Summary
Few people would dispute the fact that Corbynism sought to bring about an ideological paradigm shift in British politics. In this respect, Corbynism represented a serious challenge to the neoliberal consensus that has developed in the UK since the 1980s. However, as this chapter will show, beyond this several ambiguities and disagreements remain over the type of ideology that Corbynism came to represent. What labels should we apply to best describe it? Did it represent something substantively new, or was it, as some commentators have suggested, merely harking back to an older style of Labour politics? Within this debate, Corbynism has been variously described as an instance of “left-populism”, as “socialism in the twenty-first century”, as “class-struggle social democracy”, as “Social Democracy in a New Left Garb”, as “democratic socialist”, as “reformism” but “transformative”, and, as “anti-modernizing” by some and a “concrete utopia” by others. Moreover, it has been denounced by some critics as being too radical in its aims and, by others, as not radical enough.
In our attempt here to unpack the character of Corbynite ideology, we begin by highlighting the multiple ways it has been interpreted by both its supporters and its opponents. In doing so, we tease out some key areas of disagreement between commentators. These include debates over the extent of its radicalism, how it relates to the wider family of left ideologies that emerged after the global financial crisis, whether it should be considered part of the contemporary “populist moment” (Mouffe 2018), and how this relates to its democratic socialism. We then use Freeden's (1996, 2003) popular understanding of ideologies to map the character of Corbynism. In doing so, we argue that, although it is possible to identify core elements of Corbynism as a political project, there remained a sufficient amount of ideological ambiguity to give it a “catch-all” appeal within the broad family of left politics. This “leftist catch-allism”, as we refer to it here, meant that Corbynism was able to mobilize a plurality of activists drawn from different leftist traditions. It also goes some way towards explaining the plurality of interpretations that have emerged within the existing literature.

The role of populism in mobilising support for Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union has been well noted. But a key feature of populist politics – the use of religious discourses – has been largely overlooked. This article addresses this gap by exploring the way in which the Leave campaign framed Brexit in quasi-religious and mythological terms. Three core themes are identified: (1) that the British ‘people’ had a unique role to play in global affairs; (2) that the sanctity of this special status was threatened by elites and migrants; (3) that the referendum gave voice to the sacred ‘will of the people’. These narratives were underpinned by a strategic discourse centring on claims that EU membership was exacerbating a crisis in health and social care. This myth was encapsulated by the so-called ‘Brexit bus’ campaign.

Wright’s “adaptive landscape” has been influential in evolutionary thinking but controversial, especially because the landscape that organisms encounter is altered by the evolutionary process itself and the effects organisms have on their environments. Lewontin offered a mathematical heuristic describing the coupling of niche construction and adaptive evolution. Here, we propose a “dual landscape” model to view these relationships. Our model represents change as simultaneous movement on two landscapes, each a function of phenotype and environment. This model clarifies the evolutionary feedback generated by niche construction. We relate our model to Lewontin’s niche construction equations and illustrate it with three examples.

Black widows and redbacks are binary systems consisting of a millisecond pulsar in a close binary with a companion having matter driven off of its surface by the pulsar wind. X-rays due to an intrabinary shock have been observed from many of these systems, as well as orbital variations in the optical emission from the companion due to heating and tidal distortion. We have been systematically studying these systems in radio, optical and X-rays. Here we will present an overview of X-ray and optical studies of these systems, including new XMM-Newton and NuStar data obtained from several of them, along with new optical photometry.

Lipid metabolism and other biochemical responses to alachlor [2-chloro-2’,6’-dimethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide] and the protectant flurazole [2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-5-thiazolecarboxylic acid, (phenylmethyl ester)] in germinated grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. ‘MFA GS 301’] were studied. Treatments included flurazole, applied to grain sorghum seed at 2.5 g ai/kg, alachlor at 8.2 × 10−6 M, and alachlor plus flurazole at these rates. Treatments did not alter total lipid synthesis or fatty acid composition. Seeds that germinated for 48 h in media containing alachlor or alachlor plus flurazole had a greater triglyceride:phospholipid ratio than those treated with flurazole or the control seeds, indicating that alachlor plus flurazole retarded catabolism of storage lipid. Oxygen consumption of seeds was reduced after the herbicide plus protectant treatment. Oxidation of 14C-pyruvate to CO2 was inhibited by alachlor and alachlor plus flurazole treatments, but not by flurazole alone.

Stephanie Newell & Onookome Okome (eds),
Popular Culture in Africa: The episteme of the everyday
New York & London: Routledge, Taylor & Francis, 2014
ISBN 9280415532921 (hbk) $140
Any book about popular culture in Africa is likely to find some orientation from Karin Barber's seminal essays: ‘Popular Arts in Africa’ (1987) and ‘Views from the Field’ (1997). The editors of Popular Culture in Africahave done more than touch base with these two important essays, they have persuaded her to write a densely argued seven page Foreword in which she revisits and sometimes corrects her earlier ideas. The editors’ Introduction reflects their allegiance to Barber's founding concepts, and almost every one of the fifteen articles in the book cites Barber, usually in reverential mode. The book is a Festschrift in all but name.
Barber's ‘scholarly architecture’, as Newell and Okome describe her work, derives to some extent from Raymond Williams's categorization of British culture into residual, dominant and emergent culture, which in Barber's 1987 essay becomes transmuted into ‘traditional, elite and popular’, although by 2014 she regrets this simplification, preferring to rely on more complex, overlapping categories.
Much of the book is devoted to arguments about the tendency for commentators to apply binary terminology, such as traditional/modern, oral/literate and local/global. The various authors, anxious to deconstruct false antinomies, emphasize simultaneous inclusion and exclusion. Barber herself gives the example of Tanzanian Hip Hop, in which ‘gangsta’ costumes seem to exclude the genre from mainstream society, while the lyrics, for the most part, promote healthy lifestyles.
After the editors’ Introduction Popular Culture in Africais divided into four parts: I Theoretical Overviews; II Gender and Sexuality; III The Place of Humor; and IV Popular Discourses of the Streets.
The editors’ overview is a very useful update of some arguments which emerged from Barber's earlier essays. Newell and Okome try to map the class and ethnic variables which are able to describe the literate, but to a large extent subaltern, groups who are most responsible for the creation of popular arts. These include ‘sub-elites, emergent elites, local intellectuals, urban intellectuals, cultural brokers and local cosmopolitans’. The last term has given rise to a common colloquial construct: ‘Afropolitan’.

Summary
Introduction
This chapter approaches the concept of depoliticisation from a broadly Foucauldian perspective. It aims to re-conceptualise depoliticisation as central to the rolling out of new forms of power and regulation associated with neo-liberal governmentality. In doing so, our aim is to synergise the available scholarship on neo-liberal governmentality and depoliticisation to formulate an analytical framework which, we believe, offers a more robust understanding of the relationship between politicisation, depoliticisation and contemporary rationalities of government. Hitherto, apart from a couple of exceptions (Foster, 2008; Tosa, 2009; Kerr et al, 2011; Oksala, 2011; Byrne et al, 2012), the literatures on depoliticisation and neo-liberal governmentality have remained distinct from one another despite the fact that they are discussing different aspects of the same political project and therefore work in a complementary fashion.
To demonstrate the synergy between both concepts this chapter is separated as follows. The first two sections discuss some of the potential problems thrown up by the scholarship on depoliticisation (Burnham, 2002, 2007, 2011; Flinders and Buller, 2005, 2006a, 2006b; Flinders, 2008, Hay, 2007; Jenkins, 2010; Kettell, 2008; Wood and Flinders, 2014, 151–70). We argue that the relationship between depoliticisation is often characterised, misleadingly, as producing a contraction of both government and the space within which politics is played out. Sections three and four review the work on neo-liberal governmentality (Lemke, 2001, 2002; Rose, 1996; Rose and Miller, [1992] 2010; Rose et al, 2006), and recent chapters which have used the term depoliticisation, to highlight a potential, yet underdeveloped, synergy with the scholarship on governmentality (Oksala, 2011; Tosa, 2009). Section five then attempts, tentatively, to provide a re-conceptualisation of the relationship between politicisation, depoliticisation and neo-liberal governmental rationality, based on a Foucauldian reading of power and contemporary governance. Overall, we argue that depoliticisation creates the ostensible façade of rolling back the state, while governmentality allows the insidious rolling forward of the state's agenda through the buying in (or buying off) of other organisations or the normalising of populations to be good neo-liberal citizens. Thus, the argument presented here is that the guise of ‘rolling back’ the state, bound up in discourses of neo-liberal governance, marks an era whereby state intervention has actually never been so pervasive. However, the pervasion of state intervention is rendered covert through the operation of both depoliticisation and governmentality.

Summary
Natasha Distiller writes with the urgency of a polemicist and, contradictorily, the coolness of a cultural theorist. ‘Looking at Shakespeare in South African literary history’, she argues, ‘is one way to look afresh at our cultural politics, particularly in the current context where racial identities are being hardened and simplified’ (143). She places Shakespeare at the heart of a fierce and far-from-resolved debate about ‘English’, ‘Englishness’ and ‘English Literature’ in a country bent on identifying itself afresh, but she keeps in focus South African writers (Plaatje, Themba, Modisane, Nkosi, Mphahlele) and politicians (Malema, Mbeki, Zuma). Given particular prominence are her references to Kapano Matlwa's novel, Coconut (2007).
The coconut – ‘black outside and white inside’ – is an easily maligned figure in post-colonial countries, and part of Distiller's project is to assert the viability of ‘coconuttiness’ in post-apartheid South Africa: ‘the African coconut is both/and, both Englished and transforming of Englishness. And this is a legitimate South African identity’ (45). Without a recognition of its complex history, South Africa will find itself a post-colonial victim of the ‘toxic politics of the binary formation’ (99). There is much more than this in the supple arguments deployed in this book, a painstakingly articulated essay on cultural politics. Or, to be more accurate, a collection of six related essays on the cultural politics of post-apartheid and post-Mbeki (‘the coconut president’ – [126]) South Africa.

Objective
To investigate whether children in households involved in a participatory agriculture and nutrition intervention had improved growth compared to children in matched comparable households and whether the level of involvement and length of time in the project had an effect on child growth.
DesignA prospective quasi-experimental study comparing baseline and follow-up data in ‘intervention’ villages with matched subjects in ‘comparison’ villages. Mixed model analyses were conducted on standardized child growth scores (weight- and height-for-age Z-scores), controlling for child age and testing for effects of length of time and intensity of village involvement in the intervention.
SettingA participatory agriculture and nutrition project (the Soils, Food and Healthy Communities (SFHC) project) was initiated by Ekwendeni Hospital aimed at improving child nutritional status with smallholder farmers in a rural area in northern Malawi. Agricultural interventions involved intercropping legumes and visits from farmer researchers, while nutrition education involved home visits and group meetings.
SubjectsParticipants in intervention villages were self-selected, and control participants were matched by age and household food security status of the child. Over a 6-year period, nine surveys were conducted, taking 3838 height and weight measures of children under the age of 3 years.
ResultsThere was an improvement over initial conditions of up to 0·6 in weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ; from −0·4 (sd 0·5) to 0·3 (sd 0·4)) for children in the longest involved villages, and an improvement over initial conditions of 0·8 in WAZ for children in the most intensely involved villages (from −0·6 (sd 0·4) to 0·2 (sd 0·4)).
ConclusionsLong-term efforts to improve child nutrition through participatory agricultural interventions had a significant effect on child growth.

The future of mandatory retirement is at least partly driven by changing demographics. In Canada, these demographics include slowing population growth, rapid aging, declining rates of labour force participation, and slowing labour force growth. After reviewing the demographic trends and considering alternate scenarios in labour force participation, we consider the determinants of early departures from the labour force and suggest scenarios that might reverse these trends. With a decline in labour force entrants, delays in early life transitions, and possible reductions in retirement benefits, a trend to retire later would bring mandatory retirement into question.

The recent drive within the UK National Health Service to improve psychosocial care for people with mental illness is both understandable and welcome: evidence-based psychological and social interventions are extremely important in managing psychiatric illness. Nevertheless, the accompanying downgrading of medical aspects of care has resulted in services that often are better suited to offering non-specific psychosocial support, rather than thorough, broad-based diagnostic assessment leading to specific treatments to optimise well-being and functioning. In part, these changes have been politically driven, but they could not have occurred without the collusion, or at least the acquiescence, of psychiatrists. This creeping devaluation of medicine disadvantages patients and is very damaging to both the standing and the understanding of psychiatry in the minds of the public, fellow professionals and the medical students who will be responsible for the specialty's future. On the 200th birthday of psychiatry, it is fitting to reconsider the specialty's core values and renew efforts to use psychiatric skills for the maximum benefit of patients

Summary
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the common diagnostic cause of the upper motor neurone (UMN) syndrome in childhood, a syndrome characterised by positive features and negative features. In CP, spasticity has both neurophysiological and musculoskeletal components. While traditional clinical evaluation of spasticity include symptoms and signs together with examination of muscle tone, range of movement (ROM), and functional impact, assessment also include validated quantitative and qualitative instruments. Oral medications affect muscles involved to varying degrees of spasticity, including both the target muscles and those for which loss of tone and/or function is undesirable. Combination treatment, such as botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) or orthopaedic surgery, physical therapy and oral baclofen are used in clinical practice with anecdotal benefit, but the results of further scientific studies to prove the extra benefit are awaited. While selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) reduces spasticity, it has no effect on selective motor control (SMC), balance or fixed deformities.

‘The Irish need to be governed and controlled as well as I excited.’ So wrote Daniel Wilson, a young English clergyman later to be bishop of Calcutta, after visiting Armagh in June 1814 to discuss with local clergy the possibility of setting up a branch of the Church Missionary Society. An Irish (Hibernian) Church Missionary Society, he argued, would
… have a tendency both to revive and regulate the piety of members of the Church, fostering whatever is holy and energetic, and yet directing both in … orderly submission to the Church …

It is surely ironic that while the ‘spoiliation’ of the Irish Church in 1833 provided the initial rallying cry for the Oxford Movement, neither Tractarian spirituality, theology nor its later liturgical innovations ever really took any serious hold on that Church. It is perhaps even more paradoxical to note that though Alexander Knox, one of the forerunners of the movement was a lay member of the Church of Ireland, other sons of that Church, notably Robert Dolling, the notorious ritualist slum-priest; Dowden, the high-church bishop of Edinburgh; and Tyrell, the Catholic modernist, all made their careers outside Ireland. As Bishop Alexander was to comment, perhaps with the more colourful ritualists like Dolling in mind, the Church of Ireland had never to bear the cost of discovering that the liturgy had ‘lips of fire’; though perhaps that is not quite accurate, for, as I hope to show, fear of the heat from those ‘lips of fire’ was to be a major disruptive influence in the life of the Established, and disestablished Church in Ulster.
