Dying to Save: Child Sacrifice in the Harry Potter and The Hunger Games Series
J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games series feature the sacrifice of children in ways that reflect the lasting cultural fascination with sacrifice and participate in a wider contemporary conversation that both contests and inscribes the sacrifice of children for a variety of purposes. Whereas a deity's founding or protection of a city or nation has long been central to myths of child sacrifice, thereby linkin…
Susan Juster. Sacred Violence in Early America
As scholars from across disciplinary fields continue to wrestle with religiously inspired violence, a small but growing body of literature has begun to bring to the fore the history of religion and violence in North America, including John D. Carlson and Jonathan Ebel’s edited volume From Jeremiad to Jihad: Religion, Violence, and America (2012) and John Pahl’s Empire of Sacrifice: The Religious Origins of American Violence (2010). Susan Juster’s…

Using census aggregates to proxy for household characteristics: An application to vehicle ownership
Traditionally, researchers studying transportation choice have used data either acquired from household surveys or broad, region-wide aggregates. At the disaggregate level, researchers usually do not have access to important variables or observations. This study investigates the potential usefulness of a proxy approach to modeling discrete choice vehicle ownership: substituting narrow area-based aggregate proxies for missing micro-level explanato…
The Ubiquity of Culture
The Ubiquity of Culture Jeffrey J. Williams (bio) Review essay: Francis Mulhern, Culture/Metaculture (London: Routledge, 2000) and Terry Eagleton, The Idea of Culture (Oxford: Blackwell, 2000). If you are building a house, the first thing you do is probably not to plant flowers. You dig the basement, pour the foundation, frame the building, raise and shingle the roof, put up the siding, and so forth. Then, if you have time and money left, you mig…

Essays in Postmodern Culture
In an attempt to bridge the gap between theory and practice in postmodern studies, the essays that make up this volume illuminate some of the issues central to this provocative analytic approach. These works apply theory to practical subjects and, in the process, articulate new theoretical positions. Topics include the relations between food and the symbolic, AIDS and individuality, Marxist politics in the context of postmodernism, the consequenc…

Convenience Yield without the Convenience: A Spatial–Temporal Interpretation of Storage under Backwardation
A mathematical programming model of the wheat marketing system of Western Australia manifests a typical pattern of regionwide stocks held at a negative intertemporal spread measured at the port. No stocks are held at a monetary loss in terms of local prices. Any apparent loss is an illusion from spatial aggregation of stocks and attribution of incentives at one locality to storers at all locations. Moreover, as the premium for immediate delivery …

The Shadow of de Man
The name carries a strange charge on the current scene of theory. While de Man stands as a representative figure of the turn to theory from the late 1960s on and his work decisively marked the ensuing critical conversation, his name now spurs a range of complicated reactions, from guarded veneration to knee-jerk condemnation. In the aftermath of the discovery of his wartime writings, his name invokes a scandal, a scandal that incurs a series of e…

Futures Markets: A Consequence of Risk Aversion or Transactions Costs
A two-period model of an industry of risk-neutral processors who have nonlinear production costs and who face transact ions costs in the spot and futures markets is put forth as a countere xample to the models of commodity markets in which processors' risk a version plays the major role.

Narrative of Narrative (Tristram Shandy)
Tristram Shandy presents an extreme in novelistic interpretation, since the presumed events of the narrative, of Tristram's autobiography and the Shandy family history, are not only told out of order, but are frequently cut off and fragmentary. At times, the suggestion of a word causes the narrative to jump from an event in 1718, say, to Toby's battle experience at Namur in 1695. The plot is peculiar in its appearance of non-linearity and disorde…
