This chapter examines the evolution of unionism in Northern Ireland since it unexpectedly and paradoxically found itself under Home Rule, which its leading politicians had raised a private army to prevent. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK in which primordial Unionism, that is, the belief that the Union is good in and for itself, survives. But even so, primordialism runs in different streams — military, religious, intellectual — whose waters scarcely mix.Less

This chapter analyses what is now called the West Lothian Question (WLQ) after its persistent poser Tam Dalyell MP (formerly for West Lothian). The WLQ asks: Given partial devolution, why can an MP for a devolved territory become involved in devolved matters in England, but not in his own constituency? It has been said that ‘the WLQ is not really a question: every time it is answered, Tam just waits for a bit and then asks it again’. But that merely shows what a persistently nagging question it has been since long before Tam Dalyell. In fact, it was sufficient (although not necessary) to bring down both of Gladstone’s Home Rule Bills (1886 and 1893). The chapter shows how problematic all the proposed solutions are, especially when dealing with divided government where one UK-wide party controls a territory and the other controls the UK government. However, if devolution is to be stable, the governments and parties will have to live with the WLQ. New conventions for cohabitation will arise, and the UK and devolved party systems may diverge, even if party labels do not. The UK electorate treats everything except UK General Elections as second-order.Less

This chapter explores the considerable expansion and intensification of cross-boundary relations between Hong Kong and the Mainland in the years since 1997, and especially since 2003. Greater integration has brought new challenges to health, environmental and transport policies and has given rise to greater co-ordination of economic and infrastructural programmes. The urge to regulate cross-boundary interactions has caused the government to move away from the tradition of “positive non-interventionism” towards a more activist, interventionist role. The huge growth in cross-boundary activities and co-operation since 1997 has also prompted the government to reform and expand its institutional framework for managing these activities and co-ordination with the mainland authorities.Less

This chapter shows how different prepositions specify different aspects of the location vectors and of the spatial extents of the fields in different directions. Animal studies provide evidence that vector-based representations are employed in spatial cognition. This work addresses the issue of how different spatial relations are encoded within a vector-based representation called a cognitive map, which is an absolute or allocentric spatial representation of the environment. This chapter introduces the Boundary Vector Cell model, which assumes that place cells —representing certain locations in space—take their input from Boundary Vector Cells (BVCs). The properties of the BVCs and place cells cooperate to form graded regions; regions that are not isotropic, but represent a continuous acceptability gradient for many different spatial prepositions.Less

This chapter looks in detail the various demands placed by leading political parties on how the border should drawn once the decision to partition had been taken. In addition it looks at petitions from local civic bodies and individuals, both Hindus and Muslims on where and why they perceived the border should be drawn. The chapter argues that although the border was central to the Partition process, it was undermined by several factors beyond the control of the parties involved. The very basis of the task involving religious demography was bound to fail and ultimately the Boundary Award failed to please anyone. However, the debates surrounding the Award shows us that rather than being passive bystanders or communally guided ideologues, the Bengali public felt and expressed a desire not only to be a part of the decision process but also to be able to claim a stake in their political futures.Less

This chapter examines the impact of the Boundary Award on the lives of people who lived in the borderland and those who attempted to cross it. It shows how the new border becomes an economic and national frontier, criminalizing the traditional passage of goods and people. Border disputes along the Bengal border became national talking points between India and East Pakistan, even as border policy was implemented at the discretion and contextual interpretations of officials on the ground. It traces the establishment of a documentary regime at the border which now categorized border crossers differentially as legal migrants, refugees, aliens and foreigners. However, such limits were continuously tested by the movement of smuggled goods and by people who circumvented the government channels of border outposts and documentary control.Less

Examples of the value that can be created and captured through crowdsourcing go back to at least 1714, when the UK used crowdsourcing to solve the Longitude Problem, obtaining a solution that would enable the UK to become the dominant maritime force of its time. Today, Wikipedia uses crowds to provide entries for the world’s largest and free encyclopedia. Partly fueled by the value that can be created and captured through crowdsourcing, interest in researching the phenomenon has been remarkable. For example, the Best Paper Awards in 2012 for a record-setting three journals—the Academy of Management Review, Journal of Product Innovation Management, and Academy of Management Perspectives—were about crowdsourcing. In spite of the interest in crowdsourcing—or perhaps because of it—research on the phenomenon has been conducted in different research silos within the fields of management (from strategy to finance to operations to information systems), biology, communications, computer science, economics, political science, among others. In these silos, crowdsourcing takes names such as broadcast search, innovation tournaments, crowdfunding, community innovation, distributed innovation, collective intelligence, open source, crowdpower, and even open innovation. The book aims to assemble papers from as many of these silos as possible since the ultimate potential of crowdsourcing research is likely to be attained only by bridging them. The papers provide a systematic overview of the research on crowdsourcing from different fields based on a more encompassing definition of the concept, its difference for innovation, and its value for both the private and public sectors.Less

This chapter shows how Cao Xueqin used food and beverages to mark boundaries between the pure and the profane in the Jia clan mansions. The division between purity and profanity in the novel stands as the core of the moral and spiritual problems it explores. Previous research has explored the roles of sex, age, space and art, for example, in signalling shifts in the stability of the distinction between purity and profanity. This paper extends that framework to examine the role that food and drink play in the pollution of the protected world of Daguan yuan (Prospect Garden). It argues that Cao Xueqin provided readers with keys presaging the dismantling of the garden and the decline of the Jia family in his use of food and drink and in the discussion about their exchange and consumption.Less

It is found experimentally that all the components of fluid velocity (not just thenormal component) vanish at a wall. No matter how small the viscosity, the large velocity gradients near a wall invalidate Euler’s equations. Prandtl proposed that viscosity has negligible effect except near a thin region near a wall. Prandtl’s equations simplify the Navier-Stokes equation in this boundary layer, by ignoring one dimension. They have an unusual scale invariance in which the distances along the boundary and perpendicular to it have different dimensions. Using this symmetry, Blasius reduced Prandtl’s equations to one dimension. They can then be solved numerically. A convergent analytic approximation was also found by H. Weyl. The drag on a flat plate can now be derived, resolving d’Alembert’s paradox. When the boundary is too long, Prandtl’s theory breaks down: the boundary layer becomes turbulent or separates from the wall.Less

Elite residents of Charleston, South Carolina, sought a unique means of memorializing their dead: gravestones embellished with bust-length depictions of the deceased. Commissioned from stone carvers in Boston, these portrait gravestones reimagined the small, ivory form of the portrait miniature at a public scale suitable for the cemetery. This chapter examines why Charlestonians patronized this type of memorial, tying the gravestones to residents’ horror at the savagery unleashed upon corpses by putrefaction and to their desire to preserve bodies’ former politeness. Considering portrait gravestones along with mourning rituals and coffin construction illuminates the stones’ role as protective containers that kept savagery at bay, an important function given Charleston’s high death rate and steamy climate. Recognizing the memorials’ similarity to boundary markers, such as those erected to mark the Mason Dixon line, illuminates how the gravestones demarcated a space of colonial control. By erecting stone portraits of civil persons, Charlestonians created a social network with incredible permanence.Less

This book addresses the analytical consequences of the encounter between West Indian and Briton. West Indian emigrants came from societies well advanced in the prerequisites of breaking from colonialism. The West Indian presence created new possibilities within the metropolitan culture for the issues to be spoken. West Indian exiles in London played a decisive role. For West Indians to ‘become’ postcolonial they were required to destroy the external authority of the British. The Pleasures of Exile and Beyond a Boundary represent the theorisation of the migrant view of England. Through the 1960s, West Indians in Britain were alive to the cultural developments in the newly independent countries of black Africa, and representatives of a new generation of black African novelists found in the Caribbean Artists Movement a welcoming home.Less

In his theory of subjectivity, Jean-Luc Nancy speaks of ‘abandoned being’: ‘From now on the ontology that summons us will be an ontology in which abandonment remains the sole predicament of being, in which it even remains—in the scholastic sense of the word—the transcendental’. For Nancy ‘abandoned being’ is a solution to the problem of western discourse with its obsession with representation defined in such terms as appropriation, fulfilment, destination and so forth: ‘“the West” is precisely what designates itself as limit, as demarcation, even when it ceaselessly pushes back the frontiers of its imperium’. I engage with Nancy’s problematisation by analysing a film that situates knowledge, literally, at the frontier of the ‘imperium’. Mikhail Kalatozishvili’s The Wild Field (2008) deals with the problems of presence as identified by Nancy, by means of exploring post-imperial subjectivity in crisis whereby post-imperial legacy designates the demarcations of knowledge and being after crisis, involving re-negotiations of being in a world that has escaped the ontological ‘closure’ determined by the imperatives of representation. I argue the symbolic mode opens being to transcendental inferences when the subject confronts gaps in discourse in the state of impartation and dislocation.Less

The conclusion looks back over the study, which consists of two parts. Part I shows the necessity of a study of bodies and magnitudes for the project of Aristotelian physical science. An analysis of the notion of body is crucial for the physicist. Part II identifies a theory of body in Aristotle. Although Aristotle does not devote several continuous chapters in his works to an analysis of body and magnitude as he does with motion, time, and place, passages scattered over the corpus Aristotelicum offers us a unified and elegant analysis of the notion of body. This final chapter closes by situating this study in the wider context of Aristotelian scholarship.Less

Chapter seven provides a reflection on what it means to be constituted in a particular food tradition. Food it is a central part of identity that has not been fully accounted for in communication scholarship. Southern food never has been one thing; in fact, the food works more effectively rhetorically when defined more broadly, pushing against the borders of foods and bringing more people into the conversation. Although there is potential for using Southern food as one of the tools to redefine the South, we must acknowledge there are many wrongs that must be dealt with, not only through studying culture and its history, but also through economic policy, political change, improvements in education, and infrastructure work. The rhetorical potential of Southern food is but one small part of the story of our shared past and future, but it is an important part and it is a story worth telling.Less

This chapter explores the ways in which the boundaries of authentic swimming are negotiated and maintained. Drawing on case studies of contested marathon swims, the chapter focuses on the necessary arbitrariness of the rules and the centrality of ‘respect’ to the construction of authenticity. The chapter argues that the ongoing boundary work of defining and authorising marathon swimming is both an inward and outward-facing task that attempts to shore up the boundaries of legitimate marathon swimming and distinguish it from related and intersecting (sub) worlds. This demonstrates the ways in which the work of becoming a marathon swimmer is never only about the embodied transformations discussed in earlier chapters, or a completed swim, but is also about the overt performance of a set of values.Less

This chapter turns attention to teenagers’ social relations within and between the localities in which they reside. The chapter commences by discussing young people’s perceptions and experiences of sectarianism including how, for some, telling who is a Catholic and who is a Protestant remains a practice engaged in by some teenagers from both communities. At times, these expressions of difference result in ‘recreational rioting’ at the boundaries of segregated areas and teenagers’ attitudes to and experiences of such rioting will be outlined. Teenagers’ knowledge of the ‘Troubles’ and how this knowledge is linked to the inter-generational transfer of memory is also outlined. The chapter concludes by examining young people’s experiences of boundary crossing.Less

The Afghan-Pakistan border is an inhospitable porous region where extremism has thrived. A large number of border tribes from Balochistan and NWFP/FATA have their land on Afghan territory and regularly visit for cultivation and business. To secure the border a multitier progressive strategy involving political leaders, administration, local influential notables, and local populations is required. At the geopolitical level, Pakistan and Afghanistan have three clear and simple demands of each other; both states should have friendly governments that recognize the territorial boundaries and jurisdiction of each other, neither should allow hostile powers to have sanctuaries for activities against each other’s security, and both should proactively engage and facilitate trade, transit, and energy routes between Central and South Asia. The author concludes that the U.S. is the only power that can provide the leadership to bring together diverse stakeholders into an agreement for regional prosperity, and to defeat extremism.Less

This chapter summarizes every element of the ceremonial complex, with a focus on one particular element, going to water, and assesses change and persistence in the complex, making use of received scholarship and data from the author's cultural consultation. It juxtaposes the observations of three ethnographers in order to accomplish this task: James Mooney's at the turn of the twentieth century, Raymond Fogelson's from the late 1950s to 1962, and this author's from the late 1990s to 2007. The chapter begins with a summation of a watershed event in Cherokee history, the shift from a hereditary caste of priests to a system of individual practitioners, and presents an annotated list of the ritual actions included in the ceremonial complex. It also includes an assessment of the “religious landscape” on the Qualla Boundary at the turn of the twenty-first century.Less

This chapter focuses on figures of marginality and censorship in the translations, looking at the ideological and poetic resonance of translators’ choices which can be traced in the treatment of partly repressed desire, gendered language and point of view. It situates their translation praxis within modernist experiments with dialogic or contrapuntal voice, contrasting it with the narrative smoothness and control associated with nineteenth-century realism. It offers a detailed study of Woolf and Koteliansky’s translation of the censored chapters of Dostoevsky’s The Devils. Moving on to the other co-translations, it studies representations of the child, the prostitute and seductresses, before evoking more deeply embedded networks of homo-erotic desire. The chapter concludes with a study of Mansfield and Koteliansky’s translation of an unpublished prose-poem by Tolstoy.Less
