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

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
Marijuana-induced recurrent acute coronary syndrome with normal coronary angiograms
No full textWe report a case of a man in his 40s presented to the emergency department twice, 1 month apart, with severe ischaemic sounding chest pain within 1 h of smoking marijuana on both occasions. He had elevated serial biomarkers and ischaemic electrocardiogram changes. His coronary angiograms on both episodes were entirely normal along with normal echocardiogram. This potentially suggests a coronary vasospasm as an underlying mechanism for these non-ST elevation myocardial infarctions. This should alert clinicians and the public alike to this potential risk of cannabis use.[Safaa AM, Markham R, Jayasinghe R.
