The Struggle to Breathe: Living at Life Expectancy with Cystic Fibrosis

The first sizeable cohort of people living with cystic fibrosis(CF) has now reached adulthood. Gradual improvements in thediagnosis and treatment of the disease have increased life expectancyto approximately 32 years. Members of this cohort have livedall their lives near, at, or slightly beyond life expectancy.The authors tell the story of Lori Morris-Hughes, a 36-yearold who balances the demands of work and family life with life-longterminal illness. Whereas many accounts of medical advancementwrite the lived experiences of the ill out of history, Morris-Hughes'sillness narrative provides an account of the ways in which thetemporal and social conditions of existence are problematicfor those who live during times of increased life expectancy.Oral history is a particularly appropriate method of researchin the field of illness narrative.     

The Struggle for Identity: A Personal Reflection

This article explores Agamben's revisionist presentation of the anarchy of the Son and the void of power in the Trinity in his genealogy of economy and government in the West. It argues for a reading that sustains the actual self-depiction of orthodox theology on these points of doctrine in order to evaluate and critique orthodoxy's impact on politics in the West. Only after a thorough assessment of orthodoxy's doctrinal self-understanding can Agamben's reading of potential or suppressed meaning in orthodoxy be appreciated and possibly applied.     

The Archaeologist as Witness: Matthew Harvey's Glebeland Works,Walsall

Abstract

Opportunities to make first-hand records of industry should be grasped whole-heartedly by archaeologists. By taking a saddlery manufacturer in Walsall as an example, this article outlines some of the benefits of documenting working practices. It emphasizes that a first-hand knowledge of manufacturing techniques can assist archaeological interpretation, and shows that processes rarely proceed in a 'text book' manner, usually allowing for empirical adaptations. Process recording can also be used as a critical tool in the understanding of archaeological sites where the techniques employed are now extinct. The article concludes by considering two accounts of the iron trade written in the 18th century, which are compared with the results of process recording in the 20th to offer new insights into industrial archaeology as the archaeology of work.     

President Versus Congress: The Struggle for Public Attention

Power relationships between the executive and legislative branches in the United States are affected by the nature and shape of public opinion. Both branches actively seek the stamp of popular approval but the President has advantages in the struggle for public attention that are vital in the exercise of his powers. Television, in the coverage it gives to presidential activities and pseudo-activities, provides the President with an opportunity to move and lead the nation. Although we are a nation of shared powers, television projects the message that we are a presidential nation and that message is affecting both popular perceptions and power relationships on the national level.
