Musicalized Sound Design and the Erotics of Cinema
Authors: Kulezic-Wilson Danijela 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Chapter 4 explores the sensuous dimension of contemporary soundtracks through examples of soundtrack musicality drawn from diegetic sounds such as physical activities, walking, or environmental sounds. The chapter argues that the overall musical effect produced by the interaction between repetitive sound and rhythmicized visual movement creates musicality of an inherently cinematic nature, a type of audiovisual musique concrète. This approach is theorized through the concept of the erotics of art, contending that the practice of blurring the boundaries between music and the soundtrack’s other elements is intimately connected to the emergence of a trend that emphasizes the sensuousness of film form—its sonic and visual textures, composition, rhythm, movement, and flow—without confusing it with sensory overload.
Armenian Philonic Corpus
Authors: Terian Abraham 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter accounts for the nearly one-fifth of the extant works of Philo that have reached us by way of a sixth-century Armenian translation, including substantial parts of QG and QE as well as the complete “dialogues” with Tiberius Julius Alexander. The Armenian corpus also includes works the Greek of which is extant, and these provide a valuable control over the Greek text, having been translated in a predominantly interlinear fashion from a text that predates the extant Greek manuscripts. The chapter concludes with a brief survey of the Philonic influence on medieval Armenian authors, focusing on certain works by Gregory of Narek (d. 1003) as an example.
Early Jewish Liturgical Texts
Authors: Siegert Folker 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This is the first complete overview, in English, of what is known as having happened in Greek-speaking synagogues of pre-rabbinic times. Teaching religion and morals by interpreting a sacred text read to the public beforehand, was an innovation due to diaspora Judaism and unknown to other cults of Antiquity. And even though there was a ban on writing down prayers lest they fall in the hands of magicians, some have been found on papyrus that may be incantations (which is a reason for writing); others have been written down by Christians, be it literally, be it in a free composition, from hearing in the synagogues. The synagogue service has always been open to the public. Thus the origins of Christian worship may be studied here.
Gnostic
Authors: Burns Dylan M. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The corpus of extant Gnostic literature, preserved almost exclusively in Coptic codices of the ca. fourth–sixth centuries ce, constitutes an invaluable witness for the transmission of Second Temple Jewish traditions in late antiquity. The most famous of these concern the hypostasis Sophia (“Wisdom”) and the dual creation of Adam (Gen 2–3). Other important traditions found throughout Coptic Gnostic literature deal with Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, divine “youths” (Metatron?), the Fall of the Watchers, Noah and the Flood, Seth’s sister and wife Norea and the Sibyl, Melchizedek, and Solomon. Sodom and Gomorrah pop up in famous cases of Gnostic “reverse exegesis,” where the Sodomites are valorized. Traditions of the apocalypses, such as heavenly journeys and the glorification and transformation of human seers, are also of paramount importance to Gnostic literature. More “philosophically-inclined” currents related to Gnosticism, such as Valentinianism and Hermetism, transmit many Jewish traditions as well. Gnostic literature thus constitutes a source of deep value not only for the importance of Jewish traditions for the formation of Christian and Gnostic thought, but also for the transmission of apocalyptic and mystical ideas during a period for which our “Jewish sources” are relatively scarce.
Why Study Parents’ Beliefs?
Authors: Miller Scott A. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
As its title indicates, this introductory chapter provides the rationale for the study of parents’ beliefs. Eight reasons are presented, some tied to the theoretical issues to which such study speaks and some tied to the pragmatic issues for which parents’ beliefs are important. Several emphases that recur throughout the book are introduced, including the need for the multicultural study of beliefs and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to such study. The chapter concludes with an overview of the specific topics and chapters that make up the rest of the book.
Childhood: Social Development
Authors: Miller Scott A. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter provides a complement to the previous chapter through a consideration of parents’ beliefs about children’s social development. Five topics are considered: emotional development (including emotion recognition and emotion regulation), aggression (including bullying), moral development, peer relations, and gender-role development. These topics are not neatly compartmentalized; rather, aspects of two or more often flow together as children deal with their social worlds. Controlling one’s emotions, for example, may be necessary to avoid an aggressive act, which in turn may help to maintain good social relations with others. The author explores these interrelations throughout the chapter.
Familiarity and Conviction in the Criminal Justice System
Authors: Pozzulo Joanna , Pica Emily , Sheahan Chelsea 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Eyewitnesses are likely to have some degree of familiarity with a perpetrator when a crime is committed. Despite the fact that the majority of crimes are committed by someone with whom the victim/witness is familiar, the majority of eyewitness research has focused on the identification of stranger perpetrators. It is critical to examine how familiarity may influence eyewitness accuracy. Familiarity can vary from a complete stranger to a very familiar other. This book explores the “middle ground” as it relates to the criminal justice system, namely describing perpetrators, eyewitness identification, and jury decision-making. The purpose of this book is to consolidate the literature that exists regarding familiarity and to apply this research to an eyewitness context. This book attempts to better understand how familiarity may impact eyewitnesses and to highlight key considerations when an eyewitness is familiar with a perpetrator while collecting eyewitness evidence and using it in a courtroom. This is achieved through an in-depth discussion of the definition of familiarity, the examination of critical social psychological and cognitive theory in relation to familiarity, a description of the current literature examining eyewitness familiarity, a discussion of familiarity evidence in the courtroom, and a proposal for future directions and research.
Theoretical Underpinnings
Authors: Pozzulo Joanna 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter discusses familiarity from a social psychological lens. The chapter provides a basis in theory for beginning to understand the concept of familiarity, how it may be studied, and factors that impact familiarity outside of an eyewitness-specific context. For example, it takes a social psychological perspective on how familiarity is developed through interactions, proximity, similarity, and inclusive pronouns. In addition, the chapter discusses how familiarity can play a role in both the development and maintenance of stereotypes. It discusses specific stereotypes, such as gender stereotypes/bias, stereotypical behaviors, and stereotypes in general. Last, the chapter applies these social psychological perspectives on familiarity when it is applied to the legal system. It discusses the cross-race effect, in-groups and out-groups, and Stockholm syndrome.
Introduction
Authors: Veugelers John W.P. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Empire’s Legacy argues that subcultures in the shadows of society preserve a latent potential for the far right. The nativist cleavage has joined traditional cleavages that shape European politics, and France is a leading example. Dominant explanations overstate the importance of current factors, especially economic distress. This book travels into the imperial past to discover the roots of an enduring affinity for the far right. At its empirical core, Empire’s Legacy dissects the victory of the National Front in Toulon, which in 1995 became the biggest city in postwar Europe to elect a far-right government. This offers insight into the National Front’s success in a region of core support, southern France. Empire’s Legacy also shows what the far right does when it holds local power; and how opponents can dampen its appeal. Ernst Bloch’s ideas about politics and anachronism guide this study.
New Political Configurations
Authors: Veugelers John W.P. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter examines how the ex-colonials organized, what political influence they achieved, and why their efforts stalled. Anticipating elections, their leaders mounted social and cultural events with support from local politicians. These events maintained collective identity and social networks. They signaled a political potential and tightened bonds with local politicians. Similar models of patron-client arose in other Mediterranean cities (e.g., Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Nice, Montpellier, Perpignan, and Toulouse). In the 1965 municipal elections, all parties in Toulon wooed the ex-colonials, who backed the moderate right. For the 1965 presidential and 1967 parliamentary elections, they sought to maintain their influence, but lost unity. The patron-client relations and electoral support that joined them to the moderate right would persist until the rise of the National Front in the 1990s.
The Far Right Organizes in the Var
Authors: Veugelers John W.P. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter examines the history of the National Front in the Var from its origins during the 1970s until its electoral victory in the 1995 Toulon municipal elections. From the recruitment of leaders, cadres, activists, and voters to the style of language used, the influence of French Algeria pervaded the development of the National Front in this part of France. By the 1990s, the Var section of the National Front was the largest of any party in France. This laid the foundations for a strong electoral performance. While the left lost ground, the non-Gaullist moderate right resisted electorally: it upheld a system of patron-client relations, remained united in party politics, and exercised influence at multiple levels of government. The moderate right helped the far right in this part of France by validating its anti-immigrant rhetoric and treating the National Front as a tactical partner.
Conclusion
Authors: Veugelers John W.P. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The conclusion connects this study to the book’s major themes. Studying political potentials raise questions about their origins, nature, and transmission, as well as the conditions of their translation into actual support. Explanations for nativist politics that emphasize the losers of economic globalization forget the losers of other historical changes that may be older. Images of modernity that overstate its transformative force miss the persistence of anachronisms that survive and push back. Although the elective affinity studied in this book no longer lends the same vigor to the French far right, its persistence in the broader society suggests a far-right potential will not disappear quickly.
The Absolutist Mirror
Authors: Mokhberi Susan 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The visit of Mohammad Reza Beg in 1715 raised connections between the Safavid and Bourbon crowns. After the death of Louis XIV, Persia took on a different meaning under the new French government, which distanced itself from depictions that could suggest Louis XIV as a despot. French literature broached the tensions inherent in the image of Persia as a civil yet despotic empire. Finally, the collapse of the Safavid Empire made positive associations with France harder to draw. Enlightenment authors, such as Montesquieu and Voltaire, discussed the breakdown of the Safavid Empire and the warning it suggested to the French monarchy.
Sociological Perspectives on Deaf Identities
Authors: Holcomb Leala , Horejes Thomas P. , Ocuto Oscar , Santini Joseph 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter delineates three foundational social questions covering identity and its confluence with society. The authors, deaf academics, use these foundational questions as a framework to examine sociological perceptions of deaf identities. These questions guide the reader to an understanding of the structure of the deaf community, where it stands in human history, and who succeeds in the greater context of society in general. The authors integrate their own personal experiences within an academic framework grounded in sociology to explore the impact of social institutions, including the family, medical and educational systems, and the community influences on the social construction of deaf identities.
Religion and Deaf Identity
Authors: Buchholz Noah , Leigh Darby Jared 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter represents the first-ever effort to examine the role of religion in the realm of deaf identities. The authors, both of whom are deaf religious leaders, with one representing Christianity and the other Judaism, provide a cutting-edge analysis of the relationship between religion and deaf identities. They present different interpretations based on religious treatises that include perspectives of deaf people. These perspectives are fraught with the complexities of multiple social identities that interact with the deaf identity component. While religion has the potential to coalesce deaf people and affirm their deaf identities, the chapter also explores how the religious setting can manifest the dynamics of oppression, dynamics that potentially may result in personal and community dissociation.
Examining the Intersectionality of Deaf Identity, Race/Ethnicity, and Diversity Through a Black Deaf Lens1,2
Authors: Dunn Lindsay Moeletsi , Anderson Glenn B. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The authors of this chapter, a Black Deaf scholar immigrant from South Africa and a Black Deaf academic from the South Side of Chicago, highlight the limited scholarly exploration of Black Deaf lives within the context of the Deaf community. They present what they could extract from existing literature on Black Deaf historical perspectives, the influence of Black American Sign Language, and what it means to be Black and Deaf. In addition, considering the scarcity of research on non-White Deaf communities, they contribute their personal experiences to highlight the transnational identity issues of Black Deaf immigrants and the identity issues of Black Deaf individuals within the context of the United States. This chapter provides a thought-provoking treatise on what it means to be Black and Deaf with unique backgrounds in the United States.
On (Always) Passing
Authors: Brueggemann Brenda Jo 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter is a treatise on the issue of passing as a hard-of-hearing, or rather, as a deaf adult. The author, who comes from a background in English studies and rhetorical analysis, forged her professional identity as a deaf female academic grounded in the arts and humanities. Using this background as a foundation, she has created an extensive body of literature on the meanings of disability, deaf identities, gender, and the interactions of all three. Her thoughts and experiences as a deaf academic and deaf family member related to these three constructs have propelled her to describe in this chapter how she has moved from her previous conceptualization of “almost passing” as a hearing individual to “always passing” as a deaf individual. She illustrates how taking a stand regarding passing and being upfront about her needs as a deaf person can be affirming in terms of identity.
Human Rights, Interests, and Variation
Authors: Sangiovanni Andrea 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The debate on human rights is currently divided between three camps: the Orthodox View associated with, for example, James Griffin and John Tasioulas; the Political View associated with, for example, John Rawls, Charles Beitz, and Joseph Raz; and the Legal View associated with Allen Buchanan. The debate is reaching somewhat of a stalemate, with all three sides backed into defensive and unattractive positions. Rainer Forst offers a distinctive, and distinctively appealing, way to play a different game. This chapter reconstructs what makes the Forstian game distinctive; highlights a tension in Forst’s view that threatens to make it indistinguishable from an Orthodox View; and shows how to resolve it. The resolution suggests a novel way of conceiving of human rights that allows for much greater institutional variation in conceptions of human rights than we are accustomed to.
The Limits of Justification
Authors: McNay Lois 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the limits of Forst’s right to justification. It argues that Forst failed to integrate the transcendental and the critical dimension of justification by establishing an immanent connection. Rather, he oscillated inconsequently between these dimensions in a methodologically indecisive manner. Forst shielded the right to justification, qua universal principle, in a self-contradictory way from systematic and self-reflective criticism, thereby hiding the presumptions, blind spots, and potential exclusions of his own theory. The main reason for these failures lies in Forst’s concept of noumenal power. This concept was incapable of advancing beyond on empty formalism, thus preventing an adequate analysis of indirect perpetuations of inequality and oppression.
Democracy as Good in Itself
Authors: Rostbøll Christian F. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter addresses the problem of the justification of democracy. It begins with an investigation of political-legal instrumentalism in general and democratic instrumentalism in particular. This is followed by three sections, each of which presents and discusses the three kinds of democratic non-instrumentalism. The argument here proceeds progressively, in the sense that objections to the first kind of justification (Aristotelian non-instrumentalism) lead to the second kind (justice-first non-instrumentalism), and similarly with the transition from the second to the third kind of non-instrumentalism (Kantian non-instrumentalism). The chapter includes an extra section on Kantian non-instrumentalism, since this justification of democracy is the main contribution of the chapter. It argues that the Kantian justification is a justification of a specific form of democracy, namely, constitutional democracy.
The Constitution of Justification
Authors: Forst Rainer 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter presents Rainer Forst’s responses to the authors of the preceding chapters. According to Forst, the topics that need to be addressed cover a very wide terrain, ranging from foundational questions about moral universality and the reflexivity of practical reason to questions of legal, political, and social justice, critical theory, the value of democracy, the justificatory practice of judicial review or the European polity. He attempts to address them from within the theory of justification that he has been developing over the years since writing his first book, Contexts of Justice (published in German in 1994). In order to do justice to the individual authors, Forst’s responses follow the order of the contributions, and are divided broadly into replies to the chapters that directly address his work and comments on the chapters that develop an argument in dialogue with his work without focusing directly on it.
Building a Resilient Tomorrow
Authors: Hill Alice C. , Martinez-Diaz Leonardo 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Even under the most optimistic scenarios, significant global climate change is now inevitable. Although we cannot tell with certainty how much average global temperatures will rise, we do know that the warming we have experienced to date has already caused significant losses, and that the failure to prepare for the consequences of further warming may prove to be staggering. This book does not dwell on overhyped descriptions of apocalyptic climate scenarios, nor does it travel down well-trodden paths surrounding the politics of reducing carbon emissions. Instead, it starts with two central facts: there will be future climate impacts, and we can make changes now to buffer their effects. While squarely confronting the scale of the risks we face, this pragmatic guide focuses on solutions—some gradual and some more revolutionary—currently being deployed around the globe. Each chapter presents a thematic lesson for decision-makers and engaged citizens to consider, outlining replicable successes and identifying provocative recommendations to strengthen climate resilience. Between discussions of ideas as wide-ranging as managed retreat from coastal hot zones to biological solutions for resurgent climate-related disease threats, the authors draw on their personal experiences to tell behind-the-scenes stories of what it really takes to advance progress on these issues. The narrative is dotted with stories of on-the-ground citizenry, from small-town mayors and bankers to generals and engineers, who are chipping away at financial disincentives and bureaucratic hurdles to prepare for life on a warmer planet.
Make Markets Work for Resilience
Authors: and Hill 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This chapter looks at how more transparent disclosure of climate risks can make markets work for resilience. In a world in which climate risk is reflected in the prices of assets traded in the market, everyone will be pressured to manage the risk and protect the value of their holdings. This chapter looks at four markets where we might expect climate risk disclosure to cause prices to change most readily: equities (company stocks), debt (bonds issued by companies and governments), property (real estate), and insurance. It argues that disclosure and better risk information can propel climate resilience at a systemic level, but it can also prove highly disruptive. Fear of disruption and its consequences has led different groups to throw sand into the gears to delay a day of reckoning, but that day is coming. If communities are unprepared, investors, banks, and insurance companies could panic and pull back indiscriminately from parts of the stock, bond, property, and insurance markets. The insights learned from these markets can illustrate how each could drive resilience on a large scale.
Find Better Ways to Pay for Resilience
Authors: and Hill 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Even for the largest economy in the world, ever-larger climate bailouts are not a responsible solution to confronting present and future climate impacts. Governments everywhere, including in the United States, will have to raise unprecedented amounts of money to cope with the impacts of climate change. This chapter examines how communities can raise the money needed, and how can they do so while keeping the financial strain as low as possible. It highlights some traditional solutions, such as taxes, borrowing, and buying reinsurance, alongside newer ideas, such as setting up special reserve funds, using value capture, raising funds from carbon taxes and cap-and-trade mechanisms, and issuing green and catastrophe bonds.
