Going Off-Script on Critical Comparative Scriptures
This essay reviews a year of monthly gatherings called “Off-Script: Scriptures, Scholarship, and our Subfield” as a vivid illustration of what Richard Newton has advanced under the agenda of a critical comparative study of scriptures. It sets out four problematics within this burgeoning subfield and invites colleagues to continue the intellectual conversation
Perceptions fuelling the demand for high value imported aquatic food in China
China is a dominant player in the global aquatic food market, importing around USD 22 billion worth of aquatic foods in 2022, primarily highvalue species such as Atlantic salmon, lobster, abalone, and sea cucumber. Despite this, the drivers behind the demand for high-value imported aquatic food in China are under-researched compared to Western markets. This study explores these drivers and provides insights into the perceptions shaping demand. Se…

All the while, Johnson helps us under…

“Many Happy Returns”
Fieldnotes in the Critical Study of Religion
This book introduces students to the so-called classics of the field from the 19th and 20th centuries, whilst challenging readers to apply a critical lens. Instead of representing scholars and their works as virtually timeless, each contributor provides sufficient background on the classic work in question so that readers not only understand its novelty and place in its own time, but are able to arrive at a critical understanding of whether its a…

Opportunities and limitations for the introduction of circular economy principles in EU aquaculture based on the regulatory framework
EU aquaculture produces only a small fraction of the internal demand of aquatic foods, but boosting this activity must be done in compliance with high standards of environmental protection and social benefits, as fostered by the policies on circular economy recently launched by the EU. Nevertheless, the assessment of the environmental sustainability of aquaculture and other food production systems is complex, due to the different tools and approa…

Intensification, regulation and diversification
Trends in aquatic food consumption were matched against farm production surveys within Hubei province and compared to official production data and statistics. Surveys showed that consumer tastes were changing to a much broader aquatic food menu as their spending power increased. Traditional aquaculture species were becoming less profitable due to reduced profit margins as input costs increased and consumption preferences changed. Consequently, ma…

The English Cult of Domenico Scarlatti
THE long popularity of Domenico Scarlatti's harpsichord music in England may well be accounted one of the most curious things in our very curious musical history. Unlike Bach, he has never needed a Mendelssohn or a Samuel Wesley to re-discover him; unlike the Virginalists, he has never had to wait for a radical change of taste to dispel more than a century's ignorance and misunderstanding: on the contrary, the reputation he gained here during his…

The changing pattern of a comprehensive infertility clinic
The results of a comprehensive daily fertility clinic are presented for the years 1970–72, together with a 2-month schedule of investigation for the couples. Twenty-seven per cent had ovulation problems, 18% fallopian tube blockage or adhesions, 25% oligo- or aspermia and 27% were normal to investigation. The treatment of these conditions is discussed; the highest pregnancy rate was seen in those with no treatment (45%) indicating the use of reas…
Pregnancy in girls under 17
Pregnancy occurring in girls under the age of 17 is of particular interest to those providing obstetric care and family planning services, as well as to the social welfare services in the community. Childbirth in girls of this age carries greater risk to mother and child than in the immediately older age groups and a young mother having a baby, whether married or not, may face social and economic difficulties. This study is designed to find out b…
Psychological factors in IUD use—a review
The high variability between centres in the incidence of side effects related to intrauterine devices (IUDs) is taken to indicate the need to direct research attention towards the context in which IUDs are inserted, as opposed to exclusive concern with the nature of the device. This paper considers the significance of psychological factors at the time of insertion in the light of recent studies indicating the benefits of adequate patient preparat…
Attitudes and Choice of Contraceptive
Attitudes towards contraceptive methods were sampled among 117 women, in their mid-20's, selecting a new method (Pill, IUD, Injectable) and a comparison group of women undergoing termination of pregnancy for the first time. High concordance was found, suggesting women were applying essentially the same standards in making their selection
A survey of attitudes towards permanent contraceptive methods
In this survey of attitudes towards permanent contraceptive methods, four groups were studied: (A) men having undergone a vasectomy 12 months previously ( n = 61); (B) men currently attending for vasectomy ( n = 58); (C) female partners of men currently undergoing vasectomy ( n = 60); and (D) women undergoing sterilization by tubal ligation ( n = 52). All patients completed a questionnaire which included questions on the reasons for selecting the…

Locating Value in the Study of Religion
Religious studies courses frequently justify their existence with the rhetoric of “value.” While appeasing the socio-economic concerns of college boards, this undermines the work of more critical approaches under the field’s big tent. The following paper responds to this disconcerting trend by casting religious studies as an analytical discipline that takes “evaluation” as its object of study. It details a way of navigating the critical turn usin…
The Spooky Politics of Dark Truths
As social theory garners cache in departments of Religious Studies, scholars find themselves unclear about how to address the notion of truth. This paper approaches truth as an opportunity to explain the role of truth-claims in erecting and razing social boundaries. It begins by reframing or “signifying on” Alan Race’s typology of exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism in order to register social formations rather than soteriological criteria. T…
Commentary
First paragraph: Aquaculture is receiving increased attention from a variety of stakeholders. This is largely due to its current role in the global food system of supplying more than half of the seafood consumed, and also because the industry continues to steadily expand (UN Food and Agriculture Organization 2018). A recent article in Environmental Research Letters, 'Feed conversion efficiency in aquaculture: do we measure it correctly?', by Fry …

Scared Sheetless
The ideology of white supremacy is alive and well in the U.S. This paper argues that those attempting to understand how white supremacy works should delve into recent justifications of anti-black violence rather than simply waiting to spot the white sheets of the Ku Klux Klan. Doing so requires scholars to disabuse themselves of taking for granted the descriptions of what may be characterized as a U.S. Christian-White imaginary and to observe the…
Prevention and Recovery Care Services in Australia
Aims: Community-based residential alternatives to hospitalization are an emerging service model. Evidence for their acceptability and effectiveness is promising but limited. Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) services are one such residential model, offering short-term subacute treatment and care (usually between 7 and 28 days). PARC services in Victoria, Australia, are designed to support consumers with severe mental illness to either avoid a p…

Christopher Cotter and David Robertson of The Religious Studies Project
The Religious Studies Project is now a well-known fixture in the field, but it was not always as well-known as it is today. In this interview, Dr. Richard Newton from the Bulletin sat down with Dr. Chris Cotter and Dr. David Robertson to discuss their journey in creating the religious studies podcast from simple pub talk in 2010 to its current collection of some 300 episodes. In relaying their strides and struggles in this venture, Cotter and Rob…
Hallowed Haunts
This paper uses Stephen Best's None Like Us and Charles H. Long's Significations: Signs, Symbols, and Images in the Interpretation of Religion to redescribe the notion of sacred space in light of the national African American museum. After highlighting religion and the museum's mutual Romantic origins, it underscores the invisible institution of slave religion as a modern counterpoint that is harrowingly evocative of the indeterminacy of human me…
