Performing Specimens
Authors: Bouchard Gianna 
Published: January 2020

Through an examination of examples from performance, museum displays and popular culture that stage the body as a specimen, this book maps out the relations between these performative acts and medical practices of collecting, storing and showing specimens in a variety of modes and contexts. Moving from an examination of the medical and historical contexts of specimen display in the museum and the anatomy theatre to contemporary performance, the book engages with examples from live art, bio-art, popular culture and theatre that stage the performer’s body as a specimen. It examines the ethical relationships involved in these particular moments of display – both in the staging and in how we look at the specimen body. It is of interest to those working in the fields of theatre, performance and the medical humanities, with a specific focus on the ethics of display and the ethics of spectatorship, emerging at the intersection of performance and medicine.
Among the works and examples considered are 18th-century anatomical waxes from the Museo di Storia Naturale la Specola in Florence, Italy, and their contemporary version in the Bodyworlds exhibition of ‘plastinated’ corpses; organ retention scandals; current legislation, such as the Human Tissue Act 2004; the work of performance company Clod Ensemble (UK) and Stein|Holum Projects (USA), the performer and disability activist, Mat Fraser (UK) and live artist, Martin O’Brien (UK), alongside visual artist Helen Pynor (Australia), besides artists Peggy Shaw (US/UK), ORLAN (France) and Kira O’Reilly (Finland).
The Methuen Drama Companion to Performance Art
Authors: Ferdman Bertie , Stokic Jovana 
Published: January 2020

The Methuen Drama Companion to Performance Art offers a comprehensive guide to the major issues and interdisciplinary debates concerning performance in art contexts that have developed over the last decade. It understands performance art as an institutional, cultural, and economic phenomenon rather than as a label or object. Following the ever-increasing institutionalization and mainstreaming of performance, the book’s chapters identify a marked change in the economies and labor practices surrounding performance art, and explore how this development is reflective of capitalist approaches to art and event production. Embracing what we perceive to be the 'oxymoronic status' of performance art—where it is simultaneously precarious and highly profitable—the essays in this book map the myriad gestures and radical possibilities of this extreme contradiction.
This Companion adopts an interdisciplinary perspective to present performance art’s legacies and its current practices. It brings together specially commissioned essays from leading innovative scholars from a wide range of approaches including art history, visual and performance studies, dance and theatre scholarship in order to provide a comprehensive and multifocal overview of the emerging research trends and methodologies devoted to performance art.
Japan beyond the Kimono
Authors: Hall Jenny 
Published: January 2020

In the ancient city of Kyoto, contemporary artisans and designers are using heritage techniques and traditional clothing aesthetics to reinvent wafuku (Japanese clothing, including kimono) for modern life. Japan beyond the Kimono explores these shifts, highlighting developments in the Kyoto fashion industry such as its integration of digital weaving and printing techniques and the influence of social media on fashion distribution systems.
Through case studies of designers, artisans, and retailers, Jenny Hall provides a comprehensive picture of the reasons behind the production and consumption of these rejuvenated fashion goods. She argues that conceptualisations of Japanese tradition include innovation and change, which is vital to understanding how Japanese cultural heritage is both sustained and evolving.
Essential reading for students and scholars of fashion, anthropology, and Japanese studies, Jenny Hall’s sensory ethnography is the first of its kind, describing the lived experiences of people in the Kyoto textiles industry, explaining the renewal of traditional techniques and styles, and placing them both within contexts such as transnational ‘craftscapes’ and fast or slow fashion systems.
Fashion and Class
Authors: Worth Rachel 
Published: January 2020

In what ways do changing notions of social class correspond with key developments in the history of fashion? Focusing on examples ranging from 18th-century Britain to aspects of the global fashion industry in the early 21st century, Fashion and Class examines the meaning and evolution of the term ‘class’, from its Marxist origins to modern day interpretations. Did industrialisation, technological change and developments in fashion retailing bring about a degree of ‘class levelling’ or in fact intensify class antagonism? And to what extent does modern mass consumption and cheap labour revive some of the ethical issues faced in 19th-century British textile factories?
Exploring a variety of case studies that examine the changing relationships between fashion and class in different historical contexts, from the French revolutionaries of the 1780-90s through to the changing relationships between couture, designer and high-street fashion in the mid-20th century and onwards, Fashion and Class is essential reading for those wishing to understand the ways in which the fashion system is closely connected with ideas of class.
David Bowie's Diamond Dogs
Authors: Hendler Glenn 
Published: January 2020

After his breakthrough with Ziggy Stardust and before his U.S. pop hits "Fame" and "Golden Years" David Bowie produced a dark and difficult concept album set in a post-apocalytic "Hunger City" populated by post-human "mutants." Diamond Dogs includes the great glam anthem "Rebel Rebel" and utterly unique songs that combine lush romantic piano and nearly operatic singing with scratching, grungy guitars, creepy, insidious noises, and dark, pessimistic lyrics that reflect the album's origins in a projected Broadway musical version of Orwell's 1984 and Bowie's formative encounter with William S. Burroughs.
In this book Glenn Hendler shows that each song on Diamond Dogs shifts the ground under you as you listen, not just by changing in musical style, but by being sung by a different "I" who directly addresses a different "you." Diamond Dogs is the product of a performer at the peak of his powers but uncomfortable with the rock star role he had constructed. All of the album's influences looked to Bowie like ways of escaping not just the Ziggy role, but also the constraints of race, gender, sexuality, and nationality. These are just some of the reasons many Bowie fans rate Diamond Dogs his richest and most important album of the 1970s.
Glacial sedimentation, fluxes and erosion rates associated with ice retreat in Petermann Fjord and Nares Strait, north-west Greenland

Abstract. Petermann Fjord is a deep (>1000 m) fjord
that incises the coastline of north-west Greenland and was carved by an
expanded Petermann Glacier, one of the six largest outlet glaciers draining
the modern Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Between 5 and 70 m of unconsolidated
glacigenic material infills in the fjord and adjacent Nares Strait,
deposited as the Petermann and Nares Strait ice streams retreated through
the area after the Last Glacial Maximum. We have investigated the deglacial
deposits using seismic stratigraphic techniques and have correlated our
results with high-resolution bathymetric data and core lithofacies. We
identify six seismo-acoustic facies in more than 3500 line kilometres of sub-bottom
and seismic-reflection profiles throughout the fjord, Hall Basin and Kennedy
Channel. Seismo-acoustic facies relate to bedrock or till surfaces (Facies I),
subglacial deposition (Facies II), deposition from meltwater plumes and icebergs in
quiescent glacimarine conditions (Facies III, IV), deposition at grounded ice margins
during stillstands in retreat (grounding-zone wedges; Facies V) and the
redeposition of material downslope (Facies IV). These sediment units represent the
total volume of glacial sediment delivered to the mapped marine environment
during retreat. We calculate a glacial sediment flux for the former
Petermann ice stream as 1080–1420 m3 a−1 per metre of ice stream
width and an average deglacial erosion rate for the basin of 0.29–0.34 mm a−1. Our deglacial erosion rates are consistent with results from
Antarctic Peninsula fjord systems but are several times lower than values
for other modern GrIS catchments. This difference is attributed to fact that
large volumes of surface water do not access the bed in the Petermann system, and we conclude that glacial erosion is limited to areas overridden by
streaming ice in this large outlet glacier setting. Erosion rates are also
presented for two phases of ice retreat and confirm that there is
significant variation in rates over a glacial–deglacial transition. Our new
glacial sediment fluxes and erosion rates show that the Petermann ice stream
was approximately as efficient as the palaeo-Jakobshavn Isbræ at
eroding, transporting and delivering sediment to its margin during early
deglaciation.
The Basil Stories and Social Education
Authors: Berman Ronald 
Published: January 2020

AbstractF. Scott Fitzgerald's stories about Basil Duke Lee have become source material for biographers, who have built up a solid picture of communal life in the Midwest and of educational life in the prep schools of the East. The stories have a good deal more to say about ideas that affected youth culture before the Great War. Basil is put into a number of culturally dramatic situations: how to adjust to the new realities of the twentieth century, which meant recognizing the enormous role now played by institutions. He has to think about things like the “power” that is to be gained on campus, power that has not much to do with intellectual ability. And he has to come to grips with the ways in which such power is obtained. The Basil stories show a series of decisions. They show social life during the 1910s as a matter of activities and events—and also as a system of rules to be profitably obeyed or ruinously disregarded.
“They're coming up!”: Disciplining the Urban Landscape in F. Scott Fitzgerald's “May Day”
Authors: Marinaccio Rocco 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
In “May Day,” F. Scott Fitzgerald represents New York City as a highly contested landscape, marked by the alternating absence and presence of rigid boundaries, and fundamentally segregated by class privilege. Warning against an inadequately disciplined cityscape, Fitzgerald engages central modern-era concerns regarding the identity of the increasingly diversifying city, especially as they were expressed in emerging landscape debates and regulation. Situating “May Day” in this context provides a potent historical grounding for examining the comparative freedoms the story's diverse characters have to traverse the urban landscape, and, more broadly, illuminates how Fitzgerald's developing political and historical understanding both produces his representation of the urban landscape and advocates for the spatial practices (and the embedded social meanings) it expresses.
The Great Gatsbyand the Suppression of War Experience
Authors: Licari T. S. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractWhen F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby, he designed within the novel's elegant prose a suppressed meaning, one that has been overlooked in critical discourse since the book's publication in 1925. Initially, The Great Gatsby was believed to be a period piece set in a decadent “Roaring Twenties” that glorified adultery, alcohol, and wealth. From the 1940s on, its themes were defined as more universal and timeless, emphasizing the gap between romance and reality and the illusory nature of the American Dream. Although critics for the past twenty-five years or so have refocused on period concerns, with the exception of the work of James H. Meredith, Keith Gandal, and a handful of others, the military background of the plot has been taken for granted. This article argues that swimming beneath the surface story of Jay Gatsby's pursuit of the golden girl lies a complex pattern of language and imagery that suggests a different central message behind the novel, one that offers a new way of understanding the evasions of narrator Nick Carraway that have long been debated. As this article demonstrates, The Great Gatsby contains multiple layers of commentary, all related to a single world-altering event: The Great War and the suffering of the soldiers who fought it.
Chlorite and Epidote Mineral Chemistry in Porphyry Ore Systems: A Case Study of the Northparkes District, New South Wales, Australia
Authors: Pacey Adam , Wilkinson Jamie J. , Cooke David R. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Propylitic alteration, characterized by the occurrence of chlorite and epidote, is typically the most extensive and peripheral alteration facies developed around porphyry ore deposits. However, exploration within this alteration domain is particularly challenging, commonly owing to weak or nonexistent whole-rock geochemical gradients and the fact that similar assemblages can be developed in other geologic settings, particularly during low-grade metamorphism. We document and interpret systematic spatial trends in the chemistry of chlorite and epidote from propylitic alteration around the E48 and E26 porphyry Cu-Au deposits of the Northparkes district, New South Wales, Australia. These trends vary as a function of both distance from hydrothermal centers and alteration paragenesis.
The spatial trends identified in porphyry-related chlorite and epidote at Northparkes include (1) a deposit-proximal increase in Ti, As, Sb, and V in epidote and Ti in chlorite, (2) a deposit-distal increase in Co and Li in chlorite and Ba in epidote, and (3) a pronounced halo around deposits in which Mn and Zn in chlorite, as well as Mn, Zn, Pb, and Mg in epidote, are elevated. Chlorite Al/Si ratios and epidote Al/Fe ratios may show behavior similar to that of Mn-Zn or may simply decrease outward, and V and Ni concentrations in chlorite are lowest in the peak Mn-Zn zone. In comparison to porphyry-related samples, chlorite from the regional metamorphic assemblage in the district contains far higher concentrations of Li, Ca, Ba, Pb, and Cu but much less Ti. Similarly, metamorphic epidote contains higher concentrations of Sr, Pb, As, and Sb but less Bi and Ti.
These chlorite and epidote compositional trends are the net result of fluid-mineral partitioning under variable physicochemical conditions within a porphyry magmatic-hydrothermal system. They are most easily explained by the contribution of spent magmatic-derived ore fluid(s) into the propylitic domain. It is envisaged that such fluids experience progressive cooling and reduction in fs2 during outward infiltration into surrounding country rocks, with their pH controlled by the extent of rock-buffering experienced along the fluid pathway.
The welfare of game birds destined for release into the wild: a balance between early life care and preparation for future natural hazards
Authors: Madden JR , Santilli F , Whiteside MA 
Published: January 2020

AbstractGlobally, over 110 million game birds are reared annually and released for recreational hunting. Game birds differ from other reared livestock because they experience two very distinct environments during their lives. Chicks are first reared in captivity for 6-12 weeks under managed, stable conditions and then released into the wild. A limited set of 13 studies have explored how the rearing conditions experienced by chicks influences their pre-release welfare, typically in terms of physical injury (feather-pecking) or behavioural assays of stress responses. However, no studies have considered the specific indicators of welfare of game birds after release. We therefore need to draw from studies that do not specifically investigate welfare but instead ones that examine how rearing environments influence post-release morphology, behaviour and survival. Consequently, we reviewed how reared and wild-born game birds differ and suggest methods by which more naturalistic rearing conditions may be achieved. We noted five areas where artificial rearing deviates substantially from natural conditions: absence of adults; unnatural chick densities; unnatural diet; unnatural physical environment; and exclusion of predation risk. Mimicking or introducing some of these elements in game bird rearing practice could bring two benefits: i) facilitating more natural behaviour by the chicks during rearing; and ii) ensuring that birds after release are better able to cope with natural hazards. Together, these could result in an improved overall welfare for game birds. For example, enrichment of the spatial environment may serve to both improve welfare pre-release and after release into the wild. However, some adaptations may induce poor welfare for a short period in the young birds. For example, exposure to predators may be temporarily stressful, but ultimately such experiences in early life may permit them to better cope with such threats when released into the wild. Therefore, to achieve an optimal welfare for the entirety of a game bird's life, a careful balance between the conditions experienced in early life and adequate preparation for later life in the wild is required.
Does ‘playtime’ reduce stimulus-seeking and other boredom-like behaviour in laboratory ferrets?
Authors: Burn CC , Raffle J , Bizley JK 
Published: January 2020

AbstractMuch environmental enrichment for laboratory animals is intended to enhance animal welfare and normalcy by providing stimulation to reduce ‘boredom’. Behavioural manifestations of boredom include restless sensation-seeking behaviours combined with indicators of sub-optimal arousal. Here, we explored whether these signs could be reduced by extra daily play opportunity in laboratory ferrets (Mustela putorius furo). Specifically, we hypothesised that playtime would reduce restlessness, aggression, sensation-seeking and awake drowsiness, even 24 h later in the home-cage. Female ferrets (n = 14) were group-housed in enriched multi-level cages. Playtime involved exploring a room containing a ball pool, paper bags, balls containing bells, and a familiar interactive human for 1 h. This was repeated on three consecutive mornings, and on the fourth, home-cage behaviour was compared between ferrets which had experienced the playtime treatment versus control cage-mates which had not. Their investigation of stimuli (positive = mouse odour or ball; ambiguous = empty bottle or tea-strainer; and negative = peppermint or bitter apple odour) was also recorded. We then swapped treatments, creating a paired experimental design. Ferrets under control conditions lay awake with their eyes open and screeched significantly more, but slept and sat/stood less, than following playtime. They also contacted negative and ambiguous stimuli for significantly longer under control conditions than following playtime; contact with positive stimuli showed no effects. Attempts to blind the observer to treatments were unsuccessful, so replication is required, but the findings suggest that playtime may have reduced both sub-optimal arousal and restless sensation-seeking behaviour, consistent with reducing boredom.
Not all dogs are equal: perception of canine welfare varies with context
Authors: Cobb ML , Lill A , Bennett PC 
Published: January 2020

AbstractCommunity attitudes drive societal expectations, influencing government and industry regulations that determine standards of care for industries reliant on animals. It is important for dog industry stakeholders to understand public perceptions and attitudes, to inform management strategy priorities relating to animal welfare. This study sought to determine if the welfare status of dogs (Canis familiaris) is important to people and whether the perceived level of welfare varies with dog context (eg companion, protection, stock herding, assistance, sporting, free-roaming, wild, etc). Over 2,000 self-selected adults completed a voluntary, internet-based questionnaire. Responses were received from more than twelve countries and from a range of stakeholders with varied experiences. Perceived welfare status of dogs varied significantly across 17 dog contexts and roles, from extremely low (eg fighting dogs) to very high (eg guide dogs). Over 95% of respondents agreed that the welfare of dogs was very important to them. Demographic features of respondents did not relate to meaningful differences in reported importance of canine welfare or ratings of perceived welfare of dogs. The constructs underlying how people perceive the welfare of dogs appear complex and multi-dimensional. As public scrutiny forces reassessment of the welfare status of animals used in various contexts, proactive management of perceived welfare issues by companion and working dog industry stakeholders, including government, industry organisations, advocacy groups, and animal welfare researchers, is likely to be key to the sustainable participation of dogs in these roles.
To dock or not to dock? Faecal soiling measurement in sheep
Authors: Soriano VS , Stamm FO , Taconeli CA , Molento CFM 
Published: January 2020

AbstractFaecal soiling is one of the welfare indicators in the AWIN welfare assessment protocol for sheep (Ovis aries) and is measured by dag scores. Studies on dag scoring for ewes with docked and undocked tails have given rise to contradictory results. The aim of this study was to compare faecal soiling between ewes with docked and undocked tails and evaluate inter-rater reliability for faecal soiling of ewes. This study was conducted on a farm in Southern Brazil and included 66 undocked and 94 docked ewes. Dag score was recorded by three assessors on a scale of 1 to 5. There was no significant difference on faecal soiling for docked compared to undocked ewes and the median dag score was 3 (1-5). Repeatability amongst assessors by intra-class correlation coefficient of dag scores on docked and undocked ewes was 0.49 and 0.40, respectively; however, these repeatabilities showed no significant differences. The modest repeatability between three assessors on dag scoring indicates caution as regards the use of faecal soiling as an indicator and suggests a need for further studies. The best field results may be obtained by increasing the assessment sample to at least 160 ewes or by raising the number of assessors to five to promote better inter-observer repeatability. Results suggest that taildocking did not promote cleanliness on the breech area. Considering the negative impact on welfare, it seems reasonable to reverse the burden of proof and desist from recommending tail-docking in the absence of clear scientific evidence of any benefit.
