Full text

Abstract:

The analytical report deals with the development features and shifts in the international trading system that affect the global economic landscape and the participation of countries in the international exchange of goods, services, and intellectual property. There is a need to reassess approaches to the set of trade policy instruments used to support national producers and build economic relations with foreign partners. Possible contours of Russian trade policy are proposed that meet both existing global trends and new challenges and shocks. The analytical report uses the results of the project “New approaches to Russia’s foreign economic strategy”, carried out as part of the research program of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs of the National Research University Higher School of Economics in 2023.

Full text

Abstract:

Illusory contours are one of the most widely studied kinds of visual illusion. Illusory contours are often understood as an adaptive response to filling-in missing information created from conditions of camouflage. This chapter describes a new class of very vivid illusory contours that appear impossible to understand as forms of rational inference. It presents a set of illusory contours that emerge in conditions for which there is no missing information or need for their synthesis. It argues that such contours provide a valuable testing ground for both specific theories of illusory contour formation, and general theories of perceptual organization. Videos made specifically for this chapter help illustrate the concepts discussed.

Abstract:

This chapter sketches the contours of projecting as a discourse and the concrete activities during the period covered by the book. Combining data drawn from patents for inventions and the English Short Title Catalogue, it identifies two peaks of projecting, first in the 1630s and 1640s, and then from the end of the seventeenth century. The first is related to monopolies and fiscal exactions authorized by prerogative during the Personal Rule of Charles I, the second to joint-stock companies and patented inventions in the age of the financial revolution. Existing accounts have tended to treat them separately. Projects across these evolving circumstances, however, display certain commonalities if we set them against medieval antecedents. This chapter thereby establishes projecting in early modern England as a tangible subject for historical inquiry. It concludes by juxtaposing English and European trajectories.

Full text

Abstract:

Quando eu ainda estava escrevendo Contos do Além – Volume II, já sonhava com a capa do Volume IV, ele deveria ser uma homenagem a icônica capa do álbum do Black Sabbath Volume IV, o Snowblind de 1972. A extraordinária e pioneira banda de heavy metal de Birmingham sempre me impressionou, ela incorporava o sobrenatural em suas músicas, as letras obscuras e as performances ritualísticas eram despejadas sem qualquer moderação em meio a uma atmosfera sombria provocada pelo som ultra pesado, denso e distorcido ao limite. A capa do Volume IV do Back Sabbath é uma fotografia monocromática de Ozzy Osbourne com as mãos levantadas e os dedos em V, o tradicional símbolo da paz adotado pelos movimentos de contracultura e popularizado pelo movimento pacifista norte-americano na década de 60. A versão original da imagem foi captada pela câmara do fotógrafo Keith MacMillan. A talentosa designer gráfica Tatiane Araújo, tendo como base a capa deste Álbum, reproduziu esta pequena obra-prima com apoio do não menos talentoso arquiteto Cesar Araújo, responsável pela fotografia. A minha ideia é que esta fosse a capa do livro, mas o ano de 2020 é do Novo Coronavírus, nada e ninguém irá usurpar o seu maldito posto e coube a genial Paula Zettel, também designer gráfica, produzir uma capa tão expressiva que não me deixou dúvidas de selecioná-la.

Full text

Abstract:

O livro é composto por textos que buscam relacionar espaços geográficos e afetos que foram se achegando em textos, desenhos, pinturas, poemas e contos, alguns e algumas de gentes distantes, mas outras e outros também de sensibilidades junto, dentro de casa, deste lugar que habitamos e que nos habita ainda com mais intensidade em um espaço-tempo pandêmico. Tratam-se de dezenas de textos em linguagens múltiplas, que podem ser lidos e sentidos um a um, em página aberta a esmo, sem querer, e assim seguir, voltar, pular, brincar de vai-e-vem, e dançar de novo, outra vez, talvez em uma repetição tal que outras diferenças emerjam, em um devir para sempre novo, e outro. A disposição dos textos segue um plano de exposição, digamos, aleatório; sim, um ponto pode ligar a outro, sequencialmente, mas o plano de intenção é que o trajeto seja livre para a produção de afetos.

Abstract:

Leocádia questionava há muito os seus sentimentos, ela apenas tolerava o Anastácio, no passado até nutriu certa simpatia por ele, mas nunca o amara verdadeiramente. Com a monotonia crescente, perdida em suas ilusões, a frustração com o casamento foi se alastrando e Leocádia tomou uma decisão para preencher o vazio da sua vida, ela resolveu voltar a estudar. A novidade lhe trouxe alento, deixava as crianças na creche e ia feliz para a escola. Jovem e bonita rapidamente foi integrada na turma, despertando o interesse de vários rapazes, todos da sua idade, intrépidos e viris. Para eles, ter uma mulher casada no grupo acendia a veia da curiosidade e do desafio. E foi assim que apareceu o Rodolfo, ele um jovem bonito e atlético, sedutor, meio poeta e exímio no violão. Rodolfo deixava as meninas ouriçadas (O legado de Leocádia). Por causa do suposto negócio de prostituição, Luciano foi espancado por meia dúzia de homens, que ele nunca se prontificou a identificar, cumprindo com o código de honra dos Bastards de jamais cooperar com as autoridades policiais ou judiciárias. Mas a surra não sairia de graça, ele tinha uma imagem a zelar. Todos sabiam e tinham que continuar sabendo que ele era feroz e letal, dias depois os seis homens foram encontrados boiando no Rio Colorado, todos degolados (A hora de Luck Luciano).

Abstract:

If we are unsatisfied with cognitive accounts of faith worth having, as argued in the last chapter, we will want to see what the options are for a non‐cognitive account of the matter. To that end, we can begin with an account of the contours of the logical space of non‐cognitivism that are relevant here. Specific non‐cognitive accounts are differentiated froma more generic, functional and non‐cognitive account, arguing for the superiority of the latter.

Beaulieu, Marie-Claire, ed. A Cultural History of the Sea in Antiquity. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781474207201.

Full text

Abstract:

The sea is omnipresent in the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean basin. It is an inexhaustible source of food, but also a well-traveled roadway and a means to communicate, trade with, or wage war against one’s neighbors. Perhaps because these practical meanings of the sea were so deeply embedded in daily life, the sea also had a profound religious and symbolic significance for ancient people, from the worship of sea-deities by anxious mariners to the creation of intricate literary devices based on ‘the wine-dark sea’ and concepts such as insularity. People even imagined that, at the edge of the world, where the ocean meets the sky, was the entrance to the Underworld as well as to Olympus, the realm of the gods. In between these distant mythical shores and the well-known contours of the Mediterranean was a space where all utopias and dystopias could be projected—a space to discover and rediscover endlessly. This volume addresses the constant interplay between the real and the imaginary significance of the sea in ancient thought, from philosophy and science to shipbuilding, trade routes, military technology, poetry, mythmaking, and iconography. The volume spans a period of almost two millennia and an area that covers Spain to India and China, and West Africa to the British Isles, demonstrating the global interconnection of cultures and trade, conceived in its broadest possible sense, in the ancient world.

Abstract:

This chapter describes how pragmatism may be used as method of ethical inquiry to help clarify and resolve issues in psychiatric practice. We set out the basic contours of both classical and contemporary pragmatism and then illustrate the pragmatic method using three examples drawn from clinical experience. We propose that given the diversity of issues in psychiatry—from questions about the ontological status of mental disorders to the particularly fraught role of therapists as humanist-scientists—pragmatism provides a kind of conceptual space for consensus building, compromise, and measurable progress.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter situates the controversies about sex and gender in the Roman Catholic Church within the context of ongoing debates about the nature of the Church, the dynamism of the tradition, and the authority of the magisterium. It argues that underlying many of the most contentious of these disagreements, including those about reproductive rights, same-sex relationships, and gender-based violence, one can discern fundamentally different theological understandings about the nature of the human body, the relationships between the sexes, and the malleability of sexuality. Having examined these underlying theological controversies, this chapter considers the contours of the contemporary debates about reproductive rights and same-sex relationships. It notes moreover that these controversies are not abating. Rather, the positions are becoming more polarized and the divisions more intractable.

This chapter discusses the semantics and pragmatics of contrastive topics vis-à-vis focus. A semi-formal characterization of its main properties is given, using the techniques of alternative semantics and questions under discussion. This treatment is compared to various analyses proposed in the literature for contrastive topics and arguably related constructions, such as the English rise–fall–rise contour. Finally a brief discussion of non-contrastive topics is provided.

Full text

Abstract:

Chapter 9 concludes the volume by offering the contours of a design approach in political science. The ambition is to use insights from the volume to set out design implications from an organizational approach to public governance. The chapter thus draws a middle ground in an old turf war in organization studies and public administration between science and craft. Insights into how organizational factors affect public governance is a necessary precondition for using organization theory to meta-govern. This concluding chapter advocates that organization theory as craft requires organization theory as science. Understanding and design are thus complementary and not opposed, as is too often assumed.

Full text

Abstract:

Visual encounters set in motion a series of cognitive activities. Orienting responds to a visual stimulus, which gives rise to a primary visual acknowledgement. Orienting precedes all cognitive uptake; it is the ‘instruction’ sent to the visual apparatus to ‘open the door’. One cognitive module then receives the primary visual acknowledgement, a second works to investigate what has been received, and a third further to determine the output of the investigating module. Investigation locates the contours, shape, and boundaries of the object seen (‘It is round and flat’), while determination categorically identifies it (‘It is a coin’). Perceiving does not always give rise to conscious awareness.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on a federal corporate governance measure that was adopted by the SEC over 75 years ago (in 1942)—The SEC Shareholder Proposal Rule (Rule 14a-8). Because of the historical importance and meaningful impact of Rule 14a-8 with respect to the federalization of corporate governance, this subject is the focus of a separate chapter. From a historical and contemporary perspective, the chapter provides a general framework of Rule 14a-8 and addresses specific issues where the Rule has been utilized, including with respect to social issues, board declassification matters, and executive compensation. The chapter also examines proxy access developments as well as the SEC’s adoption of Rule 14a-11, which subsequently was invalidated by the U.S. Court of Appeals. The chapter concludes by recommending that the SEC should clarify the contours of Rule 14a-8 in a manner that is consistent with promoting shareholder participation in a cost-effective and law-compliant manner.

Abstract:

The islands of Ireland are shaped by their relationships with land and sea. This book is a study of the various and changing ways in which literature has drawn the coast in lines that shape the contours of cultural experience. The literary and historical study of the sea has swelled in the last decade, as has an interest in the littoral and the archipelagic. Beginning with the early works of William Butler Yeats, this book travels through the diverse hydroscapes of Irish literature from the late nineteenth century to the present, framing writers and artists from James Joyce to Anne Enright in liquid, and maritime contexts. In doing so it suggests new planetary frames through which to read literature’s relationships with the sea and its margins. With readings of contemporary writers, including Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Kevin Barry, Seamus Heaney, Sinead Morrissey, and John Banville, and literary magazines, including The Bell, Atlantis, and Archipelago, this book is the first sustained study of Irish coastal literature.

Abstract:

Some time ago, Bryant (1997) remarked, ‘Piaget and Vygotsky set the scene for much of the work that has been done over the last twenty years or so on children’s mathematical understanding.’ (p. 142.) Today, Piaget and Vygotsky’s conceptual and empirical frameworks still define principal contours of contemporary work on cognitive development. In introducing this section on culture, language, and number with chapters by Okamoto, Towse, Nunez and Marghetis, and Sturman, I situate the authors’ contributions in relation to Vygotsky’s and Piaget’s seminal writings and some contemporary strands of empirical and conceptual inquiry. I am particularly attentive to the way the authors extend ideas that were core to Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s writings.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter quickly summarizes the contours of an abductive moral argument for God’s existence. The specific moral phenomenon in question here is moral duty or obligation, Plantinga’s preferred variant for this sort of argument, considering it to be the moral fact most resistant to naturalistic analysis. Noting the distinctive features of moral obligations without domesticating or watering them down enables one to see that the best explanation needs to be more robust than what naturalistic sources alone are likely to generate. The chapter gives two versions of the argument, the deductive version and the abductive version, an inference to the best explanation. It will be asserted that the second formulation, in particular, constitutes a formidable challenge for the skeptic about God’s existence.

Abstract:

The writing of this book was triggered by a twofold desire: to bridge the unacceptable gap between the positive rules of the international law governing armed hostilities and actual state practice, and to reduce the humanitarian suffering caused by this reality. The current law does not seem to be optimal in balancing the different interests of states’ militaries and the humanitarian agenda. As summarized in this concluding chapter, in response to this challenge, this book offers a new paradigm based on reality that may elevate the humanitarian threshold by replacing the currently problematic imperatives imposed upon militaries with professionally-based, therefore attainable, requirements. The suggested paradigm may have some side benefits, as well. It will clarify the contours of the law and offer criteria for judging the belligerents’ conduct.
