Orzoff, Andrea. Interwar Democracy and the League of Nations. Edited by Nicholas Doumanis. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199695669.013.16.
Full textAbstract:
Historians and contemporaries saw interwar democracy as incomplete, illegitimate, and inept. The League of Nations has been similarly characterized. Yet democracy endured across the Continent, threatened far more by Nazism than by internal actors. The League’s democratic internationalism failed to prevent a second world war, sanctioned Great Power imperialism, and neglected minority problems especially in Eastern Europe. But the League’s Secretariat shaped international discourse on humanitarian norms for the rest of the century, working with institutions and non-governmental organizations to bring about real good. This essay offers a tour d’horizon of interwar European democracy and democratic internationalism. While not minimizing the destructive influence of the radical right, it notes that in many cases seemingly undemocratic groups, institutions, and practices ended up stabilizing democracy.

Ruffing, Kai. Gifts for Cyrus, Tribute for Darius. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198803614.003.0007.
Full textAbstract:
In the introduction to the famous list of nomes Herodotus offers a rather idiosyncratic characterization of Darius I by means of calling him a huckster. Furthermore, he maintains that Cyrus II received gifts, whereas since the time of Darius the people of the Persian Empire had to pay tribute (phoros). Both issues are discussed against the background of Athenian history and political life in the fifth century BC. It is argued that Herodotus here as elsewhere in the Histories used the Persian Empire and its Kings as a mirror for the developments of his own times. In doing so he offers his opinions as to why the Persians failed in waging war against the Greeks, and consequently, the Athenians’ defeat in the war against the Spartans as well.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the options for managing pain after orthopedic spinal surgery in the lumbosacral spine. It reviews the pain syndromes associated with different approaches to the lumbar spine. The chapter explores specific pain syndromes such as failed back syndrome while noting that the majority of pain after spinal surgery results from dissection of soft tissue and muscles. The chapter then discusses oral and parenteral methods for analgesia, as well as spinal and regional nerve blockade. It provides details on the common regimens for pain management including the use of opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gabapentin, acetaminophen, ketamine, and patient-controlled analgesia (both classical intravenous and transdermal iterations). The chapter also notes the use of multimodal analgesic regimens to promote pain control while reducing the risk of opioid-related adverse effects.

Full textAbstract:
People of European descent and of African descent who struggled for equal rights agreed that education, including higher education, was essential for black advancement. When white reformers in the 1830s considered ways for people of color to attain equal rights, they, like black reformers, almost always gravitated to uplift. The prejudice of their times, they thought, would disappear as African Americans acquired education and middle-class values. Sunday schools, evening schools, writing schools, and other schools for black children and occasionally for black adults began appearing to fill basic needs. This chapter provides in-depth analysis and description of the attempt to create an African American college in New Haven, Prudence Crandall's school in Canterbury, Connecticut, and the Noyes Academy in Canaan, New Hampshire. Each of these experiments began with optimism and idealism, and each failed because of white opposition and violence.

Platte, Nathan. “Together” for the Last Time in Since You Went Away. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199371112.003.0010.
Full textAbstract:
Rather than one score, Since You Went Away has slightly more than two: a rejected attempt by concert composer Alexandre Tansman and another by Max Steiner that includes multiple versions of many cues. In addition to these scores, Selznick’s notes on the score are voluminous, reflecting his desire to match his two consecutive “Best Pictures” (Gone with the Wind and Rebecca) while also contributing to the war effort through patriotic filmmaking. The result is a mixed but engrossing effort, characterized by biographer David Thomson as Selznick’s most personal film. The producer’s investment is evident throughout the score, and this chapter assesses both positive and negative consequences, including a failed attempt to engage Bernard Herrmann, Alexandre Tansman’s ignominious dismissal, Steiner’s pragmatic reuse of associative themes from earlier Selznick films, and a new, music-based publicity campaign led by Ted Wick.

Colesworthy, Rebecca. Coda. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198778585.003.0007.
Full textAbstract:
The book concludes by turning to Lévi-Strauss’s short essay, “New York in 1941,” in which he recounts his surprise at finding a Native American taking notes with a pen at the New York Public Library while he was conducting research for The Elementary Structures of Kinship, published in 1949. Recalling that H.D.’s The Gift was written during this same period and similarly features a cross-cultural encounter between Native Americans and Europeans, the Coda suggests that Lévi-Strauss’s encounter constitutes an instance of failed exchange—a moment when he might have imagined that writing and not woman is the “supreme gift,” the fundamental medium of exchange. The work of Woolf, Rhys, Stein, and H.D. offers a critical counterpoint to Lévi-Strauss’s both in privileging writing’s mediating power and in self-consciously wrestling with the risk of failure that haunts every gift of writing and which, historically, has shadowed women’s writing in particular.

Zola, Émile. Money. Translated by Valerie Minogue. Oxford University Press, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/owc/9780199608379.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
‘The irresistible power of money, a lever that can lift the world. Love and money are the only things.’ Aristide Rougon, known as Saccard, is a failed property speculator determined to make his way once more in Paris. Unscrupulous, seductive, and with unbounded ambition, he schemes and manipulates his way to power. Financial undertakings in the Middle East lead to the establishment of a powerful new bank and speculation on the stock market; Saccard meanwhile conducts his love life as energetically as he does his business, and his empire is seemingly unstoppable. Saccard, last encountered in The Kill (La Curée) in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series, is a complex figure whose story intricately intertwines the worlds of politics, finance, and the press. The repercussions of his dealings on all levels of society resonate disturbingly with the financial scandals of more recent times. This is the first new translation for more than a hundred years, and the first unabridged translation in English. The edition includes a wide-ranging introduction and useful historical notes.

Full textAbstract:
This collection presents two sets of lectures that Woodward delivered at mid-century, LSU's Fleming Lectures in 1951 and Cornell's Messenger Lectures in 1964 along with one lecture taken from Yale’s Storrs Lectures in 1969. These lectures reflect Woodward's life-long interest in exploring the contours and limits of nineteenth-century liberalism. The editors draw on correspondence, Woodward's personal notes, and unpublished essays to chronicle his failed attempts to finish a much-awaited comprehensive history of Reconstruction, which he saw as the natural outgrowth of the Messenger Lectures. The letdown involving the latter project is all the more significant given that he had come to imagine the book as a companion to the Origins of the New South, one of the most lasting pieces of scholarship in the field. The Introduction focuses on the antebellum and Reconstruction periods, situating them in the context of mid-twentieth century historiographical debates. These reprinted lectures offer readers new perspectives on one of the most important authorities on the history of the late nineteenth and twentieth-century South.

Brink, David O. The Path to Completion. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198805601.003.0010.
Full textAbstract:
Attempted wrongdoing is wrong and deserves censure and sanction, provided the agent was responsible for her attempt. One conception of attempts, incorporated in the criminal law, treats them as bivalent. The important question is at what point in an agent’s planning, preparation, and execution of an offense the attempt is completed. However, bivalence fails to recognize partially complete attempts and is unable to give a satisfying account of the criminal law defense of abandonment. This essay explores an alternative conception of attempts as historical and scalar. On this view, attempts involve the implementation of temporally extended decision trees that pass through many nodes and terminate in a last act. This view rejects bivalence, because at many points within the decision tree there is only a partially complete attempt, and it provides a more satisfying account of abandonment, precisely because it can recognize attempts that are partially complete.

Helm, Dieter R. Long-run Resource Scarcity. Edited by Gordon L. Clark, Maryann P. Feldman, Meric S. Gertler, and Dariusz Wójcik. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198755609.013.7.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers whether long-run resource scarcity limits economic growth. It distinguishes between renewable and non-renewable resources, as types of natural capital. Using the example of oil, it shows that the depletion of non-renewables is not a binding constraint. It critiques the peak oil concept, and, in particular, notes that it fails to take account of either technical progress or the impact of prices in allocating resources. On renewables there are serious depletion concerns; the chapter advances the aggregate natural capital rule, and sets out how this provides a rigorous asset-base constraint on sustainable economic growth. The operationalization of this rule requires a natural capital balance sheet, a risk register for renewable resources, and the provision of capital maintenance.

Defoe, Daniel. Roxana. Edited by John Mullan. Oxford University Press, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/owc/9780199536740.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Roxana (1724), Defoe’s last and darkest novel, is the autobiography of a woman who has traded her virtue, at first for survival, and then for fame and fortune. Its narrator tells the story of her own ‘wicked’ life as the mistress of rich and powerful men. A resourceful adventuress, she is also an unforgiving analyst of her own susceptibilities, who tells us of the price she pays for her successes. Endowed with many seductive skills, she is herself seduced: by money, by dreams of rank, and by the illusion that she can escape her own past. Unlike Defoe’s other penitent anti-heroes, however, she fails to triumph over these weaknesses. The novel’s drama lies not only in the heroine’s ‘vast variety of fortunes’, but in her attempts to understand the sometimes bitter lessons of her life as a ‘Fortunate Mistress’. Defoe’s achievement was to invent, in ‘Roxana’, a gripping story-teller as well as a gripping story. This edition uses the rare first edition text, with a new introduction, detailed notes, textual history, and a map.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter works in two directions. First, it examines how Beckett’s artistic techniques reflect political aspiration. Beckett’s literalizing techniques—for instance, his making ironically literal, corporeal, and physical various rhetorics—partly reflect and engage a fear about political power: that authoritarian power aims to have the leader’s words enacted, something Beckett notes in Nazi Germany. Second, the chapter examines how Beckett has narrators perform the reverse: how they aim to preserve words and categories from denotations acquired by recent historical violence. In Malone Dies, the narrator seeks to contain connotations safely for aesthetic meanings that anesthetize the past. But Beckett has Malone fail. And this dynamic—where a narrator tries to neutralize violent history on the level of interpretation while sentences nevertheless have it resurface—expresses The Three Novels’ mistrust for aesthetic attempts to process trauma and dramatizes the complicity of art and language in covering up the past.

Full textAbstract:
David Hume launched a historic revolution in epistemology, but allies appeared only in the twentieth century, in the persons of Sir Karl Popper, Nelson Goodman, and W. V. Quine. Hume’s second great contribution to the field was to propose reflective equilibrium theory as the framework within which to understand epistemic justification. The core of this book comprises an account of these developments from Hume to Quine, and an extension of reflective equilibrium theory that renders it a general theory of epistemic justification concerning our beliefs about the world. In chapters on Sextus, Descartes, Wittgenstein, and various aspects of Hume’s epistemology, the author defends new readings of those philosophers’ writings on skepticism and notes significant relationships among their views. Finally, in appendices on Hilary Putnam’s “Brains in a Vat” and Fred Dretske’s contextualism, the author shows that both fail to rule out the possible truth of radical skeptical hypotheses. This is not surprising, since those hypotheses are in fact possible. They do not, however, have any epistemological significance, since epistemic justification is a function of the extent to which our bodies of beliefs are in reflective equilibrium, and no extant conception of knowledge is of any epistemological interest.

Full textAbstract:
In India, elite law firms offer a surprising oasis for women within a hostile, predominantly male industry. Less than 10 percent of the country's lawyers are female, but women in the most prestigious firms are significantly represented both at entry and partnership. Elite workspaces are notorious for being unfriendly to new actors, so what allows for aberration in certain workspaces? This book examines how a range of underlying mechanisms — gendered socialization and essentialism, family structures and dynamics, and firm and regulatory histories — afford certain professionals egalitarian outcomes that are not available to their local and global peers. Juxtaposing findings on the legal profession with those on elite consulting firms, the book reveals that parity arises not from a commitment to create feminist organizations, but from structural factors that incidentally come together to do gender differently. Simultaneously, the book offers notes of caution: while conditional convergence may create equality in ways that more targeted endeavors fail to achieve, “accidental” developments are hard to replicate, and are, in this case, buttressed by embedded inequalities. The book examines whether gender parity produced without institutional sanction should still be considered feminist. In offering new ways to think about equality movements and outcomes, the book forces readers to critically consider the work of intention in progress narratives.

James A, Green. Part III The Limitations and Role of the Persistent Objector Rule, 9 The Role and Value of the Persistent Objector Rule. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198704218.003.0010.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the ‘role’ or ‘value’ of the persistent objector rule. Firstly, the chapter sets out and critiques the voluntarist conception of the persistent objector rule in more detail than has been done in previous chapters. It then considers competing theoretical approaches to international legal obligation, broadly grouped together as being ‘communitarian’ in nature. Such communitarian approaches have tended to dismiss the persistent objector rule along with their dismissal of voluntarism. It is argued that holistic, absolutist theoretical accounts of customary international law fail to take into account its chaotic nature in reality. The chapter therefore argues this it is problematic to appraise the value of the persistent objector rule from the perspective of either voluntarism or communitarianism. Drawing upon some insights from rational choice theory, it is argued that the rule is inherently one of balance, and that its true value lies in its practical benefits both for individual objectors and the wider international community. The chapter then assesses the rule's various functional benefits as a ‘safety valve’. The chapter also examines the contributions that persistent objection can make to the development of customary international law. At the end of the chapter, the text briefly notes that many of the benefits of the persistent objector rule may, at least in part, stem from the perception of state autonomy that it creates.
