Manti kakon: The Uncanny Prophecies of Calchas in the Iliad and Beyond
This article examines the practice of prophecy, delivered both through interpretation of signs and direct (enthusiastic) means, and how this practice relates to the uncanny. It discusses the relation of Freud's “The Uncanny,” along with Julia Kristeva's theory of abjection, in reference to both what is known of ancient practice and how this is presented in ancient epic and reception texts. The key focus is Calchas, the prophet of the Iliad, and h…
Widening HE participation in the arts: Impacts of an access module on learner preparedness
Despite the plethora of research on widening participation in the last 20 years, access to the arts and humanities has remained relatively under-explored, especially in relation to the preparedness of adult learners. This article reports a case study investigating the impact of an arts and languages Access module at the UK Open University. Findings from interviews with 37 Access students were analysed in relation to four themes: the need for Acce…
Silchester Roman Town Insula IX: The Development of an Urban Property c. AD 40-50 - c. AD 250
The development of an urban property in the Roman town of Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester, Hampshire, England) is traced from the late 1st to the mid-3rd century AD. Three successive periods of building with their associated finds of artefacts and biological remains are described and interpreted with provisional reconstructions of the buildings. Links are provided to a copy of the Integrated Archaeological Database (IADB), archived by the Archaeolo…
Age and Perceptual‐motor Transfer in Imbeciles: Task Complexity as a Variable
Earlier work with imbecile subjects suggested a relation between low chronological age and amount of transfer, in the manner suggested by McGeoch and Hebb. It remained possible, however, that adults were nearer their ultimate limits and had benefited from the transfer processes earlier in life. It was necessary therefore to evolve a method enabling a fair comparison to be made between children and adults. Task complexity was thus adjusted either …
Perceptual‐motor Transfer in Imbeciles: A Second Series of Experiments
Earlier experiments tested a hypothesis derived from Hebb, that perceptual‐motor transfer would be negatively correlated with age in imbecile subjects of 9, 17 and 23 years. On four tasks this hypothesis was strongly confirmed, with the youngest showing massive transfer of training compared with the older subjects, and almost reaching adult level. The present series of experiments included tasks of greater complexity. An unexpected finding was th…
Age and Perceptual‐motor Transfer in Imbeciles
During the last decade, interest in the psychology of imbeciles has been revived. A number of studies have shown that the limits to their learning, though considerable, are by no means so profound as had been estimated, and certain practical and theoretical principles have been formulated; some of these have a bearing on general theories of learning. The present experiment tests a hypothesis, derived from Hebb's theories, that perceptual‐motor tr…
