Economic and moral visions of relic circulation
Given this intense interest in contextualizing relics for their viewers and guiding or limiting access to them, it is surprising that so many central medieval monasteries (and some cathedrals) would choose to remove their relics from those contexts and send them out into the world. Our sense of the importance...

Liturgical frameworks for relic circulation
When the monks of Gigny came to Cluny in 1158 with their relics of St. Taurinus, they were welcomed with an impressive display of the wealth and power of their mother house. Abbot Hugh of Cluny had ordered the entire village to go out to meet the relics and launched an intensive preparation campaign...

Relic circulation and the landscape
Fields, houses, pastures, cities, villages, ridges, valleys And the entire region for this reason, remain full with gifts. Thus what we read concerning Christ, is restored in [Amandus]: Mountains and hills will chant praise to you And the trees of the woods applaud at your coming. [Isaiah 55:12]'...

The mobile relic
It is by now a common observation that a relic does not interpret itself; to be powerful or meaningful, it had to be encased or embedded in symbolic and Relics and their companions as travelers 83 physical layers of meaning, what Cynthia Hahn has termed “the reliquary effect”.9 At home in...

Analyzing transnational projects through their mobilities, circulation, and transfer
In the urban geography and planning literature, one can find differing and sometimes inconsistent ways of labeling transnational fluxes and trajectories involved in urban projects, urban development schemes, and their related real-estate investments as well as the ways in which they occur in space and...

Brain circulation, mobility, and the ‘management’ of irregularity
The third component of the migration and development debate, brain circulation, or brain drain, again tends to focus on those with high-skill levels. This is understandable and it is important to also acknowledge the global competition for skilled migrants and their relative mobility globally compared...

The push: academic mobility
As discussed in earlier chapters, higher education has been marked in recent years by a growth in international connectedness (Skyrme & McGee, 2016). Opportunities to study' abroad started in the 1980s, as rich universities began to offer large scholarships as part of their aid programmes (77?r Economist,...

Student mobility
Student mobility is another factor, which may affect UK universities (Marginson, 2017). Non-EU international student numbers may reduce by 30 to 40%, which would cut into institutional incomes (Marginson, 2017). Applications to UK universities from continental EU students, starting university from September...

Government disinformation in war and conflict
Rhys Crilley and Precious N. Chatterje-Doody ‘The first casualty when war comes’, wrote US Senator Hiram Johnson in 1917, ‘is truth’ (Knightley 2004), and research has shown that through the ages, war and conflict have always been marked by the use of lies, propaganda, and what we now...

Disinformation matters in war and conflict
In what is considered one of the foundational texts for understanding modern war and conflict, Clausewitz notes that a ‘great part of the information obtained in war is contradictory, a still greater part is false, and by far the greatest part is of a doubtful character’ (Clausewitz 2017, 46). Yet,...
