From Warriors to Soldiers: Militarizing Fijian Identity during the Second World War
ABSTRACT During the Second World War, colonial conceptions of Indigenous Fijians as naturally warlike were reframed and deployed in a modern military context in ways that were shaped by diverse British and Fijian aims.
Jump! A New Philosophy for Conquering Procrastination
If the test of a good book is how much you find yourself talking about it, this new offering from the philosopher Simon May passes with flying colours. It starts with the claim that a lot of people, if asked whether they know what they want to do with their lives, would say yes. Yet if they were then asked whether they are working their way systematically towards achieving it, they would feel forced to say no.
Rewriting romance | Carrie Jenkins
Romantic love is still put on a pedestal as the exemplar of relationships. This is damaging not only to individuals but to society at large. It discriminates against people who find deep love in non-traditional relationships, it weakens our sense of connection to those beyond our romantic partners. What we need is more and different stories about what love might look like, argues Carrie Jenkins.
On the Sixth Day of Christmas: Yuletide with PG Wodehouse
As the Christmas Octave continues, Simon May takes an affectionate ecumenical look at Plum Wodehouse’s treatment of the numerous Anglican clergymen with which Bertie Wooster’s world seemed to be filled. In light of the recent Census it gives pause for thought, as the Church of England’s retreat from its parishes continues. A charming 1930 short story by PG Wodehouse, “Jeeves and the Yuletide Spirit”, contains much traditional English Christmas atmosphere.
The changing face of love | Simon May
Each era is defined by what it takes to be the supreme object of love. For a long time in the Western world the romantic lover has been that object. But parental love towards the child is now becoming the archetypal love, argues Simon May. What we in the Western world, or at least in much of Europe and North America, take to be the supreme object of love has been undergoing a historic change since about the middle of the nineteenth century.
Emergenza gattini | Il potere inquietante delle cose carine - Linkiesta.it
Il Cute sta colonizzando il nostro mondo. Ma perché? E perché in modo tanto esplosivo proprio nella nostra epoca? Potremmo pensare che il Cute sia talmente trito da non meritare la nostra attenzione e che quindi non costituisca un argomento degno di indagine. Oppure che sia talmente perverso, per la stereotipata vulnerabilità che impone ai suoi oggetti, forse anche con un certo compiacimento, da meritare poco più del nostro disprezzo.

Is our religion of love doing more harm than good?
One of the strange things about asking the question ‘what is love?’ today is that many people in the Western world are uncomfortable even with the attempt to define it. A philosophy of love, according to this view, is a contradiction in terms. For love is a matter of feeling, not thought. It can’t be defined; or, if it can be defined, then the very attempt to do so ends up denaturing precisely what we are trying to understand. At the same time, talk of love is obviously everywhere.
Problems getting TV sound out of AV receiver speakers, via HDMI ARC ...
