In light of a recent surge of interest in time across a range of disciplines, a case has been made that New Testament studies has experienced a "temporal turn." This claim raises an important question about how one understands the relation of recent developments to earlier, long-held debates about time among New Testament scholars. This question is answered here by revisiting the "salvation history" debate between Oscar Cullmann and Rudolf Bultmann, with the help of Paul Ricoeur's analysis in Time and Narrative and in the context of recent trends in work on "temporalities." This article argues that, although in many respects recent work on time offers fresh language to describe the kinds of time at stake for New Testament scholarship, it is also true that attending to the earlier debates shows how parts of the temporal turn are in fact a re turn to questions long considered.

Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are endangered by anthropogenic threats. Characterizing the physiologic response of leatherback turtles under various stressors may inform conservation strategies. In this study, a commercially available enzyme immunoassay for aldosterone was validated for leatherback turtle plasma, and it was used with previously validated assays for corticosterone and free thyroxine (fT4) to evaluate the physiologic status of leatherback turtles that were entangled in fishing gear, stranded on shore, nesting or intentionally captured at sea during ecologic studies. Mean aldosterone concentrations were significantly higher in entangled turtles (156 ± 102 pg/ml), stranded turtles (274 ± 165 pg/ml) and intentionally captured turtles (457 ± 464 pg/ml) than in nesting females (23 ± 16 pg/ml). In contrast, nesting females had higher fT4 (2.9 ± 0.6 pg/ml) compared to entangled turtles (0.8 ± 0.9 pg/ml), stranded turtles (0.7 ± 0.8 pg/ml) and intentionally captured turtles (0.3 ± 0.2 pg/ml). Corticosterone concentrations were significantly higher in stranded individuals (10.9 ± 6.6 ng/ml) compared with nesting (3.8 ± 2.0 ng/ml) and intentionally captured turtles (3.6 ± 2.5 ng/ml), with intermediate levels in entangled turtles (5.1 ± 2.8 ng/ml). This study provides additional insight into the variable physiologic status of leatherback turtles under the influence of different anthropogenic and natural stressors, and it provides an additional tool to evaluate the role of aldosterone in the acute stress response and health of endangered sea turtle species.

Mountain guides play an important role in the provision of nature-based tourism activities, such as mountaineering, in alpine environments around the world. However, these locales are uniquely sensitive to climate change, and despite extensive documentation of bio-geophysical changes, there are few studies evaluating the impacts of these changes on mountaineering routes and the livelihood of mountain guides. This constrains adaptation planning and limits awareness of potential loss and damage in the mountain tourism sector. In response, our study explored mountain guides' lived experiences of working on Mt. Athabasca in Jasper National Park, Canada, to reveal the effects of climate change on mountaineering routes and implications for the mountain guiding community. To do this, we used a mixed methods approach that combined spatio-temporal trend analysis, repeat photography, and semi-structured interviews with mountain guides. We found that rising temperatures and changing precipitation regimes in the Mt. Athabasca area are driving glacial retreat and loss of semi-permanent snow and ice, which is impacting climbing conditions and objective hazards on mountaineering and guiding routes. Guides' experiences of these changes varied according to socio-economic conditions (e.g., financial security, livelihood flexibility), with late-career guides tending to experience loss of guiding opportunities and early-career guides facing increased pressure to provide services in more challenging conditions. Our findings offer novel insights that identify salient issues and bolster support for actions in response to the concerns of the mountain guide community. This study also underscores the need for further research, as the underlying issues are likely present in mountaineering destinations globally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ephemera — material culture not generally considered to be of enduring cultural or historical value — has long confounded archivists and recordkeepers. Often considered anomalous within broader institutional repositories, ephemeral records are further side-lined by dominant archival processes, standards, and logics; they lose their contextual nuances and thus become hidden collections within collections. Despite persistent professional anxieties and archival omissions, ephemeral archives often constitute a powerful source for counter-histories of a given institution, community, movement, or era. Such materials are imbued with the specific social, and emotional textures of their creators' lives and accordingly, they require a level of familiarity with their context in order to produce useful, meaningful layers of interpretation. Taking as its site of investigation the English country house archive, this article explores an ephemeral collection which offers a radically different history of an institution often perceived as a bastion of patriarchy and privilege, but which has simultaneously been obscured because of its ephemerality. In offering a close reading of a collection that represents working-class and non-heteronormative archival practices and genealogies, I draw from feminist and decolonial approaches to the archive that centre notions of care, slowness, and intentionality and present ways of better understanding, valuing, and making use of ephemeral collections.

In Beaumont and Fletcher's The Maid's Tragedy, we find Evadne, a female revenger who violently acts, avenging herself and the men around her. This article argues that the representational strategies of the play trouble our understanding of Evadne's gender, showing it as constructed via a nexus of sometimes contradictory fixations, fixations which are articulated through a rhetoric of bodies. Throughout this consideration, I connect this nexus with Evadne's proximity to, and enacting of, revenge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following COVID-19, good governance of public health is self-evidently a priority. Those who have governance responsibilities should act with integrity, and public health interventions should be both effective and ethically sound. In this context, this article focuses on the work recently undertaken by the UK National Screening Committee (NSC) in reviewing how it engages with and resolves the ethical questions raised by health screening. The article sketches the context for this review and the challenges faced; it describes the review process and the principal review outputs (including the ethical framework); and it reflects on a number of issues that are provoked by the ethical framework. Given the post-pandemic re-organisation of public health, the importance of embedding ethics in screening practice is underlined. If the United Kingdom is to be a standard-bearer for world-leading screening, it is essential that the NSC sustains its commitment to the ideals of good governance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent research on Jewish demonology has been significantly advanced by evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls. In light of these advances, this article revisits the use of daimones and related terms in the Greek translations of Jewish scriptures commonly called the Septuagint (LXX). Against the tendency to conflate these LXX data into one intermediate stage in the development of the demonology of the New Testament, it calls for further attention to the particular dates and translational tendencies in specific LXX texts, as well as further attention to contemporaneous Aramaic and Hebrew sources. Accordingly, it situates the daimones of LXX Deuteronomy, the Greek Psalter, and LXX Isaiah alongside the emergent demonologies in the Aramaic Enoch literature, Jubilees , 4Q560, and 11Q11. Taken together, these sources attest new literary creativity surrounding transmundane powers among Jews in the Hellenistic period, shaped by distinctive concerns that cannot be reduced to a transitional, proto-Christian moment.

Approximately 3600 Korean children have been adopted to Australia, as of 2023. Existing studies have tended to approach transnational or intercountry adoption from child development, social welfare, or identity perspectives. Research on Korean adoption to Australia is relatively scarce. The current article approaches the population from a migration perspective, building on Richard Weil's conceptualization of transnational adoption as "quiet migration." Drawing on both Korean-language data from South Korean governments and Australian data, the authors analyse Korean adoption to Australia as a state-sanctioned transnational migratory mechanism that facilitated the orderly movement of children from so-called "deficient" families of predominantly single mothers in South Korea to adoptive families in Australia. Situating adoption practices within the socio-political contexts and larger migration trends of both countries, the authors identify multiple enabling factors for channelling the 'quiet' flow of Korean children for adoption and argue the very 'quietness' of the adoption system is a source of concern despite Australia's relatively stringent regulations. A migration perspective and analysis of these enabling factors contributes to the conceptualization of adoption as a socio-political state-sanctioned phenomenon, rather than a solely private family affair.

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics workflows of intact protein ions have increasingly been utilized to study biological systems. These workflows, however, frequently result in convoluted and difficult to analyze mass spectra. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is a promising tool to overcome these limitations by separating ions by their mass- and size-to-charge ratios. In this work, we further characterize a newly developed method to collisionally dissociate intact protein ions in a trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) device. Dissociation occurs prior to ion mobility separation and thus, all product ions are distributed throughout the mobility dimension, enabling facile assignment of near isobaric product ions. We demonstrate that collisional activation within a TIMS device is capable of dissociating protein ions up to 66 kDa. We also demonstrate that the ion population size within the TIMS device significantly influences the efficiency of fragmentation. Lastly, we compare CIDtims to the other modes of collisional activation available on the Bruker timsTOF and demonstrate that the mobility resolution in CIDtims enables the annotation of overlapping fragment ions and improves sequence coverage.

In 1996, the feminist economic geographers Katherine Gibson and Julie Graham published I The End of Capitalism (As We Knew it): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy i (Gibson-Graham, [17]). 29 Jonas, A. (2013) 'Interrogating Alternative Local and Regional Economies: The British Credit Union Movement and Post-binary Thinking', in H.M. Zademach and S. Hillebrand (eds) Alternative Economies and Spaces: New Perspectives for a Sustainable Economy, pp. 23 - 42. Other authors (e.g. Elson, [[6]]) argue that capitalism depends for its reproduction on the unpaid work of the domestic economy to sustain the political and economic spheres, which in turn generate the resources that sustain the capitalist economy. Radical political economy scholars have examined these different economies within capitalism but based on the assumptions that they are subordinate subsystems of the capitalist economy, which sustains them to secure its own survival, and that they lack autonomy as alternative economic projects (Jonas, [30]).

Aims. Depression and anxiety are the leading contributors to the global burden of disease among young people, accounting for over a third (34.8%) of years lived with disability. Yet there is limited evidence for interventions that prevent adolescent depression and anxiety in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where 90% of adolescents live. This article introduces the 'Improving Adolescent mentaL health by reducing the Impact of poVErty (ALIVE)' study, its conceptual framework, objectives, methods and expected outcomes. The aim of the ALIVE study is to develop and pilot-test an intervention that combines poverty reduction with strengthening self-regulation to prevent depression and anxiety among adolescents living in urban poverty in Colombia, Nepal and South Africa. Methods. This aim will be achieved by addressing four objectives: (1) develop a conceptual framework that identifies the causal mechanisms linking poverty, self-regulation and depression and anxiety; (2) develop a multi-component selective prevention intervention targeting self-regulation and poverty among adolescents at high risk of developing depression or anxiety; (3) adapt and validate instruments to measure incidence of depression and anxiety, mediators and implementation parameters of the prevention intervention; and (4) undertake a four-arm pilot cluster randomised controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability and cost of the selective prevention intervention in the three study sites. Results. The contributions of this study include the active engagement and participation of adolescents in the research process; a focus on the causal mechanisms of the intervention; building an evidence base for prevention interventions in LMICs; and the use of an interdisciplinary approach. Conclusions. By developing and evaluating an intervention that addresses multidimensional poverty and self-regulation, ALIVE can make contributions to evidence on the integration of mental health into broader development policy and practice.

Four series of bisbenzoxazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and screened for antiproliferative and antimicrobial activities. Generally, all synthesized bisbenzoxazoles (9–24) displayed significant antiproliferative activity; these effects were shown to be related to oxazole rings and substituents in bisbenzoxazole compounds. Especially, the series bearing chloro-substituent (9–12) exhibited better antiproliferative activity with higher selectivity than the other series (13–24); the IC50 values were observed in the range of 0.045–0.342 µM. Interestingly, only the compound with a nitro substituent (22) showed maximum potency with an IC50 value of 0.011 µM, which is two-fold more active than the standard drug methotrexate, with moderate selectivity. The compounds bearing fluoro-substituent (14–16) were found to exhibit potent antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive Enterococcus faecalis, with a MIC value of 62.5 μg/mL, and moderate activity against Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Only the compound 23 showed potent activity against Escherichia coli, with a MIC value of 62.5 μg/mL. In order to better evaluate the activity results, crystal structures of five different proteins Human Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (PDB ID: 2XP2), CYP2C8dH complexed (PDB ID: 2NNI), factor-human kinase-β enzyme IKK-β enzyme (PDB ID: 4KIK), a tubulin heterodimer complex containing α and β sub-units (PDB ID: 1Z2B) and penicillin-binding protein 4 (PBP4) from Enterococcus faecalis (PDB ID: 6MKI) were used in the docking study to examine antiproliferative and antimicrobial activity. Finally, an ADMET screening test was applied to determine the drug-like, toxicological, and optimum physicochemical properties for all of the synthesized compounds. The strategy applied in this research may act as a perspective for the rational design of potential anticancer drugs. Four series of sixteen bisbenzoxazole derivatives has been designed and synthesized. All compounds were evaluated to be antiproliferative and antimicrobial activity. The series bearing chloro-substituent exhibited better antiproliferative activity. The compounds bearing fluoro-substituent were found to exhibit potent antibacterial activity. ADMET screening test was applied to determine the drug-like, toxicological, and optimum physicochemical properties for all of the synthesized compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mainstream economics reduces concepts of social capital and civil society to means for profit and competition, reproducing inequality and power. Alternative approaches identify social capital with state-society synergy relations and generalized networks of cooperation, which enable the civil society to promote solidarity, democracy, public policy, social change, and welfare. Similarly, Post-Keynesian Institutionalism recognizes the creative role of the state, democratic institutions, and civic values. However, questions remain regarding how social groups and the state interact and promote change. This article seeks to fill that void by connecting these analyses with the literature on the commons and participatory and deliberative democracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Thomas Middleton's The Revenger's Tragedy, we learn that a revenger must be 'strange-disposed' or 'strange-composed' (1.1.86/96), and in Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher's The Maid's Tragedy the vengeful Amintor claims 'what a strange thing am I' (2.1.298). In these utterances, the speakers tie their desires for vengeance into their affective state. As both plays progress, however, the evocations of strangeness shift, moving from an association with the revenger to an association with the act of revenge itself. In working to unpack the interrelationships between the revenger, the strangeness of their affective experience and the strangeness of the act of revenge itself, this article considers what questions these plays ask regarding the tension between embodiment and disembodiment in the act of revenge.

A resurgence of agrarianism has motivated new farmers to enter farming, not for profit, but for lifestyle and socio‐ecological values which are frequently associated with diverse economies. Proponents of diverse economies argue for an ontological reframing that accounts for non‐capitalist forms of economic exchange. However, these perspectives have not fully addressed the conditions—often structured by race and class—that facilitate participation in diverse economies. This paper is based on mixed‐methods research on the life cycle of new farmers in Hawai'i that include participants of farmer training programs. We investigate what drives new farmers into farming, by what mechanisms they are able (or not) to establish a farm, and what limits the duration of their participation. Our analysis reveals three contradictions of diverse economies in agriculture: (1) the inadvertent undervaluation of farmwork that undermines broader efforts to improve the welfare of farm labor; (2) the tension between the value of scaling up and the vulnerability of cooptation; and (3) the ways in which the duration of new farmers' engagement is structured by their ability to mobilize unpaid labor and external resources. These contradictions challenge long‐term and inclusive participation in diverse economies in ways that constrain their emancipatory potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Succeeding waves of mobilisation for the separate state of Gorkhaland has left an indelible imprint on the cultural, political and urban landscape of the Darjeeling Hills. Based on empirical research, this paper tries to explore the intricate relationship between ethnicity, place and politics of belonging in the Himalayan town of Kalimpong. It specifically tries to locate the interface between political events and the transformation of the urban landscape by taking into consideration the growth of roadside settlements. While noting the specific contours of these settlements, their culture and their liminal condition, the paper tries to address the issues pertaining to place-making and identity formation in the Himalayan region.

As studies quantifying steroid hormones in marine mammal blubber progress, methodological refinements may improve the utility and consistency of blubber hormone measurements. This study advances blubber extraction methodologies by testing a simplified extraction protocol that reduces time and complexity compared to a protocol widely used in cetacean blubber studies. Using blubber samples archived from remote biopsy (n  = 21 live whales) and necropsy collection (n  = 7 dead whales) of North Atlantic right whales (NARW; Eubalaena glacialis) of known life history states, we performed analytical and biological validations to assess the feasibility of measuring reproductive (testosterone, progesterone) and glucocorticoid (cortisol) hormones in blubber via enzyme immunoassay following the simplified extraction. Analytical validations (parallelism, accuracy, extraction efficiency, repeatability) showed the simplified extraction produced similar results to the extended protocol, offering a more efficient and consistent technique. In live, apparently healthy whales, blubber testosterone concentrations (mean ± SE) were significantly higher in males (2.02 ± 0.36 ng/g) compared to females (0.81 ± 0.15 ng/g). Blubber progesterone was highest in a confirmed pregnant female (60.3 ng/g), which was 12-fold greater than the mean concentration of non-pregnant females (4.56 ± 0.88 ng/g). Blubber cortisol concentrations in whales that died from anthropogenic causes averaged 5.31 ± 2.28 ng/g, whereas most live, healthy whales had cortisol values below 1 ng/g. Among living whales, a whale actively entangled in fishing gear had the highest blubber cortisol measurement (3.51 ng/g), exhibiting levels similar to whales that died from acute entanglement (2.88 ± 0.42 ng/g). Overall, the highest blubber cortisol concentration (18.0 ng/g) was measured in a dead whale with a severe chronic entanglement, approximately 30-fold greater than mean blubber cortisol of apparently healthy whales (0.58 ± 0.11 ng/g). The methodological approach presented here provides a reference for researchers interested in an alternative, streamlined technique for hormone extraction of cetacean blubber and contributes to the diverse tool set for stress and reproductive assessments of endangered NARWs.

Background: Dissemination of accurate health research information to patients and families has become increasingly important with the rise of the internet as a means of finding health information. However, the public faces several barriers to accessing research information, including paywalls and technical jargon. One method to bridge this gap between patients, families, and research is using lay summaries. SCAsource is an online knowledge translation platform where peer-reviewed research papers on ataxia are translated into lay summaries. This online platform was launched in September 2018, with the goal of making ataxia research more accessible and understandable to patients and families. A secondary goal is to provide opportunities for ataxia researchers to develop and hone their knowledge translation skills, altogether improving the quality of patient communication in the ataxia community. Aim: The aim of this study was to measure the impact of SCAsource on its readers and volunteer contributors after one year of activity. This is to ensure SCAsource is meeting its goals of (1) improving access and understanding of ataxia research to lay audiences, and (2) improving knowledge translation skills of volunteer contributors. Methods: Two online surveys were launched, one for readers and one for volunteers. Each survey had a combination of multiple-choice, Likert-scale type, and open-ended short-answer questions. Descriptive quantitative analysis was used for respondent characteristics and Likert-type data. A grounded theory coding approach was used to analyze narrative feedback data. Results: We found that SCAsource has mutually beneficial outcomes for both lay person readers and volunteer contributors. Readers have an increased understanding of ataxia research and access to up-to-date information on recent publications. Volunteers develop knowledge translation skills and have increased confidence in communicating results to lay audiences. Areas of improvement were identified to be incorporated into the platform. Conclusion: We demonstrated that SCAsource improves access to information and understanding of research to lay audiences, while providing opportunities for researchers to develop knowledge translation skills. This framework can potentially be used by other rare disease organizations to launch and evaluate their own knowledge translation websites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The contemporary international development agenda addresses several important gender issues, including the contribution of unpaid care work (UCW) to human well-being. The inclusion of UCW into the mainstream policy debate is undoubtedly a major milestone in the history of feminist scholarship and activism. However, we argue that the universalistic and capitalocentric assumptions laden in the dominant policy discourse belie the diversity of the lived experiences and subjective meanings of UCW often performed by women and girls in different cultural and geographical contexts, particularly in the predominantly agrarian global South. We draw on participatory and visual ethnographic fieldwork to show that rural women in Tanzania perceive UCW as an experience that entails not only physical toil and drudgery, but also positive emotions of joy, satisfaction, and fulfilment, which are integral to affirming their self-perceived identities and roles as farmers and mothers in their communities. These material, affective, and symbolic dimensions of UCW emerge from agrarian women's situated knowledges and experiences of ensuring household social reproduction on and with the land, as well as the gender relations and seasonal dynamics that shape the organization of work tasks in agrarian landscapes. To achieve transnational gender justice, we suggest that a more fine-tuned and nuanced approach to understanding the variability and complexity of care work as practiced and perceived by heterogeneous groups of women (and men) in particular places and times is needed.

This article discusses the votive dedications to the goddess Reitia at the sanctuary of Este-Baratella (Veneto) as evidence for the acquisition of literacy in Italy c. 350–150 b.c. These dedications, which take the form of bronze writing-tablets and styluses, are inscribed with Venetic dedicatory formulae, abecedaria and other writing exercises. This article shows how these texts function as writing exercises — some of the earliest evidence of elementary education methods in Italy. Many of the votives were dedicated by women, and this article argues that women were active participants in literacy and education in this period. It also sets the dedications in their Italian and Mediterranean context by comparing them to votive and funerary deposits of abecedaria from across Italy and the ancient world.

Here, we analyzed baleen samples for both GC hormones ( I i.e i ., immunoreactive cortisol and corticosterone and/or their metabolites) along the length of a baleen plate from an 11.1 m juvenile male bowhead whale that was severely entangled in fishing rope when it died. Immunoreactive cortisol and corticosterone were both measurable in baleen from 17B6, and baseline corticosterone concentrations were over 3-fold higher than baseline cortisol. This is consistent with other recent studies of GCs in baleen, in which corticosterone concentrations were up to 4-fold higher than cortisol in baleen (Hunt I et al i . Therefore, baseline concentration of corticosterone within baleen may be increased relative to cortisol due to its greater lipophilicity or other properties that enhance its retention within the baleen matrix.

Purpose: To estimate the population-based incidence of HPV vaccination after childhood cancer.Methods: Pediatric and young adult cancer survivors identified in the institutional Comprehensive Cancer Center registry were linked to the North Carolina Immunization Registry (NCIR). Initiation and completion of any HPV vaccine was evaluated in survivors born between 1984 and 2002 with an NCIR record by December 2014. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence were stratified by sex and age at eligibility for vaccine. Cox proportional hazards were conducted and stratified by sex.Results: Among 879 (n = 428 female; n = 451 male) study-eligible cancer survivors without prior HPV vaccination (n = 501 < 18 years, n = 378 ≥ 18 years at the time of eligibility), the cumulative incidence of HPV vaccine initiation following cancer therapy was 48.1% among females at 8.2 years and 29.2% among males at 5.0 years after vaccine eligibility among those < 18 years, and 6.2% among females at 8.1 years and 2.0% among males at 4.2 years after vaccine eligibility among those ≥ 18 years. Among those who initiated vaccination, 53% of females and 43% of males completed a 3-dose series. Younger age at cancer diagnosis (≤ 10 and 11-14 years vs. ≥ 15 years) and shorter interval from diagnosis to vaccine eligibility were more likely to initiate vaccination in models adjusted for age at eligibility, race/ethnicity, cancer type, relapse, and transplant.Conclusions: Despite the benefit of a cancer prevention strategy, cancer survivors are sub-optimally vaccinated against HPV.Implications For Cancer Survivors: Immunization registries can help oncologists and primary care providers identify gaps in vaccination and target HPV vaccine delivery in survivors.

How do self-employed people count the time that they spend working? I consider this question, in the context of contemporary Northeastern Brazil, by returning to the classic anthropological problem of peasant time accounting. In the drylands of Bahia, smallholding farmers today tend to support themselves through cyclical labor migration between countryside and city. I focus on two sites of self-employment along this circuit: marketplace hawking in the city and peasant farming in the countryside. Contrary to earlier literature, I find that small farmers do indeed measure their work time in money terms. They do this even when they are working for themselves—even when no money actually changes hands. It is as if they count out a phantom wage. Strikingly, Bahians are much less likely to account their time as money when they work in the urban marketplace. Nonetheless, an important parallel connects the small farmer and the marketplace vendor. Although they use divergent techniques to measure their work time, both the vendors and the farmers draw a line to separate time that is counted from time that remains uncounted. To maintain this distinction—between the counted and the uncounted—is a core dilemma of the self-employee. I argue that the distinction operates so as to render time homogeneous—in other words, substantial, self-identical, and sequential. At the point where farmers and vendors watch their time [End Page 663] turn homogenous, it becomes possible to understand self-employment as a class relationship. Class comes into focus as a kind of relation to time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the recent transnational turn in sexology studies, scholars have been highly effective in demonstrating the dialogical nature of exchanges between sexologists and other professionals. Even so, the problem of what counts as ‘sexological’ still haunts the field. One way to circumvent this impasse on the vexing question of disciplinarity is to, first, think about knowledge production in relation to knowledge exchange and second, bring gender into the frame. Drawing on the critique of popularisation developed by historians and sociologists of science, this article turns to the British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology as a case study to argue that popularisation is a blunt instrument, providing limited understanding of the gendered nature of knowledge acquisition and circulation. A different model – termed ‘ventilation’ – allows the historian to step outside the logic of popularisation to explain how dissemination itself bestowed agency to ordinary women and men, who became co-producers of modern sexual knowledge.

This article focuses on the time the African American performer Florence Mills spent in Britain in the 1920s. Mills was one of the most popular performers of the period, taking a lead in African American vaudeville productions, she was admired by working class and 'elite' black and white audiences. Our paper examines four examples of Mills' British fan mail alongside newspaper reports of her performances in London. These reveal complex themes of identity, of Britishness, sexuality, gender and class within the context of changing international understandings of race relations in the Inter-war period. We utilise these letters alongside newspaper reports to consider how Mills' presence in Britain as a performer and anti-racist activist influenced debates and personal reflections on racial identity, sexual desire and belonging to Britain.

Abstract Ecological urgency requires taking the time to critique capitalist temporalities. At various timescales including daily, lifetime, macroeconomic and deep times, I argue that capitalocentric temporalities can be conceptualized as "uchronia." Fetishizing time as capitalist futurity (eu-chronos), these temporalities disconnect us from our times (ou-chronos). At stake is the contestation of hegemonic capitalocentric temporalities and a reversal of common dismissals of environmentalist critiques as "utopian." Also at stake is an exhortation for environmental thought to quit self-proclaiming a green "utopianism" detrimental to its credibility. Finally, nature and the human must be rethought beyond capitalo-telic terms and to overcome optimism and pessimism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In spite of the growing public focus on domestic violence (DV) in mainstream Australian society, ethnographers have remained aloof from analysing this problem. In an ethnographic study in the Brisbane region, I analysed people's perceptions of anti-violence images that were part of a public campaign and assessed the appropriateness of the images' locations. Occasionally, my interlocutors unexpectedly included accounts of DV. My analysis reveals the tensions between public display and the concealment underlying the campaign. The interlocutors revealed experiences of competing responsibilities related to DV. The use of subtle images of anti-violence in locations fi lled with competing images, coupled with a failure to consider historical continuities and changes in local imaginaries of violence, exposed the difficulties associated with conveying persuasive messages of DV prevention.
