    Hartley, J. 2019. Open Literacy: Helen of Troy, Richard Hoggart, Phonic Wars, Greta Thunberg. Cultural Science Journal, 11(1), cultural science pp. 89–103. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/csci.126 RESEARCH Open Literacy: Helen of Troy, Richard Hoggart, Phonic Wars, Greta Thunberg John Hartley Curtin University, AU [email protected] Social media and videogames are often blamed for individual behavioural delinquency, but rarely praised for cultural creativity, social innovation, or helping us to form new social groups or work through new ideas. Videogames are now a political football, both in the US (where they’re blamed for gun crime) and in China (where they’re blamed for childhood myopia). Every new media form has grown up surrounded by those wanting to control it. Popular literacy has never been free and open. Popular novels and the press; cinema and TV; and more recently digital and social media, have all attracted the wrath of incumbent commercial, government or social interests. But in the era of open access, open science, open knowledge, what about open literacy? Can it be extended to whole populations, across demographic borders, at global scale, for purposeless but nevertheless pedagogic play, and for social innovation? Or will it, like predecessor forms, be dismissed as a delinquent waste of time or commodified instrument for profit, power and mass persuasion? Keywords: open literacy; partisan politics; knowledge systems; myth; Helen of Troy; culture wars; Richard Hoggart; purposeless play; insurrection; Greta Thunberg ‘Resolutely curb indulging’ Social media and videogames are often blamed for individual behavioural delinquency, but rarely praised for cultural creativity, social innovation or helping us to form new social groups or work through new ideas.

Homer and Hesiod Abstract One of the most frustrating aspects of Homeric studies is that so little literary material outside the Homeric corpus itself survives to enhance our understanding of the cultural landscape of the period. Recent scholarship suggests that a large and diverse poetic tradition lay behind the figure we refer to as "Homer," but little of it survives. Indeed we have little continuous written Greek for another century. The one exception is Hesiod, who composed two extant poems, the Theogony and Works and Days, and possibly several others, including the Shield of Heracles and the Catalogue of Women. As we shall see, while Hesiodic poetry was not occupied specifically with heroic themes, it was part of the same formal tradition of epic, sharing with Homer key metrical, dialectal, and dictional features.

    Helen of Troy Limited Clarendon House Church Street Hamilton, HM CS Bermuda T 915 225 8000 F 915 225 8081 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders Answers to Investors’ Questions Below is the unanswered question we received during our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on August 26, 2020. Helen of Troy Limited does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any duty, to update any such statement whether as a result of new information, new developments or otherwise, except to the extent that disclosure may be required by law What steps is Helen of Troy taking to improve diversity on its Board of Directors? Thank you for the question. Diversity, inclusion, and equity are vitally important for a healthy, productive, and prosperous company and broader society. Our Board of Directors believes that having the diversity of experience and backgrounds most relevant to the Company’s goals and business is the primary determinant for Board makeup to ensure effective governance as Helen of Troy grows in size, complexity, and scope of business. We also believe the Board’s capability is improved by increasing gender and racial diversity more reflective of the consumers we serve. Over the past six years, the Board has diversified the experience and backgrounds of its directors by including four current or former CEOs and C-level leaders, increasing the range of business and geographic experiences represented, and increasing its gender diversity. Today, there are three sitting CEOs on the Board, and other key areas experience areas such as IT, Finance, risk management, and Legal are well represented. During those same years, the Board has increased the percentage of women on our Board from zero in fiscal 2014 to 25% following our recent 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

  • Selecting Flagships for Invertebrate Conservation
    Biodivers Conserv (2012) 21:1457–1476 DOI 10.1007/s10531-012-0257-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Selecting flagships for invertebrate conservation Maan Barua • Daniel J. Gurdak • Riyaz Akhtar Ahmed • Jatin Tamuly Received: 19 July 2011 / Accepted: 14 February 2012 / Published online: 4 March 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract Invertebrates have a low public profile and are seriously underrepresented in global conservation efforts. The promotion of flagship species is one way to generate interest in invertebrate conservation. Butterflies are frequently labeled invertebrate flag- ships, but clear definitions of the conservation actions they are meant to catalyze, and empirical assessments of their popularity amongst non-Western audiences are lacking. To improve the use of invertebrate flagships, we examine how butterflies compare with other taxa in terms of popularity. We then identify characteristics of individual species that are appealing and explore whether these may be used to derive a set of guidelines for selecting invertebrate flagships. We conducted questionnaire-based surveys amongst two target audiences: rural residents (n = 255) and tourists (n = 105) in northeast India. Inverte- brates that were aesthetically appealing, or those that provided material benefits or eco- logical services were liked. Butterflies were the most popular group for both audiences, followed by dragonflies, honeybees and earthworms. A combination of large size and bright colours led to high popularity of individual species, whilst butterflies with unique Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10531-012-0257-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Mattison NUMBER OF PAGES: xvi, 98. ii M.A. Thesis - Sean Williams; McMaster University Classics The topic of the thesis is epistemic certainty and uncertainty in Sophocles’ Ajax. Epistemic certainty refers to the quality of a character’s knowledge. I chose the topic because I was curious about the assessment of Ajax among scholars as a character who makes decisions purely on the basis of self-assertion in the pursuit of glory. The topic thus challenges what has become a point of near-consensus among scholars. This effort differs from other studies of the Ajax in that it acknowledges the existence of both paradigms of action and personality: based either on the reason or the will. It pursues this investigation while preserving the expanded scope of recent works on the Ajax to include its implications for the play’s marginal characters, particularly Tecmessa and the Chorus. To that end, the investigation encompasses the entirety of the play while still addressing a major aspect of criticism concerning Ajax himself.
