This chapter argues that Adam Smith shows us that the original and last foundation of law and order is the practice of making moral judgments—our emotional reactions to injustice and suffering we observe.

Therefore, the question of internationalization or even universalization of rights is not a matter of careful reasoning and convincing argumentation; it is a matter o

Abstract:
Abstract Sowing the Sacred traces the development of Mexican Pentecostalism in the context of migrant labor in California’s industrial agriculture from the 1920s to the 1960s. During this time period, many believed Pentecostalism to be a distasteful new sect rife with cultish and fanatical tendencies; U.S. growers thought that Mexicans were not fit to be citizens and were a mere workforce; and industrial agriculture was celebrated for feeding American families, but its exploitation of workers was largely ignored. Contrary to the image of farmworkers as culturally vacuous, lacking creative geni

Abstract:
What is a hangover? How does it feel to suffer from one? What can hangovers tell us about the way attitudes to alcohol have developed over time? Why have hangovers been neglected in our critical discussions of alcohol and intoxication in the humanities? This first scholarly study of the hangover in literature and culture sets out to answer each of these questions by exploring the representation of ‘the morning after’ in a wide variety of texts ranging from the Renaissance to the present day. The book argues that literature reveals hangovers are a cluster of physical symptoms, but also a comple

Abstract:
Slavery was a continuous presence throughout the Pre-Modern Era, roughly 500 CE to 1450 CE, an epoch where changes in geopolitical forces, demography, and cultural background all contributed to who could or could not be enslaved. At the same time, coercion as a way of life differed across socio-cultural and economic realities, ranging what are commonly termed chattel slaves and war captives, to sexual and domestic slaves. This volume destabilizes the deep-seated idea that during the so-called “Middle Age” between antiquity and modernity social and cultural relationships remained stagnant. Draw

Abstract:
The study highlights the origin of comparative tools and their use in the cultural spheres of historiography. It emphasizes that the comparative strategies and practices of classical historiography were largely based on the evolutionary and stage-specific foundations of the construction of the past; in particular, they imitated the cognitive models of natural science. The role of the romantic paradigm of nineteenth-century socio-humanitarian knowledge, which led to the constitution of comparative linguistics, comparative mythology, and comparative literature studies, has been considered.

A critical and insightful exploration of arguably the greatest television show of the twenty-first century. In the two decades since The Wire first aired, the show has only continued to grow in cultural relevance as America has seen domestic terrorism increase, race relations become ever tenser, political populism become increasingly sectarian, health inequalities worsen, incarceration rates for Black Americans skyrocket, and grassroots racial activism grow. In The Wire: A Cultural History, Ben Lamb explores how the twenty-first century’s greatest television show changed international percepti

Abstract:
Tracing the dissemination of Secessionist ideas of child creativity – from their origination in early-20th century Vienna through to their eventual commodification in postwar America – this book highlights the central role that visual art has played in child education and in nurturing creativity in elementary and preschool curricula. Taking the reader through the ideas of three artistic visionaries and their students – Franz Cižek, and Austrian-American émigrés Emmy Zweybrück and Viktor Löwenfeld – this book reveals how these ideas developed in postwar America through a focus on child-centered

Abstract:
One glaring lacuna in studies of Haitian Vodou is the scarcity of works exploring the connection between the religion and its main roots, traditional Yoruba religion. Discussions of Vodou very often seem to present the religion in vacuo, as a sui generis phenomenon that arose in Saint-Domingue and evolved in Haiti, with no antecedents. What is sorely needed then is more comparative studies of Haitian Vodou that would examine its connections to traditional Yoruba religion and thus illuminate certain aspects of its mythology, belief system, practices, and rituals. This book seeks to bridge these
