Abstract:
A History of the Case Study represents a critical intervention into contemporary debate concerning the construction of knowledge which – after Michel Foucault’s elaborations on modern discourses of power – considers the medical case study in particular as an expression of new forms of disciplinary authority. This volume scrutinises the changing status of the human case study, that is, the medical, legal or literary case study that places an individual at its centre. With close reference to the dawning of ‘sexual modernity’ during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and to ideas about sexual identity in the period immediately before and after the fin de siècle, the following chapters examine the case writing practices of selected pioneers of the case study genre....

Abstract:
West Java is a diverse Islamic society in which different segments attach contrasting meanings to Islamic communications. Many Muslims are accustomed to listening to preachers when carrying out their routines of piety and celebration. These preachers shape their messages to everyday realities. Other segments problematize routine preaching, arguing that preaching should enable Muslims to transcend their everyday realities. The chapter introduces West Java and its capital city, Bandung, and conveys the multi-faceted Islamic heritage of the region, providing background to the critiques of preaching produced by Muslim elites of the region.

Abstract:
This book examines ideational power by focusing on the energy and momentum that are built into “flashes of conviction.” The discussion centers on the affective dimension of collective ideas and on how ideology comes to matter in the lives of people. Using the concept of conviction, the book analyzes the fluctuating intensity and quality of attitudes, motivations, and beliefs. It looks at different examples of conviction with particular emphasis on the impulses and resonances generated by assertions of truth. These topics are explored in the context of post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan, and particularly in the mining town of Kokjangak, at a time of economic collapse and political turmoil. This introduction explains how the concepts of conviction and ideology are employed in order to lay the foundations for the conceptual framework developed in this book.

Abstract:
In academic debates and popular political discourse, tolerance almost invariably refers either to an individual moral or ethical disposition or to a constitutional legal principle. However, for the political actors and ordinary residents of early modern Northern European countries torn apart by religious civil war, tolerance was a political capacity, an ability to talk to one’s religious and political opponents in order to negotiate civil peace and other crucial public goods. This book tells the story of perhaps the greatest historical theorist-practitioner of this political conception of tolerance: Michel de Montaigne. This introductory chapter argues that a Montaignian insistence that political opponents enter into productive dialogue with each other is worth reviving and promoting in the increasingly polarized democratic polities of the twenty-first century.

Abstract:
The introduction sets out the major themes of the book and explains the terms used in the title: authority, repetition, and reception. Authority entails a comparison of Homer with Ovid, as created and challenged by Ovid himself; this theme, articulated through the trope of paternity, of paternity centers on the relationship between father and son expressed both thematically and metatextually by Ovid. Repetition, a singular hallmark of Homeric oral compositional technique, features prominently in Ovid’s notional comparison with Homer, as a stylistic gesture to his model; it also serves as a way to set up an analogy between Ovid’s eagerness to be seen as a Homeric poet and the theme of erotic desire. Finally, the perspective of reception embraces the range of Ovid’s interpretation and revision of Homer. The introduction also explains why Ovid’s interaction with the poems of Virgil is treated only peripherally, and the primary emphasis is placed on Homer.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the authors’ concepts of peace and conflict, as well as their approach to rigorous study of the topic. As stated, their goal is to identify and redirect researchers away from studying political conflict and violence in isolation and to encourage more deep thinking about what peace is (that is, that peace is not simply the absence of political conflict and violence). In particular, the authors define peace as a form of “political mutuality.” To facilitate this new study of peace, they examine its roots and identify how and where standard research has gone astray. They discuss the intricate connection between the study of peace and the study of conflict, and they not only provide a means to return to earlier methods of investigation that were better grounded theoretically, but they also map out a way to study the topic empirically.

Abstract:
This introduction gives a more exact characterization of the conflict of reason by relating it to Kant’s doctrine of transcendental illusion. As I explain, the conflict of reason arises because we cannot sensibly act on the demands of reason without assuming that their associated conditions for being applied obtain, but on Kant’s view, we can never know that those conditions do obtain. The chapter stresses the importance of Kant’s view that there is a conflict of reason considered in its speculative use, but also a conflict of reason considered in its practical use; as I argue, there is a significant difference between Kant’s diagnosis of and solution to the conflict of reason in each of its two uses, and this has to do with a fundamental distinction between theoretical and practical reason: namely, that while theoretical reason is receptive, practical reason is efficacious. The introduction also provides a chapter outline and draws attention to some of the distinguishing features of the book.

Abstract:
I begin introducing the book by asking why pragmatists have had so little to say about equality and justice. I argue that the silence from pragmatists on these issues is the upshot of pragmatism’s emphasis on means and methods, instead of goals and outcomes. I then go on to sketch the contours of a pragmatist approach to these questions (emphasizing that pragmatists are likely to be political realists, and that they will be historically and contextually sensitive to real world campaigns for equality and justice) and to reflect on some of the areas in political theory to which pragmatists have made important contributions. The introduction also explains the general approach of the book, both in relation to and in distinction from, those important contributions.

Abstract:
This chapter provides an introduction, explicating the book’s mission and its interdisciplinary methodology while illuminating the most important concepts. The book proposes a more effective way for European Union (EU) Institutions to pursue legal integration while respecting language diversity, choosing the integration of contract law as its case study. The combined policy objectives of legal integration and language diversity function as normative benchmarks for critically assessing EU’s multilingual practices and procedures of the EU Institutions, or “Institutional Multilingualism.” It concentrates both on “EU Translation,” that is, the work of EU translators and lawyer–linguists in EU legislative bodies who produce EU’s multilingual legislation, as well as the ways in which the Court of Justice of the EU attributes uniform meaning to the various language versions of EU legislation. Finally, these evaluations are framed in terms of translation “orientations,” as expounded in a 19th-century essay by Friedrich Schleiermacher.

Abstract:
The Introduction examines the changing historiography of Vichy and Occupied France, particularly since the 1970s, when historians challenged postwar French myths as they discovered newly accessible archival sources and exposed the reality behind Pétain’s claim that Vichy merely acted as a shield. In fact the regime’s nationalism differed from that of many Frenchmen in stressing the soil as opposed to political principle and hence the imperative for the administration to remain on it. This, however, was at the price of collaboration with an occupying power, which not only made increasing demands but also served as an umbrella for the regime’s desired political changes. Researchers still need to examine the results for French culture and particularly music, an art of special interest to the Germans, as Vichy moved toward greater collaboration. And they must examine how composers confronted the Vichy model of French culture as opposed to that now defined by the Resistance.

Abstract:
What is the history of preserving, writing, exhibiting, theorizing, and imagining the history of Paris photographically? How, when, and to what end did photographs become interesting as historical evidence—and more specifically, evidence of the history of Paris—and to whom? These questions can be best answered by an institutional history of photo collecting in the city’s historical museum and library alongside an effort to traces the uses of photographs by amateur and popular historians, publishers, and photographers beyond their walls. This investigation builds on literatures about the city of Paris, its visual regimes, the relationship between history and memory, the role of the historical imagination, the reduction of Paris to an image, and histories of the “Visual Turn.” It deploys the cliché as a methodological approach to tell a new history about the relationship between Paris and its insistently photographic past.
