Deserted
Authors: Bayne Brandon L.
Published: January 2022

Alongside the celebration of “red” martyrs who died in hatred of the faith, Jesuits also cultivated “white” martyrdoms of prolonged suffering. Red, or “wet,” martyrs had planted the seed with their bodies and watered it with their blood. However, countless others never had that opportunity. These remaining priests wrestled with more quotidian struggles like travel, hunger, climate, language, homesickness, solitude, and sickness. For them, the notion that everyday ordeals constituted a separate, but equally valid, form of martyrdom became a compelling way of reconciling with failures. In eighteenth-century California and Sonora, Jesuits increasingly emphasized their physical and psychological desolation. Whereas previous priests had uprooted weeds of idolatry in direct confrontations with shamans or seen abundant harvests of conversion spring from dramatic deaths, these mostly German Jesuits imagined themselves in desert isolation without much to show for their labors. Distant from their homes and disenchanted with the prospect of lasting conversions, they turned to earlier Christian idioms of spiritual desolation as they sought consolation in the belief that with enough sweat and tears even those deserts would one day bloom.
Uprooted

The 1767 expulsion of the Jesuits from the Spanish empire came late for the missionaries in north-western New Spain. While it came later, it was particularly brutal, extending to nearly two years of imprisonment and forced marches in Mexico, and several more years lingering in places of exile throughout Europe. Out of the 51 missionaries expelled from Sinaloa, Sonora, and California, 21 died en route to exile. Ultimately, the entire order was formally suppressed by the Papacy in 1773. Altogether, the expulsion, exile, and suppression signified the death of a Jesuit identity as a global missionary order, a self-image constructed in over two centuries of work. At a loss for how to reconstitute their lives and maintain bonds to the wider community of fellow evangelists and converts, the former members of the Society looked to the suffering of Jesus, for whom they had once been named. As they had since the beginning of their work, they translated their exile into martyrological terms, trusting that their defeats carried redemptive meaning and interpreted their collective martyrdom as the full culmination of their sacrificial identity that had finally secured Indigenous salvation.
Simonides, Part 3
Authors: Berger Harry
Published: January 2022

This chapter concentrates on how Socrates dominates the exchange in divisions three through five, first devoting his posture—ironically or not—to rhemata nostalgic of the “superior wisdom” of Sparta, moving toward unwarranted sophistic logic himself, and then introducing a new metaphor of “good” doctors, re-evaluating Rosamund Sprague’s gloss of the doctor’s eumechania.
The Parts of Gold and the Parts of Face
Authors: Berger Harry
Published: January 2022

Whereas Chapter 7 focuses on a recurring trend in how Protagoras prevaricates, this chapter micro-analyzes one specific rhetorical avoidance: if Protagoras believes that good is divided into different parts, Socrates forces him to choose between which kind of division it most resembles, division between parts of the face or parts of a substance (gold). The chapter deals with Protagoras’s choice: its logical issues, ideas of saving face, and the performance of wearing a mask. The choice of gold, not taken, implicitly offers some insight into the substantial uniformity of the many agents at work in the dialogue, that Plato’s Socrates, Socrates’s Simonides, Protagoras’s Simonides, Socrates’s Protagoras, etc., begin to lose boundaries.
Crisscrossing Concepts
Authors: Das Veena
Published: January 2022

Through a close examination of two classical tests in the anthropology of religion, this chapter proposes that instead of positing a hierarchical relation between vernacular concepts and anthropological ones, looking at the crisscrossing and overlap among these concepts, allows us to see the way we live with concepts rather than treating them as neutral intellectual tools.
“Treating Not the Illness, but the Patient”
Authors: Chudakova Tatiana
Published: January 2022

Chapter four follows Tibetan medicine into the clinic. It tracks patients and practitioners’ strategies of managing health in a clinical space that offers a mixture of therapeutic interventions and leaves the body radically open-ended. Here, Tibetan medicine is made to align with older rationales of Soviet-era biomedicine about health being the direct condensation of detrimental and beneficial environmental exposures, and the ailing body becomes narrated as an accumulation of collective pathogenic time, which these treatment regimes aim to redress or revert. Tracking how patients and doctors negotiate this sutured therapeutic orientation, this chapter also attends to the toggling between individualized care and apprehensions of embodied collectivity.
Judgment on the Cross
Authors: Ralston Joshua
Published: January 2022

Muslims across the centuries have challenged the historicity of Jesus’s death, rejected its salvific meaning, mocked its metaphysical implications, and questioned the propriety of its ubiquitous presence in churches, liturgy, and ritual. This chapter explores two Muslim critics of the atonement: ‘Alī al-Ṭabarī’s critique of incarnational accounts of the atonement and Isma’il Ragi al-Faruqi’s argument against substitutionary atonement. The chapter shows how key ideas from the Islamic traditions about God’s free mercy, the individual’s responsibility for their own moral actions, and the eschatological nature of salvation are leveraged to challenge Christian claims that redemption has already been accomplished in and through Jesus. In response to these challenges, the chapter presents a scriptural and comparative theological argument for shifting the primary theological focus of the atonement from the cross to the resurrection. The chapter argues that placing the primary weight of a theology of the atonement on the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth from the dead entails a vindication of Jesus’s life and mission, a rejection of injustice, and serves as an eschatological promise for all who suffer. The resurrection provides a comparative framework within which Muslim concerns around propitiation, morality, and eschatology might be re-thought and addressed by Christian theology.
How Empty Is the Cross?
Authors: Heim S. Mark
Published: January 2022

This essay explores the extent to which the cross and Christ’s redemptive suffering in it are paradigmatic for Christian life. It does so though a comparative consideration of the bodhisattva path and the Christ/disciple path. Sympathetic Buddhist readings of the cross suggest three different kinds of emptiness are in play: no-self emptiness, Buddha nature emptiness, and conventional or samsaric emptiness. Reflection on these, and comparison and contrast with their role in the bodhisattva path, deepen a Christian theological understanding of the respects in which the cross is an exemplary realization and the respects in which its non-exemplary character is crucial to its salvific role.
Anarchy and the Kingdom of God
Authors: Džalto Davor
Published: January 2022

Anarchy and the Kingdom of God presents the reader with a unique critique of both traditional and contemporary political theologies that have rationalized and justified power structures and oppression of various kinds. The book advances an “anarchist” theological approach to the socio-political sphere, which is based on some of the basic presuppositions of Orthodox Christian anthropology and metaphysics. Developing a coherent critique of power structures and oppression, as one of the most prominent forces in human history, Davor Džalto advances human freedom as a foundational theological principle. Building on insights and arguments ranging from New Testament texts and Church Fathers, to modern religious and political thinkers such as Nikolai Berdyaev, Jacques Ellul, and Sheldon Wolin, Džalto contextualizes the political realm as primarily the realm of power, which is rooted in a specific logic of being. This logic, based on self-affirmation and the power dynamics of domination/submission, is confronted here with a different (eschatological) mode of existence based on freedom and love. Developing an “anarchist” political theology, the book offers a method for dealing with a variety of contemporary social and political issues. With a genuine theological approach to the issues of human freedom and power dynamics, the book enables a fresh re-examination of the problem of democracy and justice in the age of global (neoliberal) capitalism.
Introduction
Authors: Džalto Davor
Published: January 2022

In this chapter the author explains that the main goals of the book are to (1) revisit the dominant and traditional (Orthodox) approaches to the sphere of the political, (2) deconstruct them from the point of view of some of the basic elements of the Orthodox Christian faith, and (3) advance an alternative Orthodox theological approach to the socio-political, which would be consistent with Orthodox Christian ontology and anthropology and, on that basis, 4) reflect upon the ways and the extent to which such an approach can be applied in concrete social and political contexts, when dealing with many practical issues.
Eschatology and Liturgy
Authors: Džalto Davor
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores the solutions that Orthodox theology offers to the createdness of our being (as a necessity) and to the individualized mode of existence discussed in the previous chapter. That solution is found in the personal mode of existence, characterized by freedom and love. This mode of existence is affirmed through the liturgy and the Eucharist. However, it can only fully be achieved in the eschaton, not in history.
Walter Burley on Suppositio Materialis
Authors: Kirk Jordan
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines the afterlife of late antique discussions of nonsignification among medieval Oxford logicians, focussing in particular on Walter Burley. It shows how, although their discipline was explicitly founded on a refusal to work with meaningless words, they ended up having to discuss them in connection with the phenomenon of material supposition, or the use of a word to refer to itself as a word (e.g., man is a monosyllable). Burley proposed a strange doctrine according to which the meaningless sound of the bare utterance can appear in a logical proposition; he insisted that the truth of such a proposition can be known and indicated that it provides a kind of mirror in which the mind can encounter itself in its very failure to cognize.
Introduction: The Form of Love Poetry, Philosophy, and the Closeness of Loving Reading
Authors: Kuzner James
Published: January 2022

This introduction shows how The Form of Love joins conversations about whether and how literature in general and poetry in particular can think distinctively. Philosophers, critics, and poets often invoke familiar—and useful—contrasts to distinguish poetry from philosophy: the particular versus the abstract, pleasure versus explanation, form versus matter or truth. Such helpful, if contestable, considerations can remain rather general, and when they do engage concretely with how poems think distinctively, they tend not to give poems the slow regard needed to reveal the full amplitude of how poetic form enables novel conceptions of love. Endeavoring to give John Donne’s “Batter my heart” this kind of attention, the introduction risks what could look like a conservative focus on texts in hopes of revealing what is most radical about those texts. It also outlines a form of loving reading that might be uncritical or anti-critical (or at least postcritical), in hopes of showing how poetry thinks as other forms of thought cannot.
Green Love: Lost in Marvell's “The Garden”
Authors: Kuzner James
Published: January 2022

This chapter reads Marvell’s “The Garden” as a spiritual exercise, one concerned with dwelling in and loving the present. Considering “The Garden” alongside Stoic and Epicurean arguments, the chapter argues that the poem’s first four stanzas concern themselves with delimiting the present, and stanzas five through seven with dilating it in an experience of green love, of a liberating bondage in the garden’s present moment. In particular, stanzas five through seven fuse sequence with simultaneity, creating a poetic eternity in a way unlike both Stoics and Epicureans. Both seek to better live in the present by establishing a consistent and coherent, undivided sense of self, while Marvell creates a well-bounded, joyous present for an astoundingly inconsistent self: one uncommonly passive and yet uncommonly active, sensually embodied and yet hardly embodied at all, deeply withdrawn into himself and yet deeply embedded in the garden that he loves. Such opposed positions ought to, and do, occur successively in everyday life. Yet the poem’s speaker asserts that they occur at once, loving in the present as he lives in it: by being overwhelmed by, by overwhelming, and also by simply dwelling with, what he loves.
Introduction
Authors: MacKendrick Karmen
Published: January 2022

The current interest in materiality within the humanities is often called the material turn. Turning toward materiality has also meant turning away from all sorts of anthropocentrism: the assumptions that humans are uniquely important, knowing, and active in a passive material world; and the assumption that there is a big, powerful, anthropomorphic god running the world. In fact, any theology becomes suspect. Accordingly, the turn seems an odd fit with much of Western religion. The main theme of the book, set forth in this introduction, is that even in Jewish and Christian traditions, where the Big Authority God and centrally superior humans seem most prominent, there are lines of thought that indicate a world that is itself divine, full of divinity, or in the divine image. These are especially developed during periods of lively interchange among faiths and philosophical traditions, particularly late antiquity and the late Middle Ages. Most of these developments occur in textual traditions associated with the figure of Wisdom as creative and sustaining. The introduction previews the chapters to follow, beginning with a discussion of the working of myth and continuing into analyses of three mythic bodies (the primal human, the redeemer, and the risen body).
Adam’s Skin
Authors: MacKendrick Karmen
Published: January 2022

The stories of human creation in the biblical book of Genesis seem to place humanity at the heart of creation, but they can be and have been read in much more interesting ways. On many late ancient and medieval readings of creation, the body of a first human can be hard to tell from the body of everything else in the world, at times including god. This chapter draws on rabbinic, gnostic, and kabbalistic texts. It examines several points in the Jewish and Christian versions of these stories that displace the human from any central position, and often problematize the very notion of a center. These include the stories of a human drawn from the dust of the whole world, with the dust sometimes participating in the decision to create humans; stories of human as microcosm, where the boundaries of the cosmos turn out to be unstable; and stories of the divine light that both illuminates and conceals, sees and is seen, and wraps around and glows within worlds and bodies.
The Ache of Modernism: Theological Aesthetics in Greene’s Nonfiction
Authors: Sampson Martyn
Published: January 2022

Greene can be understood according to the “ache of modernism,” which denotes the rejection of “comforting theistic palliatives.” By opposing the religious and the secular it becomes possible to understand how Greene’s novels are interrogative of their own fictional terms at every level, which constitutes his version of a “theological aesthetics.” In his early literary reviews, Greene rejects any painstaking or overbearing analytical approach to literature. Greene’s approaches to Catholic notions of drama are one way of understanding his approaches to his own work because they oppose and present different aspects of the religious and the secular. Greene’s approaches to nineteenth- and twentieth-century modernities offer a further way of formulating these aspects of Greene’s work.
Conclusion: Where Now?
Authors: Sampson Martyn
Published: January 2022

The Catholic novel questions stable conceptions of genre. Literary texts should be conceived within diverse groups and individuals. Literature prepares readers for the worlds they inhabit and through this act of preparation, Greene opposes a fragmented secularist perspective. Greene is an “uninstructed Catholic” because at every level of his work he declares the continual reconsideration of the conceptual terms in and through which it becomes significant. Compelled, as some readers are, to elicit meaning from notions of form and technique that are sometimes opaque, Greene’s fiction is important to issues of identity and belonging. With Greene as a reader’s best interpretative guide, questions are raised about who and how to be, and how to live.
In False Brothers, Evil Awakens
Authors: Saria Vaibhav
Published: January 2022

This chapter studies the relationship that hijras have with various members of their family, focusing on the fraternal bond as it occupies the Archimedean point or pivot that reveals how hijras calibrate their relationship with the various members of their family in light of the fact they used to be men, but are not anymore. The presence of a hijra within the family, gauged through such things as the anxiety of property transmission and inheritance, calls for reconfiguring the accepted notions of kinship, care, and asceticism that often define anthropological investigations of sexuality.
Hope and Despair in Today’s World
Authors: Puen Stephanie Ann Y.
Published: January 2022

This chapter describes how hope and activism form an important part of the Christian faith commitment, and as Avery Dulles's work shows, such hope and activism entails a dynamic conversion in one's faith commitment. Looking at Dulles's work, it draws out a message of hope that can speak to the situation today, bringing together Dulles's method and work on faith, Church, and society. In response to the hope and despair of the youth for today's socioeconomic and political realities, the chapter highlights three points from Dulles's work. First, Dulles emphasizes that hope is rooted in the Christian faith commitment in Jesus Christ that entails conversion; second, that such a faith commitment supports and is supported by a vision of hope in the Kingdom of God; and third, that such a faith commitment is developed and strengthened within the context of community — that of the Church. The chapter then applies this in particular to the Philippine setting, where hope and despair are particularly felt by the majority Catholic country amid grinding poverty, extrajudicial killings, and worsening living conditions.

The Indian Antarctic station, Maitri is often experiencing continuous blizzard over a week with strong surface winds and surface temperature anomalies due to atmospheric blocking during winter and spring seasons of Antarctica. One such case during the last week of August 2000 and another case in mid-July 1996 are studied. There is more blocking activity in winter and spring months. The influence of blocking high on weather parameters during the study period is also presented.
Decaying characteristics of severe cyclonic storms after landfall over east coast of India
Authors: SINGH CHARAN , BANDYOPADHYAY B. K.
Published: January 2022

Severe tropical cyclones are responsible for large casualties and considerable damage to property and agricultural crop. After the landfall, the main damages from cyclones are due to strong wind. An attempt has been made in this paper to study the nature of decay of wind speed of tropical cyclones after landfall for the period 1990-2003. It is found that the maximum wind speed decreased exponentially after landfall. A severe cyclonic storm decay to cyclonic storm within 6 to 9 hours after landfall where as very severe cyclonic storm decay to severe cyclonic storm within 6 hours and to cyclonic storm within 15 hours after the landfall. The mean decay rate is found to be  0.46 for the  first 6 hours and 0.59 for the subsequent 6 hours.
Contrasting pre-monsoon features associated with early and late onset of southwest monsoon over Kerala
Authors: PATTANAIK D. R. , JAYANTHI N. , MAZUMDAR A. B.
Published: January 2022

Contrasting features pertaining to a year each of early monsoon (2004) and late monsoon onset (2003) are examined during the pre-monsoon season. The weekly evolution of low level winds during the month of May and the monthly features of middle and upper level winds, Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Precipitable water, Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) and mean sea level pressure gradients are analysed during both these years in the present study.

           The result shows that during the early onset year of 2004 the low level wind indicates strong cross equatorial flow with cyclonic flow from the beginning of May associated with negative SST anomaly over the southern Arabian Sea; whereas, during the late onset year of 2003, the low level flow indicates weak cross equatorial flow persisting upto the first week of June associated with positive SST anomaly over the  Arabian Sea. The middle and upper tropospheric flow indicate stronger Tibetan anticyclone during the month of May accompanied by very strong easterly anomalies during the early onset year of 2004 compared to that of late onset year 2003.  The convective activity during May was stronger over the Indian region compared to that over the south China Sea during early onset year of 2004, which is just the opposite during the late onset year 2003.  The precipitable water was higher than normal during May 2004 accompanied by very deep moist layer over the Indian region compared to that of May 2003. The meridional pressure gradient between southern and northern India were stronger than normal during the pre-monsoon months of April and May with earlier reversal of pressure gradients from winter to summer during the early onset year of  2004 compared to that of late onset year of 2003.
Absolute angular momentum generation & its vertical transport in the field of mid-tropospheric cyclones
Authors: BHAGAT D. K. U. R.
Published: January 2022

A  quasi-stationary   synoptic  system  is  usually  seen  on  the  weather  charts   during     southwest monsoon period over the north-east Arabian Sea and adjoining area of Gujarat and north Konkan. The transport of absolute angular momentum, for the atmospheric weather systems, plays a significant role during the southwest monsoon period.

In this paper, the mean absolute angular momentum and its vertical transport associated with MTC have been discussed. The expected accumulation of momentum throughout the troposphere upto 800 km around the centre of MTC has been calculated and displayed. The transport of angular momentum to the underlying surface and momentum loss or gain has also been discussed. Estimates have been made of surface stress by means of angular momentum transferred.

The study reveals that the flux of angular momentum found to be dominated mostly between surface and 500 hPa and the values of shearing stress are positive from the centre of MTC to 500 km.
Extreme rainfall analysis of Andhra Pradesh using a probability distribution model : A regional estimate
Authors: GUHATHAKURTA P. , MENON P. A. , DIKSHIT S. K. , SABLE S. T.
Published: January 2022

The study is an attempt to analyze the extreme rainfall events of Andhra Pradesh, a coastal state of Peninsular India, where both monsoon and post-monsoon seasons contribute significant rain. A network of 155 stations having data of seventy years or more during the period 1901-2000 has been used for the study. These stations are well distributed over the state. One-day, two-day and three-day extreme annual rainfall series are made and the isohyetal analysis demarcates three heavy rainfall receiving zones. Probability distribution functions have been fitted for the regional estimates of climate changes in extreme rainfall series of each station. Both the extreme value distribution viz., Gumbel and log normal distribution fit well with latter one giving slightly better fit over the former. Goodness of fit of the distribution is tested with Kolmogorov - Smirnov Statistic.
Bhartiya upmandalon mein 1987 ke dauran madhyam evam bheeshm sukha ke kshetriya vistar ka vargikaran
Authors: Singh Hari , Prasad Rajendera
Published: January 2022

Based on a simple classification, analysis of aerial spread of moderate and severe drought during monsoon season (June – September) of 1987 has been carried out in 33 sub-divisions of India by using the cumulative weekly rainfall departures from the normal. Weather systems responsible for the activity and failure of monsoon have also been described.  In this year, no weather system developed in the monsoon trough from July to September resulting in a very weak activity of monsoon surge.  This was the main reason which led to large scale severe drought over India during 1987.
                Widespread and fairly widespread severe drought occurred in maximum 35% and 25% sub-division of the country respectively.  Fairly widespread moderate drought appeared in 20% sub-divisions during tenth, fourteenth and fifteenth week.  Widespread severe drought emerged in Saurashtra and Kutch for a continuous longer duration of 16 weeks whereas fairly widespread moderate drought of longest duration of 10 weeks occurred in Kerala.  The number of sub-divisions affected by moderate and severe drought of isolated category exceeded those under scattered, fairly widespread and widespread categories.

Published: January 2022

An attempt has been made to identify the main synoptic features, which are responsible for onset of southwest monsoon over the two met sub divisions east and west Rajasthan for the period 1971-2004 based on modern observational technology and developed forecasting technique in the field of short-range prediction of monsoon surges. The low pressure systems (LPS) originate over Arabian Sea, especially the formation of MTC which indicates a good signature for predicting onset of monsoon, which is the prominent feature for causing onset of summer monsoon over Rajasthan. In addition LPSs form over Bay of Bengal moved in west to northwestwards direction and reach over Rajasthan and its neighbourhood region as a lopar or an upper air cycir, also brings monsoon over Rajasthan.

Meaningful Relationships: Cruxes of University-Community Partnerships for Sustainable and Happy Engagement
Authors: Stewart Trae , Alrutz Megan
Published: January 2022

The authors draw on organizational theory’s use of the metaphor as a way of understanding and explaining sustainable university/community-engaged partnerships. Working from the premise that transformative and reciprocal relationships prove essential to pedagogies of engagement, specifically service-learning, this essay argues that pursuing and maintaining meaningful partnerships between universities and communities or organizations in many ways parallels our efforts to sustain healthy romantic relationships. Through a description and analysis of 10 cruxes for sustaining long-term, healthy relationships, the authors offer a model for achieving intentional, ongoing, and systemic campus-community partnerships.
A Five-Step Model for “Unconventional Engagement”
Authors: Daniels George
Published: January 2022

Why subject third graders to the scrutiny of scholars at an academic conference? As one example of “unconventional engagement,” The Oakdale Eagle, a newsletter established in 2011 as a result of a partnership initiated by a local elementary school, demonstrates the value of higher education responding to a call from the community. Not associated with a service-learning class or academic research but involving college students and faculty from The University of Alabama and Stillman College, this partnership exemplified the power of volunteerism and community service. The highlight occurred when third graders, who were among the first to write stories for The Oakdale Eagle, made a presentation at the 2012 National Outreach Scholarship Conference in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In addition to contrasting conventional and unconventional community engagement, this article charts the five steps in a unique community-initiated partnership.

Using Garden-Based Service-Learning to Work Toward Food Justice, Better Educate Students, and Strengthen Campus-Community Ties
Authors: Aftandilian David , Dart Lyn
Published: January 2022

In this article, we present several approaches for using garden-based service-learning to work toward food justice, better educate undergraduate students, and strengthen campus-community ties. We begin by introducing several key concepts related to food justice, community gardens as a strategy for strengthening food security and community development, and service-learning as a pedagogical tool for educating students about social justice, civic engagement, and personal responsibility for positive social change. We then discuss three of our service-learning projects in depth from an interdisciplinary perspective: the Fairmount Community Garden, the North Side Garden Survey, and the Como Community Garden. We evaluate the success of our approaches using multiple measures and identify the benefits our approaches have provided for undergraduates, community partners, communities served by the gardens, educators, and our university. We also discuss lessons we have learned, offer suggestions for best practices to follow in developing future garden-based service-learning projects, and compare and contrast our pedagogy with that of critical service-learning.
TRAVEL AND TOURISM COMPETITIVENESS INDEX 2019 –QUANTILE REGRESSION APPROACH ON 2nd SUB-INDEX
Authors: Litavcová Eva , Síč Juraj
Published: January 2022

The aim of the paper is to examine how much four pillars of the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) sub-index “T&T Policy and Enabling Conditions” contribute to the overall TTCI and ranking among 140 countries. To meet the goal, quantile regression has been used. Several findings were obtained by analysis. The first result shows that pillar Price Competitiveness has almost no effect on the overall TTCI score or TTCI rank in the considered model. Second, the most important pillars are Prioritization of Travel and Tourism and International Openness. Third, a comparison of the results of the multiple quantile regression analysis with the ordinary least squares showed that the results of the above methods differ significantly for Pillar Environmental Sustainability. On the lower quantile levels, this pillar does not significantly affect the ranking while at higher quantile levels it does. On the contrary, it affects the overall TTCI score in the opposite way. Another reason for using quantile regression is justified by the restrictive assumptions of OLS that it does not require. This paper contributes to the existing literature connected with tourism competitiveness. It can help reveal hidden multidimensional relationships between variables considered at different quantile levels, and thus can be a motivation for further improving the methods used to create the index.

Penegakan Hukum Mahar Politik dalam Pilpres 2019 Ditinjau dari Politik Hukum Pidana
Authors: Hafid Irwan , Prasetyo Nugroho Dendy
Published: January 2022

The issue of political dowry, relatively, becomes a sustainable warning of problems in every general election in Indonesia. Such as the issue of Sandiaga Uno, who provided political dowry in the 2019 presidential election. The allegation was started by the Deputy of General-secretary of the Party of Democrat, Andi Arief, who stated that Sandiaga Uno had provided 500 billion rupiahs to PAN and PKS respectively so that those two parties would support him to nominate as the Candidate of Vice President for Prabowo Subianto. Political dowry has been a serious issue and almost constantly becomes an interesting topic to be reported and studied in every general election. Although it is popular, the issue of political dowry is a case that is relatively difficult to prove its truth (court decisions). In fact, explicitly, political dowry has been regulated in Article 228 on Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning the General Election (Election Law). However, it does not expressly provide a deterrent effect to the political dowry actors. This reality becomes the basis of encouragement in conducting this research. The theory used in this research is legal politics and law enforcement. While the method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and comparative approach. The output of this paper is that the handling of political dowry cases in the presidential election needs a serious concern. And then, the regulation on sanctions, which still be administrative in nature, against the actors of political dowry in the Election Law is considered to be inappropriate. So that criminal policy is needed to strengthen the law enforcement and strict legal instruments against criminal acts of political dowry in the future election (ius constituendum).
Do Quit your Day Job

The chapter discusses Zelazny’s career from 1969 to 1971, the period that marks his transition into full-time writing, primarily novels. The chapter concentrates on the novels Isle of the Dead, Creatures of Light and Darkness, Nine Princes in Amber, and Jack of Shadows. It argues that Isle shows Zelazny’s increasing control over the craft of the novel while connecting strongly with issues of the author’s day, especially environmentalism; that Creatures marks an apotheosis of Zelazny’s fascination with mythology and experimental narrative techniques; that Princes, although his most traditional fantasy novel to date, still plays with genre expectations through its cynical, hardboiled narrator; and that the even more straightforward narrative of Jack of Shadows marks a transition to the more commercial novels of the 1970s.
From Amateurism to Professionalism
Authors: Cervin Georgia
Published: January 2022

Chapter 2 argues that Olympic economic policy was a place of challenge in Cold War gymnastics, rather than cooperation, with opposing views extending from fans and media to differences between the Federation internationale de gymnastique (FIG) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Amateurism was a major issue for the IOC under Avery Brundage’s presidency, forbidding athletes any financial benefit from sport. State support rendered the amateur status of Eastern bloc gymnasts questionable. For US gymnasts, the amateur rule contributed to the decreased age of their best women, despite opportunities in collegiate gymnastics. Changed economic prospects coincided with the rise of US gymnastics. By the 1970s, the Olympics were commercializing, with Adidas branding appearing on leotards. By the 1980s, the games were professionalizing, as athletes advertised products and launched entertainment careers. But the FIG remained opposed to professionalization, leading to financial trouble in the 1990s and increasing its dependence on the IOC.
Conclusion
Authors: Cervin Georgia
Published: January 2022

This concluding chapter brings together the diverse themes covered throughout the book, showing how the impact of the Cold War on gymnastics is still being felt today. It also demonstrates the links between the issues traversed in earlier chapters of this book, from economic policy, to the structure of the international sports system, cheating, coaching, abuse, and incarnations of femininity. This chapter concludes that all of these influences on gymnastics are the result of international conflict, as one would expect from the Cold War, but also a result of collaboration. However, collaboration has seldom characterized the relationship between coaches and gymnasts. Despite the balance of power internationally, the sport has been hampered by a fundamental imbalance between athletes and officials. Traversing existing mechanisms that could be used to combat abuse, including an increased minimum age rule, it argues that gymnastics’ needs to look back to its feminist roots to restore the sport as safe and empowering for women.
Postcolonial Bodies, Modern Postures
Authors: Villegas Mark R.
Published: January 2022

This chapter scrutinizes Filipino American hip hop dancers’ multiple and contradictory posturing of “modern.” Filipino American hip hop dance culture both criticizes and acquiesces to modes of modern visibility and acceptability. These dancers embody racial power relations exceeding the determinations of liberal multiculturalism, seen recently in the triumphant spectacle of Asian American dancers. Specifically, remembering Filipino American hip hop vernacular dance culture as a continuation of a long-standing and intimate engagement with the United States instead of an inauguration into it narrates the terms of modern Filipino American dance embodiment as structured vertically by colonial power. Furthermore, Filipino American hip hop dancers re-author ethnicity, sexuality, and gender in hip hop culture by unsettling traditional-versus-modern binaries, alternative forms of community connectivity, and queer embodiments.

The conclusion reviews the labor involved in memory making. Museums and curated civic spaces have been laboring to preserve hip hop histories that seem to be prone to forgetting. The labor specific to this book are the diverse forms of Filipino Americans’ hip hop cultural productions that continue a legacy of Filipino memory making and self-authoring. The special moment of intense Filipino American hip hop cultural production has come and gone, but a new generation of Filipino Americans is emerging. This section focuses on the work of Ruby Ibarra, who collaborations are intergenerational and bring important feminist politics to a Filipino American hip hop vernacular. The conclusion also discusses connections of hip hop and the Filipino food movement and proposes areas of future research.
Visual News in the Early Twentieth Century
Authors: Finnegan Cara A.
Published: January 2022

Photography in the early twentieth century was marked by the rise of photo agencies designed to circulate news photographs widely, the publication of photo-heavy sections in newspapers and magazines, and the increasing professionalization of photojournalism. This chapter studies how these changes affected the ways that presidents such as Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Calvin Coolidge engaged with the changing medium.
Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, and the Candid Camera
Authors: Finnegan Cara A.
Published: January 2022

Candid camera photography appeared in the late 1920s, made possible by smaller, more portable cameras capable of producing intimate photographs of seemingly unguarded subjects. So-called miniature cameras transformed the ways that photography depicted political leadership and deliberation. This chapter analyzes how Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt reckoned with the candid camera’s ways of picturing politics. When photographed by pioneering candid camera photographer Erich Salomon, Hoover failed to properly perform the candid camera’s new visual values of access, intimacy, and energy. Roosevelt sought to control the impact of the candid camera on his political image in part by limiting the visibility of his disability.

Montage of Madness
Authors: Wright Jonathan , Barrett Dawson
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines the growing Peoria music scene of the late 1980s, which primarily relied on renting out American Legion, VFW, and other banquet halls. These types of DIY shows required young people to take responsibility for promotion and security, and they relied on often-fragile relationships with hall proprietors. In the meantime, the Peoria scene grew steadily, spawning bands across an increasing range of genres. Among others, the chapter discusses Leviathan, a heavy metal band whose drummer was later in the famed metal band Mudvayne, and introduces Dollface, the most prominent Peoria band of the “alternative” rock era.
Whiteness, Transformative Bodies, and the Queer Dominicanidad of Rita Indiana
Authors: Quinn Rachel Afi
Published: January 2022

Writer, artist, and musician Rita Indiana Hernández presents as gender ambiguous and masculine in her work in ways that challenge Dominican cultural norms. This chapter considers how she capitalizes on these ambiguities in her significant visual responses to this transnational moment. Her samplings of cultural referents function, as she herself has noted, is like a Surrealist’s collection of found objects. This chapter critiques the artist’s appropriation of Haitian and African American cultural referents, naming her performance in the music video “Da pa’ lo do’” as blackface, and identifying elsewhere her use of Blaxploitation aesthetics in an exploration of how Dominican whiteness works. Rita Indiana’s proximity to whiteness, this chapter argues, makes it possible for her to present queerness, Blackness, and female masculinity to a wide audience and be cast as innovative and consumable.
Origin Stories
Authors: Stacy Jason
Published: January 2022

Chapter 1 explores the nineteenth-century myth of the New England village. Fueled by middle-class ambivalence toward the growth of American cities and changes in the economy during the generation before the Civil War, popular newspapers like the New York Herald; authors and poets like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman; historians like Joel Parker; landscape architects like A. J. Downing; and popular preachers like Henry Ward Beecher constructed a nostalgic vision of rural life where the New England countryside served as a repository of eternal American values. In the aftermath of the Civil War, this myth became especially prevalent as the founding of New England displaced the Virginia Colony as the mythological site of the nation’s birth.
