Item Open Access A Fixed Reputation? British Wartime Propaganda(2024) Monger, DavidItem Open Access Deviant Encodings(2003) Copeland, B. Jack; Proudfoot, DWhat is computation? We describe a number of related techniques that enable Turing machines to solve the halting problem. In each case, the machine’s (supposedly impossible) behaviour is made possible by a feature of the encoding scheme employed either to represent the input or to represent the output. Some means of excluding these deviant encodings is required when using the Turing-machine concept to define the traditional set of computable functions. The exercise of quarantining deviant encodings casts fresh light on Turing's historic definition of computability.Item Open Access For the love of blood: the Roman arena(2024) Sciarrino, EnricaItem Open Access The European Union in the Pacific: Solidarity to Strategic Interest?(2024) Doidge, MathewItem Open Access Item Open Access Augustus' genealogy in the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand(2021) Sciarrino EItem Open Access Poets, translators and clever slaves in Ancient Rome(2021) Sciarrino, EnricaItem Open Access Ukraine through a Baltic lens: Regional networks of meanings(2020) Matheson D; Chaban NWhat “storylines” appear in the Baltic news media about Ukraine in terms of Ukraine’s perceived capability, opportunity, and affinity? Is there a regional – Baltic – “storyline” emerging, or are these “storylines” country-specific? Do the meanings conveyed by the media “storylines” resonate with the opinions of young opinion-influencers? What do resonances and clashes mean for the formulation and projection of the strategic narrative in these countries and the region and for these countries’ relations with Ukraine?Item Open Access Learning Lessons from Disasters: Is there any point?(2020) Middendorf J; Millar, PaulThis seminar will begin by describing the development of CEISMIC and outlining some of the project’s challenges and possibilities. But the main thrust of the session will be to arrive at a robust discussion about the point and purpose of post-disaster cultural heritage digital archives like CEISMIC in an era when headlines like the ones above underscore the accelerating crisis of the global climate disaster, expected to affect over 4 billion people and destroy lives, livelihoods and entire communities. Do small discrete archiving projects like CEISMIC have value or meaning when the climate disaster looms so large?Item Open Access A slice of wedding cake history(2020) Cobley, JoannaItem Open Access Justice Ministers, the Justice Ministry, and Penal Reform: The First 100 Years(2007) Newbold, GJails and lockups have existed in NZ since the 1st days of colonisation, but they had no legal authority until the 1st Legislative Council was formed in 1841. After that, prisons were run by Sheriffs who reported to the Governor, while the administration of justice belonged to the Colonial Secretary. Until 1853 serious criminals were transported to Tasmania but this ceased in 1853 and from then on, full responsibility for prisons passed to the Provinces that had been established under the Constitution Act 1852.Item Open Access Item Open Access Changing social change -Maintaining the Why but changing the How(2019) McMeeking SItem Open Access Do Māori follow Labov’s norms on prestige?(2018) King, Jeanette; Watson, Catherine I.; Keegan, Peter J.; Maclagan, Margaret; Harlow, RayItem Open Access Item Open Access Food, recipes and empire in Mid-Republican Rome(2019) Sciarrino EPosts on Facebook and Instagram hit us with images of extravagant dishes and recipes of all sorts, all the time. Some include familiar foods, others feature exotic ingredients. As in the past so too today, food is not just about nourishment, it is about identity, about who we are, what we believe and how we relate to others. In the ancient world things were not much different; the Greeks and the Romans had a very lively culinary culture, and just like today the choice of food sent strong political and cultural messages. This afternoon I will focus on the food culture of the Romans in the mid second century BCE, that is, when the Romans stopped relating to the Greeks as one of the many peoples that lived in Italy and began to encroach upon their world as conquerors.Item Open Access Item Open Access New Zealand perceptions of an EU Free Trade Agreement – beyond the ISDS(2018) Kelly SL; Holland MItem Open Access The Impact of Issues on the 2016 Presidential Election in Taiwan(2017) Tan AC; Clark C; Ho KThe dramatic DPP victory suggested that fundamental change may have commenced in the nature of Taiwan politics, particularly in the partisan balance (Clark, Ho, and Tan, 2016; Hsieh, 2016; Templeman, 2016). Another area of possible change is the relationship between the issue position of Taiwan voters and their voting patterns. For most of the country’s democratic history national identity has been the dominant issue in its politics (Clark and Tan, 2012; Fell, 2005, 2012; Hsieh, 2002, 2016). Two other issues may be becoming more salient, however. First, Taiwan’s declining economic performance could have made economic issues more important; and, second, widespread alienation from political elites could have become a significant issue as well. This paper, then, explores how issues affected presidential vote in the 2016 elections. The first section provides an overview of the election; the second describes the research design; and the third reports our analysis.Item Open Access Phonological priming in consonants and vowels(2017) Clark L; Villarreal D
