Full textAbstract:
The Swiss (or Swabian) War had its origins beyond Swabia itself, in conflicts between Austrian Tirol and the Rhaetian Leagues; Emperor Maximilian’s plans to invade Italy, however, drew in the Swabian League, which in early 1499 mustered troops to defend its own region from attack or plunder. Imperial troops were sent from the Netherlands, with the result that three separate theatres of war developed: in Vorarlberg, on the Hochrhein, and on the Upper Rhine/Alsace. A series of skirmishes quickly brought hostilities to an end in a ‘war’ which was essentially accidental and avoidable. Much of the fighting consisted of raiding and plundering. By the Treaty of Basel (October 1499) the status quo ante enshrined in the Perpetual Accord was restored; the city of Basel, however, was admitted as a full member to the Confederation.

Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198739777.003.0103.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter comments on Article 98 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 98 emerged in the context of the debate on grounds to refuse surrender and assistance. The Rome Statute has the potential to conflict with other obligations of States under international law, whether pursuant to customary international law or treaty. In particular, they are required to respect the immunities of diplomats and international officials. States that allow military activity by foreign troops on their territory often have agreements, known as ‘status of forces agreements’ (SOFAs). Article 98 governs these conflicts by, in effect, making obligations of arrest and surrender under the Statute subordinate to other legal norms.

Full textAbstract:
In 1530 Duke Charles launched a fresh attack on Geneva, whereupon both Fribourg and Bern sent troops, which alarmed the other cantons. Peace negotiations led to Treaty of St-Julien in October and Deed of Arbitration at Payerne (December). Though brokered by all the cantons (except Glarus) in reality these treaties achieved little, though the vidomat was restored to Savoy, and Geneva’s Burgrecht acknowledged. Yet any failure by Savoy to abide by their terms would entail the Vaud being surrendered to Bern and Fribourg. For its part, Geneva insisted on its status as an imperial city, not beholden to Savoy. Savoy was ordered to pay considerable reparations, on which it repeatedly defaulted. Bern was angry at Geneva for failing to reimburse its war costs.

Tan, E. K. From Exile to Queer Homecoming. Edited by Carlos Rojas and Andrea Bachner. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199383313.013.40.
Full textAbstract:
While tropes of exile and transgressive aesthetics have been prominent characteristics of queer-themed literature in Taiwan, this chapter focuses on queer homecoming as a literary and political imaginary. Rather than echoing or contesting critiques leveled at the domestication of queerness, for instance in the debates about same-sex marriage in Taiwan and elsewhere, to analyze representations of queer kinship provides insights about the displaced connection and meaning of home for queer subjects. Taking Chen Xue’s diary novelA Wife’s Diaryas an example, this chapter treats queer homecoming as an intervention into a seemingly stable heteronormative structure. Such an intervention urges both queer subjects and their families to simultaneously navigate and negotiate a new type of kinship that is more inclusive than the traditional one. Queer homecoming allows us to rearrange and rethink the notion of home and thus creates a more welcoming familial environment.

Full textAbstract:
“The Priest, the Prophetess, and the Fall of Trou Coffy” is the climactic chapter of this book because it reveals the nature of the relationship between the priest and the prophetess, Abbé Ouvière and Romaine-la-Prophétesse, and its illumination of events surrounding the fall of the Trou Coffy insurgency, including details on what might be called the Battle of Léogâne. Opening with an explanation of Abbé Ouvière’s enlistment as an adviser to the free colored Confederate Army and the plan he devised with them to pacify the Trou Coffy insurgents and bring them into the Confederate fold, the chapter details the priest’s trip to the prophetess’ lair and his meeting with Romaine, resulting in the treaty that placed the Virgin Mary’s godson in control over Léogane. It concludes with an analysis of a French commander’s arrival with troops to retake the occupied city and eventually defeat the Trou Coffy insurgency.

Full textAbstract:
When the Treaty of Versailles entered into force in January 1920, the British, French, and Italians sent their demand for surrender to the Dutch Government. When it was promptly rejected, the three Allied Powers prepared a reply protesting the Dutch decision. But they were already shifting their position in favour of some form of internment similar to what had been imposed upon Napoleon in 1815. Initially, they sought internment far from Europe, but the Dutch were not interested. After a series of unpleasant diplomatic exchanges, the Dutch Queen issued a decree confining the Kaiser to his new castle in Doorn. The Kaiser remained at Doorn for the rest of his natural life, dying in 1941. By then, Germany had occupied the Netherlands and his castle was guarded by Wehrmacht troops. Hitler had his local hatchet-man, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, attend the funeral and present a wreath on his behalf.

Full textAbstract:
The geopolitical and strategic landscape in Europe has transformed fundamentally under the Russian challenge to the Transatlantic Alliance. The alliance response to the annexation of Crimea and Russian hybrid warfare in Ukraine strengthened and demonstrated resolve on the part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the Baltic states and Poland with an Enhanced Forward Presence of rotational troops. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and disintegration of the Soviet Union, NATO has accepted new members that pursued democracy, free markets, rule of law, and human rights as well as a stable European and international order. The future of Transatlantic relations will be impacted by European defense spending, the implications of U.K. withdrawal from the European Union, Russian foreign policy, and the ability of the Atlantic Alliance to move from assurance to a strong deterrence and defense posture in the East and at the same time confront the challenges from the south. The chapter addresses the major challenges to transatlantic security, focuses on the UK, France, and Germany and lays out future challenges.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines how the particular character of Grail romances follows from the incongruous meeting of courtly and Christian discourses, combined for the first time in LeConte du Graal, Chrétien de Troyes’s last, unfinished romance. The romancer’s unsettling inclusion of religious issues within Arthurian narrative coincides with a new turn toward the Bible’s literal and historical sense observable in both Christian and Jewish biblical exegesis. By investigating features shared by romance and exegesis, we can glimpse how a number of issues involving representation and interpretation disseminate through later Grail stories, as the romancer’s inaugural gestures structure how rewriters negotiate the complexities of their enigmatic model. Divided into three sections, the chapter first treats the littera’s historical aspects and its arrangements (order, sequence, context). The second section examines the shifting relation between literal and allegorical senses, in order to explore the exegetical surprises of Chrétien’s prologue in the third.

Kulezic-Wilson, Danijela. Sound Design is the New Score. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190855314.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Sound Design Is the New Score explores film soundtrack practice that blurs the boundary between scoring and sound design, subverting long-established hierarchical relationships between dialogue, music, and sound effects. The new methods associated with this practice rely on the language and techniques of contemporary popular and art music rather than traditional Hollywood scoring and mixing practices, producing soundtracks in which it is difficult to tell the difference between score and ambient sound, where pieces of pre-existing musique concrète or electroacoustic music are merged with diegetic sound, sound effects are absorbed into the score or treated as music, and diegetic sound is treated as musique concrète. The book argues that the underlying principle that binds together all the different manifestations of this practice is a musical approach to soundtrack conceived as an integrated whole. The aesthetic concerns of this practice, demonstrated in a resistance to the familiar tropes of classical narrative and scoring, are illuminated through the concept of the aesthetics of reticence, which encourages an intellectual, affective, and sensuous engagement with film. The sensuous aspect of this practice is theorized using the concept of the erotics of art, arguing that the sensuousness of film form—its sonic and visual textures, composition, rhythm, movement, and flow—is much more complex and sophisticated than simply being an emphasis on excessive sensory stimulation facilitated by the use of digital technology or the aesthetics inspired by it.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the various constructions that have been used to account for Jewish–Muslim relations in the modern period. These constructions range from the irenic (“things were better back then”), perhaps best epitomized by the “golden age” trope, to the more critical (“Muslims have always treated Jews poorly”). Rather than be accurate descriptors, the chapter suggests that such models say more about those doing the interpreting than they do about the actual historical record. They are, in other words, motivated by politics as opposed to history. If the relations between Jews and Muslims in the premodern period are to be systematically rethought, then such paradigms must be transcended or, at the very least, shown for what they are.

Malley, Shawn. Excavating the Future. Liverpool University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781786941190.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Well-known in popular culture for tomb-raiding and mummy-wrangling, the archaeologist is also a rich though often unacknowledged figure for constructing ‘strange new worlds’ from ‘strange old worlds’ in science fiction. But more than a well-spring for scenarios, SF’s archaeological imaginary is also a hermeneutic tool for excavating the ideological motivations of digging up the past buried in the future. A cultural study of an array of popular though critically neglected North American SF film and television texts–spanning the gamut of telefilms, pseudo-documentaries, teen serial drama and Hollywood blockbusters–Excavating the Future treats archaeology as a trope for exploring the popular archaeological imagination and the uses to which it is being put by the U.S. state and its adversaries. By treating SF texts as documents of archaeological experience circulating within and between scientific and popular culture communities and media, Excavating the Future develops critical strategies for analyzing SF film and television’s critical and adaptive responses to contemporary geopolitical concerns about the war on terror, homeland security, the invasion and reconstruction of Iraq, and the ongoing fight against ISIS.

Boyd, Barbara Weiden. Introduction. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190680046.003.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The introduction sets out the major themes of the book and explains the terms used in the title: authority, repetition, and reception. Authority entails a comparison of Homer with Ovid, as created and challenged by Ovid himself; this theme, articulated through the trope of paternity, of paternity centers on the relationship between father and son expressed both thematically and metatextually by Ovid. Repetition, a singular hallmark of Homeric oral compositional technique, features prominently in Ovid’s notional comparison with Homer, as a stylistic gesture to his model; it also serves as a way to set up an analogy between Ovid’s eagerness to be seen as a Homeric poet and the theme of erotic desire. Finally, the perspective of reception embraces the range of Ovid’s interpretation and revision of Homer. The introduction also explains why Ovid’s interaction with the poems of Virgil is treated only peripherally, and the primary emphasis is placed on Homer.

Hess, Earl J. Storming Vicksburg. University of North Carolina Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5149/northcarolina/9781469660172.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book offers a detailed study of a pivotal phase in the Vicksburg campaign, after Ulysses S. Grant moved his Army of the Tennessee to the east side of the Mississippi River, defeated John C. Pemberton at Champion’s Hill, and cut off Vicksburg on its landside. What followed from May 18 to 23, 1863, was an attempt to storm the defences of Vicksburg and capture the important river town. The Union attacks on May 19 and 22 failed with considerable loss of life and Grant decided on May 23 to conduct siege approaches instead. Rather than treat this week-long period as merely an interlude between the overland march and the siege, this book takes the attacks of May 19 and 22 seriously as elements in the Federal struggle to control Vicksburg. Based on exhaustive research, especially in archival holdings, it explains why and how the assaults failed, how they could have succeeded, and what would have resulted had Grant broken through the Confederate lines. A combination of difficult terrain, poor coordination of supporting troops, a breakdown of command and control in some key units, and a partial breakdown of combat spirit in other units, doomed the Union assaults. A thorough military study of the operations, this book offers new insights into the care of wounded, the burial of the dead, the handling of prisoners, the preservation of the battlefield, and the commemoration and memory of the bloodiest assaults the Union Army of the Tennessee ever launched in the Civil War.

Noyalas, Jonathan A. Slavery and Freedom in the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War Era. University Press of Florida, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5744/florida/9780813066868.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
In Slavery and Freedom in the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War Era, Jonathan Noyalas examines the complexities of life for African Americans in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley from the antebellum period through Reconstruction. Although the Valley was a site of fierce conflicts during the Civil War and its military activity has been extensively studied, scholars have largely ignored the black experience in the region until now. Correcting previous assumptions that slavery was not important to the Valley, and that enslaved people were treated better there than in other parts of the South, Jonathan Noyalas demonstrates the strong hold of slavery in the region. He explains that during the war, enslaved and free African Americans navigated a borderland that changed hands frequently—where it was possible to be in Union territory one day, Confederate territory the next, and no-man’s land another. He shows that the region’s enslaved population resisted slavery and supported the Union war effort by serving as scouts, spies, and laborers, or by fleeing to enlist in regiments of the United States Colored Troops. Noyalas draws on untapped primary resources, including thousands of records from the Freedmen’s Bureau and contemporary newspapers, to continue the story and reveal the challenges African Americans faced from former Confederates after the war. He traces their actions, which were shaped uniquely by the volatility of the struggle in this region, to ensure that the war’s emancipationist legacy would survive.

Full textAbstract:
Dans ce second cahier sont proposées de nouvelles études et prolongées les réflexions initiées dans le premier. Gilles Breton, tout d’abord, discute de la contribution des universités conçues comme acteur d’un monde politique globalisé qui ne se réduit plus aux seules relations inter-étatiques. Les textes suivant sont des études de terrain. Olivier Garro s’intéresse à trois universités très actives à l’international dont le point commun est de faire partie des meilleures de leur pays (Cameroun, Liban, Vietnam) sans pour autant figurer dans les classements internationaux. Daoud Nour Ahmed analyse l’internationalisation d’une université émergente dans le cadre d’un micro-Etat (Djibouti). Les deux textes suivant portent sur l’Europe et la France. Magali Hardouin propose une analyse historique critique du programme Erasmus, dont on vient de célébrer les trente ans. Jean-Paul Laurens compare les discours d’acteurs-responsables de l’international d’universités françaises à leur affichage Web. David Bel s’interroge sur l’utilité et la faisabilité d’un atlas de la mondialisation universitaire qui pourrait se substituer aux trop nombreux classements qui servent pour l’heure d’état des lieux de la mondialisation universitaire ? Le dernier texte, enfin, est un hommage à Mario Laforest, un des fondateurs du RIMES, décédé brutalement en 2016 auquel ce cahier est dédié. Ce deuxième opuscule fait l’état des réflexions des membres du RIMES qui, comme dans le précédent, interrogent, à partir de leur point de vue, de leur expérience et de leur formation, les phénomènes d’internationalisation, de globalisation et de mondialisation en cours dans le monde universitaire. Toutes témoignent de la volonté des membres d’appréhender la mondialisation de l’université au plus près du terrain.
