Abstract:
Ballot box voting is often considered the essence of political freedom. But it has two major shortcomings: individual voters have only a tiny chance of making a difference, and they also have strong incentives to remain ignorant about the issues at stake. “Voting with your feet” is far superior on both counts. In Free to Move, Ilya Somin explains how expanding foot-voting opportunities can greatly enhance political freedom for millions of people around the world. That applies to foot voting in federal systems, foot voting in the private sector, and especially foot voting through international migration. These three types of foot voting are rarely considered together. But Somin explains how they have major common virtues, and can be mutually reinforcing. Free to Move addresses a variety of objections to expanded migration rights, including claims that the “self-determination” of natives requires giving them power to exclude migrants, and arguments that migration is likely to have harmful side effects, such as undermining political institutions, overburdening the welfare state, increasing crime and terrorism, and spreading undesirable cultural values. While these objections are usually directed at international migration, Somin shows how a consistent commitment to such theories would also justify severe restrictions on internal freedom of movement. That implication is yet another reason to be skeptical of such arguments. The book also shows how both domestic constitutional systems and international law can be structured to increase opportunities for foot voting while mitigating potential downsides of freedom of movement.

Full text
Abstract:
The illusions of numerosity can be broadly divided into two main categories (a) illusions of numerosity that can be observed in many classical illusions of linear or area extent just replacing the uninterrupted lines by rows of dots, or putting the elements to judge in the area, and (b) illusions in which the participants are clearly aware that the numbers of the elements to estimate are equal in two patterns, but despite this fact they judge that the elements in one pattern are “more” than in the other. Using a constant stimuli method both length/area and numerosity illusions move in the same direction, whereas using a magnitude estimation method the illusions disappear or move in opposite direction. All of this suggests the existence of at least two different cognitive mechanisms at the basis of this phenomenon.

Abstract:
This book is about our ways of seeing, experiencing, and moving through the world and how they shape the kinds of people we become. Drawing from concepts developed by two phenomenological philosophers, Martin Heidegger and Jan Patočka, and putting them in conversation with ethnographic analysis of the lives of contemporary Czechs, the book examines how embodiment is crucial for understanding our being-in-the-world. In particular, the book scrutinizes three kinds of movements we make as embodied actors in the world: how we move through time and space, be it by walking along city streets, gliding across the dance floor, or clicking our way through digital landscapes; how we move toward and away from one another, as erotic partners, family members, or fearful, ethnic “others”; and how we move toward ourselves and the earth we live on. Above all, the book focuses on tracing the ways in which the body and motion are fundamental to our lived experience of the world, so we can develop a better understanding of the empirical details of Czech society and what they can reveal to us about the human condition.

Abstract:
Dance and politics move and move one another in complex and myriad ways. What aspects or efficacy of a dance can be considered political, and what possibilities and understandings of politics are disclosed through dance are not fixed in advance. At the same time, dance is not one; it is dispersed geographically, distributed aesthetically, and it is diverse genealogically, such that gathering movement practices under the banner of dance bears a politics of its own. Opening up its critical terms in two directions, the Introduction illuminates how dance achieves its politics and how notions of the political are themselves expanded when viewed from the perspective of dance. The editors also pay tribute to the research of their colleague, mentor, friend, and co-editor Randy Martin, whose scholarship has inspired and informed the collective inquiry of dance and politics.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews a number of very rare chromosomal rearrangements: centromere fissions, complementary isochromosomes, telomeric fusions, balancing supernumerary chromosomes, neocentromeres, jumping translocations, and chromothripsis. Centromere fission results when a metacentric or submetacentric chromosome splits at the centromere, giving rise to two stable telocentric products. The Robertsonian fission reverses the fusion that had originally generated it. Telomeric fusion leads to a 45-chromosome count. With the balanced complementary isochromosome carrier, two stable exactly metacentric products are generated. A balancing small supernumerary marker chromosome contains material deleted from the normal homolog. A supernumerary chromosome lacking a normal centromere can become stable and functional due to the generation of a neocentromere. In jumping translocations, a segment can move from one chromosome to two or more recipient chromosomes. Chromothripsis takes complex rearrangement to a yet more complex level. The reproductive risks associated with each are noted.

Full text
Abstract:
Perception of object shape is typically accurate and robust, even when objects move behind occluding surfaces, thus fragmenting their visible regions across space and over time. However, when an object is seen moving behind an occluding surface with only two misaligned apertures, a striking perceptual illusion occurs. The object appears distorted in the same direction as the offset of the apertures. This “aperture capture illusion” reveals the limits of spatiotemporal object formation and gives clues as to how the human visual system perceives dynamically occluded objects under normal circumstances. These concepts as well as related factors are explored in this chapter.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines two major trends in the contemporary study of religion—cognitive science and cultural anthropology. While the former seeks a universal, naturalist, evolutionary explanation for religion, the latter emphasizes cultural relativism, variability, and local context. After interrogating the weakness of both, the chapter suggests that Bruce Lincoln’s more critical, reflexive, and ideologically sensitive approach offers one of the best ways to move forward in the study of religion today. While recognizing the limitations and provisional nature of any definition of religion, Lincoln’s approach offers for a broad comparative method while also paying close attention to history, politics, and social change.

Full text
Abstract:
The EU Citizenship Directive defines the right of free movement for citizens of the European Economic Area. It applies to EU citizens and their family members who move to visit or reside in another Member State. This might at first seem like a straightforward definition, but immediately questions arise. Who determines if a person is an EU citizen at all? What about dual citizens of two Member States, or of one Member State and a non-Member State (a ‘third State’)? What is the position of EU citizens who move to one Member State, and then return to their home Member State? This book provides a comprehensive commentary of the EU’s Citizens’ Directive tracing the evolution of the Directive’s provisions, placing each article in its historical and legislative context. Special emphasis is placed on highlighting the connections and interactions between the Directive’s constituent provisions so as to permit a global appreciation of the system of free movement rights to which the Directive gives effect. Each provision is annotated containing a detailed analysis of the case law of the Court of Justice as well as of related measures impacting upon the Directive’s interpretation including European Commission reports and guidelines on the Directive’s implementation.

Full text
Abstract:
Idealism in its strong form is the view that our human minds in particular, not just minds in general, are metaphysically central to reality, somehow. This chapter presents an argument for this strong form of idealism. The argument will come largely from the philosophy of language, which might sound dubious. However, it will be shown that such an argument can establish a substantial metaphysical conclusion nonetheless. One key move is to distinguish two versions of idealism tied to two ways of conceiving of reality: the totality of facts vs. the totality of things. Ontological idealism is false: we are not central for reality understood as the totality of things. However, conceptual idealism, a version of idealism concerning the totality of facts, is true. The argument given in this chapter aims to show why and how that can be.

Abstract:
In rethinking modern Chinese literary history, we may draw on insights from two relatively new approaches in the West: postmodern literary history as represented by the Harvard University Press’s “new history” series, and comparative literary history as realized in two multivolume literary histories on Central-Eastern Europe and Latin America, respectively. It is time to move research forward beyond the current divergence between a persistent lack of interest in Chinese literary history in English scholarship and an inundation of literary histories in Chinese. Recent calls in China for defamilarization and microhistories demonstrate the desire to break away from the orthodox model of comprehensive historiography, and a comparative examination of literary historiography in Chinese will further develop a new structural view of modern Chinese literary history in terms of rupture, diversity, and heterogeneity rather than the previous emphasis on continuity, singularity, and homogeneity.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter discusses the twin theses of representationalism and the transparency of experience. In place of standard representationalism, the chapter argues for “modest representationalism”: the thesis that two people who are visually representing the same scene will have experiences that are, phenomenally, pretty similar. While this might sound like an untenable compromise position, neo-pragmatism provides it with a solid theoretical foundation. This chapter also criticizes an argument of Ned Block’s, which attempts to move from the relatively uncontroversial claim that we can imagine someone with an inverted spectrum, to the much more controversial claim that we must acknowledge that there could be a significant phenomenal difference between the way something looks to two different normal people. The chapter also argues that phenomenal content is in principle amenable to verbal description in a sufficiently rich public language.

Abstract:
New technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, machine intelligence, and the Internet of Things are seeing repetitive tasks move away from humans to machines. Humans cannot become machines, but machines can become more human-like. The traditional model of educating workers for the workforce is fast becoming irrelevant. There is a massive need for the retooling of human workers. Humans need to be trained to remain focused in a society which is constantly getting bombarded with information. The two basic elements of physical and mental capacity are slowly being taken over by machines and artificial intelligence. This changes the fundamental role of the global workforce.

Abstract:
This chapter presents a historical overview of constitutional developments in Africa. One of the most remarkable developments has been the move away from wholly imported or imposed constitutions, towards constitutions made within Africa. Two constitutional traditions have substantially influenced current constitutional developments on the continent. One is the common law constitutional tradition, based on the Westminster constitutional system with many elements of the US constitutional system crafted onto it, which has been widely adopted in Anglophone Africa. The other is the civil law constitutional tradition mainly based on the French Fifth Republic Constitution of 1958, which has been widely adopted in Francophone Africa and to some extent, Lusophone and Hispanophone Africa.

Abstract:
Chapter 8 proceeds from the image of a sovereign state as a flat, two-dimensional surface and re-envisions the process of collective self-government as unfolding three-dimensionally, as a dynamic configuration of tendential responsiveness within the spacetime of a purposive constitutional order—a constitutional isomorph. In allowing us to move beyond constitutional self-government its aim is to dignify the plurality of constituent imaginations, deflate the claims of ethical and practical superiority of the liberal-democratic vision of popular self-government, render the idea of a forward-looking, and concretely purposeful constitutional order more sensible, and challenge the alleged inescapability of imagining the subject of constitutional self-government narratively.

Abstract:
The ‘Introduction’ asks what is ritual? Is ritual useful? What are the various kinds of ritual? It suggests that to think about ritual is to reflect on human nature, sociality, and culture. It is also to explore ritual's place, power, and potential in our lives and our society. Ritual includes both religious and nonreligious rites, the traditional and the new, the prescribed and the improvised, the human and nonhuman, and rubs up against a number of other cultural domains, such as play, games, performance, and theater. If ritual is action, it is also an idea, something we think with, and our exploration will move back and forth between these two dimensions.

Abstract:
‘World’ looks at the ‘world’ of Shakespearean comedy, isolating the distinctive way that its stories play out in space. There is something dreamlike about all Shakespeare’s comedies—whether they are set in forests, courts, or cities—and more than anything else this is a consequence of their locational elasticity, bending properties of space and time. Many Shakespearean comedies start in a court and move out to the country: they end in this wild space outside the bounds of civilization, but with the promise of a festive return. Some, however, employ a more dynamic structure, where two distinct places are put in contrapuntal dialogue, which is distinctive to Shakespeare.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the simplifications occurring in the proof of the main theorem in the smooth case. It begins by stating the theorem about the existence of an F-definable homotopy h : I × unit vector X → unit vector X and the properties for h. It then presents the proof, which depends on two lemmas. The first recaps the proof of Theorem 11.1.1, but on a Zariski dense open set V₀ only. The second uses smoothness to enable a stronger form of inflation, serving to move into V₀. The chapter also considers the birational character of the definable homotopy type in Remark 12.2.4 concerning a birational invariant.

Abstract:
This chapter presents detailed analyses of similes in five modern oral poetries. Examining the poet’s reliance on shared similes in the performances of two epic poems, The Epic of Pābūjī (Rajasthan, India) and The Guritan of Radin Suane (South Sumatra), prepares us to pay attention to shared similes when we see them alongside idiolectal similes. Next comes a demonstration of how Kyrgyz and Bosniac epic poets and composers of Najdi lyric poetry use similes to move around on the spectrum of distribution: they present shared and idiolectal similes. The chapter ends by considering the construction of similes as two-part units made up of a tenor and a vehicle: one thereby gains a greater appreciation for poets’ presentations of shared and idiolectal elements in the space of simile. In sum, poets present shared and idiolectal similes in order to show their competence in performance.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 describes Ashbery’s relationship with W. H. Auden in a new way, attending as much to the substantial, productive antagonisms between the two poets as to developing important continuities outlined by earlier critics. It positions The Vermont Notebook—an underrated volume in Ashbery’s oeuvre—as the critical point in Ashbery’s response to his mentor. The chapter argues that The Vermont Notebook serves as a trenchant critique of the turn towards conservatism in Auden’s poetry and cultural outlook after his move to the US in 1939. Through his homage to and appropriation of techniques from The Orators, Ashbery attempts to bring the innovative and versatile early Auden out from the shadow of his later self.

This volume focuses on the various Habsburg courts and households of the two branches of the dynasty that arose following the division of the territories originally held by Charles V. The authors trace the connections between these courtly communities regardless of their standing or composition, exposing the underlying network they formed. By cutting across the traditional division in the historiography between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs and also examining the roles played by the courts and households of lesser known members of the dynasty, this volume determines to what degree the organization followed a particular model and to what extent individuals were able to move between courts in pursuit of career opportunities and advancement.

Full text
Abstract:
Old English (OE) and Old French (OF) both display verb-second (V2) word order in main declarative clauses. Different models may account for V2: (a) the finite verb must move to a head in the CP field; (b) it must remain in the IP field; or (c) it moves to the left periphery only when the preceding XP is not a subject. While the IP-model should allow free embedded V2, the two others would either exclude completely or strongly limit the possibilty of having embedded V2. We select embedded that-clauses and analyse the word order with respect to the matrix verb: embedded V2 is possible in both OE and OF, although the availability of this structure is restricted. OE has very few occurrences of embedded V2, whereas OF seems to permit this construction more freely. We link this difference to the site of first Merge of complementizers in the two languages.

Full text
Abstract:
Natural law thinking in the early modern world had two principal roots: Greco-Roman moral philosophy and Roman law. These two strands came together in sixteenth-century Spain, from where they influenced the Dutchman Hugo Grotius. Grotius can be seen as the channel through which this thinking reached a pan-European audience. His works, and the works of his followers, came to have an enormous influence on the development of legal thought and practice after the seventeenth century. Ideas of natural law were no longer regarded as dependent on God’s will. A rational structure could be derived from self-evident premises in the law of nature and identification of concrete rules of natural law was regarded as the work of human reason. These features, coupled with its seeming moral objectivity, allowed natural law to provide a template for positive legal systems, and fuelled the move towards codification of law in eighteenth-century Europe.

Abstract:
An argument for a necessary being is developed on the basis of the existence of abstracta. This argument has two parts. First, reasons are put forward in support of the necessary existence of abstracta. These reasons include (among others) an argument for the necessary existence of necessary truths and arguments for the necessary existence of certain properties and mathematical entities. Second, reasons are given for thinking that if there were necessary abstracta, they would be grounded in necessary concreta. Included is an Aristotelian argument and a conceptualist‐based argument supported by Russell's paradox of propositions. It is suggested that the arguments of both parts are independently plausible, and thus that the arguments together could move one to accept the conclusion: abstracta depend on a necessary being.

The introduction outlines the book’s key themes and methodological approaches. It situates the study within recent scholarly discussions of confessional culture and identity, and demonstrates the importance of incorporating images and other types of visual evidence into these discussions. The introduction also provides an overview of recent work on the history of Lutheran art, and argues that we need to move beyond the still-widespread assumption that it served primarily polemical and pedagogical purposes. The introduction outlines the chronological and geographical scope of the whole study, and gives brief histories of the two territories that lie at its heart: Electoral Saxony and Brandenburg. Finally, it explains the book’s structure, providing an overview of its three main sections: the confessional image, the devotional image, and the magnificent image.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the interaction of the Oxford Movement and its followers with Liberalism during the nineteenth century. It analyses the diverse interpretations of Liberalism early in the period, including the political and religious versions, and it traces both the tensions and the points of contact between Tractarianism and Liberal Protestantism. It describes the changing relations between Tractarianism and Liberal Protestantism as a move from conflict towards accommodation. It then proceeds to discuss Liberal Catholicism as a term which encompassed two very different movements, one associated with French Catholicism and influencing the leaders of the Oxford Movement, and the other expressing, later in the century, a development within Anglican High Churchmanship that owed much to Tractarianism but also encompassed key points of difference.

Abstract:
This chapter places the musical theater of Stephen Sondheim and his collaborators in two contexts: the late-1960s aesthetic exhaustion of the integrated musical play and the rise of postmodernism as a cultural dominant. Self-referentially unintegrated and self-consciously performative, Sondheim’s musicals move beyond the constraints of the musical play and participate in the postmodern critique of narrative as an aesthetic, epistemological, and ontological structure.Company(1970) andFollies(1971) use a formal critique of narrative to disconnect identity from the structure of the life story.Merrily We Roll Along(1981) employs a backward-moving narrative to problematize a structure-completing, progressive conception of time.Road Show(2008) replaces the exhausted master narrative of the American Dream with multiple temporary and contingent narratives.

Abstract:
This chapter is an overview of central research-based perspectives that support teaching-learning for understanding and for fluency. We summarize the Class Learning Path Model that integrates two theoretical foci – a Piagetian focus on learning and a Vygotskiian focus on teaching – and specifies phases in learning that reflect Vygotsky’s assertion about the move from spontaneous to scientific concepts. Major aspects of the model were drawn from national research-based reports. This model connects understanding and fluency with a focus on mathematically important but also accessible methods in the middle and on maths drawings and other supports for understanding these methods. Such methods can be generated by students and can bridge from less-advanced student methods to formal methods that are unnecessarily complex. For three maths domains in Grades Kindergarten through Grade 6, we illustrate and discuss methods in the middle and drawings (diagrams) that support these methods: problem solving and especially the full range of word problem situations with each quantity the unknown; multidigit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; and ratio and proportion. Central features of the Common Core State Standards Mathematical Practices (CCSSO/NGA 2010) in these domains are identified, and how these can support understanding and fluency are briefly discussed. Further aspects of how the pedagogical supports help students move through the Class Learning Path in their own individual ways, and implications for research and for designing maths programmes are then discussed.

Abstract:
This article discusses an alternative approach to gaining compliance with the law. The approach involves motivating people through appeals to their values. Values reflect people's assessments of what is right or appropriate to do in a given situation; this involves people's feelings of obligation and responsibility to others. There are two arguments for value-based motivation. First, we gain the benefits of a value-based approach, e.g. increasing voluntary cooperation. Second, we avoid the problems associated with instrumental approaches. To gain these advantages we need to move to a system in which value-based motivations are the primary motivation tapped, and instrumental motivations are the backup for a small group that have to be dealt with instrumentally because they are unable or unwilling to act on their values.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the entwinement of the idea of progress with the theory of international law. Because of the topic’s extensive scope, the chapter limits itself to two arguments. The first is that the impact of the idea of progress in international law should be measured not only against the traction of paradigmatic progress narratives; but also against the pervasiveness of humdrum, prosaic varieties of progress talk. The second point of this chapter is that any kind of progress talk, from the uppercase to the lowercase and back, is theoretical ‘all the way down’. The idea of progress does not merely describe reality ‘an sich’ but imposes a frame over it. Move the frame, and the image becomes muddled. One’s progress is another’s regression, stagnation, or mere directional movement.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter focuses primarily on Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit (1578), by John Lyly. Euphues is a work of prose fiction that offers to tell the story of a young man ‘of more wit than wealth, and yet of more wealth than wisdom’. In addition, the chapter flanks the discussion with works of fiction produced by two other figures. The first of these is George Gascoigne's Discourse of the Adventures Passed by Master F.J. (1573), which is one of the earliest examples of the urbane, courtly fiction that Lyly would make his own. The second is Robert Greene's Menaphon (1589), whose secondary title, ‘Camilla's Alarum to slumbering Euphues’, signals both an acknowledgement and rewriting of Lyly's fiction by his successors, which would move Elizabethan fiction in a direction that Lyly himself may never have attempted.

Abstract:
A theory of well-being, in the way that philosophers typically pursue it, is a maximally general account of goods noninstrumentally valuable to the agent. These theories purposefully leave out the context of the agent and the benefactor. When these high theories meet counterexamples, philosophers either bite the bullet, make theories more intricate, or combine them with other theories. The latter two reactions move these theories away from measurement and hence away from the goals of science. This chapter argues that to secure value-aptness for science, a single theory that acts as a general vending machine is unnecessary. This is the thesis of well-being variantism. Instead high theories, along with more context-specific mid-level theories, have a place in a toolbox that enables building theoretically motivated constructs for scientific practice.

Abstract:
Having codified a repertoire of personalized techniques, Ligeti deployed them in many new combinations in an extremely productive period at the end of the 1960s. Works composed in this period include Continuum, Two Études for Organ, String Quartet no. 2, Ten Pieces for Wind Quintet, Ramifications, and the Chamber Concerto. This chapter looks at the contrapuntal techniques that built on the composer’s previous practice as well as those derived from harmonic networks. The latter allowed Ligeti to move away from the cluster-based harmonic palate characteristic of his earlier works. In these works Ligeti looked for diverse means of expression and presentation, and he founds ways of composing transitions between techniques, putting patterns derived from harmonic procedures into polyphonic combinations and deriving static harmonic fields from material generated as a melody.

Abstract:
This two-volume set presents detailed interpretations of singular performances by several of the most compelling actors in cinema history, asking in many different and complementary ways what makes performance meaningful, how it reflects a director's style, as well as how it contributes to the development of national cinemas and cultures. Whether noting the precise ways actors shape film narrative, achieve emotional effect, or move toward political subversion, the essays in these books innovate new approaches to studying screen performance as an art form and cultural force. This second volume focuses on international cinema, and includes case studies of key performances from actors like Ingrid Bergman, Gael Garcia Bernal, Nikolai Cherkassov, Alec Guinness, Setsuko Hara, Isabelle Huppert, Peter Lorre, Madhubala, Anna Magnani, Toshirô Mifune, and Choi Min Sik, amongst many others.
