Negotiating Change in Recent Southeast Asian Art

Pesticides, pollution and the UK's silent spring, 1963–1964
Despite being characterized as ‘one of the worst agricultural accidents in Britain in the 1960s’, the ‘Smarden incident’ has never been subjected to a complete historical analysis. In 1963, a toxic waste spill in Kent coincided with the publication of the British edition of Rachel Carson's Silent spring. This essay argues that these events combined to ‘galvanize’ nascent toxic and environmental consciousness. A seemingly parochial toxic waste inc…
From the Other Side of the Ocean
A decade ago, John McNeill provided an impressive set of reflections on the state of environmental history. Practitioners within the field could not help but feel ebullient about the diverse and vibrant intellectual activity surrounding the study of reciprocal relationships between humanity and the rest of the natural world across time and space. McNeill’s assessment of Canadian contributions was less encouraging, however, as he noted, ‘‘Canadian…
The science of John Lubbock
Non peer reviewed
Christopher C. Sellers, Crabgrass Crucible
John Lubbock, science, and the liberal intellectual
John Lubbock's longest-standing scientific research interest was entomology. Some of his earliest systematic investigations of insect and marine life began under the tutelage of Darwin. Darwin shaped the trajectory of, and the programme for, Lubbock's natural history work. However, to understand John Lubbock's identity as a scientist, he must be located within the context of the Victorian 'intellectual'. This paper traces Lubbock's entomological …
The incineration of refuse is beautiful
In the last decade of the nineteenth century, the English seaside and health resort of Torquay abandoned its old practice of municipal waste tipping and invested in a destructor, or incinerator. Technical, legal and financial considerations lay behind this decision. The ensuing protests against the operation of the destructor highlight the tensions between nascent technocrats and the affected residents. At a time when pollution was most often dis…
History from the Ground Up
William Kirby and William Spence's Introduction to Entomology is generally recognized as one of the founding texts of entomological science in English. This essay examines the ideological allegiances of the coauthors of the Introduction. In particular, it analyzes the ideological implications of their divergent opinions on animal instinct. Different vocational pursuits shaped each man's natural history. Spence, a political economist, pursued fact…

The complete biography of every animal
The ants were duly visited’
Much ink has been spilt in consideration of the once pervasive reliance on military metaphors to depict the relationships between science and religion in the nineteenth century. This has resulted in historically sensitive treatments of secularization; and the realization that the relationship between science and religion was not a bloody war between intellectual nation states, but a protracted divorce of former partners. Moreover, historians of s…
Eleanor Ormerod (1828–1901) as an economic entomologist
In 1924, Virginia Woolf wrote a short story based upon the life of Eleanor Ormerod. A wealthy spinster, Ormerod achieved notoriety in late nineteenth-century Britain as an economic entomologist. In 1904, Nature compared her to Caroline Herschel and Mary Somerville. In terms of recent scholarship devoted to the history of women in science, Ormerod's career differed markedly from that of her two predecessors. The emotional or intellectual support o…
