The framing of food in Canadian university classrooms
There are numerous “positivity” movements circulating such as sex positivity and body positivity that affect how sexuality and bodies are discussed, including in educational contexts. These movements have provided alternative discourses that challenge constructions of sexualities and bodies as “dangerous”, aberrant, or “other”. There is potential for “food positivity” to do the same given how food is frequently constructed as “risky”, reflecting …
Risky Others
This review essay considers how the risk constructions of Othered groups have been reconstituted across intersecting forms of stigma, social injustice, and discrimination during COVID-19. Through three case studies – fat irresponsible bodies, racialized contagious bodies, and food/health workers who are considered risky yet essential labour – we argue that an intersectional lens be applied to the social constructions of risk to understand the soc…
Knowable
Raymond Williams influentially claimed that the history of the English novel could be organized through the problem of the “knowable community.” This keyword entry rehearses, clarifies, and extends the idea of the “knowable” in Williams's theory of the novel. I argue that the dialectical (neither entirely subjective nor entirely objective) dimension of the concept has been overlooked, with attendant consequences for the important transition betwe…
Shelter from the Storm
In her new book on the function of cynicism, Helen Small defines a positive role that cynicism can play in the liberal articulation of the very ideals and norms that cynicism affronts. She provides this “strategic cynicism” with a nineteenth-century lineage including Friedrich Nietzsche, Matthew Arnold, George Eliot, and Thomas Carlyle. This review essay identifies some problems in the concept of strategic cynicism, drawing on Hegel's understandi…
An Intersectionality-Based Policy Analysis Examining the Complexities of Access to Wild Game and Fish for Urban Indigenous Women in Northwestern Ontario
The destruction of Indigenous food systems is a direct consequence of the settler-colonial project within Canada and has led to decreasing access to Indigenous foods, disproportionate rates of food insecurity and disconnection from Indigenous food systems and environments. We interviewed Indigenous women, non-Indigenous staff of Indigenous-serving organizations, and policymakers (i.e., those who develop, interpret, or implement wild food policy) …

Safe Food, Dangerous Lands? Traditional Foods and Indigenous Peoples in Canada
There is a deep and troubling history on Turtle Island of settler authorities asserting control over traditional foods, market-based and other introduced foods for Indigenous peoples. Efforts to control Indigenous diets and bodies have resulted in direct impacts to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being of Indigenous peoples. Food insecurity is not only a symptom of settler colonialism, but part of its very architecture. The bri…
Incalculably Diffusive
There are at least three ways to approach Alicia Mireles Christoff's rich and rewarding study of the Victorian novel and object relations psychoanalysis. First of all, it is a major contribution to the criticism on George Eliot and Thomas Hardy. The book's sustained and attentive readings of The Mill on the Floss, Middlemarch, The Return of the Native, and Tess of the D'Urbervilles should be debated and discussed alongside classic scholarship lik…
Beyond Health & Nutrition
In this paper, we present findings from a community-based research project on school food environments in 50 elementary and high schools in a mid-sized city in Ontario, Canada. Our findings highlight that schools' privilege five intersecting domains in the school food environment: 1) health and nutrition; 2) food access; 3) education and food literacy; 4) environment and sustainability; and 5) the socio-cultural aspects of food. These results ill…

His primary research is about the plots of Victorian novels, especially their recogn…
The Method Effect
This essay reconsiders the connection between the narrative closure of the Sherlock Holmes stories and their ideological and scientific contexts. Previous studies have taken contemporary scientific discourse to provide Holmes with his famed method of solving crimes. I argue that said method is merely a narrative effect, nowhere carried out in the narrative structure: scientific (or other) contemporary discourse is not the “real” of literary form.…
An Intersectionality Analysis of Gender, Indigeneity, and Food Insecurity among Ultrapoor Garo Women in Bangladesh
Across a number of indicators, Indigenous women worldwide experience poorer health and less access to resources and services than either non-Indigenous women or Indigenous men. This paper is specifically concerned with Indigenous women’s experiences of food insecurity, a key determinant of health. We analyse the links between gender, indigeneity, and food insecurity among a small group of ultrapoor Indigenous Garo women in Bangladesh. We demonstr…
"Response to "Have We Gone Too Far with Resiliency
We understand that placing heavy emphasis on resiliency seemingly removes the spotlight and subsequently the blame from the factors that inflict abuse. However, to answer Dr. Davis's (2014) question, we offer our critical thinking protocol to ask questions, assess the concerns, and assert our conclusions. First, some students approach a problem by looking at social and economic injustice. They seek answers to this question: “Why are so many peopl…
Recognition or Reification
This essay examines the representational obstacles posed for narrative recognition in the realist novel by crises in capitalism, focusing on Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit (1857). Recognition scenes (Aristotle's anagnorisis ) in Victorian novels tend to model a form of subjectivity and temporality, of concealment and recovery, while capitalist crisis is radically unknowable through this same narrative epistemology. This incompatibility of recogn…
Preferences for Life-Prolonging Medical Treatments and Deference to the Will of God
Religiosity and Preferences for Life-Prolonging Medical Treatments in African-American and White Elders
Research on end-of-life treatment preferences has documented robust racial differences, with African-Americans preferring more life-prolonging treatment than Whites. Although little research has attempted to explain these racial differences systematically, speculation has centered on religiosity. We examined a dimension of religiosity frequently invoked in end-of-life research-guidance by God's will-as a potential mediator of racial differences i…
Imagining the Alternatives to Life Prolonging Treatments
Deciding for or against a life-prolonging treatment represents a choice between prolonged life and death. When the death alternative is not described, individuals must supply their own assumptions. How do people imagine the experience of dying? We asked 40 elderly people open-ended questions about dying without 4 common life-prolonging treatments, eliciting beliefs about pain, length of time, loneliness, and palliative care. Beliefs were diverse,…

Initial examination of a model of intercultural adjustment
Acute respiratory infections (ARI) in rural Bangladesh
Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are a major cause of death in children under five in rural Bangladesh. A popular strategy for lowering ARI mortality in such settings includes detecting and managing pneumonia in children at the community level. The success of programs using this approach requires a well-trained community-based cadre of health workers and the appropriate utilization of services provided. Determinants of health care seeking behav…

Motivation Needs and Their Relationship to Life Success
This article reports on a study of the relationship between motivation needs (achievement and power) and six measures of life success (status/wealth, contribution to society, professional fulfillment, family relationships, personal fulfillment, and security). Respondents were 756 full-time managerial and nonmanagerial service industry workers (439 women, 317 men) in the Southeast Florida area of the U.S. Results indicate that need for achievement…

Cylinder Seals from Palestine
This catalogue contains illustrations and descriptions of the majority of cylinder seals excavated in Palestine or acquired by the Jerusalem Museum through various channels. The material was collected before the war and the catalogue has been completed under difficulties which have made it impossible to consult all recent publications, and I am well aware of several omissions. Certain seals have been omitted because I could not locate them, other…
The Nimrud Tablets, 1952
The 62 tablets described in the catalogue which follows were excavated during the 1952 season at Nimrud. All except one come from a small complex of rooms numbered 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, on the Ziggurat terrace (site Z.T.), situated between the North West Palace and the Ziggurat; Z.T., as it now appears, actually abutted on to the north side of the palace and was founded at the same time by Aššur-naṣir-pal. The tablets were associated with a late…
Excavations at Nimrud, 1949-1953
This article is concerned with the seals and seal impressions on clay labels and business documents discovered at Nimrud during the five seasons of excavations conducted by the British School of Archaeology in Iraq, from 1949-1953. The seals, and particularly the impressions of seals on dated tablets, and a few bullae provide a valuable addition to our knowledge of the development of Assyrian seal engraving. One of the aims of this study is, of c…
Nimrud Tablets, 1956
The small group of tablets here published is the first collection of temple economic texts of the late Assyrian period to be discovered. Although therefore, the selection is limited, they are of particular interest. Except for two tablets recording gifts to the temple of land and slaves, they consist of heart-shaped dockets recording debts of grain owed to the temple. They are of the usual late Assyrian form for this kind of document, with holes …
Administrative Tablets from the North-West Palace, Nimrud
The group of tablets here published was excavated at Nimrud in 1952 in the administrative wing of the North-West palace, an area given the site name of ZT. Six tablets come from ZT.14, 16, and 17, and were found with tablets of a commercial nature dating to the later half of the 7th century B.C. The rest of the group was found in ZT.4 with the Nimrud letters. This room ceased to be used at some date not precisely determined and was filled up with…
Seals and Seal Impressions from the Nimrud Excavations, 1955-58
This is the second catalogue of seals and seal impressions found during the excavations of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq at Nimrud. The first instalment was published in Iraq XVII, Pt. 2, pp. 1955.In the last catalogue some seals were dated according to certain preliminary archaeological conclusions, which have since required modification. It is now clear that the destruction level in the North West Palace, the Town Wall Houses, Ezida…
Economic Tablets from the Temple of Mamu at Balawat
During the spring of 1957, the British School of Archaeology in Iraq carried out a second short season of excavations at Balawat, ancient Imgur-Bel. The excavation of the temple of the god Mamu was continued and to the east of the cella two small rooms were uncovered. In one of these was found a collection of forty tablets, in varying state of preservation. Of this collection I publish twenty-nine, the others being too badly preserved to give a u…
A Cappadocian Cylinder Seal
As a small contribution to the volume of Iraq in honour of Professor Sidney Smith, I offer for publication a curious cylinder seal in the Kültepe style. This contribution, although inadequate, is at least fitting, because Professor Smith is well known for his contributions in this field.The seal illustrated on Plate III is in a private collection and was bought in Beirut; it is 1.9 cms in length, and is made of haematite; glistening particles sho…
Zur Datierung des Königsfriedhofes von Ur (Hans Jörg Nissen)
In his book Zur Datierung des Königsfriedhofes von Ur (Rudolf Haibert Verlag Bonn, 1966) Nissen has re-examined the sequence dating of the Royal Cemetery of Ur and attempted to relate it to history. The archaeological analysis is necessarily based on the two great volumes written by the late Sir Leonard Woolley in 1934. This is not the first attempt of the kind, for another, unsuccessful one was made by Pallis many years ago. The fact is that the…
A Middle Assyrian Seal Impression
Everyone who worked at Nimrud will remember the regular ritual of breadmaking performed by the guard's daughter or wife, often accompanied by a dog bearing a distinct resemblance to the one in the seal impression. This makes only the most tenuous connection with the great discoveries at Nimrud of Sir Max Mallowan, in whose honour this volume is dedicated. The seal impression on Plate XXX, drawn on Fig. i,1 is on a Middle Assyrian tablet from Tell…
A Multidisciplinary Geriatric Unit for the Psychiatrically Impaired in Bellevue Hospital Center
A 1968 ruling by the N.Y. State Department of Mental Hygiene refusing admission to nonpsychotic persons 65 and over, traditionally given custodial care by the state mental hospitals, left the communities, cities, and towns without resources to handle the problem. The ruling was implemented prior to any planning or funding for alternative facilities. The article describes a multidisciplmary Geriatric Unit established at Bellevue Hospital Center (P…
Cylinder Seals from Tell al Rimah
This is a catalogue of the cylinder seals and jar sealings from the excavations at Tell al Rimah during the years 1964–1971. Theresa Carter is publishing a complete catalogue of the small finds, in which the few early stamp seals will be included. The seal impressions on the Middle Assyrian business economic archive published by H. W. F. Saggs and D. J. Wiseman in Iraq 30 (1968) will be published later in one group, as there are too many for this…
Middle Assyrian Seal Impressions from Tell al Rimah
The cylinder seals and some impressions from the excavations at Tell al Rimah were published in Iraq 37 (1965). There remained for publication the seal impressions on the business documents dating to the thirteenth century B.C., all of which appear to belong to one archive. They were published by H. W. F. Saggs, D. J. Wiseman and Nicholas Postgate in Iraq 30 (1968), 154 ff. During a month's visit to Baghdad in 1973 I photographed as many impressi…

Some Consequences of Manipulating Testing Procedures in a Course Using a Personalized System of Instruction
The number of text alternatives in a Personalized System of Instruction were increased from two to three for text modules, and from one to two for film and tape modules. In addition, all tests were standardized at 10 items. Findings were that many students used the first text exam as a study guide; the film and tape data were comparable to previous years. Course implications were discussed

Severity of Illness Index and the Adverse Patient Occurrence Index
Seven hundred fifty-two randomly selected charts from seven teaching hospitals were rated by pairs of medical record analysts. The Severity of Illness Index was unreliable with an interrater-agreement rate of 73% (kappa statistic = 0.41), and demonstrated a significant (P less than 0.0001) association with the Adverse Patient Occurrence (APO) Index. This suggests that the Severity of Illness Index is not differentiating severity of illness from q…

A Generational and Sex-Based View of Managerial Work Values
In a study of 252 managers' work values for those born during the US baby-boom of 1946–64 and those born before the baby-boom were compared; sex differences also were examined. The most important work value in both groups is accomplishment, but significant differences between groups suggest that baby-boom managers—regardless of sex—base their belief systems more on humanistic/moralistic values than do prebaby-boom managers whose values are more t…
Effects of Generation and Sex on Dimensions of Life Success
Six dimensions of life success were assessed for three generations of U.S. working women and men: those under 26 years, those born between 1946–1964 (the baby-boom), and people over 43 years. Some generational differences were noted among the 716 people studied, but sex appeared to be a better predictor of life success scores than did age The sex gap may be closing for the youngest group of workers

Beyond the Vote
Although the advantages of centralized administration are considerable, the pathologies of over-centralized political systems are evinced by the Balkanization pressures that have recently erupted worldwide. When the locus of regulatory control passes from local agencies to a distant central authority, small societies often develop crippling organizational dependencies on higher-order systems whose goals may be alien and irrelevant to local needs …
