The Murky Circumstances of Consent in Canada
The Supreme Court of Canada recently ruled on R. v Kirkpatrick, a case that raises many complex questions regarding consent and sexual violence in Canada. Despite the complainant stating that she would only have sexual intercourse with Ross Kirkpatrick with a condom, Kirkpatrick chose not to wear one, and he was charged with sexual assault. While at trial, it was found that the complainant consented to the sexual activity, and the BC Court of App…

Helmut Schmidt and British-German Relations. A European Misunderstanding
This subtle study of British-German relations is centred on Helmut Schmidt’s relations as German Chancellor with the three British Prime Ministers of his time—Harold Wilson (1974–76), James Callaghan (1976–79) and Margaret Thatcher (1979–82). It is a study of high politics but, using the concept of mindsets (or mental maps), it explores the history behind the attitudes each adopted and the way they understood and misunderstood each other. This ap…

Khongso
Khongso /khɔŊ˦so˧/ is an SVO Tibeto-Burman language spoken by between two and three thousand speakers in Paletwa Township, Southern Chin State, Myanmar (Dryer 2008, Wright 2009). The speakers live in 17 villages primarily along the Michaung River (see Figure 1).1 Khongso is mutually intelligible with Anu, which has a population of 700 and is spoken west of the Khongso area (So-Hartmann 1988, Wright 2009, Lewis, Simons & Fennig 2016). The ISO code…
The Book of Collateral Damage
Sinan Antoon returns to the Iraq war in a poetic and provocative tribute to reclaiming memory Widely-celebrated author Sinan Antoon's fourth and most sophisticated novel follows Nameer, a young Iraqi scholar earning his doctorate at Harvard, who is hired by filmmakers to help document the devastation of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. During the excursion, Nameer ventures to al-Mutanabbi street in Baghdad, famed for its bookshops, and encounters Wadoo…

Rocks, skulls and materialism
Recent years have seen the development of a more nuanced understanding of the emergence of scientific naturalism in the nineteenth century. It has become apparent that scientific naturalism did not emerge sui generis in the years following the publication of Charles Darwin's On the origin of species (1859), but was present, if only in incipient form, much earlier in the century. Building on recent scholarship, this article adopts a geographically…

Layered Landscapes
Agents of Empire
At the heart of Noel Malcolm’s book is an attempt to ‘describe the experiences, adventures and achievements of an unusually interesting set of people’ (p. xvii)—namely, members of the Bruni and Bruti families who carved out impressive careers as, among much else, secret agents, dragomans, high-ranking clerics and soldiers during the sixteenth century. This, as Malcolm explains in his preface, might be construed as an exercise in microhistory. Mal…
The Jesuit Suppression in Global Context
In 1773, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus, a dramatic, puzzling act that had a profound impact. This volume traces the causes of the attack on the Jesuits, the national expulsions that preceded universal suppression, and the consequences of these extraordinary developments. The Suppression occurred at a unique historical juncture, at the high-water mark of the Enlightenment and on the cusp of global imperial crises and the Age of …

Catholics, science and civic culture in Victorian Belfast
The connections between science and civic culture in the Victorian period have been extensively, and intensively, investigated over the past several decades. Limited attention, however, has been paid to Irish urban contexts. Roman Catholic attitudes towards science in the nineteenth century have also been neglected beyond a rather restricted set of thinkers and topics. This paper is offered as a contribution to addressing these lacunae, and exami…
An Anglo-Irish Radical in the Late Georgian Metropolis
This article focuses on the Irish-born metropolitan radical and parliamentary journalist Peter Finnerty, exploring, in particular, the distinctive nature of his political engagement. Chiefly remembered as a friend of William Hazlitt and an implacable opponent of Lord Castlereagh, Finnerty was an influential figure in his own right, who moved between a range of social and political spaces. Framing him as an unrepentant Irish radical, indifferent t…
Narratives of Adversity
In an early modern universe ‘where the will of God was evident everywhere’ (p. 3) it was necessary to conceptualise both success and failure as proof of divine approval. Jesuits were very good at turning disaster and adversity to advantage: the more martyrs the merrier, and the more tests of faith, the better. The eastern Habsburg lands—stretching as far as Moldavia, Ukraine, Serbia and Wallachia—did not disappoint in this regard. As Paul Shore’s…

The Belfast Chameleon
Using the varied life and career of the Belfast-born writer, parliamentarian and sometime colonial administrator James Emerson Tennent as a case study, this article explores the complexity of imperial lives and highlights some aspects of Ulster's connection to empire in the pre-Home Rule era. One of many Ulstermen active in imperial administration, Emerson Tennent served as colonial secretary in Ceylon between 1845 and 1850. Although short-lived …

Marian Exiles and the Legitimacy of Flight from Persecution
With particular attention paid to the experience of the Marian exiles, this paper analyses the sixteenth-century Protestant debate about the rectitude of flight from persecution. It suggests that, although this debate must be located in a centuries-old Christian discussion about flight, contemporary understandings of the nature of God's will and providence were equally important. The paper contends that the Marian exiles largely succeeded in just…
The role of Britain in West German foreign policy since 19491
Anglo‐German relations since 1949 have been a curious mixture of harmony and tension. This paper looks at the reasons both for cooperation and conflict and some of the ways in which German perceptions of Britain have changed since 1949. Attitudes to security, economic integration and political identity produced a complex pattern, where each side at times had unrealistic expectations of the other. Recently published documents from the Auswärtiges …
The Evolution of Begging
"Begging in nestling birds has become the model system for investigations into evolutionary conflicts of interest within families and the honest signalling of offspring need. Although originally inspired by theoretical treatments of parent-offspring conflict and its resolution, the field now includes a wide range of work in behaviour, physiology and evolutionary biology." "Leading researchers in avian begging and related fields were asked to cont…

Exploring Optimal Experiences
This article introduces reversal theory in relation to flow theory and occupational science. The reasons why reversal theory might be compatible with research into the flow process are explored. Reversal theory itself is described and the methods by which people are thought to move between domains and metamotivational states are explained. The variety of research underpinning reversal theory is examined and an explanation for the limited research…
A Reversal Theory Exploration of Flow Process and the Flow Channel
This article follows on from a previous discussion paper Exploring optimal experiences: A reversal theory perspective of flow and occupational science, which argued the utility of reversal theory for increasing understanding of optimal experiences of engagement in occupation. Flow has been argued to be an optimal experience that occurs when people get so absorbed in what they are doing that they lose track of time and forget everything else. This…
Stresemann and Locarno
The significance of the Locarno treaties remains one of the central issues of the interwar period. Did they mark, as Austen Chamberlain claimed, ‘the real dividing line between the years of war and the years of peace’ or were they, at best, a truce masking the incompatible ambitions of France and Germany and, at worst, a first act of appeasement by which France and Britain obtained security for the Rhineland at the expense of Poland and Czechoslo…

The World's Worst Worm
This article explores the ways in which conscience was anatomized during the early modern period and how the central role afforded to it in moral decision making meant that conscience was constantly invoked in the polemical war between the faiths over the issue of religious conformity.This article identifies conscience as one weapon in the arsenal of an interventionist God determined to reprimand sinners, and then looks at the ways in which conte…

Gustav Stresemann
Gustav Stresemann was the exceptional political figure of his time. His early death in 1929 has long been viewed as the beginning of the end for the Weimar Republic and the opening through which Hitler was able to come to power. His career was marked by many contradictions but also a pervading loyalty to the values of liberalism and nationalism. This enabled him in time both to adjust to defeat and revolution and to recognize in the Republic the …

The Ruhr Crisis, 1923–1924
The Ruhr Crisis, 1923–1924. By CONAN FISCHER (Oxford: Oxford U.P., 2003; pp. 312. £50). THE Ruhr crisis was one of the seminal events of the interwar period. It arose from the frustration of the French government at what it saw as defiance by German industrialists of the reparations clauses of the Versailles Treaty, made worse by the lack of support for France from its erstwhile allies, Britain and the United States. Poincaré determined to change…

Godly Reformers and their Opponents in Early Modern England
This book traces the emergence of religious factionalism within an urban community, from Elizabeth's reign until the outbreak of the English Civil War, focusing upon early modern England's second city, Norwich, but placing it in the context of England as a whole. Typically, Tudor and Stuart Norwich has been viewed as a centre of radical puritanism, but through careful study of its rich municipal archive as well as hitherto untapped diocesan and p…

Further Explorations into the Conundrum of Flow Process
This study builds on previous research that has aimed to clarify uncertainties regarding what happens before, during and after a ‘flow’ experience, a psychological state that appears to arise during optimal human experience. A phenomenological approach was taken to examine the flow experiences of seven participants. The method included participants keeping journals and semi-structured interviews. The flow process seemed to vary between challenge-…
The Cambridge Companion to the Jesuits
Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556) obtained papal approval in 1540 for a new international religious order called the Society of Jesus. Until the mid-1700s the 'Jesuits' were active in many parts of Europe and far beyond. Gaining both friends and enemies in response to their work as teachers, scholars, writers, preachers, missionaries and spiritual directors, the Jesuits were formally suppressed by Pope Clement XIV in 1773 and restored by Pope Pius V…
