Justice for Hamlet
Hamlet’s delay has troubled audiences and scholars for centuries. Psychological explanations abound but rarely recognize that Hamlet’s delay raises questions about justice. How do questions of crime and justice in Hamlet relate to the nascent system of criminal justice in Elizabethan England? This article contends that Hamlet’s delay dramatizes due process in criminal justice proceedings—making Hamlet less of a revenge tragedy and more of a trage…
Sigma Alpha Elsinore
Claudius likes to party—a bit too much. He frequently binge drinks, is arguably an alcoholic, but is not an aberration. Hamlet says that Denmark is internationally known for heavy drinking. That’s what Shakespeare would have heard in the sixteenth century. By the seventeenth, English writers feared that Denmark had taught their own nation its drinking habits. Synthesizing criticism on alcoholism as an individual problem in Shakespeare’s texts and…
The Meaning of Death in Shakespeare’s Hamlet
The “common theme” of nature, Color versions of one or more of the figures in the article can be found online at www.tandfonline.com/vanq.Claudius says in Hamlet, is “death of fathers” (1.2.103–04)
Shakespeare and Trump
"Shakespeare and Trump examines associations between Shakespeare's work and recent US politics, especially the presidency and character of President Donald Trump"
Horatio as Author: Storytelling and Stoic Tragedy in Hamlet
Tragic Foundationalism
This essay puts the modern philosopher Alain Badiou's theory of foundationalism into dialogue with the early modern playwright William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Doing so reveals a new candidate for Hamlet's traditionally hard-to-define hamartia—his "tragic mistake"—while providing an opportunity to theorize the notion of tragic foundationalism
The Hamlet Syndrome
Bringing together legal, literary, and cultural studies, this article builds from a close reading of madness in William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet to some psycho-social theories of malingering and the insanity defense in the modern United States. The basis of these theories is the notion that feigned madness – whether purposeful malingering or a failed insanity defense – often signifies actual madness of a lesser sort. When someone is found to be …
Predicted Probabilities' Relationship to Inclusion Probabilities
It has been shown that under a general multiplicative intercept model for risk, case-control (retrospective) data can be analyzed by maximum likelihood as if they had arisen prospectively, up to an unknown multiplicative constant, which depends on the relative sampling fraction. 1 With suitable auxiliary information, retrospective data can also be used to estimate response probabilities. 2 In other words, predictive probabilities obtained without…
School Gardens as Sites for Forging Progressive Socioecological Futures
In this article we approach school gardens as sites of socioecological change where experiential politics work through the establishment of sustainable and socially just practices. We argue that for some children in “struggling schools,” school gardens become spaces where the alienating aspects of neoliberal school reform in the United States can be overcome by forging connections with classmates, university students, plants, and animals. In thes…
Concrete connections? Articulation, homology and the political geography of boundary walls
Scholarly and activist discourses alike have invoked a homology between walling practices along the US / M exico border and in occupied Palestine. Such discourses often rely on visual/rhetorical manoeuvres to assert equivalence between distinct sites, technologies and practices. Often, this equivalence then enables the collapsing of difference into what we describe as the ‘global security’ paradigm, one that represents a multiplicity of governmen…
Shakespeare and criminology
This paper suggests that Shakespeare’s plays offer an embryonic version of criminology, and that they remain a valuable resource for the field, both a theoretical and a pedagogical resource. On the one hand, for criminology scholars, Shakespeare can open up new avenues of theoretical consideration, for the criminal events depicted in his plays reflect complex philosophical debates about crime and justice, making interpretations of those events in…
Statistics at the Forefront of Public Health Analysis and Reporting
In this article the author discusses the challenges that can be associated with interpreting statistics and discusses the journal's focus on the correct interpretation of public health statistics. In the article he offers guidelines on correct research methodology and offers his opinions on research methods and ethics
It's About Time: Team-Based Editing at the American Journal of Public Health
Public health researchers and practitioners seek to expeditiously publish their findings to share them with the scientific and practice communities, thereby informing the public and advancing public health. In this information age, authors benefit from ever-evolving technology that permits electronic submission of papers at portals around the globe. A corollary is that an ever-increasing multitude of papers now arrive at the American Journal of P…
Auricular Acupuncture, Education, and Smoking Cessation: A Randomized, Sham-Controlled Trial
Objectives. This study examined the effect of acupuncture alone and in combination with education on smoking cessation and cigarette consumption. Methods. We prospectively studied 141 adults in a quasi-factorial design using acupuncture, sham acupuncture, and education. Results. All groups showed significant reductions in smoking and posttreatment cigarette consumption, with the combined acupuncture–education group showing the greatest effect fro…
Environmental Influences on Adolescent Educational Aspirations: A Logistic Transform Model
Hierarchical Models for Cross-Classified Overdispersed Multinomial Data
When a vector of sample proportions is not obtained through a simple random sampling, the covariance matrix for the sample vector can differ substantially from the one corresponding to the multinomial model (Wilson 1989). For example, clustering effects of subject effects in repeated-measure experiments can cause the variance of the observed proportions to be much larger than variances under the multinomial model. The phenomenon is generally refe…
