1. A Cosmography of Man : Character Sketches in 'The Tatler' and 'The Spectator'

Abstract

Designed to reform contemporary British society, Joseph Addison and Richard Steele's The Tatler (1709-1711) and The Spectator (1711-1712, 1714) rely heavily on the representation of contemporary manners. In shaping such behavioural images, the authors made use of the satirical character sketch. Their character sketches (re)create social interactions between fictionalised representatives of moral types of men and women located in contemporary London. This study examines how Addison and Steele employed the character sketch to create a ‘cosmography'of (wo)man by actively engaging with the observational approaches of contemporary naturalists. Addison and Steele adapted distinctly empirical methods (e.g. induction and deduction, note taking, repeated and collective observation) and appropriated the (medico-legal) case study to communicate and disseminate socio-moral knowledge. At the same time, the character sketch served them as a means to establish a taxonomic order of the socio-moral knowledge conveyed in the texts. The study sheds new light on the literary techniques and the methodological frameworks of two journals essentially associated with the British - and the European - Enlightenment.

Abstract

First presented at the conference ‘Intercontinental Cross-Currents: Women's (Net-)Works across Europe and the Americas (1789–1939)'in Wittenberg, Germany, in December 2013, the papers assembled in this volume trace nineteenth-century women's networks inside and outside historical movements and literary texts, in diverse genres, at various historical moments, and from different vantage points. Considered together, the contributions attest to the potential of a woman-centered approach to transatlantic historiographical, cultural, and literary studies. Very much like the people, texts, and objects they examine, they are transatlantic in scope and perspective. Truly inspired by the idea and concept of the Atlantic Crosscurrents, these essays confirm and emphasize interdisciplinarity and methodological variety in (trans-)Atlantic studies.

Abstract

Introduction: Previous studies demonstrated a continues decline in fetal growth throughout singleton pregnancy after bariatric surgery. However, intrauterine growth in twin pregnancy is subjected to further underlying processes. This study was to investigate the longitudinal assessment of fetal biometry and abdominal fat thickness of twin pregnancies conceived after gastric bypass surgery and compare them to BMI-matched and obese controls. Materials and methods: We retrospectively assessed ultrasound data of 30 women with dichorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancy (11 women after gastric bypass surgery, 9 obese mothers with pregestational BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² and 10 BMI and age matched controls). We assessed fetal growth parameters including fetal subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness (FSCTT) as well as newborn biometry after delivery. Patient characteristics were obtained from the medical records. Results: The rise in FSCTT curves was markedly slower in twin offspring of women with history of gastric bypass as compared to offspring of obese mothers and offspring of BMI matched controls. Hence, FSCTT was significantly decreased in gastric bypass offspring as compared to both control groups at 34 weeks of gestation. Also, growth curves of abdominal circumference were decreased in offspring of gastric bypass patients as compared to obese mothers. Infants of mothers with history of gastric bypass showed significantly lower birth weight percentiles compared to newborns of obese mothers (27.2 vs 48.8 pct, p=0.025). There was no significant difference in inter twin birth weight difference between offspring of gastric bypass (median: 9.9%, IQR: 6.5 to 20.0) vs. obese (median: 14.6%, IQR: 8.2 to 21.6) and BMI matched controls (median: 9.0%, IQR: 6.3 to 12.6, p=0.714). Conclusions: In summary, intrauterine growth delay in twin pregnancies after GB is assumed to be a multifactorial event with altered metabolism as the most important factor. However, special attention must be paid to the particularity of twin pregnancies as they seem to be subject to other additional mechanism.
