An exploration of factors characterising unusual spatial clusters of Covid-19 cases in the East Midlands region, UK
Clothed in tattoos
George Vason arrived on the island of Tongatapu in 1797, as part of the London Missionary Society's first foray into the Tongan Islands. Instead of creating converts, Vason embraced the Tongan way of life. Overtly framed as a narrative of reclamation, of a “missionary seduced abroad and reclaimed at home”, his travel account in fact seeks to imagine an identity unbound by any culture, including his own. Focusing particularly on Vason's account of…
Aping expressions? Chimpanzees produce distinct laugh types when responding to laughter of others
Humans have the ability to replicate the emotional expressions of others even when they undergo different emotions. Such distinct responses of expressions, especially positive expressions, play a central role in everyday social communication of humans and may give the responding individuals important advantages in cooperation and communication. The present work examined laughter in chimpanzees to test whether nonhuman primates also use their expr…

Exclusive Visions? Representations of Family, Work and Gender in the Work of the British Social Exclusion Unit
The Social Exclusion Unit (SEU) of the British Government is a recent and innovative response to social problems in the UK. Through an examination of selected publications of the SEU, the article highlights some of the representations of family, work and gender which provide the discursive context in which the SEU operates and to which it, in turn, contributes. The article suggests that perspectives found in the post-1945 welfare state continue t…
Political Constructions and Social Realities of Exclusion in Urban Leisure
This paper explores some of the tensions between the political constructions of social exclusion in Britain and personal experiences of the problem as reflected in selected patterns of urban leisure. To highlight what we argue are wider incidences of exclusion, the paper draws on a case study of the leisure patterns of elderly women in contrasting urban neighbourhoods in a British city. Using Johnson's (1986) concept of a circuit of culture, the …
Left out? Observations on the RGS‐IBG conference on social exclusion and the city
On 29 October 1998, the RGS‐IBG invited delegates to a conference entitled ‘Social exclusion and the city’, with Geoff Mulgan (founder of the think‐tank Demos and a policy advisor to Prime Minister Blair) as the keynote speaker. The event was well attended, providing much useful insight into the government policies of the 'Social Exclusion Unit’ and ongoing academic research into the processes and problems of 'social exclusion’. Here we provide s…
L'économie politique d'une succession annoncée
Dans le contexte d'une succession annoncée par Daniel Arap Moi lui-même, la famille élargie du président est apparue comme l'un des acteurs centraux des rivalités factionnelles qui agitent le pouvoir. Ce rôle tient notam¬ ment à l'accumulation considérable qu'elle a réalisée depuis trois décennies et à l'implication de ses membres dans des pratiques criminelles qui excluent tout abandon du pouvoir
