Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the originality of the communal political experience, which took shape around the horizontal ties between the cives, whose strength was able to break the traditional nexus between power and social pre-eminence, even that of the emperor himself. Libertas, in terms of political autonomy based on custom, then became one of the structuring words of the great narrative elaborated by the communes, part of a broader ideology of civil life that, through an ancient lexicon (consul, res publica, iurisdictio, etc.), articulated a completely new kind of content.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the fullest formulation of probabilism as it was articulated by the Jesuit theorists and professors of theology at the Roman College, which by the end of the sixteenth century had become the center of Jesuit knowledge. This chapter focuses in particular on Francisco de Toledo, Gregorio de Valencia, Francisco Suárez, and Gabriel Vázquez. Through an analysis of a substantial number of these authors’ manuscripts alongside their printed work, this chapter shows how probabilism evolved into a coherent and wide-ranging intellectual system for dealing with human uncertainty.

Abstract:

This chapter frames world Christianities as a continuous dialogue within, across, and between worlds: the human world of the everyday and the divine (utopian) world of God. To mediate this contradiction inherent to Christianity—and perhaps to the human experience more generally—Christian soteriological and eschatological doctrines takes the shape of continuous journeys aimed at transcending the boundaries of both the sacred and the secular, producing an (altered) return that re-creates the everyday world, where difference is ever-present.

Abstract:

In Paradoxes of Nostalgia; Penny M. Von Eschen offers a sweeping examination of the cold war’s afterlife and the lingering shadows it casts over geopolitics, journalism, and popular culture. She shows how myriad forms of nostalgia across the globe—from those that posit a mythic national past to those critical of neoliberalism that remember a time when people believed in the possibility of a collective good—indelibly shape the post-cold war era. When Western triumphalism moved into the global South and former Eastern bloc spaces, many articulated a powerful sense of loss and a longing for stabi

This book analyzes the early stages of the interior design profession as articulated within the circles involved in the decoration of the private home in the second half of nineteenth-century France. It argues that the increased presence of the modern, domestic interior in the visual culture of the nineteenth century enabled the profession to take shape. Upholsterers, cabinet-makers, architects, stage designers, department stores, taste advisors, collectors, and illustrators, came together to “sell” the idea of the unified interior as an image and a total work of art.

Since it was globalisation that, in part at least, necessitated the break from ‘old Labour’, chapter 2 begins by locating the New Labour project within the context of the global economy, and the various ways in which the perceived realities of ‘globalisation’ were internalised and articulated by various government officials. The place of Gordon Brown, this chapter argues, was crucial in this. His role as architect-in-chief of the New Labour project reveals an interesting paradox at the heart of the party’s thinking and discourse regarding globalisation.

Abstract:

The Yellow Vest (Gilets Jaunes) protests that started in November 2018 have rocked French political culture and led critics to denounce the movement as being a threat to democracy, or worse. Among other things the protestors were accused of being barbarians, philistines, racists, anti-Semites and reactionaries who would destroy both France and European civilization. In fact, this book argues that the protests must be understood as part of a wave of protests against the extension of the market into all areas of social life that have been taking place around the world since the 1980s.

Abstract Victorian microscopists saw observation as deeply embodied, the images emerging through a material entanglement of bodies (of the observer, instrument, apparatus, and object) in a dynamic, unstable system. These ideas echo mid-century work by physiological psychologists, who saw mind (perception, thinking, feeling) as embodied, distributed, and dynamic processes, enacted and affected by automatic or unconscious reflex action, attention, mental training, and fatigue. Microscopists circulated metaphorical and narrative tropes of embodiment through the varied forms of nineteenth-century

Over the course of these events, it has become clear that the EU’s constitutional development largely evades popular control. At the same time, the EU faces increasing politicization from below.

The second is to answer these questions: (1) how can violence be conceptualized in a way that opens to an understanding of the specificity of urban violence? (2) What is the urban in urban violence?

Beginning with theories of absolute property, this introduction considers the merits of a more composite view, namely the ‘bundle of rights’ concept. Anthropologists discuss the relationships between people at the heart of property regimes, but personhood must also be seen as embedded in the things owned. The ideas of rules and control are key, and the concept of control at a distance provides useful conceptual purchase. Property is a complex idea to articulate, and natural law, religious and political frameworks of property are interwoven. Moreover, property is shaped by economic prerogatives

Arguing that Henry Adams, Henry James and Edith Wharton articulated their political thought in response to the liberalism that reigned in Boston and, more specifically, at Harvard University, American Snobs shows how each of these authors interrogated that liberalism's arguments for education, democracy and the political duties of the cultivated elite. Coit shows that the works of these authors contributed to a realist critique of a liberal New England idealism that fed into the narrative about 'the genteel tradition', which shaped the study of US literature during the twentieth century.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses three methodological concerns about studying global Shakespeare—those touring and intercultural performances often thought to play a geopolitical role in cultural diplomacy. First, the postnational space for global arts is shaped by mutual influence and fluid cultural locations rather than by traditional notions of the nation state. It is therefore no longer useful to consider a production within one national context. Second, global Shakespeare as a field of study reflects the anxiety about cultural particularity and universality. Identifying the dynamics behind the prod

Abstract:

Lyndall, Schreiner's articulate young feminist, marks the entry of the controversial New Woman into nineteenth-century fiction. Raised as an orphan amid a makeshift family, she witnesses an intolerable world of colonial exploitation. Desiring a formal education, she leaves the isolated farm for boarding school in her early teens, only to return four years later from an unhappy relationship. Unable to meet the demands of her mysterious lover, Lyndall retires to a house in Bloemfontein, where, delirious with exhaustion, she is unknowingly tended by an English farmer disguised as her female nurse

Abstract:

Familiarity with the theology of John Bunyan is important for the interpretation of his literary classics. That theology was Reformed, or Calvinist, focused on soteriology, and shaped by Bunyan’s search for faith and his experience in a Dissenting congregation on the borderline between Baptists and Independents. At its heart was an emphasis on the forgiveness of sins by a divine grace given without conditions, which Bunyan thought had been offered in the gospel to the worst of sinners, among whom he included himself. He articulated his theology through a scheme of covenants and an order of sal

Abstract:

Winged artifacts aim at the imitation of nature’s ingenious method to produce thrust with slim and smart-shaped flapping surfaces—the bending-torsional drive. The kinematics of these surfaces shows, in three dimensions, a bending motion coupled with a simultaneous torsion. This chapter describes the design and development of the artificial bird SmartBird, which was introduced in 2011 on the occasion of the annual international industry fair Hannovermesse. This artwork with articulated wings received worldwide attention through its unprecedented agility. The efficient motion of bodies heavier t

Abstract:

While Chapters 1–3 examine early modern texts that take the work of spatial representation as an opportunity to consider the labor, dangers, and possibilities of representation, the Conclusion (which takes its title from remarks by Richard Hakluyt in describing how as a child he became fascinated by maps) considers three contemporary objects: a mug, a Mapparium, and recent revisions to the famous boot-shaped silhouette of Louisiana. Each of these objects represents a global or regional area in some novel way: foregrounding their artifice in order to exploit the same cartographic anxieties of r

Abstract:

Abstract The Waltzing Body in Victorian Literature: Narratives of Sexuality and Power traces the evolution of the waltz from a taboo dance in the early nineteenth century to a gracefully nostalgic practice that must be preserved by century’s end (and even into the twenty-first century). While it references eighteenth-century authors to frame the waltz’s initial reception in England, the book focuses primarily on Victorian authors who shape how and why this dance was paradoxically viewed as elegant, effeminate, and sterile. The book’s chapters explore female sexuality and the concept of choice

Abstract:

This chapter examines how carceral power was articulated in the kitchenettes—small, tight, cramped spaces that many Black migrants in the Black Belt were forced to live in between World War I and World War II—and shaped identity formation. Drawing on the literature of Richard Wright, it considers how the police power that functioned in the public space of Chicago's Black Belt moved into the homes of Black migrants. Decades before carceral power made it into the academic lexicon, Wright used his fiction and nonfiction to document and understand the effect the geography of containment had on Bla

Abstract:

Are claims for redistributive justice reconcilable with the demands for order? This question remains as significant today as it was articulated in The Anarchical Society forty years ago. This essay explores its aporetic nature against the horizon afforded by spectrality—the ghostlike presence/absence of justice in Bull’s account of the international. The problem of justice in this alternative decolonial narrative occasions three interrelated components: (1) an acknowledgement of particular (exclusionary) historical settlements that have shaped the contemporary international order; (2) recognit

This biography describes the intellectual and political milieus that helped shape Noam Chomsky, a pivotal figure in contemporary linguistics, politics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy. It also presents an engaging political history of the last several decades, including such events as the Spanish Civil War, the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the march on the Pentagon to protest the Vietnam War. The book highlights Chomsky's views on the uses and misuses of the university as an institution, his assessment of useful political engagement, and his doubts about postmod

Demonstrating an engagement with political and ideological issues from childhood, Sima challenged linguistic constraints and participated in the revolution of 1979 as a university student of twenty-one. She has shaped her career as a woman singer within the well-known constraints in Iran, as restrictions are placed around women singers by law. Making choices to sing songs that articulate women's a

Abstract:

This chapter analyzes Bavli Gittin’s self-critical assessment of the ethical failings of the rabbis and other Jewish elites. Through tales of feasting in the shadow of catastrophe, Bavli Gittin articulates striking concerns about the collateral costs of opulent wealth, calling attention to the way that extravagant luxury isolates and insulates those who dine at the fanciest tables from the gritty realities of violence and danger. Key moments in Bavli Gittin’s narrative center around food: the shame of Bar Qamtsa at a feast sparks his eventual betrayal of the Jews, the tale of Marta bat Boethus
