Legenda: La struttura di Libretto di Transito
No full textThe notes here collected have been prepared by Franca Mancinelli for the editors of the Amos Edizioni book series A27 poesia, following the publishing house\u27s proposal to arrange the structure of Libretto di transito according to a thematical thread, gathering texts marked by the presence of water, animals, and so forth. These notes are both a reflection and a self analysis aimed at defining the structure of the book as it was conceived by the author herself. The final version of the book follow this choice, although some texts were eventually excluded.

Restarting Law and Development as a Model Sub-Discipline: Structuring Research Questions, Approaches and Setting Standards for Theoretical and Applied Disciplines and Sub-Disciplines
Get PDFThe field of “Law and Development” finds itself with competing disciplinary and institutional agendas, overlapping and unclear definitions, borders, and scope, with no real rules of academic integrity or legitimacy to follow or to which it is held accountable. This article builds and applies an indicator with model standards for the structuring of academic disciplines to evaluate the legitimacy and integrity of this sub-discipline as an example for others. It then offers a model agenda for the basic social science questions to research and the technological applications that would help the sub-discipline to develop in a way that more appropriately fits a scholarly sub-discipline with applications of public benefit. The model approach offered in this article can be applied to emerging fields and sub-fields to identify those that are being shaped by politics rather than scholarly criteria; distinguishing them from legitimate fields and helping to strengthen their structures
Gamestop: How online ‘degenerates’ took on hedge funds
No full textThe spread of COVID-19 has forced many people around the world to adjust the manner in which they relate to and participate in the goings-on of the outside world. This article examines a seemingly novel attempt by a few amateur investors to take on the might of hedge funds’ cutting-edge algorithms. Our analysis includes an examination of short-selling, online investment communities and the problem of collective action they face. This piece examines how Wall Street betters on Reddit, with little or no experience, brought a new series of questions about regulation and speculative investing to the fore. We close by reflecting on the kinds of questions that people who are interested in the stock market (no matter their ability) might ask themselves in the very near future
A Tasty Encounter with Routine Dynamics Ideas: Some ‘after action’ reflections
No full textOn Friday 9th April 2021, I attended my first conference with the Routine Dynamics research community. As an interested newcomer to this scene, the event inspired some personal reflections for my own work. To go beyond these personal benefits though, I was also inspired to share the new thinking and wider research directions from this research encounter, with our Exchanges readership. The emerging thoughts and practices from the Routines Dynamics community seems to be a welcoming and inclusive oasis, in the latticework of ideas being developed across our natural, social, and humanities worlds of scholarship. What follows is my attempt to make a little difference to the work of colleagues, in sharing the impact of this intellectual encounter for a wider audience. In reflecting on the events of this conference, I was guided by Johnson (2018)’s suggestions for possible structure and content for this type of article (as distinct and different from original empirical contributions).

Reappearing in Different Forms: Ancient and Contemporary Irish Hunger in \u27Bog Child\u27
No full textSiobhan Dowd’s novel Bog Child explores a legacy of self-sacrifice in Ireland. From a contemporary context, it explores the second hunger strike of Long Kesh prison in the 1980s and a fictionalised famine in the first century as a more ancient example. Using Kathleen Jamie’s notion of ‘surfacing’ and Oona Frawley’s ‘memory cruxes’ as launching points to explore Bog Child, this paper works to illuminate how these temporally distant events are intricately connected through an extended history of self-sacrifice and hunger in Ireland. In the process, it also explores how, in that extended history, gendered notions have crept in, how they are reinforced and how they can be challenged. Bog Child is at its core a novel about the repetition of history, and particularly of historical cultural trauma, but one that ultimately works to offer a compassionate end to this repetition, as the paper will conclude

The Imperative for Justiciability of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in Post-Civil War Sri Lanka
Get PDFBetween 2015 and 2019 Sri Lanka has been in the process of drafting a new Constitution in the aftermath of the civil war that lasted from 1983 to 2009. In spite of the very high human development in Sri Lanka, public expenditures on education and health as a proportion of the GDP have declined since the 1960s. Besides, it is argued that democracy in Sri Lanka is patronage cum greed based, and hence a case is made for inculcating a merit cum need based democracy for which justiciability of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ESCR) is a sine qua non. Moreover, we argue a case for incorporating ESCR as justiciable rights in the proposed new Constitution not only on its own right but also as a means of durable peacebuilding in the aftermath of a savage civil war
