Dilemmas of memory: The mind is not a tape recorder

The dynamics of memory are broadly distributed across relationships, institutions, material affordances and, of course, discursive practices. The Chancellor's memory is an attempt to show how the subject matter parsed by cognitive psychology can be lifted wholesale into a discursive approach. Discursive Psychology has its roots in the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge, a discipline that was acutely aware of the vacuous nature of claims to systematicity, rigor, and most notoriously replication. Dave Middleton's early work shared a concern with the linguistic steering of children's activities, having been part of the group that refined the experimental demonstration of scaffolding in parent child interactions. These studies were critical to a move in developmental psychology of placing cognitive development in a sociocultural context. Edwards and Goodwin argue that lexical development in children is poorly grasped when it is treated in terms of gradual conceptual understanding, because this implies that thinking precedes doing

Trust and Community: The Common Interest Community as Metaphor and Paradox

This Article explores the power of trust to shape where we live and how we live. It aims to provide a new set of first principles to reshape the common interest community (CIC) paradigm, so that the promise of social trust, rather than control and punishment, can enhance the cultural and economic success of this Goliath of residential living

[MeNC5H5]2[TCNE]2 (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene). Single crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction characterization of an exceptionally long 2.8 Å C-C bond

Journal ArticleThe reaction of N-methylpyridinium iodide, Mepy+I-, and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) forms [Mepy]2[TCNE]2, which possesses [TCNE]2 2' with an intradimer C-C bond distance of 2.806(1)Å at 50 K from X-ray diffraction, and 2.801(4)Å at 50 K from neutron diffraction. In the IR it exhibits nChN absorptions at 2191, 2174, 2169, 2163 and a nCC absorption at 1366 cm-1, with UV/Vis absorption bands at 26,880 and 18,520 cm-1. Analysis of the cation-hydrogen to [TCNE]2 2- interactions do not provide evidence that the cation stabilizes formation of the [TCNE]2 2- dimer, which is stabilized by the intradimer 2e--4 center C-C bonding interaction

Remembering 7/7: The collective shaping of survivors’ personal memories of the 2005 London bombing

On 7th July 2005, four explosive devices exploded in central London, killing 52 people and injuring hundreds of others. The devices were carried in rucksacks onto the London Underground train network by four young British men (Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Germaine Lindsay and Hasib Hussain). All four were also killed during the blasts. Three of the devices were detonated within a minute of each other on trains in tunnels between underground stations around 08.50. The fourth was set off an hour later by Hussain on a bus in Tavistock Square; he had apparently been forced to change his plans due to train delays. The bombings had an immediate impact, with nonstop news coverage and images of the scenes being immediately relayed as the nature of the events gradually emerged over the course of the day (see Lorenzo-Dus & Bryan 2011). In the following weeks of heightened security and anxiety, there was a second round of bombings on 21st July and a police shooting at Stockwell Underground Station, in which Brazilian national Jean Charles de Menezes died. Plain-clothed police had misidentified him as one of the 21/7 bombers
