Chettri, Mona, and Michael Eilenberg, eds. Development Zones in Asian Borderlands. NL Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789463726238.

Full text
Abstract:
Development Zones in Asian Borderlands maps the nexus between global capital flows, national economic policies, infrastructural connectivity, migration, and aspirations for modernity in the borderlands of South and South-East Asia. In doing so, it demonstrates how these are transforming borderlands from remote, peripheral backyards to front-yards of economic development and state-building. Development zones encapsulate the networks, institutions, politics and processes specific to enclave development, and offer a new analytical framework for thinking about borderlands; namely, as sites of capital accumulation, territorialisation and socio-spatial changes.

Abstract:
The history of early modern medicine often makes for depressing reading. It implies that people fell ill, took ineffective remedies, and died. A few snippets from Roy and Dorothy Porter’s classic study, In Sickness and in Health, encapsulate this pessimism: they speak of the ‘universal sickness, suffering, and woe’ of the early modern past, a time in which ‘people died like flies’ from infections against which ‘pre-modern medicine had few effective weapons’....

Abstract:
Murals are astonishingly common between the wars. In Britain they were less often created for private houses, because most people rented and moved frequently, but they were frequently commissioned for public spaces of all kinds. Like tapestries, murals were a form of decoration that modernist architects approved, because they were subordinate, without painting’s power to challenge. Decorators were also resistant to paintings. While many artists created murals, it is the work of Rex Whistler above all which encapsulates—in its fictiveness, whimsy, melancholy and effortless technical skill—much of what is distinctive about modern baroque.

This book encapsulates the extensive knowledge developed by CSIRO's National Rangelands Program on how rangeland landscapes function and the implications for management. It looks at the ecology of rangeland landscape processes and deals with what happens when things go wrong, when a landscape loses its ability to efficiently capture and store water and nutrients - a state the authors call dysfunctional.Ways of managing rangelands in response to understanding landscape function are also considered. The concluding Section looks to the future providing some scenarios for the way rangeland landscapes may be used in 2020.

Abstract:
A recurrent figure throughout this book, Oscar Wilde both exemplified and generated a connection between queerness and modernism that was enacted in and through performance. In this brief epilogue, Wilde’s contention that “what is termed Sin is an essential element of progress” serves to encapsulate how, as illustrated in the preceding chapters, queer modernist performance was a subversive yet insufficiently recognized aspect of modernism. Queer modernist performance thus clarifies that modernism, as Susan Stanford Friedman has argued, was a domain within modernity that effected change while at the same time intersecting with other domains of change, in this instance gender and sexuality.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter argues that the metamorphic dance scenes in Nonnus’ epic on Dionysus encapsulate the very nature of Nonnus’ poetry. It elucidates the metapoetic role of dance with a close reading of the proem of Book 1, which is dominated by the Homeric shape-shifter Proteus. It then turns to the dance contest in Book 19, which juxtaposes representational and acrobatic dances. The latter, nonrepresentational dance, which culminates in the dancer’s transformation into a river, is examined in detail, and the moral and aesthetic implications of this climax are discussed with particular attention to the internal audience’s interpretive response to the dancer’s metamorphosis.

Abstract:
Autoimmune encephalitis clinically encapsulates a spectrum of disorders including limbic encephalitis, and other autoimmune CNS disorders, which often have a paraneoplastic cause. Unlike multiple sclerosis, autoimmune encephalitides are unified by well-characterized neural-specific IgG biomarkers detectable in serum or CSF. Diagnostic laboratory, in vitro and neuropathological studies have demonstrated two broad groups. The first, characterizable by the detection of neuronal nuclear, cytoplasmic, or nucleolar antibodies (such as ANNA-1, aka anti-Hu), likely have a cytotoxic T cell mediated pathogenesis. The second, characterizable by the detection of antibodies targeting plasma membrane antigens, such as NMDA receptor, are likely mediated (at least in part) by pathogenic antibody.

This concluding chapter examines how, in the post-MTV world of video culture and the post-hardcore rap world of commodity thugs, mediated images of the black male body remain a fantasy of masculine desire that encapsulates extreme alternatives of heroism and villainy for white and other youth who often have few other references for black American culture. It reiterates on the conclusions drawn from the previous chapters; and furthermore examines the implications of Barack Obama's 2008 electoral victory, his engagement and association with hip-hop culture, his triumph over American power expressed through whiteness, and his overall role as what the author here terms as “the first hip-hop president.”

Abstract:
The final chapter encapsulates the usefulness of the inside-out approach developed in the book for future research. It outlines how the book fills a gap in existing scholarship by analytically linking the “inside-out” spillover of national identity debates into foreign policy with the changes in the contours of these debates produced by their contestation in this alternative arena. The chapter also suggests insights into the recent backlashes arising against the AKP’s identity project, with a focus on the 2013 Gezi protests and the Kurdish issue. In doing so, it considers the domestic and foreign policy ramifications of a possible hybrid identity proposal arising out of mutual contestation against Ottoman Islamism, as well as the red lines that might obstruct any such collaboration.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter argues that the growing obsession of sportswriters in recent decades with so-called “blue-collar” fan bases and “blue-collar” professional athletes has abetted the larger project of neoliberalism by masking and justifying economic inequality in cities like Chicago. The ongoing insistence of Chicago’s sports pages that local teams enjoy the support of “blue-collar” fan bases erases successful efforts by teams to price out the working-class by increasingly catering to affluent fans on the winning side of the upward redistribution of wealth. Moreover, the relatively recent trend of local journalists labeling Chicago’s professional, millionaire athletes as “blue-collar” encapsulates the broader trend within the mainstream media of discussing class as a matter of personal style rather than a matter of material circumstance.

Abstract:
Chapter 3, Mandate, discusses the provisions in the AIIB Charter that encapsulate AIIB’s mandate. These provisions address the overarching objectives that the Prospective Founding Members saw for AIIB. The Chapter explains the Preamble to the AIIB Charter, and compares it with other Charters. Then the separate clauses that govern AIIB’s legal purpose and AIIB’s functions are described, and also compared to the similar clauses for other multilateral development banks. Key elements are regional economic development, development finance, infrastructure investment, supplementing private finance and multilateral collaboration. AIIB’s cooperation arrangements with other international organizations are summarized. This Chapter concludes by enumerating the clauses in the AIIB Charter where the purpose and functions have particular legal significance, setting a framework for AIIB to evolve into new areas and functions.

Full text
Abstract:
The chapter addresses Russian national identity by applying the concept of biopolitics. This approach constitutes a departure from dominant schools of thought, which view contemporary Russian political and social concepts through traditional lenses: institutional change, state–society relations, centre–periphery controversies, etc. Biopolitics offers a specific way of anchoring the uncertain Russian identity in a set of consensually understood nodal points that encapsulate bodily practices of corporeal discipline and control. The chapter argues that Putin’s regime utilises such a biopolitical approach to consolidate its rule, drawing on conservative norms that can be asserted through religious, gender-based or ‘Russian World’-grounded discourses. It examines this point through case studies of school education, anti-adoption legislation, the penitentiary system, family and reproductive health and other aspects.

Full text
Abstract:
The career of the playwright Frank McGuinness encapsulates the trajectory of identity politics in Ireland since the mid-1980s. McGuiness first achieved major recognition forObserve the Sons of Ulsterin 1985, a play by a Catholic playwright exploring the Ulster Unionist psyche and a continuum of male relationships from the homosexual to the homosocial. This play set the template for McGuinness’ future work, in which characters cross the expected boundaries of gender and cultural identity in ways that both transgress and respect existing categories. His later plays, such asCarthaginians(1988),Someone Who’ll Watch OverMe(1992),Mutabilitie(1997), andGates of Gold(2002), all incorporate slightly different perspectives on the general topics of Other, difference, and identity. Dramatic form reinforces those thematic concerns, and both characters and audiences must confront their own realities and negotiate differences.

Full text
Abstract:
Probability theory is a key tool of the physical, mathematical, and social sciences. It has also been playing an increasingly significant role in philosophy: in epistemology, philosophy of science, ethics, social philosophy, philosophy of religion, and elsewhere. This Handbook encapsulates and furthers the influence of philosophy on probability, and of probability on philosophy. Nearly forty articles summarize the state of play and present new insights in various areas of research at the intersection of these two fields. The volume begins with a primer on those parts of probability theory that we believe are most important for philosophers to know, and the rest is divided into seven main sections: history; formalism; alternatives to standard probability theory; interpretations and interpretive issues; probabilistic judgment and its applications; applications of probability: science; and applications of probability: philosophy.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter builds on the past to learn about the future: How does today’s use of tunnels differ from yesterday’s? What will tomorrow’s underground warfare look like? These questions are answered through the historical narrative and a database of over 40 years of New York Times reports on the use of tunnels in conflict. The NYT data fills some of the holes left by the absence of literature and helps shape the first typology of tunnels. This chapter offers conceptual and analytical tools for understanding and contending with tunnel warfare. It also encapsulates one of the book’s major arguments that, absent a major technological breakthrough, underground warfare is likely to intensify and continue its rapid diffusion in the coming years, following a pattern resembling that of suicide terrorism.

Papanikolaou, Eftychia. On the British Reception of Ken Russell’s Mahler. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199316090.003.0009.

Full text
Abstract:
Ken Russell’s Mahler (1974) constitutes aesthetically and historically one of the most idiosyncratic and rewarding composer biopics. With a train as locus of the diegesis, the narrative provides overlapping flashbacks interspersed with fantasy and dream sequences. The viewer must put together Mahler’s life as if in a temporal puzzle, in a non-teleological fashion that contrasts with the linear progression of time implied by the train’s journey. Despite historical inconsistencies and extravagant presentation, the film offers commentary on a composer still being discovered. Its visual and aural synchronisations between Mahler’s memories and his music re-construct and manipulate Mahler’s—and also the audiences’—memories, and comment on the reception of Mahler’s life and music at that particular point in time, thus perpetuating existing images and ideologies. Rather than a study in myth-making, making encapsulates and appropriates the reception of the Mahler myth.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter treats the account of the courtroom activities—Q. Mucius Scaevola Augur defending himself when brought to trial for extortion in 119 BC by T. Albucius—in book 2 of Gaius Lucilius’ satires as an example of forensic oratory in post-Gracchan Republican Rome. The fragments of Lucilius’ verse record of the trial are considered in their historical and literary context, with a view to their influence on later satirical tradition. The fragments reveal intimations of force standing in for physical injury, problems resulting from the impact of philosophy on speaking styles, and ironies of mixed identity put to service in courtroom repartee. Lucilius is something of a stenographer, whose take on the trial is slanted towards its relevance for equestrians and its sensational elements redolent of Pacuvian tragedy; finally, the identification of poet and defendant encapsulates the trial’s interest and uniqueness.

Full text
Abstract:
This book presents a new model for the kingdoms that clustered around the northeast corner of the Mediterranean Sea during the Iron Age, ca. 1200–600 BCE. Rather than presenting them as an ancient version of the modern nation-state, characterized by homogenous ethnolinguistic communities like “the Aramaeans” or “the Luwians” living in neatly bounded territories, this book presents these polities as being fundamentally diverse and variable, distinguished by demographic fluidity and cultural mobility. This conclusion is reached via an examination of a host of evidentiary sources, including site plans, settlement patterns, visual arts, and historical sources. Together, these lines of evidence lead to the awareness that this time and place consisted of a complex fusion of cultural traditions that is nevertheless distinctly recognizable unto itself. This book thus proposes a new term to encapsulate that diversity: the Syro-Anatolian Culture Complex.

Katz, Joshua T. The Prehistory and Analogues of Hesiod’s Poetry. Edited by Alexander C. Loney and Stephen Scully. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190209032.013.35.

Full text
Abstract:
Hesiod’s indebtedness to Near Eastern material is more frequently discussed than the Indo-European background of his poetry. This chapter argues for a holistic understanding of how Indo-European prehistory and Near Eastern analogues contribute together to the formation of Hesiodic language and thought. Concentrating on Theogony 35, ἀλλὰ τίη μοι ταῦτα περὶ δρῦν ἢ περὶ πέτρην;, “But what are these things about a tree or a rock to me?,” I demonstrate that this enigmatic question encapsulates Hesiod’s role as mouthpiece at the head of the simultaneously Indo-European- and Near Eastern-based tradition of Greek poetry. By means of artful phonology here and throughout the proem, Hesiod highlights, in ways not previously noticed, the quite different sounds of the melodious Muses and their loud-thundering father, Zeus, who, like the Near Eastern storm god, has a robust association with prophetic oaks and stones.

Abstract:
The first part of this article discusses the different approaches to Mediterranean history. People talk of the Mediterranean and refer to the waters that stretch eastward from the Straits of Gibraltar, linked to the Red Sea by the man-made channel of the Suez Canal and to the Black Sea by the natural channel of the Dardanelles and Bosphorus. The discussion insists that the study of Mediterranean history encapsulates many important aspects of world history: it involves the investigation of connections between societies separated by extensive physical space, focusing on commercial networks, the building of empires, and the movement of peoples, These phenomena can be traced across the surface of the sea across which Europe, Africa, and Asia meet one another and over which Christianity and Islam have vigorously competed for dominion. The second part of this article focuses on the development of the ‘classic Mediterranean’ over time.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter investigates the historiography of the cult of the Holy Tear of Christ, La Sainte Larme, and explores the materiality and affective life of the relic. The apocryphal narrative tells that an angel caught the tears Christ shed on hearing about Lazarus’ death and gave them to Mary Magdalene for safekeeping. Around 1040, Geoffrey Martel received the relic of the Holy Tear as a reward for his military efforts. Enshrined at the Abbey of La Trinité, Vendôme, France, the Holy Tear enjoyed a robust devotion during the Middle Ages, attracting pilgrims from all over Europe. The end point for La Sainte Larme’s fame is the French Revolution, when the relic disappears. Christ’s Tear provides an exemplary case for emotion studies and material culture because it encapsulates religious piety and feeling, but, as an ephemeral bodily excretion, it presents interpretive challenges as an object.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter discusses application of legal doctrines and defenses within recreational sport settings. Many of the concepts discussed here are very general in that they apply to an array of recreational sport settings. Some are more specific to particular recreational situations. The general concepts are introduced so that the reader appreciates the way courts apply the law across various types of recreational sports cases. The more specific concepts involve problems that are relevant, timely, and somewhat unique to particular recreational sports. Ultimately, recreational sports law is not a field of law with its own distinct legal norms. Instead, “recreational sports law” encapsulates legal applications that are more common to recreational sport cases than to others. Exposure to the contents of this chapter will provide the reader with a more nuanced understanding of those legal applications of which recreational sport providers and participants need to be the most concerned.

Full text
Abstract:
As in spoken language, variation abounds in written texts. In the latter, linguistic and extralinguistic variation coexists: one finds variation in lexical and grammatical features, as well as in other textual parameters such as orthography, phraseology and formulary, palaeography, layout, and formatting. Such variation occurs both within the written output of individuals and across broader corpora that represent ‘communities’ of diverse types. To encapsulate this, we use the inclusive term ‘scribal repertoires’, a concept that is intended to cover the entire set of linguistic and non-linguistic practices that are prone to variation within and between manuscripts, while placing focus on scribes as socially and culturally embedded agents, whose choices are reflected in texts. This conceptualization of scribal variation, inspired by the relatively recent field of historical sociolinguistics, is applied to a range of phenomenon in the scribal cultures of premodern Egypt, across languages and socio-historical settings.

Abstract:
The “utopia” of Montaigne’s “Of cannibals” has been much studied as wishful fantasy of a New World and condemnation of old Europe's decay, colonizing and conquest. Its Americans and those in “Of coaches” become Europe’s Others, giving Montaigne and his critic means to judge their own culture. But his utopia is as much about understanding himself. It references local history and rhetorical tradition, engaging “conflicts” of rational experience and speculative reason as sources of knowledge that he encapsulates in his topography/cosmography opposition and in the syntax, structure, and meaning of the Essay's preface that directly echo those in “Of cannibals.” Montaigne fuses his quest to know himself and his society, his writing, his ideals of reason and experience with his evaluation of the New World and its peoples, in likeness, not otherness. His “precolonial” eye imagines cultural, political, and trade negotiations among new and old nations and peoples in equality not violence.

Abstract:
This chapter considers some of the varieties of the minor party from the origins of the modern party system in the mid-nineteenth century. It considers the wider effects which can sometimes be traced to even the also-rans among them and concludes by evaluating the issues raised by the extensive historical literatures devoted to Britain’s far-left and far-right parties. The histories of both may be regarded as instances of relative party failure, but both have occasioned much fruitful debate as to how far this demonstrated their alien and extrinsic political character and how far, conversely, these were movements anchored in British political culture. It argues that the Communist Party of Great Britain, in particular, encapsulates the paradox of the minor party phenomenon. Like the other parties considered, it offers both the confirmation of a sort of two-party electoral hegemony and a reminder of its limitations in everything except elections.

Abstract:
This article encapsulates some of the problems that rampaged Germany apart from politics. The ongoing relevance of religion in the search for meaning in postwar Germany, amidst growing discontent with the churches as organized bodies and their professional representatives; the ways in which their lack of resistance against the anti-Jewish policies of the Nazi regime haunted the Christian churches after 1945. Amidst the rubble of the society of the immediate postwar period, bishops, priests, and theologians of both Christian churches agreed that a rebuilding of the moral and political order could only succeed through a reaffirmation of Christian values. Rebuilding the moral compass and the international authority of the Germans would, hence, require a rechristianization of society. Statistics showing that people rejoined the churches in droves seemed to support these claims for a rechristianization of German society. This article analyses the culmination of religions within the German society post Second World War.

Abstract:
‘Populism’ unites different political positions and strategies that can’t be summed up in a concept which clearly encapsulates all those heterogeneous phenomena. The contributions in this volume therefore address a strategic space in which analyses of populist movements also locate themselves. They, too, take a stance on the problem of democratic representation when they deal with the populist reference to the ‘people’. Social conflict scenarios and the problems of democratic legitimation strategies and functional processes must be taken into account when discussing the populist challenge. This makes critical positioning or the appeal to an enlightened form of rationality difficult: they remain entangled in problems of authorisation and representation; they refer to justifications which presuppose that common ground which threatens to be lost; and they themselves must be wary of the emotions and resentments that they criticise.

Abstract:
More often than not, the blitz was represented by bombed churches. Images of St Paul’s Cathedral soaring above smoke and, in a more tragic key, the ruins of St Michael’s Cathedral in Coventry encapsulate the values that Britons thought they were fighting for in the Second World War. John Piper, Cecil Beaton, Hanslip Fletcher, and other visual artists, many of them employed by the War Artists’ Advisory Committee (WAAC), expressed their ideas about British heritage through paintings, drawings, and photographs of church architecture. At the same time, writers such as Virginia Woolf, John Strachey, John Betjeman, and Louis MacNeice modulated their patriotism—with quibbles and caveats—into ‘a faith to fight for’. Drawing on poetry, novels, tracts, newspaper articles, and visual culture, this chapter demonstrates the propagandistic value of bombed churches during the Second World War, then flashes forward to the consecration of the rebuilt cathedral in Coventry, which opened with great fanfare and an arts festival in May 1962.

Abstract:
Each Concentrate revision guide is packed with essential information, key cases, revision tips, exam Q&As, and more. Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter discusses mortgages. A mortgage is a proprietary interest that can be legal or equitable in status. The equity of redemption encapsulates the rights of a mortgagor and includes the equitable right to redeem and the ability to have certain clauses struck out from a mortgage agreement. The mortgagor of a dwelling house has special legislative protection. Where a mortgage is obtained under undue influence, be it actual or presumed, it may be set aside. The mortgagee has various remedies available to it should the mortgagor fail to meet the mortgage payments, dependent upon the status of the mortgage. A property may be subject to more than one mortgage and where this is the case and the property is sold, proceeds from the sale will be applied in order of priority.
