Epistemological Decolonization through a Relational Knowledge-Making Model
This article argues for epistemic decolonization by developing a relational model of knowledge, which we locate within indigenous knowledges. We live in a time of ongoing global, epistemic coloniality, embedded in and shaped by colonial ideas and practices. Epistemological decolonization requires taking nondominant knowledges and their epistemes seriously to open up the possibility of interrogating and dismantling the hegemony of the Western know…
Cinema in Extremis: Mount Everest and the Poetics of Monumentality
Two British attempts to climb Mount Everest cosponsored by the Royal Geographical Society and the Alpine Club in the 1920s, equipped with motion-picture cameras, telescopic lenses, and filters, promised to elevate Britain's reputation within international mountaineering circles, as well as claim victory for machine and humanity in extreme altitude. This essay examines how ideas of monumentality circulate textually and discursively in the two exta…
On the brink of Armageddon? Climate change, the archaeological record and human activity across the Bronze Age–Iron Age transition in Ireland
Palaeoclimatic proxies from records in northwest Europe evidence a climatic deterioration, known as the '2.8 ka Event', which broadly coincided with the transition from Later Bronze Age to Iron Age in Ireland. This Bronze Age-Iron Age transition in Ireland has been invoked in various hypotheses concerning the relationship between environmental and cultural change. This paper offers a brief review of contrasting archaeological interpretations of t…

The Politics of Dwelling: Being White / Being South African
This paper explores the incongruence between white South Africans’ pre- and post-apartheid experiences of home and identity, of which a wave of emigration is arguably a result. Among the commonest reasons given for emigrating are crime and affirmative action; however, this paper uncovers a deeper motivation for emigration using Charles Taylor’s concept of the social imaginary and Martin Heidegger’s concept of dwelling. The skewed social imaginary…

Euripides' Herakles and the Pursuit of Immortality
The argument of this paper is that the child figures in Euripides' Herakles provide important clues to the fundamental 'meaning' of the play. A sustained configuration of motifs linking Herakles' children to the figure of Kerberos is discussed as a central structural feature, augmented by detailed use of specific vocabulary. By removing the dog from Hades, Herakles provided Hera with an excuse to cloak her attack in the language of legal procedur…
Reflections on risk in child protection: Is it time for a shift in paradigms
Approaches to risk assessment and management in child protection have been developed largely within an objectivist paradigm and this has led to an emphasis on prediction, control and culpability. This paper argues that the objectivist paradigm has failed to provide valid and reliable measures of risk and has replaced a focus on the subject (the individual) with a one‐sided focus on objectified risk factors. Because of these limitations, it is arg…
