Chapter 4 offers a mitigated moral justification of the much maligned emotional trait, pity, in the Aristotelian sense of ‘pain at deserved bad fortune’. It lays out Aristotle’s taxonomic map of pity and its surrounding conceptual terrain and argues that this map is not anachronistic with respect to contemporary conceptions. It then offers a revisionary ‘Aristotelian’ moral justification of pity, not as a full virtue-component intrinsically related to eudaimonia but as a positive moral quality that has instrumental value in developing and sustaining a certain intrinsically valuable state of ch

It argues that the rich array of data found in and around the forts and fortresses offers a valuable opportunity to look afresh at how identities were defined and constructed. New approaches to this data have played a valuable role in counterbalancing the traditional focus on the official structures of Roman power, by offering a sense of the diversity of responses to these structures among soldiers and their dependants.

Abstract:

Building on Knoepfel’s previous book, Public policy analysis, this book offers a conceptually coherent view of ten public policy resources: force, law, personal, money, property rights, information, organisation, consensus, time and political support. The book demonstrates the interplay of the different resources in a conceptually coherent framework and presents numerous illustrations of ways of mobilising the resources and managing them in a sustainable way, resource exchanges and the role of institutions governing the interrelationships between actors and resources. The book will be valuable

Abstract:

This chapter takes the concept of “becoming-child” from Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's study of Franz Kafka in order to account for the peculiarity of Harry Langdon's screen persona. The bizarrely babyish acting style of Langdon offers a valuable point of access to one of the fundamental traits of silent screen comedy as a whole: its sustained appeal to immature behaviors and correlative rejection of adult standards of behaviors, as well as the normative sexual roles these tend to enforce. What emerges here is one of the strongest links between slapstick film and the counterculture genera

This book explores the extraordinary contribution that classical poetics has made to twentieth- and twenty-first-century theories of narrative. Its aim is not to argue that modern narratologies simply present ‘old wine in new wineskins’, but to identify the diachronic affinities shared between ancient and modern stories about storytelling, recognizing that modern narratologists bring particular expertise to bear upon ancient literary theory and offer valuable insights into the interpretation of some notoriously difficult texts. By interrogating ancient and modern narratologies through the mutu
