The use of 'monstrous', anxiety-generating imagery (tropes of the mythological Medusa or the Hydra) to demonize opponents was a marked feature of political caricature and national propaganda on different points in the ideological spectrum, from the Fren
An intrinsically mixed state is a mixed state of a system that is (in a sense to be elaborated) 'orthogonal' to every pure state of that system, Although the presence of such states in the quantum theories of infinite systems is well known to those who
This paper argues that what Robert Allen has termed collective invention settings (that is, settings in which competing firms share technological knowledge) were a crucial source of innovation during the early phases of industrialisation. Until now this h
Cognitive science challenges our understandings of self and freedom. In this article, adapted from a chapter in Minding God: Theology and the Cognitive Sciences (Peterson 2003), I review some of the scientific literature with regard to issues of self and
The literature on everyday life has only imperfectly taken to itself the influence of modern information and communications technology, generally through the work of authors like Benjamin and the lettristes like de Certeau and Virilio. Part of the reason
This article proposes that Butler's recent writing encourages understanding of an intersection of forces, specifically the undoing of feminism and the socialist tradition. This occurs as the traces or residues left behind by these now outmoded movements

A male skeleton from the Romano-British site at Kingsholm, Gloucester, is described with abnormalities in the humerus, femur, tibia, fibula and foot. Computed tomography of the femora to enable cross-sectional analysis suggested altered normal gait to com
A finitary characterization for non-well-founded sets with finite transitive closure is established in terms of a greatest fixpoint formula of the modal mu-calculus. This generalizes the standard result in the literature where a finitary modal characteriz
This article proposes to give a progress report on sociologies of everyday life. It is in particular a question of specifying the concept of everyday life in his relationship with event, then to show the close relationship between melancholy and everyday
Although scholars endorse Frank's Place as a model of televised Black culture, that series lasted only one season, not enough to explore the varied characteristics of African Americans. Homicide: Life on the Street, largely ignored in the literature, sur
Forgiveness has historically been considered a theological construct and has only recently received significant empirical study outside of the professional religion literature. Much of the recent study by psychologists has looked at the relationship betwe
There has been a great deal of interest in the concept of luck in the recent psychological and philosophical literature. In philosophy, this interest has tended to focus not upon luck simpliciter but rather upon the role that luck plays in ethical and epi
