Picturing Novembrists in Paris
This essay examines a print series called Les Polonais et les Polonaises de la Révolution du 29 Novembre, 1830, a collection of just under one-hundred lithographic portraits of individuals involved in the November Uprising of 1830–1831. It was produced and authored by Józef Straszewicz (1801–1838), a revolutionary turned émigré publisher and art dealer in Paris. Serialized between 1832 and 1837, the project was described as a “Historical Gallery …
The ‘Autographic Self’: Facsimile Signatures and Lithographic Portraiture at the Crossroads of Liberalism, Romanticism and Nationalism, c. 1800–60
This article traces the cultural history of a portrait format popularised through the global expansion of lithographic printing. This format combined a traditional portrait vignette with a lithographic facsimile of the sitter’s signature. Such ‘facsimile-autographed’ portraits evoked the notion that sitters had physically signed their own likenesses – testifying not only to the veracity of the depiction, but displaying an indexical trace of embod…
What Do Palliative Care Professionals Understand as Spiritual Care? Findings from an Eapc Survey
From its inception palliative care has been understood as addressing four dimensions: physical, social, emotional/psychological, and spiritual/religious. However, the spiritual and/or religious element is poorly understood and under-researched, and little is known about palliative care professionals' understandings of spiritual care, or how they seek to implement spiritual care in practice. Members of the European Association of Palliative Care (…
Colesworthy Grant's Portraits of Colonial Society in India: Lithography, Liberalism, and the Global Making of Middle‐Class Culture, c . 1833–57
This essay explores how lithographic printing connected colonial society in India to global developments in the making of middle‐class culture. It focuses on two print portrait series that the artist Colesworthy Grant (1813–80) released in illustrated periodicals: Lithographic Sketches of the Public Characters of Calcutta ; and A Series of Miscellaneous Rough Sketches of Oriental Heads . The former defined white society in Bengal according to a m…
International validation of the EORTC CAT Core: A new adaptive instrument for measuring core quality of life domains in cancer
The Gilley 'debate
I suggest that the recent furore over Gilley's article on colonialism raises at least three distinct issues both within academia and the wider space of public debate. The first concerns the category of 'offence', who can be offended and by what. The second concerns the nature of colonialism, its contemporary understanding and why that remains politically controversial. The third concerns possible continuities between certain aspects of colonial r…
Recent Trends in Deep Learning Based Natural Language Processing [Review Article]
Deep learning methods employ multiple processing layers to learn hierarchical representations of data, and have produced state-of-the-art results in many domains. Recently, a variety of model designs and methods have blossomed in the context of natural language processing (NLP). In this paper, we review significant deep learning related models and methods that have been employed for numerous NLP tasks and provide a walk-through of their evolution…

Civil Society and the Liberal Project in Ghana and Sierra Leone
This article examines the policies and practices of Western states and development agencies in their support of civil society in two cases: Ghana and Sierra Leone. While rather different, these cases illustrate well the typical forms of interventions that target civil society. The article argues that donor discourse about the role of civil society in the construction of good governance replicates the arguments typically found in liberal theory, a…

Governance, the World Bank and Liberal Theory
We examine the recent debates about governance, focusing particularly on the World Bank and identify certain factors which have in recent years moved the Bank's thinking beyond narrowly economic notions of development. Our account is tentative and we suggest further avenues of research. We try to connect the Bank's thinking systematically with key features of liberal discourse and suggest that this can do much to illuminate practice. We illustrat…

Underground Structures of the Democratic State
The paper offers a sociological explanation for the underground structures which arise in societies organized as political democracies. The case of the United States is used to explore this curious fact. The disjunction between democracy in public life and inequality in private life is resolved by the underground structures of the democratic state. In brief, as a stratified society becomes more democratic, secret police are used to destabilize so…
