Abstract:

MUSINT is an interactive museological network devoted to the Tuscan archaeological collections which enables the creation of an innovative display itinerary through the collections of Aegean and Cypriot antiquities, so that exhibits originating from different museum institutions can be appreciated. This has led to the creation of a "museum of museums" which responds to the need to offer a display system that can be "visited" by a broad and variegated public. The arrangement of the book itself reflects the true nature of the MUSINT project and its character as a research worksite, enhanced by p

Abstract:

The monograph examines the ROLL technology that allows solving the climate problem in the steelmaking, energy and cement industries. We are not talking about the exclusion of carbon from the technological process, but about the neutralization of the resulting carbon dioxide. ROLL technology is based on the idea of producing several products from a single heating of raw materials, and the main tools are universal ROLL chambers that bring allied productions closer together in time and space. This reduces the energy intensity of the total product and directs the saved and produced energy to

Abstract:

This chapter consists of two parts. The first part reviews the fundamental notion of classifying topos of a geometric theory and discusses the appropriate kinds of interpretations between theories which induce morphisms between the associated classifying toposes; the theoretical presentation is accompanied by a few concrete examples of classifying toposes of theories naturally arising in mathematics. A characterization theorem for universal models of geometric theories inside classifying toposes is also established. The second part presents the general unifying technique ‘toposes as bridges’.

How does a doctor or therapist bridge the gap between particulars and generalizations regarding patients and various phenomena or diseases? The authors of this volume illustrate the multiple ways practitioners in the fields of clinical psychology and medicine address the tension between the universal nature of scientific knowledge and its particular applications. They discuss the fact that some decisions, if made erroneously, have impacts that cannot be reversed. An error in the realms of medicine, ecology, peace, and war brings with it psychological strategies that differ from those a practit

This book claims that there is a negativity at the core of all social articulations that provides the basis for a universal politics. Drawing principally on the work of Slavoj Žižek, the book suggests that the social is punctured by an impossibility—an incompletion—that, rather than serving as a barrier to politics, lays a foundation for shared struggle. The book thus argues for a negative universality, rooted not in a positive element (e.g., identity-based politics) but a discordant one, so that under our current global capitalist system, solidarity is to be forged on the basis of social anta

Abstract:

This chapter reveals the central importance of Jewish–Greek relations to the Apostle Paul. Building on the theory that Paul’s doctrine of justification by faith was not an answer to the universal problem of human sin, but an answer to how Gentiles could be included in the new Christ communities without following the Jewish Law (the “New Paul”), this chapter explores the history of interethnic violence that plagued Jews and Greeks in Paul’s day, especially in the cities of the Roman East, where Paul was active. Paul saw in the Jesus movement a way to bridge the divide between Jews and Greeks wh

Abstract:

This article explores the effect of language change on focusing and focus constructions based on observations and case studies. It begins by analysing bleached focus and contrasts it with independent focus. It also makes a distinction between universal focus effects and language-specific focus operators to show how language change can affect the specific parts of the grammar of focus. The discussion then turns to the emergence of focus sensitive particles, with particular reference to the semantic units that precede focus as part of semantic composition.

Abstract:

Using François Laruelle’s non-philosophy of definitional mutation, this chapter examines Deleuze’s theory of stupidity (in Difference and Repetition) in order to deconstruct the difference between the ‘wise’ philosopher and the ‘idiot’ as his transcendental stooge. The result is a non-philosophical ‘unlearning’ which involves something more radical, namely the idea that thought is not the intrinsic property of humans that serves to define their essence, an essence that would then indeed be ‘local’; rather it is a universal milieu.

This chapter offers an analysis of John Locke’s theory of property in the context of Atlantic colonial capitalism.

It brings into conversation the colonial interpretations of Locke with the earlier economic debates on the place of natural law, morality, and accumulation of capital in Locke’s theory of property. It argues that by predicating property and improvement on monetization, Locke construes t

This book argues in favor of an approach to global policy priorities that emphasizes the attempt to put a minimal set of basic goods and services into the hands of everyone. This universal provision of basic goods and services includes nutritious food, clean water, sanitation, health services, education services, housing, electricity, and human security services. The book argues that this policy focus is appropriate both for practical and ethical reasons, but that success in this provision will not be easy and therefore is no small hope.

It also brings new attention to the 1964 film Surf Party, which Brokeback Mountain briefly excerpts. Through a comparative reading, the chapter shows this seemingly frivolous beach romp to be a crucial intertext: like Brokeback, it depicts the policing o

Countries that have made the most progress toward universal coverage have public expenditures in health equivalent to at least 6% of their gross domestic product (GDP), which is the percentage established in PAHO’s universal health strategy as the benchmark for the countries. However, while higher expenditure is a prerequisite, it is not enough to combat inequities and advance toward universal health. In addition to greater resources, the quality of the expenditure must be improved, reducing health system inefficiencies. Moreover, public expenditure in health should be sustainably increased in

The idea of a guaranteed minimum income has been central to British social policy debates for more than a century. Since the First World War, a variety of market economists, radical activists, and social reformers have emphasized the possibility of tackling poverty through direct cash transfers between the state and its citizens. As manufacturing employment has declined and wage inequality has grown since the 1970s, cash benefits and tax credits have become a major income source for millions of working-age households, including many low-paid workers with children.

The engagement between the discipline of international relations (IR) and feminist theory has led to an explosion of concerns about the inherent gendered dimension of a supposedly gender-blind field, and has given rise to a rich and complex array of analyses that attempt to capture the varied aspects of women’s invisibility, marginalization, and objectification within the discipline. The first feminist engagements within IR have pointed not only to the manner in which women are rendered invisible within the field, but also to IR’s inherent masculinity, which masks itself as a neutral and unive

Revamping the Enlightenment tradition of the conte philosophique, these supporters of the Revolution in France and political reform in Britain advocated a newly ambitious species of novel capable of building bridges between the discursive domains of fiction and political theory.

Scientific understanding of spontaneous thought has progressed by leaps and bounds in recent years, but big questions still loom: What, exactly, is spontaneous thought? How does the human brain

Notwithstanding steps taken by families to preserve the tranquillity of their slumber, the quality of pre-industrial sleep was poor, owing to illness, anxiety, and environmental
