Abstract:

Abstract Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy provides, twice each year, a collection of the best current work in the field of ancient philosophy. Each volume features original essays that contribute to an understanding of a wide range of themes and problems in all periods of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, from the beginnings to the threshold of the Middle Ages. From its first volume in 1983, OSAP has been a highly influential venue for work in the field and has often featured essays of substantial length as well as critical essays on books of distinctive importance. Volume LX contains an examination of how in Parmenides’ poem what-is is constrained by justice; the way that forms are interrelated and indeed changed in Plato’s Sophist; his conception of perception in the Timaeus; Aristotle’s conception of substance and its relation to accidents in the Categories; a semantic argument of Epicurus in his On Nature 25 and how our preconception of causation is based on the awareness of our own agency; and a book review essay focused on the ontology of boundaries in Aristotle.

L. Austin’s unpublished lecture notes on Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and his treatment of loss of control (akrasia); an article on the Stoics’ theory of time and in particular Chrysippus’ conception of the present and of events; and two articles on Plotinus, one that identifies a distinct argument to show that there is a single, ultimate metaphysical principle; and a review essay discussing E. K. Emilsson’s recent book, Plotinus.

Abstract:

This book examines the significance of Whitehead’s first year of lectures at Harvard, recently published in the first volume of The Edinburgh Critical Edition of the Complete Works of Alfred North Whitehead--The Harvard Lectures of Alfred North Whitehead, 1924–1925: Philosophical Presuppositions of Science (2017). After spending a long career in England teaching mathematics, including publishing the seminal Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell, Whitehead was invited to join the Harvard philosophy department in 1924 at the age of 63. He would produce his most important philosophical works after his move to America, including Science and the Modern World and Process and Reality. His first year of Harvard lectures, edited together from the notes of his students, show for the first time Whitehead in the midst of developing his metaphysics and ‘philosophy of organism’ that would appear in a more polished form in his published writings. These essays by leading Whitehead scholars discuss how long-standing interpretations of Whitehead’s philosophy can now be challenged or confirmed.

Abstract:

The last years of Pamela’s life were marked by further illness but also by a remarkable dedication to work. She was hospitalized several times for respiratory illnesses, but in 1974 she published a book of autobiographical essays, Important to Me, which covered such topics as memories of her father, her relationship with Dylan Thomas, her visits to the USSR, and her friendship with other writers such as Edith Sitwell. After months of undiagnosed pain, Snow died in 1980 of a perforated ulcer and Pamela died almost one year later of congestive heart failure and respiratory illness exacerbated by having smoked since the age of fourteen. Yet characteristically she worked courageously until the very end on a novel published posthumously: A Bonfire, which similarly to her first novel deals explicitly with sexual desire. Her ashes were scattered at Stratford-upon-Avon, a place she visited every year on Shakespeare’s birthday.

The Concentrate Questions and Answers series offers the best preparation for tackling exam and assignment questions. Each book includes key debates, typical questions, diagram answer plans, suggested answers, author commentary and tips to gain extra marks. The aim of Concentrate Q&A Family Law 2015 and 2016 is to show candidates how to display their learning. This chapter starts with tips for writing essays and answering problem questions, which are followed by four lists of exam hints. Where relevant, the assumption is that the exam is to be set internally. The first list consists of preparation advice, whilst the second and third cover the exam itself. Some of the points made in these lists are obviously applicable to any exam, law or otherwise. Even third-year students may gain from these lists, if only by way of a refresher course. The fourth list is exclusively concerned with family law exams (and assignments).

Full text

Abstract:

The tried and tested, not the new and original, became the norm early in the over-400-year history of opera, the Ur-adaptive art: because opera is a costly art form to produce, misjudging one’s audience can be disastrous. This may explain the persistence of a version of that familiar, limiting fidelity theory that has gone out of fashion in recent years in other areas. Since the Romantic period, opera’s tradition of Werktreue has demanded authenticity in realizing the operatic work authenticated by tradition. This has made the critical acceptance of adaptations of opera to film, for instance, a challenge. This essay theorizes not only adaptation into opera but also the adaptation of operas to both old and new media. The first, opera as adaptation, is especially complex, for it involves a series of stages: adapted text to libretto; libretto set to musical score; both libretto and score put on stage.

Full text

Abstract:

The year 1714 was a revolutionary one for Dissenters across the British Empire. The Hanoverian Succession upended a political and religious order antagonistic to Protestant non-conformity and replaced it with a regime that was, ostensibly, sympathetic to the Whig interest. The death of Queen Anne and the dawn of Hanoverian Rule presented Dissenters with fresh opportunities and new challenges as they worked to negotiate and legitimize afresh their place in the polity. The essays in this collection examine how Dissenters and their allies in a range of geographic contexts confronted and adapted to the Hanoverian order. Collectively, they argue that though generally overlooked compared to the Glorious Revolution of 1688–9 or the 1707 Act of Union, 1714 was a pivotal moment with far reaching consequences for Dissenters at home and abroad. By decentralizing the narrative beyond England and exploring dissenting reactions in Scotland, Ireland and North America, the authors in this volume demonstrate the extent to which the Succession influenced the politics and touched the lives of ordinary people across the British Atlantic world. As well as offering a thorough breakdown of confessional tensions within Britain during the short and medium terms, this volume also marks the first attempt to look at the complex interaction between religious communities in consequence of the Hanoverian Succession.

Anderson, Virginia, ed. Interviews with American Composers. University of Illinois Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.5622/illinois/9780252043994.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

This collection of interviews, published for the first time, advances our knowledge of musical thought, technique, education, life, and work in American composition in and around 1972. That year the composer Barney Childs began to conduct a series of interviews (or “conversations,” as he called them) with a diverse set of American new music composers who were then around thirty-forty years old. The composers determined the topics and content of the conversations, resulting in honest assessments of their concerns at the time of the interview, delivered with personal observations, humor, and passion. Childs was unable to interest publishers in his book, as the composers were young and just established, so he put them away. After intensive restoration, the surviving twenty-three conversations and fragments (Childs mentioned twenty-five completed interviews of a planned thirty-two) include many composers who have influenced the course of American concert music in the years since. Their styles are varied and include minimalism and imminent postminimalism, serialism, electronics, opera, pop and jazz crossovers, multimedia, and other areas of musical activity. Their conversations, enhanced and contextualized for present-day readers in essays by experts on the life and music of each composer, offer a unique glimpse into the state of being American in musical life in 1972, and a perspective on how American music became what it is today.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1930, the same year he moved into a slave-built antebellum mansion in his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, William Faulkner published his first work of fiction that gave serious attention to the experience and perspective of an enslaved individual. For the next two decades, he repeatedly returned to the theme of slavery and the figures of the enslaved while probing the racial, economic, and political contours of his region, nation, and hemisphere, in fictions including a number of his most important novels: The Sound and the Fury, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom!, and Go Down, Moses. Slavery’s multifold legacies profoundly shaped Faulkner’s fictions themselves, the world he wrote about, and the world in which he wrote, as detailed in the thirteen essays collected here. Contributors examine the constitutive links among slavery, capitalism, and modernity across Faulkner’s oeuvre; how the history of slavery at the University of Mississippi informs writings like Absalom, Absalom!; trace how slavery’s topologies of the rectilinear grid or square run up against the more reparative geography of the oval in Faulkner’s narratives; explore how slave histories literally sound and resound across centuries of history, and across multiple novels and stories, in Faulkner’s fictional county of Yoknapatawpha; and reveal how the author’s remodeling work on his own residence brought him into an awkward engagement with the spatial and architectural legacies of chattel slavery in north Mississippi. Faulkner and Slavery offers a timely intervention not only in the critical study of the writer’s work but in ongoing national and global conversations about the afterlives of slavery and the necessary work of antiracism.

Cortazzi, Hugh. Georges Bigot and Japan 1882-1889. Edited by Christian Polak. Amsterdam University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/9781898823766.

Full text

Abstract:

Incorporating over 250 illustrations, this is the first comprehensive study in English of French artist and caricaturist George Ferdinand Bigot (1860-1927) who, during the last two decades of the nineteenth century, was renowned in Japan but barely known in his own country. Even today, examples of his cartoons appear in Japanese school textbooks. Inspired by what he saw of Japanese culture and way of life at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1878, Bigot managed to find his way to Japan in 1882 and immediately set about developing his career as an artist working in pen and ink, watercolours and oils. He also quickly exploited his talent as a highly skilled sketch artist and cartoonist. His output was prodigious and included regular commissions from The Graphic and various Japanese as well as French journals. He left Japan in 1899, never to return. The volume includes a full introduction of the life, work and artistry of Bigot by Christian Polak, together with an essay by Hugh Cortazzi on Charles Wirgman, publisher of Japan Punch. Wirgman was Bigot’s ‘predecessor’ and friend (he launched his own satirical magazine in 1887, the year Japan Punch closed). Georges Bigot and Japan also makes a valuable contribution to Meiji studies and the history of both Franco- and Anglo-Japanese relations, as well as the role of art in modern international relations.

Bird, Wendell. The Revolution in Freedoms of Press and Speech. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197509197.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

This book discusses the revolutionary broadening of concepts of freedoms of press and speech in Great Britain and in America during the quarter century before the First Amendment and Fox’s Libel Act. The conventional view of the history of freedoms of press and speech is that the common law since antiquity defined those freedoms narrowly. In that view, Sir William Blackstone in 1769, and Lord Chief Justice Mansfield in 1770, faithfully summarized that common law in giving very narrow definitions of those freedoms as mere liberty from prior restraint and not as liberty from punishment after printing or speaking (the political crimes of seditious libel and seditious speech). Today, that view continues to be held by neo-Blackstonians, and remains dominant or at least very influential among historians. Neo-Blackstonians claim that the Framers used freedom of press “in a Blackstonian sense to mean a guarantee against previous restraints” with no protection against “subsequent restraints” (punishment) of seditious expression. Neo-Blackstonians further claim that “[n]o other definition of freedom of the press by anyone anywhere in America before 1798” existed. This book, by contrast, concludes that a broad definition and understanding of freedoms of press and speech was the dominant context of the First Amendment and of Fox’s Libel Act. Its basis is hundreds of examples of a broad understanding of freedoms of press and speech, in both Britain and America, in the late eighteenth century. For example, a book published in London in 1760 by a Scottish lawyer, George Wallace, stated that it is tyranny “to restrain the freedom of speculative disquisitions,” and because “men have a right to think for themselves, and to publish their thoughts,” it is “monstrous … under the pretext of the authority of laws, which ought never to have been enacted … attempting to restrain the liberty of the press” (seditious libel law). This book also challenges the conventional view of Blackstone and the neo-Blackstonians. Blackstone and Mansfield did not find any definition in the common law, but instead selected the narrowest definition in popular essays from the prior seventy years. Blackstone misdescribed it as an accepted common law definition, which in fact did not exist, and a year later Mansfield inserted a similar definition into the common law for the first time. Both misdescribed that narrow definition and the unique rules for prosecuting sedition as ancient. They were leading a counter-revolution, cloaked as a summary of a narrow and ancient common law doctrine that was neither.

Abstract:

This handbook is currently in development, with individual articles publishing online in advance of print publication. At this time, we cannot add information about unpublished articles in this handbook, however the table of contents will continue to grow as additional articles pass through the review process and are added to the site. Please note that the online publication date for this handbook is the date that the first article in the title was published online. For more information, please read the site FAQs. In order to make quality strategic decisions, managers need a deep understanding of industry dynamics and enterprise capabilities. In this book, we present a conceptual framework that will help executives lead their organizations in highly competitive global markets. For some, it will change frames of reference and accepted priorities in terms of what’s important for the enterprise to build, own, and manage. Management theory is young and fragmented, and generally not much of a guide for executives, except around certain narrow issues. The framework presented in this volume can be helpful with the big-picture issues. To be useful, a theoretical framework must be flexible enough to provide guidance in a variety of situations. However, the theory must not be so general that it fails to speak to practical management problems. Another useful attribute is parsimony, so that an overwhelming number of variables don’t render analysis an impossible task. This book includes a number of essays about the Dynamic Capabilities Framework (Teece et al., 1990, 1997; Teece, 2007), which increasingly provides an intellectual infrastructure for both theoretical and applied analyses of strategic management and other issues facing business decision makers. Since 2006, articles concerning dynamic capabilities have been published in business and management journals at a rate of more than 100 per year (Di Stefano et al., 2010). And an increasing number of these articles contain new empirical research validating the Dynamic Capabilities approach to competitive advantage. A broad panoply of scholars and executives are contributing to the further development of this framework. This book summarizes and integrates many of these contributions, and this introduction will introduce some of the major themes of the chapters that follow.
