Abstract:
This chapter provides a detailed ethnographic account of the housing controversy in San Antón. It places particular emphasis on the racial and spatial coordinates that informed debate over its implementation, pointing to the problematic and contested deployment of scripts of nostalgia, homogeneity, matrifocality, harmony, and unchanging traditions that marked San Antón as an exceptional place of racialized difference. The controversy over housing showed the inadequacy of an approach that romanticized the community without considering the social relationships of power that shaped it and, more i

Abstract:
Current rapprochement strategies for medicine and spirituality are in tension with three distinct constituencies: skeptics, spiritual generalists, and religious particularists. Each constituency needs to compromise without losing its core values. Skeptics need to reconsider partnership with religion. Skeptics would gain by having an alliance with the social force of religions, which may alone can resist expanding market and bureaucratic forces. Spiritual generalists should move away from insisting that generic spirituality be accepted by all while still having a place at the table to advocate

Abstract:
This chapter argues that it is often impermissible to invite problematic speakers to campus. Opponents of campus speech codes often argue that it is important to invite problematic speakers in order to teach students resilience. On the contrary, I argue, if you know that their past or future behavior is both wrong and reflects accurately on their current attitudes or dispositions, it is impermissible to invite them. To do so can require you to stand in solidarity with the problematic speaker and thereby stand against—to betray—those who have been or will be victimized by their speech or behavi

Domiciles ordinarily represent the first space that humans occupy, structures through which they begin to realize their own being and relation to the larger world. It is also in and through houses that humans may first experience themselves as souls, gaining sacramental intimations of a spirituality mediated through yet also beyond the materiality of their primal shelter. This chapter reflects on the diverse ways in which house structures, even as they are stationed in space, play a critical role in the spiritual journeying of writers such as Henry Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Harriet Bee

Abstract:
Roughly coinciding with the onset of the commodity price boom of the 2000s was an influx of financial investment in commodity derivatives. This ‘financialization’ has given rise to debates regarding the potential influence of investors on commodity prices. This chapter examines these debates and places them within the context of the wider scholarship on financialization. It argues that critiques of financialization are problematic in several important respects. They are underpinned by long-standing suspicions and misconceptions of derivatives trading as a socially unproductive or harmful activ

Ancient Romans frequently encountered buildings under construction—they experienced noisy building work, disruptive transportation of materials, and sometimes spectacular engineering feats.

Roman authors tell stories of architectural creation to give meaning to finished monuments. Their narratives can stress technological or logistic mastery or h

Abstract:
In evolutionary biology, there is a mode of thinking which is quite common, and philosophically significant. This is ‘agential thinking’. In its paradigm case, agential thinking involves treating an evolved organism as if it were an agent pursuing a goal, such as survival and reproduction, and treating its phenotypic traits, including its behaviours, as strategies for achieving this goal. Less commonly, the entities that are treated as agent-like are genes or groups, rather than individual organisms.

These two previously untranslated texts tell the stories of married women whose piety causes them to be separated from their husbands and children.

Adolescence is the time between the beginning of sexual maturation and adulthood, typically bounded by the ages of 13 to 19 years. One construct that holds a central place in many theories of development and psychopathology is impulsivity. Impulsivity has been considered to play an important role in normal behavior as well as linked to several problematic behaviors that are present or arise during adolescence. Impulsivity, considered to be a multidimensional construct, has been defined and measured in a variety of ways. This chapter will discuss the definitions of impulsivity, measurement (inc

The idea that states have discretion in complying with their human rights obligations, and the idea that human rights obligations should be compatible with a degree of diversity between states, are either trivial or misleading.

Abstract:
Bauen in Europa, insbesondere in Deutschland, ist stark von Richtlinien und Regelwerken geprägt. Dabei wird vielen Normen eine größere Bedeutung zugemessen als sie in Wirklichkeit besitzen. Gerade bei Bestandsgebäuden können sie oftmals nicht angewandt werden, da sie sich in aller Regel auf neu zu errichtende Gebäude beziehen. Diese Tatsache stellt den Planer vor Herausforderungen, da Gebäude saniert werden müssen, die weder der heute gültigen Normung entsprechen noch danach saniert werden können, aber weiter genutzt werden sollen.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the nature of partnership and connection in ballroom dance as well as the convention of leading and following. In particular, it explains how ballroom dance provides an opportunity to bring coherence to the sensuous life, a coherence that is tested by the contradictory expectations placed upon Regent dancers as middle-class, heterosexual men and women in twenty-first-century America. The chapter first describes how men and women relate to one another on and off the dance floor before discussing the “princess factor” in ballroom dance. It also considers the rhetorical and

Abstract:
In this chapter, compulsion is presented in a broader context of ‘treatment pressures’. A hierarchy of pressures is presented, each increment moving in a more coercive direction. It comprises persuasion; interpersonal leverage; inducements; threats; and compulsion. The last has been dealt with in previous chapters. The distinction between inducements and threats turns on whether rejecting a conditional proposal—if you do X, I will do Y; if you don’t, I will do Z—results in the subject being ‘worse off’ or not according to a ‘moral baseline’. Threats involve proposals making the person worse of

Abstract:
In The Anti-Heroine on Contemporary Television: Transgressive Women, Molly Brost explores the various applications and definitions of the term anti-heroine, showing that it has been applied to a wide variety of female characters on television that have little in common beyond their failure to behave in morally “correct” and traditionally feminine ways. Rather than dismiss the term altogether, Brost employs the term to examine what types of behaviors and characteristics cause female characters to be labeled anti-heroines, how those qualities and behaviors differ from those that cause men to be

Abstract:
It is said that the ontology of data resists slowness and also that the digital revolution promised a levelling of the playing field. Both theories are examined in this timely collection of chapters looking at time in the digital world. Since data has assumed such a paramount place in the modern neoliberal world, contemporary concepts of time have undergone radical transformation. By critically assessing the emerging initiatives of slowing down in the digital age, this book investigates the role of the digital in ultimately reinforcing neo-liberal temporalities. It shows that both "speed-up" a

Abstract:
This chapter enriches the Expanded PHI perspective through the lens of complexity. Current technical health systems and institutional developments, including the increasing inter-connections between them, and the uncertainities associated with both context and goals are enhancing complexity exponentially. Simple linear approaches to design and develop systems can no longer work, as they imply trying to bring order into processes which by definition defy them. Cloud computing and big data are offered as examples to depict this rising complexity, providing rich opportunities to materialize them.

Abstract:
Abstract Chapter 1 opens by surveying Schumann’s dynamic view of history, which posits an interdependent relationship between past, present, and future—a global theme of the book. The chapter introduces the Leipzig chamber repertory, its understudied status, and the special place it holds in Schumann’s progression as a composer. It explores the reception of these works, especially the long-held viewpoint that these works are more traditional and “objective” when measured against Schumann’s youthful, experimental output. The chapter explains why such a perception is problematic: it discourages
