Submission Pauline Collins ANON-Z1E7-QWCC-N
No full textThis submission advocates in view of the 50 previous reports, with 750 recommendations since 2000 and the ad hoc, piecemeal changes making an already complex system more burdened after 40 years it is time to repeal the Defence Force Discipline Act 1982 and look at an entirely fresh approach. This is advocated in light of the High Court Private R v Cowen decision and the changing environment in which military members are comprised of an all-volunteer and defence civilian workforce operating in complex multi-force foreign conflicts and internal domestic domains both in security scenarios e.g. border force and community events such as the pandemic and climate episodes. Firsthand accounts from members to this author describe the lifelong stress and dysfunction caused because of the military discipline system

Trust and Trustworthiness in the Fourth and Fifth Estates
No full textThe high contemporary salience in the social sciences of the topics of "trust" and "trustworthiness" has focused attention on the mass media’s putative role in eroding trust. Intrinsically, the absence in the mass media of the dialogic and interactive element to trust building identified by O’ Neill (2002) may suggest that the lack of trust and trustworthiness in the mass media is structural and recent penalties imposed by the UK communication regulator, Ofcom, on UK public service broadcasters including the BBC seem to support such a view. However, drawing on and adapting O’Neill, the author identifies two distinct potential media trust building strategies: one procedural (based in professional norms) and the second dialogic and interactive (nascent in “Web 2.0” applications). Focusing on UK Web 2.0 media sites the author identifies instances where the "dialogic" character of "Web 2.0" has established and enhanced trustworthiness. He argues normatively for a combination of "Web 2.0" interactivity and the adoption and implementation of self-regulatory codes in order to enhance the trustworthiness of the media
Sonic Detection
No full textStolen Voices Author: Rebecca Collins and Johanna Linsley This is a collection of files related to the research project “Stolen Voices” which investigated how listening can be used to understand the shifting identities of place. The documents uploaded here are referenced in the publication Collins, R. And J. Linsley, Sonic Detection: A Polygraph (Santa Barbara, CA: punctum books). This phase of the project has been financed by Royal Society of Edinburgh (grant ID. 1076). Early phases of the project received funding from Arts Council England (grant ID. 31424873), Aberdeen University with Aberdeen City Council for the Silver City Stories Festival (grant ID. MB16). A set of physical documents related to this submission are housed at the Theatre Collection at the University of Bristol. Value for the public can be found in the connection of materials gathered in distinct locations on the coast of the UK (Bournemouth, Felixstowe, Seaham in County Durham and Aberdeen) which collectively speak to contemporary politics in the UK. The aesthetic and creative potential of the data, its focus on sound and listening at specific points between 2014-2019 (pre-Brexit) speak to a particular time in the history of the UK and its relationship to Europe. The files are grouped according to geographic location which documents the “on-the-ground” fieldwork with a selection of materials related to the “Stolen Voices” investigation and consist of audio files, stored in a .WAV format, video files stored in .MPEG format and .docx or .pdf text files. A further set of materials relate to research seminars and pedagogical uses of the research. A final set are rehearsal materials from live performances which were performed under the title of “Her Figure a Song”.See readme_07_02_24.txt fil
Examining Strategic Fit and Misfit in the Management of Knowledge Workers
No full textThis study advances research on strategic human resource management by examining the importance of alignment between an organization’s HR system and innovation strategy in achieving superior performance. We argue that alternative innovation strategies require different forms of knowledge behaviors from core knowledge workers to deal with the unique knowledge problems underlying exploration versus exploitation innovation strategies. Further, we argue that companies make distinct choices in terms of their HR strategies for managing core knowledge workers, and these alternative HR systems theoretically produce different employee ability, motivation, and opportunity outcomes which support different knowledge search and combination behaviors. We demonstrate, in a field study of 230 software firms, that alternative HR systems support either an exploration or exploitation strategy, and the alignment or misalignment between a firm’s HR system and strategy results in firm performance gains or penalties, respectively
The "Illimitable Dominion" of Charles Dickens: Transatlantic Print Culture and the Spring of 1842
Get PDFThis article explores Edgar Allan Poe’s May 1842 edition of Graham’s Monthly Magazine in the context of debates about international copyright circulating in the press at the time of Charles Dickens’s famous tour of the US. I offer a reading of Poe’s short story ‘The Masque of the Red Death’, and his review of Hawthorne’s Twice-Told Tales that sees these texts as interventions in transatlantic debates at the forefront of the public imagination in the Spring of 1842. In particular, through an original close reading of ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ I demonstrate how Poe subtly drew upon penny press exposés to inform the short story’s discussion of class, status and rights of access. I also suggest that the argument Poe made in his review of Nathaniel Hawthorne about the importance of ‘invention, creation, imagination [and] originality’ to the ‘prose tale’ is usefully considered in the same context, as an American response to questions of authorship that were also raised by the popular hysteria surrounding Dickens

How to be a woman. Models of masochism and sacrifice in young adult fiction
No full textBuffy, Bella, Veronica, Katniss, Clary, Tris and Saba : For two decades post-feminist heroines have faced life-threatening trials as part of their progress to womanhood. In this chapter I consider how young adult popular fictions operate as forms of pedagogy for young women by offering them particular models of maturity and womanhood. I explore the recurrence and reformulation of a persistent pattern of behaviour in which heroines engage in risky and/or masochistic behaviours for which they are emotionally rewarded.. These recurrences function as a form of vicarious experiential learning in which readers and viewers learn that emotional gratification and adult status are conferred through self-harm and self-sacrifice. Popular culture is not a monolithic form and young adult fictions are no exception. An analysis of fictional examples of this behaviour pattern challenges the idea that heroines today are empowered agents as a result of the legacy of feminism. At the same time, the analysis belies any notion that fictions are universally hegemonic and oppressive – fictions can and do disrupt and interrogate this pattern of emotional masochism. Scholars of public pedagogy have explored the complexities, contradictions and subtleties of the pedagogical process. Sandlin O’Malley and Burdick (2011) in their review of public pedagogy literature acknowledge that some scholarship has demonstrated how “the teaching and learning inherent within daily life can be both oppressive and resistant” (p. 144). Jubas and Knutson (2012) also see public pedagogy as an arena where contradictions and tensions are in play. They argue that we can see “New examples of dialectic or tensions … between the authority of the producer and the consumer; between traditional structures which ground identities and help people make sense of cultural texts, and personal agency which frees people to choose and invent identities and meanings” (p. 86). This analysis aims to contribute to understandings of the complexities of public pedagogy by showing how fictions aimed primarily at young women both resist and accommodate patriarchy
