Academics Retire and Servers Die: Adventures in the Hosting and Storage of Digital Humanities Projects
This article examines the technical development and afterlives of two projects, the CURSUS project (2000-2003) and the William Godwin’s Diary project (2007-2010) to undertake case studies in problems relating to hosting and storage of digital humanities projects. In both cases a combination of outside events or project decisions negatively impacted the project. This was discussed as part of a symposium for the Endings Principles for Digital Longe…

Hands-On Reading: An Experiment in Slow Digital Reading
This paper offers a case study of the development of Hands-On Reading (https://hands-on-reading.atnu.ncl.ac.uk/login), a web app that explores the interconnections between digital reading and writing. The app was created as part of the AHRC-funded project Manuscripts after Print c.1450-1550: Producing and Reading Books during Technological Change, which ran at Newcastle University between February 2019 and July 2020. It was initially designed to …
Sex in the time of coronavirus: Queer men negotiating biosexual citizenship during the Covid-19 pandemic
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, representations of irresponsible gay men partying with little regard for viral transmission have circulated across social media; a construction of gay men that has a history that long precedes the coronavirus conjuncture. In this article, we draw on in-depth qualitative interviews with 43 queer men in London and Edinburgh, to investigate experiences of sexual and intimate practices during COVID-19 and use the con…
“Look How Many Gays There Are Here”: Digital Technologies and Non-Heterosexual Space in Haikou
This article explores the capacities of digital technologies to disrupt, redefine and multiply urban spaces, creating new ways of seeing and experiencing cities. Based on ethnographic research into the lives of men who desire men in Haikou, People’s Republic of China, and their uses of the location-aware dating app Blued, I show how the city is produced anew as a space imagined and engaged in relation to the perceptible presence of other men who …
Post-reform gender politics: How do Chinese Internet users portray Theresa May on Zhihu
This article analyses Chinese Internet users’ discussions about the former UK Prime Minister—Theresa May. We gathered data from China’s most popular community question-answering (CQA) site—Zhihu and analysed how Chinese Internet users discuss May. The research findings suggest that Chinese Internet users often deploy gendered discourses in discussing May and that these gendered discourses often contain sub-textual commentary on international poli…

This research is based on an up-to-date case study of how Chinese Internet users discussed the UK Prime Minister - Boris Johnson's infection with COVID-19 in late March and early April 2020.

The Text Encoding Initiative and the Study of Literature
The text encoding initiative (TEI) is an international consortium which is dedicated to maintaining the TEI Guidelines as a recommended standard for textual markup. This chapter examines some of the history and theoretical and methodological assumptions embodied in the text-encoding framework recommended by the TEI. It includes a sampling of some of the history, a few of the issues, and some of the methodological assumptions, for the most part un…
Bacterial toxins and enteral feeding of premature infants at risk for necrotizing enterocolitis
Bacterial toxins and enteral feeding of premature infants at risk for necrotizing enterocolitis
Bacterial translocation and enteral feeding are factors implicated in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in the preterm infant. A cohort of 60 preterm low birth-weight (LBW) infants (600-1,600 g at birth) consecutively admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU; N = 183) were prospectively followed to evaluate the role of bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) and enteral feeding in the development of NEC. Stage I NEC was identi…
