Neglecting Others and Making It Up to Them: The Idea of a Corrective Duty
I aspire to answer two questions regarding the concept of a corrective duty. The first concerns what it means to wrong others, thus triggering a demand for corrections (the ground question). The second relates to the proper content of corrective duties. I first illustrate how three prominent accounts of corrective duties—the Aristotelian model of correlativity, the Kantian idea that wronging corresponds to the violation of others’ right to freedom, and the more recent continuity view—have failed to answer the two questions satisfactorily. I then introduce my proposal, which holds that we wrong others when we fail to treat their status as moral agents as a source of stringent constraints on our action. I call it the moral neglect account. Once we have identified a common aim of corrective duties (counterbalancing moral neglect), we can fill their content in the various contexts in which wronging has occurred. I conclude by observing that it is not the primary role of corrective justice to assign responsibilities for damage reparations; in fact, requests for compensation make more sense if framed in distributive rather than corrective terms.

Martin Amis and the Changing of the Guard
A new generation was in town, and ten years later the editor of Granta, Bill Buford, wrote about them as follows: I'm convinced that had it been organized even three years before, it would have flopped: there was too little to promote. ... In January of 1980, the beginning of the decade, I read a short story that was good, but, for reasons that must have been persuasive at the time, not good enough to publish, although apparently good enough for me to want to contact the writer and urge hm to send us something else, resulting in a series of phone calls - to Norwich, London, Guildford - until finally I reached an unknown Kazuo Ishiguro in a bed-st in Cardiff; the pay-phone was in the hall. Midnight's Children sold over one million copies in the UK alone and not only won the 1981 Booker Prize but was awarded the 'Booker of Bookers\" Prize in 1993 and 2008 to celebrate the 25\" and 40\" anniversaries of the Booker Prize. In his Introduction to the Penguin edition of Augie March in 2001, Hitchens quotes his friend Amis, who had written in 1987, soon after Money appeared, \"for all its marvels, Augie March, like Henderson the Rain King, often resembles a lecture on destiny fed through a thesaurus of low-life patois.\"

The Greatest Rock and Soul Band in the World? The Rolling Stones, genre and race
The Rolling Stones played a core role in establishing the generic conventions of rock. A key ideological element of this was the band's reverential dedication to the blues and the importance of the blues to their musical development. However, what is much less recognised is the influence of soul on the band's sound. By looking at the band's repertoire, composition and performing style, this paper explores the influence that soul, particularly Southern soul, had on the band's formative years and argues that, in many ways, they have adopted the aesthetic conventions of soul, rather than rock, for the majority of their career. Rethinking The Stones’ style in this way may help us better understand their position in the rock canon, while also encouraging careful interrogation of the racialised division of rock and soul that emerged in the late 1960s.

Sound, music and magic in football stadiums
This article discusses the role of music performance in football matches, highlighting the importance of the belief in its sonic powers as a trigger for causal relations between events. Music functions as a communicational axis linking the physical realm to mystical or intangible dimensions. By performing music and sounds on terraces, fans believe that they can change the course of the match, interfering in the mood, the bodies and, eventually, the result. Magic is a shared belief among fans, players and journalists, one that is activated through sounds and rituals. In football, the idea of magic is often perceived and referred to as a causal explanation for achievements and defeats that could hardly be understood or explained through rational and scientific knowledge. Music is a key feature in this process.
