This chapter discusses a consultancy on property and pollution associated with a legal action representing indigenous landowners against the owners of a gold mine outside Honiara in the Solomon Islands. After the lawsuit against the mine failed and the country was overtaken by civil conflict, I was unable to return for fifteen years. During archival research conducted in 2014, I learned that my earlier work on land rights helps to explain the civil conflict between local landowners and labor migrants in the plantation sector. Consequently, the chapter shows how ethnographic data produced in the context of engaged research projects may find relevance in changed circumstances.

Archaeologists are no strangers to the spaces and materialities of roads. The material cultures of prehistoric and Roman roads have provided an important focus for archaeological investigations, while modern road construction programmes have provided invaluable opportunities to conduct archaeological and geological investigations of sub-surface materials. In recent years, humanities and social science scholars have started to trace the material cultures and practices associated with the modern spaces of the car, road, and driving, and this chapter traces the outlines of what we might call an archaeology of modern automobility, discussing the findings of two research projects undertaken on the material cultures of automobility. Drawing upon research on the historical geographies of Britain’s M1 motorway the author examines how archaeological techniques (including field excavations) could provide an important complement to archival research in order to trace the design, construction, and use of such sites. In the second example, the chapter discusses a recent research project which attempted to write a cultural history and contemporary archaeology of the campaign for bilingual road signs in Wales. Drawing upon archival research, oral histories, and photographic research, the project reveals how the materiality of road signs was central to the motives behind-and effectiveness of-the campaign in 1960s and 1970s Wales.

My first thoughts in response to the question “What’s so special about special collections¿̣” were in relation to my own experience researching and writing about nineteenth-century Anglo-American literature and print culture. But like a lot of teachers, I find that my research informs my classroom practice and that my classroom practice, in turn, reinvigorates my research. Consequently, much of my thinking about this question comes out of my experience designing archival research projects for my undergraduate students. So, in response to why, at a time of increasingly sophisticated electronic resources for “preserving” and making available special collections materials, we should . . .

PurposeThis article examines the interventions from municipality, state and other actors in the Gellerup estate, a Danish “ghetto” by focusing on the youth problem and its construction, by examining a cross-disciplinary academic workshop intending to “solve the youth problem” of the estate.Design/methodology/approachThe article is based on the two authors' participation in the academic workshop, as well as their continued engagement with the Gellerup estate through separate project employments and ethnographic research projects in the estate, consisting of both participant observation and interviews.FindingsIn the article the authors suggest that the 2015 workshop reproduced particularly the category of idle urban young men as problematic. The authors analyze this as a form of “moral urban citizenship”. The article also analyzes some of the proposed solutions to the problem, particularly architectural transformations, and connects the Danish approach to the problems of the “ghetto” to urban developments historically and on a global scale.Originality/valueCross-disciplinary academic attempts to solve real-world problems are rarely incorporated as ethnographic data. In this article the authors attempt to include part of their own practice as academics as valuable data that opens up new perspectives on a field and their own involvement and analysis of it.

Abstract:Conflicts over local land rights between groups considered as “sons of the soil” and newcomers such as refugees can trigger autochthony-inspired violence. However, such conflicts are not always manifested, even when the conditions are in place. The question we explore in this article is whether such conflicts are less likely to emerge if the “other” is from a group with a longstanding bond of interethnic allegiance with the host community. Based on ethnographic data from host–refugee communities in Grand Gedeh, Liberia, we revisit previous attempts to explain economic and social relations between majority and minority groups. Our main finding is that in this part of Africa no prior special status will fundamentally alter the established ways of incorporating strangers into the community.

<p class="JudulAbstrakInggris"><em>Juridical Issues Regarding Transition of Land Rights in the Object of Disputes</em></p><p class="JudulAbstrakInggris">Abstract</p><h1>Land is a place for human settlements as well as a source of livelihood for those who make a living through agriculture and ultimately land is also the last place for people to die. The law regarding land in Indonesia is influenced by a colonial legal system. This is because for hundreds of years Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch, so that there are two kinds of land ownership, namely lands with western rights and lands with customary rights, of course different about the transition, in terms of buying and selling, also ways of legal protection and legal certainty for the land owner concerned. Transition of land rights is a legal action aimed at transferring rights from one party to another. When someone has transferred his rights (land rights), to someone else "legally" then that person has no more rights to the land that has been transferred since the transfer of rights. The purpose of this study was to find out the process of transferring land rights in the object of the dispute and to find out the judges' consideration in deciding on land rights cases. This type of research is normative ayuridis. The nature of this research is descriptive analytical.</h1><p class="JudulAbstrakInggris"> </p>

While the provisions of the land rights under the National Agrarian Law, having broad authority means that it can divert, adjuct or as long as not contrary to applicable law. This study aims to examine the concept of church arrangement on the prohibition of transferring property rights on land and associated with the concept of national agrarian law. Research is normative legal research. The results of the research were found first, the provisions of the property of land governed by the provisions of the Church in the implementation there are conflicts and fundamental differences with the concepts governed in national agrarian law. The two rights holders of the land who have received the surrender of land from the church do not have a guarantee of legal certainty with the provisions of the Church governing the prohibition of the transfer of property rights to the land.

James Joyce’s Ulysses was first published in New York in the Little Review between 1918 and 1920. What kind of reception did it have and how does the serial version of the text differ from the version most readers know, the iconic volume edition published in Paris in 1922 by Shakespeare and Company? Joyce prepared much of Ulysses for serial publication while resident in Zurich between 1915 and 1919. This original study, which is based on sustained archival research, goes behind the scenes in Zurich and New York to recover long-forgotten facts pertinent to the writing, reception, and interpretation of Ulysses. The Little Review serialization of Ulysses proved controversial from the outset and was ultimately stopped before Joyce had completed the work. The New York Society for the Suppression of Vice took successful legal action against the journal’s editors, on the grounds that the final instalment of the thirteenth chapter of Ulysses was obscene. This triumph of the social purity movement had far-reaching repercussions for Joyce’s subsequent publishing history, and for his ongoing efforts in composing Ulysses. After chapters of contextual literary history, the study moves on to consider the textual significance of the serialization. It breaks new ground in Joycean scholarship by paying critical attention to Ulysses as a serial text. It concludes by examining the myriad ways in which Joyce revised and augmented Ulysses while resident in Paris, showing how Joyce made Ulysses more sexually suggestive and overt in explicit response to its legal reception in New York.
