Hearing Secondary Explosions
Authors: Jordan Randolph 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter uses the shot of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center, as captured in the Naudet brothers’ documentary film 9/11, as a point of entry to consider how conventions of asynchronous sound in the cinema are challenged by recent forms of media production and dissemination, and, by extension, to think about whether or not we should revise our understanding of what “cinematic” might mean in relation to listening. It situates the Naudets’ 9/11 within the discourse of “performativity” in documentary film, and assesses the implications of the Naudet footage proliferating in other media outside their own film. The notion of “secondary explosions” acts as a guiding metaphor for the concept of “asynchronization,” and it leads to the argument that the proliferation of Naudet sound elements outside of the film requires an expanded notion of the work of asynchronous sound in audiovisual media.
Projections of Image on Sound
Authors: Korsgaard Mathias Bonde 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
It has often been claimed that music video has exerted an aesthetic influence on cinema. This chapter establishes some of the common arguments surrounding this claim while simultaneously maintaining certain reservations as to the very legitimacy of tracing such influences. Focusing on three particular points of cross-fertilization between music video and cinema—narrative, musicalization, and “reduced images”—the chapter approaches the relation between music video and cinema from both sides: from music video into cinema and vice versa. More specifically, it analyses the work of two transmedia directors who have had opposite career trajectories: Michel Gondry (who started as a musician, then became a music video director, and finally a film director) and David Lynch (a film director who turned to making music videos, and then to creating music under his own name).
The Courtships of Ada and Len
Authors: Smith Jacob 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Ada Jones and Len Spencer were the stars of many musical comedies released by a modern media industry during the first decade of the twentieth century. The reason you probably haven’t heard of these media texts is that they were not performed onstage or produced by the film industry. Jones and Spencer were stars of the phonograph industry, and their records are some of the earliest media texts to combine a narrative with musical numbers and to juxtapose dramatic dialogue and singing. The Jones and Spencer records are a missing link between the nineteenth-century stage and the cinema, and so they recast the history and theory of the modern musical. At the same time, they are an archive of sonic texts that allow us to hear the Hollywood musical in a new way and to listen to musical performance styles both beyond and before the cinema.
Cinematic Listening and the Early Talkie
Authors: Buhler James 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
During the transition to sound, the trade and news press noted frequent complaints against recorded sound, both from those inside the industry who were suspicious of the new technology disrupting their work habits and from the public, which was curious but uncertain about the conventions of sound film. These complaints ranged from dialogue that was too loud and too deliberate, to technical difficulties with reproducing sibilants, to overly intrusive and distracting sound effects. But special ire was reserved for recorded synchronized scores, although the ability to provide such music remained one of the chief early selling points of the technology. This chapter examines some of these early reactions to sound film and looks at strategies that filmmakers developed to convince filmgoers that recorded sound could be cinematic.
Introduction
Authors: Gluhovic Milija , Jestrovic Silvija , Rai Shirin , Saward Michael 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Beginning with two vivid examples that illustrate the Handbook’s core arguments—that politics is performative, performance is political, and that both of these matter to understanding our worlds—the introduction provides a current, contextual account of the shared syntax of politics and performance. It defines key terms, such as politics, performance, theatricality, and performativity, that inform the Handbook contributions. Through accessible and provocative engagements with new ways of thinking about politics and performance in both disciplinary and interdisciplinary modes, the introduction shows that these categories are interwoven and entangled in complex and consequential ways. It outlines the states of the art in theater and performance studies and politics, respectively, capturing key points of interconnection between these discourses in order to build on, extend, and reshape interdisciplinary conversations. Finally, it reflects on key challenges and opportunities that attend bringing the two broad fields together for mutual enrichment and building a new, hybrid field of study. Underlining the co-constitutive nature of performance and politics, the introduction suggests that such a framework is critical to promoting an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex political world of the twenty-first century.
Island Impasse
Authors: Cox Emma 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter responds to the theme of borders with reference to the artistic and activist work of the Iranian refugee Behrouz Boochani, who was held for several years at Manus Island detention center, Papua New Guinea, at the behest of the Australian government. The discussion examines Boochani’s documentary film, Chauka, Please Tell Us the Time (2017), created clandestinely on a mobile device within the detention center. The chapter considers new border formations, marked by prolonged encounters with prohibitory migration laws that transform borders from instruments of passing into tools of impasse. Describing an emergent condition of the border, the chapter works through a concept of “thickening” that results from punitive laws concerning forced migration and from the artistic interventions of people subjected to these laws.
Atmospheres of Protest
Authors: Wall Illan rua 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Commentators often remark upon the “festive” or “tense” atmosphere of major protests. This seems to signify the general outlook of the protestors or the relations between them and the police. It signals the potential of the protests to unfold in a peaceful, joyous manner or with violence. While “festive” and “tense” are useful ways of thinking about protest atmospheres, they are often used in a highly reductive manner. The literature on atmosphere from social movement studies also tends to reproduce this reductive idea of atmosphere, whereby it can be understood through unidimensional metrics. This chapter discusses the social movement literature and opens the debate about atmospheres of protest more widely. Ultimately there is a much greater variety of atmospheric conditions in moments of protest. These nestle together, changing and interacting as the conditions shift. Atmospheres are the affective tone of space. They are produced by those gathered in that space, by the spatial dynamics and the affective social conditions. Atmospheres affect those present, changing their capacity to act. Thus it is important that we understand their potential.
Pedagogy
Authors: Strausz Erzsébet 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter engages the transformational potential of pedagogical practice in the classroom and beyond as both performance and misperformance. It focuses on the ways in which institutional scripts, the disciplinary expectations of the academic field of international relations, and the logic of the market shape and condition bodily movement, modes of expression, and structures of thinking, feeling, sensing as well as practices of self-making in the contemporary university and, more broadly, as everyday social performance. Through vignettes that give a personal, narrative account of learning about learning, it tells the story of an experimental course at Central European University, which specifically sought to draw attention to and creatively subvert the enactment of habitual academic performances in various registers. Embracing the risk of mistakes, discomfort, and awkwardness as intrinsic features of the experience of teaching and being taught, routinized and instrumental practices of sense-making opened up to new perceptual dimensions. In this effort, misperformances as ephemeral, unpredictable, improvised moments that are inevitable in the performance of institutional roles revealed their generative capacity to facilitate embodied, grounded, and socially sensitive understandings of selfhood and otherness as lived, actual realities of international relations. Inspired by Jacques Rancière’s figure of the ignorant schoolmaster, an iterated listening exercise foregrounded the work of attention and, as illustrated by focus group discussions, enabled participants to lessen performance pressure and develop alternative sensibilities of embodied presence, communication, and learning together.
Ceremony, Genealogy, Political Theology
Authors: Elden Stuart 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter begins the work of interrogating the concept and practice of ceremony historically and theoretically. There has been some important recent work that examines the question of ceremony and its contemporary political instantiations and that examines specific ceremonial practices in different historical periods. This chapter discusses this work, develops an argument about how to understand ceremony in relation to political theology, and shows how tracing the etymology and history of ceremony can be helpful in understanding it today. All ceremonies have at least the trace of a religious lineage, even if they appear to be for purely secular purposes. The chapter explores themes around bodies and materials—gesture, choreography, clothing, and objects; the texts or liturgy of ceremony; and the temporality and spatiality of ceremony. The ceremonial is an aspect of the performance of politics but also of the politics of performance. Through a brief discussion of Shakespeare’s play Henry V, the chapter explores this question of political theater.
Gender, Politics, Performance
Authors: Spary Carole 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
The chapter introduces the reader to selected frames that are valuable in work on gender and political representation: embodiment, authenticity, and performative labor of (especially symbolic) representation. The chapter illustrates the dominant scripts of political representation and appeals to situated knowledge during claim-making in the Indian national parliament; the policing of gendered and religious behavioral scripts for authentic representation of minority women in Indian politics; salient intersections of caste, gender, and embodiment in the performance of symbolic representation in the election of India’s first female Speaker in Parliament; and more localized scripts of performing gender in party political spaces. It discusses the performances of women legislators in institutional and noninstitutional spaces with the aim of illustrating the intellectual and practical merits of applying a performance-based approach to analyzing gender and politics.
Parfit and the Non-Identity Problem
Authors: Boonin David 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
In this chapter, the author explains what the non-identity problem is and why it matters, as well as Derek Parfit’s central role in the literature on the problem. The author explains the solution to the problem Parfit tentatively proposed in Reasons and Persons (1984) and the two reasons he gave for being dissatisfied with that solution. The author then explains the solution that Parfit later defended in his final (posthumous) publication (2017) and why he thought that solution overcame the two problems with his earlier solution. The author then identifies a third problem with Parfit’s earlier solution and shows that this third problem is also a problem with his later solution. The author concludes by suggesting that one lesson that might be drawn from the failure of Parfit’s last solution points in the direction of a very different kind of response to the problem, one defended in the author’s 2014 book, The Non-Identity Problem and the Ethics of Future People. And in doing so, the author responds to some of the criticisms of that response that Parfit himself makes early in his final publication.
Patristic Biblical Interpretation in China
Authors: Tan Justin T. T. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay chronicles the study of patristic biblical interpretation in China, first, by tracing the development from the early days of the spread of Christianity; second, by introducing notable translations of patristic texts that have enshrined in them some biblical interpretations; and finally, by investigating selected modern Chinese scholars’ work, which sets the tone for further studies in this particular area. Some paradigmatic studies in recent times indicate the main direction of research in China, such as a distinct sense of wanting to let the early fathers speak again in their context and discarding the traditional bias in the West towards typology and allegory as hermeneutical tools. The widespread use of these tools was well accepted in China. Recently, academics with or without a Christian background have contributed to the appreciation of patristic study in general and biblical interpretation in particular, albeit from a cultural perspective.
Christian Biblical Tradition in the Jing Chinese Culture
Authors: Chen Yanrong 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Most studies of the Bible in China focus on Protestant churches starting in the nineteenth century, as a Chinese Catholic Bible was absent during the first two-hundred-year history of Christianity in China until an official edition was published in the twentieth century. In fact, despite the absence of a full translation, the Bible was rendered into a wide variety of genres corresponding to the native Chinese culture of sacred texts called jing in Chinese. This essay provides a broadened view of the Bible reception in China by presenting a range of Chinese Christian sacred texts from the late sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. These texts conveyed biblical words and messages to Chinese audiences of the time, and they creatively integrated genres from the European Church’s convention of Christian literature and the Chinese literary courses of classical studies and religious texts. This overview demonstrates major examples and organizes them according to their compositions. The diverse types form a spectrum of Chinese Christian sacred texts, in which most individual Chinese Christian works studied in this volume can find a proper place to fit.
The Bible and Missionary Novels In Chinese
Authors: Lai John T. P. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
While foreign missionaries to China spared no effort in translating and disseminating the Bible, they recognized the fact that the Holy Scripture, with all its cultural and theological peculiarities, was too alien and difficult for most Chinese readers to comprehend during the early Qing and Republican periods. Some missionaries, Protestant and Catholic alike, were committed to the production of a sizable corpus of Christian novels in Chinese by making creative use of traditional Chinese literary forms to rewrite biblical stories. Fictional representations of the biblical narratives might provide greater leeway to indigenize the Christian thoughts by offering their intended Chinese audiences culture-specific commentaries and nuanced interpretations. The literary fruits of the missionaries not only had facilitated the reception of the Bible and the spread of the associated religious message but also had reshaped the literary and social landscapes of late imperial and early Republican China.
Jesuits’ Convenevolezza in Printed Illustrations of the Gospel
Authors: Yi Qu 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay discusses the printed illustrations in two earliest Chinese Christian books in the Ming dynasty, namely Song nianzhu guicheng 誦念珠規程 (Rules for Reciting the Rosary, henceforth: Guicheng) and Tianzhu jiangsheng chuxiang jingjie 天主降生出像經解 (Explanation of the Canonical Book about the Lord of Heaven’s Incarnation with Selected Images, henceforth: Jingjie), which have a similar foreign model, the Evangelicae historiae imagines (EHI). Differentiating from the engravings in the EHI, many objects represented in the Chinese woodblock prints refer to Confucian lifestyle, symbols, and philosophies. Focusing on these two books and comparing their illustrations with those in the foreign original, this essay examines the application of convenevolezza to Chinese woodblock prints, illustrating the Jesuits’ policy of accommodating Christianity to Confucianism in this artistic practice.
Localization of Bible Printing in China
Authors: Zi Wang 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay gives a historical survey of Bible printing in China not only to show the development of Chinese Christianity in its missions of printing and publishing but also to demonstrate that the works of printing and publishing are windows of dialogue between Chinese and foreign cultures. The essay traces Bible printing in China with different mission strategies, such as Catholics in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and Protestants in the late Qing dynasty and the early Republic of China. Since the Republic of China, Bible printing has begun to develop in the direction of localization with numerous presses established. In New China, with its focus on streamlining and unity in printing and publishing, Amity Printing Company becomes the only Chinese modern enterprise authorized to print the Bible; it has served China and also more than 110 countries around the world.
Why, When, and How the Global South Became Relevant
Authors: Cooper Adam 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
The idea of the Global South gained traction in the second half of the twentieth century, as certain real and discursive changes occurred to the geopolitical, economic, and epistemological processes established under modernity. Three interconnected global processes—colonialism/postcolonialism, capitalism/industrial development and knowledge flows—processes which collectively forged modernity, underwent significant changes. Previously colonized territories became independent and new technologies and connectivity enabled ideas and people from the former colonies to speak and indeed move back to the Global North. These changes formed part of global transformations to economic modes of production and corporate governance. Industrial and economic processes have therefore intersected with geopolitical changes and epistemological flows to enable slivers of the Global South to emerge in the interstices of powerful political, industrial, and epistemological forces. The Global South creates portals of opportunity for a more democratic, inclusive, and collaborative world, but it could also simply produce new inequalities and divisions reinforced along familiar lines.
A Southern Charter for a Global Youth Studies to Benefit the World
Authors: Swartz Sharlene 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay reflects on the process of developing a handbook that foregrounds Southern perspectives on youth life-worlds, and does so by realigning theory, praxis, and justice. It applies the principles of self-reliance, solidarity, self-knowledge and a move from subordination to interdependence as described in the 1990 report of The South Commission, led by Julius Nyerere, to youth studies scholars from the Global South. Taking seriously the South Commission’s injunction that responsibility for change rests with those from the South who need to recreate their relationship with the North in order to make a global rather than parochial contribution, it describes the aims of the handbook and the many challenges experienced in producing it. Among these challenges are the difficulty Southern scholars have in producing theory, the precarity of their lives, the invisibility of much existing Southern scholarship, and the importance of communities of practice within the South and between the South and North. It concludes by offering a charter for remaking youth studies from one that universalizes Northern perspectives into a truly global youth studies, one that is enriched by, and welcomes the contribution of Global South scholars on their own terms.
Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and Emotions
Authors: Bleiker Roland , Campbell David , Hutchison Emma 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
The issue of asylum seekers and refugees is one of the most contested political issues in Australia. This chapter examines ensuing debates, focusing closely on how refugees and asylum seekers are perceived and responded to in relation to the spatial and emotional dynamics that prevail in Australian society and politics. Specifically, the chapter examines how the issue of asylum is intimately connected to and influenced by highly emotional images circulating in the national media. To do this, the authors first discuss the history of refugees at Australia’s borders. In doing so, the authors underline the key role that political and media representations play in shaping refugee debates and policy. The chapter then undertakes an empirical investigation of two crucial recent periods when refugee debates proliferated in both the media and in politics: August to December 2001 and October 2009 to September 2011. By conducting a content analysis of front-page coverage in The Australian and the Sydney Morning Herald, the authors focus on the particular visual framing that has been used to depict asylum seekers and its emotional and political consequences, highlighting how recurring frames have been used to dehumanize and further displace asylum seekers and refugees in the Australian context. The authors then argue that these visual media depictions associate refugees not with humanitarian challenges and responsibilities, but instead with threats to sovereignty and security.
Kanzi or Can’t He?
Authors: Lyn Heidi 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Nonhuman animals have been successful in using a number of language abilities through a series of studies initiating from the late 1960s. However, these studies and the researchers faced intense criticism, which resulted in a vicious backlash that almost destroyed the field. In this chapter, the author will review the most frequent criticisms, any data-driven responses, and discuss the validity of each criticism. Ultimately, the findings show that nonhumans can acquire symbols through mechanisms more complex than simple association, that those symbols are referential in nature, they can use those symbols in appropriate contexts, and that their symbolic use is not explained by imitation. Some species have also been shown to use and/or comprehend rule-based ordering systems, but these stop short of true syntactical competence. Given the continuities revealed by these studies, any complete hypothesis regarding the evolution of language must incorporate these findings.
