Controversies in the History of the Radiation Reaction problem in General Relativity

This paper examines the historical controversy over whether gravitationally bound systems, such as binary stars, experienced orbital damping due to the emission of gravitational radiation, focusing especially on the period of the 1950s, but also discussing the work of Einstein and Rosen in the 1930s on cylindrical gravitational waves and the later quadrupole formula controversy.Comment: 33 pages, Late

The American legacy of "Prufrock"

The essay cluster brings together leading Eliot and modernist scholars to commemorate the centenary of the publication of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” Together, they reexamine the circumstances surrounding the poem’s original publication, recontextualize its allusions, and reconstruct its reception over the past century. Patterson examines the American roots of Eliot’s ironic love song, often considered through the lenses of European poetry and philosophy. Dickey returns to the poem’s early reception to challenge the now established narrative that “Prufrock” shocked early readers, showing how often his contemporaries associated the poem with Decadent or Aesthetic precedents. Ricks returns to the poem’s first publication in Poetry Magazine to understand how the poem’s first readers would have encountered the text and how this context would have mediated the reader’s experience. Cuda situates Eliot’s poem vis-à-vis current discourses on late modernism and demonstrates how lateness and belatedness feature centrally in the poem. Finally, Schuchard examines Eliot’s literary and religious allusions, showing that his allusive method is in full force even in his first poetic masterpiece

Haunting History: Women, Catholicism, and the Writing of National History in Sophia Lee's 'The Recess'

This chapter explores strategies of re-writing British history in The Recess, with particular attention to the ways in which hagiography and historiography shape responses to the nation’s past. The assumption of Catholicism as Britain’s foreign ‘other’ ignores the experiences of British Catholics and the tenacity of history and tradition that does not necessarily obey political or legislative edicts. Lee’s adaptation of British history for the purposes of her late eighteenth-century audience is apparent in some respects and subtle in others. Catholicism is explicitly condemned but is not expelled from the narrative; it enables particular discourses associated with haunting and spectrality that the ‘Age of Reasons’ sought to distance. Linked with primitivism, superstition, and political tyranny, Catholicism represents antithesis of the kind of individual and collective freedom that increasingly defined the desired ‘Britain’. The Recess returns to the site of Protestant Britain’s mythological origin and produces possible strategies of mourning and remembering, linking together Britain’s abandoned Catholic heritage and women’s experiences of cultural abandonment with hagiographic and historiographic strategies of narrating national history

New frequencies from planet Perth: Punk rock and Western Australia's sesquicentenary celebrations

Dislocated by both land and sea, Perth’s punk scene would nonetheless play a pivotal role in the development and global dissemination of punk rock in the 1970s. Set against the traditionalist context of Western Australia’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 1979, this study readdresses the birth of WA’s punk counterculture and its uneasy relationship with the State’s mainstream cultural narrative, as well as the genre’s enduring cultural legacy in Western Australia
