Daniel Defoe and the Law of the Sea
This essay ties together some key elements of a maritime existence – indulgence, mercy, pretence, prerogative, plunder, homicide – and contrasts them with the growing importance among commercial societies of contract, justice, rights, the legal alienation of goods, and the punishment of those who take what is not theirs. And then it measures Defoe’s adherence on the one side to what amounts to a state of war, and on the other to a state of civil …
Modeling Rapidly Composable, Heterogeneous, and Fractionated Forces: Findings on Mosaic Warfare from an Agent-Based Model
Mosaic warfare is named for the idea of creating a complex image from small pieces. This report studies Mosaic warfare and explores three dimensions of variability: (1) fractionation of capabilities from large multicapability platforms onto multiple smaller ones; (2) employment of heterogenous mixes of capabilities throughout a battlespace; and (3) rapid composition of a set of needed capabilities in a time and place to accomplish a mission
Fiction and Fakements in Colonial Australia
The imaginations of convicts in Australia became attuned to the pairing of opposites and this led to strange tensions in their way of representing things. On Norfolk Island the meanings of words were reversed, so that ‘good’ meant ‘bad’ and ‘ugly’ meant ‘beautiful’. This undermining of official meanings produced the argot called the ‘flash’ or ‘kiddy’ language of the colony. Designed at first to keep private sentiments from being inspected, it ev…
Romance, Satire, and the Exploitation of Disorder
This chapter follows Swift’s hint that our best ideas are inevitably adjacent to, or productive of, the worst: goodness is girdled by corruption, wit by madness, novelty by repetition. In satire this state of affairs is a cause for alarm, indignation, and reproof; in romance it is proof of glory excessive to all norms. The potential frenzy of the satirist is controlled by irony; the moral and historical disorder of romance is tempered by ritual a…
Asset-Based Community Development: Narratives, Practice, and Conditions of Possibility-A Qualitative Study With Community Practitioners
Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) is seen as a way of tackling the social determinants of health and reducing health inequalities. However, a better understanding of the mechanisms through which ABCD operates, and the environmental and relational conditions within which it is likely to be most effective, could increase its effectiveness at improving health and well-being and reducing inequalities. Interviews and focus groups were conducted…
Australia
This chapter focuses on the settlement of Australia, a notable example of a landfall that provided none of voluptuous satisfactions generally associated with the Indian Ocean or the South Seas, although many of those coming ashore were scurvied, especially after the arrival of the second fleet. As a joint experiment in penology and colonization, it was utterly novel, being as far from England as it was possible to get and consisting of unreconnoi…

What is Asset-Based Community Development and How Might It Improve the Health of People With Long-Term Conditions? A Realist Synthesis
Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) appears to be a promising way to supporting people with long-term health problems but there is currently a lack of evidence to support this approach. Taking a realist approach, a review and concept-mapping exercise of ABCD approaches to improve health were conducted with a view to providing a better understanding about these approaches, how they work, and who they work for. Totally, 29 papers were deemed r…
Cook-Voyage Collections of ‘Artificial Curiosities’ in Britain and Ireland, 1771–2015Endeavouring Banks. Exploring collections from the Endeavour voyage 1768–1771
James Cook set sail for the Pacific Ocean in 1768 on a three-year voyage of discovery. Here are two books paving the way towards the 250th anniversary of his departure when at least two major exhibitions are planned to celebrate it, in which the emphases are likely to fall (as they do here) on the collections of artificial curiosities rather than the natural specimens. Then as now, the public appetite for exotic artefacts outstripped any general …
Voyages and Beaches: Pacific Encounters, 1769-1840
What actually happened as Europeans and peoples of the Pacific discovered each other? How have their respective senses of the past influenced their understanding of the present? And what are the consequences of their meeting? In this collection of essays, scholars from European, Polynesian, and Settler backgrounds provide answers to these questions. Writing from, and between, a variety of disciplines (history, anthropology, Maori Studies, literar…

Community Engagement in a complex intervention to improve access to primary mental health care for hard‐to‐reach groups
BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of effective evidence-based treatments for depression and anxiety, many 'harder-to-reach' social and patient groups experience difficulties accessing treatment. We developed a complex intervention, the AMP (Improving Access to Mental Health in Primary Care) programme, which combined community engagement (CE), tailored (individual and group) psychosocial interventions and primary care involvement. OBJECTIVES: T…

Scorbutic nostalgia
Scurvy was a nutritional disease with many unpleasant physical symptoms, but it was attended by some unusual accompaniments in the sensory apparatus and in the emotions. These were specified by Thomas Trotter in the 1790s and included an over-stimulated imagination focused on images of food and home, capable of inducing fits of ecstatic pleasure and dismay. Joseph Banks called this excitement ‘nostalgia’, actually suffering from it in the Arafura…

Access to mental health in primary care: A qualitative meta-synthesis of evidence from the experience of people from 'hard to reach' groups
Knowledge about depression, access and help-seeking has increasingly been influenced from a range of disciplines including clinical and applied social science. A range of interventions can improve outcomes of depression and anxiety. However, many in need do not seek help, or their interaction with care-givers does not address their needs. We carried out a systematic search for qualitative articles focusing on the experiences of eight exemplar gro…
Introduction to Settlers, Creoles and Historical Reenactment
Historical reenactment begins with the assumption that history can be managed: it can be framed, reproduced, brought closer, and it can be made part of our human experience again, in a reassuring way. In the process it will become not only more vivid, but also more intelligible and shapely. The past shall be made more intimately part of the present, and because it comes so close we shall get to know history as it really is. The emphasis on realis…

The Comic Sublime and Sterne's Fiction
bombast in his Pern Bathous, while Johnson was forced accept the public's judgment against his Irene. Historical, political and social developments sapped the confidence and removed the subject matter necessary for the production of epic or tragic works and presented instead scenes of complicated insincerity which the appropriate literary response was, ironically, the calculated improprieties of mock-epic and burlesque. The deliberate mismatching…
Hartley and Wordsworth: Philosophical Language and Figures of the Sublime
is little agreement among scholars about the size and the nature of Wordsworth's debt to Hartley, resulting partly from Wordsworth's own reticence about it and partly from Coleridge's influential anti-associationist theories of poetic creativity which have sometimes obscured the native elements of English Romanticism. In a recent republication of Observations on Man, Theodore Huguelet notices the tantalizing indications of Hartley's influence on …
The Job Controversy, Sterne, and the Question of Allegory
THE FIERCE DEBATE about the right way to read the book of Job, which was under way fifteen years before Steme began Tristram Shandy and was briskly pursued all the time he was writing and publishing it, is generally acknowledged to have influenced the way he planned and executed his novel. The hints dropped by himself and the literary gossipmongers point to some sort of allegory linking scenes in the Shandy parlour to the disagreements over Job, …
Sterne's Fiction and the Double Principle
The Rhetoric of Suffering: Reading the book of Job in the eighteenth century
The Rhetoric of Suffering draws on the Book of Job as a touchstone for the contradictions and polemics that infect various eighteenth-century works - poetry, philosophy, political oratory, accounts of exploration, commentaries on criminal law - which tried to account for the relations between human suffering and systems of secular and divine justice. Far from crystallizing or objectifying the issue of complaint, the Book of Job seems to restore i…
