Farfán, Ana Patricia. San Miguel the Arcángel, Capitan of Many Troops. Edited by Anthony Shay and Barbara Sellers-Young. Oxford University Press, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199754281.013.025.
Full textAbstract:
St. Michael the Archangel is a biblical icon the Spanish brought to Mexico during the sixteenth century. He was used for evangelization as part of a religious discourse incorporating icons as its principal tool, strongly impacting indigenous people. Considered a leader of God’s armies fighting against evil, Michael became the patron saint of soldiers. Danza de Migueles is a Mexican ritual dance-drama about the fight between good and evil, still performed each year by Nahuas and Totonacas indigenous people of Puebla and Veracruz. It reinvents the military attributes of a Catholic icon within the frame of Mesoamerican religions, shaping indigenous identity with new ways of cultural resistance. This chapter addresses changes and reinterpretations that St. Michael’s iconography underwent when placed in a dancing context and how it has served the Nahuas from Tzinacapan in building their identity as a distinct ethnic group in contemporary Mexico.

Domínguez, Virginia R., and Jane C. Desmond, eds. Michael Titlestad on Solli and Condry. University of Illinois Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/illinois/9780252040832.003.0028.
Full textAbstract:
This essay takes Solli’s and Condry’s essays as examples of possibilities worth emulating. Both essays, Titlestad argues, are refined instances of a refusal to adopt simple dialectical or bilateral understandings or analyses. Both describe the use of aspects of “American” culture (country and rap music respectively, as well as their social-symbolic architecture) in dynamic processes of triangulation that link their origins (in the United States), their destinations (Norway and Japan respectively), and third terms demarcated by the context and political priorities of performers and their publics. Titlestad is interested in a question he sees both essays fundamentally asking, namely, how particular communities put aspects of U.S. culture to work. In both essays, Titlestad argues, the work entails a redefinition, a resetting, indeed a productive consumption of cultural practice, something Titlestad prefers to think of as some form of improvisation but that still captures the need to complicate any sense of bilateralism. Clearly, Titlestad argues, the particular Norwegian and Japanese communities and subcultures described in the essays by Solli and Condry are embroiled in transnational imaginaries in which “America” already circulates as shorthand for a number of contemporary ideological proclivities.

Full textAbstract:
The metaphor of the ‘invisible hand’ not only characterises Smith’s understanding of competitive processes in free markets but also his theory of political liberalism. Smithʼs theory of economic and political liberalism is based on the assumption of autonomous processes in the development of morality, laws and the social order. These processes lead to a natural harmony of individual interests in politics and economics. However, Smith does not associate these ideas with the demand for a minimal state. Instead, he assigns the state a much more active role than is generally assumed. The analyses in this book of Smith’s reception by authors in the 19th century (in the US and Germany) and of his relevance for current analyses of political challenges show that the question of which conditions need to be fulfilled to ensure the stability of liberal societies is still a crucial one in political philosophy and science.

Although Parliament had officially closed the London commercial stages in 1642 and many of the old theaters including the Globe and the King’s Masquing House were destroyed, throughout the Commonwealth period illicit performances continued. Newsbooks record raids on illicit performances in the remaining theatres. The 1650s also saw an increase in printed play texts, often expressing royalist sympathies Many of the actors including Michael Mohun and Charles Hart served in the King’s army. Entertainments were still performed in private houses, schools, and universities. Towards the end of the Commonwealth, William Davenant was permitted to stage ‘operas’ or moral representations.

This chapter discusses the landmark paper ‘Neuronal plasticity: increasing the gain in pain’, published by Woolf and Salter in 2000. Excellent review articles not only give a concise overview of a topic but also provide a framework for future research. In 2000, Clifford Woolf and Michael Salter joined forces to write one of the most highly cited review articles in the field of pain research and thus provided a conceptual framework for the plastic changes that occur in nociceptive neurons in response to chronic pain. With over 2,700 citations, this review is one of those rare articles that is still appreciated by pain researchers across domains.

Hofmann, Michael. Messing About in Boats. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198848042.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The title—borrowed from The Wind in the Willows—is here re-purposed to cover four talks (the 2019 Clarendon Lectures) on four poems about boats; the ‘messing about’ is done by the poet and critic Michael Hofmann. In amiable, associative, exploratory terms, the writer discusses Rainer Maria Rilke’s ‘Emigrant Ship (Naples)’, Arthur Rimbaud’s ‘Drunken Ship’, Eugenio Montale’s ‘Boats on the Marne’, and Karen Solie’s ‘The World’. The suggestion is that there is a sort of symbolic equivalence between boat and poem, that the terms in which we think of boats and voyages are just as applicable to poets and poetry. The different boats, the different voyages, the different poems elicit an array of subtle, informative, and surprising responses. Taken as a whole, the lectures are four instances in how poetry, even across languages and translations, may still be read for enjoyment.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers two questions that many people ask themselves (or should ask themselves). What is actually the difference between Nanosyntax (NS, Starke, 2009) and Distributed Morphology (DM, Halle and Marantz, 1993)? And which one of them is right? These questions remain as important now as they were some 15 years ago, when Michal Starke introduced the basics of the NS theory. Despite the fact that several written sources on NS have been available since 2007, there is still a lot of confusion about what NS actually is, and how NS and DM compare to each other. The present paper is an attempt to clear things up.

Full textAbstract:
Friedrich Naumann (1860–1919) is one of the most exciting figures in German politics: a liberal champion of democracy, social policy, women’s emancipation and church reform, as well as a pioneer of political education—and at the same time a monarchist, patriot and fierce critic of his time. Many political and social trends of the early 20th century came together in the pastor and later leftist liberal party leader. His approaches to solving the problems of a highly industrialised society had a long-lasting effect and still evoke controversy when discussed today. This volume offers both an introduction to and new perspectives on his world of ideas; it is aimed at experts, students and all those interested in Naumann in equal measure. With contributions by Philippe Alexandre, Birgit Bublies-Godau, Norbert Friedrich, Jürgen Frölich, Ewald Grothe, Christoph Jahr, Wolther von Kieseritzky, Ursula Krey, Frank-Michael Kuhlemann, Anne C. Nagel, Ulrich Sieg, Ines Soldwisch and Peter Theiner.

It begins with “love” and ends with “AIDS,” but, in between, Simone de Beauvoir’s last piece of writing, her preface to Mihloud, is only a brief summary of the book. By agreeing to place her name on the cover of this memoir, whose author’s name is conspicuously absent, Beauvoir called attention to two related issues that were still considered virtually unmentionable in 1980s France: same-sex relations between men and the disease that was decimating the gay community. (For example, the cause of Michel Foucault’s death in 1984 was initially listed as septicemia and only later revealed as AIDS.) If Beauvoir did not interpret “Alan’s” text or even situate it in its history, she nonetheless helped make it available to a general audience....

Jelly-Schapiro, Eli. Security and Terror. University of California Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/california/9780520295377.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
When in 1492 Christopher Columbus set out for Asia but instead happened on the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola, his error inaugurated a specifically colonial modernity. This is, Security and Terror contends, the colonial modernity within which we still live. And its enduring features are especially vivid in the current American century, a moment marked by a permanent War on Terror and pervasive capitalist dispossession. Resisting the assumption that September 11, 2001, constituted a historical rupture, Eli Jelly-Schapiro traces the political and philosophic genealogies of security and terror—from the settler-colonial conquest of the New World to the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond. A history of the present crisis, Security and Terror also examines how that history is registered and reckoned with in significant works of fiction and theory. In critical dialogue with novels by Teju Cole, Mohsin Hamid, Junot Díaz, and Roberto Bolaño, and the theoretical interventions of Jean Baudrillard, Giorgio Agamben, Judith Butler, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, and others, Jelly-Schapiro reveals how the erasure of colonial history enables the perpetual reproduction of colonial culture.

Full textAbstract:
Jugendkriminalität und delinquente Grenzüberschreitungen treten zu allen Zeiten in unterschiedlichsten gesellschaftlichen Formationen auf. Die Aufgabe der (Psychoanalytischen) Pädagogik besteht darin, ein angemessenes Verständnis für die Lebenssituation der Jugendlichen zu finden, das adäquate pädagogische Antworten fernab von überzogenen Strafbedürfnissen, fahrlässigem Wegsehen und kontextfreier individueller Adressierung ermöglicht. Denn gesellschaftliche Verwerfungen haben einen erheblichen Anteil daran, dass notwendige Sozialisationsleistungen misslingen. Vor diesem Hintergrund zeigen die Autorinnen und Autoren, wie wichtig es ist, in der Pädagogik das Phänomen Jugenddelinquenz als ein sozial bedingtes und mit individuellen Konflikten verwobenes Problem zu verstehen, das aufgrund der Biografie und Sozialisationsgeschichte bis in die Tiefenschicht der psychosozialen Integrität hineinreichen kann. Die Voraussetzung für eine (pädagogische) Beziehungsgestaltung ist daher, die innere Konflikthaftigkeit, die strukturellen Besonderheiten der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, Bindungserfahrungen und mögliche Traumatisierungen mit den entsprechenden Folgen zu berücksichtigen.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary work on ontology, logic, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of science, and philosophy of language still owes much to W.V. Quine. Nevertheless his views are now often dismissed because of mistaken or overly simplified conceptions of his philosophy. The development of his views over time are often overlooked, and in particular the growing importance of a kind of structuralism to his system as it evolved. This volume provides a fuller, richer picture of Quine’s views and their development. It is the first to investigate Quine’s views on structure and how it permeates and shapes his attitude to a range of philosophical questions. It includes contributions by world-famous philosophers and experts in a range of subfields including philosophical logic, philosophy of language, history of philosophy, mathematics, philosophy of time, and set theory. Chapters by Michael Resnik, Frederique Janssen-Lauret and Fraser MacBride, John Collins, Jaroslav Peregrin, and Paul Gregory explore whether Quine’s structuralism is epistemological, language-based, or ontological. Greg Frost-Arnold, Robert Sinclair, and Gary Kemp and Andrew Lugg explore Quine’s views on structure from a historical point of view. Nathan Salmón, Gila Sher, Marianna Antonutti Marfori, and Natalja Deng consider Quine’s views on the structure of logic, language, and theories in relation to contemporary philosophy, specifically ontology, the philosophy of logic and mathematics, philosophy of set theory, and philosophy of time.

AUTHORUbfal, Diego; Arráiz, Irani; Beuermann, Diether; Frese, Michael; Maffioli, Alessandro; Verch, DanielDATEMar 2021DOWNLOAD:English (0 downloads)DOIhttp://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003182There has been growing interest in approaches to business training that incorporate insights from psychology to develop soft skills associated with successful entrepreneurship. The empirical evidence on their success, however, is still inconclusive. This study designs and evaluates two training programs focusing on soft skills, which are adapted to the Jamaican context. The first program provides soft-skills training on personal initiative, including the development of a proactive mindset and perseverance after setbacks. The second program combines soft-skills training on personal initiative with traditional training on hard skills aimed at changing business practices. Both programs are evaluated using a randomized controlled trial design involving 945 entrepreneurs in Jamaica. Findings indicate positive effects of the intensive soft-skills training, but not of the training combining soft and hard skills, on business outcomes (i.e., sales and profits) in the short-term (i.e., three months after the implementation of the trainings). The positive short-term effects of the soft-skills training are concentrated among men and are not significant for women. These effects, however, vanish when measured 12 months after the trainings. Nonetheless, the soft-skills training show persistent positive effects on some targeted soft skills, which are measured with both self-reported and incentivized measures.

Full textAbstract:
This overview of the history of Canadian comics explores not only the few Canadian cartoonists who have received study, but many who have not. Contributors look at the myriad ways that English-language, Francophone, indigenous, and queer Canadian comics and cartoonists pose alternatives to American comics, to dominant perceptions, even to gender and racial categories. Specific works covered range from the earliest Canadian comic books to the work of contemporary creators. In contrast to the United States’ melting pot, Canada has been understood to comprise a social, cultural, and ethnic mosaic, with distinct cultural variation as part of its identity. This volume reveals differences that often reflect in highly regional and localized comics such as Paul MacKinnon’s Cape Breton-specific Old Trout Funnies, Michel Rabagliati’s Montreal-based Paul comics, and Kurt Martell and Christopher Merkley’s Thunder Bay-specific zombie apocalypse. The collection also considers some of the conventionally “alternative” cartoonists, such as Seth, Dave Sim, and Chester Brown. It offers alternate views of the diverse and engaging work of two very different Canadian cartoonists who bring their own alternatives into play: Jeff Lemire in his bridging of Canadian/US and mainstream / alternative sensibilities and Nina Bunjevac in her own blending of realism and fantasy as well as of insider / outsider status. Despite an upsurge in research on Canadian comics, there is still remarkably little written about most major and all minor Canadian cartoonists.This volume provides insight into some of the lesser-known Canadian alternatives still awaiting full exploration.

McElroy, Michael B. Energy and Climate. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190490331.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The climate of our planet is changing at a rate unprecedented in recent human history. The energy absorbed from the sun exceeds what is returned to space. The planet as a whole is gaining energy. The heat content of the ocean is increasing; the surface and atmosphere are warming; mid-latitude glaciers are melting; sea level is rising. The Arctic Ocean is losing its ice cover. None of these assertions are based on theory but on hard scientific fact. Given the science-heavy nature of climate change, debates and discussions have not played as big a role in the public sphere as they should, and instead are relegated to often misinformed political discussions and inaccessible scientific conferences. Michael B. McElroy, an eminent Harvard scholar of environmental studies, combines both his research chops and pedagogical expertise to present a book that will appeal to the lay reader but still be grounded in scientific fact. In Energy and Climate: Vision for the Future, McElroy provides a broad and comprehensive introduction to the issue of energy and climate change intended to be accessible for the general reader. The book includes chapters on energy basics, a discussion of the contemporary energy systems of the US and China, and two chapters that engage the debate regarding climate change. The perspective is global but with a specific focus on the US and China recognizing the critical role these countries must play in addressing the challenge of global climate change. The book concludes with a discussion of initiatives now underway to at least reduce the rate of increase of greenhouse gas emissions, together with a vision for a low carbon energy future that could in principle minimize the long-term impact of energy systems on global climate.

Past, Mariana F., and Benjamin Hebblethwaite. Stirring the Pot of Haitian History. Liverpool University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781800859678.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Stirring the Pot of Haitian History is an original translation of Ti difé boulé sou istoua Ayiti (1977), the first book written by Haitian anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot. Challenging understandings of Haitian history, Trouillot analyzes the pivotal role of self-emancipated revolutionaries in the Haitian Revolution and War of Independence (1791-1804), a generation of people who founded the modern Haitian state and advanced Haiti’s vibrant contemporary cultures. This book confronts the problems of self-serving politicians and the racial mythologizing of historical figures like Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Toussaint Louverture and André Rigaud. The author denounces corruption and racism as hereditary maladies received from the hyper-racist slave society of the French colony of Saint-Domingue. Trouillot also examines the socio-economic and political contradictions and inequalities of Saint-Domingue, traces the unravelling of the colony’s racist economic system after the revolts of 1791, and argues that Haitian Creole language and Haitian Vodou religion provided the bedrock cultural cohesion needed to fuel the resistance, revolt and warfare that led to Haitian independence on January 1, 1804. Trouillot blends Marxist criticism, deep readings in Haitian historiography, anthropological insights, and skilful handling of Haiti's rich oral traditions of storytelling, proverbs and wisdom sayings to provide a sharp and earthy account of Haitian social and political thought rooted in the style and culture of Haitian Creole speakers. Each chapter opens with a line of verse, song or a proverb that pulls readers into a historical oral performance. Haitian oral tradition from popular culture and Vodou religion mingle with explorations of complex social and political realities and historical hypotheses. Although the Haitian Creole majority language still plays second fiddle to French in government and education, Ti difé boulé sou istoua Ayiti is a major contribution in the effort to demonstrate the power of Haitian Creole scholarship. Stirring the Pot of Haitian History holds a preeminent place in the expanding canon of Haitian Creole and Caribbean literature, especially as it shows how historical problems continue to insinuate themselves within the contemporary moment.
