Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2023Imagining the Irish child
Discourses of childhood in Irish Anglican writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
by Jarlath Killeen
This book examines the ways in which ideas about children, childhood and Ireland changed together in Irish Protestant writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It focuses on different varieties of the child found in the work of a range of Irish Protestant writers, theologians, philosophers, educationalists, politicians and parents from the early seventeenth century up to the outbreak of the 1798 Rebellion. The book is structured around a detailed examination of six 'versions' of the child: the evil child, the vulnerable/innocent child, the political child, the believing child, the enlightened child, and the freakish child. It traces these versions across a wide range of genres (fiction, sermons, political pamphlets, letters, educational treatises, histories, catechisms and children's bibles), showing how concepts of childhood related to debates about Irish nationality, politics and history across these two centuries.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Child, nation, race and empire
Child rescue discourse, England, Canada and Australia, 1850–1915
by Margot Hillel, Shurlee Swain, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
Child, nation, race and empire is an innovative, inter-disciplinary, cross cultural study that contributes to understandings of both contemporary child welfare practices and the complex dynamics of empire. It analyses the construction and transmission of nineteenth-century British child rescue ideology. Locating the origins of contemporary practice in the publications of the prominent English Child rescuers, Dr Barnardo, Thomas Bowman Stephenson, Benjamin Waugh, Edward de Montjoie Rudolf and their colonial disciples and literature written for children, it shows how the vulnerable body of the child at risk came to be reconstituted as central to the survival of nation, race and empire. Yet, as the shocking testimony before the many official enquiries into the past treatment of children in out-of-home 'care' held in Britain, Ireland, Australia and Canada make clear, there was no guarantee that the rescued child would be protected from further harm.

2021Paediatric Dose Tables
The dosage of drugs prescribed by paediatricians
by Linda Jaffan-Kolb and Harald Erdmann. Founded by Gustaf-Adolf von Harnack and Folker Janssen
The selection of a drug as well as the determination of the appropriate dosage form and the correct dosage, are two of the difficult tasks faced by a physician. This is particularly the case in paediatrics, where drugs are very often used outside of their licensed indications and hence no dosage recommendations are available. This standard work provides the reliable information that is needed: - Dosages of more than 300 medicines - Differentiation according to age and weight - Details of paediatric licensing - Off-label dosages according to the literature and experience - Contraindications and frequency of undesirable effects. Numerous active substances have been newly included in this 16th edition. Essential for physicians and also indispensable for pharmacists when checking prescriptions for plausibility.

FictionWalker
by J.J. Rose
During a Covid lockdown, “Walker. I”, an apparently normal man, mid-fifties, decides to become insane. He is unsure about what this means or even why he feels the need to do this. But, it is driven by his need to connect, emphasized by Covid isolation. And, perhaps his relationship with “the author” has something to do with it. He starts to walk. Somewhere. On his journey, we meet many people, both of Walker’s contemporary time and place and of others. Each is able to inform the protagonist’s narrative and his attempts to unravel the points of connection that exist between humans, other living beings and inanimate objects. An important aspect of Walker’s mindset is what he calls his “Theory of Atomic Memory.” This idea draws broadly from the quantum theory concept of valency, the mysterious interconnectivity of the atoms from which all matter is built, including, of course, all living things, and the fact that atoms, depending on their type, can “live” long lives, perhaps many billions of years. Do they hold a memory of those lives, carrying them into other lives? His progression into, and the evolution of, his theory provides not only a means of tracking Walker’s narrative, but is also channeled through his connections with the people he ‘meets’ both physically and along the invisible pathways of covalency. The setting is during the COVID-19 shutdown, in Australia, over a 24 hour period. The narrative goes around the world, however, and crosses time and location. The narrative, as much metaphysical as physical, moves with Walker as he himself undertakes his exploration. The narrative structure is overlaid with an unsolved nineteenth century murder, which connects the dots and provides a thriller tone. The structure is designed so that Walker’s ‘real time’ story, mapped out over a single day, is linked to the stories of those to whom, as we discover, he is ethereally – atomically - connected. Connections are subtly, and sometimes unknowingly (to Walker) made, pulling Walker into contact with other lives and experiences beyond the constraints of his own time and place, including side journeys into Gnosticism, philosophy and quantum science. The conclusion reaches a point where his thoughts become coherent and meaningful, perhaps giving him the missing sense of himself and a place he can call “home” for the first time. He reaches a very sane outcome: we are all just trying to find our way home. The novel explores themes such as connection, memory and identity and traces the inner narratives that compete to tell the stories of our respective lives, even as we live them. The MS is currently at third draft stage, approx., 50,000 words.

The ArtsOctober 2016Love and authority in the work of Paula Rego
Narrating the family romance
by Ruth Rosengarten
Rosengarten explores the narrative operations of Rego's work by mobilising both psychoanalytic theory and social history. She confronts, as case studies, three complex figure paintings from different moments in Rego's oeuvre: The Policeman's Daughter (1987), The Interrogator's Garden (2000), and The First Mass in Brazil (1993). The content of the three specimen paintings links them to the political context of the Estado Novo, the fascist-inspired regime that dominated Rego's childhood. Plotting links between the spheres of the political and the personal, Rosengarten throws light on the complex intertwining of state power and parental authority in Rego's work, focusing on the "labour of socialisation and resistance" that Rego's work evinces in relation to the Freudian model of the family romance. Rosengarten unveils the political context of Portugal under Salazar, and the workings of colonial fantasy, Catholic ideology and gender construction. In prodding the inalienable link between love and authority, this study offers a reading of Rego's work that interrogates, rather than subverts, the Oedipal model structuring the patriarchal family.
