Probable Effect

For many years composite minor intrusions, both sills and dykes, have been known from various parts of the world and most petrologists must have speculated as to the probable effect produced in the event of such composite intrusions having reached the surface in the form of an effusion. For obvious reasons it has not been found possible to trace a composite dyke upwards into a lava flow. However, during the revision of 1 inch Sheet 30 (Renfrewshire) for the Geological Survey, the author encountered, in the neighbourhood of Inverkip, a small village on the Firth of Clyde south of Greenock, certain peculiar lava flows which are believed to represent the effusive equivalents of composite minor intrusions. These “composite lavas”, which form the main subject of the present paper, are of Lower Carboniferous age (Calciferous Sandstone Series) and occur interbedded among the more normal flows towards the base of the volcanic group. Two distinct rock varieties, one highly porphyritic, with large phenocrysts (up to 1·5 cms. long) of basic plagioclase, and the other non-porphyritic, are associated within the same flow. The porphyritic type always forms the upper part of the flow and overlies the non-porphyritic; the junction shows unmistakable evidence that both were in a fluid state along their mutual contact at the time of emplacement.

Rich Fauna

Round the south-western corner of Cape Colony there is a belt of mountains which exhibit a number of exceedingly interesting features. The ranges meet almost in a right angle, the one set trending north and the other east, from a point near Ceres village; this is what Suess calls a ‘Schaarung,’ and I believe nowhere else in the world does this structure show itself in such a simple manner. Each range is composed essentially of an S-shaped bend, the syncline on the coast side and the anticline on the inner side, while subsidiary folds are added in various places, without, however, obscuring the general nature of the mountain structure. The central axes of the ranges are composed ofa coarse grey false-bedded sandstone, the Table Mountain Sandstone resting on the outer side on Pal-Afric beds, slates, phyllites, and intrusive granite, and dipping under later and conformable beds on the inner sides. The age of the Table Mountain Sandstone is uncertain, as, with the exception of indeterminable bivalves found by Griesbach in Natal and possibly a Patella, no fossils have been recorded from the series; the overlying beds, however, the Bokkeveld Beds, contain a rich fauna belonging to the American type of Devonian species. On top of the Devonian conies another series of sandstones, the Witteberg Beds, strongly differentiated from the older sandstone series by their yellow and red tints, and the amount of shaly matter intercalated between the sandstone banks.The Witteberg Beds, although strictly conformable to the Bokkeveld Beds, contain a flora which is referable to the Lower Carboniferous, the conformity being supposed to be the result of the ocean floor, during the period occupied elsewhere with the deposition of the Middle and Upper Devonian, having sunk below the area, or rather out of reach of deposition of land detritus.

Charnwood Forest, since 1891, the date of the last paper by Canon E. Hill and myself, has been investigated by the Geological Survey. Though part of their map and the accompanying memoir have not yet been published, the general results of their work have been announced by Professor W. W. Watts, by whom most of it was executed. As we stated at the time, we were far from being satisfied with some important points in our own conclusions; so that since my return to Cambridge I have studied my specimens and slices from the north-western region, which had presented to us the more serious difficulties. In 1891 I had been led to regard the characteristic rocks of Peldar Tor and High Sharpley as lava-flows, but considered the dominant rocks of Bardon Hill to be mainly pyroclastic. Professor Watts, however, maintained the intrusive character of the first and second, while taking the same view as myself about the third. The lava-flow hypothesis had appeared to me the more probable, because I doubted whether a mass so large as the Peldar-Bardon porphyroid, if intrusive, could have maintained throughout a texture so uniformly fine-grained, and I had found in the Bardon quarries fragments of it embedded in rock which I then supposed to be a somewhat altered tuff, closely related to the High Sharpley lava.

General Similarity

The chemical composition of the Barshaw bekinkinite has been determined by Mr. E. G. Radley, of the Geological Survey (Table I). In the Glasgow Memoir (pp. 134–5) Mr. Bailey points out the general similarity of this analysis to those of picrite, nepheline-basalt, and Hillhouse basalt, from the Lower Carboniferous of the Midland Valley of Scotland, and also to the type bekinkinites of Madagascar.The Barshaw rock, however, is distinctly richer in lime and alumina than the other Scottish rocks, indicating a greater richness in the anorthite molecule. This is well brought out in the calculation of the mineral composition from the chemical analysis (see later). The ultrabasic end-differentiates of the Scottish analcite rocks tend either to be enriched in the bisilicate minerals or in olivine. The former type includes the Barshaw bekinkinite, the picrites, and some Ayrshire theralites; the latter includes peridotites, kylites, and certain nepheline- and analcite-basalts. Chemically the bisilicate type tends to be rich, in lime and ferrous iron, and comparatively poor in magnesia, with, for the silica percentage, a rather large amount of alkalies. The olivinic types are rich in magnesia, with low silica and alkalies. In the American Quantitative Classification the Barshaw bekinkinite falls into the subrang III, 6.4.5 (named ‘papenoose’ by Lacroix), whereas the bekinkinites of Madagascar fall into the neighbouring eubrangs III, 6.3.4 (limburgose) and III, 6.3.5 (unnamed). The majority of the Scottish analcite rocks fall into limburgose (III, 6.3.4), monchiquose (III, 6.2.4), or camptonose (III, 5.3.4), subrangs whose clear relationships are shown by their numerical symbols.

The article presents a comparison of the two most developed economies in the world – Swedish and American. The main subject of the paper is the range of property rights in those two types of economic systems. Economy of The United States of America resembles the theory of capitalism the most, so it has the largest range of property rights. Swedish state; on the other hand, often interferes with the market, thus restricts ownership rights. It seems that these differences do not have the key impact on the economic efficiency of those countries.

Carboniferous Limestone

The object of the present communication is to place on record a section, apparently unique, in which the unconformity between the Millstone Grit and Carboniferous Limestone that exists in parts of South Wales and Monmouthshire is clearly displayed. The exposure was first examined at the suggestion of the brilliant worker who threw so much light on Lower Carboniferous problems, the late Dr. Vaughan. The writer had explained1 the attenuation of the Carboniferous Limestone Series in the Newport (Mon.) district as due to unconformable overstep by the Millstone Grit, similar to an overstep at this horizon that had already been observed near Haverfordwest, at the other end of the South Wales basin, by Professor O. T. Jones.1 The value of the Ifton section in demonstrating that this overstep was widespread was recognized, and photographs, two of which are here reproduced, were secured by H.M. Geological Survey. Since then the unconformity at the eastern end of the South Wales coalfield has been confirmed by the detailed examination of a large area by Mr. F. Dixey and Dr. T. F. Sibly,2 and has been found by the writer, in the course of work not yet published, to reach its greatest known extent in the Abergavenny district. Nevertheless, it seems desirable to describe the Ifton section because it is the clearest exposure known, in the whole of the South-West Province, of the unconformity between the Carboniferous Limestone and the Millstone Grit, and also on account of the remarkable inter-relations of the two formations which it reveals.

The Voice

There are two most inevitable issues on national literature, in this case Indonesian literature. First is the translation and the second is the standard of world literature. Can one speak for the other as a representative? Why is this representation matter? Does translation embody the voice of the represented? Without translation Indonesian literature cannot gain its recognition in world literature, yet, translation conveys the voice of other. In the case of production, publication, or distribution of Indonesian Literature to the world, translation works can be very beneficial. The position of Indonesian literature is as a part of world literature. The concept that the Western world should be the one who represent the subaltern can be overcome as long as the subaltern performs as the active speaker. If the subaltern remains silent then it means it allows the “representation” by the Western.

The main objective of this study is the substantiation of experiment as one of the key features of the world music in Ukraine. Based on the creative works of the brightest world music representatives in Ukraine, «Dakha Brakha» band, the experiment is regarded as a kind of creative setting. Methodology and scientific approaches. The methodology was based on the music practice theory by T. Cherednychenko. The author distinguishes four binary oppositions, which can describe the musical practice. According to one of these oppositions («observance of the canon or violation of the canon»), the musical practices, to which the Ukrainian musicology usually classifies the world music («folk music» and «minstrel music»), are compared with the creative work of «Dakha Brakha» band. Study findings. A lack of the setting to experiment in the musical practices of the «folk music» and «minstrel music» separates the world music musical practice from them. Therefore, the world music is a separate type of musical practice in which the experiment is crucial. The study analyzed several scientific articles of Ukrainian musicologists on the world music; examined the history of the Ukrainian «Dakha Brakha» band; presented a list of the folk songs used in the fifth album «The Road» by «Dakha Brakha» band; and showed the degree of the source transformation by musicians based on the example of the «Monk» song. The study findings can be used to form a comprehensive understanding of the world music musical practice. The further studies may be related to clarification of the other parameters of the world music musical practice, and to determination of the experiment role in creative works of the other world music representatives, both Ukrainian and foreign. The practical study value is the ability to use its key provisions in the course of modern music in higher artistic schools of Ukraine. Originality / value. So far, the Ukrainian musicology did not consider the experiment role as the key one in the world music.

The paper celebrates the publication of Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller's Thinking Literature across Continents as a significant event in the age of neoliberalism. It argues that, in spite of the different premises and the resulting interpretative procedures respectively championed by the two co-authors, both of them anchor their readings of literary texts in a concept of literature that is diametrically opposed to neoliberal rationality, and both impassionedly safeguard human values and experiences that resist the technologisation and marketisation of the humanities and aesthetic education. While Ghosh's readings of literature offer lightning flashes of thought from the outside of the Western tradition, signalling a new culture of reading as well as a new manner of appreciation of the other, Miller dedicatedly speaks and thinks against the hegemony of neoliberal reason, opening our eyes to the kind of change our teaching or reading of literature can trigger in the world, and the role aesthetic education should and can play at a time when the humanities are considered ‘a lost cause’.

Most studies of Simone de Beauvoir situate her with respect to Hegel and the tradition of 20th-century phenomenology begun by Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty. This book analyzes The Second Sex in light of the concepts of becoming, problematization, and the Other found in Gilles Deleuze. Reading Beauvoir through a Deleuzian lens allows more emphasis to be placed on Beauvoir's early interest in Bergson and Leibniz, and on the individuation of consciousness, a puzzle of continuing interest to both phenomenologists and Deleuzians. By engaging with the philosophical issues in her novels and student diaries, this book rethinks Beauvoir’s focus on recognition in The Second Sex in terms of women’s struggle to individuate themselves despite sexist forms of representation. It shows how specific forms of women’s “lived experience” can be understood as the result of habits conforming to and resisting this sexist “sense.” Later feminists put forward important criticisms regarding Beauvoir’s claims not to be a philosopher, as well as the value of sexual difference and the supposedly Eurocentric universalism of her thought. Deleuzians, on the other hand, might well object to her ideas about recognition. This book attempts to address those criticisms, while challenging the historicist assumptions behind many efforts to establish Beauvoir’s significance as a philosopher and feminist thinker. As a result, readers can establish a productive relationship between Beauvoir’s “problems” and those of women around the world who read her work under very different circumstances.

Modernism is usually defined historically as the composite movement at the beginning of the twentieth century which led to a radical break with what had gone before in literature and the other arts. Given the problems of the continuing use of the concept to cover subsequent writing, this essay proposes an alternative, philosophical perspective which explores the impact of rationalism (what we bring to the world) on the prevailing empiricism (what we take from the world) of modern poetry, which leads to a concern with consciousness rather than experience. This in turn involves a re-conceptualisation of the lyric or narrative I, of language itself as a phenomenon, and of other poetic themes such as nature, culture, history, and art. Against the background of the dominant empiricism of modern Irish poetry as presented in Crotty's anthology, the essay explores these ideas in terms of a small number of poets who may be considered modernist in various ways. This does not rule out modernist elements in some other poets and the initial distinction between a poetics of experience and one of consciousness is better seen as a multi-dimensional spectrum that requires further, more detailed analysis than is possible here.
