No Name is a 19th-century novel by the master of sensation fiction, Wilkie Collins. A country gentleman is killed in an accident and his wife dies shortly after him. The blow is double for their daughters, who discover that they were born before their parents were married. Their sudden illegitimacy robs them of their inheritance and their accustomed place in society

Although the name-letter task is one of the most frequently used measures of implicit self-esteem, no research has examined whether the name-letter effect emerges for new last name initials and abandoned birth name initials in the context of marriage. Additionally, no systematic investigation has examined the robustness of the name-letter effect across age cohorts. In a large heterogeneous sample (N = 1,380), reliable letter preferences were found for new last name initials and for abandoned birth name initials, even after 20 years of marriage. In addition, robust name-letter effects emerged across all assessed age cohorts. Implications for the implicit self-esteem literature regarding the robustness of the name-letter task for married and nonmarried individuals of all post-pubescent ages are discussed.

The out-migration of Vietnamese workers seeking overseas employment is the main type of international migration in Viet Nam. There are various government institutions generating data on immigrants and emigrants. The Exit-Entry Department of the Immigration Bureau monitors the outflows of Vietnamese nationals and the inflows of foreign nationals into the country. The General Statistics Office collects data on immigration, but the data collected by the census are not comprehensive. The Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs is responsible for data on contract-based labor migration. The Ministry of Public Security and Border Guard Command are potential information providers on irregular migration into and from Viet Nam; however, the collected data are not made public. Commercial banks do not differentiate remittances transferred by overseas Vietnamese workers and other remittances. The scarcity, availability and accessibility of international migration data are areas in need of improvement.

A practitioner's use of names, naming, and name calling can significantly affect the direction of interventions in work with families. The author discusses ethnic, gender, and developmental awareness as they relate to practice issues such as cross-cultural name calling, name changes, cross-gender names, the double standard with name titles, labeling, and name forms as expressions of developmental stages.

This contribution starts from observing a remarkable absence of continuity in scholarly debates and discourses, in the field of theater and performance studies. Instead, our 'debate' seems to be hidden in a process of ongoing proliferation, moving in any kind of direction without any sense of orientation, which makes it very hard to identify a specific theatre and performance studies perspective or to identify approaches and methodologies specific to the field - something that is actually quite relevant when interdisciplinary exchange is to be a mutual affair. The problem of this wide variety of approaches is that it renders theatre and performance studies invisible as a specific practice with particular approaches. How are we to be recognized in an interdisciplinary field? By inquiring in the practice and politics of 'naming', and the absence of that, this contribution addresses the current state of affairs in the theatre and performance studies field, followed by the suggestion that we should perhaps give names to our tools and concepts and methodologies, to establish debates in which we enter into discussion and actually respond to each other. This contribution deliberately seeks to move through uneasy terms like 'tradition' or 'branding', to advocate a practice of naming. Drawing on Tim Ingold's analysis of naming practices and activities (rather than classes or categories) and Rosi Braidotti's citationality, this invitation is not a call for 'closing the ranks', instead it is a plea for articulating particularity; an invitation to develop a joint, accumulative practice, in which we continue acting fugitively, but with a plan.
