Depression and Creative Writing Students
Authors: Webb Jen
Published: January 2022

Though writers might be more prone than others to depression, we also have the escape hatch of the phantasy world we can create: ‘every single phantasy,’ Freud wrote, ‘is the fulfilment of a wish, a correction of unsatisfying reality’ (Freud 1959a: 146).So one effective way of dealing with depression is to focus on the making of our creative works, and through this to promulgate other stories about the community, society and value that will allow these works to work for us.
A Deal with the Devil: Practicalities vs Academic Accommodations in Teaching First Year Poetry Writing at Malaspina University-College
Authors: Roberts Kevin
Published: January 2022

I have lost count of the number of first year CW poetry students who have come up to me at about mid-semester and announced with innocent sincerity: “I didn’t know it was this hard to write a good poem!” I do know that the realisation of the effort in art and craft involved in poetry grows steadily with students in each succeeding year of CW workshops. I also do not know if a future Nobel Prize poet will emerge from a lonely garret somewhere beyond any CW class, or whether they will have taken a degree in CW at a University where a “deal” has been struck with the academic world. But despite all the academic accommodations involved in teaching CW poetry writing, I do know that many, many students who have taken CW classes will certainly appreciate the books of poetry which are published, attend poetry readings, and have a life-long appreciation of the tremendous demands of art and craft involved in writing a fine poem.

Published: January 2022

High-quality teaching of foreign languages to future specialists can be carried out through the reorganization of the educational process through modern educational technologies. To successfully achieve educational goals, it is important to recognize the basic knowledge of students, their willingness to learn, educational preferences, interests and respond accordingly to them, differentiating the learning process. Differentiated learning is an approach to teaching students with different abilities within the same group. The goal of differentiated learning is to maximize the individual learning success of each student by meeting individual educational needs and assisting in the learning process. The article considers one of the effective means of teaching foreign languages (using the example of the educational program "Information Systems") – level differentiation, which allows you to choose the volume and depth of learning of educational material, taking into account and taking into account the abilities, interests and educational needs of students. The implementation of the idea of level differentiation is represented by a methodological model, which consists in students passing certain educational stages with mandatory study of the section for additional independent work. The presented model takes into account the level of foreign language learning, individual characteristics and educational needs of each student.

Authors: Campos de Faria Débora , Scarano Paulo Rogério , Vartanian Pedro Raffy
Published: January 2022

O artigo tem como objetivo identificar o papel da regulação governamental para a rentabilidade e a estrutura de mercado das instituições financeiras. Para tanto, são estimados modelos de dados em painel, envolvendo todos os bancos que operaram com carteira comercial no período compreendido entre 2000 e 2017. Os resultados apontam que as variáveis diretamente relacionadas à regulação não são estatisticamente significativas para o desempenho bancário. Nesse contexto, revelam-se significativas para a rentabilidade bancária as variáveis relacionadas à concentração bancária e a eficiência das firmas do setor. Já em relação à estrutura de mercado, as variáveis relacionadas com a regulação, tais como a “participação do volume de crédito direcionado” e “as regulações relevantes”, com potencial para geração de barreiras à entrada, são estatisticamente significativas, impactando positivamente os níveis de concentração do setor. Os resultados encontrados sugerem ainda que, apesar de não afetar diretamente a rentabilidade do setor, a regulação interfere indiretamente nesse aspecto, ao contribuir para maior concentração do mercado.

BIM Model for Railway Intermediate Station: Transportation Perspective
Authors:   Syrian Railways General Est., Ministry of Transportation, Syria, Alnoor Bashar Abd
Published: January 2022

As a result of the imposed war on Syria since 2011 until now, most Syrian cities have been completely or partly devastated on multiple levels. This urge the needs for developing a comprehensive, balance and sustainable reconstruction strategy. Transportation sector in Syria was subjected to vandalism and systematic destruction. Therefore, the reconstruction strategy should take into account the need to rehabilitate, restore or create vital axes to connect all Syrian cities. Maintaining existed railway lines or constructing new lines require expanding railway stations to meet the expected traffic flow for both passengers and cargo. On the other hand, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been crystallized as a new technological concept in the construction industry. It is considered a revolution that has transformed the way in which engineering facilities and infrastructures are designed, analyzed, constructed and managed. In such context, the author has applied BIM technology for modeling a real case of railway intermediate station called XiaMen railway station, China. When the modeling process was finished, the station model allows the author to have the needed documentation of station simultaneously. Besides, this model highlights any possible conflicts or design mistakes before the real construction starts. This study makes a novel contribution by providing a new method for 3D digital railway station that motivates designers and contractors to carry out BIM in this vital sector. It paves the way to support the reconstruction phase with modern technologies and its applications.

Toplu iş sözleşmesine taraf işçi sendikasına üye olmayan işçilerin dayanışma aidatı ödemek suretiyle sözleşmeden geçmişe dönük yararlanmaları, iş hukukunun en önemli sorunlarından biridir. Bunun nedeni, konunun, kolektif sendika özgürlüğü ile sendikaya üye olmama (negatif sendika) özgürlüğünün kesiştiği bir alanı ilgilendirmesidir. Anayasa Mahkemesi, 30 Aralık 2020 tarihinde, negatif sendika özgürlüğünün korunması konusunda önemli bir karar vermiştir. Ancak bu kararın, ele alınan konu hakkındaki görüş ayrılıklarını ortadan kaldıracağını beklemek mümkün görünmemektedir. Bu incelemede, anılan karar hakkındaki düşüncelerimiz ortaya konulmaktadır.
İsveç Göçmen Entegrasyon Politikalarının Kapsamlı Analizi
Authors: ÇALLI KAPLAN Melike
Published: January 2022

İsveç göç tarihi çok uzun yıllara dayanmasına rağmen İsveç’in göçmenlere yönelik politika düzenlemeleri ülkede çok daha sonra başlamıştır. Bunun temel sebebi ise göçmen profiline dayandırılmaktadır. İsveç göçmen profili başlangıçta Finlandiya’dan gelen göçmenlerinden oluşmaktaydı. Belirtilen göçmen grubu İskandinav toplum yapısı ve kültürünü yansıttığı için İsveç toplumuna uyum gerektirecek göç politikalarına ihtiyaç duyulmadı. İsveç’te ilk tutarlı ve dikkate değer göçmen politikaları 1975 sonrası oluşmuştur. Belirtilen tarihten sonra ise ülkenin ekonomik ve siyasi durumundaki gelişmelere göre İsveç göçmen politikaları açık göçmen politikalarından kısıtlayıcı göçmen politikalarına doğru değişim göstermiştir. Özellikle 2011 yılında tüm dünyanın gündeminde de olan Suriyeli göçmen kabulüne İsveç başlangıçta ılımlı bakmıştır. Ancak 2015 yılında İsveç Hükümeti ‘Mülteci Krizi’ ilan etmiş ve kısıtlayıcı göçmen entegrasyon politikalarına yönelmiştir. Bu çalışmada MIPEX 2020 indeksine göre alanında 52 ülke arasında ve sekiz göçmen politikası sınıflamasında uyguladığı göçmen entegrasyon politikaları ile ön plana çıkan ve ilk onda yer alan İsveç’in göçmen entegrasyon politikaları incelenmektedir. Çalışmada, İsveç göç süreci sınıflaması kapsamı genişletilerek yeni bir sınıflama oluşturulmaktadır. Çalışmada, Göçmen Entegrasyon Politikası İndeksi (MIPEX) verilerinin, göç ve entegrasyon alan yazını çerçevesinde eleştirel bir değerlendirmesi de yapılmaktadır. Ayrıca Temmuz 2021 yılından sonra yürürlüğe giren İsveç Yabancılar Yasası’nın olumlu olumsuz yönleri de ortaya konulmaktadır.

Published: January 2022

İnsanların temel ihtiyaçlarını gidermeleri en temel haklardandır. Dünyanın genelinde insanların bu ihtiyacını kullanarak faiz üzerinden geliştirilen borçlandırma sistemi, toplumda derin eşitsizlikler ve adaletsizlikler oluşturarak onu parçalamaktadır. Oysa maddi ihtiyaç sahiplerine yardım etmek, onlarla dayanışarak yaşamak her şeyden önce insani bir görevdir. Bu çerçevede yeni bir zihin üzerinden geliştirilen adil ve yeni bir para birimi ile “güzel borç verme” anlamında karz-ı hasen çok önemli ve işlevsel bir rol üstlenebilir. Bu makalenin amacı, İslam iktisadı ışığında insanların asli ihtiyaçlarını insani, meşru ve uygun bir şekilde karşılamak için yeni yaklaşımlar bulup keşfetmeye ve gündeme getirip tartışmaya açmaktır. Bu noktadan hareketle, genel insani umdelerden olan faizsizlik ilkesi açısından uygun ve meşru olduğu düşünülen, iktisadi yardımlaşma ve dayanışmayı hedef alan yeni bir sistem olarak Enflasyona Endeksli TL (ETL) ve Karz-ı Hasen Fonu (KHF) modelleri üzerinden bir çözüm arayışı sunmaktır.

Published: January 2022

The indiscriminate disposal of wastes generated from automobile workshops has contributed immensely to the accumulation of heavy metals within the immediate environment. Food security and human health are threatened as edible plants and fruits take up these metals. This study investigated the health risk assessment associated with Terminalia catappa fruit consumption. Soil and Terminalia catappa plant parts (roots, stems, shoots and fruit) from Nsukka automobile workshop were analyzed for As, Cr, Ni, Cu. Pb, Zn, Cd, and Fe. This was done using an atomic absorption spectrometer after acid digestion. The average concentration of As, Cr, Ni, Cu. Pb, Zn, Cd, and Fe in the fruit were 1.09±0.49, 1.43±0.74, 1.08±0.45, 19.31±6.32, 4.21±1.73, 11.23±1.45, 1.87±0.17 and 28.35±4.22 mg/kg, respectively. Arsenic and cadmium had a relatively higher BCF (As - 0.66, Cd - 1.15), TF (As - 0.92 and Cd - 0.83) and BAF (As - 0.47 and Cd - 0.45) when compared to other investigated metals. The HQ obtained for Cd was the highest (0.895), while the THI was 1.869. The heavy metal concentration in fruit exceeded the acceptable permissible limits stipulated by USEPA, WHO and FAO. From the risk assessment, it was concluded that cadmium was the major contributing factor associated with developing health hazards and carcinogenic risk. Therefore, it is fitting to notify the target population who consume tropical almonds from Nsukka automobile workshop how unsafe eating the fruit can be.

This research will examine and explore the evaluation of law enforcement practices in the 2015-2020 Concurrent Elections through various doors (justice in many rooms), namely Election Supervisory Board Province/Regency/City, State Administrative Court, District Court, Honorary Board of Election Organizers and Constitutional Court. The result triggers legal uncertainty and is oriented towards procedural fairness rather than substantive justice. This research is normative legal research. Research approach used is the principle of law, legislation, and conceptual. Data collection techniques are carried out using the library study method. Technical data analysis using hermeneutic methods, namely describing objectively and systematically the content of norms and practices interactively. In the future (ius costituendum) is needed integration (one roof system) in the enforcement of electoral law in order to achieve the ideals of substantive justice. The operationalization of this idea is to redesign the electoral law enforcement system through the revitalization of Election Supervisory Board current function as a semi-judicial Judicial Settlement Agency. Election Supervisory Board authority to complete cases of administrative violations, violations of the electoral process, and a code of conduct whose rulings are final and binding. While the dispute of election results is resolved through the Supreme Court in accordance with the provisions of Article 24 of the 1945 Constitution and Article 157 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 10 of 2016 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents and Mayors. Election Supervisory Board authority is designed to focus more on law enforcement with administrative sanctions instead of criminal.

Photographic Presidents
Authors: Finnegan Cara A.
Published: January 2022

Throughout U.S. history, presidents have participated in photography as subjects, producers, and consumers of photographs. Yet few scholars have examined the 180-year relationship between presidents and photography in any depth. Photographic Presidents studies how presidents shaped and participated in transformative moments in the history of the medium: George Washington, who more than 50 years after his death emerged as a crucial subject for early photography in a nation eager to consume portraits of elite leaders; John Quincy Adams, who in the early 1840s lamented in his diary his failure to get a good daguerreotype; William McKinley, whose 1901 assassination set off a morbid race to find and publish the dead president’s “last photographs”; Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt, each vexed by encounters with “candid cameramen” with the capacity to catch their subjects unaware; and Barack Obama, whose use of social media photography embodied the tensions inherent in early twenty-first-century digital photography. From its introduction in 1839 to the present day, photography has introduced new visual values that have often clashed with existing social and cultural norms. As representations of elite leaders who symbolized the nation, presidential photographs became sites of tension in which the implications of these new visual values played out in public.
Black Women, Citizenship, and the Making of Modern Cuba
Authors: Brunson Takkara K.
Published: January 2022

In Black Women, Citizenship, and the Making of Modern Cuba, Takkara Brunson traces how women of African descent battled exclusion on multiple fronts and played an important role in forging a modern democracy. Brunson takes a much-needed intersectional approach to the political history of the era, examining how Black women’s engagement with questions of Cuban citizenship intersected with racial prejudice, gender norms, and sexual politics, incorporating Afro-diasporic and Latin American feminist perspectives.
Brunson demonstrates that between the 1886 abolition of slavery in Cuba and the 1959 Revolution, Black women—without formal political power—navigated political movements in their efforts to create a more just society. She examines how women helped build a Black public sphere as they claimed moral respectability and sought racial integration. She reveals how Black women entered into national women’s organizations, labor unions, and political parties to bring about legal reforms. Brunson shows how women of African descent achieved individual victories as part of a collective struggle for social justice; in doing so, she highlights how racism and sexism persisted even as legal definitions of Cuban citizenship evolved.

Estimating transaction cost for cloud-based private ethereum blockchains
Authors: Silva Igor Gonçalves , Gonzalez Pedro Henrique , Mendonça Diogo Silveira
Published: January 2022

Blockchain technology is increasingly being used by several companies in the most varied sectors of the economy. The possibility of having decentralized applications (DApps) allows for the emergence of technological innovations such as cryptocurrencies and decentralized asset tracking applications. Many of these DApps are deployed in the cloud with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) payment model, in which the payment is made according to the use of the service. However, it is not simple to estimate the cloud infrastructure costs that a DApp will consume. Furthermore, correctly estimating infrastructure costs is essential to analyze the viability and develop business models for enterprise DApps. This work presents an experience report on estimating the cloud infrastructure cost for an enterprise DApp. To do that, we deployed a private Ethereum DApp, using Proof-of-Authority consensus algorithm, with several different configurations of Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 instances and blockchain parameters. We benchmark the transaction processing capacity, CPU and disk usage in each configuration, estimating their maximum capacity and costs. We shared our methodology to measure and estimate those costs and our insights on best configuration practices for reducing costs of deploying enterprise DApps in the cloud.

Published: January 2022

As redes veiculares ad hoc (VANETs) possibilitam que passageiros de veículos inteligentes usufruam de aplicações multimídias, como chamadas VoIP e streaming de vídeo. Contudo, as VANETS são redes altamente dinâmicas, com veículos se movendo frequentemente entre as células de cobertura dos pontos de acesso, o que pode causar interrupções no fornecimento das aplicações. Dessa forma, procedimentos efetivos de handoff para manter a continuidade do fornecimento de conteúdo enquanto os veículos se locomovem se tornam imperativos. Este artigo apresenta um mecanismo de handoff definido por software e com suporte à multihoming para garantir o handoff transparente em um cenário veicular heterogêneo (Redes IEEE 802.11p e LTE), assegurando os níveis de QoS/QoE exigidos pela aplicação de tempo real. Os resultados de simulação mostram a eficácia do esquema proposto em comparação a técnica baseada em RSSI.

Published: January 2022

LoRaWAN é um protocolo de acesso ao meio baseado na camada física LoRa (Long Range). Esta tecnologia utiliza Aloha puro, tamanho variável de pacote e espalhamento espectral adaptativo. O objetivo desse artigo é propor uma mudança no protocolo de acesso ao meio, substituindo o padrão Aloha por um CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) Adaptativo. O impacto dessa alteração é analisado em termos da taxa de entrega de mensagens, taxa de vazão da rede e eficiência energética. Com o CSMA Adaptativo, pode-se notar uma melhora na vazão da rede e na eficiência energética, tornando o protocolo mais confiável e capaz de suportar implementações que necessitem dessas características. Redes LoRa têm como uma das suas maiores preocupações uma grande autonomia de seus nós, assim uma melhora na eficiência energética, em termos de quantidade de bits enviados por Joule de energia, torna o método de acesso ao meio proposto ainda mais atrativo. Pode-se notar com as simulações realizadas que com uma grande ocupação da rede o CSMA Adaptativo obteve uma eficiência energética 173% maior que o CSMA e 62% maior que o Aloha.

Published: January 2022

People with visual impairments struggle with urban mobility and independent travel, opening up opportunities for technological advances to improve their quality of life. The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an essential role in bringing improvements and accessibility for visually impaired people. Although alternatives aimed to use IoT in urban mobility, those solutions are still in the initial stages and do not supports urban mobility for people with visual impairment. This paper proposed and evaluated a low-cost IoT architecture that uses Single-Border Computers (SBCs) to support urban mobility. A performance evaluation showcased that our low-cost architecture handles bus trace workload and is suitable for supporting impaired people to get information concerning bus location on Smart Cities scenarios.

Zero-Sum Victory
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

Why have the major post-9/11 US military interventions turned into quagmires? Despite huge power imbalances in the United States' favor, significant capacity-building efforts, and repeated tactical victories by what many observers call the world's best military, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq turned intractable. The US government's fixation on zero-sum, decisive victory in these conflicts is a key reason why military operations to overthrow two developing-world regimes failed to successfully achieve favorable and durable outcomes. In Zero-Sum Victory, retired US Army colonel Christopher D. Kolenda identifies three interrelated problems that have emerged from the government's insistence on zero-sum victory. First, the US government has no organized way to measure successful outcomes other than a decisive military victory, and thus, selects strategies that overestimate the possibility of such an outcome. Second, the United States is slow to recognize and modify or abandon losing strategies; in both cases, US officials believe their strategies are working, even as the situation deteriorates. Third, once the United States decides to withdraw, bargaining asymmetries and disconnects in strategy undermine the prospects for a successful transition or negotiated outcome. Relying on historic examples and personal experience, Kolenda draws thought-provoking and actionable conclusions about the utility of American military power in the contemporary world—insights that serve as a starting point for future scholarship as well as for important national security reforms.
The Most Hated Man in Kentucky
Authors: Asher Brad
Published: January 2022

For the last third of the nineteenth century, Union General Stephen Gano Burbridge enjoyed the unenviable distinction of being the most hated man in Kentucky. From mid-1864, just months into his reign as the military commander of the state, until his death in December 1894, the mere mention of his name triggered a firestorm of curses from editorialists and politicians. By the end of Burbridge's tenure, Governor Thomas E. Bramlette concluded that he was an "imbecile commander" whose actions represented nothing but the "blundering of a weak intellect and an overwhelming vanity. "In this revealing biography, Brad Asher explores how Burbridge earned his infamous reputation and adds an important new layer to the ongoing reexamination of Kentucky during and after the Civil War. Asher illuminates how Burbridge—as both a Kentuckian and the local architect of the destruction of slavery—became the scapegoat for white Kentuckians, including many in the Unionist political elite, who were unshakably opposed to emancipation. Beyond successfully recalibrating history's understanding of Burbridge, Asher's biography adds administrative and military context to the state's reaction to emancipation and sheds new light on its postwar pro-Confederacy shift.

As poesias e as narrativas permitem duas estratégias para que as questões morais e éticas, no sentido foucaultiano, sejam exploradas.

Da formação do professor aos porquês dos clássicos no ensino da arte: tudo pode ser mais bonito
Authors: Romanelli Guilherme Gabriel Ballande , Schlichta Consuelo Alcioni Borba Duarte
Published: January 2022

Este artigo versa sobre o espaço do clássico no ensino da Arte, considerando a complexidade desse conceito que foi, ora referência central, ora território a ser evitado, nas diversas orientações para o ensino da Arte. Objetiva-se colocar face-a-face distintas concepções de abordagem dos clássicos nos processos de didatização da Arte, uma problemática central no âmbito das investigações sobre a formação de professores de arte no Observatório da Formação de Professores no âmbito do Ensino de Arte (OFPEA/BRARG). Para a construção da argumentação, a orientação metodológica adotada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica a partir de referenciais canônicos do ensino da Arte, também conhecidos como “clássicos” e de escritos atuais. Busca-se jogar luz sobre alguns critérios que têm dado corpo ao conceito de clássico assimilado pelos professores de arte e que marcam indelevelmente determinadas pinturas, músicas, romances, obras da dramaturgia, particularmente o caráter de permanência e a resistência dos clássicos aos embates do tempo (SAVIANI, 2013); que se impõem como inesquecíveis, trazendo marcas que atravessam os tempos e culturas (CALVINO, 2007). A reflexão conduz para a compreensão dos equívocos em rechaçar sumariamente os clássicos no Ensino da Arte, sob pena de negar aos estudantes elementos essenciais da relação que podemos estabelecer com a Arte.
O trabalho docente e o trabalho do artista: intersecções entre arte, estética e mercado na contemporaneidade
Authors: Anversa Priscila , Hillesheim Giovana Bianca Darolt
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo correlaciona arte, estética e mercado, investigando como as transformações nesta relação repercutem no ensino de arte e no trabalho docente. O objetivo é evidenciar as estratégias do capitalismo na construção de consenso, sendo uma destas estratégias o apagamento da especificidade da arte, de modo promover sua indissociabilidade com o trabalho humano. A pesquisa reitera a essência das relações e de produção de mais-valor a partir dos fundamentos do materialismo histórico-dialético e assinala a tomada de consciência teórica como pressuposto para a fruição estética, valorizando o conhecimento artístico como fundamental nas realizações humanas. A abordagem metodológica parte da análise de estudos bibliográficos, evidenciando como o desvelamento da correlação entre os campos implica em ganho interpretativo na leitura da realidade e seus desdobramentos.

An open-source tool for automated analysis of breathing behaviors in common marmosets and rodents
Authors: Bishop Mitchell , Weinhold Maximilian , Turk Ariana Z , Adeck Afuh , SheikhBahaei Shahriar
Published: January 2022

The respiratory system maintains homeostatic levels of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the body through rapid and efficient regulation of breathing frequency and depth (tidal volume). The commonly used methods of analyzing breathing data in behaving experimental animals are usually subjective, laborious, and time-consuming. To overcome these hurdles, we optimized an analysis toolkit for the unsupervised study of respiratory activities in animal subjects. Using this tool, we analyzed breathing behaviors of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), a New World non-human primate model. Using whole-body plethysmography in room air as well as acute hypoxic (10% O2) and hypercapnic (6% CO2) conditions, we describe breathing behaviors in awake, freely behaving marmosets. Our data indicate that marmosets’ exposure to acute hypoxia decreased metabolic rate and increased sigh rate. However, the hypoxic condition did not augment ventilation. Hypercapnia, on the other hand, increased both the frequency and depth (i.e., tidal volume) of breathing.
Consequences
Authors: O’Rourke Lindsey A.
Published: January 2022

This chapter asks how America's covert interventions influenced the quality of relations between Washington and the target states. Contrary to the expectations of policymakers, the chapter shows that the United States was more likely to experience militarized interstate disputes with the states that they targeted for covert regime change compared to similar countries where they never intervened. Covert interventions also appeared to harm Washington's relationship with the target state at lower levels of cooperation. The chapter thus introduces several models that use the statistical data preprocessing method of matching to compare the cases where the United States intervened to a set of similar cases where it did not intervene, but which showed a similar propensity for conflict, to confirm that a breakdown in relations was a result of the intervention. It then explores the impact of covert interventions on the targeted states by analyzing the target state's subsequent levels of democratization, civil war, adverse regime changes, and episodes of mass killing compared to similarly matched samples of cases.
Containment, Coup d’État, and the Covert War in Vietnam
Authors: O’Rourke Lindsey A.
Published: January 2022

This chapter investigates how and why presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson escalated America's role in Vietnam and the role that America's covert operations in North and South Vietnam between 1954 and 1964 played in that process. It argues that U.S. leaders launched these operations in an effort to pave the way for an honorable withdrawal from the region. Paradoxically, however, the missions had precisely the opposite effect of their intentions. To explore this situation further, the chapter proceeds in four parts. First comes a discussion of case selection and alternative explanations. Next is an analysis of the emergence of the containment strategy in Southeast Asia and America's escalating involvement in Vietnam. The third details how top-level U.S. policymakers debated launching regime changes against North and South Vietnam at five key points between 1954 and 1963. Finally, the chapter concludes by investigating why policymakers preferred to conduct these operations covertly and why the United States later limited its efforts to overthrow Ho Chi Minh.
Covert Regime Change after the Cold War
Authors: O’Rourke Lindsey A.
Published: January 2022

This chapter briefly discusses the state of America's attempts at covert regime changes during the Cold War, before turning to the state of covert operations in the post-Cold War era. It shows that the vast majority of America's covert and overt regime changes during the Cold War did not work out as their planners intended. Washington launched these regime changes to resolve security-oriented interstate disputes by installing foreign leaders with similar policy preferences. American experiences during the Cold War, however, illustrate that this was often quite difficult in practice. And yet, as the chapter reveals, the end of the Cold War did not mean the end of America's aggressive pursuit of regime change. In the twenty-seven years since the fall of the Soviet Union, Washington has continued to habitually intervene both covertly and overtly throughout the world. Although U.S. policymakers' appetite for regime change has not diminished, America's post-Cold War interventions have taken on new forms.
Introduction
Authors: Harris Carissa M.
Published: January 2022

This chapter seeks to uncover a usable past in the literature of premodern England and Scotland that can help us understand current cultural discourses and lived realities with greater perspicacity. It analyses these medieval texts with an acute awareness of how the histories of various inequalities, including race and class, contribute directly to women's contemporary experiences of violence. The chapter then shifts to investigate the capacity of obscenity to educate and change minds in order to understand its meanings in the later Middle Ages and to uncover its present-day implications. Starting with an examination of obscenity's role in authorizing masculine aggression and fostering misogyny before turning to explore its potential for facilitating sexual negotiation and encouraging empathy for rape survivors, the chapter investigates how medieval lyric voices mobilize the obscene to teach their peers about violence, power, and desire.
Songs of Wantonness
Authors: Harris Carissa M.
Published: January 2022

This chapter investigates how scribal practices in sixteenth-century lyric miscellanies can incite audiences' empathy for educational purposes. It focuses on the potential for educative empathy in two sixteenth-century manuscript anthologies of early Tudor court songs, the Ritson Manuscript and MS Ashmole 176. The chapter argues that we can claim these lyrics as part of an “affective inheritance” of gendered struggle that persists to this day. They depict the first-person experiences of rape survivors and victims of exploitation in vivid, unflinching detail, encouraging audiences to identify with their perspectives, acknowledge them as sexual subjects, and understand how structural inequalities manifest in individual harms. Like the pastourelles in the Welles Anthology, these “songs of wantonness” both illuminate and are inflected by the courtly complaints surrounding them. By staging these contrasting perspectives and mobilizing obscenity's educative potential, the anthologies in the chapter explore the power dynamics in erotic relationships and probe how those dynamics are shaped by physical space, bodily difference, and intersectional disadvantage.
St. Maximus the Confessor's "Questions and Doubts"
Authors: Prassas Despina D.
Published: January 2022

This translation of the Quaestiones et Dubia presents for the first time in English one of the Confessor's most significant contributions to early Christian biblical interpretation. Maximus the Confessor (580–662) was a monk whose writings focused on ascetical interpretations of biblical and patristic works. For his refusal to accept the Monothelite position supported by Emperor Constans II, he was tried as a heretic, his right hand was cut off, and his tongue was cut out. In his work, Maximus the Confessor brings together the patristic exegetical aporiai tradition and the spiritual-pedagogical tradition of monastic questions and responses. The overarching theme is the importance of the ascetical life. For Maximus, askesis is a lifelong endeavor that consists of the struggle and discipline to maintain control over the passions. One engages in the ascetical life by taking part in both theoria (contemplation) and praxis (action). To convey this teaching, Maximus uses a number of pedagogical tools including allegory, etymology, number symbolism, and military terminology. A rich historical and contextual background is provided in the introduction to help ground and familiarize the reader with this work.
