Contested Waters
Indigenous communities in Canada are disproportionately affected by unsafe and insecure water systems. While inadequate federal funding and regulatory gaps have been identified as key barriers to the provision of safe drinking water on reserves, much less attention has been paid to the ways in which water quality risks are defined and managed by state actors, and the consequences of these rationalities and technologies of regulation for Indigenou…
Public discourse and wilful incommensurability
Many thinkers lament the decline of liberal democracy. Some argue that, to rejuvenate it, we must think big. Thinking big involves generating new ideas about how to achieve an unprecedented level of social transformation aimed at cultivating solidarity, empowering citizen efficacy, and promoting the common good. We propose that fundamental to such a transformation must be a radical change in how people speak to one another. To this end, the prima…
The Roman Emperor and his Court c. 30 BC–c. AD 300
At the centre of the Roman empire stood the emperor and the court surrounding him. The systematic investigation of this court in its own right, however, has been a relatively late development in the field of Roman history, and previous studies have focused on narrowly defined aspects or on particular periods of Roman history. This book makes a major contribution to understanding the history of the Roman imperial court. The first volume presents n…
Roman Emperor and His Court C. 30 BC-C. AD 300
Introduction
This introduction discusses the kinds of evidence available for the study of the Roman imperial court and the kinds of historical knowledge of the court that are possible.
The Imperial Palaces on the Palatine Hill
This chapter traces the architectural development of the imperial palaces in Rome, with emphasis on the Flavian palace. The imperial residences in Rome show us how power and stratification were embodied in architecture; they also tell us something about social practices within the imperial court. The chapter sets the background by examining the residence of Augustus, which was an assemblage of aristocratic houses adjacent to a sacred area, and Ne…
Court Relationships
The selection of literary, epigraphic, and papyrological sources presented in this chapter illustrates the key categories of courtier at the Roman imperial court, and the relationships of courtiers with each other and with the emperor. Categories of courtier include: the emperor’s friends ( amici principis ); his advisors; poets, writers, and other cultural figures; members of the imperial family; domestic workers; astrologers; the emperor’s sexu…
Conceptualizing the Roman Court
There were several Latin and Greek terms that roughly correlated with our concept of ‘court’, including aula , palatium , and (from the late third century) comitatus. Roman authors were also capable of making generalizations about their court as an entity, many of them moralizing and negative, but some of them panegyrical. This conceptual framework regarding the court was partly inherited from the Hellenistic world. This chapter presents a select…
Administration, Finances, and the Court
This chapter examines the place within the court of the imperial secretaries and the workers in their bureaux. It first considers social connections between the servile workers in the bureaux and court domestic staff. Following this, the major imperial secretaryships are examined: the offices of ab epistulis , a libellis , a cognitionibus , a commentariis , a memoria , a studiis , a censibus , and a rationibus , as well as their late third-centur…

Scalable modEls of Community rehAbilitation for Individuals Recovering From Covid
Introduction: High levels of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial impairments are anticipated for those recovering from the COVID-19. In the UK, ~50% of survivors will require additional rehabilitation. Despite this, there is currently no evidence-based guideline available in England and Wales that addresses the identification, timing and nature of effective interventions to manage the morbidity associated following COVID-19. It is now timely to…

Agnostic Interactionism and Sensitizing Concepts in the 21st Century
In this paper, we reflect upon our experiences taking a graduate qualitative methodology course with Dr. William (Billy) Shaffir. We highlight Billy’s approach to ethnographic research and his declaration to “just do it.” Rather than just absorbing theoretical knowledge from the literature, Billy taught us to be wary of the dangers of a prior theorization and how it can distort rather than shed light on empirical investigations. Despite his bel…
Security in Roman Times
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS 183 not only the Christianizing lens that is cast aside: republican antiquarian writers, too, are considered to provide misleading evidence, especially when they connect the Lares with the underworld. Instead, the book proposes to draw its conclusions by gathering references to the gods found in texts ranging from comedy and Cato’s De Agricultura to Pompeian graffiti and combining them with various kinds of material ev…
The Managed Heart Revisited
This article examines the emotional culture of flight attendants thirty-two years after Hochschild's (1983) study, The Managed Heart. Using data collected by participant observation and informal interviews, we argue that flight attendants are empowered by post-9/11 institutional changes in security policies and as a result are using more discretion in how they perform courteous emotional labor. We put forward two interrelated concepts-the "9/11 e…
Interpretive Sociology
Interpretive sociology, at heart, embraces the principle that social life is subjective and that those who systematically study social life should attend to how people make sense and interpret their social world, actions, and identities. Inspired by Max Weber, it has influenced the emergence of symbolic interactionism and ethnomethodology, among other hermeneutically focused sociological paradigms. Interpretive sociologists often employ ethnograp…
From Total Institution to Status Bloodbath
Erving Goff man has not only had a huge impact upon his home discipline of sociology but may be its most cited, as well as best known member ever. Nevertheless, Goff man continues to be heavily criticized by his fellow sociologists for his allegedly undecipherable and sloppy methods for conducting empirical research and constructing and accumulating general theory. We demonstrate here that while some of his specific practices were intuitive and u…

Stockholm Syndrome as Vernacular Resource
First coined in 1973 to describe a pathological response on the part of individuals involved in kidnapping or hostage-taking situations, the label “Stockholm syndrome” has since been used in a much broader range of contexts including reference to wife battering and human trafficking, and in debates about gender and race politics as well as international relations. Tracing the domain expansion of Stockholm syndrome since the 1970s, we examine how …
Conclusions
This chapter concludes the book by providing an overall evaluation of the impact of petitioning and litigation on social control in Roman Egypt. It also discusses the limitations of our evidence, and suggests that the social historian of petitioning and litigation in this society is mostly limited to typological rather than quantitative analysis.
Legal Control in Roman Egypt
This chapter argues that the structural features and ideological context of the legal system of Roman Egypt made it unlikely that many petitions would have ended in firm judgments which were then successfully enforced. This was the consequence of an overly complicated legal system, which had a large number of adjudicative officials with substantially overlapping jurisdictions. The system was prone to delays and open to abuse and obfuscation by li…
Vexatious and Vexing Litigation
This chapter examines the use of the legal process for vexatious purposes, and the cases in which petitioning and litigation served to escalate rather than ameliorate existing disputes. It begins by examining the discourse of ‘vexatious litigation’ in the papyrological evidence. It then looks at the question of delation, arguing that this is only rarely evidenced, and connected mostly with cases which had a fiscal element and/or were relevant to …
Petitions, Litigation, and Social Control in Roman Egypt
This book examines the contribution that petitioning and litigation made to the maintenance of the social order in Roman Egypt (30 BC-AD 284). It does this by exploiting the many hundreds of legal documents surviving on papyrus, especially petitions, reports of court proceedings, and letters. The book focuses partly on how the legal system achieved its formal goals (that is, the resolution of disputes through judgments). But it also looks in deta…

Deviant ancient histories
Polemical works attacking fringe versions of the ancient past tend to be characterized by extreme positivism and a lack of reflexivity. It is rare to find polemics written for a popular audience by those of other methodological persuasions, for instance by 'practical realists' or deconstructionists. In explaining this fact, I examine some of the salient topoi in the polemical works attacking the outlandish theories of Dan Brown and Erich von Däni…

Political Ideologies in the Legal Realm
This chapter is concerned with the impact of the legal system at the level of political ideology. The spectacle of the courtroom and the rhetoric of administrators served to reinforce the majesty and terror of the state. The rhetorical features of petitions also had ideological messages. These include: discourses concerning legal rationality and the rule of law; an image of officials (especially high officials) as euergetai (benefactors); and sta…
Who Used the Justice System?
This chapter discusses the economic status and ethnicity of petitioners and litigants. A good number of people of high and middling economic status appear as petitioners and litigants, and there is no reason to believe that any of the major ethnic groups of the province avoided the justice system as a rule. Nevertheless, the very poor seem to be underrepresented as petitioners and litigants. The costs of petitioning and litigation perhaps deterre…
