Theorizing Entertainment-Education
Authors: Wang Hua , Singhal Arvind 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Entertainment-education (EE) is a theory-based social and behavior change communication strategy. The Sabido methodology of producing commercially successful prosocial telenovelas was instrumental in establishing EE as a social scientific field of research and practice globally. Early experimentations with applying theories in EE productions began in the 1970s, when entertainment theory gained a foothold in media psychology and communication research. The evolution of EE theorizing provides a parallel and complimentary perspective to the development of entertainment theories. This chapter provides a historical account of EE, highlighting its foundational theoretical strains. It also discusses the more contemporary theoretical models in EE, especially the ones that are converging in the area of narrative persuasion. Finally, we explicate on the new phenomenon of transmedia edutainment and how it could benefit and challenge the ongoing developments in entertainment theory.
Coral Sea Cultural Interaction Sphere
Authors: McNiven Ian J. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Cultural interactions between Aboriginal peoples of northeastern Australia and Melanesian peoples of southern New Guinea have caught the attention of anthropologists and archaeologists since the nineteenth century. Moving away from older models of one-way diffusion of so-called advanced cultural traits from New Guinea to mainland Australia via Torres Strait, this article elaborates the concept of the Coral Sea Cultural Interaction Sphere (CSCIS) as a framework to investigate two-way interactions, gene flow, and object movements across Torres Strait. The CSCIS centres on a series of ethnographically known, canoe-voyaging, and long-distance maritime exchange networks that linked communities over a distance of 2000 km along the south coast of mainland Papua New Guinea and the northeast coast of Australia. Archaeological evidence for temporal changes in the geographical spread of pottery and obsidian use indicates that the CSCIS was historically dynamic, with numerous reconfigurations over the past 3000 years. The CSCIS developed as the confluence of major cultural changes and demographic expansions that took place in northeastern Australia and southern mainland Papua New Guinea.
The Future in the Twelve
Authors: Boda Mark J. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This essay discusses the topic of the future within the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets. It begins with a review of recent streams of research on the future within the Twelve (messianism, Zion/Jerusalem/nations, Day of Yahweh, apocalyptic) and then outlines the major thematic contours of this topic within this prophetic corpus (conditions of the future, human response, prophetic future, and certainty). The essay concludes by focusing on two key passages (Mic 4–5 and Hag 2:10–23), which show the intersection of past, present, and future within prophecy, marking the prophetic as key to the transformation of the lives of the audience.
Postcolonial Approaches to the Minor Prophets
Authors: Cataldo Jeremiah W. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This essay explores the state of postcolonial analysis in studies of the Minor Prophets. In understanding what postcolonialism is, what it is becoming, and how it has faltered in studies of the Minor Prophets, scholars may be better able to find ways of incorporating its insights into their own work while preserving its critique of inequalities inherent within the institutions that continue to support the scholars themselves. Those insights must begin with an acceptance of postcolonialism as inherently a challenge to the world that the Minor Prophets perceived and to trends in biblical interpretation. In its exploration of postcolonial analyses, this essay explains the general contours of postcolonialism, identifies elements of its shift into areas of ideological colonialism not confined to historical consciousness, and draws out points of tension between postcolonial inquiry and the Minor Prophets.
God in the Book of the Twelve
Authors: S James D. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This essay considers the nature and character of God in the Twelve. To do so requires one to extrapolate assumptions about God on multiple levels: individual units, thematic developments, and modes of speech. When these elements are evaluated within the individual books and across the Book of the Twelve as a curated collection, a portrait of YHWH’s actions and motives develops that highlights YHWH’s covenantal expectations across time (from the eighth century to the Persian period) and for the future (a Day of YHWH still to come). The resulting portrait has a didactic purpose designed both to warn Jerusalem’s cultic elite of their responsibility and to admonish the people of YHWH to avoid the mistakes of the past.
Habakkuk
Authors: Ko Grace 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This essay first examines critical studies on the book of Habakkuk by surveying redactional and textual discussions, as well as historical-critical issues. Since historical-critical method fails to shed light on the heart of the book, this essay opts for synchronic methodology. Considering the final form of the text, the essay examines literary devices such as genre, structure, content, and plot to uncover the themes of the book—theodicy, the righteous shall live by faithfulness, retribution, and divine sovereignty. Lastly, the essay investigates the positioning of Habakkuk in the Twelve, especially how it fits into House’s U-shaped comic framework as the overall plot of the Book of the Twelve. The essay then concludes that the message of Habakkuk is just as relevant today as it was in the prophet’s time.
Jonah
Authors: Lovelace Vanessa 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This essay considers the book of Jonah, the paradoxical figure for whom the book is named, its global narrative, themes and motifs, and contested issues. The article makes clear that while many readers believe that they know the story of Jonah, its storybook appearance belies its narrative complexity. Over the history of interpretation, the figure of Jonah son of Amittai has been regarded as both hero and antihero. Jonah is not called a prophet in the book. The book is written mostly in prose rather than poetry, and in contrast to other prophetic literature, it is a story about a prophet more than it is a prophetic text; thus, it could easily fit among the historical narratives or short stories in the Hebrew Bible. It remains a favorite among Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, as well as and nonreligious audiences.
Toward a Utilitarian Theory of Consumer Response to Advertising Music
Authors: Craton Lincoln G. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
It is surprisingly difficult to know whether a piece of ad music will have its intended effect on consumers. A model developed by the author and a colleague (Craton & Lantos, 2011; Lantos & Craton, 2012) consists of four broad variables (listening situation, musical stimulus, listener characteristics, and listener’s advertising processing strategy) that interact to determine attitude toward the advertising music (Aam), a multidimensional construct that captures the many cognitive and affective elements of a consumer’s experience of ad music. Emerging research on negative emotional response to music, brand avoidance, and “mixed emotions” is consistent with predictions that Aam’s valence can be negative or a mixture of positive and negative (ambivalent). This literature also has implications for how to measure Aam and clarify its structure—specifically, the relationship between overall musical response and Aam’s many subsidiary elements. The present chapter reviews this emerging work, discusses its implications for the model, and suggests how the model can be extended by adding a layer of diverse psychological processes (“mechanisms”) that mediate between its four broad causal variables and Aam. The theory is “utilitarian” in the sense that the proposed mechanisms evolved to perform practical, biologically important tasks not specifically related to music processing.
Designing Identities
Authors: McLeod Ken 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This chapter examines the ways in which the automotive and appliance industries approach concepts of sound branding to delineate both product and consumer identities. The chapter elucidates how sonic aspects of the car-driver experiences—whether it is the sound of doors closing, distinctive engine sounds, or the variety of interior warning indicators and chimes—are carefully designed to appeal to and identify with various target markets. The growing complexity of built-in or “intentional” sound sources and of the sonic experience of operating cars and appliances also calls into question the relationship between machines and people. Marketers and sound designers attempt to inculcate the “emotional values” they want consumers to associate with a product. As such, people inhabit a world of commodities that are increasingly marketed to them as anthropomorphic, sentient entities that give the appearance of sharing their values and enabling their lifestyle choices.
Fitting Tunes
Authors: Kupfer Peter 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Given how diverse the identities and musical tastes of consumers are and the power of music to influence the perception of moving images, how do advertisers choose the music for television commercials? Who makes such decisions, how are they made, and who evaluates them, both before airing and after? This chapter addresses these and related questions about the processes of selecting music for television commercials. The analysis is based on interviews with industry professionals as well as on a synthesis of literature from musicology, music sociology, music psychology, screen music, and advertising. In a multi-billion-dollar industry, where deadlines, budgets, and return on investment reign supreme, such decisions cannot be taken lightly, particularly when using certain kinds of music (e.g. copyrighted popular music) can easily inflate or exceed budgets or potentially alienate wide swaths of viewers. Ultimately, the chapter describes how balances are struck between emotional, artistic, communicative, financial, and sociocultural considerations.
Music and Institutional Advertising
Authors: Asai Rika 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This chapter explores music and advertising in the United States during the golden age of radio using the 1946–1947 season of Echoes of New York as a case study. As a radio-variety program sponsored by New York electric utility Consolidated Edison, Echoes is an example of institutional advertising, a form of advertising designed to shape public perception of the company, rather than to sell specific products. The company entrusted the important task to its long-time advertising agency, McCann-Erickson. Drawing on scripts, scores, memos, and financial documentation, this chapter considers broadcast entertainment’s creation and perpetuation of formulaic construction in program format as well as the gradual streamlining of McCann-Erickson’s musical activities in a typical work week. The chapter highlights the role of Con Edison’s all-male company chorus, the Edisoneers, as a physical and aural representation of the message Echoes sought to impart. In focusing on the work of producing music for institutional advertising, this chapter contributes to studies that have illuminated the foundational position of advertising agencies in driving the form and content of programming during the radio era.
Don Quixote
Authors: Palmer Donald 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This chapter addresses how Cervantes uses humour to treat philosophical issues, or in ways that invite philosophical analysis, in Don Quixote. There are at least five ways in which philosophy appears. First, there is Cervantes’s familiarity with philosophical and his use of them in his writings. Second, the thoughts, statements, and acts of Cervantes’s hero position him in various philosophical stances. Third, the employment by literary critics of more recent philosophical developments as they read Cervantes’s novel. Fourth, we find philosophers of later generations analysing Cervantes’s novel in ways that suggest new philosophical readings of it. Fifth, we discover that certain ideas in Don Quixote anticipate future philosophical developments. This chapter shows that one of the reasons for the apparent modernity of Don Quixote is Cervantes’s comprehension of the philosophical past and his eventual escape from its grasp through his intellectual strategies, which are anticipatory of our own period.
Windmills of Reality, Giants of the Imagination
Authors: Luis-Martínez Zenón 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
With the arrival of a princeps edition of the 1605 Quixote in the same year of its printing, the British public developed an immediate fascination with the novel. Literary references and adaptations to the book appeared as early as 1607, well before the first published translation into English in 1612. From Shakespeare to Fletcher, from Milton to Dickens, and down to the present day, the antics of Don Quixote and Sancho have become assimilated into British culture. This chapter discusses the most significant influences of Cervantes’s writings in British society since their inception into the British Isles.
Don Quixote, Part II (1615)
Authors: Williamson Edwin 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
A critical commentary on the major episodes of Don Quixote Part Two, this chapter shows how the pivotal episode of Dulcinea’s alleged enchantment (DQ II. 10) brings about a transformation in the character of each of the protagonists and in the nature of their relations, as well as providing a new unifying principle for the episodic narrative. Cervantes’s parody of the books of chivalry reaches its climax at the Duke’s palace, where an inversion occurs in the relationship between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza that will lead to the decline and fall of the would-be hero. In this second part, Cervantes’s modulations of comedy and pathos fashion the paradoxical madness of the Knight of La Mancha into an unprecedented literary phenomenon that would come to resonate powerfully with modern readers.
Don Quixote de la Mancha’s Narrative Structure within the Literary Tradition
Authors: Iglesias Yolanda 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
The objective of this study is to present the meaning, complexity, innovation, and relevance of Don Quixote’s narrative structure within the literary tradition. First, this chapter reviews the diverse perspectives and interpretations among scholars when attempting to establish the narrative structure created by Cervantes. It highlights the directions in which scholars have, over time, been arguing about the narrative structure of Don Quixote, to show how some enigmas remain unsolved. Second, this piece re-examines previous literature with the goal of solving some of the unexplained gaps in the narrative and framing the relevance of the structure in Don Quixote, which is one of the main pillars supporting the argument that Cervantes’s masterpiece is the first modern novel.
Sin and Evil
Authors: Barshinger David P. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This chapter describes Jonathan Edwards’s doctrine of sin and evil. It emphasizes the role of the Bible as foundational to his theology while also highlighting his desire to defend the reasonableness of traditional Christian doctrine in light of eighteenth-century intellectual challenges. The chapter explores Edwards’s theodicy in response to the problem of evil—how he sought to absolve God of the charge that he is the author of evil. It describes Edwards’s doctrine of original sin and human depravity, which he explained by defending the universality of sin and the transmission of Adam’s sin to his posterity and in which he developed an innovative metaphysic using occasionalism and continuous creationism. As a pastor, Edwards preached on sin to warn people of punishment, call them to repentance, and emphasize redemption in Christ. The chapter recommends giving greater attention to Edwards’s sermons and pastoral ministry in understanding his view of sin and evil.
North America
Authors: Byrd James P. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This chapter assesses the main strands of Edwards’s reception in North America from the eighteenth century through the early twentieth century. Most Americans did not know much, if anything, about Edwards until decades after his death, when various—often conflicting—views of Edwards appeared. New Divinity ministers expanded his theological vison while revivalists, including Charles G. Finney, enlisted Edwards’s legacy for their purposes, and thousands of evangelicals embraced Edwards’s Life of David Brainerd. Edwards intrigued (and offended) writers like Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and his condemnation of sin caught the interest of antislavery advocates in the Civil War. His legacy helped to shape the rise of American literature as a discipline, leading to the widespread academic study of Edwards that exploded in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with over 5000 books, dissertations, articles, and theses published on Edwards.
Britain and Europe
Authors: Yeager Jonathan 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
In Britain and Europe, Jonathan Edwards was first known as a revivalist. Early works such as A Faithful Narrative (1737), The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God (1741), Some Thoughts Concerning the Present Revival of Religion in New-England (1742), and Religious Affections (1746) brought him international acclaim in the 1740s. Later works such as Freedom of the Will (1754) and Original Sin (1758) extended his reputation in Britain and Europe as a theologian and philosopher. His status as a revivalist and important American thinker depended on the booksellers, printers, and editors who worked behind the scenes to publish his works within his lifetime, and in the decades following his death in 1758. At the end of the eighteenth century, and into the modern era, intellectuals in Britain and Continental Europe began critically analysing Edwards’s thought; some of them celebrated him as an innovative Reformed theologian, with others pronouncing him as an archaic specimen of the past.
Asia
Authors: Han Dongsoo 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of the scholarship of Asian Edwardseans and the significant publications of primary and secondary sources on Edwards in Asia. There remains today little critical research on Jonathan Edwards’s influence in Asia or Asian Edwardsean scholarship. Thus, the significant contributions of Asian scholars to Edwardsean scholarship have been largely unacknowledged. This chapter begins by assessing the state of Korean Edwardseans, which is the second-largest group of Edwardseans in the world. Korean scholars, publications, and churches together reveal a robust engagement with Jonathan Edwards’s life and thought. Edwards’s influence on the Korean Church has rapidly accelerated in recent decades and is poised for continued growth. In addition to Korea, Japanese, Chinese, and Singaporean Edwardsean scholarship receives attention. Throughout the chapter, comments on the future of Asian Edwardsean scholarship are provided, including pointing out areas where further development remains necessary.
Revelation
Authors: Nichols Stephen R. C. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
The chapter sketches out the theological and intellectual context of Jonathan Edwards’s doctrine of revelation. It notes first the broad characteristics of the doctrine in Edwards’s immediate heritage and then the peculiar challenges to it posed by the English deist thinkers of his day. The chapter argues that in the face of radical objections Edwards defended a recognizably Reformed version of the doctrine. The chapter then briefly considers his theology proper, noting that for Edwards God was essentially a communicative being and that his teleology was one aimed at God’s glorification through self-communication. While Edwards denied that the book of nature was salvific, his theology proper and teleology coupled with his metaphysical commitments to a form of idealism and to being as relational and communicative, meant that as regards the regenerate he was prepared to grant a far more expansive revelatory role for nature and history than was common to his heritage.
Climate Change, Apocalypse, and the Future of Salvation
Authors: Hall John R. , Baker Zeke 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
In this chapter, an exploratory survey focuses on ‘popular theologies’ in relation to institutional religious formations in the US in order to bring to light affinities and disjunctures between alternative ways that global salvation can be (or fail to be) envisioned and engaged in relation to climate futures. Given climate change, the future of salvation is not simply a matter for individual souls, as religion often has it. The spectre of global warming poses salvation challenges of potentially apocalyptic proportions for the biosphere and peoples of the planet Earth. Religion in its discourses and practices brings issues of salvation into especially sharp resolution. It is also the ambivalent ur-source of the apocalyptic, which, along with other religious theologies and practices, can be mapped in relation to their distinctive social temporalities. Focusing on alternative temporalities—especially apocalyptic orientations towards the Millennium—lays bare the cultural antinomies of climate crisis.
Post-Human Design
Authors: Sandberg Anders 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This essay considers the notion of the ‘exoself’ as a vision of the extended human in the future. Sandberg reconsiders the advancements in technology which allow us to modify bodies and outsource cognition and examines the profound ways in which they change ways we relate to the world: from exoself components, like watches and smartphones which are now experienced as everyday parts of life, to rarer, more exotic visions of futurity such as prosthetics, spacesuits, and exoskeletons. The chapter considers other mediums of the exoself vision such as art, fiction, and demonstrations. Sandberg maintains that while radically enhanced posthumans are too abstract to visualize, exoselves provide a ready-made image of a transhuman that is concrete.
From Boundless Expansion to Existential Threat
Authors: Taillandier Apolline 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This essay examines visions of the future of human life in transhumanist imaginaries of the posthuman, ranging from utopian figurations to catastrophist warnings. Focusing on libertarian, liberal, and conservative posthuman imaginaries, it argues that the posthuman condition is defined by changing scientific, moral, and political narratives, including ideas of revolutionary change, progressive evolution through the ethical use of human enhancement technologies, and the mitigation of existential risk for the preservation of intelligence and civilization in the long term. Changing posthuman imaginaries, it shows, reshape spaces of present and future political imagination.
Myths of the Future
Authors: Holmes John 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Olaf Stapledon has been described as ‘the great classical example’ for science fiction. In Last and First Men (1930), he projected a future for human evolution across two billion years, three planets, and eighteen species. Stapledon denied that his book was either prophecy or future history, however, identifying it rather as ‘an essay in myth creation’. This chapter proposes that, through its genre and scope, Last and First Men makes a distinctive contribution to how we might seek to conceive of the future. Myth offers Stapledon a uniquely apt and versatile way to think through possible futures, free from the demands of verifiability, open to falsehood even, yet with its own authority and claim to truth. These mythic futures are a means to interrogate the present while drawing out latent possibilities within human biology and society which are as yet unrealized.
