Off the leash : understanding the dynamics of capital mobility in IPE
No full textIn this paper I seek to extend much of the writing on capital mobility to be found in the IPE literature by arguing that there are two distinct types of mobility which need to be treated as analytically separable. The tendency in IPE is to think only in terms of ‘international’ capital mobility, which immediately creates the impression that for capital to be mobile it has to move from one country to another. This image conforms to what I call the spatial mobility of capital. However, capital should also be thought of as mobile in those instances in which it is deliberately reinvested in an alternative financial instrument. This is what I call the functional mobility of capital. Recent increases in capital mobility are linked to the institutionalisation of rentier interests within the financial economy, with subsequent implications for the distribution of life chances globally. In order to gain a full understanding of these implications it is necessary to be working with a perspective that recognises the dynamics of both the spatial and the functional mobility of capital
The Rhetoric of Sensibility: Argument, Sentiment, and Slavery in the Late Eighteenth Century.
No full textPhDThis dissertation argues that by adapting the style and techniques of
sentimental novels, poetry, and drama to persuasive writing a significant
number of late-eighteenth century political writers were able to develop a
distinct and recognisable rhetoric of sensibility. It develops this argument by
examining eighteenth-century views on the use and purpose of rhetoric, and by
looking at writing in one of the most wide-ranging debates of the lateeighteenth
century, the debate over abolition of the slave trade. Chapter One
looks at traditional ('neo-classical') rhetoric and contrasts this with some of the
many varieties of the eighteenth-century 'new rhetoric'. Chapter Two looks at
particular rhetorical strategies employed during the sentimental period and
identifies the main tropes of the rhetoric of sensibility. Chapter Three examines
the relationship between slavery and literary sentimentalism, looking at the way
in which imaginative writers used sentimental rhetoric to advance the idea of
anti-slavery. It also considers the extent to which abolitionist poems, plays,
and novels themselves contributed to the development of a sentimental
rhetoric. Chapter Four examines the use of sentimental rhetoric in nonfictional
slavery-related tracts and pamphlets. It explores the ways in which
the sentimental rhetorical strategies outlined in Chapter Two were adopted by
both pro and anti-slavery writers of the 1780s. Chapter Five discusses how
William Wilberforce, the main parliamentary advocate for abolition, used
sentimental rhetoric in his early parliamentary speeches. The conclusion
examines anti-slavery writing after the collapse of the first abolition campaign
in 1792. In particular, it examines the use of sentimental rhetoric in responses
to the revolutions in France and Haiti and suggests that after this date
sentimental rhetoric, though never entirely disappearing, was progressively
supplanted by other forms of rhetoric
From 'laissez-faire' to 'homes fit for heroes': housing in Dundee 1868-1919
No full textThe thesis begins by discussing the process of
urbanisation in nineteenth-century Scotland, the nature of
urban social problems and housing as an urban issue. However,
the major concern of the research has been to examine how most
people consumed housing in Dundee between 1868 and 1919, a
period when the dominant form of provision - private
landlordism - underwent crisis.
A major time-slice has been taken for Dundee in 1911,
using the valuation rolls, allowing the tenure pattern to be
mapped and the pattern of ownership and management to be
analysed. Tensions arising from the landlord-tenant
relationship and tenure distinctions are highlighted,
including the missive system, evictions and the rent crises of
1912 and 1915.
Local government activity has been examined, especially
the powers vested in local officials and the actions they
took, particularly in the way this affected landlords, factors
and tenants. The nature and form of slum crusades as a
response to the perceived, failure of the urban environment is
discussed. The changes in policy, which led to the first
state-aided council, housing scheme in Scotland, have been
researched.
Finally the thesis turns to living space and examines the
connections between women, planning and the home.
Overall the thesis is intended to be a major contribution to
the social history and social geography of Dundee

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
No full textTwenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least 4 m. With the support of their governments in the US, Europe, and Canada, 20,000 people realized that vision as the 6.5 m James Webb Space Telescope. A generation of astronomers will celebrate their accomplishments for the life of the mission, potentially as long as 20 yr, and beyond. This report and the scientific discoveries that follow are extended thank-you notes to the 20,000 team members. The telescope is working perfectly, with much better image quality than expected. In this and accompanying papers, we give a brief history, describe the observatory, outline its objectives and current observing program, and discuss the inventions and people who made it possible. We cite detailed reports on the design and the measured performance on orbit
