Abstract (sommario):
This chapter is divided into two main parts. The first offers a discussion of the nature of spirit, dealing with the current range of interpretive options, and arguing for a definition of spirit as a drive to self-assertion. The second is based on exegesis of the beginning of book IX and of the only reference to spirit included therein. The thesis is that a hardened and corrupt spirit plays a significant role in the tyrant’s psyche, because the latter’s condition is determined in part by the spirited part’s lawlessness as inflamed by the appetitive part. The two parts are bridged by a section concerning the animal metaphors related to spirit in the dialogue: this section interprets each animal as corresponding to a different state of spirit, and argues that the wolf—the animal associated with the tyrant in the dialogue—is the animal metaphor for the tyrant’s corrupt spirit.

Abstract (sommario):
Is there a way of doing business that can sustain material progress without displacing other values that are the essence of the good life? This chapter is a dialogue on this and related questions. Has the present economic system reversed the means–end relation between markets and life? What forms of reasoning and value might redress this? Given our growing awareness and relations, what responsibilities do we have toward people in other parts of the planet? Will enterprises face a sunset on the notion of limited liability? The chapter discusses the marketing economy’s manufacture of needs and the seeming overfinancialization of the economy. It concludes by proposing that if something is necessary to act morally, it is rational for us to believe in it. The spontaneous outcomes of the free market have to be evaluated against our societal goals, and the process reshaped via education and not only regulation.

Abstract (sommario):
As long as American public historians have been celebrating the idea that museums and historic sites can play a central role in civic life, they have agonized over how this can happen. But in other parts of the world, public histories have emerged as inextricable parts of larger civic projects. Each has developed a different definition of “dialogue,” reflecting different understandings of what democracy looks like. This paper explores three different visions of dialogue that evolved in different national contexts to support different visions of democracy: promoting public discussion of long-suppressed truths; integrating multiple narratives; and dialogue as a model of democratic engagement. Examples include Sites of Conscience like Memoria Abierta in Argentina, the District Six Museum and Constitution Hill in South Africa, and the Gulag Museum in Russia. The chapter concludes with reflections from the first stages of an experiment in international public history, the Guantánamo Public Memory Project.

Kamtekar, Rachana. Plato's Moral Psychology. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198798446.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
Plato’s Moral Psychology is concerned with Plato’s account of the soul insofar as it bears on our living well or badly, virtuously or viciously. The core of Plato’s moral psychology is his account of human motivation, and PMP argues that throughout the dialogues Plato maintains that human beings have a natural desire for our own good, and that actions and conditions contrary to this desire are involuntary (from which follows the ‘Socratic paradox’ that wrongdoing is involuntary). Our natural desire for our own good may be manifested in different ways: by our pursuit of what we calculate is best, but also by our pursuit of pleasant or fine things—pursuits which Plato assigns to distinct parts of the soul, sometimes treating these soul-parts as homuncular sub-agents to facilitate psychic management, and other times providing a natural teleological account for them. Thus PMP develops a very different interpretation of Plato’s moral psychology from the mainstream interpretation, according to which Plato first proposes that human beings only do what we believe to be the best of the things we can do (‘Socratic intellectualism’) and then in the middle dialogues rejects this in favour of the view that the soul is divided into parts with good-dependent and good-independent motivations (‘the divided soul’). PMP arrives at its different interpretation through the methodology of reading dialogues with a close eye to the dialectical dependence of what the main speaker says on the precise intellectual problem set up between himself and his interlocutors.

Abstract (sommario):
The Dialogues begins with a discussion about the proper religious education of Pamphilus, a pupil of Cleanthes. In rejecting Cleanthes’ idea that our natural faculties of reason can provide the basis of religion, Philo, Demea, and Hume speak as one, laying out skeptical challenges. This calls for an analysis of skepticism, both rustic and urbane; an examination of Hume’s work in the Treatise and Enquiry shows him to be, like the urbane Pyrrhonist, accepting of common-life reason and experience but wary of abstruse philosophizing. In subsequent parts of the Dialogues, Cleanthes must put forward an empirically based theology. If he does so successfully, he wins; if he can make no progress in this regard, he loses.

Abstract (sommario):
Climate justice requires sharing the burdens and benefits of climate change and its resolution equitably and fairly. It brings together justice between and justice within generations. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals summit in September 2015, and the Conference of Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris in December 2015, brought climate justice center stage in global discussions. In the run-up to Paris, Mary Robinson instituted the Climate Justice Dialogue. The editors of this volume, an economist and a philosopher, served on the High Level Advisory Committee of the Climate Justice Dialogue. During this process they noted the overlap and mutual enforcement between the economic and philosophical discourses on climate justice, but also the great need for these strands to come together to support the public and policy discourse. The authors in this collection demonstrate various different ways of bringing about this integration.

Abstract (sommario):
In the first of the Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, Hylas distinguishes two parts or aspects of every perception, namely a sensation, which is an act of mind, and an object immediately perceived. Hylas concedes that sensations can exist only in a mind, but maintains that the objects immediately perceived have a real existence outside the mind; they are qualities of material objects. This distinction and Philonous’s response to it are the topic of this essay. It considers the implications of this response for understanding Berkeley’s theory of perception and concludes that it supports attributing to Berkeley an object-first theory of perception, according to which it is the special kind of object involved in perception that is philosophically significant.

Smith, Leonard V. Conclusion. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199677177.003.0008.
Abstract (sommario):
This book has sought to deepen the dialogue between history and international relations theory in examining a pivotal moment in the history of international relations. The Paris Peace Conference constituted a historically specific effort to reimagine “the world.” More specifically, it sought to replace anarchy under realism with “sovereignty.” The conference could not live comfortably with the radical liberalism of Wilsonianism, but the international contract made at the time of the armistice with Germany meant that the conference could not live without it. The territorial state and its discontents lay at the heart of sovereignty at the conference. Two logics of the state fought each other to a standstill in Paris—that of the self-help of realism, forever seeking unattainable “security,” and that of the state that exists only in relation to other states, toward some common end.

Griffiths, Huw. Shakespeare's Body Parts. Edinburgh University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474448703.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
This book provides a sustained, formalist and theoretically-informed reading of the multiple body parts that litter the dialogue and action of Shakespeare’s history plays, including Henry V, Richard II, Richard III, King John, and the Henry IV plays. Starting with a literary critical analysis of these dislocated bodies, the book follows Shakespeare’s own relentless pursuit of a specific political question: how does human flesh, blood, and bone relate to sovereignty? Shakespeare’s treatment of the body is also read against two other bodies of work: early modern political writing, and twentieth- and twenty first-century critical theory. Like Shakespeare’s histories, these develop understandings of sovereign power through considerations of the body: from Jean Bodin’s inalienable sovereignty, located in the body of the monarch, through Hobbes’ mechanistic Leviathan, to Kantorowicz’s “two bodies” and Derrida’s “prosthstatics” in which forms of sovereign power are imagined as machine- or animal-like. Along the way, particular body parts – knees, hands, heads, and throats – come to the fore as particular objects of interest.

Abstract (sommario):
What we recognize today as Judaism differs in many ways from the biblical religion, but the ‘roots’ of the Jewish religion, the earliest parts of the Bible, are three or four thousand years old. ‘How did Judaism and Christianity split up?’ tells the traditional Christian and Jewish stories as to why the two separated, considers where they came from, and examines how they subsequently defined themselves. It would be unfair to judge early Christianity and Judaism by their attitudes to one another. The heritage of mistrust and mutual animosity still burdens us. However, in light of events of the last century, Christian–Jewish dialogue has opened up to revision and reconciliation of traditional attitudes.

Abstract (sommario):
During the summer of 1997, Ornette Coleman, pianist Joachim Kühn, and philosopher Jacques Derrida performed together at theLa Villettefestival outside Paris. This chapter revisits this now famous event—one the philosopher reported to be a collaborative failure—and repurposes it into a philosophical inquiry by developing a question Derrida’s thinking poses to Ornette Coleman’s music: Is improvisation present? In search for an answer, the chapter places Derrida’s observations about improvisation in dialogue with a theory of improvisation forwarded by moral philosopher and amateur pianist, Vladimir Jankélévitch. It concludes by proposing a theory of improvisation centered on the playful exposure to the necessity of inscription, the instability and uncertainty of idiom, and a form of fidelity to the vanishing now.

Abstract (sommario):
The democratic and dialogical self is placed in the broader context of three views on democracy—cosmopolitan, deliberative, and agonistic conceptions—relevant to a boundary-crossing world in which individuals and groups are faced with differences and oppositions. A model is presented including three fields of tension: between self and other, between three levels of inclusiveness (individual, social, and human), and between dialogue and social power. Meta-positions and promoter positions are included in the model. Its practical implications focuses on stimulating a dialogical relationship between reason and emotion, increasing tolerance of uncertainty, and including shadow positions as integrative parts of a democratic self. Finally, a definition of health is proposed that considers health of the self as a learning process in a democratic society.

Smith, Leonard V. Sovereignty at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199677177.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
We have long known that the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 “failed” in the sense that it did not prevent the outbreak of World War II. This book investigates not whether the conference succeeded or failed, but the historically specific international system it created. It explores the rules under which that system operated, and the kinds of states and empires that inhabited it. Deepening the dialogue between history and international relations theory makes it possible to think about sovereignty at the conference in new ways. Sovereignty in 1919 was about remaking “the world”—not just determining of answers demarcating the international system, but also the questions. Most histories of the Paris Peace Conference stop with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles with Germany on June 28, 1919. This book considers all five treaties produced by the conference as well as the Treaty of Lausanne with Turkey in 1923. It is organized not chronologically or geographically, but according to specific problems of sovereignty. A peace based on “justice” produced a criminalized Great Power in Germany, and a template problematically applied in the other treaties. The conference as sovereign sought to “unmix” lands and peoples in the defeated multinational empires by drawing boundaries and defining ethnicities. It sought less to oppose revolution than to instrumentalize it. The League of Nations, so often taken as the supreme symbol of the conference’s failure, is better considered as a continuation of the laboratory of sovereignty established in Paris.

Langin-Hooper, Stephanie M. Stronger at the Broken Places. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190614812.003.0006.
Abstract (sommario):
Hellenistic Babylonian figurines with separately made and attached limbs are not a uniform corpus in terms of their iconography or subject matter, but all leave similar visual traces of fragmentation on an otherwise complete miniature body. Rather than interpreting these visual “breaks” as simply an unfortunate side effect of these figurines’ manufacture, the chapter argues that the appearance of broken places actually enriched these objects’ affect by fixating and intensifying user interest on otherwise overlooked body parts. Strikingly, the artificial poses and hyper-real actions of fragmented figurine limbs all operated in the liminal zones of cultural contestation between Greeks and Babylonians: banqueting, childhood, male and female nudity, and sexual attraction. By depicting some of these most difficult points of cross-cultural contention in the miniature scale (where they were less threatening) and in fragmented form (where they were visually interesting), such figurines offered avenues into cross-cultural dialogue and communication.

Hom, Andrew R., Cian O'Driscoll e Kurt Mills, a cura di. Moral Victories. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198801825.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
What does it mean to win a moral victory? In the history, practice, and theory of war, this question yields few clear answers. Wars often begin with ideals about just and decisive triumphs but descend into quagmires. In the just war and strategic studies traditions, assumptions about victory underpin legitimations for war but become problematic in discussions about its conduct and conclusion. After centuries of conflict, we still lack a clear understanding of victory or reliable resources for discerning its moral status, its implications for conduct in war, or its relationship to changing ways of war. This book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to tackle such issues. It is organized in two parts. After a synoptic introduction, Part I, ‘Traditions: The Changing Character of Victory’, charts the historically variable notion of victory and the dialogues and fissures this opens in the just war and strategic canons. Individual chapters analyse the importance of victory in the Bible, Clausewitz’s strategy, the political uses of defeat, arguments for unlimited war, revisionist just war theory, and contemporary norms against fights to the finish. Part II, ‘Challenges: The Problem of Victory in Contemporary Warfare’, shows how changing security contexts exacerbate these issues. Individual chapters discuss ethics in unwinnable wars, the political scars of victory, whether we can ‘win’ humanitarian interventions, contemporary civil–military relations, victory in privatized war, and operations short of war. In both parts, contributors work towards a clearer understanding of victory, forwarding several shared themes discussed in a critical conclusion.

Abstract (sommario):
This introductory chapter first sets out the book's purpose, which is to describe and analyze the logic that drives left-based social movements. The book maps the underlying logic of a new figure of resistance—a new sociopolitical formation—as it has materialized across the world. It undertakes this mapping exercise through a historical and ethnographic analysis of the Global Social Justice Movement from 1994 to 2006, with a particular focus on the indymedia movement. It argues that historical and sociocultural patterns connect different periods of political protest. Specifically, it argues that the patterns of struggle in a particular period are best understood as developing, in an ideal sense, through a multilateral dialogue between social-movement actors and both the past and present. The chapter then introduces the term Cyber Left, suggesting that that we are on the cusp of a new stage in left-based social movements. This is followed by an overview of the two parts of the book.

Wróbel-Best, Jolanta, a cura di. Wheels of Change: Feminist Transgressions in Polish Culture and Society. University of Warsaw Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31338/uw.9788323549482.
Abstract (sommario):
Using rich and varied narrative images and resources, literary artworks, excerpts from philosophical and sociological writings, musicological theories and film studies, historical documents, and other materials, this collection of essays strongly sides with the feminist theory. All chapters tirelessly construct feminist discourse by depicting a new reality, language, and values to assess as well as understand the life, goals, and social achievements of women over a span of centuries in Polish culture and society. Feminist transgression is envisioned as a thematic category bridging diverse, seemingly loose, distant, and even apparently contradictory women’s accounts. This theme develops a cohesiveness among chapters and provides an underlying unity, built on the coincidence of opposites, known in Latin as the principle of “coincidentia oppositorum.” Even if the dialogue among chapters may be perceived on the surface as difficult, the volume’s parts communicate deeply with each other by narrating, detailing, elaborating, and enlarging in space and time the presented dynamics of women’s transgressions. Transgression thus creates a special form of debate.

Abstract (sommario):
Cet ouvrage collectif, dirigé par Cécile Meynard, Thomas Lebarbé et Sandra Costa, a pour ambition d’aborder quelques aspects des nouvelles questions qui se posent aujourd’hui aux acteurs du patrimoine à l’ère du numérique. En effet, dans ce contexte non seulement nouveau mais qui évolue constamment, la définition même du patrimoine s’enrichit et devient plus complexe, intégrant de nouveaux objets : on parle depuis plusieurs années déjà de patrimoine immatériel ou de patrimoine vivant, et il existe désormais des patrimoines nativement numériques, par nature fragiles et évanescents : pour tenter de constituer, conserver, rendre accessible, visible et compréhensible ce patrimoine sans cesse enrichi, les humanités ont un rôle fondamental, à la fois culturel, scientifique, pédagogique, de référencement, de structuration, d’interaction et d’enrichissement. Par le biais de textes portant sur des réflexions théoriques mais présentant aussi des projets, le présent ouvrage vise aussi à montrer à quel point le dialogue est fondamental entre les différents acteurs pour permettre le succès de la numérisation et de la valorisation de ce patrimoine.

Ataria, Yochai, Shogo Tanaka e Shaun Gallagher, a cura di. Body Schema and Body Image. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198851721.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
Body schema refers to the system of sensory-motor functions that enables control of the position of body parts in space, without conscious awareness of those parts. Body image refers to a conscious representation of the way the body appears—a set of conscious perceptions, affective attitudes, and beliefs pertaining to one’s own bodily image. In 2005, Shaun Gallagher published an influential book entitled ‘How the Body Shapes the Mind’. This book not only defined both body schema (BS) and body image (BI), but also explored the complicated relationship between the two. The book also established the idea that there is a double dissociation, whereby body schema and body image refer to two different, but closely related, systems. Given that many kinds of pathological cases can be described in terms of body schema and body image (phantom limbs, asomatognosia, apraxia, schizophrenia, anorexia, depersonalization, and body dysmorphic disorder, among others), we might expect to find a growing consensus about these concepts and the relevant neural activities connected to these systems. Instead, an examination of the scientific literature reveals continued ambiguity and disagreement. This volume brings together leading experts from the fields of philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry in a lively and productive dialogue. It explores fundamental questions about the relationship between body schema and body image, and addresses ongoing debates about the role of the brain and the role of social and cultural factors in our understanding of embodiment.

Hermans, Hubert J. M. Introduction. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190687793.003.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
The introduction presents the two-fold purpose of this book: (a) to demonstrate that the self is not determined by society as an outside cause but shaping society in its own self-organization and (b) to investigate the extent to which the self is democratically organized. The presented positioning theory provides an alternative to both Antony Greenwald’s totalitarian ego and Marvin Minsky’s depiction of the self as a bureaucratic organization. As an analogy to Amartya’s conception of democracy as a societal learning process, the democratic self is described as an internal learning process in which parts of the self (so-called I-positions) are continuously organized and reorganized in fields of tension between dialogue and social power. The presented theory is characterized as a “bridging theory” that explores the links between theories from different disciplines with the intention to develop a theory of a self that is continuously involved in processes of positioning, counter-positioning, and repositioning. The content of the 8 chapters of the book are summarized.

Abstract (sommario):
What IS a body? What are its boundaries and its contours? Can we ever really know the body in its entirety, or only ever in its parts? How do we come to know the body through the senses? And what does it mean to be a body and to encounter the body of the Other? Such questions resonate across the divide between the domains of philosophical and critical thought and clinical medicine, as likely to be asked by a doctor as by a humanities scholar. Yet the answers either might give would be spoken in radically different locations, utilise separate vocabularies and registers, and draw on distinct paradigms and histories, suggesting that there is no way to talk across these different domains. It is one of the key tasks of the critical medical humanities to establish a transdisciplinary dialogue across this divide, offering clinical medicine new terms and concepts to strengthen its ongoing dealings with the human body. An initial entry point into the drama and complexity of the questions

Wheeldon, Marianne. Debussy's Legacy and the Construction of Reputation. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190631222.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
This book examines the vicissitudes of Debussy’s posthumous reception in the 1920s and early 1930s and analyzes the confluence of factors that helped to overturn the initial backlash against his musical aesthetic. In tracing this overarching narrative, this study enters into dialogue with research in the sociology of reputation and commemoration, examining the collective nature of the processes of artistic consecration. Key in this regard is identifying the networks of influence that had to come together and act in several spheres—textual, performative, material—to safeguard the composer’s legacy. Today, Debussy’s position as a central figure in twentieth-century concert music is secure: this book examines how and why this seemingly inevitable state of affairs came about. Although this study focuses on one particular instance of reputation building, its scope is also broader in that it addresses the more general processes by which reputations are constructed, contested, and consolidated. And by analyzing the forces that came to bear on the formation of Debussy's legacy, this book contributes to a greater understanding of the interwar period—the cultural politics, debates, and issues that confronted musicians in 1920s and 1930s Paris.

Caws, Mary Ann, e Michel Delville, a cura di. The Edinburgh Companion to the Prose Poem. Edinburgh University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474462747.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
The Edinburgh Companion to the Prose Poem is the first comprehensive guide to the prose poem written from an international and comparative perspective. It covers the history of the genre from Aloyisius Bertrand’s Gaspard de la nuit and Baudelaire’s Paris Spleen to its most important modern and contemparay practitioners. The volume gives special attention to the genre’s hybridity as well as to its propensity to engage in a dialogue with other genres, discourses and artistic forms. It addresses the complexities and complications generated by such interdiscursive and intergeneric negotiations while examining the prose poem’s capacity to reclaim other genres, functions and modes (fiction, the essay, the parable, etc.) which have come to be associated more or less exclusively with prose literature. Written by prominent scholars of modern and contemporary poetry and poetics, The Edinburgh Companion to the Prose Poem offer analytical and historically informed narratives of the genre’s transformations and variations across the nineteenth and twentieth century and into the next. The volume provides the first international and comparative approach to the genre and includes chapters on non-Western traditions (e.g., Japan, China, the Arab World).

Musicians are continually ‘in the making’, tapping into their own creative resources while deriving inspiration from teachers, friends, family members and listeners. Amateur and professional performers alike tend not to follow fixed routes in developing a creative voice; instead, their artistic journeys are personal, often without foreseeable goals. The imperative to assess and reassess one’s musical knowledge, understanding and aspirations is nevertheless a central feature of life as a performer. Musicians in the Making explores the creative development of musicians in both formal and informal learning contexts. It promotes a novel view of creativity, emphasizing its location within creative processes rather than understanding it as an innate quality. It argues that such processes may be learned and refined, and furthermore that collaboration and interaction within group contexts carry significant potential to inform and catalyze creative experiences and outcomes. The book also traces and models the ways in which creative processes evolve over time. Performers, music teachers and researchers will find the rich body of material assembled here engaging and enlightening. The book’s three parts focus in turn on ‘Creative learning in context’, ‘Creative processes’ and ‘Creative dialogue and reflection’. In addition to sixteen extended chapters written by leading experts in the field, the volume includes ten ‘Insights’ by internationally prominent performers, performance teachers and others.

Aubertin, Catherine, e Anne Nivart. Nature in Common. Beyond the Nagoya Protocol. Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris; IRD Editions, Marseille, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5852/hc45.
Abstract (sommario):
The Nagoya Protocol is a major international agreement for global biodiversity governance and was meant to put an end to the uncompensated exploitation of natural resources and knowledge in the Global South. Its objectives were to ensure greater justice and equity between providers and users of genetic resources, raise the profile of the contributions and knowledge of indigenous and local communities, and decolonise research, while promoting the conservation of biodiversity. Thirty years after the Convention on Biological Diversity from which it originated, the authors examine the legal and practical manifestations of this virtuous framework, which entered into force in 2014. While it has fostered recognition of the plural nature of knowledge and helped to establish traceability of resources, it has also contributed to imposing a commercial vision of nature and knowledge, exacerbating identity politics, and making access to biodiversity more complex in an era of globalised research. This book presents an interdisciplinary dialogue based on feedback from researchers and conservation stakeholders (local communities, managers of collections and natural parks). Looking beyond the Nagoya Protocol, it invites us to question the relationships between societies and nature in light of the ecological emergency. It is intended for anyone with an interest in the economics of biodiversity and environmental justice.

Krook, Mona Lena. Violence against Women in Politics. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190088460.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
Women have made significant inroads into politics in recent years, but in many parts of the world, their increased engagement has spurred attacks, intimidation, and harassment intended to deter their participation. This book provides the first comprehensive account of this phenomenon, exploring how women came to give these experiences a name—violence against women in politics—and lobby for its increased recognition by citizens, states, and international organizations. Drawing on research in multiple disciplines, the volume resolves lingering ambiguities regarding its contours by arguing that violence against women in politics is not simply a gendered extension of existing definitions of political violence privileging physical aggressions against rivals. Rather, it is a distinct phenomenon involving a broad range of harms to attack and undermine women as political actors. Incorporating a wide range of country examples, the book illustrates what this violence looks like in practice, catalogues emerging solutions around the world, and considers how to document this phenomenon more effectively. Highlighting its implications for democracy, human rights, and gender equality, the volume concludes that tackling violence against women in politics requires ongoing dialogue and collaboration to ensure women’s equal rights to participate—freely and safely—in political life around the globe.

Niven, Alex, a cura di. Letters of Basil Bunting. Oxford University PressOxford, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198754817.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
Abstract This is a long-awaited first selected edition of the letters of Basil Bunting, one of the major modernist poets of the twentieth century. It includes a large portion of Bunting’s correspondence (around 200 letters) to recipients including Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, Harriet Monroe, William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, Ted Hughes, George Oppen, Allen Ginsberg, Donald Davie and Tom Pickard. Following Bunting from his first encounters with literary modernism in London and Paris in the 1920s to his death in Northumberland in 1985, this selection showcases a narrative that is crucial to the history of modernism and modern poetry in English. Highlights include a long and detailed dialogue with Ezra Pound in the 1930s on political, economic, and literary subjects; a rich, ruminative exchange with the American Marxist poet Louis Zukoksfy lasting over four decades; and various accounts of the excitements and controversies of the Anglo-American poetry scene of the 1960s and 1970s. Whether Bunting is writing from New York at the height of the Depression, Iran in the aftermath of World War II or the north of England during preparation of his masterpiece Briggflatts (1966), his prose is unfailingly sharp, eloquent, entertaining, and caustic. This edition contains detailed annotations of Bunting’s letters, a critical introduction, glossary of names, and an editorial commentary.

Romano, Gabriella. Italian Fascism’s Forgotten LGBT Victims. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350377127.
Abstract (sommario):
This book examines the question of the repression of LGBT people through psychiatry during the fascist regime in Italy, a subject that has not been investigated until now. It draws together the substantial archival record of patients, doctors and fascist authorities to reconstruct intricate behind-the-scenes dialogue, and to document one of the ways in which the regime repressed LGBT lives in this period. Italian Fascism’s Forgotten LGBT Victims focusses on three different institutions in three parts of the country - Rome, Florence and Girifalco, areas with different attitudes and therapeutic approaches. Archive research results are contextualised within the psychiatric theory of the time, highlighting the existing discrepancies between theory and daily routine practice of mental health institutions in Italy during the regime. Until now, scholars of psychiatry have mainly engaged with the late-19th and early-20th century, or the 1970s and 1980s, when asylums were abolished in Italy after the so-called ‘Basaglia Law’. Gabriella Romano expands current knowledge of the history of Italian psychiatry and - by analysing the relationship between central government, local authorities and asylum directors - gives new insights into the power relationship between central government and localities. Furthermore, she sheds light on historiography on homosexuality in Italy, a subject that has been largely ignored with regard to the fascist period and more generally.

Robertson, Simon. Nietzsche and Contemporary Ethics. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198722212.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
Nietzsche is one of the most subversive ethical thinkers of the Western canon. This book offers a critical assessment of his ethical thought and its significance for contemporary moral philosophy. It develops a charitable but critical reading of his thought, pushing some claims and arguments as far as seems fruitful while rejecting others. But it also uses Nietzsche in dialogue with, so to contribute to, a range of long-standing issues within normative ethics, metaethics, value theory, practical reason, and moral psychology. The book is divided into three principal parts. Part I examines Nietzsche’s critique of morality, arguing that it raises well-motivated challenges to morality’s normative authority and value: his error theory about morality’s categoricity is in a better position than many contemporary versions; and his critique of moral values has bite even against undemanding moral theories, with significant implications not just for rarefied excellent types but also us. Part II turns to moral psychology, attributing to Nietzsche and defending a sentimentalist explanation of action and motivation. Part III considers his non-moral perfectionism, developing models of value and practical normativity that avoid difficulties facing many contemporary accounts and that may therefore be of wider interest. The discussion concludes by considering Nietzsche’s broader significance: as well as calling into question many of moral philosophy’s deepest assumptions, he challenges our usual views of what ethics itself is—and what it, and we, should be doing.

Abstract (sommario):
This book advances the idea of democratic mending in response to the growing problem of disconnections in contemporary democracies. Around the globe vital connections in our democratic systems are wearing thin, especially between citizens and their elected representatives, between citizens in polarized public spheres, and between citizens and their complex governance systems. The wide scale of disrepair in our democratic fabric cannot realistically be patched over through institutional redesign or one-off innovation. Instead this book calls for a more connective and systemic approach to repairing democracies. For reform inspiration the authors engage in a critical dialogue between systems thinking in deliberative democracy and contemporary practices of political participation. They present three rich empirical cases of how everyday actors — citizens, community groups, administrators, and elected officials—are seeking to create and strengthen democratic connections in unpromising or challenging circumstances. The cases uncover the practical and varied work of democratic mending; these are small-scale, incremental interventions aimed at repairing disconnects in different parts of democratic systems. The empirical insights revealed in this book push forward ideas on connectivity in democratic theory and practice. They demonstrate that even in moments of dysfunctional disconnection, considerable learning, adaptation, and improvisation for democratic renewal can emerge. Ultimately, this book pioneers an approach to analysing democratic politics which might spark a ‘connective turn’ in the way scholars and practitioners think about and seek to improve democracy at the large scale.

Clay, Catherine. Time and Tide. Edinburgh University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474418188.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
This book reconstructs the first two decades of the feminist magazine Time and Tide, founded in 1920 by Lady Margaret Rhondda and other women who had been involved in the women’s suffrage movement. Unique in establishing itself as the only female-run general-audience intellectual weekly in what press historians describe as the ‘golden age’ of the weekly review, Time and Tide both challenged persistent prejudices against women’s participation in public life and played an instrumental role in redefining women’s gender roles and identities in the interwar period. Drawing on extensive new archival research the book recovers the contributions to this magazine of both well- and lesser-known British women writers, editors, critics and journalists and explores a cultural dialogue about literature, politics and the arts that took place beyond the parameters of modernist ‘little magazines’. Offering insights into the history and workings of this periodical that no one has dealt with to date, the book makes a major contribution to the history of women’s writing and feminism in Britain between the two world wars. The book is organised chronologically in three parts, tracing Time and Tide’s evolution from its ‘Early Years’ as an overtly feminist magazine (1920-28), to its ‘Expansion’ and rebranding in the late 1920s as a more general-audience weekly review (1928-35), and, finally, to its ‘Reorientation’ in the mid-1930s in response to a world in crisis (1935-39).

Gammelgaard, Lasse R., a cura di. Madness and Literature. University of Exeter Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.47788/pmmg3806.
Abstract (sommario):
Mental illness has been a favourite topic for authors throughout the history of literature, and, conversely, psychologists and psychiatrists like Sigmund Freud and Karl Jaspers have been interested in and influenced by literature. Pioneers within philosophy, psychiatry and literature share the endeavour to explore and explain the human mind and behaviour, including what a society deems as being outside perceived normality. This volume engages with literature’s multifarious ways of probing minds and bodies in a state of ill mental health. To encompass this diversity, the theoretical approach is eclectic and transdisciplinary. The cases and the theory are in dialogue with a clinical approach, addressing issues and diagnoses such as trauma, psychosis, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, self-harm, hoarding disorder, PTSD and Digital Sexual Assault. The volume has three parts. Chapters in Part I address literary representations of madness with a historical awareness, outlining the socio-political potentials of madness literature. Part II investigates how representations of mental illness can provide a different way of understanding what it is like to experience alternative states of mind, as well as how theoretical concepts from studies in literature can supplement the language of psychopathology. The chapters in Part III explore ways to apply literary cases in clinical practice. Throughout the book, the contributors explore and explain how the language and discourses of literature (stylistically and theoretically) can teach us something new about what it means to be in ill mental health.
