Possessing the American scene : race and vulgarity, seduction and judgment
No full textHenry James studies today are as vibrant as they have ever been. Yet, no matter how great the fascination with the Jamesian text, a large number of readers cannot get rid of a sense of shame at their enjoyment of it. They feel that reading James is something of an evasion of the real work of the world. If earlier generations located that guilty feeling within the ivory tower that James's formal experimentation offered them, a technically more blase generation has associated its unease more often with the politically ambiguous, or plainly incorrect, stance the Master adopts. This is particularly true with regard to The American Scene, at present one of the hottest texts in James studies. Noting ‘the commonplace racial slurs punctuating’ that text, Bryan Washington, for instance, has a hard time resisting the book's ‘liberal, eminently civilized voice, sometimes sustained for pages at a time, [that] becomes so seductive, so powerful, that we forget (or want to forget) about the racial slurs, the cultural stereotypes …’. Washington regrets that the primary subject of his book, James Baldwin, succumbed to the seduction and appeared to undertake an ‘iterative valorization’ of Henry James throughout his work. ‘If such writing [as The American Scene's] is representative, symptomatic of James's nativism and of his elitism, then why did Baldwin, by contrast a progressive, bother to read him at all?’ Implicitly admitting an inability to come up with a satisfactory reply, Washington writes: ‘ There can be only speculation here, but … Baldwin almost certainly gave James the benefit of the doubt.

Authorship as cultural performance: new perspectives in authorship studies
No full textThis article proposes a performative model of authorship, based on the historical alternation between predominantly 'weak' and 'strong' author concepts and related practices of writing, publication and reading. Based on this model, we give a brief overview of the historical development of such author concepts in English literature from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. We argue for a more holistic approach to authorship within a cultural topography, comprising social contexts, technological and media factors, and other cultural developments, such as the distinction between privacy and the public sphere

Linear-scaling soft-core scheme for alchemical free energy calculations.
No full textAlchemical free energy calculations involving the removal or insertion of atoms into condensed phase systems generally make use of soft-core scaling of nonbonded interactions, designed to circumvent numerical instabilities that arise from weakly interacting "hard" atoms in close proximity. Current methods model soft-core atoms by introducing a nonlinear dependence between the shape of the interaction potential and the strength of the interaction. In this article, we propose a soft-core method that avoids introducing such a nonlinear dependence, through the application of a smooth flattening of the potential energy only in a region that is energetically accessible under normal conditions. We discuss the benefits that this entails and explore a selection of applications, including enhanced methods for the estimation of free energy differences and for the automated optimization of the placement of intermediate states in multistage alchemical calculations
Limiting the Role of Public Autorities in the Deployment of Services. The tense relationship between Labour Market Rights and Respect for Dignity at Work.
No full textThe essay deals with public services and the entities – public and private – in charge of their deployment. The author analyses the relationship between public and private service providers, with particular reference to personal care. The limitation of the role of public authorities, as a consequence of legislative and/or administrative measures, is examined from the point of view of citizens, transformed in “customers” of private services. Also the point of view of employees of service suppliers, stressing the risk – when privatized – of informal employment, contributory and fiscal evasion, and other illegal conducts
