Full text

Abstract:

This chapter discusses payment, liquidated damages, minimum payment, and accelerated payment clauses. It first gives a brief introduction to payment clauses and their construction, before turning to liquidated damages clauses. For the latter, the chapter introduces the clause with a set of propositions delivered during the Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v New Garage and Motor Co Ltd case. Next, the chapter turns to minimum payment clauses. These clauses are a feature of many hire-purchase arrangements and are subject to the new legitimate interest test. Acceleration clauses, meanwhile, are particularly common in asset finance arrangements and commercial lending. Such clauses often work in tandem with express termination clauses, and appear to have become more common in the wake of the restrictive common law approach to damages resulting from the exercise of an express termination provision.

Full text

Abstract:

The co-authors of this chapter—an internist and a psychoanalyst—examine the situation of a patient whose care was enhanced by narrative methods of collaborative writing by physician and patient. In turns, the co-authors discuss psychoanalytic and narratological aspects of this clinical case. The analyst proposes that, in the care of medically ill patients, transference may occur not to the analyst but to the illness itself and that a stabilizing transitional space, as described by D.W. Winnicott, may open up within routine medical practice. The internist reviews concepts of creativity, reflexivity, and reciprocity as aspects of a narratively fortified practice. Together, they can unite patient and clinician in care for a specific episode of illness and can also create both participants’ reciprocal awareness of the inevitability of death to come, binding them in a powerful and lasting alliance as fellow humans facing mortality.

Reny, Marie-Eve. Informal Protestantism in China and Local Government Toleration. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190698089.003.0003.

Full text

Abstract:

Protestantism is the fastest-growing religion in China. This chapter accounts for why Chinese society has become more religious in the reform period and, most importantly, for the emergence of a large number of informal Protestant churches that challenge the central government’s policy on religious co-optation. It elaborates on some of the central government’s key regulations on religious affairs and the way they have constrained religious practice in state-sanctioned churches. Those pertain to the registration of religious sites, proselytization and religious education, the diffusion of religious materials, and religious leaders’ interactions with international actors. It sheds light on how unregistered Protestant churches have bypassed those regulations, and how local governments have turned a blind eye on their activities.

Dorval, Bruce, and David J. Bearison. Collaborative Cognition. Praeger, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400628207.

Full text

Abstract:

Human cognition increasingly is coming to be understood and studied as something that does not necessarily reside within individuals, but rather as something that evolves through interpersonal communication. Using the interpersonal event as the unit of analysis, the authors ofCollaborative Cognitionexamine how children interactively co-construct knowledge and ways of knowing in social contexts. In an illustration of the idea that thinking is as much interactive as self-reflective--one that supports the cognitive developmental theories of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky--this important new study examines the social origins of thought, and the inherently discursive nature of thinking itself. The social context in question was created by the authors, who showed to pairs of children a variety of game materials and asked them to collaborate on creating a board game. Negotiating the co-construction of a game, back and forth, turn by turn, enabled the children to construct jointly a series of mutually obligatory goals and rules that sequentially defined the evolution of increasingly more complex modes of play. This innovative use of sequential analyses to study evolving streams of conversation discourse represents a fully process-oriented, rather than outcome-oriented, approach to studying cognitive development.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter explains the severe and systemic restrictions of the press during the period of military tutelage. However, despite the armed forces being removed from political life, press censorship intensified during the AKP period. Under military tutelage, the press was severely curtailed, even compromised. While the erosion of the military’s power is good for democracy, freedom of expression did not improve. Instead of allowing the media to flourish, the government has manipulated it, co-opted it or attacked it fervently and furiously. The lack of a free and fair press in Turkey represents a significant democratic deficit. Not only does it avoid government accountability and erode a check on the power of the government, but it also highlights severe restrictions on freedom of expression. The fear and self-censorship of the media diminishes the internal debate on Turkish politics and the direction of the country, and it is a reflection of the state of affairs in Turkey as a whole.

Full text

Abstract:

Why does a designated terrorist organisation decide to abandon and de-legitimate political violence and terrorism? When does a rebel leader decide to turn an insurgency into a non-violent social movement? How does a radical militia turn into a reformist party? Why do these transformations and collective de-radicalisation processes happen? And what are the conditions for initiating and sustaining them? These are the main questions that this edited book engages with to explain group transformations from bullets to ballots. The book starts with the testimonies of two leaders of collective transformations – from violent to non-violent activism – who co-led their own, very different organisations. The first is a former leftist guerrilla commander who became the minister of intelligence services in his own country. The second is a former spokesperson of a jihadist organisation who co-led its abandonment of terrorism and became the political advisor to its party. The book goes on to qualitatively analyse over 20 different cases in more than 15 countries. The authors rethink collective de-radicalisation processes of organisations inspired by ideologies ranging from religious to leftist to ethnonationalist, in times of setbacks, global rise of nationalist populism and persistence of violent extremism. Their findings impact and contribute to democratic transition, ending civil wars, peacebuilding, countering violent extremism, counterinsurgency and counterterrorism.

Full text

Abstract:

Against a generalized loss of meaning in society, social scientists find it hard to undertake relevant research that addresses problems facing our world. Science has turned from a vocation aimed at improving the lot of humanity to a careerist game dominated by publishing hits in starred journals. Instrumental rewards replace the passion for discovery and the intrinsic quest for knowledge. Competition among academics and academic institutions, such as journals, universities, and professional bodies, is not intrinsically harmful. Competition in the social sciences, however, is currently resulting in large quantities of formulaic publications, increasing specialization, faddishness, opportunism, and a general ironing out of originality and relevance. Academic authorship and the voice of individual scholars is wiped out as most papers are co-authored by several researchers, each a specialist in his or her area. The result is a devaluation of scholarship and a privileging of technical expertise in narrow disciplinary areas.

Full text

Abstract:

Due to the rapid growth of prison populations over the past 25 years, scholars have more recently turned their attention to the issue of parental separation as a result of incarceration. Parental separation as a result of incarceration is a potentially adverse childhood experience affecting at least 1.7 million children and adolescents. In this chapter, the authors provide a contextualized discussion of parenting from prison. First, the authors summarize research on the effects of incarceration on offender parents and their families, with particular emphasis on what these effects might mean in terms of the offenders ability to parent. Second, the authors discuss family processes relevant to parenting from prison, with particular attention to family contact processes and co-parenting scenarios with children’s caregivers. Finally, the chapter concludes with a discussion of innovative programs and policies that support parenting within the context of parental incarceration.

Abstract:

Hydrogen ion turnover in resting adults exceeds 500 mole/24 hours and maintenance of hydrogen ion balance is an essential requirement for normal cellular, organ and body function. A variety of mechanisms co-operate to ensure that the hydrogen concentration in plasma can be tightly controlled between 35 to 46 nano moles per litre and any deviation being rapidly compensated. Inherited metabolic diseases can to a variable degree impact to disturb this equilibrium. The underlying causes responsible for this outcome are disease dependent and may occur due to generation of overwhelming quantities of hydrogen per se, or at the level of renal reabsorption or generation of bicarbonate or due to tissue hypoxia resulting from either poor pulmonary or cardiac function.

Full text

Abstract:

A number of scholars in recent years have turned to market models to describe religion in nineteenth-century America, arguing that competition among churches largely accounts for the nation’s relative religious vitality. However, a detailed examination of one religious ‘marketplace’—the city of Lowell, Massachusetts—demonstrates the limits of such interpretations. First, such scholars fail to capture the ways that Protestant churches functioned as an interdenominational de facto establishment, co-operating in the shared project of promoting the public good and defending moral norms. Also, to the extent that churches did compete, they competed for money, as much as for adherents. In doing so, they appropriated new methods accompanying the expansion of capitalism, competing for funds in nascent capital markets. Thus, churches appealed to individuals not primarily as consumers of religious goods, but as potential investors in religious institutions, and presented churches as both safe and profitable investments and bulwarks of social stability.

Abstract:

Our deeds carry their terrible consequences…consequences that are hardly ever confined to ourselves.' Pretty Hetty Sorrel is loved by the village carpenter Adam Bede, but her head is turned by the attentions of the fickle young squire, Arthur Donnithorne. His dalliance with the dairymaid has unforeseen consequences that affect the lives of many in their small rural community. First published in 1859, Adam Bede carried its readers back sixty years to the lush countryside of Eliot's native Warwickshire, and a time of impending change for England and the wider world. Eliot's powerful portrayal of the interaction of ordinary people brought a new social realism to the novel, in which humour and tragedy co-exist, and fellow-feeling is the mainstay of human relationships. Faith, in the figure of Methodist preacher Dinah Morris, offers redemption to all who are willing to embrace it. This new edition is based on the definitive Clarendon edition and Eliot's corrected text of 1861.

Abstract:

This chapter traces the co-production of knowledge on the global migrations of biota—humans, plants, and animals—by exploring a brief biography of life in the United States over the past decade. It also emphasizes the human influence on the natural world by calling this contemporary epoch the Anthropocene, an era driven primarily by the impact of human actions. Thus, with refusing the unproductive choices of a nostalgic past or an anarchic future, this chapter turns to a naturecultural vision of responsible and ethical living with our cohabitants, a vision that is always politically astute and reflexive of the complex histories of gender, race, class, sexuality, and nation that have shaped our ideas of nature and the natural.

The final section covers the implied terms imposing duties on employees. These include the duty to work and obey instructions and orders; the duty to adapt, exercise care, and co-operate; the duty of mutual trust and confidence; and the duty of loyalty, fidelity, and confidence.

Full text

Abstract:

Hobsbawm’s work on nationalism has three successive phases, which reflect how the subject has been approached by others. In the first phase, nationalism was subordinated to Marxist class analysis. The second phase, is marked by a spate of studies on nationalism as inventing or imagining nations. Hobsbawm’s key contribution was as co-editor of The Invention of Tradition. In the third phase, nationalism was treated as ‘identity politics’, as one finds in some of Hobsbawm’s later works. These approaches yield diminishing results. Class analysis makes nationalism an epiphenomenon; treating nationalism as an invention detaches it from social reality; identity politics turns it into social psychology. Yet Hobsbawm’s global perspective, his treatment of nationalism as an ideology, and his concern with ‘history from below’ represent three promising new avenues for nationalism research.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the works of prominent NFL coaches who have recently been figured as “experts of subjectivity” by publishing houses targeting the masculine market. The chapter offers a close reading of the books authored or co-authored by five coaches. These books are often the centerpieces of multimedia projects, these books are crafted to recommend carefully branded approaches to management, using football as an example, but asserting wide applicability. These works offer insights into how masculine wisdom about management and self-development is packaged for popular consumption. The analysis first considers example of Vince Lombardi, then turns to works by two major publishing houses that have produced works on the topic of leadership by NFL coaches. The chapter considers two books from Penguin’s “Portfolio” imprint and two from the evangelical publisher Tyndale.

Abstract:

This chapter surveys recent research that utilizes the measures and techniques of social network analysis (SNA) to explain socioecological outcomes. The chapter focuses on the role of key characteristics of networks—including density and fragmentation, bonding and bridging social capital, brokerage and leadership—in promoting adaptive governance and co-management, and in turn, successful environmental management outcomes. It argues that network structures affect the ability of actors to coordinate their behavior, cooperate with one another, share information, and adapt their behavior to new circumstances. The chapter concludes by discussing limitations and future directions for research, drawing attention to the need for more work integrating ecological and social networks, comparative SNA, and analyses of network formation and evolution.

Abstract:

This essay explores the notion of role-playing as a form of “emergent authorship,” a bottom-up, procedural process leading to co-created, unexpected narrative outcomes. The essay begins with an overview of role-playing practices in the context of what might be termed the “participatory turn” in performance and culture, providing examples tabletop and live action role-playing games. Goffman’s concept of “engrossment” (from his writings on games) is compared to Csikszentmihalyi’s notion of “flow” as applied to role-playing and emergent authorship. The relationship of character to role-play is also explored through Schechners “not me, not not me” paradox, in which a character is seen as a hybrid between the performer and the fictional entity. Finally, drawing on Goffman and Fine, I outline a series of sociological “frames” that describe the functions within role-playing, and conclude with further discussion of role-playing as it fits into the larger participatory turn in performance and culture.

Abstract:

After decades of inconsistent involvement in the affairs of the two services, after the turn of the century the government finally intervened to try and impose a degree of coherence upon Britain’s imperial defence strategy. This was the result of two simultaneous crises—the acute challenge of the Boer War and the growing urgency of finding a solution to the defence of India. This chapter examines political attempts to reform the Army and the formation of the Committee of Imperial Defence, a body intended to concert the activities of the two services. It argues that the initial activities of the CID demonstrated the potential of the body to achieve meaningful change in the Admiralty and War Office and to co-ordinate a fledgling joint strategy.

Abstract:

This chapter considers the implications of the ‘material turn’ in the humanities and social sciences for the study and writing of legal history. It suggests three paths forward for how legal historians might incorporate these insights into their research. These approaches are labelled as ‘categorizing’, ‘materializing’, and ‘filing’. ‘Categorizing’ refers to the possibility of redrawing ontological categories which could open up new ways of understanding law in the past. ‘Materializing’ looks at an analytical approach in which law is understood as a phenomenon composed of the material things it draws into itself. ‘Filing’ looks at the materiality of legal systems, both through their processes of record creation and their performative praxis, focusing attention on the co-constitutive nature of law and its material-bureaucratic apparatus.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter reflects on questions of language, culture, community, and the state via the history of Oxford University (1860 to 1939). After considering Matthew Arnold’s ambivalence about his alma mater, it turns to the quarrel over the identity of the English language between the historian E. A. Freeman and the lexicographer James Murray and its impact on the Oxford English Dictionary. The second section traces this quarrel through the disputes about the creation of the new School of English in Oxford in the 1890s, focusing on the relationship to the established School of Literae Humaniores and the idealist assumptions underpinning the debate. The third section shows what bearing this had on the creation of the International Committee for Intellectual Co-operation, the precursor to UNESCO, in the interwar years. It centres on Gilbert Murray, then Professor of Greek at Oxford, and concludes with his public exchange with Tagore in 1934.

Abstract:

This chapter asks what role the sources of international law can play in establishing or generating the normativity of international law. While sources of law are typically treated as determinants of the validity of international legal norms, this chapter argues that the normativity of international law is not co-extensive with the idea of legal validity. The chapter first develops a series of jurisprudential arguments which treat the full normativity of law, including international law, as dependent upon both the procedural and substantive values of its norms. It then turns to international law specifically, arguing that the sources of international law can contribute towards international law’s full normativity only if they carry forward values that respect the autonomy and responsibility of those who are subject to the law. The chapter finally concludes with a discussion of the normativity-generating potential of first treaties and custom.

Full text

Abstract:

The chapter focuses on the genre’s potential, widely recognized by ancient practitioners and theorists alike, to cultivate friendship among individuals who for one reason or other are prevented from interacting face to face. Edwards shows how Seneca co-opts this particular aspect of the genre’s ideology, not least to further his educational programme and his self-conscious aspiration to a broad and enduring readership. Specifically, she argues that Seneca posits important parallels between the relationship amongst absent friends on the one hand and the relationship of philosophically minded students to earlier thinkers and practitioners of philosophy on the other, as both invite (indeed require) dialogic interactions mediated by writing and reading. This conversation with the dead in turn anticipates the mode of interaction between Seneca and future generations (including contemporary audiences).

Abstract:

The supervenience argument against non-reductive moral realism threatens to rule out the existence of irreducibly normative properties by establishing that for every normative property there is a corresponding non-normative property that is necessarily co-extensive with it. This chapter identifies a hyperintensional analogue of the supervenience argument that threatens non-reductionism even within a hyperintensional setting by establishing that for every normative property there is a corresponding non-normative property that has the very same grounds and is, accordingly, hyperintensionally equivalent. It is then argued that non-reductionism can nevertheless be salvaged by distinguishing the different grounding relations that are involved in grounding the normative property and the corresponding non-normative property. Non-reductionist versions of moral realism thus turn out to be committed to there being irreducibly different grounding relations.

Abstract:

Most work on the psychobiology of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) has focused on “proximal” mechanisms: the possible cognitive-affective processes, neuronal circuitry, and genetic variants involved in underpinnings of this disorder. Evolutionary medicine has, however, emphasized that a comprehensive biologic approach to medical and psychiatric disorders should also address “distal” mechanisms. These are the adaptive processes that have underpinned phylogeny and ontogeny, and that are therefore relevant to a comprehensive understanding of biologic states and traits. Evolutionary accounts of disease have emphasized constructs such as co-evolution, constraints, defenses, mismatch, reproductive success, and tradeoffs. This chapter discusses how concepts from evolutionary theory may be useful in developing a more comprehensive model of BDD, and how this may in turn be useful for guiding aspects of clinical assessment and intervention.

Abstract:

This chapter asks whether we can hold on to the picture of the morally responsible subject as we knew it in the face of evidence from social psychology about the impact of contexts on human behaviour. Some theorists have taken this to present a major challenge to moral theorizing. However, the chapter argues that, while we should acknowledge the malleability of human behaviour, we should not give up the notion of responsible agency. Rather, we need to broaden our theoretical horizon in order to include individuals’ co-responsibility for the contexts in which they act. This argument is a general one, but it is of particular relevance for organizations: it is our shared responsibility to turn them into contexts in which moral agency is supported rather than undermined.

Abstract:

Shortly after the fall of the Trou Coffy insurgency in March 1792, Abbé Ouvière was appointed a delegate of the free colored Confederacy and tasked with returning to France to present their cause before the National Assembly in Paris. The delegation’s chief aim was to secure their full civil rights as French citizens; however, unbeknownst to them, Abbé Ouvière was a royalist who rejected the French Revolution and acted clandestinely to restore the rule of the ancien régime over Saint-Domingue. Several dramatic turns thus ensued when the priest’s papers were seized, including letters from his co-ideologues and his ailing wife, whom he had secretly married two years prior. Forced to flee France because of his political deceit, Ouvière would soon find himself in Jamaica, eventually making an dramatic passage to Philadelphia to embark on a new phase of his life. Chapter 7, “An Abbé’s Atlantic Adventures,” focuses on these events.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the efforts by black female nurses and white male nurses to claim a space for themselves in a profession that relegated them to the margins. It begins with a discussion of the founding of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses and the Army Nurse Corps (ANC), along with an overview of healthcare and home-front racial politics during World War II. It then turns to nurse shortages during World War I and World War II and proceeds by analyzing the World War II integration campaign by African American female nurses within the larger context of the civil rights movement. In an effort to break down racial barriers, the chapter shows that African American nurses co-opted traditional gender conventions to make the claim that the sex of the nurse, not race, should determine nursing care for soldiers. It also explores how African Americans used wartime rhetoric about equality and democracy on behalf of their campaign for equal rights, justice, and opportunity.

Abstract:

What is a meaningful life? What does it mean to flourish? Antonia Case, the co-founder of New Philosopher and Womankind magazines, quits her corporate job in the city and, with her partner, travels across the world in search of meaning. In a quest to find answers, she turns off the soundtrack of the media, rids herself of technology, and with little more than books as carry-on luggage, she journeys from Buenos Aires to Paris, from Barcelona to Byron Bay, seeking guidance from ancient philosophers and modern-day psychologists on what is a good life, and what is a life worth living. Along the way she discovers why winning the lottery doesn't make you happy, why making is better than having, and how love and belonging are vital to our sense of selves. Packed with insight into life’s big questions, Flourish will take you on a riveting journey in search of what matters most.

Abstract:

Personality disorders (PDs) and substance use disorders (SUDs) frequently co-occur both in the general population and in clinical settings. The authors review the recent literature that documents high comorbidity between these two classes of disorders, discuss possible mechanisms of comorbidity, and describe the clinical implications of this comorbidity. Although most attention on comorbidity between PDs and SUDs has focused on antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD), it is also clear that other PDs (in particular, paranoid, avoidant, and obsessive compulsive PD) are prevalent among those suffering from SUDs. The effect of SUD on PD expression appears to be one of exacerbating PD symptomatology and, in turn, contributing to chronicity. This has important treatment implications in that clinicians must keep in mind the challenges present when planning and implementing treatment for those with both SUD and PD.
