Full textAbstract:
While there were clear strategic aims in the way that marriages were made in the Howard dynasty during this period, the family was only unusual in that it operated at the very top of the aristocratic hierarchy and was therefore able to use marital alliances to successfully recover and bolster both status and finances. Where they were different, however, was in the experience of some of these women within marriage. By and large, the marriages made by and for members of the family, including women, seem to have been as successful as others of their class. However, three women close to the core of the dynasty experienced severe marital problems, even ‘failed’ marriages, almost simultaneously during the 1520s and 1530s. The records generated by these episodes tell us about the way in which the family operated as a whole, and the agency of women in this context, and this chapter therefore reconstructs these disputes for this purpose.

Full textAbstract:
By examining his writings, speeches, poetry and actions, as well as those of his contemporaries involved with the Liverpool Muslim community, this chapter explores Abdullah Quilliam’s relationship with gender roles and constructs. It considers his creative self-fashioning, for which he drew from both "Eastern" and "Western" influences in order to present a version of British Muslim masculinity characterized by sensitivity, chivalry, reverence for motherhood, and the pursuit of social justice. Quilliam believed that the limited polygamy, or more accurately polygyny, as sanctioned by the Qur’an, which he, in fact, practiced, not only benefited individuals and family life, but also strengthened nation and empire by encouraging population growth and thereby preventing degeneration and decay. In addition, Quilliam’s belief in the benefits of racial and cultural “miscegenation” became an issue of no small importance during a time when his critics and even officials in the British Home and Foreign Offices expressed concern that his willingness to perform “mixed marriages” posed a threat to national security.

Chambers, Clare. A Liberal Defence of Marriage? Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198744009.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers and rejects five potential liberal arguments in favour of marriage: arguments that, if successful, might work as public reasons for political liberals or might make marriage into an attractive account of human flourishing for perfectionist or comprehensive liberals. These arguments are (1) that marriage aids communication, enabling citizens to share information about their lives; (2) that marriage could be reformed to promote gender equality; (3) that marriage could protect care; (4) that marriage might be in the general interests of society; (5) that marriage might be in children’s interests. The chapter argues that, while these arguments do highlight legitimate public goods, they fail to show that state-recognized marriage is a necessary or acceptable way of achieving them.

Full textAbstract:
China’s technological precocity in iron manufacturing, transportation, maritime shipping and navigation, weaponry, market commercialization, and agriculture cannot be denied. Nor can it be denied that European industrialization borrowed extensively from Chinese practice. The problem, however, is that there was no energy revolution in China prior to the mid-nineteenth century, at which point Britain had outpaced China. The Chinese use of coal, petroleum, or natural gas, however early, did not constitute an energy revolution. Moreover, China’s expansion of iron production volume per se did not equate to an industrial revolution. What was needed for a breakthrough to sustained industrialization was the marriage of an energy transition and new technology that demanded greater energy inputs and yielded greater productivity as a consequence. China failed to achieve a full break from the constraints of the agrarian economy and this chapter is about why.

Full textAbstract:
This book examines the life of Samuel Wesley, the father of John and Charles Wesley, as a High Church parson in the Church of England. It examines a series of crises in Wesley’s life: his move from Dissent to the Church of England, his abandonment of James II in 1688, his failed ambitions as a parish priest, the imprisonment for debt in 1705, his problematic relations with his bishop and tumultuous marriage to Susanna Wesley, his support for the Tory Convocation measures in 1713 and the haunting of his rectory in Epworth by a poltergeist. Each of these aspects of Wesley’s life showed how awkward his continuing commitment to High Church Toryism was. The book argues that Wesley’s life demonstrates that the Revolution of 1688-9 was not a single event, but a long and protracted experience, reaching, in Wesley’s case, from 1685-1720. The Tory Crisis of Piety of this period was evidence of the Long Glorious Revolution.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the records of a murder trial that transfixed the nation, this book is a social history of 1870s Italy that develops a new paradigm for the history of emotions - the ‘emotional arena’. The decade following Italian unification formed a context of notable cultural variety and fluidity, and the experience and expression of emotions could be as variable as the regions making up the new nation. Through a close examination of a range of specific spaces in which lives, loves, and deaths unfolded – such as marital homes, places of socializing and entertainment, funerals, and a Roman courtroom – the book argues that social ‘arenas’ are crucial to the historical development of emotional cultural rules and styles. The narrative is driven by the failed marriage of a decorated but allegedly impotent Risorgimento soldier, his wife’s affair with a circus artiste (who had a string of previous lovers), and the illicit new couple’s murder of the husband. Hundreds of witnesses – from local professionals to servants and even circus clowns – interviewed across the length and breadth of the peninsula, left their personal views on marriage, love, sexuality, and infidelity. These provide a series of peepholes into little-known corners of the new nation’s social fabric. A careful yet imaginative reading of the prosecution records and contemporary newspaper coverage allows exploration of the highly emotional experiences generated by this story. The result is a classic Italian micro-history with surprising relevance for today’s emotionally volatile times.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reflects on the role of friendship in personal relations to see if this illuminates some issues concerning their regulation. It examines various historical perceptions of friendship, drawing lessons from Aristotle’s distinction between utilitarian and full friendship, and Montaigne’s comparison between friendship and marriage. The issue whether unmarried relationships should be regulated is approached by asking how these may be differentiated from friendship, which could be devalued if legally regulated. It is argued that it is justifiable to require friends to restore to one another what each put into their common wealth if the friendship fails. The concept of ‘friendship plus’—which includes marriage and sharing a life plan with another, usually through cohabitation in the same household, but possibly also when ‘living apart together’—is proposed as a justification for imposing a right to compensation in favour of someone disadvantaged by the termination of such a friendship.

Full textAbstract:
After another major battle, that of Pharsalus, the response of husband and wife is compared: the defeated Pompey and his wife Cornelia. The wife’s speech is more emotional and more densely rhythmic; the husband is in a sense philosophical, but in fact fails to grasp political and philosophical reality, as he blithely ignores entropy. Rhythm helps to point up his error. The characters are compared; they also have ideas of their own biography. It is likely that Plutarch is reshaping and developing a moment in Livy; his development of Livy can be compared with Lucan’s. Homer is also probably an important intertext for both Plutarch and Lucan, in his presentation of marriage and of people’s narrative conception of their own lives.

Full textAbstract:
A true story of vendetta and intrigue, triumph and tragedy, exile and repatriation in early modern Venice, this book focuses on the marriage between the feudal lord Count Girolamo Della Torre and Giulia Bembo, daughter of a powerful Venetian senator and grand-niece of Cardinal Pietro Bembo. Exiled to Crete for pursuing vendetta to avenge the murder of his father, Girolamo marries Giulia with the aim of enlisting her father as a powerful ally. Thus begins a challenging itinerary that leads from the Mediterranean back to Venice and its mainland territories in the Veneto and the Patria del Friuli. It plays out against a backdrop of the birth of ten children, the Council of Trent, papal and imperial politics, the rise of Girolamo’s brother Michele to the cardinalate, the Ottoman threat, and the golden age of Venetian art. Once a pawn in a marital strategy that failed, Giulia is celebrated after her death with the first independent biography of an ordinary woman published in Italy. The fortunes and misfortunes of the Della Torre bloodline, which survived the end of the Venetian Republic in 1797, are emblematic of a change in feudal culture from clan solidarity to individualism and intrafamily strife, and ultimately redemption. This epic tale opens a precious window into a contentious period in which Venetian republican values clash with the deeply rooted feudal traditions of honour and blood feuds of the mainland.

Full textAbstract:
Of the many composers in the Western classical tradition who celebrated the marriage between psyche and sound, those explored in this book followed the lines diverging from Wagner in philosophizing the nature of desire in music. This book offers two new theories of tonal functionality in the music of the first half of the twentieth century that seek to explain its psychological complexities. First, the book further develops Riemann’s three diatonic chord functions, extending them to account for chromatic chord progression and substitution. The three functions (tonic, subdominant, and dominant) are compared to Jacques Lacan’s twin concepts of metaphor and metonymy, which drive the apparatus of human desire. Second, the book develops a technique for analyzing the drives that pull chromatic music in multiple directions simultaneously, creating a libidinal surface that mirrors the tensions of the psyche found in Schopenhauer, Freud, and the post-Freudians Lacan, Lyotard, and Deleuze. The harmonic models are tested in psychologically challenging pieces of music by post-Wagnerian composers. From the obsession with death and mourning in Suk’s Asrael Symphony to an exploration of “perversion” in Strauss’s Elektra, from the post-Kantian transcendentalism of Ives’s Concord Sonata to the “Accelerationism” of Skryabin’s late piano works, and from the Sufi mysticism of Szymanowski’s Song of the Night to the failed fantasy of the American dream in Copland’s The Tender Land, the book cuts a path through the dense forests of chromatic complexity and digs deep into the psychological makeup of post-Wagnerian psychodynamic music.

Full textAbstract:
Get your head out of your @*&. Snowflake. You’re an idiot. Stupid liberal. Ignorant conservative. It can feel good to use a disparaging name and dismiss a divergent belief or opinion but it turns people off from genuine engagement. At best, feelings are hurt and family and friends decide to avoid political discussions altogether. Often social groups break apart. How can deliberative democracy survive if we can’t even speak to people with whom we disagree? The conventional wisdom to avoid talking about politics has to change. We need to talk to each other about American politics more, especially to those with whom we disagree. We just need to do it better. The antecedents of bitter political disagreements are well documented but less attention is paid to ways to improve things. Public opinion doesn’t change quickly on average but it does change: how people think and feel about LGBT rights, for example, saw a meteoric change over the last few decades. Supportive people from many different social and identity groups had conversations in ways that got people out of their echo chambers to see issues in new ways. The unprecedented attitude change toward marriage equality and LGBT rights is a compelling public opinion phenomenon and a roadmap for how to talk about other contentious issues. Relying on research spanning academic disciplines, A Change is Gonna Come identifies and explains where conversations fail and how we can start to dig out of our opinion silos to make reasonable changes in everyday, interpersonal political conversations.
