Stevenson, Gabrielle Brace, and Nicholas Stevenson. "Texture: Faking the physical." Journal of Illustration 6, no. 1 (August 1, 2019): 57–76. http://dx.doi.org/10.1386/jill_00004_1.

Abstract:
Contemporary illustration is infatuated with texture. The imperfections of analogue processes and signs of physical decay, which were once incidental, or even irritating, are now highly sought after and frequently replicated in order to provide an ornamental layer to contemporary digital illustration. Nicholas Stevenson is an illustrator who uses texture this way. His visual language centres around analogue textures that are digitally applied from an ever-growing library of scanned surfaces: taken from worn book jackets, watermarked paper and ink smudges. This visual essay explores this topic through Nicholas's illustrations in dialogue with Gabrielle's written, critical commentary. Drawing on Mark Fisher's ideas about hauntology in twenty-first-century western culture, and Jean Baudrillard's simulacra, we intend to explore the latent effects of the ornamental application of analogue texture in digital illustration, with Nicholas Stevenson's work taking the role of both example and co-contributor.

Abstract:
Illustrations of Dickens's texts have often been seen as offering a moral encoding in which physical symmetry represents moral beauty. However, this reading does not explain the representation of more socially deviant personae, such as Nicholas Nickleby's Smike and A Christmas Carol's Scrooge. A comparison between the ‘ghost’ text and the ‘non-ghost’ text demonstrates the social breadth of the tension between illustration and text (or, as I term it, graphic haunting), due to the ability of this genre-crossing tension to uncover ‘other’ experiences haunting idealised formations of community. Fluctuations of line (Nickleby) and of colour (Carol) encode social liminality: Smike displays elements of both physical and intellectual or cognitive disability; Scrooge has no physical or mental disability but does have emotional scarring). The development of Smike's character through the Nickleby illustrations moves him from an outcast status to a place of pathos in which the audience can sympathise with him; the development of Scrooge's character in the Carol illustrations moves him to a place in which Scrooge empathises with outcast members of his contemporary society. By dramatising the emotional reality of male characters displaced from their communities, Dickens's graphically haunted texts explore the formation and permanency of a liminal masculinity from multiple angles, and consequently, question the social structures which produce exclusion.

Abstract:
This article focuses on assessment processes in the school subject of physical education (PE). Inspired by Torrance, the overarching research question is: ‘What might assessment involve if it focuses on the development and identification of collective understanding, collaboratively produced through educational experiences?’ The purpose of the study is to illustrate what characterises transformative assessment and show how it can be addressed in PE practice. A combination of group interviews with teachers, lesson observations and individual interviews with students and teachers was used to gather the empirical material. The analysis was based on three aspects of transformative assessment: responsibilisation; subjectification; and collaboration. Three empirical illustrations show what transformative assessment might involve in relation to learning tasks such as: the training log; the group choreography; and the case of exercise physiology. The views presented in this article contribute to the knowledge about the field in the following ways. First, the illustrations show that the ‘whats’, ‘hows’, ‘whoms’ and ‘whys’ in the assessment practice are often negotiable, which prevents a simplified understanding of the four aspects of assessment literacy: comprehension; application; interpretation; and critical engagement. Second, the notion of transformative assessment could hinder a reductive use of assessment for learning and promote collaborative learning and social justice in today’s heterogeneous PE practices.

Abstract:
Imagining “big data” brings up a palette of concerns about their technological intricacies, political significance, commercial value, and cultural impact. We look at this emerging arena of public sense-making and consider the spectrum of press illustrations that are employed to show what big data are and what their consequences could be. We collected all images from big data-related articles published in the online editions of The New York Times and The Washington Post. As the first examination of the visual dimension of big data news reports to date, our study suggests that big data are predominantly illustrated with reference to their areas of application and the people and materials involved in data analytics. As such, they provide concrete physical form to abstract data. Rather than conceiving of potential ramifications that are more or less likely to materialize, the dominant mode of illustration draws on existing, though often trite, visual evidence.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper emphasizes that attitude research in adapted physical education must become increasingly theory oriented. Likewise, teacher training must broaden to include scholarly study in relation to social psychology and attitude theory. To facilitate progress in this direction, nine attitude theories have been abstracted from the literature and reviewed under four general headings: learning-behavior theories, cognitive integration theories, consistency theories, and reasoned action theory. Individual theories presented are (a) contact, (b) mediated generalization, (c) assimilation-contrast or persuasive communication, (d) stigma, (e) interpersonal relations, (f) group dynamics, (g) cognitive dissonance, and (h) reasoned action. Illustrations of how each theory applies to selected studies in adapted physical education research and practice are offered, and a lengthy reference list provides both primary and secondary sources for the further study of attitudes.

Abstract:
Standing apart from traditional illustration city illustrations are interpretations by illustrators that take urban space as their primary source. The practice of drawing in the city, what I call drawing in situ, is part of a methodology to construct city illustrations that aims to know as you go carrying out a performance that is not premeditated before departure but discovered along the way. These illustrated cities work as mediators between the physical city and the illustrator’s imagination striving to present alternative perspectives about urban space. In this paper, I reflect on how subjective approach and embodied experience in the city emphasize the illustrator’s skills to contemplate, understand, and synthesize the city in one or a series of drawings. The results from drawing in situ become an extension of the illustrator’s body: intimately connected to movement and the direct experience of urban space. Far from simplifying the depiction of the city, the artistic practice as research explores the dynamics between different urban dimensions (architecture, moods, people, and stories) employing the artistic techniques better suited to expressively represent the illustrator’s encounter with the surrounding environment. My artistic practice as research, here presented, regards the different ways in which the dynamics of the city enhance, complement, or contradict urban perception and the understanding of urban space by the illustrator. It shows that the practice of drawing in situ is simultaneously engaging with and describing the city, experiencing, and learning through movement and creation. The drawing ability of the illustrator appears as a skilful way to disturb the usual perceptions of the cities focusing on the entanglements of lived experience in which the illustrator also takes part.

Abstract:
The use of illustrations in mass-produced travel narratives had become commonplace, if not to say accepted practice, by the early Twentieth Century. Advancements in printing technologies allowed such books to be experienced by readers as sensory environments constituted by textual imagery and the successive display of vantage points and objects of the illustrations. Printing techniques and aspects of the physical book contribute to this visual ecology, resulting in a readerly construction of an aesthetic environment drawing on the collective output of author, printers and illustrators. It is as just such an aesthetic environment that this article will seek to understand the 1926 subscribers’ edition of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph, T.E. Lawrence’s account of his role in the Arab Revolt during the First World War. In order to analyse how these decisions work together to form an aesthetic whole, this article will consider its context in terms of the development of photography as the dominant illustrative mode for travel literature before moving on to an analysis of Lawrence’s own use of this medium before engaging with elements such as layout, typography, decoration and, finally, a series of illustrations produced by Eric Kennington.

Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 53(7), 717-737. doi: 10.1080/01639374.2015.1044059 Objective – To determine how parents select picture books for their children, and which bibliographic data are important when selecting a specific version of a title with multiple interpretations. Design – Qualitative, with interviews and task-based controlled observational studies. Setting – A public library in Slovenia. Subjects – 36 parents of children between one and 6 years of age. Methods – The researchers recruited parents via convenience sampling in non-library, family-oriented locations (parks, playgrounds, beaches, and others). Participants were all interviewed regarding their methods of picture book selection and their use of library catalogues. Participants were then given six print bibliographic records for copies of Cinderella, available in libraries, and asked to select a book for their child based solely on these records. They were then presented with their selection and interviewed regarding their satisfaction with the book selected and their decision-making process. Finally, the researchers presented participants with all six physical copies of the book that had been represented by bibliographic records, and asked participants to select one of the books for their child. The researchers then interviewed participants regarding what information about the physical books should be included in records to assist in their decision-making. Main Results – Interviews indicated that the majority of participants did not use the library catalogue to select books for their children, and did not expect librarian or bookseller assistance. Many participants expressed browsing behaviours as the primary method of obtaining new picture books, and the strongest criteria for picture book selection among participants were subjective judgements regarding illustrations and content. However, when asked to use just bibliographic records to select a version of Cinderella, most participants selected a title using the author field and year of publication. 67% of participants were then dissatisfied with their selection due to factors such as illustration type, font size, and length or complexity of text. When choosing from all six physical copies, most participants disregarded condition issues and selected the oldest edition, favouring its colourful illustrations and textual length. Conclusions – The authors concluded that illustrations and book content were more important than other factors, including physical condition of the book, and that existing library catalogues were inadequate for picture book selection. They suggested that library catalogues should include further information about picture books, such as cover images, sample pages, book condition, and information about the type of text (whether it is the original, abridged, or an adaptation). They supported this by explaining that participants used the bibliographic fields already available (author, year of publication) to try and guess at what they actually considered important (the aforementioned suggested fields). In addition, they believed that their study indicated that users require a transparent and systematic way to review and compare versions of a given text. Finally, the authors recommended further study using enriched bibliographic records and additional data collection methods, such as focus groups and questionnaires. The authors have several further studies in this area planned.

Full text
Abstract:
Within late medieval alchemical texts, Latin authors adopted both classical and Arabic concepts of physical matter. They assumed that metals were composed of two polarized substances – hot, dry and masculine Philosophic Sulphur, and cool, wet and feminine Philosophic Mercury – whose ‘Chemical Wedding’ within the laboratory produced the Philosophers’ Stone. As visual illustrations developed in alchemical manuscripts and early printed books from the late fourteenth century onward, artists represented these substances with a variety of male and female characters, with Philosophic Mercury almost always depicted as a woman. At the same time, the planet Mercury, which oversaw the ripening of the metal Quicksilver within the earth, also played an important role within alchemical illustrations. This paper will examine how artists navigated this confusion by examining gendered images of the philosophical concept Mercury, the metal Mercury, and the planet Mercury, in light of shifting attitudes towards women in early modern science.

Abstract:
Determination of the mean-field Hamiltonian parameters can be seen as gathering information about all the single-particle states out of a very partial information on only a few experimentally known levels. This is exactly what the inverse problem in applied mathematics is about. We illustrate some of the related concepts in view of a preparation of the fully statistically significant parameter adjustment procedures. For this purpose we construct the exactly soluble inverse problems associated with the realistic and phenomenologically powerful nuclear Woods-Saxon Hamiltonian and we analyse a few both physical and mathematical aspects of such procedures. Presented illustrations suggest that to be able to discuss the predictive power of the mean-field Hamiltonians the parameter adjustment procedures must be based on a relatively complex statistical analysis partially addressed in Ref.1

We analyse this book’s physical creation – the collection of specimens, their engravings and their use and reuse in eighteenth-century editions and collections that were in the transition to binomial taxonomy. With particular concentration on the Lithophylacii’s illustrations of fossils, this paper will first analyse how the specimens were collected. We will then examine the use of these specimens and subsequent editions of Lhwyd’s book, with a focus upon how the relationship between them was drawn on by collectors such as Sir Hans Sloane and Daniel Solander from 1680 to 1760. Finally, we will demonstrate how Ashmolean Keeper William Huddesford repurposed the illustrations for Lhwyd’s book for his eighteenth-century edition of the field guide, incorporating new classificatory schemes. Our analysis will give insight into how a late seventeenth-century book of natural philosophy was used and repurposed by natural historians and collectors before and during the development of Linnaean taxonomy.

Abstract:
Abstract The steady laminar incompressible viscous magneto hydrodynamic boundary layer flow of an Eyring- Powell fluid over a nonlinear stretching flat surface in a nanofluid with slip condition and heat transfer through melting effect has been investigated numerically. The resulting nonlinear governing partial differential equations with associated boundary conditions of the problem have been formulated and transformed into a non-similar form. The resultant equations are then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with the shooting technique. The physical significance of different parameters on the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles is discussed through graphical illustrations. The impact of physical parameters on the local skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer is shown in tabulated form.

Abstract:
This paper concerns itself with photoinduced anisotropy in two azobenzene-functionalized polymers. A simple physical model of the process that considers only three possible states of azo chromophores is proposed. This model predicts an equilibrium level of anisotropy that depends on the pump irradiance and temperature. Each of these influences is examined in turn, with experimental illustrations from the two polymers poly[4-[2-(methacryloxy)-ethyl-ethyl]azobenzene] (pMEA) and poly[4prime-[[2-(methacryloxy)ethyl]-ethyl]amino-4-nitroazobenzene] (pDR1M).Key words: azobenzene polymers, photoinduced orientation, irradiance, temperature.

AbstractThis paper presents some new exact solutions which contain soliton solutions, breather solutions and two types of rational solutions for the variable-coefficient-modified Korteweg–de Vries equation, with the help of the multivariate transformation technique. Furthermore, based on these new soliton solutions, breather solutions and rational solutions, we discuss their non-linear dynamics properties. We also show the graphic illustrations of these solutions which can help us better understand the evolution of solution waves.

Abstract:
Drawing on illustrations from a recent life history study that focused on male student teachers as they negotiated their way through a 1-year postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) physical education teacher training course at a university in England, this paper explores how teachers are implicated in the social construction of gender relations in teaching physical education and school sport. The perspective forwarded is that the embodied gendered dispositions student teachers bring into the profession constitute a powerful influence on their professional behavior, and that the development and legitimation of these dispositions might be traced to key relationships with other physical education and coaching professionals. In so doing, we identify key moments in a process of cultural reproduction and conclude that teachers might be viewed as intergenerational living links or cultural conduits in the construction and transmission of particular gender orientations and practices in the profession. We conclude that future research needs to be intergenerational in focus if we are to better understand how these links act as channels in reproducing gender relations and how we might rupture and challenge them.

Abstract:
PurposeIn this study, the authors offer a practice theory framing of school physical activity transition with conceptual and managerial contributions to whole school approaches (WSAs).Design/methodology/approachBased on a literature overview of the limitations of WSA, ecological and systems theorisation and a practice theory framing of physical activity, the authors introduce a model that identifies signs of practice transition and conceptualises the relationship between signs and practice reconfigurations. To exemplify insights from the model, the authors provide illustrations from three cases from the national Estonian “Schools in Motion” programme.FindingsThe signs of practitioner effort, resistance and habituation indicate how practice ecosystem transition is unfolding across a spectrum from practice differentiation to routinisation. Several signs of transition, like resistance, indicate that reconfigured practices are becoming established. Also, there are signs of habituation that seemingly undermine the value of the programme but should instead be celebrated as valuable evidence for the normalisation of new practices.Practical implicationsThe article provides a model for WSA programme managers to recognise signs of transition and plan appropriate managerial activities.Originality/valueThe practice theory framing of school physical activity transition advances from extant theorizations of WSAs that have failed to account for the dynamic ways that socio-cultural change in complex school settings can unfold. A model, based on a practice ontology and concepts from theories of practice, is proposed. This recognises signs of transition and can help with the dynamic and reflexive management of transition that retains the purpose of systemic whole school change.

Abstract:
Hugues Salel’s translation of theIliadwas intended for noble, warrior readers, a conclusion based largely on internal evidence, both from the physical book (including its woodcuts) and from the French rendering of Homer’s epic. This article looks at the book’s verbal and visual texts to understand how Salel’s translation of theIliadis shaped in anticipation of its contemporary reception. It examines a translation into the vernacular of one of antiquity’s masterpieces, as well as what noble readers knew and wanted to know, and questions the purposes and processes of the production of illustrations and marginalia in the period.

Abstract:
Eigenvalue equations for guided modes in multilayer waveguides are given, along with equations for the field distributions. Closed analytic expressions are given to calculate the mode number of the guides. Two new concepts—fictitious half-phase shift and effective guide thickness—are extremely useful in the analysis of the field and in calculating the power carried by the different layers. General formulas for the dispersions caused by changes in various physical parameters are given. The study ends with illustrations using three-layer, four-layer, W-structure, and symmetrical seven-layer waveguides, as well as symmetrical periodic multilayer waveguides.
