Nihilism
Authors: Richardson John 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The seventh chapter turns to the culmination that Nietzsche thinks human values are now arriving at, in which they expose the truth about themselves and so undermine themselves. This loss of values is one of two things he calls “nihilism”; the other is morality itself, insofar as it is ascetic or “anti-life.” We examine this critique Nietzsche weaves into his genealogy of morality, focusing on his attacks on pity and equality as key moral values. However this critique applies also to the will to truth now diagnosing morality, so that this will seems also to undermine itself. We weigh just how damning Nietzsche takes this critique of the truth-aim—as ascetic or anti-life—to be. The chapter begins to argue that the upshot is not to demote this will to truth, but to revise the kind of truth at which it aims: it should be a truth “by perspectives about perspectives.”
Freedom
Authors: Richardson John 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The eighth chapter shows why Nietzsche’s diagnosis of the will to truth as ascetic doesn’t lead him to reject that will: he sees it as the path to better values. Nor are his critiques of science—here reviewed—in the end dismissive of it. He thinks he brings the sciences of history and psychology to a maturity in which they can explain the most important fact about us, the character of our values; we analyze his new conceptions of these sciences. By exposing the functions in our values, we can begin to free ourselves from the forces that have all along controlled us through these values. We find, through this truth about morality, a more genuine freedom than Kant found within morality. Those sciences give us the truth about freedom itself, in a genealogy of it as an evolving practice. Nietzsche offers his freedom-through-genealogy as an advance in this development.
Creating
Authors: Richardson John 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The eleventh chapter turns to the social or political ambitions Nietzsche has for his ideas. He doesn’t only want to show exceptional individuals how to “create” values for themselves. He also wants to “found” his values as norms for a new society—a new kind of herd. He wants this despite his frequently expressed disdain for herds, and stress on breaking from them. Humanity’s experience with nihilism can teach it to improve the norms that structure societies. Nietzsche anticipates healthier, de-moralized norms that will spread through the herd as much of his honesty in valuing as possible. The new herd can sustain this honesty by recognizing the rank-order of values, previously antithetical to herds. This herd will see the high rank its honesty gives it—how its norms are higher than those of the old morality. These hopes for new norms are the gist to Nietzsche’s (very abstract) “political philosophy.”
Shuffling On
Authors: Carlin Richard , Bloom Ken 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This chapter discusses the aftermath of the success of Shuffle Along; Eubie’s ten-year relationship with lead actress Lottie Gee and the strains it put on his marriage and his partnership with Sissle; and the first touring companies. It also describes how Josephine Baker joined the main company in Boston and made a success as a comic chorus girl and the troupe’s grand reception in Chicago after their successful Boston run. Furthermore, the chapter examines white critics’ discomfort with the success enjoyed by the show’s writers and their concerns about black actors breaking from stereotypical roles; Blake’s triumphant return to Baltimore and his mother’s continuing disapproval of his secular career; Sissle and Blake’s recordings for Victor Records; growing tensions with Miller and Lyles that led to a breakup of their partnership; and how Sissle and Blake’s next show, In Bamville, hit the road to mixed receptions.
Lean Times to Revival
Authors: Carlin Richard , Bloom Ken 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This chapter explores the beginnings of the rediscovery of early jazz and blues musicians by a dedicated band of collector/scholars; Rudi Blesh and Harriet Jans’s research on early ragtime that led them to Eubie; Blake’s partnership with Flournoy Miller to write Hit the Stride (not produced) and Brown Skin Models of 1955, staged as a touring show by Miller’s brother Irvin; and Flournoy Miller and Noble Sissle’s continuing attempts to revive the original Shuffle Along. The chapter also examines the ragtime revival that led to Blake recording two albums for 20th Century Fox with a small Dixieland jazz-flavored ensemble; his appearance at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival; and how he met ragtime revivalist Bob Darch, leading to a few appearances and a mid-1960s recording. Finally, the chapter discusses John Hammond’s interest in recording Blake and how the recording and success of The Eighty-Six Years of Eubie Blake kick-started Eubie’s late career.
Final Years
Authors: Carlin Richard , Bloom Ken 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The final chapter examines Eubie’s revived career on stage and record in the 1970s and 1980s. Furthermore, the chapter discusses key figures who played a role in promoting his career, including historian Robert Kimball; composer/pianist William Bolcom and his wife, singer Joan Morris; recording engineer Carl Seltzer, who partnered with Eubie in forming Eubie Blake Music (Eubie’s record label and publishing company); and lawyer Elliot Hoffman, who championed and protected Blake’s work. The chapter also explores the impact of the mental decline and deaths of Noble Sissle and Andy Razaf on Eubie; Julianne Boyd’s production of a new musical review, Eubie!, which brought his return to Broadway; the show’s development and casting, including bringing Maurice and Gregory Hines to Broadway and their subsequent success; and difficulties dealing with the show’s producer, Ashton Springer. Finally, the chapter relates Eubie’s complex feelings about racism; his work with two biographers, African American journalist Lawrence Carter and jazz writer Al Rose; Rose’s fights with Elliot Hoffman over the writing and publication of his biography; late accolades; and Eubie’s final performances and death.
To Thine Own Self Be True? Integrity and Concern for Truth
Authors: Scherkoske Greg 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Most accounts of integrity in the philosophical literature see the virtue as having little to do with truth. At most, typically, one sort of integrity—intellectual integrity—is supposed to exhibit a close connection with truth seeking; a concern for truth is (nearly) absent from other sorts of integrity (e.g., personal integrity, professional integrity, artistic integrity, etc.). This is puzzling, not least because of long-standing connections between integrity, honesty, and sincerity. Against these accounts, I argue that integrity is best understood as a complex character trait that concerns a person’s relation to her own judgment. Understood this way, the proper concern for one’s judgment that is characteristic of the person of integrity essentially involves responsiveness to facts and evidence and a concern for truth. I close by considering advantages of this account.
Honesty as Ethical Communicative Practice
Authors: Fritz Janie Harden 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Honesty is a central concept in interpersonal communication ethics, typically studied through the lens of self-disclosure in close relationships. Expanding the self-disclosure construct to encompass multiple types of messages occurring in public and private relationships offers additional insights. Across relational contexts, at least two aspects of human communication are relevant to honesty: the content dimension, which references factual information carried by a message; and the relationship dimension, which provides the implied stance or attitude toward the other and/or the relationship. This dimension provides interpretive nuance for the content dimension, its implications for honesty shaped by culture and context. This chapter considers five themes relevant to communication research—self-disclosure and restraint, Grice’s theory of conversational implicature, message design logic, communication competence, and civility, authority, and love—and explore the implications of each content area for honesty in human relationships.
Justifications as a Threat to Honesty
Authors: Leib Margarita , Shalvi Shaul 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
People often face tempting situations in which they can secure profit in dishonest ways. Here we survey a variety of justification processes that free people to engage in dishonesty. We distinguish two main categories: (1) self-serving justifications, in which one justifies one’s actions by processing information in a self-benefiting way; and (2) socially motivated justifications, in which one justifies unethical acts by reference to an additional, socially beneficial factor. We close with a discussion of the ethical hazard of corrupt collaboration (i.e., joint unethical acts). Corrupt collaboration is a major challenge to institutions and societies as it places individuals in a dilemma: collaborate with peers or follow ethical rules of conduct. Recent work suggests that in such situations, people prefer collaboration over honesty. We discuss the dynamics of corrupt collaboration, the ways in which these toxic relationships emerge and spread, and how we can curb such behavior and encourage honest, ethical conduct.
Developing Truth Seekers
Authors: Dow Philip E. 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This chapter argues that because truth is both innately valuable and directly connected to human flourishing, the development of truth seekers within the context of formal K–12 education should be a principal aim of a healthy society. It is further argued that while the fruits of truth are profoundly satisfying, truth seeking is neither easy, nor natural, nor widespread. To develop the sort of truth seeking needed to support both individual growth and human progress, we need a truth-centered vision for education—a vision that aims to develop in students the deeply rooted and virtuous traits of intellectual character that flow from a love for truth and produce the kind of intellectual and moral goods that result in human flourishing.
The Role of Leadership
Authors: Barno David , Bensahel Nora 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This chapter explores the role of leadership in military adaptation, which may be the most important factor of all. Adaptable tactical leaders must rapidly assess the battlefield and identify the need for change, remain willing to abandon accepted procedures when required, and candidly advocate for organizational change when needed. At the theater level, adaptive leaders face more challenges in identifying the need for change. They need to actively seek out ideas from throughout the chain of command, and to lead rapid battlefield change within their formations. The chapter examines the successful tactical adaptability of Captain John Abizaid during the 1983 invasion of Grenada and the failed tactical adaptability of Lieutenant Colonel Robert McDade in 1965 during the Vietnam War. It also examines the successful theater adaptability of Field Marshall William Slim during the Burma campaign of World War II, and the failed theater adaptability of General William Westmoreland in Vietnam War.
The Challenges of Future War
Authors: Barno David , Bensahel Nora 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This chapter argues that it will be increasingly difficult for the US military to predict and adapt to the character of its future conflicts, because of growing strategic uncertainty, the addition of two new domains of warfare (outer space and cyberspace), and the scale and increasing speed of change. The gap between predicted wars and actual wars—what the authors call the adaptation gap—is likely to continue to grow. The adaptability that the US military will need to bridge that growing gap will become ever more important, even as it becomes ever more difficult.
Improving Adaptability in the US Military
Authors: Barno David , Bensahel Nora 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
In this final chapter, the authors recommend ways to improve the adaptability of the US military so it is prepared to prevail in the wars of the 21st century. To improve adaptability in doctrine, the recommendations include adopting adaptation as a principle of war, integrating free play in training exercises, and training under sustained analog conditions. To improve adaptability in technology, the recommendations include strengthening rapid-adaptation organizations, chartering a rapid-adaptation skunkworks, and sponsoring an annual rapid-adaptation competition. To improve adaptability in leadership, the recommendations include evaluating adaptability in annual fitness reports, strengthening mission command, reforming professional military education, and sending more officers to advanced civil schooling. The authors also recommend that the Department of Defense expand its focus on talent management, getting younger voices in front of senior leaders, increasing the role of combatant commanders in ensuring adaptability, and chartering a Defense Adaptation Board.
Quality and Class or Malls and Music Video
Authors: Kessler Kelly 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
With network musical castoffs like Fame and The Muppet Show hitting it big in syndication and viewers defecting to public TV, the eighties proved challenging for ABC, CBS, and NBC. Simultaneously, viewers lucky enough to live in early-served cable markets could circumvent the networks altogether. Seeing the writing on the wall, the networks jumped into the cable arena with a string of niche performing arts channels, with CBS Cable, Alpha Repertory Theatre Service (ARTS), and The Entertainment Channel (TEC) providing viewers a new cache of musical programming. The resultant interplay between television’s heavy hitters, video distributors, and Broadway royalty like the Nederlanders highlights this as a time of high stakes for various forms of musical entertainment. That said, it was MTV and its embrace of teens and the music video tie-ins of popular dance films like Footloose and Flashdance that won the battle for the cable-based musical market.
Booms
Authors: Maree Claire 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to this book’s central argument that speech and/or writing produced by queerqueen personalities is ventriloquilized and entextualized by transcribers, ghost writers, editors, and/or producers through language-labor practices. The chapter traces the recycling of the visual and sonic image of the queerqueen figure in contemporary popular culture from the 1950s. It proposes that, though processes of mass commodification, the trope of the (sometimes) cross-dressing (sometimes) cross-speaking queerqueen has been recycled in print, audiovisual, and digital media through recurring cultural “booms.” These “booms” position queerqueen speech as a new phenomenon and shape the commodification of it within the historical and cultural context that forms the background to Japanese popular cultural productions. This chapter outlines how one can trace the entextualization of “queer linguistic excess” and its containment through analysis of the (re)production of “actual” conversations by “authentic” queerqueens as written text.
Queen-Personality-Talk
Authors: Maree Claire 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Chapter 3 explores shifting processes of enregisterment through analysis of onē-kyara-kotoba (queen-personality-talk) as written into impact-captions in lifestyle television during the queen-personality boom (middle of the first decade of the 2000s). In makeover media of this period, queen-personalities were proof that readers and viewers alike could remake themselves into a newer and better “me” by applying hard work and dedication to fashion, cosmetics, culinary skills, and interpersonal relationships. Manipulation of language resources and metapragmatic stereotypes of femininity and masculinity are fundamental to processes through which the desire to transform is created. Taking the lifestyle variety television show onēMANS (NTV) as the main focus, the chapter analyzes how the look and the sound of the queerqueen is recontextualized into a heteronormative framework through manipulation of font, animation, color, and orthographic stylization in impact-captions. Editorial interventions inscribe the sonic qualities of queen-personality talk in ways that simultaneously celebrate their transformational power and threaten to expose their (in)authenticity.
Heave-ho
Authors: Maree Claire 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Chapter 6 examines nostalgia and dissent as contradictory companions to queerqueen excess. It provides a critical analysis of Miwa Akihiro’s performances at the annual New Year’s Eve songfest (NHK) in the context of post-3/11 Japan. A queer icon and renowned chanson artist performing since the 1950s, Miwa is said to experience his sixth media “boom” following his songfest performance in 2012. This “boom” is contingent on a strategical recontextualization of Miwa’s philosophy of aesthetics, which is informed by his wartime experiences and the atomic bombing of his hometown of Nagasaki. Nostalgic invocation of motherly love and a visual distancing from his television persona enables a performance of dissent. The performative voice of the iconic “original” queerqueen is distanced from heteronormative imaginations of queer excess and from the ongoing post-3/11 nuclear crisis. Recontextualized, the queerqueen voice is mobilized in a call for a return to the “normality” of pre-crisis familiarity.
Cyclical Movements through Popular Culture
Authors: Maree Claire 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Chapter 7 elucidates the main arguments of the book: First, that practices of transcription and media technologies that facilitate the (re)tracing of recorded speech have been central to the process of boom-making through which queerqueen styles cross from the subcultural to the mainstream. Furthermore, that queerqueen styles are configured as “authentic” speech that is produced spontaneously without scripting and then “faithfully” (re)traced into text. Such packaging elides collaborative processes of writing and editorial interventions practiced by producers, editors, stenographers, and professional writers, while also maintaining their trace in the text itself. The queerqueen in mainstream media is curtailed by transphobic and homophobic discourses through which their desire is reproduced as excessive. Tropes of self-censorship regiment what can be heard and/or seen and that which must be muted and/or covered. To limit queerqueen figures to heteronormative respectability is to expose the sexualized nature of gendered norms of talk in Japanese.
Grand Illusion
Authors: Cruz Gabriela 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Grand Illusion is a new history of grand opera as an art of illusion facilitated by the introduction of gaslight illumination at the Académie Royale de Musique (Paris) in the 1820s. It contends that gas lighting and the technologies of illusion used in the theater after the 1820s spurred the development of a new lyrical art, attentive to the conditions of darkness and radiance, and inspired by the model of phantasmagoria. Karl Marx, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor Adorno have used the concept of phantasmagoria to arrive at a philosophical understanding of modern life as total spectacle, in which the appearance of things supplants their reality. The book argues that the Académie became an early laboratory for this historical process of commodification, for the transformation of opera into an audio-visual spectacle delivering dream-like images. It shows that this transformation began in Paris and then defined opera after the mid-century. In the hands of Giacomo Meyerbeer (Robert le diable, L’Africaine), Richard Wagner (Der fliegende Holländer, Lohengrin, and Tristan und Isolde), and Giuseppe Verdi (Aida), opera became an expanded form of phantasmagoria.
Gaslight and Phantasmagoria at the Opéra
Authors: Cruz Gabriela 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Phantasmagoric, evanescent figurations began competing for attention on the operatic stage following the introduction of gas lighting to the Salle Le Peletier in 1822. Gaslight provided a new environment for the creation of optical illusions in the theater, introducing darkness as a dramaturgical means of facilitating dreamlike perceptivity. In this environment, opera was re-mediated in light of phantasmagoria, the eighteenth-century art of conjuring ghosts developed by Paul Philidor and Etienne Robertson, to become a medium for the production of illusions. Louis Daguerre deployed his new art of the diorama at the Opéra beginning in the 1820s.
The Diorama, Apparitions, and Dream Image in Robert le diable
Authors: Cruz Gabriela 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The far-reaching transformation of grand opera into a modern medium of spectacle was inaugurated by Giacomo Meyerbeer’s Robert le diable. In the Act III ballet, with the theater darkened, the dead left their graves, and, phantom-like, haunted the stage. Those “ghosts” of deceased nuns clad in white ushered in a new genre, the ballet blanc, while another phantom—Robert’s mother—bestowed on grand opera the gift of lyric spectrality when Alice, in Act V, relayed the woman’s last words. Parisian mélomanes regarded this moment of song with special reverence after the 1830s and, arguably, its lyrical qualities guided efforts to reform singing in the 1830s and 40s. But, at the same time, Robert ushered in a new understanding in Paris of opera as an art of dream-like states: indeed, it was the visual procedures of phantasmagoria and diorama that inspired the radical change in Meyerbeer’s art of composition.
The Poetics of Sensation in L’Africaine and Tristan und Isolde
Authors: Cruz Gabriela 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Chapter 5 investigates Meyerbeer’s and Wagner’s treatments of operatic perception and sensation in L’Africaine, Lohengrin, and Tristan und Isolde. The discussion highlights the preoccupation with pleasure and innervation that the two composers shared during the late 1850s and 60s. The music dramaturgies of Wagner and Meyerbeer centered on exotic tress and poisonous blossoms are discussed in parallel, not to show, as others have done, what Wagner learned from Meyerbeer and improved upon, but rather to draw attention to the works’ shared preoccupation with enhanced perception and the role of dreamlike experience in the theater. This shared preoccupation is considered in light of Charles Baudelaire’s poetics of modernity.
City, State
Authors: Hirschl Ran 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
More than half of the world’s population lives in cities; by 2050, it will be more than three quarters. Projections suggest that megacities of 50 million or even 100 million inhabitants will emerge by the end of the century, mostly in the Global South. This shift marks a major and unprecedented transformation of the organization of society, both spatially and geopolitically. Our constitutional institutions and imagination, however, have failed to keep pace with this new reality. Cities have remained virtually absent from constitutional law and constitutional thought, not to mention from comparative constitutional studies more generally. As the world is urbanizing at an extraordinary rate, this book argues, new thinking about constitutionalism and urbanization is desperately needed. In six chapters, the book considers the reasons for the “constitutional blind spot” concerning the metropolis, probes the constitutional relationship between states and (mega)cities worldwide, examines patterns of constitutional change and stalemate in city status, and aims to carve a new place for the city in constitutional thought, constitutional law, and constitutional practice.
