Furtak, Rick Anthony. Emotions as Felt Recognitions. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190492045.003.0004.
Abstract (sommario):
Through our emotions we discern what has meaning or significance for us, and our capacity for affective apprehension is embodied in specific ways. To become passionately agitated, in one way or another, is to have one’s attention drawn to something that is experienced as axiologically prominent, and to be moved to respond accordingly. Moreover, the phenomenal character of emotion is intimately linked with what it reveals: to be frightened is thus to have an experience in which an apparent danger is recognized in a compelling manner. Likewise, it is by way of the visceral feelings of being agitated by grief that we fully recognize the death of a loved one. A more dispassionate judgment about such existentially significant matters falls short of what is disclosed to us in experiences of emotional knowing. What is at issue in our affective experience is nothing less than our sense of reality.

Abstract (sommario):
Many psychiatric disorders involve problems with the recognition and preservation of personal boundaries. Philosophy can help to clarify what is at stake, both socially and phenomenologically, in drawing such boundaries. In particular, assignments of responsibility and determinations of loss are deeply implicated in the determination of personal boundaries. Understanding these implications can help make sense of the volatile emotions of borderline personality disorder, for example, and it can clarify what is missing from DSM descriptions more generally.

Kleege, Georgina. Touch Tourism. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190604356.003.0005.
Abstract (sommario):
The chapter begins with an account of a touch tour at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and goes on to describe similar programs elsewhere. These programs vary widely in terms of their understanding and expectations of blind perception. I will also discuss sites that require visitors to interact with architecture or landscape nonvisually. The “Cathedrals through Touch and Sound” program in England promotes recognition that appreciating architecture engages senses beyond sight. Similarly, a topiary reproduction of Georges Seurat’s “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” though not designed for blind visitors, gives a tactile and kinaesthetic understanding of the painting’s perspective and composition. Ultimately, the chapter calls on museum educators to find ways to collect the observations of blind visitors. Since everyone does not have the opportunity to touch the art, it makes sense to capture the insights of those who do in the interest of enlarging cultural knowledge.

Buchanan, Allen. A Typology of Moral Progress. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190868413.003.0002.
Abstract (sommario):
This chapter identifies a number of developments that are candidates for moral progress: abolition of the Atlantic chattel slavery, improvements in civil rights for minorities, equal rights for women, better treatment of (some) non-human animals, and abolition of the cruellest punishments in most parts of the world. This bottom-up approach is then used to construct a typology of moral progress, including improvements in moral reasoning, recognition of the moral standing or equal basic moral status of beings formerly thought to lack them, improvements in understandings of the domain of justice, the recognition that some behaviors formerly thought to be morally impermissible (such as premarital sex, masturbation, lending money at interest, and refusal to die “for king and country”) can be morally permissible, and improvements in understandings of morality itself. Finally, a distinction is made between improvements from a moral point of view and moral progress in the fullest sense.

Cutter, Mary Ann G. How Is Breast Cancer Explained? Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190637033.003.0003.
Abstract (sommario):
The question “How is breast cancer explained?” raises a host of explanatory issues, including ones about the method we use to explain breast cancer, the etiology of breast cancer, and the extent to which our explanations of breast cancer provide clinical certainty. What we find is that, initially, it appears that medicine explains breast cancer using an empirical methodology that grants certain claims. But things are not as simple as one would initially think. Upon reflection, explanations of breast cancer are not simply empirical. Causal accounts of breast cancer are not typically modeled on a simple cause–effect relation. Given this, clinicians and patients must face the recognition that clinical explanations of breast cancer are probabilistic and a healthy sense of skepticism provides a check against an idealized sense of certain knowledge about breast cancer.

Thomason, Krista K. Ajax Redeemed. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190843274.003.0005.
Abstract (sommario):
This chapter argues that shame is a morally valuable emotion, but not in the traditional sense. It argues for a constitutive view of the moral value of shame. Determining an emotion’s moral value involves examining the role it plays in moral psychology rather than the circumstances under which it is permissible to feel. A liability to shame is constitutive of our recognition of other moral points of view and of a wider sense of self. This chapter shows that a liability to shame is morally valuable because it shows that we do not take our self-conception as the final authority on the kinds of people we are. We can see this by examining what is wrong with shamelessness. The shameless person takes her own self-conception to be the final and only authority in her self-estimation.

Martin, Graham R. Hearing and Olfaction. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199694532.003.0003.
Abstract (sommario):
Hearing and the sense of smell (olfaction) complement vision in gaining information about objects remote from the body. Hearing sensitivity in birds shows relatively little variation between species and sits well within the hearing capacities of young humans. Most birds have relatively poor ability to locate sounds in direction and distance. Only in owls does the accuracy of sound location match that of humans. A few highly specialized birds employ echolocation to orient themselves in the total darkness of caves. There is increasing evidence that olfaction is a key sense in birds guiding diverse behaviours across many species. Olfaction plays a key role in the location of profitable foraging locations at sea and on land, and in some species smell may be used to locate individual food items and nests. Olfaction may also play a role through semiochemicals in the recognition of species and individuals, and in mate choice.

Cutter, Mary Ann G. How Is Breast Cancer Evaluated? Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190637033.003.0004.
Abstract (sommario):
The question “How is breast cancer evaluated?” raises a host of considerations, including ones about the role of values in clinical concepts, the kinds of clinical values in medical thinking, and the extent to which our evaluations of clinical phenomenon provide clinical certainty. What we find is that, initially, breast cancer is a treatment warrant and appears to fit the view of a clinical entity that is value-neutral. But things are not as simple as one would initially think. Upon reflection, descriptions and explanations of breast cancer are nested in evaluative frames of reference through which they are seen, interpreted, and acted upon. Clinical evaluations of breast cancer are complex and involve appeals to functional, instrumental, aesthetic, and ethical values. As a consequence, clinicians and patients face the recognition that clinical evaluations of breast cancer are to some extent uncertain, and a healthy sense of skepticism provides a check against an idealized sense of evaluation in breast cancer medicine.

Lloyd, G. E. R. Intelligence and Intelligibility. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198854593.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
This study investigates the tension between two conflicting intuitions, our twin recognitions: (1) that all humans share the same basic cognitive capacities; and yet (2) their actual manifestations in different individuals and groups differ appreciably. How can we reconcile our sense of what links us all as humans with our recognition of these deep differences? All humans use language and live in social groups, where we have to probe what is distinctive in the experience of humans as opposed to that of other animals and how the former may have evolved from the latter. Moreover, the languages we speak and the societies we form differ profoundly, though the conclusion that we are the prisoners of our own particular experience should and can be resisted. The study calls into question the cross-cultural viability both of many of the analytic tools we commonly use (such as the contrast between the literal and the metaphorical, between myth and rational account, and between nature and culture) and of our usual categories for organizing human experience and classifying intellectual disciplines, mathematics, religion, law, and aesthetics. The result is a robust defence of the possibilities of mutual intelligibility while recognizing both the diversity in the manifestations of human intelligence and the need to revise our assumptions in order to achieve that understanding.

Brant, Jo-Ann A. The Fourth Gospel as Narrative and Drama. A cura di Judith M. Lieu e Martinus C. de Boer. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198739982.013.11.
Abstract (sommario):
This chapter examines the development and trajectories of the study of the Gospel of John as a unified narrative, Johannine literary techniques, and how the experience of the reader becomes a significant focus of research. Besides looking at the role of recognition and reversals in the Gospel’s plot and the distinctive features of Johannine characterization, special attention is given to the use of techniques that give the Gospel a dramatic quality. These include such things as the use of direct speech to tell the story and to serve as the main action, Johannine construction of space and time to provide a sense of ‘lived experience’, and the role of irony and suspense as a means of engaging the reader.

Yarrow, Simon. 5. Gendering the saints. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/actrade/9780199676514.003.0005.
Abstract (sommario):
Historically, men have always received greater public recognition for their sanctity than women. Why were women under-represented among those venerated as saints? The church is historically a patriarchal institution and the abiding sense that sainthood is a male distinction meshed with other historically patriarchal discourses of the family, and of medical and philosophical knowledge. ‘Gendering the saints’ explains that despite these difficulties, the road to sanctity for women was not impassable. It discusses the contexts in which different varieties of female sanctity emerged and flourished and considers three portraits of female sanctity—Teresa of Ávila, Thérèse of Lisieux, and Mother Teresa—women who shared a name, but found their own distinctive paths to sainthood.

August, Reinisch. Part VI The Post-Award Phase, 29 Enforcement of Investment Treaty Awards. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198758082.003.0029.
Abstract (sommario):
Investment arbitration between States and private parties is mostly pursued according to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Dispute (ICSID) Convention and under various institutional or ad hoc arbitration rules leading to arbitral awards, which are regarded as foreign arbitral awards in the sense of the 1958 Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. This chapter distinguishes between enforcement possibilities offered by the New York Convention for non-ICSID awards and the special enforcement regime for ICSID awards laid down in the ICSID Convention. In the majority of that fraction of cases in which host States were found to have incurred liability, the awards seem to have been voluntarily complied with.

Elsdon, Ron. Affiliation in the Workplace. Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc., 2002. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216187462.
Abstract (sommario):
This book draws on studies that quantify the link between individual development and organizational value creation. Strengthening this link is key to building a strong sense of affiliation and a more productive workforce. The author provides frameworks for characterizing the workforce, listening to the organization, using inclusion as a key differentiator, and applying mathematical modeling techniques to explore and quantify related areas. We are entering an era when it makes sense to move away from mere retention strategies of control and toward more mutually beneficial strategies of affiliation. This trend can be traced to the recognition of the knowledge worker's influence and the value of human capital in today's economy. To succeed in this emerging work world, organizational leaders and human resource professionals must create new relationships with individuals built around the concept of affiliation. This will mean changed roles and behaviors that respect mutual interests, and will require a culture of inclusion expressed internally through workforce diversity, externally through workforce partnerships, at a community level through philanthropy, and globally through the pursuit of a greater good.

Eekelaar, John. Responsibility. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198814085.003.0005.
Abstract (sommario):
This chapter analyses the role of relationship responsibility in the law of divorce and parenthood, using a framework that distinguishes historical and prospective responsibility. The former is concerned with attributing blame, the latter with defining roles. For divorce, it argues there are strong reasons why the legal process should not seek to assess blame for marital breakdown. Prospective responsibility is recognized through property and financial allocations after divorce. The grounds for allocating responsibility to specified adults towards children are also examined, including in cases of surrogacy and assisted reproductive technology. It concludes that while people have a responsibility to comply with the law, a fuller sense of responsibility will sometimes demand that people refrain from enforcing their legal rights, or act beyond their legal duties, out of recognition of ‘the other’ and the interests of the community.

Troisi, Alfonso. Nepotism. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199393404.003.0014.
Abstract (sommario):
Nepotism is a social habit that is commonly condemned because it threatens our confidence in meritocracy and offends our sense of fair play. Yet, nepotism has been a common practice in different cultures throughout ancient, modern, and contemporary history. This chapter explores the biological bases of this powerful human inclination to help one’s own and to introduce the reader to those evolutionary theories that account for nepotistic behaviors: kin selection and reciprocal altruism. The chapter briefly reviews the physiological and psychological mechanisms that allow kin recognition and the cultural means that have been developed by human societies to expand the definition of kinship to include nongenetic relatives. The concluding reflection of the chapter is that nepotism was a driving force in human evolution but, in contemporary large-scale societies, its practice can have disrupting effects because it is incompatible with individual rights.

Toren, Christina. Human Ontogenies as Historical Processes. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198823650.003.0010.
Abstract (sommario):
Across the human sciences one finds theoretical perspectives that recognize the nature–culture distinction as untenable. At the same time, the gap between demonstrating its inadequacy and developing a viable alternative approach is wide indeed. The recognition that autopoiesis (self-creation, self-production) is through and through a historical process puts paid to ideas of culture and nature as analytical categories. In the case of humans and other social organisms, autopoiesis is necessarily grounded in relations with others. This chapter explores the idea of history as lived (that is to say, embodied), and argues for a unified model of human being that is able to provide for, and explain, how we humans come to be who we are in all our historical particularity and, in the self-same process, how we make sense of ourselves and the world.

Finseth, Ian. The “Ghastly Spectacle”. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190848347.003.0002.
Abstract (sommario):
This chapter focuses on how witneᶊes to Civil War death made sense of their traumatic experience. The ethical challenge was one of recognition: to see and know the often-anonymous dead for who and what they were. Yet the dead were invariably integrated into familiar frameworks of meaning and into the conventions of aesthetics and rhetoric. Drawing on insights from phenomenology, pragmatism, Freudian psychology, and affect theory, the chapter shows that the psychological proceᶊes of abstraction and typification underlay a social logic of necrophilic dependency that both thrived on the dead and yet resisted their complex individuality. This problem is then connected to a long-standing cultural and historical melancholia whereby the Civil War dead have been internalized and eternalized as representational artifacts within a society that remains divided and ambivalent over the meaning of the war.

Hengehold, Laura. Simone de Beauvoir's Philosophy of Individuation. Edinburgh University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474418874.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
Most studies of Simone de Beauvoir situate her with respect to Hegel and the tradition of 20th-century phenomenology begun by Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty. This book analyzes The Second Sex in light of the concepts of becoming, problematization, and the Other found in Gilles Deleuze. Reading Beauvoir through a Deleuzian lens allows more emphasis to be placed on Beauvoir's early interest in Bergson and Leibniz, and on the individuation of consciousness, a puzzle of continuing interest to both phenomenologists and Deleuzians. By engaging with the philosophical issues in her novels and student diaries, this book rethinks Beauvoir’s focus on recognition in The Second Sex in terms of women’s struggle to individuate themselves despite sexist forms of representation. It shows how specific forms of women’s “lived experience” can be understood as the result of habits conforming to and resisting this sexist “sense.” Later feminists put forward important criticisms regarding Beauvoir’s claims not to be a philosopher, as well as the value of sexual difference and the supposedly Eurocentric universalism of her thought. Deleuzians, on the other hand, might well object to her ideas about recognition. This book attempts to address those criticisms, while challenging the historicist assumptions behind many efforts to establish Beauvoir’s significance as a philosopher and feminist thinker. As a result, readers can establish a productive relationship between Beauvoir’s “problems” and those of women around the world who read her work under very different circumstances.

Stanghellini, Giovanni. Symptom as cypher. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780198792062.003.0023.
Abstract (sommario):
This chapter argues that the symptom-as-aletheia concept can be better explained in the light of Jaspers’ concept of ‘cypher’. Cyphers show what without them would remain implicit for us. Symptoms are a special category of cyphers: through them alterity, that is, the hidden yet operative (and perplexing) dimension of our existence, is made manifest. Like symptoms, cyphers are the contingent opportunity of recognition, of a possible encounter between the person and the encompassing dimension of her existence. The cypher must keep on an inexhaustible signification with which no definite interpretation is commensurate. Symptoms in the phenomenological–hermeneutic paradigm are anomalies, but not abnormal phenomena in a strict sense. Rather, they are what awakens one’s care for oneself. The symptom reflects and reveals alterity in oneself—in it, alterity becomes conspicuous. From the vantage offered by the symptom one can see oneself from another, often radically different and new, perspective.

Briggs, Andrew, Hans Halvorson e Andrew Steane. The argument from design. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198808282.003.0011.
Abstract (sommario):
The argument from design is, generically, an attempt to argue from features of the natural world to the conclusion that it is the result of intelligent or considered creative action. The chapter examines various forms of this argument, especially those involving fine tuning, and finds them wanting. An approach based on Bayesian accumulation of evidence is also critiqued. The problem with all these approaches is that they misconstrue the situation one is in when it comes to deciding on what basis a relationship to God should be built. A relationship built on impersonal foundations can only be impersonal. But it remains perfectly appropriate to embrace the human instinct to allow a sense of wonder to increase one’s openness to God. Furthermore, the very inclination to see physical events as intelligible is itself a religious response, a recognition that the world is neither arbitrary nor meaningless.

Schmitz, Thomas A. Professionals of Paideia? A cura di Daniel S. Richter e William A. Johnson. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199837472.013.10.
Abstract (sommario):
This chapter analyzes to what extent public speaking as a sophist can be defined as a profession. While a number of aspects seem to point in this direction (the importance of hard work and good craftsmanship, the acceptance of wages, and the establishment of endowed chairs of rhetoric), other aspects show that sophists were not professionals in our modern sense of the term: their performances were, above all, a public demonstration of social status; recognition by their peers was a key feature of their encounters with each other. The interpretation of an anecdote about the sophist Hippodromus, his encounter with his colleague Megistias, and his physiognomy in Philostratus’s Lives of the Sophists demonstrates that the sophistic performance of status was seen as an expression of natural superiority and should be understood as a typical example of self-presentation by the Greek elite in the Roman Empire.

Soffer, Jocelyn, e Harold W. Goforth. Endocrine Comorbidities in Persons with HIV. A cura di Mary Ann Cohen, Jack M. Gorman, Jeffrey M. Jacobson, Paul Volberding e Scott Letendre. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199392742.003.0045.
Abstract (sommario):
A wide range of endocrine abnormalities commonly accompany and complicate HIV infection, many of which have implications for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals working with this population. Such abnormalities include adrenal insufficiency, hypercortisolism, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, decreased bone mineral density, and bone disease. Endocrinopathies are great mimickers of psychiatric disorders, manifesting in some cases as disturbances of mood, sleep, appetite, thought process, energy level, or general sense of well-being. Understanding the intricate and complex relationships between immunological, endocrinological, and psychological systems is important to improve recognition and treatment of reversible endocrinopathies, diminish suffering, and enhance quality of life and longevity in persons with HIV and AIDS. This chapter will present an overview of HIV-associated changes in the function of the hypothalamic–pituitary axes, adrenal glands, thyroid gland, gonads, and bone and mineral metabolism, and consider the psychosocial implications of such endocrinopathies.

Gabrielle, Kaufmann-Kohler, e Rigozzi Antonio. 8 The Annulment and Enforcement of the Award. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780199679751.003.0008.
Abstract (sommario):
Contrary to judgments, arbitral awards are final in the sense that they are not subject to appeals. This chapter examines the very limited remedy of annulment or setting aside of the award in accordance with Article 190(2) PILA, emphasizing that the annulment grounds in that provision are essentially concerned with the manner in which justice was rendered, as opposed to the content of the decision. The chapter also covers all aspects of the annulment procedure before the Swiss Supreme Court, from the admissibility of the action to cost allocation. In that context, it addresses the possibility for parties not seated in Switzerland to waive their right to seek the annulment of the award (Article 192(1) PILA). The chapter further discusses the revision of the award, and, in its final section, the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards by the Swiss courts in accordance with the New York Convention.

Chodat, Robert. Sociology to the Scientists. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190682156.003.0004.
Abstract (sommario):
Unlike Percy and Robinson, Ellison shows minimal interest in religious questions, and in this sense can be seen as part of a larger anticlerical project among some twentieth-century African-American writers. Unlike many other secular black intellectuals, however, he scorns the social sciences. His nonfiction repeatedly distinguishes meaning from matter, purposeful action from bodily motion, and continually highlights both “improvisation” and “black and white fraternity”—concepts that align him both with the pragmatism of his mentor Kenneth Burke and place him in a longstanding tradition of republican sociopolitical thought. His fiction, however, repeatedly emphasizes just how vexed such terms are in the context of modern American life. Invisible Man portrays a world governed unrelentingly by determinism and social–scientific theorizing, and his second novel went unfinished in part because he struggles to portray the mutual recognition that his essays insist is needed between black and white culture.

Rowett, Catherine. Conclusions and Further Tasks. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199693658.003.0013.
Abstract (sommario):
The chapter starts by telling a narrative to explain how and why the author came to reject the mistaken assumptions with which the research began, and how these initial assumptions had assumed false dichotomies familiar from existing work in the field. The chapter thereby explains why the results presented in Chapters 1–12 might seem unexpected. It draws together the chief philosophical lessons of those chapters, highlighting the fact that Plato is right about (i) how conceptual knowledge differs from both propositional knowledge and recognition of tokens, (ii) the different sense of ‘being’ involved in knowing ‘what it is’, about a type, (iii) the value of images and icons in the philosophical method, and (iv) the irrelevance of Socratic definitions and other bogus criteria for knowledge. Finally, it sketches some possible ways in which a further volume might apply the results to other dialogues.

Meade, Rosie, e Mae Shaw, a cura di. Arts, Culture and Community Development. Policy Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1332/policypress/9781447340508.001.0001.
Abstract (sommario):
This edited collection profiles the sites and subjects of arts practices in different geographical contexts, including Hong Kong and mainland China, India and Sri Lanka, Finland, Chile, Brazil, Lebanon, Mexico, the USA, Germany, Canada, the UK, and Ireland. Chapters capture how collective hopes, fears, allegiances, frustrations, and memories, are sung, danced, played, etched on walls, or conveyed through puppets and theatre. Contributors to the volume thus draw attention to some of the diverse ways that groups of people collectively make sense of, re-imagine or seek to change the personal, cultural, social, economic, political, or territorial conditions of their lives, while using the arts as their means and spaces of engagement. Across its chapters, the book explores a number of broad themes and questions. How can we conceptualise the relationship between community development and arts/cultural practice? What diverse forms does this relationship take in contemporary contexts? How do communities of people engage with, utilise, make sense of and through particular artforms and media? How can we understand the aesthetic and associated meanings of such engagements? How are the power dynamics related to authorship, resources, public recognition, and expectations of impact negotiated within community-based arts processes? How do economistic and neoliberal rationalities influence arts processes and programmes in community contexts? Together, the chapters also critically interrogate if, and how, dominant rationalities are being resisted and challenged through arts practices.

Hemerijck, Anton. The Uses of Affordable Social Investment. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198790488.003.0035.
Abstract (sommario):
The final chapter concludes with five contemporary ‘uses’ of social investment, in full recognition of limits underscored by critics. The first ‘use’ of social investment therefore concerns its ‘paradigmatic’ bearings. To what extent does social investment represent a distinct policy paradigm for twenty-first-century welfare capitalism? A second ‘use’ relates to paradigm change, in the sense of theoretical progress inspiring interdisciplinary methodological innovation, in particular with respect to the empirical assessment of well-being ‘returns’ on social investment. The third more practical ‘use’ covers the identification of virtuous social investment policy mixes of ‘stocks’, ‘flows’, and ‘buffers’. The fourth ‘use’ is geographically confined to the European conundrum of overcoming the fiscal austerity to make way for social investment reform, as means to reignite socioeconomic convergence, at least for the Eurozone. The more general final use of social investment bears on the ‘politics of social investment’ in the aftermath of the financial crisis.

Abstract (sommario):
Chapter 4 highlights how, as a consequence of migration and place-making processes, the discourses of locality, nation, and community came to be equated with the term ‘Mini-India’. Here, three intersecting meanings of the notion of Mini-India are discussed: The first section describes how the term ‘Mini-India’ is appropriated by the state to encompass diverse ethnic and religious identifications under the nationalist slogan ‘unity in diversity’ and to declare the pluralist Andaman society as a secular example of communal harmony. The second part considers Mini-India as a subaltern consciousness, which the author calls the ‘island mentality’. From this perspective, Mini-India refers to a localized sense of belonging that can also be termed a ‘rural cosmopolitanism’. Thirdly, it is argued that the notion of Mini-India must, at the same time, be regarded as an arena of politics in which ethnic communities compete with each other for funds and recognition by the state.

Abstract (sommario):
Chapter 5 analyses manifestations of history, that is, concrete historical legacies of power and knowledge in present-day Andaman society. The first section discusses the impact of hegemonic nationalist rhetoric—highlighting the role of bourgeois nationalist freedom fighters incarcerated in the Andamans—on the local sense and perception of history. The first section aims to show how politics of recognition influence the ways in which community actors constitute their present by narrating the subaltern past. The second section focuses on the manifestation of criminality as a crucial relation between the state and the population in the here and now. It shows that Andaman actors construct contemporary identities by referring to the criminal past of convicts deported to the islands; moreover, the institutionalization of criminality within the economic system of the Andaman divides the population into elite actors profiting from the black-market sector and subalterns whose participation in the same system brings them into continuous conflict with the law.

Abstract (sommario):
China uses coexistence as a strategy for managing international order to avoid great power conflict that might jeopardize international peace and stability. Coexistence is applied as a defensive strategy designed to change the status quo in China’s favor. China pursues coexistence by attempting to position Beijing as a mediator rather than a leader, to insist on regime consent as a basis for interference in domestic policies, to pursue the non-use of force for purposes of conflict resolution, and to embed its policies in the UN system. The chapter investigates the cases of the Diaoyu/Senkaku dispute between China and Japan and China’s contribution to antipiracy operations in the Gulf of Aden. The chapter concludes that China’s coexistence strategy has not obtained reciprocal legitimacy in its near abroad in the sense of a recognition from neighboring states that China takes into account the common interests of states when pursuing its national interests.

Abstract (sommario):
As recently as 1985, the doyen of social science history in Germany, Hans-Ulrich Wehler, said the study of everyday life added little more than a bit of ‘gruel’ to the main course of history. Since then, the turf wars between social history, history from below, and cultural history have themselves become a thing of the past. It was during the 1950s–1970s that first sociologists, and then ‘new social’ historians, embraced the everyday. The flowering of consumption studies since would be unthinkable without the recognition that everyday life is an important – perhaps the most important – place people find meaning, develop habits, and acquire a sense of themselves and their world. This article offers an historical account of the changing scope and politics of everyday life. In contrast to recent discussions that have made the everyday appear the product of Western Europe after World War II, it traces the longer history of the everyday and the different politics of modernity which it has inspired.

Abstract (sommario):
Compulsive buying disorder (CBD) is defined as excessive shopping cognitions and buying behavior that leads to distress or impairment. This chapter presents an overview of its definition and recognition, clinical symptoms, epidemiology, natural history, and both cultural and family factors. Compulsive buying disorder is found worldwide and has a lifetime prevalence of 5.8% in the U.S. general population. The disorder has a female preponderance, has an onset in the late teen years or early 20s, appears to be chronic or recurrent, and occurs mainly in women. Subjects with CBD report a preoccupation with shopping, prepurchase tension or anxiety, and a sense of relief following a purchase. Compulsive buying disorder is associated with significant psychiatric comorbidity, particularly mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders, other disorders of impulse control, and Axis II disorders, although there is no special “shopping” personality. The disorder tends to run in families, and these families are filled with mood and substance use disorders.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter focuses on events in Europe in the years between 1774 and 1789, or between the beginnings of the American and of the French revolutions. During this period, the stresses and conflicts grew more acute. Events in America aroused the sense of a new era in Europe, encouraged a negative attitude in Europe toward European institutions, and induced a belief in the possibility of change in the directions desired by persons hitherto excluded from political life. The influence of America, and of much indigenous European development, operated in general in a democratic direction. But real events in Europe, as distinguished from the stirring up of ideas, seemed to be going the opposite way. There was a widespread aristocratic resurgence, or perhaps only a “surgence,” a rising bid for power and recognition, or successful offensive against antiaristocratic forces, whether monarchic or democratic, at the very time when other developments, such as the impact of the American Revolution, made a great many people less willing than ever to accept any such drift of affairs.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter analyzes close readings of photographs of the battlefield dead at Antietam, published accounts of photographs of unknown soldiers, and public commentary and trial transcripts related to the practice of spirit photography. Such photographs posed considerable reading problems for viewers who were unaccustomed to the idea of photographic representations of death and the afterlife. In a time of national crisis, grief, and trauma, viewers made sense of such images by drawing on their recognition of photography's capacity to produce presence. The chapter first provides an overview of Civil War photography before turning to photographs of unknown soldiers at the Battle of Antietam. It also considers how the most permanent of absences were seemingly erased by the mysterious appearance of the apparent spirits of deceased family and friends in photographic portraits. During a period in which the collective grief of the “republic of suffering” vividly animated public life, those who read both war and spirit photographs recognized the medium's capacity for producing presence in the face of the most traumatic of absences.
