An introduction to microfabrication
Authors: Tabeling Patrick 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The chapter offers an introduction to microfabrication techniques. Photolithography is presented. Techniques dedicated to hard materials, such as wet and plasma etching, sputtering, bonding, electron beam lithography. Direct writing and 3D printing are shown. Soft lithography, and in particular those using PDMS (PolyDimethylSiloxane) is presented, with applications to valving, pumping, leading to Large Scale Integration Systems. Paper microfluidics is discussed, along with recent technological approaches, such as photosensitive hydrogels, NOA technology, microcontact printing or flow lithography.
Relativism about Truth Itself
Authors: Wright Crispin 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe setting of relativistic ideas about truth in the general style of semantic-theoretic apparatus pioneered by Lewis, Kaplan, and others has persuaded many that they should at least be taken seriously as competition in the space of explanatory linguistic theory, a type of view which, properly formulated, may offer an at least coherent—and indeed, in the view of some, a superior—account of certain salient linguistic data manifest in, for example, discourse about epistemic modals, knowledge, and about matters of taste and value—and may also offer the prospect of a coherent regimentation of the Aristotelian ‘Open Future’ (along with, perhaps, the Dummettian ‘anti-real’ past). This chapter enters a reminder of certain underlying, more purely philosophical issues about alethic relativism—about its metaphysical coherence, its metasemantic obligations, and about the apparent limitations of the kind of local linguistic evidence which contemporary proponents have adduced in its favour—of which there is a risk that its apparent rehabilitation in rigorous semantic dress may encourage neglect.
Introduction
Authors: Goodrich Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Judicial insertion of images, of photographs, film clips, CCTV footage, emojis, and pictures of diverse kinds and composition into judgements makes novel use of the visual in the reasoning and rulings of law. Using a database of several hundred pictures inserted into judicial decisions from around the common law world and in various doctrinal domains, the introduction tracks the shift from the diagrammatic to the figurative, from maps to pictures, and spells out the difference between looking and reading, the distinct ambulation of the eye in viewing compared to the linear axis of scanning a text. The haptic and sensible qualities of the ocular introduce distinctive aesthetic and affective, specular and spectacular dimensions to the sensible relay of legal rules.
Maps, Diagrams, Schemata
Authors: Goodrich Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Maps establish jurisdiction and link text to territory and terror. In optical terms the map resembles text in its linear form, and together with graphic schemata, tables, and logical charts, the cartographic is the first generally acceptable mode of visual insertion into legal texts. The aesthetic and sensible dimensions of the map have tended to be overlooked by jurists in favour of the presupposed transparency and denotative reference to the real that is surveyed and charted. With new technologies, however, and Google Earth satellite pictures in particular, the map becomes increasingly sensible and affective as a representation in pictorial form of an absent yet legally pertinent space. Moving from diagrammatology to judicial colouring of maps, the importance of the material and pictorial aspects of the judicial atlas are adumbrated.
Surplusage
Authors: Goodrich Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The emergent use of images in legal judgements is initially that of providing a reality effect and so legitimating the veracity of decision. What is seen brings with it the certum of visibilization, and the particularity of the specific case. As Roland Barthes observed, the reality effect is excessive, its function is simply to generate the appearance of the real and nothing more. Using the classical legal concept of surplusage ex abundantia or excess out of abundance, this chapter treats the plethora of images as symptomatic. The logical irrelevance of the inserted depictions is their relevance, the clue to their representation of the affect and force of judicial decision.
Extispicious Depictures
Authors: Goodrich Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Where the evidential image is looked at as a sign and proof of a specific event, the extispicious image is an opening into a proliferation of imaginal and symbolic connections. Extispicy is divinatory and relational and thus forms the visual equivalent of textual hermeneutics in that it links the image in lateral and figurative fashion to the plenitude of ocular and optical contexts and associations of the matter depicted. Matter becomes matterphorical and mobile in the encounter between viewer and viewed. The imaginal relay of the sensible opens into the diverse signifying chains, levels, and conceptual configurations that constitute the optical columbarium of law in relation to its interconnections with the materiality from which it draws its legitimacy and the disciplines that explicate its meanings.
Retinal Justice
Authors: Goodrich Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The augmenting corpus of judicially inserted images reviewed indicates a remediation of law that requires extended scrutiny of figurative visual apparitions in judgements. This chapter addresses the normative force of pictures in precedents and develops a methodology of viewing. The protocols of retinal justice compose aesthetic and deliberative criteria for critical viewing and affective analysis of imagery that will always escape the text and its scriptural hermeneutic. Questions of colour, shape, pattern, design, sound, and movement interrupt the textual relay of rules and generate distinctive modes of viewing and reasoning from and in the lateral dimensions of the judicial eye.
Introduction
Authors: Davison Sarah 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In Beyond Good and Evil (1886), Friedrich Nietzsche lamented the loss of authentic identity in a modern culture over-endowed with a historical sense, where the costumes, attitudes, and poses of the past could be borrowed and discarded at the drop of a hat. He forecast that modern subjects would only find the realm where they too could be original as parodists of history. He was absolutely right so far as the next generation of writers were concerned. The Introduction acknowledges the high seriousness of modernist writing but argues that this has concealed the extent to which modernist experimentation was driven by an irrepressible will to parody. It provides an overview of the chapters that follow, summarizing the central role of parody in the rise of modernism all the way from Ezra Pound’s earliest poems to Imagism and Vorticism, in little magazines, Dada, The Waste Land, and Ulysses, and then in post-1922 texts that self-consciously present themselves as the culminating products of parodies of literary history, namely Orlando, Between the Acts, Mister Bosphorus and the Muses, The Apes of God, and Finnegans Wake.
Parody
Authors: Davison Sarah 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 1 provides a historical overview of parody as it has been practised and theorized from Aristotle to the present day. It revels in the pleasures of the most canonical examples of literary parody, including celebrated works by authors such as Henry Fielding, Lawrence Sterne, Jane Austen, Lord Byron, Lewis Carroll, and Max Beerbohm. It introduces models and concepts that are relevant to the study of modernist texts, exploring how parody has been conceptualized by practising authors and critics as well as by theorists invested in Russian formalism, poststructuralism, deconstruction, modernism, and postmodernism, notably Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva, Fredric Jameson, Malcolm Bradbury, Linda Hutcheon, and Ihab Hassan. It pays close attention to the distinctions they make between parody and related modes, such as pastiche, burlesque, travesty, stylization, metafiction, and/or intertextuality. In doing so, it shows the remarkable breadth of parody’s remit and scope, as well as its innermost workings. The history it delineates reveals the fluctuating reputation of parody over time, explaining why parody in modernism has been largely overlooked. The chapter concludes with a literature survey that focuses particularly on parody in the works of James Joyce, one of the few modernist writers whose use of parody is well recognized.
Pasticherie
Authors: Davison Sarah 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Ezra Pound began his career as a poet by earnestly imitating the great poets he considered to be his masters, resulting in some truly terrible poetry that was full of faux archaism. Chapter 2 tells the story of Pound’s evolution as a poet from the poor pastiche of his college verses and of A Lume Spento (1908) up to and including Canzoni (1911), a series of exercises in historical styles that also form a self-conscious record of Pound’s own progress as an imitator who aspires to produce poetry that is original and, above all, contemporary.
A ‘Bawd of Parodies’
Authors: Davison Sarah 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
James Joyce was quick to realize that realist fiction could only avoid being a ‘parody of life’ so long as the style in which it was written exposed the falsity of literary conventions. The solution he hit upon was to become ‘a bawd of parodies’, that is a bard whose works were promiscuously parodic. Chapter 6 explores Joyce’s evolution as a parodist from his earliest writings up to and including the ‘Cyclops’, ‘Nausicaa’, and ‘Oxen of the Sun’ episodes of Ulysses, accounting for the ways in which his parodic practices intensified precisely to highlight and potentially overcome the problem that style always intervenes in mimesis by compromising the truthfulness of historical narratives. It examines the genesis of ‘Oxen of the Sun’ in granular detail, showing how knowledge of the literary and linguistic sources that Joyce used to stage the historical development of the English language and its literatures can complicate and enrich our understanding of the most difficult episode of Ulysses.
Local government financial strategies amidst austerity, centralization, and risk
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Pursuing austerity following the 2008 crash, the UK government introduced unprecedented expenditure reductions and its localism and local financial self-sufficiency agenda. These national policies aimed to reduce local government’s dependence upon grants from the UK government and encourage local municipal entrepreneurship and innovation. Combined with rising local service demand, this UK government strategy intensified pressures on local statecrafters to close funding gaps by making savings and finding new income sources. Amidst fiscal stress and uncertainty, local government financial strategies moved unevenly towards more active and strategic risk management, challenging depictions of ‘councillors at the casino’ as partial explanations. Local statecrafters were forced to change their expenditure and income generation strategies. National governance and regulation of local financial resilience, sustainability, and failure are being tested as more local governments in England are pushed to brink of unbalanced budgets. Looking beyond the peaks of high-profile and novel activities and providing the hitherto missing overview across England since 2010, a differentiated landscape of local statecraft engagements with financialization is revealed, comprising vanguard, intermediate, and long-tail approaches amongst local governments.
In-area and out-of-area statecraft
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Engaging commercial, sometimes international, financiers and their more spatially open and mobile worldviews, more locally rooted statecrafters in municipal finance in England have established new geographical relationships and arrangements. This local statecraft realm forges a new distinction between in-area and out-of-area. Given their founding local purposes, national governance of local government activities addresses their powers and responsibilities within their local boundaries. New and differentiated financial strategies and arrangements emerged in-area across England since 2010 including more active asset management covering land, property, and infrastructure as well as extension or initiation of commercialization activities in wholly or jointly owned businesses. Intensifying fiscal pressures forced local statecrafters to extend activities beyond their local areas. While long-standing in geographically dispersed local government pension fund investments and other limited activities, new and differentiated out-of-area strategies and arrangements involve shared management and service collaborations, local pooling of business rates revenues, investment strategies involving commercial properties and other projects, and commercial activity extension outside their territories. Underpinned by local statehood, this new local statecraft within and beyond local administrative jurisdictions in England since 2010 extends and forges new relations, rewiring and rescaling objectives, incentives, autonomies, and accountabilities. The UK government, professional and sector bodies, and commentators are concerned about what these activities mean for local government’s purpose, financial resilience, and sustainability.
Conclusions
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Since 2010, the UK government reduced funding for local governments in England, introduced local financial self-sufficiency, and encouraged innovation and risk-taking as well as retained centralized control and inhibited behaviours deemed too risky and speculative. Local statecrafters were compelled to prioritize savings and income generation to balance budgets and maintain local service provision. Looking beyond high-profile financial innovations, Financialization and Local Statecraft revealed and explained the wider and differentiated landscape across local government in England since 2010. Framed by local statehood, local statecraft explained how local statecrafters act in realms, including financial strategies and risks, external advice, borrowing and debt management, and in and out-of-area activities. Local governments following vanguard, intermediate, and long-tail approaches with varying engagements with the relations and process of financialization were explained by local government types and sizes, capacities and capabilities, risk appetite, openness to commercial finance, and economic and financial conditions. While financialization is limited within the overall landscape in England since 2010, its relations and UK government policy are rewiring and rescaling local statecraft and relocating risks and uncertainties onto local government and the wider local state. Local government financial sustainability and resilience risk being undermined by national policy and the wider extension and intensification of its engagements with financialization. Fundamental questions of local political economy are raised: what is local government for and how should it be funded? Strengthened accountability of local statecraft in financialization can counter local governance depoliticization and post-democracy.
Olive Moore’s Queer Ecology
Authors: Shackleton David 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3 addresses Olive Moore’s novel Spleen (1930), in which the main character Ruth is thrown into crisis by her pregnancy and struggles against a conception of ‘nature’ that dictates that her role as a woman is to be a mother. Instead, she cultivates a ‘queer environmentalism’ that rejects reproductive futurism, and includes her attempt to counteract the pollution that she encounters in London. The novel, tightly focalized around Ruth, does not provide a comprehensive representation of London’s changing climate. Nevertheless, the very limitations of its representation—the partial glimpses it affords of fume-filled alleys and bedraggled hunger marchers—point towards wider historical transformations: of a fossil fuel industry that led to starvation for many of its workers, and that drove climate change on a planetary scale. Reading the novel in the context of early twentieth-century environmental movements, highlighting its literary impressionism, and drawing on more recent queer theory, this chapter argues that Spleen should be recognized as a subversive work of Anthropocene modernism. Like other works of modernist queer ecology, it is driven by a queer utopianism. By offering anticipatory illuminations of a queer environmental politics and activism that is not yet here, these works can reshape the present and inspire new structures of environmental care and concern.
Virginia Woolf and the Pageant of History
Authors: Shackleton David 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 argues that Virginia Woolf’s fiction provides a model for rethinking agency in the Anthropocene. Drawing attention to her abiding interest in the way that history is written, this chapter compares To the Lighthouse (1927) to the experimental historiography of the Annales school. Woolf and the Annalistes shared a distaste for ‘great men’ conceptions of history, and both turned to different scales and types of time to displace emphasis from individuals and events. Yet whereas the Annalistes rejected narrative as unsuitable for history on medium and long timescales, Woolf experimented with quasi-plots to convey a sense of history as composed of multiple processes unfolding at different speeds and on different scales. The chapter then turns to Between the Acts (1940), in which Woolf uses the affordances of drama to explore the relationship between human and natural history at a time of historical crisis. Throughout, Woolf’s fiction achieves what might be called a ‘feminist scale critique’: her narrative experiments with scale unsettle familiar conceptions of human agency, and displace ‘great men’ from the centre of history and fiction. Her representations of agency contrast markedly with those of H. G. Wells, and might be redeployed to counteract recent masculinist strains of Anthropocene discourse.
Jean Rhys’s Plantation Modernism
Authors: Shackleton David 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 5 reads Jean Rhys’s Voyage in the Dark (1934) in light of Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin’s account of the Anthropocene, which dates the epoch as starting at the time of the ‘Columbian Exchange’ of biotas following the colonization of the Americas. On the surface, Rhys’s novel seems ill-equipped to register the environmental transformations that are now deemed to characterize the Anthropocene. However, this chapter argues that by rendering Anna’s states of distraction through an innovative narrative form, Rhys’s novel opens up a historical counter-narrative in which the Caribbean plantation system and its brutal regimes of labour are seen to have underpinned modernity. Having read Anna’s states of distraction in the context of attempts to mitigate ‘wasted time’ on Caribbean plantations through the imposition of time-discipline and the use of hurricane insurance, the chapter suggests that recognizing the importance of the Caribbean plantation system necessitates a rethinking of literary history and the scope of Anthropocene modernism.
Conclusion
Authors: Shackleton David 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Channelling a critical counter-mood from the previous chapter, the book concludes by calling for a modernist world-ecology. In response to recent calls for ‘weak theory’ to be used to generate a strong field of modernism, this conclusion argues that environmental approaches to modernism are better served by using unfashionably ‘strong theory’. Specifically, it appeals to the Warwick Research Collective’s theory of world-literature as a means of scaling-up environmental approaches to modernism. It is not just a question of how certain writers represent (or fail to represent) environmental transformations that occur on a planetary scale, but also of comparing how writers from different locations in the world register that crisis. By virtue of their concerns with time and history that make them so adept at rendering different experiences of modernity, works of modernist world-literature promise to enrich the understanding of the environmental crisis supplied by the ‘Capitalocene’ and the ‘Plantationocene’, in what would constitute a distinctively modernist world-ecology. Reading works of modernist world-literature can thereby open better ways of being in the world, and better possibilities of political action.

Abstract
It considers the principles and history of staying proceedings for abuse of process. Describing the kinds of conduct giving rise to a stay with a discrete ‘interests of justice’ test applied to two categories of abuse of process. Examining the stages in the justice process when a stay may be granted. Describing the jurisdiction to stay for abuse and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The rationales for staying proceedings based on nebulous tests: ‘public confidence’, ‘sense of justice’, and ‘rule of law’. It has an historical sketch of the growth in applications to stay and permanency of the same. Examining Abuse of Process in the common law jurisdictions of Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
Pre-Charge and Investigation
Authors: Wells Colin

Abstract
It examines the power to stay criminal proceedings as an abuse of process to remedy an abuse of executive power, which can occur during the investigative stage of a criminal case. Considering the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE), its Codes of Practice and the consequences of their breach, the role of the defence adviser, types of abuse of process that can occur at the police station including the overriding of client privilege and breach of promise situations. Examining protected communications between defence advisers and suspects under Article 6(3)(c) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) (an accused’s right to legal assistance) and Article 8 ECHR (right to privacy) in conjunction with restricted common law legal professional privilege and Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) and
Disclosure
Authors: Wells Colin 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
A failure on the part of the prosecution to make proper disclosure may result in proceedings being stayed as an abuse of process. Proper disclosure of unused material remains a crucial part of a fair trial and is essential to avoiding miscarriages of justice. Disclosure remains an important and complex issue in the criminal justice system. The duties and responsibilities of the parties with regard to disclosure are governed by the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (CPIA 1996), as amended by the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (CJA 2003) and the CPIA Code of Practice. Fair disclosure of information to an accused, by the prosecution is an inseparable part of a fair trial under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Entrapment
Authors: Wells Colin 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the judicial discretion to stay proceedings where an offence has been incited by another using deceptive techniques to test, as part of an entrapment operation, whether or not a person is willing to commit an offence. Examining entrapment cases where the state through its agents lure its citizens into committing acts forbidden by the law and then prosecuting them. The case law considers the boundary between permissible and impermissible police conduct. A degree of active involvement by the police in the commission of a crime is generally regarded as acceptable in test purchases. Journalistic entrapment is often dealt with by way of exclusion of evidence under section 78 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE). The common law jurisprudence reflects European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) case law.
