Translations of the Self: A.E. Housman and Anne Carson, Between Scholarship and Creativity
No full textIn my PhD thesis I have explored some aspects of the interface between classical scholarship and creativity, through the work and careers of two scholar-poets, Anne Carson (1950 - ) and A.E. Housman (1859-1936). I have shown how, within their social and cultural contexts, they attempted to craft their careers by using both genres of their work to help them construct carefully-crafted public profiles, and how these self-translations within their careers relate to received versions of their work by different readerships. By connecting explorations of their social and cultural contexts with their biographies and with close readings of their scholarly and creative work, I explore the shifting relationship between creative and scholarly ‘cultural fields’, as well as the recent social, cultural, and institutional changes which have turned these fields from ‘homogeneous poles’ to ‘heterogeneous poles’ (to use Pierre Bourdieu’s terms). I examine the surprising similarities in the unusual personalities of Carson and Housman, who both have, or had, a tendency to use their reputations for independence and reclusiveness to help them navigate around important issues and conflicts which could have threatened their success. I show how they have constructed versions of themselves, both within and beyond their writings, which have enabled them to make grand assertions of the self in the teeth of social and cultural necessities

A theoretical study of population II Cepheids with periods in the range 10-20 days
No full textA theoretical study of population II variables with
periods in the range 10 - 20 days (W Virginis variables) is
presented. A modified hydrodynamic Christy code is used in
conjunction with the Carson opacities, in preference to the Los
Alamos tables, following the work of Carson, Stothers and
Vemury on the shorter period BL Herculis variables.
Twenty-five survey models are presented, along with nine other
comparison models of varying masses and opacities.
A study of the observations shows that the division of
these variables into two types by observers might be explained
by a slightly different mass for each type, thus making the
division dependent on the star's previous evolution.
The non-linear results obtained by this study show that a
mass of 0.6 M☉ is a good one to use, and that M = 0.5 M☉ makes
little difference (although M = 0.8 M☉ seems to be too high).
The results in general compare well with the observations, as
both also show the split into two types of light curve. Three good models of individual stars are presented, on a par with the models of BL Herculis published by Carson, Stothers and
Vemury. The bumps in the light and velocity curves of many of
the models seem to be real, caused by the Christy "echo".
A few of the models show some RV Tauri behaviour. One in
particular shows very strange behaviour, involving a violent
81ternation of light curve shapes. Models constructed using
the Los Alamos opacities do not produce results as consistent
with observations as those of the main survey.
The study shows that these stars can be represented by
hydrodynamic models of mass 0.6 M☉ using the Carson opacities, but also that convection may be important in the cooler stars in order to model them accurately. This indicates the
direction in which further theoretical work may lie

Fostering Citizen Participation Top-Down
No full textPolitical theorists speak of the need to institutionalize deliberative democratic processes but there is little evidence of institutionalization, although there have been many successful experiments with robust public participation methods. What has been missing to date is the political will to convert those experiments to routine practice supported by legislation. This paper documents a novel Law enacted in Tuscany in December 2007. It is a piece of legislation with the potential to provide a model for societies that are considered to be democratic. Tuscan Law no. 69 demonstrates how representative government and mini-publics might do more than co-exist
