Dark Aesthete: Gothic Elements in the Fiction of Walter Pater by Geoffrey Johnston Sadock

“…It should now be acknowledged that he is also a master of the Gothic, whose synthesis of the beautiful and the horrific invests his fiction with a delayed but unforgettable urgency.After reviewing Pater's status in recent scholarship and defining ‘Gothic,’ ‘Dark Aesthete’ considers the kinds and instances of Gothic writing in his short stories, Marius the Epicurean, and unfinished novel Gaston de Latour (1889, revised text 1995). The essay elucidates the absent, ghost-like father-surrogate whose ‘half-hostile’ attitude leads to the tragic death or suffering of a blameless son, thereby providing the intersection of autobiography and Gothic literary tradition in these texts.…”

Towards an anthropology of youth in Africa by Anne-Marie Peatrik

“…Deconstructing the “young people” category in Africa, in order to place its study on new foundations: such is the aim of this anthropological essay. Understood through its emergence and its historical establishment, particularly during the sequences of events that followed decolonisation, the “young person” category is separated out from the tangle of connected concepts (cadet social, junior, young generation), enriched with components of its construction that have gone unnoticed (calendar age, demographic and political category), explored taking account of the uncertainty surrounding the delimitations and characterisations of that phase of human development. …”

Music’s Vibratory Enchantments and Epistemic Injustices. Reflecting on Thirty Years of Feminist Thought in Music Theory by Judy Lochhead

“…These new perspectives have, in part, resulted in an increased diversity in the demographics of musicology, but there have not been changes of sufficient significance in either content or methodology in North American music theory and the demographics of music theory remain dominated by white, male practitioners. In this short essay, I propose two ways that music-theoretical practice can be transformed in order to overcome the “epistemic injustices” of past work in music theory. …”

No ordinary rules. More on organizational behaviour: a discussion on forms and hibrydisms of post-bureaucratic organizations by Pierfranco Malizia

“…Assuming what has been said above, then, it follows (and this is the sense of this essay) that complex organizations, in as much as they are sociocultural (sub)systems, cannot be considered, perhaps today more than in the past, systems impervious to the sociocultural world of which they are a part, or in other words, it is not possible to speak of a culture of organizations as if it were a unique, coherent system of models and values: the plurality of cultural influences present in the highly differentiated contemporary societies is reflected also on the situations inside these organizations.…”
