Wars and Peace
Authors: Fortini Brown Patricia 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Girolamo faces a revolt by the citizens of Ceneda while serving as procurator for his brother, and Venice is forced to intervene. But the decades-long blood feud in the Friuli finally comes to an end. After a pamphlet war and a duel, a Venetian procurator negotiates the Peace of 1568 between the heads of the warring families. Bishop Michele serves as papal nuncio to the French court. Gian Matteo is honoured with portraits in the Palazzo Ducale and several book dedications, but he reluctantly declines two prestigious posts because of ill health and dies in June 1570 at the age of seventy-nine. His will, omitting one son, leads to prolonged litigation. The Turks take Cyprus in 1571 and Michele fortifies the castle in Ceneda. As the threat recedes, he enjoys country life. Venice stages the triumphal entry of the new French king Henri III, but suffers two devastating fires in the Palazzo Ducale, and the worst plague in Venetian history.
Fission and Indeterminacy
Authors: Ehring Douglas 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
In Chapter 3, the assumption that facts about personal identity are always fully determinate is put to one side so as to consider mappings of identity onto fission according to which it is indeterminate that the fissioner is identical to each fission product. In this chapter, the suggestion that what matters in survival is a relation that is “identity-based” but compatible with such indeterminacy is examined and rejected. In addition, an alternate claim is discussed according to which it is indeterminate, but nearly true that fissioner is identical to each fission product and it is that nearness to identity that really matters. This claim is rejected. It is concluded that identity and “identity-based” relations do not matter in fission.
Chariton and Latin Elegy I
Authors: Jolowicz Daniel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Chapter 1 establishes Latin love elegy (especially Propertius) as an important frame of reference for Chariton, and explores a number of characteristics (lexical and thematic) that all constitute an extreme or ‘totalizing’ attitude towards love on the part of the lover. Section 1.2 addresses the language of wholeness and exclusion (ὅλος and μόνος; totus and solus) on display in Chariton and elegy, which is suggestive of a direct link. Section 1.3 approaches the conceptual analogy between love and death in Chariton and elegy, and argues that Chariton looks to the Latin poets for his characterization of Chaereas and Dionysius as obsessed with death and erotically motivated thoughts of suicide (especially in connection with the lover who imagines his own funeral). Section 1.4 similarly approaches the characters of Chaereas and Dionysius as susceptible to overwhelming jealousy, the quintessential ‘elegiac passion’; as well as a number of Propertian poems, this section also argues for an extended allusion to Ovid’s treatment of the Procris and Cephalus myth as narrated in Ars 3 and the Metamorphoses. Thematic proximities between Chariton and the Latin poets are supported by strikingly close points of verbal contact.
Chariton and Latin Elegy II
Authors: Jolowicz Daniel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Chapter 2 establishes Ovid’s Heroides, Tristia, and Epistulae ex Ponto as central to a number of specific features of Chariton’s novel (especially the embedded letters). Section 2.2 focuses on the Heroides and the following epistolary motifs: the processes of composition and reception; the presence of tears; the recognition of handwriting; the role of memory and possessive adjectives; and the eroticization of the letter’s materiality. These contribute to the characterization of Chaereas and Dionysius as lamenting and abandoned heroines. Section 2.3 argues that Chariton has digested a number of motifs that characterize the exilic persona in Ovid’s Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto, such as the role of finger rings and various psychosocial neuroses. As in Chapter 1, thematic proximities between Chariton and the elegiac corpus are supported by strikingly close points of verbal contact.
Chariton and Vergil’s Aeneid
Authors: Jolowicz Daniel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Chapter 3 develops a case for Chariton’s engagement with Vergil’s Aeneid. This is on a number of fronts, and argues that Chariton latches onto a cluster of phenomena in Vergil that fall under the rubric of ‘simulacral presences’. Section 3.2 explores dreams or dreamlike apparitions of dead or thought-to-be-dead spouses (Dionysius’ wife; Chaereas; Creusa; Sychaeus). Section 3.3 reads Callirhoe, and her relations with her previous and present husbands, Chaereas and Dionysius, in connection with Dido as a univira and the obligations owed to the ghost of her husband, Sychaeus. Sections 3.4 and 3.5 discuss the role of imitations (in connection with Chaereas’ funeral statue and the image on Callirhoe’s finger ring, and the miniature Troy, Buthrotum, in Aeneid 3), and other modes of reproducing the physical presence of absent loved ones (children; effigies). In connection with death, Section 3.6 revisits Chaereas’ attempted suicide by hanging (also addressed in Section 1.3) in relation to Dido’s suttee and subsequent appearance in the Underworld. Section 3.7 briefly illuminates King Artaxerxes as modelled on Queen Dido.
Achilles Tatius and Latin Elegy
Authors: Jolowicz Daniel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Chapter 4 establishes the multiple connections between Achilles and Latin love elegy (especially Ovid), which he mobilizes as a principal weapon in his redefinition of the novelistic genre. This is especially in the first two books (during which time Clitophon attempts to seduce Leucippe), but also implicates the ‘antagonists’ Melite, Thersander, and Callisthenes. Section 4.2 demonstrates the importance of the contemptor amoris theme (as represented especially in Propertius 1.7 and 1.9). Sections 4.3, 4.3.1, and 4.4 establish the erotodidactic credentials of Clinias as they relate to elegy (4.4 focusing explicitly on the theme of consent), while Sections 4.5 and 4.6 do the same for Clitophon’s slave, Satyrus (with Section 4.6 focusing on the metaphor of servitium amoris). Section 4.7 homes in on the role of vision in the novel’s symposia and those in elegy (especially Heroides 16-17). Section 4.8 draws a connection between the way Achilles and Ovid aestheticize (and even eroticize) female distress (embodied in tears and fears). Section 4.9 focuses on the idea of love as a type of ‘theft’, and kisses as alienable possessions, in Achilles and elegy (Tibullus is prominent here). Section 4.10 is an extended reading of Clitophon’s refusal to have sex with Leucippe as modelled on Ovid’s description of a bout of impotence in Amores 3.7.
Conclusion
Authors: Jolowicz Daniel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The conclusion offers some final thoughts on the question pursued in this monograph, namely the Greek novelists’ engagement with Latin poetry, and what this means for how we model Graeco-Roman relations in the imperial period. It summarizes the findings of Chapters 1–7 and places them side by side in a way that clarifies how the different novelists approach the institution of Latin literature. At least for the three authors in question (Chariton, Achilles Tatius, Longus), the approach to Latin poetry is systematic rather than piecemeal. Allusion to Latin poetry is often playful, and occasionally ideological and potentially subversive (for example, Longus and the Aeneid). The conclusion also addresses the sociological problem of Greek imperial engagement with Latin literature: Greek literary men of the first two centuries ce were, it is suggested, habituated to practices that ensured the preservation of the Greek literary system as it stood. Failure to acknowledge the existence of a Latin poetic tradition in an overt manner served as one way of controlling the literary system.
Epistemic WAMs
Authors: Simion Mona 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter looks into the feasibility of preserving the independence of epistemically proper thought from practical considerations via the second horn of the Shiftiness Dilemma. For people who like Classical Invariantism about knowledge attributions, the jump from variation in assertability with stakes to contextualism or pragmatic encroachment seemed rushed. As such, these authors venture to account for the Shiftiness Intuition under a Classical Invariantist umbrella by arguing for context sensitivity of proper assertability. This chapter argues that the view fails on prior plausibility due to being incompatible with the following highly uncontroversial value-theoretic claim: norms of type X are associated with values of type X.
Assertion Functionalism and Context
Authors: Simion Mona 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter shows how to reconcile Classical Invariantism with the Knowledge Norm of Assertion. My basic proposal is that we can combine invariantism with a functionalist account of assertion: according to the account I favour, assertion is governed by a knowledge norm in virtue of its epistemic function of generating testimonial knowledge. Requirements generated by other functions of assertion, though, such as its prudential function, can override the constraints imposed by the epistemic function, and render the knowledge requirement either too strong or too weak for all-things-considered permissible assertion. All-things-considered permissible assertion can vary with practical stakes; epistemically permissible assertion does not.
No Special Treatment for the Epistemic Normativity of Telling
Authors: Simion Mona 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
While recent years have featured a vast amount of literature concerned with the epistemic norm for assertion, comparatively little attention has been paid to the corresponding norm governing acts of telling. One plausible explanation of this is that people have generally taken assertion and telling to fall under the same normative constraints. Recent work, however, ventures to show (i) that this assumption is false and (ii) that the epistemic propriety of instances of telling partly depends on what’s at stake for the hearer. This chapter argues that the case against normative commonality for assertion and telling fails due to speech act-theoretic and value-theoretic inaccuracies. In a nutshell, the chapter argues that there’s nothing special about the epistemic normativity of telling.
Combinatorial Physics
Authors: Tanasa Adrian 
Published: May 2021

AbstractAfter briefly presenting (for the physicist) some notions frequently used in combinatorics (such as graphs or combinatorial maps) and after briefly presenting (for the combinatorialist) the main concepts of quantum field theory (QFT), the book shows how algebraic combinatorics can be used to deal with perturbative renormalisation (both in commutative and non-commutative quantum field theory), how analytic combinatorics can be used for QFT issues (again, for both commutative and non-commutative QFT), how Grassmann integrals (frequently used in QFT) can be used to proCve new combinatorial identities (generalizing the Lindström–Gessel–Viennot formula), how combinatorial QFT can bring a new insight on the celebrated Jacobian conjecture (which concerns global invertibility of polynomial systems) and so on. In the second part of the book, matrix models, and tensor models are presented to the reader as QFT models. Several tensor model results (such as the implementation of the large N limit and of the double-scaling limit for various such tensor models, N being here the size of the tensor) are then exposed. These results are natural generalizations of results extensively used by theoretical physicists in the study of matrix models and they are obtained through intensive use of combinatorial techniques (this time mainly enumerative techniques). The last part of the book is dedicated to the recently discovered relation between tensor models and the holographic Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model, model which has been extensively studied in the last years by condensed matter and by high-energy physicists.
Analytic combinatorics and QFT
Authors: Tanasa Adrian 
Published: May 2021

AbstractIn this chapter we present how several analytic techniques, often used in combinatorics, appear naturally in various QFT issues. In the first section we show how one can use the Mellin transform technique to re-express Feynman integrals in a useful way for the mathematical physicist. Finally, we briefly present how the saddle point approximation technique can be also used in QFT. The first phrase of Philippe Flajolet and Robert Sedgewick's encyclopaedic book on analytic combinatorics gives the reader a first glimpse of what analytic combinatorics deals. In the following chapter, we present how several analytic techniques, often used in combinatorics,appear naturally in various QFT issues.
Algebraic combinatorics and QFT
Authors: Tanasa Adrian 
Published: May 2021

AbstractWe have seen in the previous chapter some of the non-trivial interplay between analytic combinatorics and QFT. In this chapter, we illustrate how yet another branch of combinatorics, algebraic combinatorics, interferes with QFT. In this chapter, after a brief algebraic reminder in the first section, we introduce in the second section the Connes–Kreimer Hopf algebra of Feynman graphs and we show its relation with the combinatorics of QFT perturbative renormalization. We then study the algebra's Hochschild cohomology in relation with the combinatorial Dyson–Schwinger equation in QFT. In the fourth section we present a Hopf algebraic description of the so-called multi-scale renormalization (the multi-scale approach to the perturbative renormalization being the starting point for the constructive renormalization programme).
From random matrices to random tensors
Authors: Tanasa Adrian 
Published: May 2021

AbstractAfter a brief presentation of random matrices as a random surface QFT approach to 2D quantum gravity, we focus on two crucial mathematical physics results: the implementation of the large N limit (N being here the size of the matrix) and of the double-scaling mechanism for matrix models. It is worth emphasizing that, in the large N limit, it is the planar surfaces which dominate. In the third section of the chapter we introduce tensor models, seen as a natural generalization, in dimension higher than two, of matrix models. The last section of the chapter presents a potential generalisation of the Bollobás–Riordan polynomial for tensor graphs (which are the Feynman graphs of the perturbative expansion of QFT tensor models).
‘Infinite Kindness’
Authors: McDonagh Josephine 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
A new kind of topographical writing about English village life in the 1820s established conventions for writing about provincialism that would be widely adopted in Anglophone writing throughout the century. Invented by the writer Mary Russell Mitford as a response to her financial precarity, it consisted of short, inconsequential narratives about places and characters in her own village, linked by a female narrative voice distinctive for its intimate mode of address. Despite appearing to be nostalgic in its representation of village life, this style of writing constituted a complex and significant response to global modernity and the kinds of mobility that it brought. It introduced a mode of long-distance intimacy which appealed to readers and writers who had made transoceanic journeys, and represented a way of inhabiting village space as though it were a new settlement. Published serially in a magazine, the stories were frequently reprinted. They were pirated in America, where Mitford nurtured an enthusiastic following through developing a personal network of correspondents. Her relationship with the American publisher J. T. Fields, was mutually beneficial in developing lucrative new readerships for her work, and in helping to consolidate Ticknor and Fields’s position at the forefront of the American book trade. Mitford’s village provided a frame in which to imagine transatlantic literary culture. Between the 1820s and the 1850s, the idea of the literary village transformed from being a place of fugitive living to a conservative and conserving idea of transatlantic accord in the context of settler colonialism.
George Eliot’s Provincial Novels
Authors: McDonagh Josephine 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The formal innovations in George Eliot’s late work Daniel Deronda transform the style and shape of the provincial novel, the genre she perfected in earlier works. These changes reflect a new way of thinking about mobility and space which derives from the conditions of late nineteenth-century imperialism and the ideology of ‘Greater Britain’. Emigration is central to this. The population of Britons settled in overseas colonies over the century by now constitutes a significant world-wide economic and political force. Concerted political and cultural efforts to consolidate this dispersed group were part of imperialist efforts to exert British domination across the globe. In the novel, white settler emigration is evident in the background, but the spotlight falls instead on Daniel’s Jewish emigration to Palestine. Developing a comparative method borrowed from contemporary historian Henry Maine, Eliot compares different styles of emigration, and in this strikingly anti-semitic work exposes the racism and oppressive power dynamics implicit in white settler ideology. Daniel Deronda’s complex engagement with Jewish theology transforms emigration into a reparative and utopian vision of world renewal. In the novel, Eliot revises formal components of her earlier provincial novels that relied on an underlying rhythm of movement and stasis, by introducing a new kinetic imaginary that emphasizes movement, exile, and dispersal. Eliot’s utopian vision, however, is short lived, and under pressure of the contradictions of a critique of imperialism that repeats many of its own structures, in her final work her formal innovations collapse into a series of mere character studies, and her political ideals slump into cynicism.
The Concept of an International Organization in International Law
Authors: Gasbarri Lorenzo 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Despite their exponential growth in number and activities, international law lacks a comprehensive legal concept of an international organization. The book tackles this topic from the perspective of the legal nature of the legal systems developed by international organizations. It is the first comprehensive study of the different concepts under which international organizations’ legal systems are commonly understood: functionalism, constitutionalism, exceptionalism, informalism. It has a threefold purpose: to trace the historical origins of the different concepts of an international organization, to describe four families under which these different notions are subsumed, and to propose a theory which defines international organizations as ‘dual entities’. The concept of an international organization is defined looking at the nature of the legal systems they develop. The notion of ‘dual legal nature’ describes how organizations create particular legal systems that derive from international law. This peculiar condition affects the law they produce, which is international and internal at the same time. This conceptualization allows the development of a common legal framework applicable to all international organizations, despite their differences in terms of powers, membership, size, and other descriptive features. In particular, the most valuable consequence of this conceptualization is to rebut a frequent argumentative motif, under which organizations are either perceived as vehicles for member states’ interests or as autonomous entities. The effects of the dual legal nature are discussed, analysing international responsibility, the law of treaties, and the validity of organizations’ acts.
Exceptionalism
Authors: Gasbarri Lorenzo 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Exceptionalist conceptualizations are grounded on the belief that certain institutions develop differently from others, and consequently, the same international regulatory framework cannot apply to all: member states are agents or third parties depending on the organization; the rules are internal or international depending on the organization; the institutional veil is characterized in degrees of transparency depending on the organization; the autonomy of the organization is a matter of degrees; the conduct of a member state acting in the institutional forum can be relevant as a matter of international law depending on the organization; organizations are very different entities depending on descriptive elements, such as their level of integration or their geographical scope. This chapter describes the historical roots of this theory and later explains why the rules are either perceived as international or as internal law depending on the organization. The theory is rebutted examining the exceptionalism of the EU and of the OSCE.
Interim Conclusions
Authors: Gasbarri Lorenzo 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter summarizes the previous findings and exposes the false dichotomies that led to the proliferation of the different conceptualizations. It shows how the four conceptualizations can be applied to a legal dispute concerning the responsibility of an international organization. In particular, it discusses the Al-Dulimi case before the European Court of Human Rights. The circumstances of the case prompt the adoption of one or the other conceptualization on the basis of the argumentative strategy. The analysis highlights the difficulties in providing a general legal framework to establish the responsibility of international organizations and/or of their member states. The chapter is divided into two subsections, focusing on the admissibility and the merits of the Al-Dulimi case. It concludes that the adoption of an international legal framework applicable to all international organizations is subject to the possibility to rebut limited perspectives and to adopt an ‘absolute point of view’.
A Venture into Legal Theory
Authors: Gasbarri Lorenzo 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter presents a novel theory on the concept of an international organization. It discusses the meaning of legal systems in legal pluralism, against the background of the fragmentation of international law and interlegality. It relies on the analytical theory of Hart and the institutionalism of Santi Romano. Two notions are applied to international organizations: relative/absolute legality and original/derived legal systems. The absolute legality of the rules of international organizations is a combination of the derivative nature of the legal system that produces them and the point of view of the legal system in which the rules are implemented. The conclusion is that international organizations are dual entities: ‘international organization means an institution established by a treaty or other instrument governed by international law and capable of creating a legal system which derives from international law and that produces law which is at the same time internal and international’.
