Full textAbstract:
Ireland in the early 1990s began to undergo social changes at an unprecedented rate. Friel and Murphy, the two playwrights who had established themselves as the leading figures in Irish theatre over the previous three decades, responded to this social change by producing a series of plays that were memory-based (such as Friel’sDancing at Lughnasa), or which traced the continuing role of a past that seemed forgotten in the present (notably in Murphy’sThe House). Many other emergent playwrights in this period, including Sebastian Barry, Billy Roche, Conor McPherson, and Patricia Burke Brogan, made use of traditional techniques of storytelling and themes of alienation to explore a similar territory of community, loss, and memory. This chapter traces continuities in Irish theatre in a changing social landscape.

Full textAbstract:
Friedrich Schiller, the grand master of the classical aesthetic of autonomy, was also a political thinker. In the 1790s, reading Immanuel Kant upset him, as did the French Revolution: abuse of power, political resistance, conspiracy and tyrannicide are just a few of the genuinely political themes that he repeatedly varies in literary terms. The articles in this volume consider the connection between the political, legal and ethical dimensions of Schiller's work. In addition to his 'big' dramas as well as his philosophical and historical writings, they examine the nexus of ethics, law and politics at the 'margins' of his work, in both his short works and his literary fragments.

The contributions to the 2020 edition of OSCE Insights examine the various crises the OSCE faced during that year. Themes include the efforts of the Minsk Group to manage the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and the implications of anti-coronavirus measures for the OSCE Code of Conduct on Politico-Military Aspects of Security. Furthermore, authors analyse OSCE conflict cycle tools, the OSCE’s role in the fight against antisemitism, the increasingly limited space for supporting democratic police governance in Central Asia, trust-building in the field of arms control, societal views on the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, relations between the OSCE and the Council of Europe, and Kazakhstan’s aspirations for hosting a connectivity center.

Full textAbstract:
Among the various forms of social memory discussed by Chris Wickham and James Fentress in Social Memory, topographic memory was given rather short shrift: by this I mean the memory formed by and attached to places. To illustrate this theme I chose three sites with a Roman past: Cosa (Ansedonia), the monastery of S. Sebastiano at Alatri, and finally Volubilis in Morocco. These illustrate three different ways in which local memory of Roman sites was transmitted into the Middle Ages, and the reciprocal effects of this memory on the sites themselves, and on those who lived there.

Schools of thought in International Relations (IR) are increasingly differentiating to match with the multipolar power distribution. Yet, the newly implemented strands are facing criticism for the lack of a generally accepted systematic framework. Furthermore, there are ambiguities with regard to the possible applications and explanations for the theoretical approaches. Against this background, the KFIBS research group “International Relations Theories and Foreign Policy Research” discusses current trends and debates in IR, using selected theoretical approaches and applying them to empirical case studies to evaluate their performance.

This book focuses on the relation between citizenship education and cultural education. It provides answers to the question of where the line between citizenship and cultural education is to be drawn—and if there is any at all. The issue of which approaches to cultural education can be productive for citizenship education is also raised. The articles the book contains introduce the chances offered by and limits to citizenship and cultural education as well as concrete approaches to identifying a link between them. This includes citizenship education through literature, theatre, music, fashion, computer games, etc. With contributions byFrederik Achatz, Michele Barricelli, Santina Battaglia, Helle Becker, Anja Besand, Sabine Dengel, Werner Friedrichs, Markus Gloe, Annegret Jansen, Ingo Juchler, Paul Mecheril,Tonio Oeftering, Sebastian Puhl, Sven Rößler, David Salomon.

Work, employment and their regulation have been facing profound challenges in the digital economy. This book analyzes the resulting dynamics of autonomy and control on crowdworking platforms in an interdisciplinary perspective, which brings together law, sociology and organisation studies. On the basis of empirical studies of crowdworking in Germany, the authors find crowdworking platforms to be recursive and adaptive. Therefore, regulators should not make the mistake of reducing them to placing services.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between law and technology is becoming increasingly complex due to the rapid advance of digitization and the development of new and "smart" technologies. Traditional anthropocentric concepts of law seem to be in question. Moreover, the ways in which law is made and applied are changing. In the face of new and adaptive technologies, must law and its enforcement themselves become more adaptive, and how can this be done? In their contributions to the 6th GRUR Young Science conference, young scientists will address these questions from the perspective of intellectual property, media, competition, information and data protection law and will present their theses for discussion at the online conference organized at Bucerius Law School on June 4 and 5, 2021.

Full textAbstract:
Writings about Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B Minor are dominated by discussions of parody, the origin of most of the Mass in music Bach had composed for other texts and purposes. There are reasons to study parody, but it arguably has little to do with the experience of hearing the work. A focus on parody can lead to fallacious understanding, mistaking the work’s genesis for its meaning, or imagining we can divine the composer’s intent. The suspicion or knowledge of parody appears to help us understand the Mass but actually does not. Audible musical features, including those that point to particular kinds of compositions, can be informative but not because they point to parody. Some movements behave in unconventional ways. These are often related to the parody process, but we do not need to invoke parody to understand how they contribute to the work’s effect. Parody is probably overrated.

Melamed, Daniel R. The Musical Topic of the Mass in B Minor. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190881054.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
If there is a fundamental musical subject of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B Minor, a compositional problem the work explores, it is the tension between two styles cultivated in church music of Bach’s time. One style was modern and drew on up-to-date music such as the instrumental concerto and the opera aria. The other was old-fashioned and fundamentally vocal, borrowing and adapting the style of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, his sixteenth-century contemporaries, and his seventeenth-century imitators. The movements that make up Bach’s Mass can be read as exploring the entire spectrum of possibilities offered by these two styles (the modern and the antique), ranging from movements purely in one or the other to a dazzling variety of ways of combining the two. The work illustrates a fundamental opposition in early-eighteenth-century sacred music that Bach confronts and explores in the Mass.

This volume sheds light on the increasingly (geo-)political relevance of cyber conflicts and the importance of information asymmetries within them. The authors concretely examine the role of information asymmetries in the context of attribution, e.g. through the use of state proxies, in the resolution of cyber conflicts. In line with efforts to build and establish binding norms in the context of cyber operations, the third part of the volume explores the impact of such asymmetries on the diffusion and effectiveness of cyber norms.

The universities for the public service are increasingly emancipating themselves as academically profiled institutions in which top student achievements can also be observed. After the establishment of a nationwide award for outstanding academic theses in 2017, the growing number of applications is now being taken into account for the fourth time by this new type of anthology. From the optimization of administrative processes to the implementation of electric mobility to the dispute over federal electoral law or the work motives of young police officers, numerous orientations of the public service are prominently represented in this anthology. Particularly noteworthy are the innovative and comprehensively analyzed topics to which the students devoted themselves to their theses with particular meticulousness, dedication and ultimately great success - a clear sign of the performance of these universities.

Cron, Matthew. Music from Heaven. University of Illinois Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/illinois/9780252040191.003.0006.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides an eighteenth-century context for Johann Sebastian Bach’s cantatas with obbligato organ by showing how their various components engage in a larger discourse about the German Baroque organ: namely, its intimation of Heaven. There are almost 200 surviving church cantatas by Bach, eighteen of which contain movements where the organist transitions from a continuo player to a concertist. Modern scholarship has considered such compositions primarily from two perspectives: a historiographical perspective, which places them in the larger context of the history of the keyboard concerto; and a compositional perspective, which considers them as examples of the arrangement and reworking of previous musical material. This chapters examines how a particular yet widespread way of thinking about the organ gave rise to a fruitful context for the obbligato organ cantata in the early eighteenth century by analyzing Bach’s works from the perspective of an original listener—that is, as a member of the congregation. It argues that Bach’s libretto guided his instrumentation and that he often took advantage of the longstanding identification of the organ with Heaven.

Full textAbstract:
Our political times appear unstable: Liberal democracy is struggling to retain its inner balance and is being destabilised by both internal and external forces. How can stability be achieved — and what is stability? When does stability become undemocratic? And what can we learn from historical diagnoses of crises and instability for current debates on political, economic and international stability? Political theory and the history of political thought on stability offer answers to these questions: They examine stability as a fundamental norm of Democracy — and destabilise ideas of overly static stability.

Children´s Rights – A Handbook for practioners, ed. by Ingo Richter, Lothar Krappmann and Friederike Wapler. More than twenty years ago, the UN adopted the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. And, finally, after more than twenty years of public dispute, in 2018 the German government decided to incorporate the rights of children into the country’s constitution. But what are children´s rights? What does the UN Convention mean by children´s rights? Have they been implemented in Germany in the past, and how will they look in the future? In this handbook, fifteen legal experts from different fields, such as the family, education, work, the media, migration, data protection, criminality etc., try to find an encompassing answer to these questions. The book has been written for lawyers and social scientists, particularly for those who have to deal with these rights in their everyday work, so that they know how to implement them in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Politische Bewegungen unterschiedlichster Ausrichtung verzeichnen jüngst in vielen Demokratien starken Zulauf und zu Teilen beachtliche Wahlerfolge. Ihre vitale gesellschaftliche Verankerung, ihre beteiligungs- und aktionsfokussierte Organisation, ihre zugespitzte bis populistische Themensetzung scheint für viele Menschen von besonderer Strahlkraft. Damit setzen sie die etablierten Parteien unter Druck, die vielfach als personell, strukturell und inhaltlich wenig attraktiv wahrgenommen werden. Und doch sind und bleiben Parteien in der Demokratie systemrelevant, etwa als verlässliches, dauerhaftes Scharnier zwischen Gesellschaft und staatlichen Institutionen sowie für den demokratischen Wettbewerb um Themen und Konzepte. Die Beiträge in diesem Buch fragen unter anderem, wie es um das Verhältnis von Parteien und Bewegungen bestellt ist und wie die etablierten Parteien mit dem Erwartungs- und Veränderungsdruck umgehen, der aus dem Erfolg des Organisationsmodells »Bewegung« entsteht. Dazu bietet der Band mittels fundierter Analysen Einblicke in Entwicklungen in Deutschland und Europa.

Die Frage, was Philosophie ist und wie sie betrieben werden sollte, kann nicht ein für alle Mal beantwortet werden. Vielmehr muss jede Generation aufs Neue für sich klären, was unter einem philosophischen Problem zu verstehen ist und wie man philosophieren sollte. Die Verständigung darüber, was Philosophie ist, bildet somit einen Teil der philosophischen Tätigkeit selbst. Der Sammelband bietet eine Bestandsaufnahme des Selbstverständnisses von Philosophinnen und Philosophen unserer Zeit, die repräsentativ für die Vielfalt der Gegenwartsphilosophie ist. Diese Vielfalt ergibt sich einerseits aus der historischen und systematischen Breite der Themen, mit denen sich die Philosophie beschäftigt – den Feldern des Philosophierens. Darüber hinaus ist die Philosophie der Gegenwart andererseits auch dadurch charakterisiert, dass sie ihre Gegenstände auf verschiedene Weise, z. B. analytisch, phänomenologisch oder pragmatisch, untersucht. Diese Formen des Philosophierens konstituieren seine methodische Vielfalt.

Full textAbstract:
Katherine Mansfield’s ardent overture to Virginia Woolf launched a historic friendship of mutual admiration and fascination shot through with wary misunderstandings, rivalry, and envy. These comparative essays explore the shared terrain of these modernist women writers and shed new light on their 'curious & thrilling' literary relationship – absorbing, intimate, distant, secretly critical, competitive, sometimes foundering in ‘quicksands’ – and its profound impact on their creative imaginations. Critical essays include Katherine Mansfield Essay Prizewinner Karina Jakubowicz on Woolf’s Kew Gardens, Maud Ellmann on disgust, Maria DiBattista on these artists’ distinctive takes on ‘reality’, Sydney Janet Kaplan on the Conrad Aiken connection, and Christine Froula on Mansfield’s secrets. Creative artists include Vanessa Bell in painterly dialogue with her sister’s classic manifesto A Room of One’s Own, the celebrated novelist Ali Smith -- ‘Scotland’s Nobel-laureate-in-waiting’, says Irish playwright Sebastian Barry – whose ‘Getting Virginia Woolf’s Goat’ leads the creative section, ['and' deleted] Barbara Egel’s dramatic adaptation of Woolf’s story ‘Moments of Being: "Slater’s Pins Have No Points"’ and [deleted:original; add:] new poems by Jackie Jones and Maggie Rainey-Smith.

Full textAbstract:
One measure of a great performer is his or her capacity to define a major role for a generation. This chapter considers the acting styles and achievement of four such performers in some of their principal parts: Siobhán McKenna from her internationally acclaimed playing of Shaw’s Saint Joan to her last part, as Mommo in Murphy’sBailegangaire; Cyril Cusack as Christy Mahon, the Shaughraun, and Drumm in Hugh Leonard’sA Life; Donal McCann as Frank Hardy in Friel’sFaith Healer, the Captain inJuno and the Paycock, and Thomas Dunne in Sebastian Barry’sThe Steward of Christendom; the tour de force of Marie Mullen playing five different roles in DruidSynge. Tracing the work of these four actors over more than half a century allows the particular achievement of each to emerge, as do the points at which their careers overlap, allowing us to discern a distinctive Irish tradition of acting.

Full textAbstract:
There is a relationship between time and technology which has been obvious since the classical philosophies of time. Even telling the time necessitates technologies relating to measuring and counting. Technological developments have changed the temporal state of our reality. Key terms such as deceleration, synchronisation, prevention and de-temporalisation point to relevant problem areas in this respect. This yearbook, whose thematic focus is 2021, endeavours to reveal new technological and philosophical perspectives on the temporal conditions in which we think, communicate, work and live.

DATAM: Digital Approaches to Teaching the Ancient Mediterranean provides a series of new critical studies that explore digital practices for teaching the Ancient Mediterranean world at a wide range of institutions and levels. These practical examples demonstrate how gaming, coding, immersive video, and 3D imaging can bridge the disciplinary and digital divide between the Ancient world and contemporary technology, information literacy, and student engagement. While the articles focus on Classics, Ancient History, and Mediterranean archaeology, the issues and approaches considered throughout this book are relevant for anyone who thinks critically and practically about the use of digital technology in the college level classroom. DATAM features contributions from Sebastian Heath, Lisl Walsh, David Ratzan, Patrick Burns, Sandra Blakely, Eric Poehler, William Caraher, Marie-Claire Beaulieu and Anthony Bucci as well as a critical introduction by Shawn Graham and preface by Society of Classical Studies Executive Director Helen Cullyer.

Full textAbstract:
Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio has six parts that Bach performed on six days from Christmas to Epiphany. We usually experience it as a unified work, and Bach considered it one, but in some ways, its designation as a single oratorio was more conceptual than real. Our best tool for understanding the Oratorio’s original context might be a calendar. The work’s place in the church year helps us understand its construction and scoring, stimulates our thinking about the independence of its parts, and aids in examining the musical elements that make it a unified work. Despite modern attempts to invent a tradition of multiday Christmas pieces stretching back to the seventeenth century, there was no such tradition. Bach’s model was a central German practice of Passion settings spread over days or weeks. Bach could not present a Passion this way, but that was evidently his inspiration for the Christmas Oratorio.

Full textAbstract:
Zuerst bekannt geworden durch das auch in Medien und Öffentlichkeit diskutierte Buch »Warum es die Welt nicht gibt« (Berlin 2013), stellt Markus Gabriel seine zentralen philosophischen Thesen zum »Neutralen Realismus« nun auch einem philosophischen Fachpublikum zur Debatte. Dass es, wie Gabriel behauptet, »die Welt nicht gibt«, sondern nur die jeweiligen Dinge, die in verschiedenen »Sinnfeldern« auftreten, ohne dass sie sich einem übergreifenden Ganzen einzugliedern hätten, vermeidet den nach Gabriel verfehlten Gedanken, sie erfüllten sämtlich gewisse einheitliche Anforderungen wie eine Art Gütesiegel, das sie erst »welttauglich« machen würde. Ist ein in diesem Sinne »neutraler« Realismus die philosophisch beste und zugleich konsequent durchdachteste Option, die ein ontologischer Realismus einnehmen kann? Das Buch enthält die zwischen 2014 und 2016 im Philosophischen Jahrbuch erschienenen kritischen Diskussionsbeiträge von Claus Beisbart, Marcela García, Volker Gerhardt, Johannes Hübner, Anton Friedrich Koch, Sebastian Rödl, Tobias Rosefeldt zusammen mit Catharine Diehl und Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer – sowie ausführliche Entgegnungen von Markus Gabriel.

Full textAbstract:
The essays collected in this book are the results of an international and interdisciplinary conference which addressed the topic of shared perspectives in common values and which focused on an obviously very difficult question: Bearing different mechanisms, such as financial transfers and the logic of institutions, in mind, what is the basic cultural link in the values of European integration? The tremors and disintegrative effects the EU has been experiencing for quite some time are not least the result of a shift in its perspective that the idea of the common values of a European society being able to act as a civilising force is either a) non-existent or b) underdeveloped in many of its Member States, or c) has even been strongly rejected by some of them.

Challenges to biblical linguistics made it increasingly difficult to map human diversity. Consequently, early eighteenth-century language philosophers turned to the specificity of place to integrate language and national genealogy. Edward Lhwyd designed a comprehensive study of British languages. I contrast Lhwyd and his philosophical coterie with Joseph-Francois Lafitau’s and Cotton Mather’s attempts to explain to a European audience how the peopling and languages of North America accord with Genesis. Unmoored from the need to fit indigenous words back into a Christian cosmology and somewhat detached from the broader Atlantic network of knowledge exchange, missionary and indigenous philosophers arrived at new insights into North American linguistics. Among the Wampanoag in Plymouth and Martha’s Vineyard, the Abenaki in Maine, and the Miami-Illinois, Experience Mayhew, Josiah Cotton, Sebastian Rale, Jacques Gravier, and Antoine-Robert Le Boullenger compiled massive dictionaries that in some cases remain the most lasting evidence we have of these languages.

2018 witnessed several key developments which have shaped the digital single market. Whereas some issues are now in the final stages of the legislative process, other key topics are in their infancy and therefore require in-depth discussion as to how EU law should react to the challenges and needs of the digital economy. This volume focuses on an issue central to the digital single market: the ‘Liability for Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things’. European legislators face the challenge of deciding between adapting existing product liability rules or the creation of a new concept of objective liability for autonomous systems. The 2018 Münster colloquium provided a forum for intense discussion of these questions between renowned experts on digital law and representatives from EU institutions and industry.

Full textAbstract:
If Johann Sebastian Bach has loomed extra-large in the imagination of scholars, performers, and audiences since the late nineteenth century, this volume sets out to provocatively reshape that imagination from a multitude of present-day perspectives, both from within and outside of traditional Bach studies. The essays gathered here reconsider Bach’s musical practices from the vantage points of material culture, voice, embodiment, affect theory, and systematic theology; they challenge fundamental assumptions about the nineteenth-century Bach revival, about the rise of the modern work concept, about Bach’s music as a code, and about editions of his music as monuments; and they reimagine Bach as humorist, as post/colonial export, as pedagogue, as anti-modernist, and as uneasy postmodern icon. Collectively, these contributions thus take apart, scrutinize, dust off, and reassemble some of our most cherished narratives and deeply held beliefs about Bach and his music. In doing so, they open up multiple pathways toward exciting future modes of engagement with the composer and his legacy.

The 10th Assistant Conference in Labour Law on the general topic "Peculiarities of labour law?" took place in Cologne from 29 September to 1 October 2021. The conference proceedings document the opening by the organisers and the keynote speech. At the heart of the book is the documentation of the ten papers presented and discussed at the conference. These do, inter alia, explore whether a closer link between labour law and general civil law is desirable or whether distinctive approaches in labour law should be cultivated and developed. Furthermore, they shed light on intersections with neighbouring areas of law, such as social insurance law and insolvency law. With contributions by Laura Adjan, LL.M.

Is it possible to know whether a historic structure was built to be let or for use by the owners? Which sources offer information about the residents of a house? Was there such a thing as tenancy law in the past? When did the idea of a rented flat as we know it today come about? Living in rented housing is a highly relevant social and political issue. This volume contains a series of lectures on this topic. Nine authors tackle questions on the construction of rental housing and the conditions in which tenants lived - both in general terms and in regional examples. With a topographical focus on Franconia, this work covers the period from the middle ages to the post-war period.

Full textAbstract:
Some aspects of smart products have been regulated by the Digital Contracts Directives adopted in 2019. However, smart products not only are an important subject for contract law but also for product liability law. For contract law the main questions to be addressed are how smart products fit into existing concepts of contract law and, moreover, how they can be used in legal and commercial practice; for product liability law is analysed how the Product Liability Directive can meet the challenges posed by smart products. The 6th Münster Colloquium provided a forum for in-depth discussion of these and related questions between renowned experts on digital law as well as representatives from politics as well as industry and consumer stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
Every performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’'s Mass in B Minor makes choices. The work’s compositional history and the nature of the sources that transmit it require performers to make decisions about its musical text and about the performing forces used in its realization. The Mass’s editorial history reflects deeply ideological views about Bach’s composition and how it should sound, not just objective reporting on the piece, with consequences for performances that follow specific editions. Things left unspecified by the composer need to be filled in, and every decision—including the choice to add nothing to Bach’s text—represents an interpretation. And the long performance history of the Mass offers a range of possibilities, reflecting a tension between the performance of a work like the Mass in Bach’s time and the tradition inherited from the nineteenth century. Every performance thus represents a point of view about the piece; —there are no neutral performances.

Full textAbstract:
This book examines church music and public concert music in Leipzig, Germany, a city in Saxony, in the period between 1750 (the year Thomaskantor Johann Sebastian Bach died) and 1847 (the year that Gewandhaus orchestra conductor Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy died). The century in between these events was critically important for sacred music and public concert music. During this period, Leipzig’s church music enterprise, a bulwark of orthodox Lutheranism, was convulsed by repeated external threats—a growing middle class that viewed music as an object of public consumption, religious and political tumult, and the chaos of the Seven Years' War and the invasion of Napoleon. How church and concert life in Leipzig changed because of these forces is the focus of this book. Whereas most European cities saw their public concerts grow out of secular institutions such as a royal court or an opera theater, neither of these existed when Leipzig’s first subscription concert series, the Grosse Concert, was started in 1743. Instead, the city had a thriving church music enterprise that had been brought to its zenith by Bach. Paid subscription concerts therefore found their roots in Leipzig’s church music tradition, with important and unique results.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter revisits Johann Sebastian Bach’s 1717 report on Johann Scheibe’s organ for St. Paul’s Church at the University of Leipzig. On December 16, 1717, Bach examined the organ “partly newly built and partly renovated” by Scheibe for St. Paul’s Church. Bach’s report, written the following day, is deemed successful by contemporary sources. Scheibe himself said the organ was “found [to be] free of even the smallest major defect,” to which the University agreed. However, Gottfried Silbermann’s early twentieth-century biographer Ernst Flade claimed that Scheibe’s organ was a mediocre instrument and suggested that Silbermann would have built a “masterpiece.” Subsequent writers emphasized what Flade labeled “Bach’s serious concerns” about Scheibe’s organ. Drawing on documents from the Leipzig University Archives, many of them written by Scheibe, this chapter shows that Bach enumerated in his report the organ’s problems that can be immediately fixed, problems about which nothing could be done, and problems likely to be encountered in the future; Bach also offered a vigorous defense of Scheibe.

Full textAbstract:
The term ‘education’ refers to the examination of subjects that are relevant to education by an individual and their environment, to the establishment of relationships and limits that occurs during that examination process and, in this respect in particular, to the question of ‘educational fluid’ on the one hand and fluidity as a characteristic of educational processes and fields on the other. If education is thought to be ‘fluid’, it cannot be used as solid ‘capital’ in a steady process of (power accumulation and) growth, as anything fluid can neither be cumulated nor added up. Does this fluidity thesis for education possibly offer us the chance of a departure from the logic of capitalisation, utilisation and growth of and through education? How can a knowledge-based society which views itself as ‘fluid’ be conceived?

Full textAbstract:
Vehicles, their infrastructures, and the environments they traverse are fundamental to the movement of migrants and states' attempts to govern them. This volume's contributors use the concept of viapolitics to name and foreground this contested entanglement and examine the politics of migration and bordering across a range of sites. They show how these elements constitute a key site of knowledge and struggle in migratory processes and offer a privileged vantage point from which to interrogate practices of mobility and systems of control in their deeper histories and wider geographic connections. This transdisciplinary group of scholars explores a set of empirically rich and diverse cases: from the Spanish and European authorities' attempts to control migrants' entire trajectories to infrastructures of escort of Indonesian labor migrants; from deportation train cars in the 1920s United States to contemporary stowaways at sea; from illegalized migrants walking across treacherous Alpine mountain passes to aerial geographies of deportation. Throughout, Viapolitics interrogates anew the phenomenon called “migration,” questioning how different forms of contentious mobility are experienced, policed, and contested. Contributors.

Vivanco, Sebastián de. Liber magnificarum (1607). Edited by Michael Noone and Graeme Skinner. A-R Editions, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.31022/r173.
Full textAbstract:
The Spanish composer Sebastián de Vivanco (ca. 1551–1622) was born, like his revered contemporary Tomás Luis de Victoria, in Avila. Having secured prestigious cathedral and university posts at Salamanca, Vivanco saw through the press, between 1607 and 1614, three luxury choirbooks containing 18 Magnificats, 10 masses, and 72 motets, spread over a total of more than 900 printed pages. The first of these choirbooks, all of which were printed by the Fleming ArtusTaberniel and his wife Susana Muñoz, is a cycle of Magnificats providing polyphony for the odd- and even-numbered verses in all eight tones, plus one extra Magnificat in each of the much-used first and eighth tones. If Vivanco has been eclipsed for too long by his great contemporary and compatriot, it is in the complexity and ingenuity of the many canons to be found in these Magnificats that Vivanco outshines even Victoria.

Full textAbstract:
Refusing to Kiss the Slipper re-examines the Reformation in francophone Europe, presenting for the first time the perspective of John Calvin’s evangelical enemies. This book brings together a cast of Calvin’s opponents from various French-speaking territories to show that opposition to Calvinism was stronger and better organized than has ever before been recognized. It examines individual opponents, such as Pierre Caroli, Jerome Bolsec, Sebastian Castellio, Charles Du Moulin, and Jean Morély, but more importantly, it explores the anti-Calvinist networks that developed around such individuals. Each group had its own origins and agenda, but all agreed that Calvin’s claim to absolute religious authority too closely echoed the religious sovereignty of the pope. These oft-neglected opponents refused to offer such obeisance—to kiss the papal slipper—arguing instead for open discussion of controversial doctrines. This book also shows that the challenge posed by these groups shaped the way the Calvinists themselves developed their reform strategies. The book demonstrates that the breadth and strength of the anti-Calvinist networks requires us to abandon the traditional assumption that Huguenots and other francophone Protestants were universally Calvinist.
