Kemeny Elections with Bounded Single-peaked or Single-crossing Width
No full textThis paper is devoted to complexity results re-garding specific measures of proximity to single-peakedness and single-crossingness, called “single-peaked width ” [Cornaz et al., 2012] and “single-crossing width”. Thanks to the use of the PQ-tree data structure [Booth and Lueker, 1976], we show that both problems are polynomial time solvable in the general case (while it was only known for single-peaked width and in the case of narcissistic preferences). Furthermore, we establish one of the first results (to our knowledge) concerning the ef-fect of nearly single-peaked electorates on the com-plexity of an NP-hard voting system, namely we show the fixed-parameter tractability of Kemeny elections with respect to the parameters “single-peaked width ” and “single-crossing width”.

Interview: Anne-Marie Fortier
No full textThis paper is an edited version of an email interview conducted by Debra Ferreday and Adi Kuntsman with Anne-Marie Fortier, the author of Multicultural Horizons: Diversity and the Limits of the Civil Nation (Routledge, 2008). Fortier’s work has been informative in the development of some of the arguments explored in this special issue; in their conversation Ferreday and Kuntsman asked her to comment on the ideas of haunting, racial imaginaries, nostalgia, national anxieties, political feelings and hopes for the future
Beholder halfway #25: beyond unwanted sound with Marie Thompson
No full textOn this month's episode I discuss the recent book Beyond Unwanted Sound: Noise, Affect and Aesthetic Moralism with its author, Marie Thompson. We discuss different conceptions of 'noise', as anti-music or the cacophony of industrial society, competing theories of noise and Marie's powerful argument that noise is neither inherently bothersome nor transgressive. We end by discussing some of the musicians and sound artists that Marie argues transcend the dominant morality by which noise is related to.</p
