The Lady Markham Elegies
No full textThis project studies the contemporary manuscript transmission of three poems written on the 1609 death of Lady Bridget Markham. Lady Markham was the cousin of the influential courtier and patron Lucy, Countess of Bedford and her death prompted an outpouring of verses that were collected in manuscript verse miscellanies during the period. John Donne was in the process of establishing a patronage relationship with Lady Bedford at the time and wrote a respectful elegy on her cousin’s death. Francis Beaumont also wrote, for the same occasion, what has been called the most “repellent” work of the English Renaissance. That same year, Lady Bedford wrote an elegy on the death of another kinswoman, Cecilia Bulstrode, which several scribes redirected to Lady Markham. This project attends to the diverse ways contemporary verse collectors encountered, altered, and situated these poems, mediating the legacy of Markham’s death and Bedford’s patronage. The method for this project adapts elements of single-author critical editing to study the verses as a group. By organizing textual study around Lady Bedford and the death of Lady Markham, it reorients research away from the individual author towards the patron and her circle
The cult of St Nicholas in medieval Italy
No full textSt Nicholas was one of the most popular saints in medieval Italy. His cult attracted the attention
of popes, kings and emperors, and his shrine at Bari became an important international pilgrimage
destination. This thesis asks how the cult of St Nicholas came to be so widespread and popular in
Italy, and why the saint attracted the attention of diverse groups and individuals.
This thesis is structured around four chapters. The first demonstrates that through a
process of Latinisation the cult of St Nicholas became integrated within Italian literary traditions
and within a new spiritual era. Chapter Two reveals that this Latinisation also occurred within the
saint’s iconography. Chapters Three and Four are case studies of the cult in Puglia and Venice,
locations which claimed possession of the saint’s relics. These case studies show that the general
developments that the cult of St Nicholas underwent in Italy, identified in Chapters One and Two,
did not apply universally. Instead, the presence of the saint’s relics resulted in a different profile
of the saint in Bari and Venice. Through the process of Latinisation, the cult of St Nicholas
became updated and remained relevant for its new Italian audience; Chapters Three and Four
show alternative ways that the cult of St Nicholas gained widespread popularity.
This thesis presents for the first time an iconographical study of St Nicholas in Italian art,
which develops existing research of the saint’s Byzantine iconography. Chapter Four presents a
profile of the cult of St Nicholas in Venice in the Middle Ages, which is a significant oversight in
the literature. The thesis uses a variety of visual and textual sources, in particular fresco and
altarpiece representations, archival documents from Venice and Rome (including the Apostolic
Visitations), and under-exploited contemporary and antiquarian Venetian sources

Troubled Closeness or Satisfied Distance? Researching Media Consumption and Public Connection
No full textThere is a key ambiguity in media phenomenology which Raymond Williams expressed better than anyone when he wrote about media as:
… a form of unevenly shared consciousness of persistently external events. [Media] is what appears to happen, in these powerfully transmitted and mediated ways, in a world within which we have no other perceptible connections but we feel is at once central and marginal to our lives. (Williams, 1973: 295–6, added emphasis)
We cannot grasp this paradox unless we accept that media, particularly broadcast media, are important in the phenomenology of everyday experience, something Paddy Scannell’s work has done so much to establish as a dimension of media research. We need, however, a more differentiated view of the varieties and tensions at work within this phenomenology, which we will try to develop by drawing on our recent empirical research1 which asked what everyday media consumption contributes to people’s orientation towards, or away from, a world of public issues beyond the purely private. Through written or spoken diaries produced over an extended period of three months, and interviews/focus groups with participating diarists during a fieldwork relationship lasting up to one year, we tried to understand from multiple perspectives how individual citizens fit media use into their wider practice and how this contributes, or not, to their sense of orientation to a public world. Our research complicates Scannell’s account of how media expand the horizons of everyday life, at least in relation to the public and potentially political dimensions of media consumption

Distribution Bopyrissa wolffi is distributed from North Carolina, Florida and Texas, USA, to the Bahamas, Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Mexico (Boyko & Williams 2004). In Mexico, this bopyrid had only been recorded parasitizing C. tricolor near Akumal, Quintana Roo (Markham et al. 1990); here, two more locations on this coast are added, Isla Blanca and Cozumel, parasitizing C. tricolor. Similarly, for the first time B. wolffi is recorded attached to C. vittatus in Laguna de Tamiahua, Veracruz (Fig. 1A), which is a new locality for this bopyrid in the Gulf of Mexico. McDermott et al. (2010) noted that only two hosts are recognized for B. wolffi, C. tricolor and C. vittatus. Remarks Both females (Figs 2F, 9A) and males (Fig. 9K–L) examined match well the description of Bopyrissa wolffi provided by Markham (1978); however, the following variations were observed: the marsupium of five females was partially or totally closed; first pair of oostegites differs in size, the one on the short side of the female was consistently larger than the one on the opposite side (Fig. 9B–E). Most females (n = 7) show the barbula with a single, stout and crenulated lateral projection (Fig. 9F), similar to that noted as variation and illustrated by Markham (1978: fig. 3b) but one of them (CNCR-36501) bears just a small bump on each side on the barbula (Fig. 9G), as well as pleomeres 1–3 distinct whilst pleomeres 4–5 are fused (Fig. 9H). Excepting one female (CNCR-36502-C) that had four pairs of pleopods biramous and the fifth uniramous, all other females examined had five pairs of pleopods biramous, with the endopod thinner and larger than exopod (Fig. 9I). Markham (1978) described the antennae of B. wolffi as “markedly reduced”, in our females the antennule was short and 3-segmented whilst the antenna was thin, long and 4-segmented, both bearing small apical setae (Fig. 9J). Likewise, in males of this species Markham (1978) noted the antennule of three segments and the antenna as “obscurely segmented (maybe of four segments)”, in the males examined both antennule and antenna were 3-segmented and of similar outline and size (Fig. 9K). The pleopods in our males were a pair of small bulges at middle of each pleomere, those in first pleomere were the largest and from pleomeres 2 to 5 gradually decreasing in size (Fig. 9K). Reproduction The average TL of ovigerous females (3.89 ± 0.93 mm) of P. wolffi was more than twice that reported (1.91 mm) by McDermott (1998), since this author recorded ovigerous females between 1.73 and 2.20 mm in size and the females with embryos examined here ranged from 2.18 mm TL to 4.95 mm TL (Table 1). This noticeable difference in sizes may explain the higher overall average fecundity calculated in our samples (2182.17 ± 1660.14 embryos) compared to the mean fecundity of 314 embryos calculated by McDermott (1998). Only the smallest ovigerous female (Table 1), with an evident loss of embryos (220 embryos) was below the range reported by McDermott (1998). The average length and width of embryos of B. wolffi by stage of development and epicaridium larvae are shown in Table 1. Sizes of embryos in egg stage ranged from 0.109 to 0.145 mm of length and between 0.091 and 0.127 mm of width, whilst the lengths of embryos in stage I varied from 0.145 to 0.182 mm and their width between 0.127 and 0.164 mm. Volume of embryo in egg stage ranged from 0.0005 to 0.0012 mm 3, and for embryos in stage I varied between 0.0012 and 0.0023 mm 3. The average volumes of both stages of development (Table 1) are comparable to those reported for other bopyrids of similar sizes (see Romero-Rodríguez & Álvarez 2020). The epicaridium larvae length ranged from 0.164 to 0.200 mm and the width between 0.109 mm and 0.145 mm. In both hermit crab species parasitized by B. wolffi a similar number of females and males were recorded, thus no statistical differences were found (χ 2 = 0.01, df =1; P <0.05), and both sexes were of similar average sizes: C. tricolor had an average size of 3.98 ± 1.10 mm of shield for females (n = 2) and 4.85 mm of shield for males (n = 1), whilst in C. vittatus the average size was 7.09 ± 0.89 mm of shield for females (n = 3) and 7.23 ± 1.08 mm of shield for males (n = 2). The prevalence estimated for B. wolffi was 3.36 %, eight parasitized hosts out of 238 individuals.Published as part of Romero-Rodriguez, Jesús & Álvarez, Fernando, 2023, Parasitic bopyrid isopods of hermit crabs (Anomura, Paguridae) from the Atlantic coast of Mexico, with notes on their reproduction and distribution, pp. 132-167 in European Journal of Taxonomy 861 on pages 153-156, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2023.861.2073, http://zenodo.org/record/775375
The politics of journalistic creativity: expressiveness, authenticity and de-authorization
No full textThis article begins with the assertion that creativity in journalism has moved from being a matter of guile and ingenuity to being about expressiveness, and that this reflects a broader cultural shift from professional expertise to the authenticity of personal expression as dominant modes of valorization. It then seeks to unpack the normative baggage that underpins the case for creativity in the cultural industries. First, there is a prioritization of agency, which does not stand up against the phenomenological argument that we do not own our own practices. Second, creative expression is not necessarily more free, simply alternately structured. As with Judith Butler’s performativity model, contemporary discourses of creativity assume it to have a unique quality by which it eludes determination (relying on tropes of fluidity), whereas it can be countered that it is in spontaneous, intuitive practice that we are at our least agencical. Third, the article argues against the idea that by authorizing journalists (and audiences) to express themselves, creativity is democratizing, since the always-already nature of recognition means that subjects can only voice their position within an established terrain rather than engage active positioning
The political phenomenology of war reporting
No full textDrawing on interviews with war correspondents, editors, political and military personnel, this article investigates the political dimension of the structuration and structuring effects of the reporter’s experience of journalism. Self-reflection and judgements about colleagues confirm that there are dominant norms for interpreting and acting in conflict scenarios which, while contingent upon socio-historical context, are interpreted as natural. But the prevalence of such codes masks the systematically misrecognized symbolic systems of mystification and ambivalence – systems which reproduce hierarchies and gatekeeping structures in the field, but which are either experienced as unremarkable, dismissed with irony and cynicism, or not present to the consciousness of the war correspondent. The article builds on recent theories of journalistic disposition, ideology, discourse and professionalism, and describes the political dimension of journalistic practice perceived in the field as apolitical. It addresses the gendering of war correspondence, the rise of the journalist as moral authority, and questions the extent to which respondent reflections can be defensibly analytically determined
