Constructing Normality: Social Representations, Symbolic Power and the Vague Legal Concept of Public Order

open access: yesJournal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the vague legal concept of public order as a site where social meaning, symbolic power and legal authority intersect. Drawing on social representations theory and Pierre Bourdieu's concept of symbolic power, it argues that public order functions not merely as a legal concept but as an institutional mechanism through which ...

‘Who is the Gael who Would Not Weep?’: The Book of the O'Conor Don, Fearghal Óg Mac an Bhaird, and Late Bardic Poetry of Exile

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 764-780, September 2026.
Abstract This article examines how late bardic poetry transforms the condition of exile into a literary mode that reimagines community and tradition. I argue that poetry of lament, blessing and devotion articulates a broader literary consciousness that anticipates modern notions of a national consciousness. The compilation of bardic verse in manuscript

Iron Isotopes Reveal Fe Export Driven by Change of Tropical Weathering Regime

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Unraveling paleoenvironmental signals recorded in laterites is crucial for quantifying weathering‐driven elemental fluxes at the Earth's surface. New stable iron isotope data (δ56Fe), combined with (U‐Th)/He ages in Fe‐oxides from a ferruginous duricrust from French Guiana, reveal the response of Fe hosted in laterite to past changes in ...

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

The fossils of Sensation

open access: yes, 2014
THIS essay proposes a relation between contemporary painting and Manuel DeLanda’s Deleuzian inspired materialist ontology. However, my approach does not negotiate direct relations with contemporary painting, instead seeks to investigate structure-generating processes that are common to both non-human geological ...
