Mendacity, Rule Consequentialist Ethics and The Ploughman's Lunch
This article examines Ian McEwan's script for director Richard Eyre's film, The Ploughman's Lunch (1983), the title of which alludes to a deceptive, post-World War II advertising campaign that promulgated a false narrative about British tradition. McEwan's script, and Eyre's film adaptation of it, offer a prescient exposé of Britain's culture of mendacity in the 1980s in ways that draw on rule-consequentialist ethics to maintain that lying on the…

The Shaman, the Greengrocer, and “Living in Truth”
This article turns to Havel’s contemporaries in the Czech music underground to look at earlier uses of the phrase “living in truth.” I focus on Egon Bondy’s 1976 novel The Shaman, where truth is portrayed in mystical terms as a form of transcendence achieved through solitary spiritual training—a mental state that is divorced from political opposition.

In the late 1970s, when Czech intellectuals, writers, and artists drafted Charter 77 and called on their government to respect human rights, they hesitated to name themselves “dissidents.” Thei…
East-Central European Literatures Twenty Years After

Where English translations of the works in question are available, they are listed in a bibliograph…
The Third Presence: A Psychiatrist's Experience of Working with Non-English Speaking Patients and Interpreters
Communicating therapeutically with patients who do not share the same language as the clinician is a problem that is likely to increase as healthcare workers attempt to provide more and better services to immigrants and refugees. Based on participant observation, this article considers how working with patients who do not share the doctor's language, and the 'third presence' of an interpreter, influence three core tasks of a healing performance: …
