New article in Political Philosophy / @polphiljournal.bsky.social > “Legibility and Contestability: Opaque Power, Misattribution, and Fascist Closure” by Hannah McHugh:

Legibility and Contestability: Opaque Power, Misattribution, and Fascist ClosureContemporary power is often opaque. People may be made vulnerable by arrangements whose sources and mechanisms are difficult to identify. This article argues that opaque power raises a problem of political legibility: agents need some practically usable account of what makes them vulnerable, how that vulnerability is sustained, and where challenge might be directed. Such accounts can be accurate, partial, expressive, or distorted. Fascist politics is a revealing case because it supplies false clarity: it turns diffuse vulnerability into injury to a collective body, identifies enemies as its cause, and presents authoritarian restoration as the remedy. The article argues that this operation depends on perceptual-symbolic framing, the organisation of appearance and affect through which relations of power become politically intelligible. Democratic politics therefore needs forms of legibility vivid enough to orient action while remaining plural, revisable, and accountable to truth.doi.org

New article in Political Philosophy / @polphiljournal.bsky.social > "Debate: City Spaces and Systems: When Protecting Turf May be Justified" by Abraham Singer:

Debate:  City Spaces and Systems: When Protecting Turf May be JustifiedThis article responds to an argument in this journal by Monaghan who contends that creating “territory” is a crucial part of a just urban environment but claiming “turf” – claiming and attempting to enforce exclusionary control over urban space – is unjust. This article argues that Monaghan’s argument is a bit too quick. When we understand the way cities, as emergent systems, can produce injustice, it creates the possible justification for the creation of turf as a way for communities to assert themselves against conditions of marginalization or to address gross inequalities.doi.org

New Laboratory Phonology / @labphon.bsky.social: "Variation in the production of te reo Māori opening vowel sequences" by Kirsten Culhane et al.:

Variation in the production of te reo Māori opening vowel sequencesThis study examines the production of the  te reo Māori opening vowel sequences /ia/ /ea/ /oa/ and /ua/, which  have been  described as hiatuses. We re-examine this classification through acoustic phonetic analysis, using data from three generations of speakers in the MAONZE corpus. We propose a novel bottom-up approach which reveals that the opening sequences are not uniformly hiatus-like  as described.  Rather, there are structured patterns of variation among duration, formant and intensity trajectories, which form a clear continuum of variation between hiatus- and diphthong-like realisations. All generations of speakers show structured variation in their production of the sequences.  We also find that there are  word position and  morpheme boundary effects on the production of the  sequences, and that there is evidence that they have become decoupled from the monophthongs over time. These findings have several implications for how the phonology of Māori is described. The paper also makes a broader methodological contribution,as the methods used do not require presupposing categories like 'hiatus' and `diphthong'.  Instead, they allow us to examine patterns of variation between trajectories (formants, intensity) and other measures like duration,  without pre-supposing what kind of variation is present in the data.  doi.org

New publication in @theparishreview.bsky.social / The Parish Review: Journal of Flann O'Brien Studies : "Print as Pharmakon in the Journalism of Aldous Huxley and Brian O'Nolan" by Tobias W Harris (Tobias W. Harris):

Print as <em>Pharmakon</em> in the Journalism of Aldous Huxley and Brian O'NolanThis article explores the stylistic intersections between the journalism of Aldous Huxley and Brian O’Nolan (Flann O’Brien), arguing that both writers use strategic ambivalences of tone to subvert journalistic convention. Using the theoretical lens of the Platonic pharmakon—as explored by Jacques Derrida and Bernard Stiegler—the essay demonstrates how Huxley and O’Nolan saw print culture as pharmacological: a remedy and a poison which thus requires critical challenges in its adoption to counteract its automatising effects. The essay applies Brecht’s concept of ‘functional transformation’ to examples of where Huxley and O’Nolan, fearful of the tendencies of print culture to foreclose the possibilities for thought, use stylistics to re-engineer the media apparatus with the aim of restoring the reader’s faculty for critical judgment.doi.org

New article in Laboratory Phonology / @labphon.bsky.social: "Cross-linguistic patterns in voicing-conditioned vowel duration" by Chelsea Sanker:

Cross-linguistic patterns in voicing-conditioned vowel durationIn many languages, vowels are longer before voiced consonants than before voiceless consonants. A substantial body of work addresses voicing-conditioned vowel duration, including other factors with which it interacts and what might cause it. While it has been observed that the effect is smaller in some languages than in others, no typological overview exists. This paper summarizes cross-linguistic patterns of this effect and contributes additional data from languages in which the relationship between voicing and vowel duration has not previously been described. The observed patterns include the following: A gradient distribution of the size of voicing-conditioned vowel duration effects across languages; frequently but not always larger voicing effects with fricatives than with stops; a strong by-language correlation in size between different manners of articulation (i.e., the size of the voicing effect with stops is predictive of the size of the voicing effect with fricatives in the same language); and little correlation between the size of the effect word-medially and word-finally. This compilation of voicing-conditioned vowel duration across languages establishes some of its typical patterns and sheds light on what might cause this effect. This typological information may serve as a foundation for future research on voicing-conditioned vowel duration.doi.org
