Ways out of the Void? Postcolonial and Decolonial Theories in Relation to Armenia and Armenianness
The application of postcolonial theory to former Soviet socialist republics is much debated. For Tlostanova (2012) , Western theorizations of colonialism consign former Soviet socialist republics, including Armenia, to an undifferentiated void, not fully part of the Global North or South. Spivak's (2008) discussion of the Armenian case highlights the inability of conceptualizations of colonialism focused on the nation-state to account for the imp…
Imaginaries of Abya Yala
This article argues that multimodal semiotics can provide an analytical lens to critically understand recent film and media production by Indigenous people and communities in southern and central Abya Yala (or Latin America). It suggests precise ways to analyse this film and media production as the emergence of alternative public or ‘counter-public’ spaces that allow for the expression of ‘emergent’ forms of Indigeneity that contest dominant mode…
The writing of existence in the latest work of Alberto Moreiras
This article approaches the latest work of Alberto Moreiras on infrapolitics as self-conscious acts of writing which thinks its own conditions, or its own contingent textual inscription. In this sense, I propose that we can read this work as being informed by a question, even a preoccupation, over what form or style of writing is appropriate to announce or re-veal the existential dimensions proposed by the notion of infrapolitics. In exploring th…
Unsettling the language of settlement
This article seeks to bring into question some of the assumptions that lie behind what constitutes ‘settlement’ in settler colonial theory by focusing on the case of the recent history of Indigenous mobilisations in Bolivia. The first part of the article discusses two of the defining features which have characterised settler colonialism as a specific type of colonialism in the literature: the transformation of the land and the settler-native bina…
Representation and Inequality in Late Nineteenth-Century America
Political observers have been entertained—or appalled—by recent reapportionment battles, such as the story of the Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives who departed for Oklahoma to deny Republicans a quorum and prevent their redrawing of congressional districts to their liking. Clearly, since Baker v. Carr (1962) and Reynolds v. Sims (1964) the federal courts have overcome their traditional shyness about overturning the most ba…

Spatial Outcomes of Capital Restructuring
This article considers the spatial outcomes of post-Fordist economic developments with particular reference to the flexible specialisation models of the ‘new industrial spaces’. It is argued that greater consideration must be given to the claimed role of these new industrial spaces in developing theory. Furthermore, the concept of transaction costs, which is located at the centre of such theories, must be treated with caution. A more profitable a…
Obdurate Brilliance
Working from a broad knowledge of modern poetry, Baker proposes an original interpretation of the long poem based on the notion of exteriority. Readers of the 20th-century long poem must discard the traditional idea of a lyric speaker, or Romantic I, he argues. Modern and postmodern poetry turns outward, toward the experience of others, and deliberately de-emphasizes an inner or personal life. His analysis, informed by postmodern literary theory,…

The Terrorist as Interpreter
The Terrorist as Interpreter: Mao II in Postmodern Context Peter Baker Through the issues it raises, the kind of writing style it employs, and coming as it does in a series of other novels by Don DeLillo, Mao II demands to be treated seriously in the context of postmodern work and theory. Rather than spend time developing that theory explicitly, hooking in to the arguments presented by, say, Fredric Jameson and Jean-Francois Lyotard, Brian McHale…

Production restructuring in the textiles and clothing industries
This article analyses the processes of restructuring in the textiles and clothing industries in a locality. Particular attention here is focused on new technology, labour flexibility, sub‐contracting patterns and skill factors. The extent to which the process of restructuring involves a conscious and deliberate move to new patterns of work organization is considered

Byrhtferth's Enchiridion and the computus in Oxford, St John's College 17
More than fifty years after its first appearance in print, Byrhtferth's Manual , or Enchiridion as he called it himself, is among the most puzzling texts of the Old English prose corpus. Its obscurity is due partly to its unglamorous subject matter – mathematics (computus) and the calendar – but more, perhaps, to its apparently bewildering organization. Humfrey Wanley called it an ‘opus miscellaneum’, Richard Wülker described it as ‘auβerordentli…
