Corporate Censorship

A chapter in a book about censorship in the global contemporary art world edited by Roisin Kennedy, University College Dublin, and Rhiann Coulter, Trinity College Dublin, (to be) published by IB Tauris in 2018, this book was the product of a panel at the Association of Art Historians annual conference. The chapter focuses solely on London so as to avoid potentially misleading and generalised statements about the censorship and contemporary art more globally. London serves as a case study of the specific pressures under which artists practice under neoliberalism and the often-unconscious internalisation of neoliberal values by contemporary artists, including socially-engaged practitioners. The article defines censorship, distinguishing it from the ordinary operations of the art world to include and exclude, and also distinguishing it from the ordinary operations of markets, which reduce diversity in order to rationalise. Both of these have been confused with instances of censorship.Peer reviewe

Questions of Belonging

© 2019 the author(s).‘Questions of Belonging’ is a chapter in a peer-reviewed edited volume, Matters of Belonging: Ethnographic Museums in a Changing Europe, (Eds Modest, Thomas, Prilic and Augustat, Sidestone 2019), which has across its front and back covers an artwork by me, called ‘Europe the Game’ (2003-2019 ongoing). On the basis of this artwork, and 'Belonging', an audio artwork series of 12 x 10min (approx) podcasts, I was invited to write this chapter. Both artworks explore the question of belonging, one from the perspective of Europeanness and inclusion, and the other from the perspective of indigenous artefacts made elsewhere that are in Europe because of colonial contact. Both the artworks explore questions of belonging and this chapter takes the knowledge embodied in the artworks further by juxtaposing both with my own personal narrative.Peer reviewe

Human infection with Gongylonema pulchrum

A 43 year old woman developed a painful tumor at the left buccal mucosa. Following local anti-inflammatory treatment a 35 mm long, living female adult worm of Gongylonema pulchrum was extracted from the affected side. No further treatment was needed and recovery was complete 5 days after extraction. Infection had occurred possibly 6 weeks before in Hungary with ingestion of contaminated water from an open draw well. Although commonly occurring as parasitic infection of domestic cattle and other vertebrates, gongylonemiasis is very rare in humans. Only 48 cases have been described in the literature since 1864. Life cycle and pathology of G. pulchrum are discussed

The Mycetophagidae of the Maltese Islands (Coleoptera)

In the present work, seven species of Mycetophagidae have been confirmed as occurring in Malta. Of these, two represent new records for this territory namely Berginus tamarisci and Typhaeola maculata. Since very little original collecting data exists for most of the other records for Malta, such data is provided for all species, with notes on global distribution and other relevant information.peer-reviewe
