The impact of data spatial resolution on flood vulnerability assessment
Index-based approaches are a popular method for assessing societal vulnerability to flooding, many of which differ in terms of indicator selection, underlying social data, spatial scale and aggregation methods. They are typically assessed at geographically broad spatial scales to provide a spatial picture of vulnerability for policy and decision-makers. However, aggregation of vulnerability at broad scales also potentially masks the true vulnerab…

Root and Shoot Biomass Growth of Constructed Floating Wetlands Plants in Saline Environments
Constructed Floating Wetlands (CFWs) are increasingly being used globally in freshwater environments such as urban lakes and ponds to remove pollutants from urban stormwater runoff. However, to date there has been limited research into the use and performance of these systems in saline environments. This study compared the root and shoot biomass growth and nutrient uptake of five different plant species, Chrysopogon zizanioides , Baumea juncea , …

Interprétations du mariage précoce dans le système juridique en Angleterre. Retour sur une expérience d'expertise
À partir d'une expérience d'expertise auprès du tribunal, en tant qu'anthropologue, pour une affaire de mariage précoce au sein d'une famille de migrants roms, cet article s'intéresse à la place de l'expert et au conflit juridique entraîné par son intervention. En mobilisant la notion empruntée à Emmanuel Todd de « famille communautaire endogame », la réflexion menée ici explore la question de l'articulation entre tradition, autonomie et choix, e…
Rebooting the lyrical short story: Experimenting with viewpoint
This article examines the writings of short story theorists, Michael O’Toole, Monika Fludernik, Uri Margolin, Bruce Morrissette and John Gerlach, and analyses their findings through comparison with a number of experiments with viewpoint in my recently published short fiction collection Mr Jolly (2016). These experiments include utilizing second-person in order to understand its ability to exploit narrative indeterminacy, as well as other experime…

Preliminary investigations of toxicity in the Georges Bay catchment, Tasmania, Australia
North-eastern Tasmania, Australia has been an area of major production for Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) for over 25 years. Since the mid-1990s, increased oyster mortality has been observed. The purpose of the present study was to identify the agent causing aquatic toxicity and to investigate whether there is a chemical and/or toxicological link between river foam and monoculture timber plantation forests of exotic eucalypts (Eucalyptus nit…
Mysteries reside in the humblest, everyday things: Collaborative anthropology in the digital age
MyStreet is an internet‐based collaborative anthropology research project combining digital recording, Google maps and visual‐ethnographic research. It aims to generate a space for a series of ‘minor’ discourses in which ‘venatic’ evidence (Carlo Ginzburg) holds sway. I examine this project and its preliminary outcomes as a revival of the spirit of Mass Observation, a British social movement of the 1930s. Though originally rejected by the Anthrop…
Roma and Gypsy "Ethnicity" as a Subject of Anthropological Inquiry
Anthropological interest in Romany and Gypsy populations is now intense; but for the first seven or so decades of Anthropology, the field was left entirely to amateur folklorists. Roma and Gypsies may often "not want in" ( Gmelch 1986 ), but they also seem not to fit into existing academic models. Examining various ways in which Romany sociality challenges existing anthropological models, this article assesses the contribution of three explanatio…
Psychological concomitants and predictors of violence during political upheaval in Zimbabwe: A content analysis study
Predicting when political violence is likely to erupt is a major problem for international, national, and local governments and agencies. In this study, thematic content analysis (TCA) was used to measure integrative complexity (IC) and power motive imagery (PMI) in editorials written by the spokesman for President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Decreased IC and increased PMI have been shown to precede and accompany war versus negotiation in internat…
We Had it Coming: Hypothetical Docudrama as Contested Form and Multiple Fantasy
This essay examines four hypothetical docudramas - Smallpox 2002: Silent Weapon (2002), The Day Britain Stopped (2003), The Man Who Broke Britain (2004) and Death of a President (2006) - broadcast in the UK between 2002 and 2006. The article assesses the programmes' critical reception, and situates it with reference to Peter Watkins' influential docudrama, The War Game (1965). It is argued that while ambiguity is a feature of the docudrama form, …
Une catastrophe invisible: La Shoah des Tziganes

Remembering Without Commemoration: The Mnemonics and Politics of Holocaust Memories Among European Roma
Much has been written in recent years about the ways Gypsies (Roma) relate to their past. One important study of Holocaust memory has used the Roma as a paradigmatic case of a people who forget rather than remember their history. Rather than examining processes of ‘obliterating’ or downplaying the past, the approach taken here is to consider ways in which, despite Gypsy ‘presentist’ rhetoric, the past is ‘remembered’ among Gypsy populations. Foll…

True Speech: Song and the Moral Order of a Hungarian Vlach Gypsy Community
This article looks into the Hungarian Gypsy (Rom) idea of truth in what they call 'true speech', that is song. In the act of singing, Rom men create an ideal communal world in contrast to their daily fractiousness. The context a'nd content of Rom collective singing, as well as the nature of song, mean that in the performance of song Rom men experience themselves becoming fully Rom. Because of this, what the songs say appears especially convincing…
A deeply stratified archaeological and sedimentary sequence in the Delaware river valley of the middle Atlantic region, United States
A stratified sedimentary and archaeological sequence over seven meters thick is under investigation on Upper Shawnee Island in the Upper Delaware Valley, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Artifact deposits identified to date include Early Archaic (7380 B.C.), possible Middle Archaic (4300/3300 B.C.), Late Archaic (1565 B.C.), and Middle and Late Woodland components. This paper focuses on the Early Archaic deposits at approximately 4.3 meters below the…

La passion de l'argent: Les ambiguïtés de la circulation monétaire chez les Tsiganes hongrois
Traduit de l'anglais par Tina Jolas Sur l’argent et son usage dans l'échange, les sociétés européennes ont tenu, depuis le Moyen Age et plus, deux discours diamétralement opposés. Dans l'un, que nous appellerons le « modèle domestique », formulé initialement par Aristote, repris par la critique religieuse du Moyen Age sur le commerce et l'usure, et qu'on retrouve jusqu'à nos jours dans des contextes paysans comme chez certains critiques radicaux,…

Un peuple sans patrie
Traduit de l'anglais par Anne Sonolet Chaque époque – et la notre échappe pas – se considère comme la dernière à être bénie (et maudite) par la présence des Tziganes. Qu'ils soient bienveillants ou hostiles, romantiques ou cyniques, les commentateurs ont une opinion bien arrêtée : les « errants du monde » ont enfin été « domestiqués », leur mode de vie est finalement passé de mode, le « temps des Tzignes » appartient au passé. De telles affirmati…

Mauvaises morts, prêtres impurs et pouvoir récupérateur du chant: Les rituels mortuaires chez les Tsiganes de Hongrie
Traduit de l'anglais par Anne Chapoutot L’une des questions que l’on me pose le plus souvent concerne les croyances religieuses des Tsiganes. Sont-ils chrétiens ? Croient-ils à une vie après la mort ? Où qu'ils se trouvent, les Tsiganes sont crédités par les non-Tsiganes de pouvoirs étranges, surnaturels, qui seraient liés à des origines prétendues exotiques. Mes naïfs interlocuteurs tombent ici dans le même piège que les services sociaux désireu…
The Middle to Late Woodland Transition in the Lower/Middle Delaware Valley
The transition between Middle and Late Woodland cultures is a gradual one in terms of changes in adaptations. A stylistic/typological boundary between the periods can be drawn sometime between A.D. 700 and A.D. 900 and involves the persistent use (after this date) of triangular projectile points and the manufacture and use of a suite of ceramic types different from those of earlier times. Alterations of adaptive strategies, as reflected in settle…

“‘The fashion nowadays is to speak of the God in the heart and the God in the Universe.’ ‘Is it the same God?’ ‘Leave it at that,’ said Peter. ‘We don't know. All the waste and muddle in religion is due to people arguing and asserting that they are the same, that they are different but related, or that they are different but opposed. And so on and so on.’ & But the name of God was to Oswald a name battered out of all value and meaning.” So Mr. H.…
Resistance to Technological Change in Industry
Considerable attention has been devoted to the problem of resistance to technological change in industry. There is at present less agreement on the subject than might be possible if some of the collected facts were looked at in the light of assumptions different from those usually made. It is the contention of this paper that the questions of why and when and where technological change is resisted have not been satisfactorily answered because wri…

Results showed that early adolescents, particularly boys, perceived d…
