Australian Aboriginal author Alexis Wright contends that place is not separate and isolated unto itself but instead part of a whole environment. While Carpentaria Country both end beginning, then, where character reader can find hope in the underlying bond between story, person, place, it also be explored as national, extended literary place. Structurally bracketed by cyclones, story about land...

Although my essay was eventually accepted and published, I was perplexed by these comments. Having spent more than 30 years on the faculty of a medical school’s department of rehabilitation medicine and now holding the rank of full professor, I felt I knew something about rehabilitation, and I was certainly aware of the “disability as a social construction” trope. My objection to the reviewer’s...

In this article I argue that the Harry Potter novels constitute a Gothic narrative about homoerotic child abuse. The various confrontations between Harry and the Dark Lord are interpreted as representing the unavoidable encounter with what Ruth Bienstock Anolik has defined as ‘the sexual Other’ infiltrating the Self in Gothic texts. Specifically, I examine the re-enactment of trauma in the narr...

The architectural metaphor has played an important role in many aspects of IS/ICT since the 1970s. One key influence in this has been Zachman’s ISA, first introduced in 1987. This is now a pivotal aspect of the domain, but it has developed in a lop-sided fashion with the structural features of the architectural trope effacing the cognitive ones. This paper focuses attention back on the neglec...

Anatomical penises may exist, but as pre-operative transgendered women also have anatomical penises, the penis vis-à-vis maleness is an incoherent construct. We argue that the conceptual penis is better understood not as an anatomical organ but as a social construct isomorphic to performative toxic masculinity. Through detailed poststructuralist discursive criticism and the example of climate c...

In this paper we present and compare two different approaches to the notion of “relational role” and connected issues. Both approaches are based on the introduction of the notion of “qua-individual” and on the reification of relations. We use a classical problem in the literature on roles, namely the counting problem, as testbed, and we show how the two approaches deal with it in a similar way....

The major goal of root canal treatment is to remove irritants from the root canal system, to obturate the cleaned and shaped root canals, and to prevent recontamination. Ray and Trope proposed that coronal microleakage may be a major cause of endodontic failure. Many previous studies have examined that coronal leakage might occur, even in well obturated root canals. One of the most important co...

Derek Duggan In vivo microleakage evaluation of two root-filling materials in teeth without a coronal seal (Under the direction of Dr. Martin Trope) Two carrier-based materials were compared to assess their resistance to coronal microleakage in a dog model when no coronal seal was present. Histologic evidence of inflammation and infection were the outcome parameters used. Experimental teeth wer...
