One man’s junk is another man’s disease: Exploring hoarding as reality television entertainment
Authors: Evans Shannon M. , Barton Kristin M. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Reality television programmes focusing on issues of ‘hoarding’ (accumulating items and possessions at unhealthy levels) have become popular on US cable networks such as A&E and TLC. But while these shows outwardly appear to be offering help to those who are featured on the series (as well as viewers at home), the quick-fix solutions and pseudo-medical treatments exhibited may have serious negative consequences for participants and media consumers alike. This article will explore the current state of hoarding within the medical profession, how the disease is depicted through reality television programming, and the problems that result from the superficial and insensitive portrayals of hoarders and their lifestyles.
Disaster, pre-emptive security and urban space in the post-9/11 New York City of Cloverfield and The Visitor
Authors: Simon Stephanie 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Using two post-9/11 films set in New York City, Cloverfield (2008) and The Visitor (2008), this article interrogates the urban space of pre-emptive security practice in the United States. Putting these two films together, and tracing their characters’ paths through the city, offers insights into the relationship between threat imaginaries, security practices and the complex cities within which they are interwoven. While pointing to some of the continuities with longer-standing socio-spatial tactics of urban control, this analysis also draws attention to the particular spatio-temporal landscape of pre-emption, which has come to define post-9/11 security stances. It is argued that pre-emptive security imaginaries and practices are stretched across urban spaces in ambiguous and uneven ways as attempts are made to render urban complexity, uncertainty and circulation visible and knowable. The cinematic paths of the characters in Cloverfield and The Visitor offer points of micro-visibility onto post-9/11 urban security practice as a circulatory process that is not ultimately fixed or fully competent. In this way the article complicates the imagination of a seamless, fully rendered urban battlespace and instead stresses the active process of securitizing potentialities and acts that slip in and out of the innumerable spatial stories that compose the urban fabric.
The harlot city?: Prostitution in Hollywood, 1920–40
Authors: Kooistra AnneMarie 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Conflicting narratives about prostitution in Hollywood – from reformers, Hollywood novels and newspapers covering the sensational Hollywood ‘love mart’ case – indicate awareness as well as deep-seated concerns not only about changing sexual norms but also the urban context that generated them. Reformers employed the language of ‘white slavery’ to suggest that the new sexual economy victimized innocent urban newcomers; Hollywood novels suggested the notion of women as sexual agents; and newspaper coverage of the ‘love mart’ case employed both narratives in depicting prostitution. While such contradictory depictions indicate the unevenness of the process by which urbanization ushered in new sexual mores, narratives of prostitution in Hollywood shared the idea that the city was a modern nightmare rather than a dreamy landscape of opportunity.
New Jerusalems: Derek Walcott’s poetics of the Caribbean city
Authors: Jefferson Ben Thomas 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
In his poetry of Castries, Saint Lucia and Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Derek Walcott both interrogates and appropriates colonialist and modernist utopian discourses. By appropriating these discourses, Walcott defines the Caribbean city as an inherently modern space, and in doing so redefines Eurocentric conceptions of modernity and cultural prejudices. Although he utilizes utopian discourses, and argues that the cities’ smallness, incorporation of rurality, cultural mixity, and technological innovation are ideal aspects of the modern city, Walcott is also perceptive regarding issues of spatial power relations and inequality. Walcott portrays town squares, parks and other enclosed areas as zones of exclusion, and reads these from the peripheralized perspective of shantytowns. Furthermore, Walcott criticizes the spatial coloniality and political corruption of the postcolonial city. Ultimately, Walcott’s concern is the everyday and embodied place(s) of the city, and it is from such a phenomenological perspective that the poet can draw artistic inspiration and sustain a poetic vision.
Colonial modernity and urban space: Naguib Mahfouz’s Cairo
Authors: Scott Bede 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article explores the spatial dimension of colonial modernity in Naguib Mahfouz’s 1947 novel Midaq Alley. I begin by discussing the way in which modernity reconfigures urban space in Cairo so that the radical disjunctures and discontinuities it initiates become encoded within the topography of the city itself. I then address the impact this reconfiguration of space has on the inhabitants of Midaq Alley, forcing them to engage with modernity as a concrete presence in their daily lives. In other words, to use Mikhail Bakhtin’s terminology, modernity in the novel takes on a chronotopic quality – fusing time and space, history and geography – and as a consequence, those characters who aspire to move from one temporality to another are required to do so by following a particular spatial trajectory. They must traverse a number of significant boundaries and interstitial zones, before entering those chronotopic sites whose function it is both to signify and shape colonial modernity: in this case, specifically, the brothel and the bar.
Teaching urban: Reflections from Hispanic Studies
Authors: Feinberg Matthew I. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
While the ‘urban’ both as a site for research and as a theoretical concept has become a central interest to scholars in a wide range of fields, its role in the classroom has often been unclear. As a result, this article looks to explore what it means to teach about urban space and the urban experience. In particular, it explores the challenges and possibilities for ‘teaching urban’ within the context of Hispanic Studies. Using discussions from a recent seminar entitled ‘Teaching urban’ that took place at the Eleventh Annual Conference of the Cultural Studies Association as a point of departure, this article reviews some recent scholarship on the incorporation of urban theory and the study of urban space into the classroom. It argues that foregrounding the role of changing communication technologies in producing urban space while asking students to participate in those networks of communication might be one approach to developing language and cultural proficiency while engaging with contemporary discourses of urbanism.
Nota Bene. Anti-representation enters the theatre
Authors: Vatovec Matej T. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article deals with the problem of artistic representation in theatre. It explores the practice of the Italian actor and director Carmelo Bene, which virtually coincides with the theoretical (or philosophical) thought of Gilles Deleuze and his philosophy of difference. The author tries to show the move from classical theatre representation towards the critical staging that overturns the theatre practice, actualizing at once the 'philosophy of difference" in art. In the author's theoretical view, this shift represents the essence of artistic activity - the so-called "de-equalisation" or denunciation of common sense'.
We all know! Cultural politics from the viewpoint of managers and creators of performing arts
Authors: Novak Jure 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
A series of discussions about Slovenian cultural politics from the viewpoint of managers and creators of the performing arts. We interview three practitioners, producers and artists who question and contextualize their own actions. Simon Kardum has transitioned from activist to practitioner, from dreamer to politician. He is the manager of the public institution CUK Kino Šiška. Janez Janša considers the relationship between the public and private cultural sectors. He describes what the differences between the two are and were, and what they could be, and the consequences of erasing these differences. He is the longtime manager of Maska Institute, one of the biggest NGOs in the field of the performing arts in Slovenia. Iztok Kovac is a pragmatist, thinks in the long-term and focuses on the institution in the context of the individual and the contemporary dance genre. He is a pioneer in institutionalizing Slovenian contemporary dance and the manager of the Španski Borci Culture Centre. The interviewees see more errors and possibilities for development in the areas that they are perhaps less familiar with. Between the lines, we find space for possible dialogue, common work for a common cause.
Maska and the post-alternative of Slovenia
Authors: Kraigher Amelia 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Maska, which today as an institute for publishing, cultural and production activities commemorates along with many other non-governmental organizations the twentieth anniversary of its establishment, no longer finds its key importance in the affirmation of recent art practices through their recording and global and historical contextualization, but focuses on the problematization of structural and political issues posed by and in contemporary art and theory. The questioning of one's own position has become an ethical imperative of the art of the twenty-first century.
'Big Brother really is watching you!': Literature in mobile dataspace
Authors: Suter Beat 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Starting point for this article is William Gibson's image of locative art in his two books Spook Country (2007) and Zero History (2010). Gibson creates a very clear and comprehensive picture of the term 'locative art'. The article compares this purely fictional image with the appearance of locative art and poetry in reality. It reviews projects like 'Objects of Desire' (2008) by Ludic Society, 'AndOrDada' (2008) and 'Sniff_jazzbox' (2008) by AND-OR and the very constricting project 'Constraint City. The Pain of Everyday Life' (2008) by Gordan Savicic. The project 'Before the Satellite Detects You' (2010) by AND-OR works with similar premises and makes the player aware of being constantly tracked: He has to hide in house entrances, under bridges, roofs and in the signal-shade of bigger buildings on his path through town. These projects show the dangers of an electronic data space that offers possibilities to amass personal data and set up a tight control via satellite- and other networks.
Exodus and Performance Art: Where To Flee in IWC?
Authors: Apostolou-Hölscher Stefan 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
One question is becoming more and more necessary nowadays: to what extent are there alternatives to the given relations of production? In what sense can the forces of artistic production escape an encompassing appropriation of their potential, albeit always only particularly and temporarily? Dealing with the recent crisis of financial capital does not necessarily mean, as some exponents of former postoperaism put it, a revolutionary exodus of living labor away from capital absolutely, but rather hints at the potential of post-Fordist virtuosity itself and its alternative modes of production – its potential to reconfigure their relations instead of overthrowing them.
Autonomous artistic practices and research: Popularization, definition and value
Authors: Legin Katja 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The article approaches the topic of artistic practices and research by providing an overview of the basic terms (practice, research, autonomy, laboratory, process, result, product) associated with such form of artistic creation. Through this and the three focuses - (1) reasons for the popularisation of such artistic activities, (2) their possible definitions and (3) the question of their value - the author comes to the conclusion that artistic practices and research are not opposed to 'final' artworks, but that the (creative) process and the result likewise constitute different aspects of the same phenomenon - creation.
Washday at the Pa (1964): History of a Controversy
Authors: McDonnell Brian 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
New Zealand is a liberal democracy where state censorship is among the lightest in the world. However, in 1964, the government intervened in the controversy surrounding the publication of a primary schools bulletin called Washday at the Pa. This booklet which showed photographs of the home life of a rural Maori family, engendered strongly differing social views on the representation of Maori, the desirability or otherwise of censoring classroom resources, and the shifting dynamics of race relations in the country. This article scrutinizes the events of 1964 surrounding Washday at the Pa in detail to provide an account of the complex series of actions undertaken by government departments, government ministers, publishers, pressure groups, and commentators on both sides of the debate. It also extends its coverage to subsequent events such as the 2011 re-publication of the bulletin for a twenty-first-century readership. This article argues that the censorship of Washday at the Pa has had long-lasting ramifications and illustrates the evolution of attitudes to the representation of Maori over the decades.
A new typology for the logic of appropriateness in Fiji
Authors: Ramesh Sanjay 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article utilizes public choice theory, in particular the logic of appropriateness analysis, developed by James March, on recognition, identity and rules to argue that political appropriateness in Fiji was centred around communal considerations. As such, it was incompatible with multiracial governance, which resulted in conflict between Indo-Fijians and indigenous Fijians which in turn caused internal factionalization within indigenous Fijians, leading to coups and civil unrest in 2000 and 2006. However, since the December 2006 coup, there have been attempts by the military-led regime to change the communal logic towards a new logic based on ethnic inclusiveness, which allowed for the framing of a new political typology where all ethnic groups in Fiji have equal citizenry. However, the article identifies that there may be risks involved with the new political structuration process where contending rules and identities of the past may not be reconciled, creating a circulatory that undermines the new logic trajectory. Regional governments, Australia and New Zealand, imposed travel bans on Fiji government ministers and a number of local Non Government Organizations and unions have criticized the military led regime of being autocratic and insensitive to the concerns of indigenous Fijians. Nevertheless, the article suggests that there is an opportunity for cementing the new logic by setting up deliberative forms of governance including reforms to parliamentary institutions through a committee system where conflicting views and ideas can be debated and reconciled.
The ‘unnatural’ legal framing of traditional knowledge and forms of cultural expression in the Pacific
Authors: Farran Sue 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The consequences of social and economic development in Pacific island states are far reaching and on a number of levels illustrate the head-on collision of endogamous and exogamous forces. This is particularly evident in the ways in which manifestations of cultural property and traditional knowledge are harnessed and regulated. Laws inspired by western liberal thinking and capitalist economies see intellectual effort as giving rise to property rights and their related remedies, which are premised on individualism, exclusion and the commodity value of knowledge and creativity and its physical manifestation. Traditional, indigenous perceptions are however different. While knowledge may be power it is not always exclusive, individual or commercial. Cultural property creates networks of exchange and reflects continuums between the past and the present, between people and generations, and people and places. Increasingly, there is pressure internally and externally to exploit and use cultural property and traditional knowledge to meet the economic imperatives of development. Linked to this is a real or perceived need to adopt or incorporate a range of legal measures. Many of these are reflections of the colonial past of Pacific islands and an illustration of the neo-colonial present. There are, however, some attempts to moderate this onslaught and to take steps to shape the ­regulatory ­framework in a way that bridges the traditional and the modern. This article considers the challenges facing Pacific island states seeking to articulate laws that meet the demands of modernity and satisfy the values of tradition.

Nordic Zonderwege on Europeanized tracks towards Dis-establishment
Authors: Christoffersen Lisbet 
Published: May 2014

Zusammenfassung
Die staatskirchlichen Systeme der nordischen Länder erfahren derzeit erhebliche Veränderungsprozesse. Jeweils wird eine Balance gesucht zwischen der Annäherung an europaweit verbreitete Standards, wie sie vor allem durch Urteile des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte markiert werden, und dem Bemühen, für die gesamte Bevölkerung offene nationale Kirchen zu erhalten. Strittige Punkte sind meistens die staatliche Beteiligung an der kirchlichen Gesetzgebung, die Regelungen zur Kirchensteuer, die Stellung der Bischöfe sowie das Recht zur Einführung von Liturgien.
Organisierte Kirche und Öffentliche Bildung
Authors: Schröder Bernd 
Published: May 2014

Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel skizziert die große Pluralität rechtlicher Regelungen zur Mitwirkung verfasster Religionsgemeinschaften an staatlichen Schulen; und er gibt exemplarische Einblicke zur Lage in Norwegen, Frankreich, Spanien und Ungarn. Vielerorts werden die Mitwirkungsrechte von Religionsgemeinschaften im Rahmen der staatlichen Schule reduziert. Zugleich engagieren sich viele Gemeinschaften durch Aufbau eigener Formen und Institutionen, etwa durch die Trägerschaft privater Schulen. Für Europa im Ganzen gilt: Es sind nicht nur religions-, sondern vor allem bildungspolitische Entwicklungen, die inzwischen einen ‚Anpassungsdruck‘ auf das Recht der Religion an der Schule ausüben.
Diagnostic conversations: Clinical Decision Making in surgery – Part 2
Authors: Watters David Allan , Beasley Spencer Wynyard , Crebbin Wendy 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Proceduralists who fail to review their decision making are unlikely to learn from their experiences, irrespective of whether the operative outcome is successful or not. Teaching junior surgeons to develop ‘insight’ into their own decision making has long been a challenge. Surgeons and staff of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons worked together to develop a model to help explain the processes around clinical decision making and incorporated this model into a Clinical Decision Making (CDM) training course. In this course, faculty apply the model to specific surgical cases, within the model’s framework of how clinical decisions are made; thus providing an opportunity to identify specific decision making processes as they occur and to highlight some of the learning opportunities they provide. The conversation in this paper illustrates the kinds of case-based interactions which typically occur in the development and teaching of the CDM course.The focus in this, the second of two papers, is on reviewing post-operative clinical decisions made in relation to one case, to improve the quality of subsequent decision making.
Functions of the neuron-specific protein ADAP1 (centaurin-α1) in neuronal differentiation and neurodegenerative diseases, with an overview of structural and biochemical properties of ADAP1
Authors: Stricker Rolf , Reiser Georg 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells express numerous ArfGAPs (ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase-activating proteins). There is increasing knowledge about the function of the brain-specific protein ADAP1 [ArfGAP with dual pleckstrin homology (PH) domain] as well as about its biochemical properties. The ADAP subfamily, also designated centaurin-α, has an N-terminal ArfGAP domain followed by two PH domains. The mammalian ADAP subfamily consists of two identified isoforms, ADAP1 and ADAP2 (centaurin-α1 and -α2). ADAP1 is highly expressed in neurons. We highlight the functional roles of ADAP1 in neuronal differentiation and neurodegeneration. Because of interactions with different proteins and phosphoinositol-lipids, ADAP1 can function as a scaffolding protein in several signal transduction pathways. Firstly, ADAP1 mediates cytoskeletal crosstalk. This is indicated by multiple interactions of ADAP1 with components of the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton. Secondly, regulation of neuronal polarity formation and axon specification by ADAP1 is suggested by crystal structural data obtained for human ADAP1, and the complexes of ADAP1-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and/or the forkhead-associated domain of the kinesin KIF13B. These structures support the concept that a KIF13B-ADAP1 complex enhances the local accumulation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 at the tips of neurites, and thus favors neuronal polarity. Thirdly, recent evidence unravels a pathological role of ADAP1 because upregulation of ADAP1 by amyloid β-peptide causes ADAP1-Ras-ERK-dependent translocation of Elk-1 to mitochondria. This impairs mitochondrial functions with subsequent synaptic dysfunction and exacerbates neurodegeneration, as in Alzheimer’s disease.
Putative kallikrein substrates and their (patho)biological functions
Authors: Yu Yijing , Prassas Ioannis , Diamandis Eleftherios P. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Human tissue kallikreins (KLKs) represent the largest contiguous group of protease genes within our genome. All 15 KLK genes co-localize within approximately 260 kb in human chromosome 19q13.3–13.4 (14 640 kb→274 990 kb). They are widely expressed in several tissues and mediate a wide range of critical physiological and pathological processes. Despite the recent developments in KLK research, elucidation of their physiological substrate repertoires remains a largely unfulfilled goal. Phage display, positional scanning and combinatorial peptide library screens have provided some valuable insights into the preferred specificities of these powerful enzymes. More recently, advances in proteomic technologies have enabled more systemic approaches towards identification of KLK substrates in a physiological setting. The advent of degradomic technologies has brought to light several putative physiological substrates and has allowed a deeper appreciation of the in vivo functional roles of KLKs. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the different techniques that have been utilized towards the elucidation of the substrate specificities of these enzymes and elaborate on their emerging in vivo substrates.
