Distaffs and "temple" in early Bronze age Iran
No full textTra i materiali di età protostorica confiscati dalle forze di sicurezza iraniane nei dintorni di Jiroft (Kerman) e attualmente in mostra al Museo archeologico dello stesso centro vi è un gruppo di grandi spilloni in lega di rame, il maggiore dei quali raggiunge la considerevole lunghezza di 58 cm. Alcuni di essi hanno la testa a forma di due coni sovrapposti, che potrebbe ricordare una giara carenata con collo cilindrico. L’estremità posteriore di un esemplare, invece, è assottigliata e penetra trasversalmente in un massiccio fermaglio in lapislazzuli blu-indaco di elevata qualità, scolpito in forma della porta con architrave insellato che rappresenta uno motivi ricorrenti nell’arte dei vasi in clorite del sud-est Iranico nella seconda metà del III millennio a.C. I manufatti, provenienti da tombe scavate clandestinamente, sono privi di contesto di rinvenimento, e la loro funzione rimane questione aperta. L’articolo tuttavia esplora la possibilità che si tratti di conocchie per la filatura della lana, e che simili oggetti facessero parte dei corredi funebri e delle strategie di esibizione del rango di defunte appartenenti agli strati sociali più elevati della civiltà dell’Halil Rud. Il “portale” in lapislazzuli, uno dei più grandi oggetti nella pietra blu sinora trovati nella regione, potrebbe alludere a un edificio mitologico, sacro o a un luogo di culto, cosa che assocerebbe la lavorazione della lana alla sfera delle pratiche religiose
Making the story count: an argument for the development of a narrative evaluation tool in the Arts in criminal justice sector
No full textAt the centre of this chapter lies a particularly cruel irony: the more that creative writing practitioners working in prisons have attempted to demonstrate the value of their work, the less their voices have been heard. A focus on evaluation has often muted the authentic voices of creative practitioners. This chapter highlights an innovative research design that took stories and their authors seriously on their own terms. A creative data collection method allowed practitioners the freedom to express their journeys into prison as they chose, using an innovative storyboarding technique, while the commitment to rigour in the analysis of the resulting narratives led to the development of robust, participant-centred narratological tools. These methods, as much as possible, prioritise the practitioners’ story over the researcher’s interpretation and foreground the practitioner as author, protagonist and expert of their own narratives. Moving forwards, these methods will allow the authentic stories of both practitioners and prisoners to be told, leading to a better understanding of how the arts, and especially creative writing, can contribute to and catalyse the narratives of desistance

The green fields of Ireland: The legacy of Dublin's housing boom and the impact on commuting
No full textDublin, like many other international cities has experienced a significant housing boom in the past decade. This boom has seen an unprecedented increase in the number of houses built and in the density of housing at the periphery of the city. In addition, Dublin has become a more dispersed city with centres of employment no longer being focused only in the Central Business District (CBD). At the same time, the provision of public transport infrastructure, while it has improved, has not kept pace with the increase in housing stock, leading to high levels of car dependency in these peripheral suburban areas. This paper seeks to examine how commuting patterns have changed as a result of this increasing in housing stock. The results presented in this paper show that even within the same electoral districts, commuters living in housing built after 2001 are more likely to drive than those living in older housing. This paper analyses the modal choices of commuters living in both new and older housing and describes the factors that may be leading to higher levels of car dependency in those living in newer housing. The case study presented in this paper shows a city region in transition and documents the impact that a housing boom has had upon commuting patterns.JG 2014-11-24 Author Brian Caulfield, TCD -- not to be confused with Brian Caulfield, UC
Holden Caulfield: A Marginal Player Made by Historical Context
No full textHolden Caulfield, the major character in Jerome David Salinger’s most rewarded novel The Catcher in the Rye, long stood as the innovative and leading figure for such distinctive and revolutionary traits in a character he presented in 1959s’ America literary domain. Salinger media-shy and no interview policies led the public to spread out the idea of the author’s being the whole genius behind the sheer novelty of Holden Caulfield character by making a myth out of the author who turns down any kind of publicity and is finally lionized. This student-friendly hero who denigrate respectability and” phoniness” with his cynical attitude and obscene language, in one way or another, is kept being compared to such huge characters like Huckle Berry Finn whose universal popularity is barely deniable; but the question is that, could at any rate, J.D.Salinger be the sole innovator behind this genuineness? On the other hand, are there any other social and environmental factors, which came to pave the way for any kinds of Holden to be born and well liked? The main purpose of the paper is to answer these questions by a kind of critical theory as New Historicism and survey through the history as a discourse in this method. The results and findings indicate that, apparently, there was a specific social context for the emergence of this novel, with which the author had to interact. By opening up the environmental condition of those days and considering the facts, which affected Holden’s birth and popularity in that era. This essay will point out the fact that criticizing America’s 50s in such aforementioned ambience was inevitably and to some extent predictable.</jats:p

DigiPo: The Digital Polarization Initiative
No full textCuratorial note from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Mike Caulfield launched DigiPo, a wiki where students from any university or college can evaluate information and claims made on the Web, in response to the alarming prevalence of inaccurate and fake information on the Web. Through DigiPo assignments, students develop skills in evaluating digital information and media, such as online news stories, memes, and images, and then author analyses on the DigiPo wiki. Students develop key digital and information literacy skills, such as understanding the context for information they find on the Web and the process of creating information on the Web (for more, see the Association of College and Research Libraries Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education). Instructors who want to use DigiPo in their classes can visit the DigiPo help page
Episode 088: How I learned to stop worrying and follow the data (with Timothy Caulfield)
No full textHow much coffee should we drink? Is there a scientific way to have a healthy, happy life? And how do we distinguish scientific sense from nonsense?
In this episode, we talk with author and University of Alberta professor Timothy Caulfield about decision making and misinformation in the modern world. A surprising number of “common sense” decisions that people make in their daily lives are not actually backed by strong scientific evidence, and Tim strives to debunk these in his recent book, “Relax, Dammit!: A User\u27s Guide to the Age of Anxiety”.
Among other things, we discuss with Tim how often we should check email and how risky it really is for kids to walk to school. We also talk about how science communication can be used to curb misinformation, and Tim shares his dos and don’ts for effective scicomm.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/bigbiology_podcasts/1089/thumbnail.jp
