The Quantified Baby: Discourses of Consumption
No full textHolloway, Mascheroni and Inglis adopt critical discourse analysis to examine commercial discourses about baby wearables and find that advertisements use a “discourse of risk and responsibilisation” to heighten parental anxiety over their babies’ health. This discourse positions parents as having sole responsibility for their babies’ health, safety and development, and constructs the digital tracking of babies’ bodies as a virtuous parental practice. Such neoliberal responsibilisation also creates a discursive bridge between goods previously used only in the health care system and everyday parenting practices, in line with the medicalisation of childhood. Moreover, the authors find that while such parenting practices and their representations contribute to normalise commercial and intimate surveillance practices, they also intersect with I-pistemology, where personal (mediated) knowledge replaces expert knowledge

A Curious Exchange between Marion Bernstein and Mary Inglis
No full textDiscusses a poetic exchange begun in 1875 in the columns of the Glasgow Weekly Mail in 1875 between two Victorian Scottish women poets, Marion Bernstein, author of Mirren\u27s Musings (1876), and Mary Inglis, author of Croonings (1876), in which the two poets offer alternative interpretations of the swallow as a symbol of fleeting friendship

On Wine, Globalization, and Glocalization : Long-Term Developments and Present-Day Controversies
No full textAlthough wine may not seem to be all that similar to football, the next chapter, by David Inglis of the University of Helsinki, shows just how similar the two are when it comes to the question of how globalization works within the Robertsonian frame. Beginning from the observation that wine in today’s world is fairly homogenized in terms of production and consumption (a narrow range of bottles, sizes, grapes, tastes, production techniques, perceptions of quality, etc.), the author points out that the homogeneity presents itself in terms of diversity or heterogeneity: wines are mostly ‘the same’ around the world, but they are produced, marketed, and consumed in terms of their difference, each wine’s uniqueness in terms of character and specific origin. Unlike the case for football, however, Inglis is also able to trace the history of wine throughout the phases of globalization – including the globalization demonstrated by historical imperial formations such as the Roman or the Chinese, empires of Steger’s Great Universalizing phase – and to show that it has always been so: wine is uniform or universal but understood, especially by elites, as inherently different or particular. As the author puts it, “wine has … for a very long time been a globalized and globalizing entity par excellence”. In more recent phases, Inglis shows that wine has served as an agent of European colonization in various parts of the world; and then in turn as a global form that various national and regional entities fill with reconstructed local content and thereby assert their particular identities in the global context. And much like local styles in football are actually globally circulating variations that are reconstructed as ‘local’ and particular to a club or country, so is wine universally particularized, especially, as the author demonstrates, through the idea of ‘terroir’: a word that embodies the notion of the local ‘soil’, the idea of uniqueness, as well as a particular – terroir is a French word first used by French winemakers – that has become universal. Terroir points to the fact that everyone is doing the same thing, but doing it differently. Here again, we have a concrete case of how globalization enacts itself through glocalization that constructs itself in relation. Even as we do the same thing differently, we communicate the differences, be they ever so small, as indicative of what each of us essentially is in relation to all the others.Peer reviewe
Fabricating the Truth About Bruno Latour(s)
No full textIn his lifetime, Bruno Latour (1947-2022) made many provocative and controversial arguments, such as about the nature of the practices of the natural sciences, and against standard social scientific forms of critique. Running through many of Latour’s interventions, aimed at what he took to be stultifying forms of academic and intellectual orthodoxy, was a concern with the nature of truth. Whether emphasising how science fabricates its ‘facts’, or in having to deal with uncomfortable similarities between that sort of analysis and the attacks on the allegedly fraudulent nature of climate science by climate sceptics, or in presenting the societal bases of standard forms of social critique as fictitious, Latour was constantly engaged in battles about and polemics concerning what counts as truths and truthfulness. In this paper, we consider the nature of some of the main contours of Latour’s battles about and with truths. We present an account of his practice in a critical light. Sometimes that involves stepping outside of the ‘anti-critical’ frame of reference he sought to construct and impose on how philosophy, sociology and other ways of thinking are done, but it also sometimes involves using that apparatus, while turning it against the intentions of the author. The purpose of this paper is not to try out-do Latour in the dismissal of intellectual positions other than one’s own. Instead, we focus on other types and levels of failure in the career-long endeavours and engagements with matters of truth of this curious but undoubtedly unavoidable figure, ‘Bruno Latour’. We end by speculating if more ‘Bruno Latours’ will be fabricated in the service of new modes of truth-creation in the future
Trissonchulus latus (Wieser, 1953) Inglis 1961
No full textTrissonchulus latus (Wieser, 1953) Inglis 1961 (Figs 5–7) Material examined. Ten females and ten males were examined from Diapterus rhombeus. Measurements. See Table 2. Description. Adults: Body 2.10–3.04 mm long. Cuticle smooth, lacking striations and ornamentations. Lip region with labial papillae and short cephalic setae, the labial and lateral cephalic ones single, the subdorsal and subventral ones double. Amphids well developed, pocket shaped with oval aperture occupying one third of lip region diameter. Stoma long and narrow, comprising two regions; anterior as long as wide with three refringent claw-like teeth, and posterior tubular, length five times lip region diameter. Pharynx more or less cylindrical, slightly expanded at its base. Nerve ring surrounding pharynx in its anterior part. Excretory pore not observed. Cardia poorly developed, conoid. Intestine not differentiated, generally in bad condition. Female: Body with sigmoid or C-shaped habitus. Reproductive system didelphic-amphidelphic; ovaries straight with one or two rows of oocytes; oviducts narrow, separated from uterus by a sphincter; uteri slightly swollen, length about 2–3 times corresponding body diameter, bearing well developed eggs, 177–192 x 69 –91 Μm. Rectum short, less than one anal body diameter. Tail conoid with rounded terminus. Spinneret aperture at tail tip. Male: General morphology similar to female, also with sigmoid habitus. Spicules short and broad, about 3 times longer than wide and slightly ventrad curved. Gubernaculum short, slightly less than the spicule length, distally more developed. Tail conoid, ventrally straight and dorsally convex, with rounded terminus. Precloacal papillae disposed in two pairs subventral rows. Adcloacal papilla at anterior cloacal lip. Postcloacal papillae disposed in two ventroanterior pairs, one subventral pair, three ventroposterior pairs, and one dorsal terminal pair. Spinneret aperture at tail tip. Distribution. T. latus was reported from Chile by Wieser (1953) in sublittoral soft sediment. This is its first report from Brazil (see Venekey et al. 2010). Remarks. The material examined is similar to the type material examined by Wieser (1953), but differs in the smaller size of males (2.09–2.83 mm vs 4.92 mm), smaller spicule (62–86 µm vs 137 µm) and tail slightly shorter (62–76 µm vs 90 µm). This could be intraspecific variability because only one male was previously described.Published as part of Abolafia, Joaquín, Ruiz-Cuenca, Alba N., Fernandes, Berenice M.
