Showcasing the international atom: The IAEA Bulletin as a visual science diplomacy instrument, 1958–1962
When the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) began operations in 1958, one of its first routine tasks was to create and circulate a brief non-technical periodical. This article analyses the creation of the IAEA Bulletin and its circulation during its first years. It finds that diplomatic imperatives both in IAEA leadership circles and in the networks outside them shaped the form and appearance of the bulletin. In the hands of the IAEA's Div…
Introduction: Power to the image! Science, technology and visual diplomacy
This special issue explores the power that images with a techno-scientific content can have in international relations. As we introduce the articles in the collection, we highlight how the study of this influence extends current research in the separate (but increasingly interacting) domains of history of science and technology, and political science. We then show how images of different types (photographs, cartoons and plots) can inform inter-st…
Social Justice Through Sport and Exercise Studies: A Manifesto
This manifesto reimagines social justice in physical cultural studies by renaming, broadening, and building new characterizations of the body, dis/ability, mental health, exercise, social oppression, and sport. We problematize embedded 'myths' in exercise and sports studies scholarship for purposes of informing praxis-based research, and emancipatory practical agendas. These 'myths' include the embodied tragedy myth, the myth of bodily control, t…
‘Move it or lose it’: Perceptions of the impact of physical activity on multiple sclerosis symptoms, relapse and disability identity
This study explores the roles which individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) ascribe to physical activity (PA). PA is becoming more heavily promoted by health care providers to individuals with MS due to the evidence of improved health outcomes with PA participation. However, there are possible negative outcomes with the medicalisation of PA (e.g. increased guilt over inactivity, constrained views of PA) that may be compounded by the uncertain na…
Peut-on faire une histoire nucléaire du Maroc: Le Maroc, l’Afrique et l’énergie nucléaire
Près de soixante-dix réacteurs nucléaires sont actuellement en construction pour la production d’électricité dans le monde. Il n’y en a aucun en Afrique. Une seule centrale nucléaire existe en Afrique du Sud. Si l’Afrique a connu de nombreux projets de développement de l’énergie nucléaire, et encore plus de programmes de recherche et d’extraction d’uranium, elle n’a guère bénéficié directement de cette énergie. Cet article examine le cas du Maroc…
Teach-ins as Performance Ethnography: Athletes’ Social Activism in North American Sport
On November 9, 2015, the president and chancellor at the University of Missouri resigned in response to protests and threat of the football team's boycott (Svrluga, 2015). The unrest and racial disharmony that surfaced at Mizzou had been building for years and, in fact, has been evidenced since on many other campuses across the United States (Gross, 2015). In this article, we use performance ethnography (Denzin, 2003) to demonstrate social activi…
Les liaisons dangereuses: Resource surveillance, uranium diplomacy and secret French–American collaboration in 1950s Morocco
This study explores the origins and consequences of a unique, secret, French–American collaboration to prospect for uranium in 1950s Morocco. This collaboration permitted mediation between the United States and France. The appearance of France in an American-supported project for raw nuclear materials signalled American willingness to accept a new nuclear global order in which the French assumed a new, higher position as regional nuclear ally as …
