The silent grief of grandmothers after an out-of-order death—An interpretative phenomenological analysis
This study delves into the lived experiences of grandmothers grappling with grief following the "out-of-order" death of a child, child-in-law, or grandchild, using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis grounded in the Dual Process Model-Revised. With 70% of U.S. adults over 65 being grandparents, the research highlights their often-invisible role as both grievers and caregivers amid family loss. Findings reveal three key themes: navigating …

Small Socialism
During the early 1950s the Federative Peoples Republic of Yugoslavia underwent a series of radical politico-economic reforms that created the system of socialist self-management. Although scholars have long acknowledged that these reforms liberalized the field of cultural production, the precise ways in which self-management shaped Yugoslav culture during this period remains under-examined. Drawing from Daniel Immerwahr's concept of "thinking sma…
Choreographing the liturgy
This is a study of a process of architectural analysis on Gillespie, Kidd & Coia (1927–1987), an architectural practice often famed for their original approach, especially for their longstanding client, the Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow. It is primarily concerned with the results of their approach over many years; of the effects or trends apparent in their work as an oeuvre, rather than with their initial architectural intentions; and builds on…
Communism as Religious Phenomenon
Between the years 1927 and 1942 the Slovene Catholic socialist, Edvard Kocbek, developed a political philosophy that drew on biocentric and phenomenological concepts to promote a project of social revolution and spiritual renewal. This philosophy underpinned his eventual involvement in the anti-fascist partisan struggle of WWII. Through an excavation of Kocbek's interwar thought, this article highlights the breadth of phenomenology's political ap…
Policy and regulatory implications of the new frontier of forensic genomics
Law enforcement is moving from targeted forensic DNA analysis to more extensive use of genomics in support of criminal investigations and for related purposes, such as the identification of human remains. The field of forensic genomics is data-driven and will continue to evolve as new capabilities are developed and new datasets are made accessible. Intelligence capabilities using forensic genomics include the prediction of externally visible char…
Joseph Grim Feinberg, The paradox of authenticity
Th is text looks at the early Communist intellectual movement in Slovakia (in an area that, for part of the time under discussion, was affi liated with the the Hungarian Soviet Republic) organized around the journal Kassai Munkás (Th e Košice Worker).By placing this movement in the context of the development of Western Marxism and the incipient Marxist aesthetics of György Lukács, who was among those who published in the journal, the paper charac…
The unequal vulnerability of communities of color to wildfire
Globally, environmental disasters impact billions of people and cost trillions of dollars in damage, and their impacts are often felt most acutely by minority and poor communities. Wildfires in the U.S. have similarly outsized impacts on vulnerable communities, though the ethnic and geographic distribution of those communities may be different than for other hazards. Here, we develop a social-ecological approach for characterizing fire vulnerabil…
Navigating the Postwar Liberal Order
Between the years 1949 and 1953 the leaders of the Federative People's Republic of Yugoslavia embarked on a series of radical social and economic reforms that restructured state–society relations in line with a decentralized, participatory model of socialism. “Self-management socialism,” as this system became known, served to harmonize local revolutionary ambitions with the embedded liberalism of the postwar international order into which Yugosla…
Literature, revolution, and national aesthetics on the interwar Yugoslav left
The interwar years are relatively understudied by intellectual historians of Eastern Europe. This is especially true of the study of the region’s radical left-wing cultures, where attention has tended to focus on the Marxist revisionists of the post-war decades. As a period typically identified with political repression and economic crisis, the years following the end of World War I and the outbreak of World War II are assumed to hold little inte…

Imagining the Balkans as a Space of Revolution
Between the years 1870 and 1914, leftist intellectuals in the Kingdom of Serbia theorized and promoted a project of Balkan Federation as a strategic priority in the social, economic, and political transformation of the region. This article offers a genealogy of these federalist ideas and places them in dialogue with rival projects of regional unification in the Balkans and Eastern Europe during the long nineteenth century. It begins by developing…
Modernity, Tradition, and the State in Early Soviet History
The question of the historical nature of the Soviet state and its place in existing typologies of modern state power has been an ongoing topic of debate among historians of the Soviet Union. In par
Island Time
The Great Blank Space Beyond the Wall
Written seven years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, as the shockwaves of the Yugoslav wars still reverberated through the continent, Ugrešić’s essays spoke to a period of European history in which the West's lack of familiarity with the East was particularly marked. In part owing to this Western incomprehension, the period of the 1990s were a rich one for theoretical discussions within the field of Eastern European Studies, as scholars sharing…

Rewriting Dr. No in 1962
“Rewriting Dr. No” reappraises the unexpected success of the first James Bond film and its depictions of colonial Jamaica just prior to independence. Recasting Ian Fleming's novel into a film prompted rewritings and alterations. Some reflect the transition to a script; others, and particularly the addition of a CIA agent to the cast, mark wider shifts as Britain's imperial presence came to an end. The choices made on how Jamaicans were depicted, …
Gender Transition Services for Hijras and Other Male-to-Female Transgender People in India
This qualitative investigation explored access to and use of gender transition services by hijras and other male-to-female transgender people in the public and private hospitals in 7 Indian cities. We conducted 7 focus groups (n = 42 participants) and 30 in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of hijras/transpeople and 22 key informant interviews with service providers. Findings reveal a near-absence of gender transition services in public ho…
Eighteenth‐Century J amaica's Ambivalent Cosmopolitanism
Eighteenth‐century J amaica's brutal society appears inimical to the values that the E nlightenment promoted, yet E nlightenment‐era scientific inquiry, printing and some self‐critical debates took place in the island's towns. Sugar‐profits could fund books and instruments. J amaica's eighteenth‐century towns sustained a social life that allowed wider aspects of E nlightenment‐era cosmopolitanism to take root. In these transient societies ‘ordina…

Get it right the first time”
This article examines a number of critical issues associated with the collection of forensic evidence at the crime scene. It argues that the crime scene is one of the most crucial aspects of an investigation and that the scene of the crime is where good forensic science begins. The article begins by demonstrating that high quality and useful evidence leading to accurate and fair criminal justice outcomes can only occur if the scene is processed e…
Should Forensic Science Services be Independent of Policing? A Critical Reflection
The organisational arrangements that connect forensic science and police organisations vary across different countries. At an institutional and governance level, a key debate in the international context has been, and continues to be, the extent to which forensic services should, or should not, be located within police departments. This comment will adopt a historical and comparative perspective to critically identify, and address, the key issues…
An Essay concerning Slavery
An anonymous pamphlet about slavery from mid eighteenth-century Jamaica adopted unexpected arguments. It offered radical suggestions for reforming the practice of slaveholding in a militarily vulnerable colony prone to slave plots and revolts. A dialogue format allowed its author to discuss a number of remedies, in the hope that a reasoned case could persuade the Ministry in London to act, rescuing the colonials from themselves by pushing Parliam…
High‐resolution mapping of the world's reservoirs and dams for sustainable river‐flow management
Despite the recognized importance of reservoirs and dams, global datasets describing their characteristics and geographical distribution are largely incomplete. To enable advanced assessments of the role and effects of dams within the global river network and to support strategies for mitigating ecohydrological and socioeconomic costs, we introduce here the spatially explicit and hydrologically linked Global Reservoir and Dam database (GRanD). As…

Trading Territories
Offering an account of the status of maps and geographical knowledge in the Early Modern world, this work focuses on how early European geographers mapped the territories of the Old World (Africa and South-East Asia). It contends that the historical preoccupation with Columbus's discovery of the New World in 1492 has tended to obscure the importance of the mapping of territories which have been defined as eastern. The author places the rise of Ea…

Reckoning with London
Early modern Londoners had access to weekly reports on the numbers of deaths. These weekly ‘books of death’ that the Parish Clerks' Company compiled provided the base for a city-wide system whereby the number of deaths in every parish was reported to the Lord Mayor and the monarch. Under James and Charles royal interest led to the extension of the parishes listed in the Bills of Mortality to cover the wider metropolis while readers developed stra…

The Hoare-Laval Plan
A common view of the Hoare-Laval affair runs as follows: the National Government headed by Stanley (later Lord) Baldwin did not really want to apply a League of Nations oil sanction against Italy or seriously oppose Mussolini's venture into Ethiopia. Following a General Election in November 1935, Sir Samuel Hoare (later Lord Templewood) in his dealings with Pierre Laval, the French Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, during early December expan…

The 2011 Scottish Election
Did ever an election campaign as lacking in excitement as the Scottish parliamentary campaign of 2011 produce a more astonishing result? Perhaps, but I can't recall one. Nor, already, can I recall much from this election that is truly memorable apart, that is, from some of the declarations, various postcount reproductions of the new political map of Scotland, almost entirely yellow from top to bottom, and of course the overall result. From the ca…

They are given to the public now in the hope that they will be no mean or uninteresting addition to the volumes of Oriental Marchen already in existence. The Philippine archipelago, from the very nature of its geographical position and its political history, cannot but be a significant field to the student …

Giving Directions in Spanish Town, Jamaica
Travelers' descriptions of colonial and tropical towns were frequently dismissive. Asking how residents in such towns understood the streets they knew offers alternative perspectives. The contrasts between European expectations and local practices were particularly abrupt in Jamaica, where its English conquerors had reused the former Spanish capital. Alongside their familiarity with creole architecture, residents oriented themselves by where stre…
