Abstract:
The phylogeny of the Elipsocidae is reappraised to aid understanding of generic relationships within the family, leading to its clear definition as a monophyletic entity and clarification of its position within the infraorder Homilopsocidea. Examination of new material and generic-level revision results in descriptions of ten new elipsocid genera: Prionotodrilus, gen. nov. for P. parvus (Smithers & Thornton), comb. nov. and P. serratus (Schmidt & Thornton), comb. nov.; Ausysium, gen. nov. for A. joyceorum, sp. nov.; Diademadrilus, gen. nov. for D. annulatus (Smithers), comb. nov., for which a description of the female is given, and D. masseyi (New), comb. nov.; Euryphallus, gen. nov. for E. badonneli (New & Thornton), comb. nov., E. cinqueportsae (Thornton & New), comb. nov., E. cooki (Thornton & New), comb. nov., E. defoei (Thornton & New), comb. nov., E. selkirki (Thornton & New), comb. nov., E. skottsbergi (Thornton & New), comb. nov. and E. stigmaticus (Tillyard), comb. nov.; Gondwanapsocus, gen. nov. for G. australis, sp. nov.; Onychophallus, gen. nov. for O. diemenensis, sp. nov.; Psocophloea, gen. nov. for P. sarahae, sp. nov.; Telmopsocus, gen. nov. for T. waldheimensis, sp. nov.; Villopsocus, gen. nov. for V. tasmaniensis, sp. nov., and Weddellopsocus, gen. nov. for W. avius (Smithers), comb. nov., W. carrilloi (Thornton & Lyall), comb. nov., W. flavus (Thornton & Lyall), comb. nov., W. griseus (New & Thornton), comb. nov. and W. valdiviensis (Blanchard), comb. nov. A rediagnosis of Spilopsocus is given, the male of Sabulopsocus tractuosus Smithers is described and Nepiomorpha phragmitella Smithers is transferred to Clinopsocus New. We provide a phylogenetic analysis to assess the monophyly of Elipsocidae. Sixty-one characters are scored for 38 taxa, including the putative new genera and four outgroups. Monophyly of Elipsocidae is supported with the exclusion of four genera: Palmicola Mockford is transferred to Mesopsocidae; Sabulopsocus Smithers and Moapsocus, gen.�nov. for M. angelicus, sp. nov. are placed in the new family Sabulopsocidae; and Drymopsocus Smithers, which is the sister-taxon to Elipsocidae, is incertae sedis. Other taxa previously regarded as elipsocids are reassigned: Elipsocus impressus (Hagen), Elipsocus modestus Banks and Elipsocus boops (Hagen) are redescribed and respectively placed in Valenzuela Navás (Caeciliusidae), Dasydemella Enderlein (Dasydemellidae) and Mesopsocus Kolbe (Mesopsocidae). Lesneia Badonnel is placed in the new family Lesneiidae. The position of Eolachesilla Badonnel is discussed briefly. A key to genera and comment on characters diagnosing the family Elipsocidae is presented. We retain two subfamilies and discuss the merits of our proposed higher classification. A brief biogeographical interpretation suggests that the family has a southern origin and may be as old as the Mesozoic.

Abstract:
WITH AMPLE SELECTIONS FROM contemporary family letters, the sixth chapter of E. M. Forster's Marianne Thornton: A Domestic Biography (1956), entitled “Deceased Wife's Sister,” narrates the story of “a fantastic mishap” that the members of his grandparents' generation “could only regard as tragic” (189). After the death of his first wife, Harriet, in 1840, Henry Thornton decided to take another – Harriet's younger sister Emily – and at once, “the situation became very awkward” (190). Having lived with Henry all her life, his sister Marianne “behaved civilly” (190) to Emily Dealtry, who “had continued to frequent the house” after Harriet's demise, helping “to look after her nephew and her nieces” (189), but another Thornton sister, Isabella, “refused to see her anywhere” (190). Spending “vast sums” without success “in trying to get the 1850 bill passed” (192) – a bill that would have repealed the 1835 statute invalidating all such future marriages – Henry closed up the family home and took Emily, her mother, and his own daughters abroad to solemnize the marriage in one of the many European states where these unions were legal. Appalled, the rest of his nine siblings, most of them married, worked to maintain a united front. Upon Henry and Emily's return to England, they prevailed upon the susceptible Marianne to stay away from Battersea Rise, the family home: even “a single visit” from her, Forster's clerical grandfather insisted, “will be magnified into countenance and approval by a leading member of the family: and every artifice be employed to draw others in …. In the mind of society the family may become mixed with the offenders: and real injury be done without any resultant benefit” (214). By this act on the part of “the Master, the Inheritor, who had betrayed his trust,” Forster characterizes the other members of the family as “excluded for ever” from their ancestral home “unless they bent the knee to immorality, which was unthinkable” (205). Marking his own distance from Thornton family values, Forster comments, “to the moralist, so much discomfort will seem appropriate. To the amoralist it will offer yet another example of the cruelty and stupidity of the English law in matters of sex” (210).

Abstract:
In their 2012 book The Institutional Logics Perspective, Patricia Thornton, William Ocasio and Michael Lounsbury proposed the addition of community as a logic to more traditional candidates such as religion and family. This article argues that an examination of the wider sociological and historical literature indicates that community is indeed an important category of analysis, but as the context shaping action rather than as a logic. The literature that Thornton, Ocasio and Lounsbury draw on tends to conflate community as a form of informal social structure with community as geographically bounded space. Using Friedland’s characterization of logics as a combination of substance and practices, I argue that community lacks the coherence necessary to function as a logic. While community remains an important part of our conceptual armoury, I argue that as well as being aware of the connotations of the term it may be more productive to consider it as the context in which logics are received, contested and blended. Attention is thus directed to the ways in which a range of organizational forms might foster or negate shared feelings of groupness.

Abstract:
Abstract Before beginning his military service in the summer of 1942, Thornton Wilder collaborated with acclaimed suspense director Alfred Hitchcock to write the movie Shadow of a Doubt. Despite its simple premise regarding an all-American family endangered by a dark secret, the film reveals both men's concern with the war and the ideologies behind the aggression of the Axis Powers. This article explores how the collaboration built upon the two artists' shared sense of the uniqueness of their dramatic forms, including a similar democratic sensibility and a use of doubles to emphasize the audience's (and western civilization's) vulnerability to the appeal and threat of fascism.

Abstract:
Abstract Thornton Wilder’s 1931 one-act play The Long Christmas Dinner presents several challenges in staging. This article records the experiences of a student production— from early rehearsal through performance—mounted at the University of South Carolina Sumter. The production also included Wilder’s other 1931 one-act The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden. The article describes how the production handled the allegorical portals of birth and death in The Long Christmas Dinner, and how the production endeavored to communicate the play’s compression of 150 years of family dinners into a thirty-minute performance. It describes the production’s innovative techniques which replicated the play’s sound effects and stage movement.

Abstract:
Abstract One of Thornton Wilder's most famous acquaintances was Sigmund Freud. Allusions to Freud or psychoanalytical concepts can be found in Wilder's plays and novels up to the end of his career. Perhaps the work most indebted to Freud's theorizing about the human psyche and behavior is the little-known one-act play The Rivers Under the Earth, first published in The Collected Short Plays of Thornton Wilder, Volume One, in 1997. The play depicts Wilder's typical nuclear family: a middle-class husband and wife with their teenage son and daughter. But in this play, Wilder goes beyond hints of the Oedipus and Electra complexes that appear in his more famous works to show his understanding of Freud's theory of the unconscious processes of the mind. During one night of the family's annual summer vacation, the parents realize the childhood events responsible for particular quirks of their son's and daughter's personality and actions. Thus, Wilder demonstrates what Freud called condensation and displacement, mental operations in which powerful repressed emotional experiences are associated with sensory phenomena or abstractions of them. Although scholars such as David Castronovo have noted Freudian influences in the one-act plays Wilder wrote in the late 1950s and early 1960s that were intended to be part of two seven-play cycles, The Seven Deadly Sins and The Seven Ages of Man, this article gives a more in-depth and technical reading of Wilder's dramatization of Freud's psychoanalytic theory of human behavior in the one-act play written during this same period.

Abstract:
AbstractTwenty years ago, George R. Keiser showed that the mutilated last quire of Lincoln Cathedral, Dean and Chapter Library, MS 91 had once contained a herbal written in Middle English. He discovered moreover that passages parallel to those reconstructable for the Lincoln manuscript appear in other texts, including an important work called John Lelamour’s Herbal after a name mentioned in its explicit, and concluded that Lelamour, an otherwise unknown fourteenth-century schoolmaster from Hereford, was the author of the original treatise that Thornton and other scribes used for the composition of their own herbals. The present article will present ample evidence which will demonstrate that Keiser’s hypothesis on a Herefordian pedigree for this textual family cannot be sustained any longer, and that the origins of this textual family should in fact be sought not too far from Scotland. A linguistic approach based on a collection of scribal modifications, both unconscious and conscious ones (i. e. copy mistakes and changes made on purpose by the several copyists), will be used for the task. This will reveal how linguistic variation between the several manuscripts can be profitably used to reconstruct the dialect of the original translation, which will here consequently be named Northern Middle English Translation of Macer Floridus’s De Viribus Herbarum (or Northern Macer for short).

Abstract:
Many scholars have noted the theoretical importance of remarriage in twentieth-century American life (Burch 1995; Cherlin 1998; Furstenberg 1980; Glick 1980; Thornton 1977; Uhlenberg and Chew 1986), yet few historical studies have examined remarriage in the United States empirically. This gap in the literature is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the turn of the twentieth century seems to have marked a crossover in the remarriage transition of the United States, reflecting changes in the pool of persons eligible to remarry. This transition was characterized by decreases in remarriage resulting from declines inmortality and probability of widow(er)hood, followed by increases in remarriage resulting from higher divorce rates. The crossover in the transition was likely to have occurred when the pool of eligibles was at or near its nadir. Second, there is ongoing debate about the implications of remarriage for families and individuals (Booth and Dunn 1994), and about the impacts of remarriage on family functions (Cherlin 1978; Cherlin and Furstenberg 1994). In the light of these considerations, we believe it is important to examine remarriage and its consequences in the United States at the turn of the century so that we may better understand the ways that remarriage influences family life and shapes the life course of persons within families (see London and Elman 2001).

Abstract:
This chapter outlines the Strachan of Thornton family’s networks with ties of loyalty and religion to Mary Queen of Scots. George’s early education at home and subsequent training at Jesuit colleges in France is explained along with the difficulties that following a Catholic education abroad caused his family.The Strachan family’s involvement in the affair of the ‘Spanish Blanks’ and the threat of financial ruin which this caused, forced them to convert to Calvinism. This incident is used to exemplify the political dangers faced by noble families in late 16th-century Scotland. George Strachan’s options of jeopardising the family fortunes or adhering to Catholicism shows the problems of the divided loyalties in Scottish society of the time.

Abstract:
In 1988 José Luis Guerín took a film crew from Spain to the western coast of Ireland, in search of the filming locations of John Ford’s The Quiet Man (1952). The resultant film, Innisfree (1990), blends documentary with fiction, and the present with the past, to seemingly uncover the physical, cultural and spectral remnants of the Hollywood production in this small rural locality. Innisfree is both the product of a journey (the Spanish filmmaker’s fannish field trip) and the representation of several journeys and returns. This essay examines Guerín’s depiction of the ghostly persistence of The Quiet Man in the landscape, by using Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope to identify the lasting significance of real and imagined time-spaces in the cinematic landscape. Just as immigrant Irishman Sean Thornton (John Wayne) returns to his spiritual homeland from Pittsburgh, USA to reclaim his family land, Ford himself returns to the land of his parents’ birth. In Innisfree Thornton’s, Ford’s and Guerín’s imagined Irelands all mingle and intertwine in a confusing crossroads of time, fiction, memory and landscape.

"A weakness of many past studies on the differences illness makes on the family has been that family and illness were viewed as if they constitute an isolated dyad, unaffected by the responses of health care providers and the requirements of treatment. When considered, treatment was often seen as an aspect of the illness and not separated from it for purposes of practical analysis. Yet we know that variability of health provider response toward the "same" problem is the rule rather than the exception and that such variability creates widely different experiences for patients and their families. It seems, therefore, that along with the type of illness and "response style" of the family, we need always to include the response and involvement of health providers in order to appreciate the effects on the family of any illness. Some studies are beginning to integrate more fully the role of treatment in the total picture. Recent research on the effects of kidney transplantation and the search for kidney donors provides an illustration of the powerful reverberations as available medical procedure can set off in both nuclear and extended family systems (e.g., Kemph, Bermann, & Coppolillo (1969); Fellner & Marshall (1968, 1970); Simmons, Klein, & Thornton (1973). As the scope and scale of medical technology increases, we find ourselves being forced to examine the "fallout" just as we have in other areas of powerful technological specialization and growth. In the formal sense, the problem of pollution applies to the health care industry in the same way that it applies to agriculture. 3. Family-Health Services Provider Relations The study of the effects of treatment on the family leads naturally to a larger set of questions about all the imaginable ways that families and health care providers relate to one another. Here we are concerned about everything from the traditional house call to the logic and economics of health insurance policies, which by underwriting only individual members one by one, fail to cover families as biosocial units. One area of enduring interest is the "doctor-patient relationship" (e.g., Balint, 1957; Blum, 1960; Bloom, 1963). Family medicine has enlarged the focus to "doctor-family" and, perhaps more representatively, to "health care team-family" since it is becoming increasingly clear that what families need and want cannot be and need not be supplied entirely or exclusively by physicians. Serious efforts to develop family-centered health services create both challenges and threats to conventional health care providers and to the current predominant models of organizing health services. The potential for constructive change contained in the family approach may well be timely and." In Family Medicine, 58–69. Routledge, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9781315060781-12.
