How to Value a Migration
Forget, for the moment, everything that has been written about Willis Jenkins's “Migrations of the Sacred,” and focus instead on the first word in his title: migrations. What associations come to mind when migration is mentioned? I hear the word and picture distant roads along which people carry their belongings, border fencing that stretches across open landscapes, neighborhoods and businesses patrolled by masked agents, and political figures wh…
Integral Ecology As Theosemiotic
This essay avers a relatively narrow claim. This is that the theosemiotic project of Michael Raposa is an ideal vehicle for addressing a concern about the integral ecology of Pope Francis, which is that one of integral ecology's signature phrases, the “cry of the Earth,” is insufficiently clear on how humans can understand, respect, and respond to the agency of non-human nature. This claim exists alongside another, broader claim, which at present…

No automation please, we’re British
This article assesses the impact and probably limits of automation. It looks, in particular, at the case of the UK economy. The prospects for automation are seen as necessarily uncertain and potentially regressive in their effects, with technology likely to sustain a large number of low-quality jobs. The deep-seated problems of the UK economy—low-investment, low-productivity and low-real wages—are seen as key impediments to forms of automation th…
The Implicit as a Resource for Engaging Normativity in Religious Studies
This piece recommends the implicit as a resource for examining normativity within the study of religion. Attention to the implicit serves at least two purposes toward this end. First, it gives the scholar of religion a clearer sense of the norms of the communities she seeks to understand, norms that, depending partly on one's methodological commitments, may be evaluated as well as described. Second, it deepens the scholar's reflections on the imp…

Labour market regulation and the 'competition state
This article examines the changing role of the state, through an analysis of the development and implementation of the EU Temporary Agency Work Directive in the UK. The article outlines and utilizes the concept of the 'competition state' to help frame and comprehend the UK Government's approach to negotiating and shaping the Directive. Using archival, secondary and primary research, the article shows how the state continues to exercise important …
C. S. Peirce and the Nested Continua Model of Religious Interpretation
This study develops resources in the work of Charles S. Pierce (1839-1914) for the purposes of contemporary philosophy. It contextualizes Pierce's prevailing influences and provides greater context in relation to the currents of nineteenth-century thought. Dr Gary Slater articulates 'a nested continua model' for theological interpretation, which is indebted to Pierce's creation of 'Existential Graphs', a system of diagrams designed to provide vis…

Visions of the future, the legacy of the past
Recent studies of work futures commonly deploy partial and particular data as a basis for constructing grand narratives of apocalyptic change. The narratives are typically light on theory, resistant to grounded historical and institutional interrogation, and commonly substitute anecdote for searching empirical analysis. This article presents unique data on the changing occupational structure in Britain over half a century. It argues that the abst…
Economic Well-being and British Regions
Economists and policy-makers often present per capita gross domestic product (GDP) as by far the most significant indicator of economic well-being. Such measures are frequently adopted in making international comparisons, constructing time-series for particular countries and in studies of regional inequality. In this paper we challenge this view using a regional analysis of 2001 data focusing upon differences between London and the south-eastern …
Continuities within paradigmatic change
In this paper, we examine the inception and development of activation in Slovenia and the UK in order to identify the rationales for its introduction, to plot the direction of reforms and to consider the outcomes of policy implementation for citizens. In this unconventional country comparison, we are interested in understanding third-order (Hall 1993Cpmparitive Politics 25 (3): 25–96) welfare state change as the context for the introduction of ac…
