Full textAbstract:
Giorgio Agamben’s earliest encounter with Gershom Scholem concerns an essay from 1972 entitled ‘Walter Benjamin and his Angel’,1 Scholem’s first attempt to provide a definitive account of Benjamin’s legacy. At its centre was a short text entitled ‘Agesilaus Santander’, which Benjamin composed on 12 and 13 August 1933 as a gift for the Dutch painter Anna Maria Blaupot ten Cate. In the text, the narrator is first given a ‘secret’ Jewish name, which is then revealed to contain an image of the ‘New Angel’ as well as a ‘female’ and ‘male’ form. Before naming himself as such, the ‘new angel’ presents himself as one of a host of angels that God creates at every given moment, whose only task, according to the Kabbalah, is to sing God’s praises at His throne before returning to the void. By sending his ‘feminine aspect’ to the masculine one, however, the angel has only strengthened the narrator’s ‘ability to wait’; even when face to face with the woman he awaits he does not fall upon her because ‘he wants happiness: […] the conflict in which the rapture of that which happens just once [des Einmaligen], the new, the as-yet-unlived is combined with the bliss of experiencing something once more [des Nocheinmal], of possessing once again, of having lived’. Thus, the narrator continues, ‘he has nothing new to hope for on any road other than the road home’ to the future whence he came, where the as-yet-unlived will have been lived.

Ristuccia, Nathan J. The Fall of Rome and the Ascent of Rogationtide. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198810209.003.0002.
Full textAbstract:
Bishop Mamertus of Vienne supposedly instituted the first Rogation Days around the year 470. But all scholarly attempts to reconstruct the events in Vienne inevitably fail. From the moment Rogationtide appears in sources, it was already in flux. The earliest authors to discuss the holiday—notably Sidonius Apollinaris and Avitus of Vienne—wrote not as impartial observers but as advocates promulgating different versions of Rogationtide against competitors. Early sources supply little reliable evidence about Mamertus, but a great deal about how later bishops and townsmen struggled to preserve Gallo-Roman cities in the aftermath of Roman collapse. The Rogation Days arose as a performance binding local Roman citizens to God and each other through communal penance. But within a generation, Rome was gone, the cities conquered, and the procession instead embodied the unity of the church. Christianization, rather than Romanization, became the focus.

Full textAbstract:
The Battle of Carrhae gives Plutarch his real opportunity to rival Thucydides on Sicily: a striking example of the second Life outdoing the first. The Life of Crassus is marked by dense passages which are particularly prolonged and amassed. They involve a moment of greatness for Crassus which outdoes a similar moment for Nicias (see ch. 13); it presents direct speech, after the death of Crassus’ son. These especially heightened passages in the Life form an arc, from initial terror at the Parthians, to noble death and acceptance of death; but the detail complicates this structure. The comparison of father and son is also important to the design; so too ethnography and Plutarch’s treatment of the Parthians. Cassius Dio’s later non-rhythmic account provides a foil.

Bou Ali, Nadia. Psychoanalysis and the Love of Arabic. Edinburgh University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474409841.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Why did modern Arabic grammarians fall in love with language again? Rather than raise the philological question of origins, the love of language poses a philosophical question: why is there language rather than nothing? Language does not provide a resolute sense of home; rather it is a love-object that allows the rejection of tradition. This love arises at the moment when the Arab world is integrated into the capitalist world market and traditional symbolic functions collapse, calling into question the relation between words and things. The problems of language speak for a subject of the unconscious, divided by language, desire, and enjoyment.

Shapiro, Lisa. Malebranche on Pleasure and Awareness in Sensory Perception. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190225100.003.0007.
Full textAbstract:
Malebranche, in his telling of the Fall of Man, provides the core of his account of our distinctively human perception. At the moment of the Fall, Adam comes to see the apple not simply as something serving his self-preservation, but as an object with particular properties. The key to that shift is the pleasure Adam takes in the apple. This puzzling account sheds light on both Malebranche’s account of the ‘interior sentiment’ that constitutes our phenomenal consciousness of objects and his account of sensation as natural judgments. Malebranche positions pleasure as centrally involved in sensory perception in helping structure our representations. For him, it is neither representational in itself nor epiphenomenal.

Quint, David. Leaving Eden. Princeton University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.23943/princeton/9780691161914.003.0009.
Full textAbstract:
This concluding chapter examines the structure of the composite books 11 and 12, in which the prophesied destruction of Eden corresponds, antithetically, to the building of Pandaemonium at the beginning of Paradise Lost in book 1. After the Fall, Eden might become a temple, oracle site, a grove of pagan rites, goal of pilgrimage—it has already, at the moment that Satan invades it in book 4, been compared to the sheepfold of the Church, prey to thieves, a Church too rich to escape corruption. In books that predict the rise of empires, God dissociates his cult from power and wealth, closing down and eventually washing away Eden, lest it become another Pandaemonium—a haunt of foul spirits.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 10 relates the fall and rise and fall of international capital mobility, a centerpiece of neoliberal policy. Immediately after World War II, the Bretton Woods System established fixed exchange rates and regulated the international movement of capital to facilitate trade and preserve domestic policy capacity. Owners of capital mobilized institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in a decades-long struggle for international capital mobility. Their moment came with a crisis in the Bretton Woods System in the early 1970s, and the era of floating exchange rates and international capital mobility was born. Since its ascension, international capital mobility has been a flashpoint for crisis. Facing criticism for the frequency of financial crises, especially after the deep European crisis beginning in 2010, some parts of the IMF have broken with institutional orthodoxy. The rupture suggests potential for a broader break with the principles of neoliberal governance.

Jacques, du Plessis. Ch.3 Validity, s.2: Grounds for avoidance, Art.3.2.14. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198702627.003.0068.
Full textAbstract:
This commentary focuses on Article 3.2.14 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning the retroactive effect of avoidance of a contract. Under Art 3.2.14, avoidance takes effect retroactively; that is, the contract is regarded as never having existed, and not merely as non-existent from the moment of avoidance. Unfulfilled obligations fall away and performances made in fulfilment of obligations have to be returned, according to Art 3.2.15. However, this is only a general proposition. Where avoidance only relates to certain terms of the contract, the other terms, whether fulfilled or unfulfilled, are left undisturbed, unless it would be unreasonable to do so. This commentary discusses the effect of retroactive avoidance in general, as well as its effect on contractual obligations, including unfulfilled and unaffected obligations and fulfilled obligations.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines Shirley Chisholm's political career as part of this longer history of African American women in New York City politics. The first black woman elected to the U.S. Congress, Chisholm contributed to the breaking down of barriers that kept black women from powerful positions within the federal government. She was a vocal advocate for an activist government to redress economic, social, and political injustices, and she frequently used her national prominence to bring attention to racial, sexual, and class-based inequality. At the same time, she collided into well-established and powerful forces that made it hard to effect change, and she arrived in Congress at the moment when the New Deal coalition began to fall apart. Although her impact as a liberal Democrat would be blunted by the larger political forces surrounding her, Chisholm's influence on the predominantly white women's movement was substantial.

Full textAbstract:
Countries often amend their constitutions or enact new ones following major political events, such as the founding of newly independent states, the fall of an authoritarian regime or the end of violent conflict. Significant constitutional reform at a crucial moment is often a high-stakes process because a constitution regulates access to public power and resources among different groups. While disagreements over divisive topics are likely and even inherent to constitution-making, they may also result in a serious deadlock when stakeholders are unable to reach agreement. A prolonged deadlock can delay or even derail the whole reform process. In this context, it may be advisable to create incentives that can help parties to the negotiations overcome divergence and resolve deadlocks should they occur. This Constitution Brief focuses on strategies and mechanisms for breaking a deadlock in constitutional negotiations conducted in an environment of competitive democratic politics.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the most famous episode of medieval reading—the moment in which Francesca da Rimini and her lover Paolo simultaneously kiss and fall into perdition while reading the story of Lancelot in Inferno 5, which has long been at the centre of my research. Here I investigate further aspects of this rich episode of reading, such as the connection to the visual (for instance, to illuminations of the scene of the kiss in the Lancelot) and the highly nuanced ways in which Dante has Francesca using literary texts in her speech. Next, I explore the ways in which ‘reading together’ has performative effects in medieval courtly literature, and then I contextualize Francesca’s reading within a genealogy of unconventional women readers: Heloise and Alyson of Bath, Mary and Flamenca, bringing to light the force of their heterodox, bodily, and creative ways of reading ‘as a woman’.

Full textAbstract:
Historical interpretation of Hungarian fascism has been shaped by the political divisions that followed its fall in 1945. Almost from the moment of the war's end, Hungary's left-wing political parties used their anti-fascist credentials to legitimize their political project for Hungary's future. From the end of the Second World War, through most of the socialist era, ‘Horthy fascism’ was described as the pursuit of territorial revision, and institutionalized anti-Semitism was held responsible for the tragedies of Hungary's painful entanglement in the Second World War and the murder of the majority of the country's Jewish population. The roots of both Hungarian fascism and the dominant neo-conservative ideology of the inter-war years lay in a polarization of politics that began in the 1890s, when conservative intellectuals responded to the growing mobilization of the left in the country's industrial centres and a greater assertiveness from non-Magyar speakers, who composed half of pre-war Hungary's population.

Mandala, Elias. Food, Time, and History. Edited by Jeffrey M. Pilcher. Oxford University Press, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199729937.013.0020.
Full textAbstract:
In the African countryside, food has a social biography which is both linear and cyclical. According to the golden-age theory, every member of the community deserves access to food, while the alternative perspective argues that not all members enjoy those rights. Both theories fall within what Stephen J. Gould called "time's cycle" or "the intelligibility of timeless order and lawlike structure." As components of time's cycle, the alternative vision and the golden-age theory address the problem of order and represent peasants' collective protest against what Mircea Eliade termed "terror of history," which refers to terrifying events such as famine. The linear nature of the social biography of food is part of Gould's "time's arrow." The old Mang'anja of Malawi referred to famine, a one-time event, as chaola, or moment of rottenness, which is different from recurrent hunger or njala. The history of Malawi's food system represents a story about irreversible change and about days and seasons.

Obrecht, Jas. Stone Free. University of North Carolina Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.5149/northcarolina/9781469647067.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
A compelling portrait of rock's greatest guitarist at the moment of his ascendance, Stone Free is the first book to focus exclusively on the happiest and most productive period of Jimi Hendrix's life. As it begins in the fall of 1966, he's an under-sung, under-accomplished sideman struggling to survive in New York City. Nine months later, he's the toast of Swinging London, a fashion icon, and the brightest star to step off the stage at the Monterey International Pop Festival. This momentum-building, day-by-day account of this extraordinary transformation offers new details into Jimi's personality, relationships, songwriting, guitar innovations, studio sessions, and record releases. It explores the social changes sweeping the U.K., Hendrix's role in the dawning of "flower power," and the prejudice he faced while fronting the Jimi Hendrix Experience. In addition to featuring the voices of Jimi, his bandmates, and other eyewitnesses, Stone Free draws extensively from contemporary accounts published in English- and foreign-language newspapers and music magazines. This celebratory account is a must-read for Hendrix fans.

Nisse, Ruth. Jacob's Shipwreck. Cornell University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.7591/cornell/9781501703072.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Jewish and Christian authors of the High Middle Ages not infrequently came into dialogue or conflict with each other over traditions drawn from ancient writings outside of the bible. Circulating in Hebrew and Latin translations, these included the two independent versions of the Testament of Naphtali in which the patriarch has a vision of the Diaspora, a shipwreck that scatters the twelve tribes. The Christian narrative is linear and ends in salvation; the Jewish narrative is circular and pessimistic. This book regards this as an emblematic text that illuminates relationships between interpretation, translation, and survival. Such noncanonical texts and their afterlives provided Jews and Christians alike with resources of fiction that they used to reconsider boundaries of doctrine and interpretation. Among the works that the book takes as exemplary of this medieval moment are the Book of Yosippon, a tenth-century Hebrew adaptation of Josephus with a wide circulation and influence in the later middle ages, and the second-century romance of Aseneth about the religious conversion of Joseph's Egyptian wife. Yosippon gave Jews a new discourse of martyrdom in its narrative of the fall of Jerusalem, and at the same time it offered access to the classical historical models being used by their Christian contemporaries. Aseneth provided its new audience of medieval monks with a way to reimagine the troubling consequences of unwilling Jewish converts.

Agostini, Domenico, Samuel Thrope, Shaul Shaked, and Guy Stroumsa. The Bundahišn. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190879044.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The Bundahišn, meaning primal or foundational creation, is the central Zoroastrian account of creation, cosmology, and eschatology and one of the most important of the surviving testaments to Zoroastrian literature and pre-Islamic Iranian culture. Touching on geography, cosmogony, anthropology, zoology, astronomy, medicine, legend, and myth, the Bundahišn can be considered a concise compendium of Zoroastrian knowledge. The Bundahišn is well known in the field as an essential primary source for the study of ancient Iranian history, religions, literature, and languages. It is one of the most important texts composed in Zoroastrian Middle Persian, also known as Zoroastrian Book Pahlavi, in the centuries after the fall of the Sasanian Empire to the invading Arab and Islamic forces in the mid seventh century. The Bundahišn provides scholars with a particularly profitable window on Zoroastrianism’s intellectual and religious history at a crucial transitional moment: centuries after the composition of the Avesta, the Zoroastrian sacred scriptures, and before the transformation of Zoroastrianism into a minority religion within Iran and adherents’ dispersion throughout Central and South Asia. However, the Bundahišn is not only a scholarly tract. It is also a great work of literature in its own right and ranks alongside the creation myths of other ancient traditions: Genesis, the Babylonian Emunah Elish, Hesiod’s Theogony, and others. Informed by the latest research in Iranian Studies, this translation aims to bring to the fore the aesthetic quality, literary style, and complexity of this important work.

May, Adrian. From Bataille to Badiou. Liverpool University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781786940438.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book provides an exhaustive reading of the significant yet understudied intellectual review Lignes, from 1987 to 2017, to demonstrate how it has managed to preserve and develop the legacy of French radical thought often referred to as ‘French Theory’ or ‘la pensée 68’. Whilst many studies on intellectual reviews from the 1930s to the 1980s exist, this book crucially illuminates the shifting intellectual and political culture of France since the 1980s, filling a major gap in contemporary debates on the continued relevance of French intellectuals. This book provides a strong counter-narrative to the received account that, after the anti-totalitarian ‘liberal moment’ of the late 1970s, Marxism and structuralism were completely banished from the French intellectual sphere. It provides the historical context behind the rise of such internationally renowned thinkers such as Alain Badiou, Jacques Rancière Jean-Luc Nancy, whilst placing them within an intellectual genealogy stretching back to Georges Bataille and Maurice Blanchot in the 1930s. The book also introduces the reader to lesser known but nonetheless significant thinkers, including Lignes editor Michel Surya, Dionys Mascolo, Daniel Bensaïd, Fethi Benslama, Anselm Jappe and Robert Kurz. Through the review’s pages, a novel cultural history of France emerges as intellectuals respond to pressing contemporary issues, such as the fall of Communism, the European migrant crisis and rising nationalist tensions, the globalisation of financial capitalism and the 2008 economic crisis, scandals surrounding paedophilia and the return of religious thought to France, as well as debates on literature and the political value of art.

Williams, Charles, and Mark Pendras, eds. Secondary Cities. Policy Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1332/policypress/9781529212075.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book introduces and explores the concept of ‘secondary cities’—cities that fuel, compete with, and are otherwise relationally connected to larger and dynamic neighbouring cities. Emphasizing the significance of intra-regional relationality to contemporary urban conditions and challenging common representations of urban development ‘success’ and ‘failure’, this book advances a research agenda that centres uneven urban development concerns and opens space for reimaging urban and regional development. While most scholarly engagements with ‘regions’ and ‘city-regions’ and processes of ‘metropolisation’ proceed from the perspective of the regional core-city, this book takes as the starting point the secondary city perspective. Doing so emphasizes the subordinate status of secondary cities relative to their dominant neighbours and considers how the regional distribution of power and resources shape urban conditions. Gathering leading international scholars, and drawing from case studies in Europe, Australia, and North America, the book illustrates the secondary city experience and situates it within urban development theory and practice. In a moment when welcome attention is being brought to ‘ordinary’ cities, small cities, shrinking cities, legacy cities, and cities otherwise understood to fall outside the usual emphasis on global winners, the secondary city concept highlights the importance of scale and relationality to understanding contemporary urban conditions. The book seeks to understand the complex political and economic dynamics that characterize the relationships between secondary cities and regional core-cities, raising new questions about urban and regional development in the Global North and reimagining the subordinate status of secondary cities to showcase their full potential.
