The naked eye: vision and risk in the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins
No full textThis thesis takes as its subject vision and risk in the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins, 1844-1889. Because Hopkins's poetry displays so evident a fascination with the particulars of language, it is unsurprising that the critical tradition on his work has thus far been heavily dominated by matters of sound: by the verbal, the rhythmic, the musical, and the aural. However, in this thesis I move from the sounded to the seen, identifying in Hopkins's work a central preoccupation with the visual, with looking and seeing, and the possibilities and dangers inherent in each. Here was a man driven to look for beauty, yet this compulsion to look was matched only by a desperate desire to look away. I shall argue that it is this dichotomy, and the excitement of the many and various possibilities it engenders, that so characterises Hopkins's engagement with the visual world.
Born into a rapidly-changing late Victorian world, Hopkins was fascinated by sight and by the increasingly problematic act of seeing. He frequently characterises himself in explicitly visual terms, and his poetry is littered with numerous references to eyes, eyeballs, eyelashes, eyelids, and eyesight, in addition to many metaphors of sight in its various forms. He demonstrates a recurring notably obsessive anxiety over the health of his eyes and the acuity of his sight, yet repeated medical reassurance does nothing to quell his fears over his perceived loss of vision. Counter to, but inextricably linked with, this fear for the loss of sight is an intense awareness of the danger of sight. This paradox is central to Hopkins's conception of himself and of his roles as both poet and priest.
Chapter One considers Hopkins's engagement with the intensely visual Victorian cultural environment. Hopkins was a keen draughtsman and painter in his youth and for a while considered becoming a professional poet-painter like Dante Gabriel Rossetti, with whose family he was well acquainted. Although he decided to relinquish his artistic ambitions in favour of the priesthood, he remained a keen critic of art and architecture throughout his life. His diaries and journals, littered with sketches and accounts of visits to galleries and exhibitions, are fascinating for what they reveal of this intensely eye/I-driven individual, and the acute anxieties he experienced when confronted by beauty, in whatever form.
Chapter Two continues this concern with beauty and its inherent dangers, but now moves to consider Hopkins's often anxious visual encounters with other people. As a vigilant social observer, his writing ranges from delightedly detailed depictions of other individuals, particularly young men, to deeply uneasy descriptions of massed crowds and formless groups of people. This chapter shows a particular concern, as Hopkins did, with the purpose of mortal beauty, and the dangers and challenges it could pose.
Chapter Three develops the concerns of the previous chapter, by pursuing the additional dimension of people looking. In this chapter I consider a group of Hopkins's strangest and yet most celebratory poems, united by a concern with people looking at others who are themselves looking. With the uneasy concept of the voyeur never far away, this chapter raises questions about the moral, psychological and social dimensions of seeing within Hopkins's work, and thus I assess the meaning of licit and illicit sight, whether on the part of the benevolent or neutral observer, the systematic enquirer, the voyeur or the enlightened seer. This chapter argues that the dynamic nature of this relationship between perceiver and object, the seer and the seen, is central to his endlessly complex dialectic of vision and visuality. It closes by moving to consider the ultimate unseen seer, God. In the figure of Christ we find the ultimate exemplar of mortal beauty, and the chapter returns to the concerns explored in Chapter Two, now from a Christological perspective.
In Chapter Four, the concluding chapter, the concerns elicited in the previous chapters are pulled together in a discussion of Hopkins's longest and greatest symphonic poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland (1875-1876). This poem has at its heart an intense concern with seeing and the seeing of seeing, with the act of witness, and the role of the martyr, while foregrounding the reciprocal qualities of beauty and danger. The thesis concludes with a close reading of this electrifying poem about vision and sight in the many senses explored in the course of the study as a whole

A monthly temperature series for Durham from 1784
No full textThe geographer and climatologist Gordon Manley produced a monthly temperature reduction for Durham University Observatory from 1801 to extend the series back from the start of meteorological observations at the Observatory in the 1840s. He produced his extended series shortly before he died in 1980, and left it in a provisional state, with limited notes regarding his construction of the monthly means based on temperature observations from sites around the North East of England. Papers that Manley left have been examined to ascertain how he arrived at his reduction, and his methods have been fully documented and analysed. Errors in the derivation of his monthly means have been corrected, and methods that he used refined to improve their accuracy. New techniques for the reduction of means from archived data have been studied. A selection of these were implemented to improve the accuracy of the new series, and further temperature observations that Manley did not use in his version have been evaluated and introduced. Observations from South Cave, near Hull, from 1794, and from Brandsby, near York, from 1784, provide the extension of the record back from 1801. Substantial sets of monthly means from Braithwaite, near Keighley, and Jesmond, near Newcastle upon Tyne, in addition to shorter sets from other sites around the North East of England and the Borders, have been incorporated into the reduction from 1801 to improve the representativeness of Manley's series. The completed series, from January 1784, has been analysed and compared with other temperature series for the British Isles, and the potential for a daily version of the monthly series has been investigated, based upon the data sources currently available

Known from the Arizona Mountains forests, Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Chihuahuan Desert in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas (USA) and Sonora (Mexico). Remarks. This is the apparent sister species to L. ptilohyalus; the two species share similar coloration and genitalic morphology. The distribution of L. crocopinna spans multiple ecoregions in the western USA and parallels that of Dilophotopsis concolor (Cresson). Wilson and Pitts (2008) described the distribution of D. concolor and its sister species, D. paron (Cameron). Dilophotopsis paron occurs in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts, as does L. ptilohyalus. The parallel distributions of these sister-species pairs should be studied more closely, as they could shed light on historic events that impacted the biogeography of numerous velvet ants.Published as part of Williams, Kevin A., Cambra, Roberto A., Bartholomay, Pedro R., Luz, David R., Quintero, Diomedes & Pitts, James P., 2019, Review of the genus Lomachaeta Mickel, 1936 (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae) with new species and sex associations, pp. 101-136 in Zootaxa 4564 (1) on page 111, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4564.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/258877

Occupational mobility and living in deprived neighbourhoods : housing tenure differences in ‘neighbourhood effects’
No full textThis research was funded by the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC Grant Agreement n. 615159 (ERC Consolidator Grant DEPRIVEDHOODS, Socio-spatial inequality, deprived neighbourhoods, and neighbourhood effects). The authors also acknowledge the Marie Curie programme under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / Career Integration Grant n. PCIG10-GA-2011-303728 (CIG Grant NBHCHOICE, Neighbourhood choice, neighbourhood sorting, and neighbourhood effects).The literature on neighbourhood effects suggests that the lack of social mobility of some groups has a spatial dimension. It is thought that those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods are the least likely to achieve upward mobility because of a range of negative neighbourhood effects. Most studies investigating such effects only identify correlations between individual outcomes and their residential environment and do not take into account that selection into neighbourhoods is a non-random mechanism. This paper investigates occupational mobility between 1991 and 2001 for those who were employed in Scotland in 1991 by using unique longitudinal data from Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). We add to the existing literature by investigating neighbourhood effects on occupational mobility separately for social renters, private renters and home owners. We find that ‘neighbourhood effects’ are strongest for home owners, which is an unexpected finding. We argue that the correlation between characteristics of the residential environment and occupational mobility can at least partially be explained by selection effects: homeowners with the least resources, who are least likely to experience upward mobility, are also most likely to sort into the most deprived neighbourhoods. Social housing tenants experience less selective sorting across neighbourhoods as other than market forces are responsible for the neighbourhood sorting mechanism.Peer reviewe

Head. Black; mandible tridentate; clypeus flat, anterior margin feebly bidentate; scape conspicuously bicarinate, clothed with dense silver setae; flagellomere I slightly shorter than remaining segments; antennal scrobe distinctly carinate; head with coarse contiguous punctures; occipital region compressed laterally; front and vertex with inconspicuous silver setae in most specimens, entirely black in some. Mesosoma. Black; anterior margin slightly convex, not emarginate medially; scutellum with long lateral arms and short median process to form "W" -shaped structure, coarsely punctate; tegula black, with sparse punctures throughout, with sparse black setae; mesosoma with coarse contiguous punctures throughout; pronotum with setae varying from entirely silver to entirely black; mesonotum with entirely black setae. Legs black, clothed with silver setae. Wings fuscous. Metasoma. Black, except tergum II conspicuously yellow; tergum I with coarse contiguous punctures; remainder of metasoma with shallow well-separated punctures; pygidium glabrous, shining, with apical fringe of black setae; sternum I with longitudinal carina almost entire length; sternum II shining, without pit filled with setae; posterolateral angle of last sternite not dentate; last sternite with shallow separated punctures, except apical margin glabrous; apical margin produced into median tooth. Genitalia (Plate 1I). Paramere thin, apex dorsally curved, ventral margin of basal 0.3 densely pubescent, remainder with short sparse setae; cuspis cylindrical, with sparse thick long setae throughout, then, elongate, length about 0.8X free length of paramere, densely pubescent elongate basal lobe present; digitus linear, tapering towards apex, slightly knob-like apically, length about 0.2X free length of paramere; penial valve bidentate, teeth separate, anterior tooth larger than posterior tooth.

In reference to the type locality of Guanacaste, Costa Rica; the specific-epithet is a noun in apposition. Remarks. This species is known only from the male. A key diagnostic character is the scutellum with long lateral arms and a short, median process that forms a "W" -shaped structure. It is distinguished from D. naranjo and D. sleipniri by absence of a pit on sternum II. This seems to be a relatively common species in Costa Rica. There are approximately 30 specimens in addition to the type specimens.Published as part of MANLEY, DONALD G. & PITTS, JAMES P., 2007, Tropical and Subtropical Velvet Ants of the Genus Dasymutilla Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae) with Descriptions of 45 New Species, pp. 1-128 in Zootaxa 1487 (1) on page 56, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1487.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/508678
