Musical Listening

Denise Riley's poetry and prose is pivotal in framing voice as social, resonant and material, rather than as an emanation from the private depths of an individual interior being. Examination of a range of her work published over the last two decades shows how the inner speech of thought may be conceived as a replaying of language encountered in the externally sounded world, from fragments of lyric to verbal abuse. Her sustained engagement with lyric and song, whether in poems that quote song lyrics, or in her recent work that argues with and comments on its own use of traditional lyric forms, links the sounding of poetry with musical listening to articulate a position in which emotions are mobilized rather than ‘expressed’. Through the materialist imagination of her poems, continuities are created between the voicing of the poem, the voices of the dead, and the sounding of the non-human world.

Sedimentation of the Mississippian evaporites of the Maritimes: an alternative model

Recent work on the carbonates and sulfates of the Mississippian Windsorian rocks of the Maritime Provinces has led to the idea that the widespread evaporites in the area are the product of sedimentation in supratidal fiats and in depressions in those flats. The tectonic setting and lithologic features of the more soluble evaporites, however, suggest a comparison with the Plio-Pleistocene sediments of the Dead Sea Graben, and it is proposed that the great thicknesses of chlorides known to exist in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are the result of rapid sedimentation in possibly deep water within the Fundy Rift formed at the end of the Acadian Orogeny.

The Gothic Camera: Javier Aguirresarobe at Home and in Hollywood

This chapter looks at the contemporary use of a Gothic style of landscape camera deriving from the work of renowned Spanish cameraman Javier Aguirresarobe, to argue for a form of transnational Spanish Gothic that can be traced through the interaction of light and landscape. Although Aguirresarobe has not confined himself to horror and Gothic filmmaking there is a notable trend in some of his work for colder landscapes with watery light. The chapter considers the primary two examples of Aguirresarobe’s explicitly Gothic landscapes (La madre muerta/The Dead Mother, The Others) before going on to discuss his more recent work in the USA and specifically his work on New Moon, one of the installments in the Twilight film saga. Aguirresarobe’s work provides a reverse transatlantic crossing which undercuts the centrality of the Anglo-American to the Gothic mode. His schizophrenic approach to lighting, however, also undercuts our uncertainty as to where we are and what we see

The Aesthetic

We discuss how to assess computationally the aesthetic value of “small” objects, namely those that have short digital descriptions. Such small objects still matter: they include headlines, poems, song lyrics, short musical scripts and other culturally crucial items. Yet, small objects are a confounding case for our recent work adapting ideas from algorithmic information theory (AIT) to the domain of computational creativity, as they cannot be either logically deep or sophisticated following the traditional definitions of AIT. We show how restricting the class of models under analysis can make it the case that we can still separate high-quality small objects from ordinary ones, and discuss the strengths and limitations of our adaptation.

Digital Footprints

Between 2012 and 2017, a contributor to Mumsnet, a popular parenting forum online, began recording a third-person account under the pseudonym IamtheZombie, covering first her divorce and then her experience of cancer. In January 2017, IamtheZombie died. Preserved by MumsnetHQ, the threads form a tissue of posts: a text-culture that explores para-sociality between the living and the dead. Building on existing scholarship on digital life writing, on the afterlives of digital footprints and on recent work in the fields of memory studies, computing and neurobiology, this essay offers a new interdisciplinary framework for describing relationality in life writing on illness, dying and death: cytoarchitecture.

Forward Looking

This chapter is about the philosophical use of history, especially as practiced in post-Kantian philosophy. It expands on the author’s earlier books, which have argued that philosophy has become most valuable recently when it has made an historical turn. It has focused on its own history through critical appropriation, which is forward looking and contrasts with either sticking with the “mere living” or just turning back to, or simply forgetting, the “dead.” The chapter argues that while some Hegelian approaches, such as Robert Brandom’s recent work, practice something like this approach, they also suffer from a lack of appreciation for other strands in post-Kantian thought, especially Early German Romanticism, and they offer a Hegelian approach to history that is not sufficiently radical in its understanding of change and autonomy. It contrasts systematic Idealist with Romantic approaches to history, and defends the latter while noting similarities between Bernard Williams’s work and the Romantics.

Taking Care

This article explores the connection between care and loss in Philippe Forest’s work by drawing on the etymological origins of care and on contemporary French writing on the ethics of care. On the one hand, care in Forest comes to stand for the technical taking care of a patient in the medical setting as well as for caring for and about his dying child specifically. On the other hand, the practice of writing about the loss of his daughter turns into a form of long-term caring for both his dead daughter and her surviving father. This continued attention to a relationship built around loss is, according to Forest, missing in practices of medical care supposedly meant to acknowledge death. The article argues that engaging with loss is key to the practice of care, even if, as Forest’s more recent work shows, this engagement also entails documenting a gradual forgetting of the dead.

Although now in his seventy-fifth year, the Polish director and artist Tadeusz Kantor is still regarded in the west as a startlingly experimental director, in the bleak, highly personal mould that has marked his work since the creation of the Cricot 2 Theatre in 1955. Such productions as The Water Hen, The Dead Class, Wielopole, Wielopole, and Let the Artists Die have earned him a strong cult following, but he has rarely chosen to explain his views and approach to theatre in the discursive form of an interview. We are therefore particularly pleased to be able to print here a translation of an interview which first appeared in the journal Polityka, No. 39 (November 1988), which took place during the visit of Kantor's most recent work, I Shall Never Return, to New York earlier in the same year. The translation is by Piotr Kutriwczak.

The following essay surveys and reflects on the conference as a whole. It identifies a series of significant developments in the study of later Reformed thought, notably a series of ways in which scholarship has moved beyond the dead-ends of older approaches such as the notorious “Calvin against the Calvinists” school of thought. Among other points, the issue of continuity and discontinuity in the history of Protestant thought has received considerable nuance, the diversity and variety of Reformed thought is identified both in the Reformation roots of issues and in the later developments, and the questions of the relationship of Calvin to the Reformed tradition and of the reception of his thought by later generations are reviewed. The conference, therefore, confirms the recent work of reassessing the development of “Calvinism” and points toward significant areas for future research.

Abstract Recent work by emotion researchers indicates that emotions have a multilevel structure. Sophisticated sentimentalists should take note of this work – for it better enables them to defend a substantive role for emotion in moral cognition. Contra May's rationalist criticisms, emotions are not only able to carry morally relevant information, but can also substantially influence moral judgment and reasoning.

SummaryThe sun as a magnetic star is described on the basis of recent work on solar magnetism. Observations at an arbitrary angle to the rotation axis would show a 22-year polar field variation and a 25-day equatorial sector variation. The sector variation would be similar to an oblique rotator with an angle of 90° between the magnetic and rotational axis.
