Abstract:

The most significant shift in the wartime and postwar history of the Hollywood producer was the rise of women. Joan Harrison and Virginia Van Upp are best known, but little has been written about the producing careers of Harriet Parsons, Helen Rathvon, Ruth Herbert, Frances Manson, Ginger and Lela Rogers, Constance Bennett, Joan Bennett, Helen Deutsch, Jane Murfin, Theresa Helburn, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Kay Francis, and Rita Hayworth. Together with Mary Pickford, longtime partner of United Artists Studios, and Ida Lupino, actress turned writer-director-producer, they formed a formidable contingent of women who sought to redefine and re-energize the creative role of the producer. Many of these women combined screenwriting, editing, acting, and producing duties. During the war years, two factors advanced women’s executive roles in Hollywood: women outnumbered men in the United States and public and cross-party support for the Equal Rights Amendment was at its peak.

Abstract:

The Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) approach became widely known through the collective volume by Peter Hall and David Soskice that investigates the cross-national institutional variations of advanced economies. They distinguish two ideal types of capitalism: the Liberal Market Economy (LME) model following neoclassical economics and the Coordinated Market Economy (CME) with a consensus-enhancing institutional infrastructure between firms as well as employers and unions. This chapter introduces the approach, summarizes the main contributions along key institutional spheres, and discusses applications of its comparative typology. Furthermore, it criticizes the initially rather static and apolitical approach which led to subsequent revisions and extensions. The recent financial and economic crisis has deepened the controversy over the fate of coordinated market economies subject to institutional changes resulting from intensified global economic pressures and transnational diffusion of liberalization.

Abstract:

Studying Japan is the first comprehensive guide on qualitative methods, research designs and fieldwork in social science research on Japan. More than 70 Japan scholars from around the world provide an easy-to-read overview on qualitative methods used in research on Japan’s society, politics, culture and history. The book covers the entire research process from the outset to the completion of a thesis, a paper, or a book. The authors provide basic introductions to individual methods, discuss their experiences when applying these methods and highlight current trends in research on Japan. The book serves as a foundation for a course on qualitative research methods and is, but can also be used as a reference for all researchers in Japanese Studies, the Social Sciences and Area Studies. It is an essential reading for students and researchers with an interest in Japan! With contributions by: Chapter: Celeste L.

Abstract:

This book is the first anthology of perspectives on the future of text, one of our most important mediums for thinking and communicating, with a Foreword by the co-inventor of the Internet, Vint. Cerf and a Postscript by the founder of the modern Library of Alexandria, Ismail Serageldin. In a time with astounding developments in computer special effects in movies and the emergence of powerful AI, text has developed little beyond spellcheck and blue links. In this work we look at myriads of perspectives to inspire a rich future of text through contributions from academia, the arts, business and technology. We hope you will be as inspired as we are as to the potential power of text truly unleashed.

Abstract:

In Chapter 1 we clarify and make precise a number of the key notions that will be used in the rest of the book—most notably those of content and narrowness. There is also a substantial critical discussion of the thesis that ‘character’, in something like David Kaplan’s sense, is narrow, instead of content. This discussion is the chapter’s main original contribution.

Abstract:

This chapter introduces some of the key concepts of the monograph. In particular, it shows that Adam Smith is committed to being both a systematic philosopher and a responsible public thinker. It distinguishes among different ways in which Smith is systematic and understood systematicity. It draws on the ideas of David Hume and Bishop Berkeley to contextualize Smith’s views on these subjects. The chapter includes a summary of the book, a brief bibliographic survey, and an account of the methodology of the book.

Abstract:

Die Klimakrise spitzt sich zu, der Klimawandel wird immer stärker spürbar. Warum gelingt es vielfach trotzdem nicht, dringend notwendige Eindämmungsmaßnahmen einzuleiten und zu handeln? Die Autorinnen und Autoren beleuchten aus psychologischer und interdisziplinärer Sicht die Hindernisse, die einer produktiven Auseinandersetzung mit der Krise im Wege stehen. Sie bieten Inspirationen für den Umgang mit den Herausforderungen des Klimawandels und stellen Grundideen für ein konstruktives und kollektives Handeln dar. Dabei denken sie individuelles Handeln auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene und zeigen, dass jede*r in der Klimakrise wirksam werden und dabei gesund bleiben kann.

Chaney, Michael A. Introduction. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199390205.003.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

This introduction reviews the history and biography of David Drake and establishes key questions addressed in the remainder of the collection. The collection as a whole asks: Who is Dave? How do the subjects in his work fuse with and refuse the objects conveying them? Chaney understands Dave’s work in terms of a material poetics that the volume sets out to investigate. After introducing the key questions of the collection, Chaney analyzes the inscription on one of Dave’s pots from 1840, contextualizing the couplet in light of other scholarship on slavery’s rupture and the problem of subaltern vocality. He concludes with a postscript that reconsiders Dave in the face of our political present and provides a series of chapter summaries.

Abstract:

Hollywood employed legions of organization women during the studio system, from stenographers to producers; none of them simply took dictation. These white-collar organization women worked as executive secretaries, assistants to the vice president in charge of production, heads of scenario, heads of research, independent publicists, technical advisers, readers, screenwriters, and agents. The range of work, managerial and creative, knew few boundaries for women with the drive to succeed, but these women had an easier time working with producers and studio heads Harry Cohn, Irving Thalberg, Darryl F. Zanuck, and David O. Selznick. But, with the economic decline of the system and the political purges of the blacklist, by the mid-1950s, there was no time for comedy or much girlish laughter at the top. The chapter focuses on the careers of Silvia Schulman, Kay Brown, Dorothy Hechtlinger, Eve Ettinger, Marguerite Roberts, Ida Koverman, and Anita Colby.

Abstract:

After her husband’s death in 1984 and retirement from INSEAD Edith enjoyed the resurgence of interest in her work and its increasing influence on aspects of economic, business, and management theory and on a younger generation of economists, many of whom visited her at her home near Cambridge. The chapter examines the influence of her seminal ideas on some key protagonists of the ‘resource-based view of the firm’, e.g. David Teece, Birger Wernerfelt, J. C. Spender, and Jay Barney. Due to her understanding of the international firm, in particular the oil industry, she undertook consultancies pertaining to arbitration between oil companies and national governments.

Full text

Abstract:

Part II of II: This chapter explores philosophical responses to Cartesian dualism—notably Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s elaboration of phenomenology—and its relevance to medicine. With close reading of Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception, phenomenology’s attentiveness to lived experience and to embodiment is described. Next, discussion of the work of philosophers, clinicians, ethicists and patients—including Havi Carel, S. Kay Toombs, Richard Baron, Edmund Pellegrino, Richard Zaner, and Fredrik Svenaeus—demonstrates the influence of phenomenological perspectives in healthcare, addressing the dissociation and alienation often experienced by clinicians and patients alike. Counter-examples to the philosophical narrative presented here are then offered, demonstrating the rich complexity of philosophical enquiry. The chapter closes with a brief discussion of the poem “Soul” by David Ferry, which offers a means of approaching the age-old issue of the relationship between body, mind, and spirit. Thus the authors argue that philosophical understanding—particularly in combination with literature—offers particular insight into the challenges and possibilities of healthcare today.

Full text

Abstract:

The prologue describes the methods and sources that underpin the biography. Principal among these are the recently consolidated and extensive Cicely Saunders’s archives at King’s College London. Also key to the work is a decade of practical collaboration between Cicely Saunders and David Clark in the last years of her life, during which Professor Clark undertook some twenty interviews with her, in preparation for writing a posthumous biography. They also collaborated on published volumes of her letters and selected writings. In addition, Professor Clark draws on his own extensive oral history archive, that includes interviews with many of Saunders’s contemporaries and associates. This section serves as a ‘frame’ for the biography and clarifies the key goals: to understand Cicely Saunders’s life and contribution to hospice and palliative care and to make sense of the dynamic interplay between her personal experience and the wider development of the field.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter examines the construction of David Macbeth Moir (1798–1851), a prolific Blackwoodian author and surgeon, as a medical poet, by himself and others, both within Blackwood’s and beyond, as a key component of a redemptive counter-discourse of medical humanism. The idealistic image of the ‘humanistic’ literary medical man is read as developing, in part, as a counter to the negative cultural representations of medicine exacerbated by the anatomy murders as well as the growing divisions between medico-scientific and literary cultures and the perceived negative consequences of the ‘march of intellect’. Moir’s place within a tradition of literary medical men in Scotland and his role in debates surrounding the reform of medical education are discussed, as are key projects, including essays published in Blackwood’s and Fraser’s Magazine for Town and Country, his Outlines of the Ancient History of Medicine (1831), and his poetry.

Full text

Abstract:

The chapter offers a reading of Wordsworth’s “I wandered lonely as a Cloud.” It reviews standard readings of this canonical poem, all built upon a premise of dialectical subject formation. In lieu of that approach, the interpretation developed here emphasizes the emergence of singularity out of multiplicity. It is governed by a structure of thought developed by Spinoza and present-day commentators, and by reference to an early nineteenth-century theory of cloud formation. The discussion of singularity and multiplicity is rooted in number theory. Key resources for this reading are, in addition to Spinoza, mathematician Georg Cantor, physicist David Bohm, and contemporary cultural theorists William Connolly, Luke Howard, Warren Montag, and Tim Morton.

Abstract:

The History of Jazz, 3rd edition, is a comprehensive survey of jazz music from its origins until the current day. The book is designed for general readers and students, as well as those with more specialized interest in jazz and music history. It provides detailed biographical information and an overview of the musical contributions of the key innovators in development of jazz, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, and others. The book also traces the evolution of jazz styles and includes in-depth accounts of ragtime, blues, New Orleans jazz, Chicago jazz, swing and big band music, bebop, hard bop, cool jazz, avant-garde, jazz-rock fusion, and other subgenres and developments. The volume also provides a cultural and socioeconomic contextualization of the music, dealing with the broader political and social environment that gave birth to the music and shaped its development—both in the United States and within a global setting.

Abstract:

The goal of this chapter is to provide an introduction to the context, the key terms, and some essential verses in the Bhagavad Gītā (BhG), a text that is indispensable to understanding the Hindu traditions of theology and culture, as well as Indian civilization more broadly. The BhG is used widely in core text programs, in introductions to world religion, and with increasing frequency in courses on comparative theology, with the goal to widen the understanding of students of religion and theology in a global context. The BhG can also be discussed as influential on modern American and European thought since it inspired people as diverse as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, T. S. Eliot, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and the Wachowski Brothers.

This chapter provides a historical background to the outpouring of African American protest in wartime St. Louis. In May 1942, A. Philip Randolph and Milton Webster called a meeting at the St. Louis YWCA, during which they proposed that a local March on Washington Movement (MOWM) unit be established. T. D. McNeal, David Grant, Sallie Parham, Nita Blackwell, and Jordan Chambers are introduced as pioneers of protest in this upstart organization. When available, biographical information of key MOWM supporters illustrates how participating in wartime protests fitted within the arc of an individual's life. There was no singular path toward MOWM, but the people who associated with this organization shared an optimism that the war presented an opportune moment to effectively challenge Jim Crow's insidious multiplicity of forms.

Abstract:

Following teenage schooling at Roedean, the late 1930s saw Cicely Saunders begin studies in politics, philosophy, and economics at Oxford just before the outbreak of the Second World War. The chapter proceeds through her eventual decision to abandon her degree and train as a nurse in London and describes her wartime work, her deepening religious life, and the eventual switch (following a back injury) from nursing to social work — as a hospital almoner. It explores the family reactions to these decisions and experiences. Key to the chapter is a critical exploration of the foundational story about her encounter in 1948 with the dying Jewish émigré David Tasma whilst working at the London Hospital. This precipitated a growing curiosity about the care of the dying — and the crucial decision in her early thirties to read Medicine.

Abstract:

The introduction uses the Freedom Rides to set up the book’s discussion of our responsibilities in the face of injustice. It highlights the following gap between theory and practice: on the one hand, philosophers concerned with the rights and duties of citizens often defend a moral duty to obey the law, and consider civil disobedience in terms of permission or right only. On the other hand, activists from Henry David Thoreau to Black Lives Matter have long appealed to a responsibility to resist injustice. The introduction takes seriously both the traditional notion of political obligation and activists’ appeals by outlining a duty to resist injustice, and insisting it is among our political obligations. This chapter also presents the book’s key concepts: injustice, oppression, ideology, legitimacy, resistance, principled disobedience, and civil and uncivil disobedience.

Abstract:

Recent philosophical work on divine action has been undertaken carefully and in a sustained manner by Process theologians. Thus the central aim of this chapter is to articulate and evaluate the salient options on offer with respect to divine action and agency in the Process tradition. Though Chapter 3 dealt with the work of Schubert Ogden, a key player in the Process tradition, Ogden did not draw upon the foundations of the Process tradition in his account of divine action. The author engages the work of David R. Griffin, who has provided one of the more thorough accounts of divine action in the Process tradition. He examines how Griffin handles the issue of divine action, and argues that the Process tradition faces formidable difficulties conceptually and theologically in that matter.

Abstract:

This chapter examines signs of life in the midst of the rule of death that pervades the book of Kings. It begins with an overview of the major content of Kings, focusing on some key characters, such as King David, Solomon, and the prophets Elijah and Elisha. It then turns to the specter of death that hovers over the book of Kings, in which an abnormal number of characters are violently killed, politically assassinated, painfully dismembered, or otherwise depart from the narrative in suspicious or ignominious ways. It also considers the sense of confinement at the beginning of the book of Kings and how the city of Jerusalem came under siege, poised for demolition at the hands of the Babylonians. The chapter concludes by describing the end of the book of Kings, in which King Jehoiachin of Judah is released from prison.

Abstract:

This chapter presents a commentary on David Lynch's film career. It focuses on how plastic is the prime matter of his filmmaking, essential to his understanding of cinema. It takes up plasticity's capacity for infinite transformation as an architectural and design dynamic, a feature of mise-enscène, and a mode of fashioning and psychologizing cinematic space. It then explores the emotional registers of plasticity, attempting to explain a key affective paradox in Lynch's work: the way it seems both so manifestly insincere and so emotionally powerful, so impersonal and so intense. Finally, it considers Lynch's persistent tendency to think of forms of media and forms of life as related species. Here, plastic is useful for conceptualizing his picture of the human organism as malleable and heterogeneous. The films examined in this chapter include Eraserhead (1977), The Elephant Man (1980), and Lost Highway (1997).

Abstract:

This chapter considers the representation of impasse in three novels by Ingrid Winterbach, widely fêted in South Africa as one of its leading Afrikaans-language writers: Die boek van toeval en toeverlaat (2006; The Book of Happenstance, 2008); Die benederyk (2010; The Road of Excess, 2014); Die aanspraak van lewende wesens (2012; It Might Get Loud, 2015). It discusses the forms of precarious life at issue in these texts, and tests the usefulness of work by Lauren Berlant (on the ‘cruel optimism’ of neoliberal social life; on the cultural forms—including the ‘situation tragedy’—that reflect it) and David Scott (on the tragic nature of post-utopian postcolonial politics) for reading it. This chapter introduces a key concern of the book, the intertextuality through which its writers participate in local and global conversations (here involving J.M. Coetzee and Don DeLillo).

Abstract:

The intertextuality of John Rolland’s Court of Venus, announced in its opening quotation and subsequent displays of scholarship and poetic skill, is central to the poet-narrator’s self-construction as a man improved by studying literature. However, the extent of Rolland’s reading is obscured by his unacknowledged use of key sources, including dictionaries, to populate his poem with Classical figures and cultivate a learned diction. While this might be read as pretension to a literary elite Rolland associates with the bygone court of David Lyndsay, the moral vision of his poem is greatly enlarged by its attempt to align such bookish learning with knowledge gained through experience—foregrounded by allusion to Chaucer’s Wife of Bath. In this way The Court of Venus models an urbane, knowing morality working towards wisdom and self-governance while recognizing the diversity, and disruptive desire, of human nature.

Abstract:

This is the first book of its kind — an introduction to the history, development, and features of English-language prose poetry, an increasingly important and popular literary form that is still too little understood and appreciated. The book introduces prose poetry's key characteristics, charts its evolution from the nineteenth-century to the present, and discusses many historical and contemporary prose poems that both demonstrate their great diversity around the Anglophone world and show why they represent some of today's most inventive writing. A prose poem looks like prose but reads like poetry: it lacks the line breaks of other poetic forms but employs poetic techniques, such as internal rhyme, repetition, and compression. The book explains how this form opens new spaces for writers to create riveting works that reshape the resources of prose while redefining the poetic. Discussing prose poetry' s precursors, including William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman, and prose poets such as Charles Simic, Russell Edson, Lydia Davis, and Claudia Rankine, the book pays equal attention to male and female prose poets, documenting women's essential but frequently unacknowledged contributions to the genre. Revealing how prose poetry tests boundaries and challenges conventions to open up new imaginative vistas, this is an essential book for all readers, students, teachers, and writers of prose poetry.

Full text

Abstract:

A crucial question for a process view of life is how to identify a process and how to follow it through time. The genidentity view (first proposed by Kurt Lewin and later elaborated by Hans Reichenbach) can contribute decisively to this project. It says that the identity through time of an entity X is given by a well-identified series of continuous states of affairs. Genidentity helps address the problem of diachronic identity in the living world. This chapter describes the centrality of the concept of genidentity for David Hull and proposes an extension of Hull’s view to the ubiquitous phenomenon of symbiosis. Finally, using immunology as a key example, it shows that the genidentity view suggests that the main interest of a process approach is epistemological rather than ontological and that its principal claim is one of priority, namely that processes precede and define things, and not vice versa.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the nineteenth-century discourse on myth and its influence on Christian theological and cultural debate from the 1790s to the eve of the First World War. After preliminary comments on the eighteenth century, it examines five ‘key’ moments in this history: the Romantic idea of a ‘new mythology’ (focusing on Friedrich Schelling); the ‘religious’ turn in myth scholarship c.1810 (Friedrich Creuzer); debates over the role of myth in the gospels (focusing on David Strauss and Christian Weisse); theories of language and race and their impact on myth scholarship; and Arthur Drews’ The Christ Myth and the debate over the historicity of Jesus. This chapter argues that the discourse on myth (in Germany and elsewhere) was closely bound to the categories and assumptions of Christian theology, reproducing them even as it undermined the authority of the Bible, the clergy, and the churches.

Abstract:

This essay explores philosophical and theological frameworks for the development in Christianity of notions of “head” religion and “heart” religion. Such notions are the product of a complex and sustained historical interplay of ideas about the soul, body, matter, spirit, thinking, acting, and feeling. While not exclusively the province of Christianity, ideologies of head and heart in religion nevertheless have developed distinctive forms within the Christian cultures of the West, changing over time and leading, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, to an engagement with scientific theories of emotion. In discussing head and heart, this essay focuses on Apollo, the Greek god of reason, and Dionysius, son of Zeus and Bacchus. The essay also looks at representative key historical figures and their theories, namely, Plato, Aristotle, and Augustine as well as Thomas Aquinas, Rene Descartes, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Edmund Husserl.
