ESR7: Misha Broughton on "Mass digitization data for scholarly research and digital editions "
No full textNot My Best Piccie, but certainly not my worst. Last to the party, as usual, I'm afraid. :-D Misha Broughton, Early Stage Researcher Number 7, checking in from Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (aka Köln, [aka Cologne], Germany). I hold a Master's degree in English Literature and Language from Case Western Reserve University and - before accepting this Fellowship - was pursuing my PhD in the same field at the Ohio State University. I'm currently in a state of academic limbo, on leave of abse..
Data driven editing: materials, product and analysis
No full textThis panel seeks to explore the possibilities of a more data-driven editing practice, one that sees not only our material (digital proxies, collections information, transcriptions, and metadata) but also our resulting products (corpora, editions) and all of our intermediary stages not as text or images or content, but as data per se. In the following sections, we will seek to reconcile the ambiguity inherent to humanities inquiry with the exactitude required of digital data, asking how we can ‘read’ this data, and what – if anything – is our responsibility as editors to provide access not merely to the final argument of our editions, but to the data that informs it. In particular the author describes the practice case of "Letters 1916"
Systemic Risk in Digital Services: Benchmarks for Evaluating Management of Risk of Terrorist Content Dissemination
No full textIn this issue paper, author Sally Broughton Micova explores the key definitional issues surrounding terrorist content and maps the ecosystem of actors involved in its risk assessment, mitigation, enforcement, and dissemination. Based on detailed analysis, the paper develops a series of benchmarks and concomitant metrics for the systemic risk evaluation of terrorist content
Polar Research Facilities: living in isolation
No full textUnited KingdomHugh Broughton Architects502ICES502: Space ArchitectureVienna, AustriaHugh Broughton, Hugh Broughton Architects, United KingdomThe 46th International Conference on Environmental Systems was held in Vienna, Austria, USA on 10 July 2016 through 14 July 2016.The author is the architect of three Polar Research Facilities: Halley VI for the British Antarctic Survey, the remodelling of the Juan Carlos 1 Spanish Antarctic Base and the Atmospheric Watch Observatory at Summit Station. He has also prepared designs for polar stations for India, Korea and Brazil as well as a hospital on Tristan da Cuhna, the world’s most remote island.
The British base is located on the floating Brunt Ice Shelf and has been fully operational since February 2012. Numerous design features have been included to help residents overcome the effects of seasonal affected disorder and sensory deprivations including daylight simulation lighting, colour psychology, quiet as well as communal space and careful choice of materials.
Juan Carlos 1 Spanish Antarctic Base is under construction on a raised beach of glacial deposits. The design minimises maintenance, maximises interior quality and allows opening and closing at the start and end of each season to be achieved as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The US Atmospheric Watch Observatory will be located at Summit Station at the top of the Greenland ice cap. The module is designed to provide year round state-of-the-art laboratory facilities for atmospheric and snow chemistry research. The energy efficient, aerodynamic design maximizes flexibility to suit the ever-changing needs of the scientific research.
The paper will describe the lessons learnt designing for isolated locations with particular reference to the aforementioned polar projects. It will investigate ways in which solutions for living in isolation on our planet could be relevant to the design of accommodation for astronauts on long duration missions in space, in particular citing one example of a collaboration between the author and NASA advising on net habitable volumes for astronauts on long duration missions
Consumptive death in Victorian literature: 1830 - 1880.
No full textPhDVictorian medical men, writers, relatives of the dying and consumptive sufferers
themselves seized on the narrative potential of representations of the disease in a
variety of ways.
I argue that both medical and lay writers subscribed to a common set of beliefs
about the disease and that medical knowledge, moreover, shared a common
narrative way of knowing and understanding it. I analyse aspects of general
clinical expository texts, including accompanying illustrations, showing how a
narrative knowledge of death and the tubercular body was elaborated.
Furthermore, I show how documents used in the compilation of medical statistics
on the cause of death were fundamentally narrative through their reliance on case
narratives.
It is demonstrated that Dickens uses a seldom noticed consumptive death and
decline to offset his heroine's development in Bleak House, in ways similar to
those developed in Jane Eyre. Similarly, it is shown that Mrs Gaskell's use of a
consumptive alcoholic 'fallen woman' unsettles her account of her heroine in Mary
Barton. George Eliot's 'Janet's Repentance' is analysed, showing how the
psychological struggle between an orientation towards life or death is played out
across both alcoholism and consumption. I also examine how consumption
presents a narrative opportunity whereby plots involving setbacks in love are
resolved through women's consumptive deaths in popular fiction by Rhoda
Broughton,Ladv Georgiana Fullerton and others. Through an examination of the Journal of Emily Shore and accounts of other actual
deaths, I illustrate how experiences and accounts of consumptive deaths were
structured and rendered intelligible through reliance on beliefs encountered in both
fiction and medicine. In conclusion, the thesis alerts readers to the presence of
signifiers of consumption in Victorian texts, showing how various narrative
strategies are integral to any understanding of representations of its dying victim
Broughton Island, N.S.W. Recent Prehistoric use of an Offshore Ocean Island
No full textIn June 1974 exceptionally strong winds coincided with high tides on the coast of New South Wales to create damaging waves. Unpublicized results were wave cut sections in middens previously unrecorded. One such exposure was on Broughton Island, which was visited by the author for a day in July 1974

Indigenous-settler relations and the emparkment of the Broughton Archipelago Marine Park
No full textThe purpose of this research paper is to examine and discuss Indigenous-Settler relationships in the context of the Broughton Archipelago with a focus on the Broughton Archipelago Marine Park. The literature regarding the displacement and dispossession of land from Indigenous peoples in order to create protected and park lands is examined along with the surrounding literature of settler-colonialism. Analyzing current policies and cultural artifacts presented by BC Parks provides the foundation of this paper and is interpreted using concepts from Cronon’s (1995) perspective on the creation of wilderness, Braun’s (2002) view on tourism and nature, and Harris’ (2002) work on the ways that power relations work through dominant geographies. My own experiences as a guide in the archipelago situate the events and actions on the land which adds a personal contextual element to this work. This thesis will aim to highlight the gap that has emerged between what is said and claimed by BC Parks and what actually takes place on the ground. My goal is to offer a discussion of the benefits of these actions taking fruition and the evolving position of First Nations. The findings of this project will not directly recommend actions to be taken by First Nations or governmental agencies but will challenge the perspective and discourse of the Broughton Archipelago Marine Park for both scholars and land users
