Tom Nairn and the Twilight of Ukania
Obituary to pay homage to the eminent Scottish scholar on nationalism, Tom Nairn
The use of binaries in nationalism studies
This introduction to the themed section 'Beyond Binaries of Nationalism' critically reviews the use of binaries in nationalism studies. It identifies a lack of precision in the use of ideal types as a key failing, and points to new conceptions and types. The contributions to the section question the reification of binaries, most especially western/eastern and civic/ethnic and their attendant biases, and instead emphasize a certain ideological flu…
Filosofía ambiental de campo
En un mundo aceleradamente cambiante, para confrontar las prdidas de biodiversidad, el desconocimiento y falta de valoracin de los grupos de organismos ms diversos, son necesarios cambios culturales que trasciendan a los mbitos puramente cientficos y tecnolgicos. En este trabajo se aborda esta problemtica al enfocarse en uno de los grupos de organismos menos conocidos en una de las regiones ms remotas del planeta: los insectos dulceacucolas en la…

Sumergidos con lupa en los ríos del cabo de hornos
La Reserva de la Biosfera Cabo de Hornos (RBCH) es la más grande de Chile e integra ecosistemas marinos y terrestres, e incluye tres parques nacionales (PN): PN Cabo de Hornos, PN Alberto de Agostini y PN Yendegaia. Se encuentra inmersa dentro de la ecorregión subantártica de Magallanes, que ha sido identificada como una de últimas áreas prístinas del planeta. Sin embargo, no se encuentra libre de amenazas locales y globales, tales como las espec…

Nonverbal Immediacy as a Characterisation of Social Behaviour for Human–Robot Interaction
Service providers’ perspectives and residents’ experiences with the implementation of “Housing First” program in the city of London, Ontario, Canada
Housing First (HF) is now an internationally promoted community housing model for long-term homeless individuals who have mental health difficulties including substance abuse issues. This study aimed to understand the perspectives and experiences of service providers and residents associated with the London CAReS program, an HF program currently operating in the city of London, Ontario, Canada. London CAReS was designed to transition homeless ind…
John Porter Lecture
Liberal Nationalisms: Empire, State and Civil Society in Scotland and Quebec argues that the emergence and character of nationalism are directly related to changes in patterns of political rule and the liberal settlements that underlay that rule. The focus is on the emergence of two nationalist groups in Scotland and Quebec at the beginning of the twentieth century: the Young Scots' Society and Ligue nationaliste canadienne. They exhibited libera…
Socially contingent humanoid robot head behaviour results in increased charity donations
The role of robot social behaviour in changing people's behaviour is an interesting and yet still open question, with the general assumption that social behaviour is beneficial. In this study, we examine the effect of socially contingent robot behaviours on a charity collection task. Manipulating only behavioural cues (maintaining the same verbal content), we show that when the robot exhibits contingent behaviours consistent with those observable…
Social robot tutoring for child second language learning
An increasing amount of research is being conducted to determine how a robot tutor should behave socially in educational interactions with children. Both human-human and human-robot interaction literature predicts an increase in learning with increased social availability of a tutor, where social availability has verbal and nonverbal components. Prior work has shown that greater availability in the nonverbal behaviour of a robot tutor has a posit…
From characterising three years of HRI to methodology and reporting recommendations
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research requires the integration and cooperation of multiple disciplines, technical and social, in order to make progress. In many cases using different motivations, each of these disciplines bring with them different assumptions and methodologies. We assess recent trends in the field of HRI by examining publications in the HRI conference over the past three years (over 100 full papers), and characterise them accord…

Comparing Robot Embodiments in a Guided Discovery Learning Interaction with Children
A Liberal Route from Homogeneity
This article explores how key US policymakers’ understandings of nationalism contributed to core tensions in Bosnia's Dayton Peace Accords. Drawing on in-depth interviews with some of Dayton's key architects, our findings suggest that US elites drew on a cluster of entwined social knowledge claims about (ethnic) nationalism and the possibility of its liberal accommodation.
To Build a Notion
This article offers a contribution to the sociology of social science knowledge practices and expertise through the empirical lens of US nation building policies. Drawing on archival materials, including the State Department's Freedom of Information Act documents, and interviews with key policymakers we offer a comparative historical sociology of the US State Department as a site of nation building knowledge and expertise. In examining the evolvi…
Looking Beyond the Church
Many parts of Western Europe and North America experienced as Hugh McLeod has noted a ‘religious crisis’ in the 1960s. Yet, this multifaceted ‘religious crisis’ did not affect ‘the church’ alone, as McLeod's work strongly suggests. Politics and civil society also changed substantially. Hit particularly hard by the change in religious sensibilities was the Netherlands, where half the population went to church regularly until the mid-1960s, after w…

Putting Cruelty First
This article contributes to an understanding of the role of agency in a sociology of human rights by examining how a small group of individuals interpreted, defined, and instantiated 'hard' human rights, or those atrocities associated with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Using political theorist Judith Shklar's perpetrator-focused framework of 'putting the prevention of cruelty first', we explore the role of agency in the construction of …
Tolerant majorities, loyal minorities and ‘ethnic reversals
The 1919 Versailles Peace Conference created new states in East Central Europe (ECE), but the imperfect implementation of the ‘one nation, one state’ formula resulted in more than twenty‐five million ‘unassimilable’ minorities. With the introduction of majoritarian democracy, this gave rise to what we term ‘ethnic reversals’: ‘formally dominant majorities’ suffered status decline, while previously ‘minoritised majorities’ found new political powe…
Contrasting Liberal Nationalists”
This article utilizes Will Kymlicka's (1995) distinction between “equality between groups” and “equality within groups” to assess the degree to which nationalism can be considered liberal. The substantive focus is on the pronouncements of two sets of nationalists in Scotland and Québec at the turn of the 20th century: the Young Scots’ Society and the more loosely grouped Nationalistes. Both groups were nurtured in the “Liberal politics” of the er…

Where is the British national press?1
Although globalization has highlighted the danger of conflating state, society and nation, sociologists remain insufficiently alert to such banal nationalism. Newspapers offer a strong test case of the extent of diversity in the construction of state, national and social boundaries, since Billig and Anderson have argued they comprise a special case where their orientation to an audience simultaneously located in a state, society and nation allows…
The International Relations of the 'Transition
Ernest Gellner's political sociology has been relatively neglected not only in international relations (IR) but also in sociology and social anthropology. This article provides an overview of Gellner's ambitious vision of our modern condition. Central to this vision is the salience of the “transition” from agrarian to industrial society, which Gellner believed had transformed and revolutionized not only our philosophical outlook but also our soci…

Nation Speaking Unto Nation? Newspapers and National Identity in the Devolved UK
There are two problems with the existing account of the relationship between newspapers and national identity in the UK. The first is that although it is widely assumed that the mass media are central to the reproduction and evolution of national identity this has never been empirically demonstrated. The second is that exactly what comprises the relevant ‘national’ context in the UK is unclear. Content analysis of 2,500 sampled articles, together…

The Role of Communication in Interindividual-Intergroup Discontinuity
The present research was designed to explore the role of communication on interindividual-intergroup discontinuity in the context of the PDG-Alt matrix. (The PDG-Alt matrix is a prisoner's dilemma game matrix that adds a third withdrawal choice to the usual cooperative and uncooperative choices of the PDG matrix, and interindividual-intergroup discontinuity is the tendency of intergroup relations to be more competitive and less cooperative than i…
Mediating Which Nation? Citizenship and National Identities in the British Press
This paper examines one particular aspect of the relationship between citizenship and media, namely the way in which newspapers establish, define or reinforce the boundaries of “national” communities (and thus determine who might be a member). The research is conducted against the background of devolution in the United Kingdom, which helped to focus upon and illuminate the diverse conceptions of national identities within multi-national states. W…

Robert Axelrod's model of the spread of culture is extended to demonstrate that social interaction can function as an algorithm for optimizing cognition. Mental structures can be represented as strings of symbols that can be evaluated according to some criterion of goodness. Individuals interact with their neighbors, often resulting in patterns of similarities within and differences between regions of the population. Group-level phenomena, in tur…

A Switzerland of the north? TheNationalistesand a bi‐national Canada
Nationalism is frequently associated with the break‐up of states. This article seeks to demonstrate that nationalism, through the guise ofbi‐nationalism, can be compatible with the creation and maintenance of a multinational state. The political vision of theNationalistesof Québec provides the focus. In the early twentieth century these individuals believed that Canada could emulate states such as Switzerland and Belgium, which were marked by a d…

Responding to Empire
This article emphasises the role of empire in explaining the emergence of "liberal nationalism" in Scotland and Québec in the early twentieth century. That period witnessed a relative decline in the British Empire's geopolitical standing. In response British governments implemented policies which sought to redress its decline. The article focuses on three policies - the South African War, tariff reform and imperial defence - and the response of t…

XV. —The Indians in Armenia, 130 b.c.—300 a.d
The existence of an ancient Indian colony in Armenia is well known to Armenian scholars, but Indianists have paid little attention to it. We owe our knowledge of it to Zenob, a Syrian, and a native of Glak (Klag), which Mr. Ellis suggests may be the Armenian equivalent of Kerak. Zenob became an ecclesiastic in an unknown town of Cappadocia called Nystra, and was the companion of St. Gregory the Illuminator on an idol-smashing tour through Armenia…

XII. The Gospels of the Infancy, the Lalita Vistara, and the Vishnu Purāna
The Jews were the first in the field; and the earliest Western legends which made their way to the East are taken from the Old Testament. Josephus has told us that the Semites were settled on the Kabul River by the first century a.d. ; they may have been there still earlier; and there is an ancient tradition that Jews penetrated about this time into China—a thing not improbable in itself, if it could be authenticated. Now in the year a.d. 75 a Ch…

XV. The Aryan Invasion of Northern India
Ethnologists divide the Indian Āryas into two groups, the Indo-Aryan and the Aryo-Dravidian. The Indo-Aryans occupy the Indus basin, that is to say the greater part of the Panjab; and they have colonized a considerable part of Northern and Central Rajputana. They are homogeneous, more homogeneous than the English, who are the most homogeneous people in Europe; and that, despite various foreign invaders, who have settled among them within historic…
The Aryan Invasion of Northern India
We have seen how the Panjab and the Valley of the Middle Ganges were organized before the sixth century b.c. We have still to answer the question, wherein did this organization consist? It consisted in three things: it established a differentiation in physical type; it created caste; and it brought about a novel intellectual and religious outlook upon life. Of the physical types we need say nothing more; and the intellectual and religious evoluti…
