Corò, Paola. Seleucid Tablets from Uruk in the British Museum. Venice: Edizioni Ca' Foscari, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.30687/978-88-6969-246-8.

Full text

Abstract:

Between the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century the British Museum acquired as part of its cuneiform collections 120 economic tablets from Uruk dating to the Seleucid period; they belong to what has been described as “the most spectacular Hellenistic archives available today”. This book offers an analysis of the collection, accompanied by text editions. The approach adopted is to explore the documents in three main thematic sections: arable land, urban properties, and temple prebends. The administrative texts have been treated as a group. Particular attention is paid to the role played by specific families, individuals or groups in each area of interest, as well as to shedding new light on the ownership patterns and business strategies that characterised the activities of the parties to the documents.

Peacock, Thomas Love. Headlong Hall. Edited by Nicholas Joukovsky. Cambridge University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/9781139344241.

Full text

Abstract:

Thomas Love Peacock (1785‒1866) is one of the most distinctive prose satirists of the Romantic period. The Cambridge Edition of the Novels of Thomas Love Peacock offers the first complete text of these works to appear for more than half a century. Headlong Hall (1816), Peacock's earliest work of dialogic and satirical fiction, was the most popular of his tales during his lifetime and considered his signature novel. An episodic plot and a country house setting provide the framework for a sparkling intellectual comedy that embraces music, gastronomy, philosophy, politics, craniology, painting, and landscape gardening. This edition supplies an authoritative text and a comprehensive introduction tracing the genesis, composition, publication, reception, and revision of the novel. Extensive explanatory notes throw light on the Welsh backdrop to the fiction as well as on the literary, political, social, and intellectual contexts of Peacock's innovative topical satire.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter begins with a description of quantum spin Hall systems, or topological insulators, which embody a new quantum state of matter theoretically proposed in 2005 and experimentally observed later on using various methods. Topological insulators can be realized in both two dimensions (2D) and in three dimensions (3D), and are nonmagnetic insulators in the bulk that possess gapless edge states (2D) or surface states (3D). These edge/surface states carry pure spin current and are sometimes called helical. The novel property for these edge/surface states is that they originate from bulk topological order, and are robust against nonmagnetic disorder. The following sections then explain how topological insulators are related to other spin-transport phenomena.

Full text

Abstract:

This is a book about ‘intimations’: social interactions that approach outright communication but do not quite reach it. The controlling metaphor is that of a communicative scale or switch, which goes from ‘off’ (no communication intended) to fully ‘on’ (outright communication). Intimations lie in between. Three intermediate positions are identified: quarter-on, half-on, and three-quarters-on. The metaphor is cashed by appeal to a Gricean model of communication: progression along the communicative scale is determined by the extent to which what comes across in the transmission is required to come across by recognition of the intention of the transmitting party. At a quarter-on, it is required not to; at half-on, it is neither required to nor required not to; at three-quarters-on, it is required to, but only partially; at full-on, it is required to, and the recognition is complete. The half-on intimation is primarily used for impression-management in social life (Goffman is an important influence here). To illustrate it, the book concentrates on fashion and the ‘messages’ we send with our clothes. With the quarter-on and three-quarters-on intimation, the focus of argument is on the fact that transmissions at the same position of the communicative scale have the same underlying structure, whether they are made in the formal arts or in daily life outside the arts. For the quarter-on intimation, the formal art is lyric poetry; for the three-quarters-on intimation, it is storytelling. Storytelling is discussed at length, and at the end is connected to situational irony.

Full text

Abstract:

This article describes the use of NEGF-based models for elastic dephasing in quantum transport. The non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method provides a rigorous prescription for including any kind of dephasing mechanisms to any order starting from a microscopic Hamiltonian through an appropriate choice of the self-energy function. The article first introduces the general approach to quantum transport that provides a general method for modelling a wide class of nanotransistor and spin devices. It then discusses the effect of different types of dephasing on momentum and spin relaxation before considering three simple phenomenological choices of the self-energy function that allows one to incorporate spin, phase and momentum relaxation independently. It also looks at an example that takes into account these three types of dephasing mechanisms: the ‘spin-Hall’ effect.

Full text

Abstract:

Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Mind is an annual publication of some of the most cutting-edge work in the philosophy of mind. The philosophy of mind has, for at least half a decade, been torn between a traditional, armchair-led approach and a naturalistic, empirically driven approach. The most prestigious general philosophy journals tend to favor the traditional approach, while journals dedicated to the philosophy of mind tend to favor the naturalistic approach. Meanwhile, the history of philosophy of mind gets no play in philosophy-of-mind-dedicated journals, and is of course published mostly in history-of-philosophy journals. Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Mind will publish work from all three sectors: armchair philosophy of mind, empirically driven philosophy of mind, and history of philosophy of mind. As far as invited contributions are concerned, Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Mind will observe a strict gender balance, with exactly half of the invitees being women and half men. It does not control, of course, the ultimate delivery of manuscripts by the invitees, nor the quantity and quality of submissions from each gender. This inaugural volume contains thirteen articles focused on three themes: the value of consciousness, naturalism and physicalism, and the nature of content.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter argues that argument encoding systems that seem to involve three syntactic core cases (nominative/absolutive, ergative, accusative) are actually common ergative or accusative systems syntactically, with overt case markers for each of the two cases that disappear in intransitive contexts. Based on evidence from Kham, Djapu, Nez Perce, Upriver Halkomelem, and Dyirbal, it shows that a purely morphological approach to differential marking in terms of scale-driven optimization via harmonic alignment and local conjunction (based on Aissen (2003)) can derive these systems straightforwardly if a transitivity scale is postulated in addition to the standard definiteness, animacy, and person scales (Hale (1972), Silverstein (1976)). Since apparent three-way systems usually also involve differential marking sensitive to Hale/Silverstein scales, a conservative extension to (in)transitivity suggests itself. The final parts shows that the new morphological approach is either directly supported by, or at least compatible with, the available syntactic evidence.

Abstract:

What is a Shakespearean comedy? Nearly half of Shakespeare’s plays could be described as comedies of some kind, but more restrictive criteria would whittle the number to just half a dozen true, festive Shakespearean comedies. The ‘Introduction’ describes how Shakespeare’s writing would have been influenced by the vibrant culture of commercial public theatre that he encountered in London, which drew on two traditions: the classical tradition of the grammar schools and the less structured jesting and clowning that grew from the morality play. Changes to Shakespeare’s plays after his death in three areas—the depiction of women; the treatment of politics; and the variation of theatrical design—are also considered.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Illinois Negroes who were engaged in business. In 1837, three of the seventy-seven included in Chicago's population of 4,170 were business men. Among them were Lewis Isabel, Abram Hall, John Johnson, Ambrose Jackson, and John Jones. In 1860, there were 1,500 Negroes in the city, and thirty-two of them were involved in business. There were sixteen hairdressers, five barbers, four draymen, three butchers, one hotel keeper, one blacksmith, and one whitewasher. Negro business suffered in the “panic” years of 1867, 1873, and 1876, with many ventures failing. One of the successful Negro businessmen of the following years was Charles H. Smiley, who arrived in 1885, and became one of the city's foremost caterers. Chicago's first Negro millionaire was William Henry Lee, a publisher who owned F. C. Laird. In 1885 there were 110 businesses in Chicago owned and operated by Negroes in twenty-seven fields.

Full text

Abstract:

This book is a collection of essays written by Bob Hale (three co-authored), with a critical introduction from Kit Fine. They comprise Hale’s final years of work, adding to and extending beyond his landmark monograph Necessary Beings: An Essay on Ontology, Modality, and the Relations Between Them (OUP, 2013, 2nd edition 2015). The essays develop and consolidate several key themes in Hale’s work, most notably the notion of definition, especially as it extends beyond definition of a word to definition of a thing more generally, and its relations to essence and existence; how the recently influential notion of truthmaking relates to and illuminates some of these issues; and ontological questions connected with Hale’s metaphysical commitments on the one hand, and his commitments in the foundations of mathematics on the other. Several of the essays engage with and respond to work by Kit Fine, and contributions to Being Necessary: Themes of Ontology and Modality from the Work of Bob Hale (OUP 2018). As such, these essays also demonstrate a rich and fruitful philosophical dialogue between Hale and his critics and friends.

Abstract:

In the early 1890s Emma Calvé’s emergence coincided with the ascent of Spanish dancing stars, Carmencita Dausset and Carolina “la Belle” Otero, on the international music-hall circuit. All three enjoyed careers and celebrity that took them from Paris across the English Channel and the Atlantic. Their influence can be seen in the two major adaptations that form the subject of Chapter 6. Famed in both London and New York, English dramatic actress Olga Nethersole starred in a lurid adaptation of the opera for the legitimate stage in the mid-1890s, while the young Spanish dancer Rosario Guerrero reinterpreted Carmen in mime and dance in a ballet version devised for London’s Alhambra Theatre in 1903, the dramatic intensity of her performance inflected by newly emerging flamenco styles.

Abstract:

This short anthology contains extracts from three Castilian prose texts, one from the second half of the thirteenth century (General estoria IV of Alfonso X the Wise), one from the first half of the fourteenth century (El conde Lucanor of don Juan Manuel), and one from near the mid-point of the fifteenth century (Atalaya de las corónicas of Alfonso Martínez de Toledo, Arcipreste de Talavera). These passages illustrate in context many of the phonological, orthographic, morphological, syntactic, and lexical features of medieval Hispano-Romance described in the body of this book. A linguistic commentary discussing relevant forms and constructions, as well as the meaning of lexical items no longer used or employed with different meanings in modern Spanish, with cross references to the appropriate sections in the five main chapters, accompanies each selection.

Full text

Abstract:

Since the mid-1980s, the Western Left has split on how to evaluate the political and constitutional theory of Carl Schmitt. The analysis traces and historicizes a movement from aversion to appropriation of Schmitt’s writings in contemporary political theory. In the first half of the chapter Habermas is presented as developing his own positions in part through deep engagements with Schmitt’s thought. In the second half of the chapter, three contemporary political philosophers who are grouped under the label “left-Schmittian” are profiled. Contemporary left-Schmittians try to circumvent the Schmitt compromised by the “Third Reich,” but sometimes by diluting him beyond recognition. Close readings of Gopal Balakrishnan, Andreas Kalyvas, and Chantal Mouffe support the argument that contemporary left-Schmittians create a theory of domestic and international politics that are either normatively or institutionally deficient.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter explores the recent debate about the relationship between reasons and rational requirements of coherence—for example, requirements to be consistent in one’s beliefs and intentions. Such requirements seem plausible because they explain what is wrong with incoherence. But it is unclear whether there are always reasons to comply with such requirements. And it is plausible that, if there are not, then there are no such requirements. The first half of this chapter defends these claims. The second half of the chapter discusses an alternative view of what is wrong with incoherence, defended by Kolodny and others. On this view, the problem with incoherence is that it guarantees that you have some attitude that you should not have or that you lack some attitude that you should have. The chapter raises and discusses three problems for this view.

HAND occurs in about half of patients infected with HIV. All forms, including ANI and MND, are associated with unemployment and reduced antiretroviral adherence, which can lead to loss of virologic suppression, further neurocognitive decline, and systemic illness. Fortunately, combined antiretroviral therapy can stabilize and even reverse cognitive impairment.

Abstract:

The purpose of this chapter is to reassess the role of French financial elites, especially bankers, in the second half of the twentieth century. The first part of the chapter examines the commercial banks’ strategies concentrating on the three decades following the Second Word War, characterized by an increased level of state intervention and strict regulation in financial affairs. The second part considers the post-1981 period, marked by a double policy change, when the Socialists came to power before being displaced by the Right in 1986. These upheavals had a direct impact on the financial sector and raise the question of the role of the financial elites: how did they react to the nationalizations and then the liberalization of the financial system? Was their position enhanced or diminished by these transformations?

Full text

Abstract:

While Jesus’ rejection in his hometown is common to all three synoptic accounts, the placement of this episode differs. Mark and Matthew narrate his rejection at the synagogue of Nazareth only after a period of successful ministry elsewhere. Luke collapses the Markan timeline by relocating the scene in the synagogue in Nazareth to the initial preaching tour through Galilee, and he also recounts an unsuccessful attempt to cast Jesus from the cliff outside the town. This trajectory of rewriting can be extended to include the Diatessaron of Tatian, where the first half of the Lukan pericope is left in the preaching tour through Galilee, while the second half is postponed until later in the narrative. In his redaction of prior sources, Tatian’s editorial work is comparable to that of Matthew and Luke. His work was regarded by its primary users as the Gospel, and not just as a ‘gospel harmony’.

Abstract:

The Catholic Church faced a number of issues during the development of modern society from the French Revolution to the beginning of the First World War. After examining the Catholic response to secularization of society, the chapter analyses three currents which played an active role in the first half of the century: supporters of the ancien régime, intransigents, and liberal Catholics. As a consequence of the European revolutions the papacy condemned the modern world and promoted hierocratic medievalism. Pope Leo XIII encouraged a distinction between thesis and hypothesis as entryway to modernity: Catholics could enter the modern world, almost in order to use all it possessed to combat its results. But his successor, Pius X, thought that the modernization of the Church had degenerated into the illegitimate inclusion in it of the pernicious principle of modernity. Modernism became for more than half a century the main enemy of Roman Catholicism.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter is the third of three chapters to look at the relationship between a Thomaskantor, who oversaw the church music, and a Kapellmeister (music director) of the public concerts. Thomaskantor Moritz Hauptmann and Kapellmeister Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy are examined. Mendelssohn was hired in 1835 to move the Gewandhaus orchestra away from light, popular fare and toward artistic, canonical music. When Thomaskantor Christian Theodor Weinlig died in 1842, Mendelssohn arranged for his friend Hauptmann to fill the position. Hauptmann shared Mendelsson’s vision of canonical music, so that church music moved in this stylistic direction. The chapter concludes by noting that the concert format Mendelssohn favored as Gewandhaus director, consisting of lighter fare in the first half (often involving a soloist), an intermission, and a complete symphony or other major work in the second half, provided the model for classical concerts as we experience them today.

BEFORE the introduction of decimal currency into the United Kingdom in 1971, the pound sterling was divided into twenty shillings, with twelve pence (pennies) to the shilling. The lowest value coin was the farthing (a quarter of a penny). The crown was five shillings—hence the popular 2s 6d coin known as the half-crown—while the guinea, much used in commercial transactions, was twenty-one shillings. In the present book we use the conventional abbreviations ‘s’ for shillings and ‘d’ for pence, and prices are given as follows: £13s 6d (one pound three shillings and sixpence, often abbreviated to one pound three and six)....

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the opening salvos in the legal battle between the Federal League and the American and National Leagues that lasted from December 1913 to June 1914. It all began on December 27, 1913, when star shortstop and future Hall of Famer Joe Tinker signed a three-year contract with the Chicago Federals, or “ChiFeds.” Tinker jumped to the Federal League after his contract was sold from the Cincinnati Reds to the Brooklyn Dodgers. His defection forced organized baseball to begin taking the Federal League challenge more seriously. The Federal League was able to secure a total of fifty big league players for the start of the 1914 season, with catcher William Killefer proving to be the most significant legally. This chapter examines the lawsuits in which the Federal League lost, including the ones involving Killefer and Samuel “Howie” Camnitz.

Abstract:

This introductory chapter discusses supplications containing the petitions of university masters for benefices from the pope. The University of Cambridge is important in this discussion, since the archives of the University contain original drafts of three supplication rolls from the late fourteenth century, something that is extremely rare. The chapter then brings together evidence for the results of rotuli of supplication by the University of Cambridge from 1331 to 1371. All the rotuli discussed here show the importance of legal studies at Cambridge, particularly civil law, outweighing all other faculties save arts. That seems to have been in part a result of Edward II's founding of King's Hall, the first royal college at any English university and for a time the largest college at Cambridge, with the goal of preparing young scholars for positions in royal administration.

Holmes Board of Education that “the obligation of every school district is to terminate dual school systems at once and to operate now and hereafter only unitary schools.” Thirty of the thirty-three Mississippi districts named in the case were ordered to open as desegregated schools after Christmas break. With little guidance from state officials and no formal training or experience in effective school desegregation processes, ordinary people were thrown into extraordinary circumstances. However, their stories have been largely ignored in desegregation literature. This book explores the arduous and complex task of implementing school desegregation. How were bus routes determined? Who lost their position as principal? Who was assigned to what classes? Without losing sight of the important macro forces in precipitating social change, the authors shift attention to how the daily work of “just trying to have school” helped shape the contours of school desegregation in communities still living with the decisions made fifty years ago.

Abstract:

The author’s argumentative strategy for the book is introduced, and situated methodologically. An explanation follows that in the first half of this book a theory of fictional content known as ‘extreme intentionalism’ is proffered, with the argument that it should be taken very seriously as an adequate account of fictional truth. Some critics of the theory are canvassed and extreme intentionalism is differentiated from certain other positions with which it might be confused. It is then indicated how, in the second half of the book, it will be shown that extreme intentionalism and the lessons learnt from it can illuminate cognate questions in the philosophy of fiction and imagination. The author’s aim in this book is explained as being to construct three complementary explanatory theories simultaneously, one about fictional truth, one about fictional content, and one about imagination. In each case the methodological approach employed is distinguished from that of straightforward conceptual analysis. Finally, several advantages of the proposed approach are pointed out.

Abstract:

We use long-spanning individual longitudinal data to examine the long-term labour market outcomes of low-tier informal workers. We investigate their characteristics, calculate the extent of switching, and identify the characteristics of those who have switched. Finally, we estimate the earnings premium of switching. We find that individuals are negatively selected into low-tier informal work. Almost half of individuals who started out as a low-tier informal worker remained as low-tier informal workers through the next 8–19 years. The other half switched on average three times. Most switches take place from low-tier informal to low-tier formal sector work. High-tier jobs are relatively closed off to those who started their career as low-tier informal workers. We find that the earnings premium that low-tier informal workers could gain by switching is large and statistically significant. An effective policy, therefore, is to support low-tier informal workers to improve their livelihoods by becoming low-tier formal workers.

Abstract:

Art historian Tobin Siebers has recently argued that modern visual art is centrally concerned with representing and finding new sorts of beauty in the fractured, disfigured, disabled human body. This essay asks whether the modern in music manifests itself as disability. Focusing on the Stravinskian strand of musical modernism and taking the second of his Three Pieces for String Quartet as a case study, this essay notes that the music can be understood as representing disability in its shape and appearance, its movements, and its implicit mental capacity and affect. Stravinsky’s description of this music as his effort to represent musically the appearance and “the jerky, spastic movements” of a famous music hall performer, Little Tich, whose small stature was perceived by contemporary observers as a grotesque deformation, suggests the music may be understood not only to represent disability generically and metaphorically but also to represent a particular disabled body.

Abstract:

This chapter recounts a highly public—and widely publicized—event on June 7, 1983 that catapulted the twenty-three-year-old Kernis into the national spotlight. At 8:00 that evening, in Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, in front of an audience of nearly a thousand, the New York Philharmonic spent an hour reading through and rehearsing Kernis's “dream of the morning sky” (Cycle V), conducted—and critiqued—by music director Zubin Mehta. Nearly every biographical sketch of Kernis cites this event, with varying degrees of accuracy. Major national publications ran stories about it at the time as well. Most critics gave little more than generalized descriptions of Kernis's score. One called it “intoxicatingly beautiful”; a second found its finale “soaring and rhapsodic”; a third called it “rich and imaginative” but “a little spoiled at the last by the rhetorical insistence of the pantheistic text.”

Full text

Abstract:

Aristotle’s conception of body at the heart of this study is the notion of a three‐dimensionally extended and continuous magnitude bounded by surfaces. This notion is distinct from the notion of a physical substance. Substances have bodies: they are extended, their parts are continuous with each other, and they have boundaries which demarcate them from their surroundings. It is argued that body has a pivotal role in Aristotle’s natural philosophy. A theory of bodies can be compared to Aristotle’s account of central concepts for natural science, such as motion, place, and time which are discussed in Physics III‐‐IV. The book argues that when Aristotle discusses the notion of body and related notions, he has primarily physical, as opposed to mathematical, bodies in mind. The physicist studies body insofar as it is the body of a physical substance, whereas the mathematician studies body as if it were separate. Although Aristotle never wrote a continuous treatment on bodies, it is possible to reconstruct a coherent and philosophically appealing theory of bodies. The second half of the book offers a systematic treatment of the concept of three‐dimensional magnitude and related notions such as boundary, extension, contact, and continuity. Both the structural features and the ontological status of body are discussed. In this sense, the second half of the book is a study in ancient mereotopology.

Abstract:

The book examines the cultural patronage of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria (1529–1595), a son of Emperor Ferdinand I. Being the second-born, the Archduke never reached the imperial throne but served as the Governor of Bohemia in Prague and then he reigned in the Tyrol. The volume aims to show how Ferdinand II’s unclear dynastic position was significant in determining his fate, and which strategies he used to represent himself as an important member of the Habsburg dynasty. Twenty-three essays organized in five sections cover his main cultural aims, starting with the structure of his court and its entertainment, architectural projects, visual arts, and the interests of the humanistic circle he gathered around him. The book also presents new information about his famous collection of art and curiosities at Ambras Castle in Innsbruck, which served as a model for Emperor Rudolf II's collecting practice. The interdisciplinary cooperation of scholars from different countries gives readers a unique and comprehensive understanding of the actions of the Archduke in mutual relations. The book portrays the Archduke as a skilled manager, creative inventor and successful networker as the Renaissance movement was developing in Central Europe in the second half of the sixteenth century. Although the Archduke couldn’t fulfil his political ambitions, through his support for collecting, art and science, he contributed significantly to the development of the regions where he resided and connected them with the cultural achievements of Western and Southern Europe. As a whole, the book offers a detailed analysis of the lifestyle of the ''model prince“ in this era.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses some important developments that enabled gospel music gain a greater foothold in Chicago during the 1940s. Migration from the South continued unabated into the 1940s, leading to increased membership in church congregations. In addition, gospel singers and musicians were popping up on the South and West Sides. This chapter first examines the contributions of the First Church of Deliverance and its stable of soloists, including Myrtle Jackson, Edna Mae Quarles, Elizabeth Hall, and R. L. Knowles, to Chicago gospel music. It then looks at “song battles” between two or more gospel quartets, groups, or singers, along with the First Church of Deliverance's Candle Lighting Service and Gospel Music Festival. It also provides a background on Mahalia Jackson's reputation and career as a gospel singer before concluding with an assessment of three popular Chicago-based gospel groups that plied their singing trade during and immediately after the war years: the Roberta Martin Singers, the Lux Singers, and the Gay Sisters.

Abstract:

This chapter establishes a framework for understanding pastoralism from both expressive and stylistic perspectives. The first half of the chapter draws upon the work of various literary critics (including Paul Alpers, Terry Gifford, and Annabel Patterson) in order to establish three broad thematic or topical categories for pastoral artworks: Arcadian, soft, and hard. The remainder of the chapter examines pastoralism in terms of its style, providing an overview of both the musical traits associated with it and the major critical and interpretive issues they raise—most notably, concerns with pastoralism’s perceived engagement with the feminine.
