Full text
Abstract:
Since the 19th century, scholars have been attempting to discover the origins of Gregorian chant and to establish when musical notation began to be widely used in its redaction. For almost 30 years, Kenneth Levy's scholarship on the subject has been hugely influential. He hypothesizes that Gregorian chant was notated in the time of Charlemagne (742-814), or even Pippin (714-768). There are alternative ways of reading the 8th- and 9th-century evidence, however, and largely oral transmission of the Gregorian melodies until the later 9th century cannot be ruled out.

Abstract:
Using several twelfth- and thirteenth-century sources, this study examines a selected number of Office antiphons, comparing their melodic variants for patterns of similarity and difference. The ancestry of a Sarum manuscript and - in another source - the survival of a pre-Conquest musical tradition in England are discernible in Office manuscripts examined as are affinities among French and English sources. Evidence from previous chant scholarship and certain medieval historical events shed light on the observations made in this study.

Full text
Abstract:
Prior to the famous Hartker Antiphoner (Sankt Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 390/391), copied in Sankt Gallen c. 1000, there survives no complete, fully-notated witness to the Romano-Frankish chant repertory for the Office. Scholars have long known about the related tonary, possibly a decade older, in which the Sankt Gallen repertory is to be found ordered by melody. But unrecognised until now are the remains of a second tonary (Stadtarchiv Goslar, Handschriftenfragmente MThMu 1/1), datable to the early tenth century. The combined testimony of these two tonaries, together with other surviving fragments, is taken as the basis for a reassessment of the Office repertory in tenth-century Sankt Gallen. Nineteenth-century scholarship gave Hartker’s Antiphoner an arguably undeserved reputation as an authorised monument of Gregorian Chant. This view seems unsustainable in the light of many apparent editorial interventions, yet it may be precisely what the monks had set out to achieve.

In light of recent calls to embrace multilevel, nonlinear, and open systems perspectives for theorizing and practicing human resource development (HRD), this article reviews key tenets of cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) and its applications as relevant to HRD. Specifically, the article discusses the four areas where the usage of CHAT could inform HRD scholarship: (a) systems theory and thinking in HRD, (b) HRD and learning, (c) HRD as design science, and (d) the interplay between research and practice in HRD. Recommendations for further developing CHAT applications in HRD research and practice are provided.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper aims to review and assess the contributions and limitations of law and development (L&D) as a field of legal scholarship in relation to the constitution of the international economy and global economic governance. It seeks to reflect on the theoretical and methodological contributions of L&D theory and practice on the development of international legal scholarship, particularly in the rapidly evolving field of international economic law. The intersections of economic theory, jurisprudence and legal theory and the institutional practice of development agencies and international economic organizations which are the focus of L&D scholarship provide a useful interdisciplinary prism through which developments in the regulatory framework of the global economy can be studied. Mapping the ways in which what Trubek and Santos call the three overlapping spheres of L&D – economic theory, legal theory and institutional practices – enables us to chart, understand and, where necessary, contest, the shifts in development theory and policy and institutional practice that influence and shape legal reform and scholarship.

This thesis examined the positionality of Kang-i Sun Chang’s Chinese literature study through three aspects. Firstly, I examined Chang’s disagreement on Rey Chow’s postcolonial/feminist criticism. Instead of recognizing West/China and man/woman relationship as Orientalist or patriarchal, Chang thinks the ignorance of Chinese/women’s literature by Sinologists is due to the belatedness of canonization. Therefore, Chang sees her research as “com-plements” to the canonization. In order to rediscover formerly underestimated works, Chang tends to see writers’ suffering, not as oppression from above, but motivations from inside, which helped create canonical works. Secondly, by juxtaposing Chang with Yuan-shu Yan, Chia-ying Chao-Yeh, and Yu-kung Kao, it shows an epistemic opposition between Yan and Chao-Yeh, and an alternative position suggested by Kao and developed by Chang. Yan had tried to mod-ernize Chinese literature studies by revealing the universality within Chinese literature, while Chao-Yeh tried to conserve Chinese tradition by reclaiming its specificity. Never-theless, Kao and Chang see the specificity of Chinese literature as a resource to enrich the universality of world literature. Thirdly, I examined Chang’s appropriation of Michel Foucault. By appropriating Foucault, Chang emphasized the fluidity of power, while de-emphasized the surveil-lance and dominance. With her interpretation of Foucault, Chang pointed out that re-searchers should pay more attention to aesthetic issues in women’s writing, rather than criticizing the nonexistent male-dominance in Chinese literature. Through these examinations, a parallel between “woman” and “China” is shown. Chang tends to emphasize the “complementarity” side both in the West/China and man/woman relationship, rather than the “difference” side. Also, this parallel is corre-spondent with her own literary works and social/political commentary. The parallel and the correspondence can be mutually explanatory when reading Kang-i Sun Chang.

This article goes through Parris Chang and James Hsiung’s life and comparing their views of China, Identity and Choices of Diaspora Scholarship. Both Parris Chang and James Hsiung are famous Scholar in America, their personal background and diaspora experience formed their China research process, which involves the personal experience of life, value formation and identity strategy. They both had diaspora experience ,and grew up in Taiwan .The only difference between them is their provincial. So the comparison of the two can help to identify the formation of knowledge, identity, location, and their writing strategy. how affected by the object of study is also affected by the problem of how to define the scope of the research object. This research aims to analyze how Parris Chang and James Hsiung received and understood messages and how they developed into their perspective on China.The most important thing is in a variety of macro and micro social structure ,whether personal choice is having a real effect on the knowledge content.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter scrutinizes conceptions of modality in relation to emotionality and aesthetics by addressing written forms of knowledge on the eight ecclesiastical modes in Syriac chant. It begins by presenting basic terms in existing discourses on the subject, then it examines a number of written sources (touching on issues relevant to orientalism and European musicology). The chapter develops a critical narrative on the concept of mode in three ways. First, it extracts from written tracts on the subject information that corresponds with the author’s ethnographic observation of living practice. Second, it dissects the concept of mode in Syriac music scholarship by tracking its sources and employment. Third, it brings to light the significance of perception and experience as they coincide in inherited knowledge in this aural tradition. In showing at once the presence and the absence of physical and metaphysical thinking in these writings, the chapter brings the notion of spirituality to the study of emotion and the aesthetic.

Abstract:
In chapter 3 we chart the potential and the pitfalls of Dutch Reformed biblical philology after 1650, a period that is relatively unknown. Focusing on Old Testament scholarship, a number of case studies serves to trace the paradoxical results of biblical philology in this period, as practised by the likes of Johannes Coccejus and Campegius Vitringa: discussions about the ‘oracle stones’ umim and thummim, reconstructions of the temple described by the prophet Ezekiel, and erotic allusions in the Old Testament. When such specialized debates spilled over to the writings of non-professionals, such as Adrianus Beverland, this could lead to unconventional speculations, unwelcome from a clerical perspective. These case studies show how existing philological work on the Bible became tied up with the textual criticism articulated by Spinoza, how Dutch scholarship connected with international discussions, and how philology radiated from academic specialists to outsiders with their own claims to exegetical authority.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to chart the broad contours of historical scholarship on medicine in Russia/Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Whether dealing with practical developments or clusters of ideas, the history of medicine in Eastern European countries, as much as in Russia, shares certain narratives, conceptual traits, and methodological conventions. The comparative conceptual strategy proposed here, moreover, is intended not only to reveal much-needed research on neglected national case studies, but also to redefine wider debates in the history of medicine more generally. This article further mentions the need for substantial research and analytical effort to stimulate historiographic interest in these topics from a comparative perspective, at both regional and international levels.

Abstract:
This chapter examines individual-level factors that may influence legitimacy beliefs towards global governance institutions. The chapter surveys the full breadth of existing political science research in order to chart a forward course for empirical studies of individual-level sources of legitimacy beliefs. The chapter’s threefold core argument maintains, first, that global governance scholarship needs to build on previous insights on legitimacy beliefs from comparative politics and social psychology. Second, research on beliefs in the legitimacy of global governance institutions needs to look comparatively across countries, institutions, issue areas, social groups, and time. Third, future research on sources of legitimacy in global governance can acquire better measures through the use of large-scale surveys and survey experiments.

Abstract:
As Chinese performers have become more visible on global screens, their professional images – once the preserve of studios and agents – have been increasingly relayed and reworked by film fans. Web technology has made searching, poaching, editing, positing, and sharing texts significantly easier. Moreover, by using a variety of seamless and innovative methods, a new mode of personality construction has been developed. With case studies of high-profile stars like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and Michelle Yeoh, this ground-breading book examines transnational Chinese stardom as a Web-based phenomenon, and as an outcome of the participatory practices of cyber fans. By grounding the theory and praxis of Chinese stardom in a cyber-context, this book proffers a critical intervention of Chineseness and redress some inadequacies of the current scholarship on the subject by advancing the exploration of the dynamics borne out of technological apparatuses, cultural discourses, and network culture.

Full text
Abstract:
The Oxford Handbook of Southwest Archaeology collectively surveys the state of method, theory, and historical reconstruction in the archaeology of the American Southwest, a region that encompasses the Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico. Part I is comprised of an extended introductory chapter that traces the intellectual development of the discipline from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Archaeological research in the Southwest—like that in any other region—is fundamentally a historical undertaking, and yet there has never been an explicit consideration of Southwest historiography. Part I redresses this situation. Part II inaugurates a set of inquiries into the “shape of history,” exploring the conceptual frameworks guiding archaeological accounts of the past, the intersections between archaeological and descendant perspectives, and the varied culture histories in each major subregion of the Southwest. Part III then turns to consider the “stuff of history” through a series of chapters focused on the material culture, landscapes, and ecologies that serve as the evidentiary bases for historical reconstructions. Together, the contributions provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the discipline and its findings, they chart out the contemporary practice of archaeology in the region from diverse perspectives, and they advocate for a new attention to the craft of historical narration in archaeological scholarship.

Abstract:
After the heyday of the law and literature movement in the 1970s and 1980s, many wondered whether it would retain vitality and influence. Yet in recent years, scholarship in law and literature continues to flourish, broadening into a number of new directions. This collection of essays by twenty-two prominent scholars from literature departments as well as law schools showcases the vibrancy of recent work in the field, at the same time as it takes stock of many of the new directions shaping the interdiscipline. In so doing, New Directions in Law and Literature furnishes an overview of where the field has been, its recent past, and its potential futures. Some of the essays examine the innovative methodological approaches that helped to enlarge the field; among these are concern for globalization, the integration of insights from history and political theory, the application of new theoretical models from affect studies and queer theory, and the expansion of study beyond the text to performance and the image. Other essays instead grapple with particular intersections between law and literature, whether in copyright law, or competing visions of alternatives to marriage, or the role of ornament in the law’s construction of racialized bodies. Together, the essays in this volume offer a diverse, evolving portrait of the wide variety of work in law and literature, and in the process they likewise chart new lines of inquiry that beginning scholars might pursue.

The introduction surveys the central role accorded to certain ideas of techno-scientific development in Indian nationalist imagination. It then examines the recent trend of a ‘post-colonial turn’ in both science studies and science-fiction scholarship and argues that this misses the opportunity to examine both science and science fiction in relation to global capitalism, colonialism and international opposition to these. By looking at the case of Indian science fiction written during the first decades of Indian independence, when the country took a leading role in the non-aligned movement, it suggests that such inter-related literary and political forms tried to chart alternative routes to dominant practices of modernization in the 20th-century.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter offers a mapping of the field of research to which we – the authors of the chapter and the editors of the volume – hope that the volume itself will contribute. Using the motif of ‘new directions’, we chart historical and contemporary scholarship on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS), tracing avenues of enquiry, streams of argument, and architectures of practice across geographical, temporal, and institutional scales. In the course of our mapping, we identify overlapping waves of WPS scholarship, beginning with those who came to study WPS primarily through peace activism and women’s movements (including those who engaged directly with the politics and processes that produced UNSCR 1325), through the emergence of ‘WPS’ as a discrete object of analysis, and to the current state of art represented by the contributions to this volume. In doing so we show how WPS has gone from peace activism at the margins to a more significant landmark in the peace and security environment than perhaps anyone had envisaged. This cataloguing constitutes the first substantive section of the chapter. In the second section of the chapter, we map the contours of the contemporary field of study, proposing three new horizons of WPS scholarship: new themes; new actors; and new methods of encounter. In the final section, we conclude our cartography with a discussion of the ways in which the more recent contributions to WPS scholarship and practice are producing interesting new contestations, tensions, and constellations of power, and re-situate the new politics of WPS in relation to the geographical, temporal and institutional scales which will shape its future trajectories.

This chapter provides an overview of past scholarship on the topic of John Calvin and the efficacy of baptism. It identifies three basic schools of interpretation—instrumentalist, parallelist, and developmental—and summarizes the works of major representatives of each category. It then proceeds to a prospectus for the book, proposing (1) a method that examines all of Calvin’s major writings on baptism through five phases of his life and (2) the thesis that in attempting to chart a middle course between Roman Catholic and Zwinglian/Anabaptist views of the sacraments, Calvin constructed a doctrine of baptismal efficacy that displayed elements of all three interpretative categories outlined earlier. Furthermore, although there was change and development in Calvin’s understanding of baptismal efficacy, these were only changes in emphasis, nuance, and clarity, and not the more dramatic shifts that some in the past have suggested.

Full text
Abstract:
Due to rapid evolution of technology, innovations are vital to most organizations (Choi & Chan, 2009, p. 245). Nevertheless, the results of innovations are in many cases not satisfying. Several studies have shown that an organization's failure to benefit from an adopted innovation can often be attributed to a deficient implementation process rather than to the innovation itself. Thus, the implementation process is a critical interface between the decision to adopt and the routine usage of an innovation. Ways and methods to implement innovation effectively have been under scholarship for some time now. Despite the number of studies which identify multiple causes of unsuccessful implementation processes, literature is lacking regarding the strategic facets of innovation implementation. Building on the derived knowledge of the underlying dynamics of innovation processes, through grounded theory and in-depth literature review, the present study aims to contribute to existing implementation literature by examining the strategic facets of innovation implementation.

Titles in the Complete series combine extracts from a wide range of primary materials with clear explanatory text to provide readers with a complete introductory resource. This chapter, which discusses the circumstances for judicial review of a public authority’s decision on the grounds that it is irrational, first explains the history of irrationality and ‘Wednesbury unreasonableness’, to provide some background to the topic and to chart its development. It then considers cases in which the courts have discussed different versions of the irrationality test, discusses the difference between irrationality and proportionality, and examines the development of proportionality and its use in judicial review cases. The chapter distinguishes between proportionality and merits review, and discusses the use of judicial deference by the courts. Proportionality, and not irrationality, is the test used to determine whether a public authority has acted unlawfully when its decision is challenged by judicial review under section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998. The irrationality test is used in non Human Rights Act judicial review cases but the courts have also used the proportionality test in cases involving common law rights. The chapter concludes by considering the discussion in the case law and the scholarship as to whether the irrationality test should be replaced by the test of proportionality across both types of case: traditional judicial review cases and those involving a human rights issue.
