Abstract As one example of how modern Western societies are increasingly obliged to reconcile questions of civility and justice against common, indeed revered, practices that compromise nonhuman animals, this paper examines the recent history of public debate regarding the use of animals for public entertainment in the Canadian West. Using media-based public dialogue regarding the annual Calgary Stampede (and especially chuckwagon racing) as a case study and couching the high-risk use of horses in the sociological language of “sports-related violence,” the paper explores the various arguments for and against the continued use of horses at the self-proclaimed “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth” despite unambiguous evidence of the harm that regularly, and sometimes graphically, occurs.

Abstract: With considerable attention now being paid within scholarly communications to publication models that increase access to research, the launch of the open access journal Open Medicine demonstrates the contribution that open access, in all of its various economic models, can make to scholarly traditions of editorial independence, intellectual integrity, and academic freedom. This paper details the history of Open Medicine, which was born of an editorial-interference incident in the field of medical publishing, and offers a case study of the current political economy of academic publishing. This new journal demonstrates how open access, in combination with open source publishing and management software, enables new journals to more readily protect the academic freedom of researchers and scholars. As we argue, this method of publishing provides a venue for the emergence of new approaches, ideas, and independence from sources of competing interests in scholarly publishing. Résumé : En s’inspirant de la communication savante qui porte aujourd’hui une attention particulière aux modèles de communication facilitant l’accès à la recherche, la revue à libre accès Open Medicine démontre la contribution que le libre accès, sous toutes ses variantes économiques, peut faire aux traditions savantes privilégiant l’indépendance de la rédaction, l’intégrité intellectuelle et la liberté académique. Cet article recense l’histoire d’Open Medicine, né d’un incident comportant une tentative de contrôler la rédaction, et offre une étude de cas sur l’économie politique actuelle de l’édition académique. Cette nouvelle revue démontre comment le libre accès, de pair avec l’édition à code source libre et un logiciel de gestion, permet aux nouvelles revues de mieux protéger la liberté académique des chercheurs et des savants. Nous soutenons que cette méthode d’édition offre un contexte qui favorise de nouvelles approches et idées et une indépendance accrue par rapport à tout intérêt concurrentiel en édition savante.

Fictive Mode, ‘Journey to the West’, and Transformation of Space: ‘Ali Mubarak’s Discourses of Modernization

Journey To The West

I begin my exploration of ‘Ali Mubarak (1823/4–1893) and the discourses on modernization ‘performed’ in his only attempt at fiction, ‘Alam al-Din (The Sign of Religion, 1882), with a quote from Guy Davenport because it elegantly sums up a key theoretical principle underpinning any discussion of cultural transformation and, more particularly, of modernization. Locating ‘Ali Mubarak and his only fictional work at the juncture of the transformation from the ‘traditional’ to the ‘modern’ in the recent history of Arab culture and of Arabic narrative, I find Davenport's pronouncement tantalizingly appropriate. He not only places the stakes of history and geography in one another, but simultaneously opens up the imagination to the combined forces of time and space that stand behind these two distinct yet related disciplines.

This chapter explores movement and circulation across the Mediterranean and seeks to contribute to a history of proto-nationalism in the Maghrib and the Middle East at a particular moment prior to World War I. The discussion is particularly concerned with the interface of two Mediterranean spaces: the Middle East (Egypt, Ottoman Empire) and North Africa (Morocco), where the latter is viewed as a case study where resistance movements sought external allies as a way of compensating for their internal weakness. Applying methods developed by Subaltern Studies, and linking macro-historical approaches, namely of a translocal movement in the Muslim Mediterranean, it explores how the Egypt-based society, al-Ittihad al-Maghribi, through its agent, Aref Taher, used the press as an instrument for political propaganda, promoting its Pan-Islamic programme and its goal of uniting North Africa.
