Narrating the past: virtual environments and narrative
No full textThis paper explores how traditional narrative language used in film and theatre can be adapted to create interactivity and a greater sense of presence in the virtual heritage environment. It focuses on the fundamental principles of narrative required to create immersion and presence and investigates methods of embedding intangible social histories into these environments. These issues are explored in a case study of Greens Mill in the 1830’s, interweaving the story of the reform bill riots in Nottingham with the life of George Green, mathematician and proprietor of the Mill

The Rights of War and Peace. Political Thought and the International Order from Grotius to Kant, Oxford University Press, Nueva York, 1999
No full textRichard Tuck, en este fragmento de su obra, plantea una innovadora visión de la tradición filosófica que da origen a unos planteamientos liberales, esenciales en nuestra época. El autor plantea como el escepticismo y la razón de estado, recuperados por los teóricos del Renacimiento y aplicados al comportamiento a los estados en Relaciones Internacionales en plena expansión europea, suprimen todo vestigio de cualidad afectiva o moral en éstos y son trasladados al ámbito de la sociedad civil para que los individuos puedan comportarse como verdaderos agentes liberalesIn this part of his book, Richard Tuck reveals a new perspective on the philosophical tradition that gave birth to some of the most fundamental liberal principles. The author explains how the skepticism and the raison d´etat recovered by Renaissance theorists are applied to the behavior of the nation-states in International Relations during the European expansion, suppressing all kind of affective or moral quality and are translated to the civil society in order to convert the individuals into perfect liberal agents
On thin or slender bodies
No full textThis is a review of thin-body and slender-body theories, with indications of some new applications. Topics discussed include bodies with near-constant surface pressure, subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics, ship hydrodynamics, slender bodies in Stokes flow, slender footings in elastic media, and slender moonpools. Mathematical features of the thin- and slender-body approximations are also discussed, especially nonlocal convolution terms modelling three-dimensionality in the otherwise two-dimensional near field, end effects, and the role of the logarithm of the slenderness ratio. This review was presented by the first author as the IMA Lighthill Memorial Lecture at the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium (BAMC) 2004.E. O. Tuck and Y. M. Stoke

Can children’s books help children embracing death as a part of life? The case of Tuck Everlasting (1975)
No full textWith effect sizes ranging from small to moderate, bibliotherapy has positive outcomes with respect to children’s behavioral problems; and carefully selected children’s books may be useful in helping children embrace death as part of life. From Aesop’s Fables to Anderson’s tales, or Doris Buchanan Smith’s A Taste of Blackberries (1973) to Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls (2011), numerous literary works give reference to death, dying, and bereavement. One of the best examples in children’s literature of modern times is found in the fantasy novel Tuck Everlasting (1975), written by the American author Natalie Babbitt (1932–2016), which has sold more than five million copies and was also adapted into two feature films and a musical. Exploring themes of immortality, life, and death, Tuck Everlasting is very likely to aid children in conceptualizing the meaning of death. Considering the fact that the book has been translated into many major languages of the world, it is widely accessible for young school children as well.</p
“Tuck in Yuh Belly”: Imperatives of Female Slenderness in Jamaican Dancehall Music
No full textReggae songs such as Clancy Eccles\u27s (2010) “Fatty, Fatty” and Buju Banton\u27s (2000) “Di Woman Dem Phat” have traditionally celebrated the fat, black woman\u27s body as an agent of desire. However, some more recent discourses such as Left Side and Esco\u27s (2005) “Tuck in Yuh Belly” suggest an impending reversal of this celebration of fleshiness. The author explores representations of female fatness in masculine discourses from the Jamaican dancehall music arena, specifically those discourses that pathologize fat and suggest the preferred desirability of slenderness
