ABSTRACT This article explores a hitherto neglected context of Robert Browning’s “Gold Hair” (1864), analysing the poem in relation to the tradition of “hair harvests” in Brittany, France, as well as the broader contexts of the hair trade and hairwork in the nineteenth century. In doing so, it makes a case for reading the textual evocation of hair in the poem literally to trace a cultural shift towards hair framed in material rather than corporeal terms. The girl of the poem has abundant golden hair that corresponds with gold, hairwork, and the hair trade in ways that highlight its potential against the girl’s apparent rejection of common hair practices. Diverging from previous analyses that have read poetic representations of hair in Browning primarily as symbolic (especially in relation to sexuality), the pairing of hair with gold is shown in this poem to signify unrealised sources of credit, unprocessed matter, holding the potential to be exchanged or refined. This article considers practices of keeping, working, and selling hair in conjunction with the Brownings’ collection of hair and hairwork held by the Armstrong Browning Library, in this way elucidating the materiality of hair in both the poem and the Victorian imaginary.

ABSTRACT This article introduces texture as a key category of material analysis in Victorian literature and culture. Challenging distinctions between inside and outside structures, texture offers not only a complex, multi-layered understanding of material surfaces but also provides aesthetic and interpretive tools for rendering and analysing matter in literary and cultural representations. Drawing on Wilkie Collins’s No Name, this article argues that the novel presents the protagonist’s illegitimacy as a material condition by foregrounding the textural qualities of her bodily surface. Textural principles serve as a central technique of characterisation in No Name and are a crucial device through which the characters shape themselves and assess each other. As a means of interrogating Victorian laws and norms, the novel uses textures to show how normative conceptions of (il)legitimacy inform the characters’ and the narrator’s perception of (bodily) matter. The article shows how the novel’s textural construction of bodily materiality undermines comfortable distinctions between inside and outside, subject and object, as well as legitimate and illegitimate.

ABSTRACT This article identifies a Victorian moment in the genealogy of the intellectual formation of the “book of nature” made visible through Charles Anderson’s Sea Mosses herbarium (1873) to demonstrate how the herbarium transforms the metaphorical “book of nature” into a material site of ecological archiving. To underscore the registers of ecological archiving and reading taking shape through Anderson’s album, I introduce the “littoral book.” Alluding to the shoreside littoral zones where Victorian botanists collected seaweed, the littoral book is a material-conceptual book object founded on plant-human-text interconnectivities that invites humans to dwell within the ocean and its vegetal inhabitants. I introduce theoretical interlocutors with shared investments in materiality, book history and material ecocriticism, to map out forms of botanical archiving rooted in the littoral zone’s motions and materials. To capture the timeless and historicized, the sedimentary and dynamic, the territorial and amorphous qualities of the ocean’s littoral zones, I conduct close material analyses of Anderson’s album while initiating broader acts of speculative historical reconstruction by fleshing the techniques Anderson used for creating his herbarium – including specimen mounting, arranging, and labelling. This study of Anderson’s Sea Mosses reveals how the littoral book functions as an immersive, dynamic archive of oceanic memory.

ABSTRACT Hylo-idealism, the militantly atheist philosophical persuasion of Victorian poet and philosopher Constance Naden, attempted to combine what had long been thought irreconcilable: materialism with idealism, mind and matter, thought and thing. It did so radically by denying the difference between these dualistic terms. This paper explores the implications of this theory as it was developed in Naden’s poetry and prose, arguing that Naden’s insistence on the interrelationality of humanity and nature turns her into an unsuspected predecessor of latter-day new materialisms.

ABSTRACT Alice Perrin’s East of Suez is a collection of short stories set in India. She immediately plunges her readers into an unfamiliar and intense world where nature is not a passive object onto which the human subject can impose its will. Instead, nature is persistently visceral, vibrant, and vital in ways that echo changing perceptions of the natural world, especially in relation to matter and energy, in the fin de siècle. These shifts presented a challenge to patriarchal and colonial authority by dismantling dominant dualist ideologies. This article briefly sets out the development of non-dualistic scientific ideas about matter and energy, before outlining how this encouraged alternative approaches to material realities, such as theosophy and yoga philosophy. Finally, I look at Perrin’s East of Suez to show how non-dualistic ways of thinking contributed to anti-imperialist ideologies by challenging colonial attitudes to the indigenous environment.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the materiality of skin as it is figured and re-figured through sunburn and suntanning descriptions in nineteenth-century culture. In nineteenth-century literary representations, the suntanned skin of white, British subjects is depicted through a rich array of terminology attending not only to the transformation of colour but also to the surface texture of the skin. This article identifies that, amid changing ideas about the embodiment of self within the skin, suntanning representations bring to the surface a particular ambivalence around the stability of the skin that manifests through explorations of the reconfiguration of the skin surface. The article analyses the language of suntanning to explore, firstly, how the action of sunburn and tanning reveals the skin as unstable and susceptible to the invasive actions of the sun, endangering the boundary-lines of the physical and conceptual self; and, secondly, instances in which suntanned skin is conceptualised through likeness to material objects in a way that metaphorically and conceptually hardens the skin and self against the wider world.

ABSTRACT In recent years, digital platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and ResearchGate have broadened the range of genres used in specialised knowledge dissemination. This paper focuses on the Video Abstract (VA), a four-to-five-minute presentation of what lies behind the production of a specific research article (RA). This emergent genre transcends the confines of the RA allowing researchers to reinterpret their research making use of multiple information flows thanks to the meaning-making affordances created by the videotrack, the soundtrack and, above all, their simultaneous interplay. The extent to which researchers make full use of these affordances is examined in relation to the generic structure of a small specialised video corpus of medical VAs published in ten international journals. The study shows that the VA tends to replicate the generic structure typical of the RA but does so by using different subgenres which address a wider audience than that of the RA.

ABSTRACT The main objectives of this study are, first, to analyse the interactive metadiscourse devices used in engineering, medicine and linguistics and the identities represented; second, to identify the visual metadiscourse elements employed in the three identities constructed in the three specific settings and, finally, to classify and compare the multimodal metadiscourse used to cohere the different parts of digital academic discourse with the aim of guiding the reader textually as well as visually. To this end, academic papers were collected from journals which belonged to the specific fields of linguistics, engineering and medicine. The corpus was analysed to identify and classify the data. The results showed that there were in fact differences in the way academic writers used multimodal metadiscourse and constructed and represented their identity. The study revealed that engineers used visual metadiscourse more frequently, while linguistic researchers preferred the use of textual metadiscourse. Finally, conclusions were drawn.

ABSTRACT This paper analyses the automatic email signatures (ASs) of 200 academics. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the ASs reveal that they are often written in one language, and only occasionally in two, English being a frequent choice. The ASs contain information with a primarily identificatory function, and occasionally with a promotional and socialising function. Despite the absence of clearly compulsory components, a typical structure can be identified in the ASs, which includes a specification of the writers’ identity, reference to their affiliation, mention of their achievements, and an indication on how they can be reached. Like other academic texts, the ASs examined are places of self-categorisation and self-identification, tools for presenting one’s professional identity, which are developing as sites of self-promotion.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the role of interactive metadiscourse in a representative corpus of digitalised, open access social science empirical research articles from the Economics and Law disciplines. Both distributional and functional analyses of interactive metadiscourse resources support a continuum of qualitative and quantitative empirical research analysis methods as necessary to regulate mechanisms for discipline- and culture-oriented knowledge practices in the genre. This study aims to provide a greater understanding of metadiscourse in this incrementally digitalised form of scholarly writing.
