nietzsche, Aesthetics, and Modernity
Rampley's Nietzsche, Aesthetics, and Modernity offers a valuable understanding of Nietzsche's Will to Power as the Will to Form and of the Overman as an artist inspired by the sublime who has overcome the reactive mentality of cultural pessimism by means of "active nihilism." Rampley argues that Nietzsche is a post metaphysical dialectician, building an aesthetic practice based on the productive play of transfigurative immanence that makes and af…
Apollonia's East Fort and the Strategic Deployment of Cut-Down Bedrock for Defensive Walls
Apollonia's East Fort, set on a promontory overlooking the sea east of the walled town, is part of a series of outlying fortresses guarding access to the port and Cyrene. Excavated by the University of Michigan in 1967, the fort is dated by coins and pottery to the second half of the fourth or first quarter of the third century BC. A striking design feature is its use of cut-down bedrock for the lower wall levels. The same technique is employed f…
The Pennsylvania University Museum's Demeter and Persephone Sanctuary Project at Cyrene
Trigeminated at more or less the same time as the First of September Revolution and the appearance of the first published report from The Society for Libyan Studies, the excavation phase of the extramural Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone project at Cyrene ran until 1978 when it was stopped in order to begin work on final publication. The intervening years have seen a degree of progress, and this retrospective vicenary issue of Libyan Studies p…
