Pharmacological and ethical comparisons of lung cancer medicine accessibility in Australia and New Zealand
Gaps in funded cancer medicines between New Zealand and Australia can have significant implications for patients and their families. Pharmac, the New Zealand pharmaceutical funding agency, has been criticised for not funding enough cancer medicines, and a 2022 review identified ethical concerns about its utilitarian focus on efficiency. However, as the costs of new cancer medicines rise along with public and political pressure to fund them, quest…

Following the dogs of Prishtina
This paper offers autoethnographic storytelling and analysis, considering what multispecies framing can offer post-war memorialisation discourse and practice. During 2019, I undertook initial scoping and consultation around the potential of a new museum or memorial site for post-war Kosova. The aim for this new site is to encourage reflection, peace building, and action around human rights. In Kosova there are multiple and conflicting memorialisa…
Integrating knowledge on green infrastructure, health and well-being in ageing populations
Ageing and urbanisation pose significant challenges for public health and urban planning. Ageing populations are at particular risk from hazards arising from urbanisation processes, some of which are in turn exacerbated by climate change. One approach for mitigating the negative effects of urbanisation on ageing populations is the leveraging of the beneficial effects of urban green infrastructure as a public health intervention in the planning pr…
A family-based approach examining perceptions of an Australian TRYathlon series on children’s health and development
Regular physical activity supports children’s physical and psychological health and wellbeing, and provides opportunities to build social and emotional skills such as resilience, confidence, and self-efficacy. Research has demonstrated that mass participant sporting events can serve as important social and environmental correlates of physical activity. This study sought to explore parents and children’s perceived motivations and perspectives of p…

Sonic ethnography
Sonic ethnography explores the role of sound-making and listening practices in the formation of local identities in the southern Italian region of Basilicata. The book uses a combination of text, photography and sound recording to investigate soundful cultural performances such as tree rituals, carnivals, pilgrimages, events promoting cultural heritage and more informal musical performances. Its approach demonstrates how in the acoustic domain tr…
Feminist Archiving [a manifesto continued]
This article outlines the potential of a model of material and digital feminist archiving that sits within a wider context of feminist activism and organising. It argues that feminist archiving is a circular process of creating the society we want to be evidenced, and contributes to the skilling of women and girls for activism and organising. The article specifically responds to 'A Manifesto of Feminist Archiving (or disruption)', produced by art…

Derek Jarman’s Blue
Responding to Derek Jarman’s (1942–1994) film Blue (1994) and written text Chroma: A Book of Colour – June ’93 (1994), this article argues that colour serves as the subject through which notions of visual perception are interrogated and reconsidered. Diagnosed as HIV positive in December 1986, Jarman’s encroaching blindness from retinal disease and eventual death in 1994 frames such discourse on the visual within the political and social landscap…

The Johannine Son of Man
How is the association of the descent/ascent motif with the Johannine Son of Man to be explained if the gnosticism theory no longer holds? ἀναβέβηκεν (3.13) is usually taken to refer to Jesus' final ascension. But Odeberg saw that it refers to a tradition of heavenly ascent in Jesus' lifetime. Bühner argued rather for a double reference—to the ascent of a visionary seer involving a metamorphosis into a heavenly being and a final ascent at death. …

On air pollution and inequalities, environmental justice, and the public health
This month’s journal brings together a collection of papers focusing on the environment and raises important questions about environmental justice, a concept that has been current in North America for some years but that will still be new to many of our readers. We carry a glossary by Tunstall and colleagues on Places and Health that explores some fundamental concepts of geography that are relevant to our craft. Two editorials explore the issues …
Something Old, Something New
In this issue we carry a Glossary of public health history that may prove controversial; debate is welcome. Speaker’s Corner addresses the challenge of providing a systematic evidence base to tackle inequalities in health, something that becomes evermore pressing as the limitations of biomedical evaluation become apparent. This is reinforced by a rare contribution on social inequalities in health in the United States from Harvard. An optimistic n…
Violence and public health
In this issue, Alberto Concha-Eastman directs our attention to the crucial question of violence as a public health issue. Dr Concha-Eastman, a Colombian, has first hand experience of taking charge of a violence prevention programme in his home city of Cali, where homicide rates are among the highest in the world. The inadequacy of a traditional policing model for understanding the upstream determinants of violence and developing rational joined u…
Public health and moving upstream of terrorism
In this issue, we include a number of contributions that were prompted by the terrorist atrocity in New York on 11 September. Around the world people have been struggling to come to terms with this latest manifestation of globalisation and hatred, what it means for the future of the human family and how we can most appropriately respond to the new threat to
Debates and dialogues

Studying John
Is historical criticism of the New Testament dead? This collection of eight chapters on John's Gospel argues that this is very far from the case. Challenging the assumptions of methodologies which ignore the historical context in which the Gospel was composed, the book offers a spirited defence of historical criticism and provides practical demonstration of the many new insights which it has still to yield. The first two chapters treat in greater…

Narrative Criticism
This chapter calls into question the value of narrative criticism in a number of ways. First, it systematically ignores the strong likelihood that the text of the Fourth Gospel, like that of the other three, had a history and thus should not be assumed to be a single, fully integrated composition. Secondly, it casts a highly questionable theoretical net over all aspects of the narrative, most of which are more easily dealt with by other, simpler …
Beyond Survivalism
The published record of English folklore emphasises the work of the Folklore Society and its luminaries to the virtual exclusion of all other organisations and individuals. Consequently, it fails to do justice to the contribution of a host of regional collectors, folklorits who were generally also dialectologists and local historians and who toiled the hinterlands independently, for the most part, of the FLS. These men and women corresponded, sha…

English Village Carols
Christmas caroling tradition of South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire has helped to qualify previous characterizations of English folksong style as exclusively solo, a cappella and monodic (1970, 1973). Now the former editor of The Folk Music Journal has brought the tradition to life in a series of cassette recordings with accompanying booklets issued by his own label, Village Carols (Bridge House, Unstone, Sheffield, SI8 5AF, England). The series…

Components of delay amongst women obtaining termination of pregnancy
A study of the factors involved in delay amongst a group of Wessex women obtaining induced abortions is reported and the importance of age is stressed. Only 47% of women aged 17–18 years obtained their operation before 12 weeks gestation compared with more than 70% of women of other age groups. The implications of this for the health of these women is discussed and the case stated for the development of adequate sex education, birth control and e…
Healthy cities — WHO's New Public Health initiative
The World Health Organization's European Office has initiated a major new project known as “Healthy Cities”. As a laboratory for the lifestyle targets agreed for Europe, the time seems right to support integrated approaches to health promotion at the city level. The city is often the lowest administrative level which can marshal the resources and has the political mandate and authority to develop and implement intersectoral approaches to health; …
Health museums or theme parks
This paper is an outline of a proposed initiative on intersectoral collaboration in health promotion--collaboration between health, tourist, cultural and entertainment sectors to provide a powerful mass educational experience about the human mind and body. There has been a recent rise in interest in using the technology of museums, science centres, exploratories and theme parks for the promotion of health. This revival is shown to have a historic…
The Transformation of Wisdom. A Study of the Prologue of John's Gospel
There are two fundamental questions concerning the Prologue, one literary, the other historical. The literary question was raised by Bultmann in his seminal article for the Gunkel Festschrift of 1923: ‘Wie weit ist von dem prāexistenten Logos die Rede, von wo ab von dem in der Geschichte auf-tretenden, d.h. von Jesus?’ The commentators, remarks Bultmann, disxsxsagree on the answer to this question, and this disagreement has persisted. For Bultman…

“Twirling an Edge”
The ritualistic nature of communication and work techniques in many occupational settings is often overlooked. The art of “pitching” is a distinctive, traditional approach to merchandising employed by English market traders that has gone largely unnoticed in folkloristic literature. The stable, recurrent and recognizable component of this occupational ritual and verbal art is the consistent use by its practitioners of a unique marketing strategy.…
