Catalyzing community-led conservation governance through integrated conservation and development in coastal Mozambique
Between 2008 and 2018, the CARE-World Wildlife Fund Alliance implemented an integrated conservation and development project in the Primeiras e Segundas region of Mozambique to address intersecting challenges of poverty, food insecurity and biodiversity loss. The project aimed to catalyze the development of robust community-led governance of coastal resources and generate insights concerning the interplay between conservation and development inter…
Participatory Policing
This article identifies an emerging genre of police body camera content that we term “participatory policing”: social media videos composed from official police footage, obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, and transformed into viral entertainment by amateur content creators who add narration, sound, and visual effects. Through an analysis of videos, viewer comments, and the broader media ecosystem surrounding the YouTube …
Adaptive responses to inter-group competition over natural resources
Policies create externalities. In conservation, one of the most common types of externalities is leakage, where damages are exported beyond a policy's jurisdictional boundaries. Although much research has measured leakage, little addresses its impact on the lives of people suffering from damages from leakage. This paper develops a comprehensive modeling framework to formalize the dynamics by which individuals and communities exposed to leakage ad…
Safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222) against Sars-CoV-2
Background A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. Methods This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Afri…
Soma and Haoma
In this article, the origins of the cult of the ritual drink known assoma/haomaare explored. Various shortcomings of the main botanical candidates that have so far been proposed for this so-called "nectar of immortality" are assessed. Attention is brought to a variety of plants identified assoma/haomain ancient Asian literature. Some of these plants are included in complex formulas and are sources of dimethyl tryptamine, monoamine oxidase inhibit…

In the final section the author discusses whether fourth-century Athens was a catastrophically disrupted society, haunted by the trauma of the Peloponnesian war and the subsequent experience of tyranny. However, it must be noted that by the middle of the fourth century, when the c…

Homer's Versicolored Fabric
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS Homer's Versicolored Fabric: The Evocative Power of Ancient Greek Epic Word-Making. By Anna Bonifazi. Washington, D.C.: Center for Hellenic Studies. 2012. Pp. viii, 350. This book is a study of Homeric language from the perspective of discourse linguistics, language in use rather than language as an abstract grammatical system, with particular attention to the layering of meaning in discourse and the use of words which…
The cognitive turn
Corresponding to the “narrative turn” in the human and cultural sciences, this paper advocates a “cognitive turn” in the study of literary narratives. The representation of the self in literary narratives, for example, is in some ways similar to the representation of the self represented in philosophic, psychological, and sociological theory, but the narrative models extend and enrich the understanding of the self. The tradition of literary narra…

The Gentry, the Commons, and the Politics of Common Right in Enfield, C. 1558 – C. 1603
This article explores the uses made of common land in late sixteenth-century England by members of the landowning elite, focusing in particular on those who held manorial lordship. Other studies have focused on landlords’ efforts to enclose the commons, a process identified by some as a key element in the transition to capitalist farming. By contrast, this study shows that landlords made commercial use of common land, using it, for example, as a …
Resistance, Collaboration and the Early Modern ‘Public Transcript’
This article engages critically with recent contributions to the study of early modern social relations and popular politics which have drawn inspiration from the ideas of the anthropologist James C. Scott. It argues that, by adopting aspects of Scott's vocabulary, especially his notion of ‘dominant’ and ‘subordinate’ groups, historians have given undue emphasis to the role of social conflict. While arguing strongly in favour of interdisciplinari…
Formulas, metre and type-scenes
The idea that Homer was an oral poet composing in a tradition of formulaic language is one of the seminal concepts of twentieth-century scholarship. The major figure in the development of this idea was Milman Parry (1902-1935), though many other scholars have contributed to the theory. Parry built on earlier work, and it is fair to say that many elements of his theory had been stated previously; what was new was his way of combining these element…
The Cambridge Companion to Homer
The Cambridge Companion to Homer is a guide to the essential aspects of Homeric criticism and scholarship, including the reception of the poems in ancient and modern times. Written by an international team of scholars, it is intended to be the first port of call for students at all levels, with introductions to important subjects and suggestions for further exploration. Alongside traditional topics like the Homeric Question, the divine apparatus …

Fighting Words:How Heroes Argue Matthew Clark I. Force and Persuasion According to the French philosopher Simone Weil, "The true hero, the true subject, the center of the Iliad is force" (Weil 1956.3). Weil defines force as "that x that turns anybody who is subject to it into a thing" (Weil 1956.3, emphasis in original). This force manifests itself in three ways. First, there is the force that kills, the force that turns someone into a corpse. Se…

Out of Line
Building upon the groundbreaking work of Milman Parry and Albert Lord, Out of Line presents a new theory of Homeric composition, focusing upon patterns that extend beyond the boundary of the line and the clause. Matthew Clark takes enjambment as a starting point, analyzing the techniques used by the poet to complete a line that begins with a runover. Clark proceeds to propose two levels of analysis, a 'deep-structure' level, which describes the a…

Enjambment and Binding in Homeric Hexameter
PREVIOUS STUDIES of enjambment in Homeric verse have posed a variety of questions, such as: What are the types of Homeric enjambment? Do the differences between Homer's practice and that of later poets help to demonstrate that the Homeric epics were oral compositions? What is the relationship between enjambment and sentence structure? And recently the methods of discourse analysis have been used to call into question the very status of enjambment…
