Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 6 lays groundwork for explaining what a constitutive rule is and how they underwrite certain important forms of constitutive agency by giving an analysis of the concept of a certain category of essentially intentional action type, and locating it in a taxonomy of essentially intentional action types. It begins with an overview of essentially intentional action types. Next it analyzes one sort of essentially intentional action type as involving two components, a requirement that a certain activity pattern be instantiated and a requirement that it be instantiated intentionally, focusing on tic-tac-toe as an example. It distinguishes these sorts of essentially intentional action types from those defined by an intentionally pursued goal. It discusses briefly essentially intentional primitive action types, and then takes up a puzzle about intending to perform essentially intentional action types. It concludes with a taxonomy of essentially intentional action types by way of summary.

Full text
Abstract:
In this chapter, Socrates’ defense of justice in Book 1 is addressed. Thrasymachus’ definition of justice as the interest of the stronger provides the impetus for this defense. Socrates refutes this definition of justice and goes on to argue that justice rather than injustice makes for a better life for a human being. Although Thrasymachus is refuted in Book 1, he makes an important contribution to the dialogue by connecting justice to partnerships and, in particular, to the sort of partnership that is a political community regulated by laws. Socrates takes over from Thrasymachus this understanding of justice as linked to the activity of engaging in partnerships. His arguments for the benefits of justice rely on the insight that justice is the virtue that perfects the activity of engaging in partnership.

Abstract:
A puzzle about attention with a long history is addressed, the puzzle that attention can be captured by events and in such cases does not appear to be required for conscious experience. One might argue that there is still conscious attention in such cases, though of a global sort; but the view this chapter defends is rather that attention has a subliminal as well as a conscious form. Subliminally attention is the mode of activity of cognitive modules which are responsible for the orienting towards and processing of stimuli and their deliverance into awareness, as well as their crossmodal interconnections.

Abstract:
This chapter examines attempts to popularize and democratize news online through collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering offers a means to replace the role of professional editors in setting the news agenda and deciding which stories deserve the most prominence. Instead of professional editors, collaborative filtering relies on algorithms to sort, rank, and prioritize the news based on the activity of large groups of web users. Various news sites have added some aspect of collaborative filtering, but the chapter focuses on social news sites (Reddit, Newsvine, and Slashdot) because they allow their users to make conscious voting choices about which stories should be most prominent. These sites epitomize the defining characteristics of the social Web and apply them to news.

Abstract:
Science is an activity and this creates some tension with one of its perceived norms, namely its objectivity. We do not simply record data in a detached way. We perform experimental interventions, which is a matter of choice, informed by our interests. There are interventionist accounts of causation that clearly cannot be used to define causation, since intervention is already a causal notion. However, the idea shows what is important about causal knowledge: it allows us to manipulate the world to our own ends, or at least to have good fallible reasons for what would happen if a certain sort of intervention were to occur. We are causally involved in the world that we study; indeed, our study of it depends on that.

Abstract:
In challenging the Aaronide use of text for ritual authority in the first part of the Persian period, the Levites factored text into a wisdom curriculum that moved beyond Aaronide-ritual contexts. Nehemiah 8 provides a sort of model for this process, subjecting the Pentateuch to new terms of revelation through sapiential exegesis. But the creation of the Book of the Twelve served as the ultimate masterstroke, yielding a new model for how Levite sages actualized and facilitated revelation through their literary activity and study of textual sources. The Chronicler’s depiction of the Levites as prophets by virtue of their chanting and teaching of prophetic texts finds its roots in the ideology embedded in and expressed by the Book of the Twelve: YHWH’s presence was affirmed and indeed invoked through the sapiential engagement of prophetic texts.

Full text
Abstract:
There was no systematic treatment of philosophical issues related to embodiment in the medieval period in the Latin West. But a number of theological and philosophical problems related to the nature of the knowledge of embodied and disembodied human souls and angels forced philosophies such as Scholasticism and thinkers such as Ockham, Suárez, and above all Thomas Aquinas to engage with what it was for a being to have or to assume a body. The one thing that characterized embodied entities when it came to cognition was their having to get that knowledge by themselves through or in conjunction with the corporeal senses. There was no denying that embodiment was the natural state of human beings, and therefore that this was as good as it could get in God’s creation. Still the body was seen as a sort of encumbrance to arriving at a purer kind of intellectual activity.

Abstract:
Focusing on Rimbaud’s artistic activity in the Cercle zutique in the autumn of 1871, Chapter 5 proposes that we think of parody as a form of dialogical poetic critique, an artistic practice illustrating, in condensed form, the over-arching argument concerning poetic materiality that is at the heart of the present study. In the Album zutique we find Rimbaud at the center of an ephemeral poetic community that doubles as a sort of archive of the recently repressed Paris Commune, and we find Rimbaud himself gleefully pushing the limits not only of acceptable poetic and social behavior, but of French verse in its formal intelligibility too. Engaging in particular with a parodic sonnet that Rimbaud and Verlaine jointly composed, “L’Idole—Sonnet du trou du cul,” this chapter seeks to account for how the mode of writing—the poetics and politics—at stake in this collaborative sonnet goes “beyond the parody principle.”

Abstract:
This chapter details the early life of Denise Levertov. Denise was born in Ilford, on October 24, 1923, to Beatrice Spooner-Jones and Paul Levertoff. Her older sister Olga was nine. Eight months after Denise's birth the Levertoffs bought five-bedroom, brick, semidetached house at 5 Mansfield Road in Ilford not far from Lenox Gardens and nearby Cranbrook Road, the main street, and close to the large Valentine and Wanstead parks. The Levertoff household was a hive of activity. Since neither daughter attended school, everyone was generally at home. They had few connections to the surrounding community and no extended family with whom they regularly interacted. Their Welsh, Russian, and Jewish cultural origins set them apart. Nonetheless, wayfarers of every sort—Jewish booksellers, Russian and German scholars, musicians, and Jewish refugees all passed through their home. Everyone in the family read, to themselves and to others. Every room of the house was filled with books, some of which were bought by Paul Levertoff as a secondhand “lot” from Sotheby's.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter seeks to describe the particular sort of psychic conflict that allows Socrates to distinguish different parts of the soul. In Republic 4 Socrates argues that the soul has roughly the same parts as the best city. The resulting parts of the soul (appetite, spirit, and desire) are described as capable of acting for such ends as pleasure, honor, and knowledge. The function of the rational part, calculation, is described in detail. Two sorts of unity between parts of the soul are described. A weak unity characterizes a soul whose parts are capable of helping each other carry out their own tasks but often interfere with each other. A strong unity characterizes the virtuous soul whose parts actively help each other achieve their different ends. In the virtuous soul, each part acts for the sake of achieving the end of strong unity.

Abstract:
In the decades leading up to the Arab Spring in 2011, when Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime was swept from power in Egypt, Muslim women took a leading role in developing a robust Islamist presence in the country's public sphere. This book examines the writings and activism of these women—including scholars, preachers, journalists, critics, actors, and public intellectuals—who envisioned an Islamic awakening in which women's rights and the family, equality, and emancipation were at the center. Challenging Western conceptions of Muslim women as being oppressed by Islam, this book shows how women used “soft force”—a women's jihad characterized by nonviolent protest—to oppose secular dictatorship and articulate a public sphere that was both Islamic and democratic. The book draws on memoirs, political essays, sermons, newspaper articles, and other writings to explore how these women imagined the home and the family as sites of the free practice of religion in a climate where Islamists were under siege by the secular state. While they seem to reinforce women's traditional roles in a male-dominated society, these Islamist writers also reoriented Islamist politics in domains coded as feminine, putting women at the very forefront in imagining an Islamic polity. The book transforms our understanding of women's rights, women's liberation, and women's equality in Egypt's Islamic revival.

Abstract:
The climate crisis has led various prominent writers to call for greater reliance on experts. Not only have they called on experts for technical solutions, but also for a greater role in the policy decision processes. If central governments step in with strong measures, even more authoritarian forms of rule, the turn to technocratic experts will undoubtedly be a part of the strategy. The chapter seeks to sort out the issues and questions posed by this appeal to technical expertise. It begins by looking at the evolution of techno-managerial expertise in modern environmental politics, before examining the technocratic mode of reason and the depoliticization of the policymaking that it advocates. The discussion then moves from the realm of theory to examine specific contemporary technocratic arguments and concludes with a discussion of the nature of technocratic power.

Full text
Abstract:
Games are a unique art form. Game designers don’t just create a world; they create who you will be in that world. They tell you what abilities to use and what goals to take on. In other words, games work in the medium of agency. This book explores what games have to teach us about our own rationality and agency. We have the capacity for a peculiar sort of motivational inversion. For some of us, winning is not the point. We take on an interest in winning temporarily, so that we can play the game. Thus, we are capable of taking on temporary and disposable ends. At the center of this book is a view about games as communicative artifacts. Games are a way of recording forms of agency; they are a library of agencies. And exploring that library can help us develop our own agency and autonomy. But this technology can also be used for art. Games can sculpt our practical activity, for the sake of the beauty of our own actions. Our struggles, in games, can be designed to fit our capacities. Games can present a harmonious world, where our abilities fit the task. Games are a kind of existential balm against the difficult and exhausting value clarity of the world. But this presents a special danger. Games can be a fantasy of value clarity, which can encourage us to oversimplify our enduring values.

Full text
Abstract:
La question de l'enseignement de l’oral préoccupe à la fois les enseignants et les apprenants. Dans un contexte d’apprentissage non naturel, les compétences liées aux activités de compréhension et de production orales sont complexes et difficiles à travailler d’une manière efficace. Les habiletés liées aux activités de l’oral, comme par exemple la compréhension, la production, l’interaction et la médiation, exigent de l’apprenant le développement d'aptitudes perceptives auditives, sémantiques, linguistiques, cognitives et phonétiques. Par ailleurs, les processus des activités de l’oral sont intangibles et peu maniables, ce qui rend l’apprentissage encore plus ardu. Qui plus est, l’enseignement institutionnel impose une évaluation, souvent sommative avec un système de notation. À cause de diverses contraintes, dans la plupart des classes de langues étrangères, la performance de l'oral est en général contrôlée par un test, qui très souvent ne permet pas de faire un diagnostic clair informant sur l'état de la progression de l'apprenant. Nous nous interrogeons ici sur les processus de compréhension et de production de l’oral. Nous sommes intéressés à répondre à plusieurs questions : Que se passe-t-il lorsqu’un apprenant essaie de communiquer oralement avec un locuteur natif ? Comment les informations sont-elles organisées pour formuler des énoncés ? Comment organiser des activités pour travailler l’oral et quelles en sont les conditions ? De quelles façons l’oral peut-il être évalué ? Quels sont les critères à privilégier, pour quels oraux et dans quelles situations ? Composé de 14 articles, cet ouvrage est le fruit de plusieurs journées d’étude internationales consacrées à l’enseignement/apprentissage de l’oral, organisées entre 2013 et 2017 par l’équipe de recherches Plidam de l’Inalco à Paris.

Full text
Abstract:
Patient safety suddenly burst into public consciousness in the late 1990s and became a “celebrated” cause in the 2000s. It has since gradually faltered, and little improvement has been noted over almost 20 years. Both the rise and fall of patient safety demand explanation. Medical harm had been known long before the 1990s, so why did it suddenly become popular? And why were safety efforts ineffective? The authors propose that this rise was due to a discursive shift that reframed “medical harm” into “medical error” in the setting of anxiety about industrialization and great change in healthcare. The “error” framing, with its inherent notion of agency, was useful in advancing the agenda of a technocratic, managerial group of health professionals and diminishing the authority of the old guard based on clinical expertise. The fall was due to this “medicalization” of safety. Health professionals and managers with little knowledge of safety science came to dominate the patient safety field, crowding out expertise from the safety sciences (e.g., psychology, engineering) and thus keeping reform under the control of the healthcare establishment. Operating with a sort of delusional clarity, this scientific-bureaucratic cabal generated a great deal of activity but made little progress because they failed to engage with expertise in the safety sciences. Twenty years after sudden popularity, there is general agreement that little of value has been achieved. The future of patient safety is in doubt, and radical reform in approaches to safety will be required for progress to be made.

Abstract:
Protestant fundamentalism has had no denominational boards and no higher organizational authority. In their absence, institutions of higher education have often served as the forums in which conservative evangelicals debated the meanings of their faith. They have also become vital centers for political and cultural activism. From the 1920s through the 1980s, colleges, universities, Bible institutes, and seminaries have been the hubs of a loosely connected network of evangelical and fundamentalist churches and organizations. In many ways, the institutional needs of higher education have shaped fundamentalist religion, politics, and culture just as much as fundamentalist religion has shaped a distinctive sort of school.

Abstract:
In their pursuit of prohibition and moral politics, religious activists both harnessed and subverted two dominant regional discourses—those surrounding race and gender—to clothe themselves in the garb of righteousness. Prohibition did not merely reflect or reproduce regional norms, but neither did it occur in isolation from them. The creation of the clerics’ moral community depended on an ever-changing amalgamation of race, gender, class, religion, and politics. For instance, although white prohibitionists made explicit appeals to a “better sort” of black southerners, they simultaneously used African American opposition to moral reform as evidence for the need of laws disfranchising black voters. Likewise, male religious leaders loudly proclaimed themselves honorable defenders of female virtue, and while they welcomed female foot soldiers, their notion of male guardianship prevented them from accepting female activists as equal participants in the prohibition crusade.

Abstract:
This chapter describes a series of sit-ins during 1944. Led by largely forgotten African American women, this interracial direct-action campaign sought to challenge the color line at department-store lunch counters. Integrating, or at least improving, access to food service at major downtown retailers was an important step in the process of breaking down elements of Jim Crow segregation in St. Louis. That same year, the March on Washington Movement (MOWM) shifted its attention toward obtaining and retaining jobs for black workers in publicly funded workplaces. Gaining access to jobs operating switchboards and in the local administration of Southwestern Bell Telephone offices was presented as a stride toward securing sustainable employment for a largely female contingent of working-class African Americans who wanted long-term white- and pink-collar employment. This sort of local women's activism, juxtaposed against national men's leadership, is consistent with a gendered pattern of activism in civil rights campaigns that persisted through the 1960s.

Abstract:
What are the risks? How big are they? ‘Resilience’ considers some central questions faced by structural engineers. Structures are safety critical—when they fail people may be killed—but no human activity is risk free, so how safe is safe enough? Scientific knowledge is necessary but not sufficient. Many assessments and assumptions have to be made about what may happen in the future. Risks can be predicted and controlled, but by their very nature the answers are partial because of system and human uncertainties. Systems-thinking provides a common language for hard and soft systems and examines how the most promising way of re-integrating those professions fragmented by specialisms.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that anarchism was strongest among San Francisco's Italians, but the city's diversity, mixed neighborhoods, and the Italian community's small size relative to the total population meant that multiethnic alliances were both easy to forge and necessary to sustain radical activity. The result was the emergence of a pan-ethnic “Latin” movement encompassing Italian, French, and Spanish-speaking anarchists and syndicalists. By the First World War, San Francisco's anarchist groups had amalgamated into a loose coalition that extended across virtually the entire ethnoracial spectrum, and the city had become a major nexus of global radicalism that rivaled Paris in its myriad of international revolutionaries and progressives of all sorts.

Abstract:
The human qualities, types of arguments, and the varieties of evidence that brought victory in a Roman courtroom are the subject of long controversy. The argument offered here is that evidence was subordinated to argument in Roman legal practice and the common thread tying arguments in various types of cases together was personal prestige of a particularly Roman sort—auctoritas, dignitas, gravitas—ideally possessed by litigants, advocates, witnesses, and supporting onlookers. But inert prestige was ineffectual: prestige carried with it expectations of behaviour, and its possessors were required to activate its power by appropriate behaviour in court, which confirmed the truthfulness of what they said, and at the same time strictly avoid inappropriate behaviour, which lessened or obliterated the power of their prestige.

Sont pris en compte les macro-constituants (protides, lipides, glucides), ainsi qu’un grand nombre de constituants minoritaires, dont les vitamines. Les réactions chimiques et biochimiques affectant ces constituants font l’objet d’une description très complète appuyée sur de nombreuses références bibliographiques. Les facteurs (température, temps, pH, teneur en oxygène, pression, activités enzymatiques…) qui influencent ces modifications chimiques sont examinés, ainsi que l’impact bénéfique ou néfaste de ces dernières sur les plans sensoriel, fonctionnel et nutritionnel. <i>(del prólogo de J.

Abstract:
Wider relations of friendship and kinship were also important in the new men’s exercise of power. Brothers, sons, uncles, and nephews often played roles in local affairs that complemented the activity of the new men at the centre of government, while kin of all sorts were important in securing landed property. Close relations with circles of gentry likewise anchored the new men in county society. Relations with senior churchmen and noblemen could be more ambivalent, ranging from the close cooperation at the centre of Henry’s conciliar elite to wary recognition of one another’s power. The new men stuck close to one another, but also split into groups, leaving Empson and Dudley increasingly isolated as the reign neared its end.
