Recollection in the Republics
Authors: Peck Imogen 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Following the execution of Charles I in January 1649, England’s fledgling republic was faced with a dilemma: which parts of the nation’s bloody recent past should be remembered, and how, and which were best consigned to oblivion? Across the country, the state’s opponents, local communities, and individual citizens were grappling with many of the same questions, as calls for remembrance vied with the competing goals of reconciliation, security, and the peaceful settlement of the state. Recollection in the Republics provides the first comprehensive study of the ways Britain’s Civil Wars were remembered in the decade between the regicide and the restoration. Drawing on a wide-ranging and innovative source base, it places the national authorities’ attempts to shape the meaning of the recent past alongside evidence of what the English people—lords and labourers, men and women, veterans and civilians—actually were remembering. It demonstrates that memories of the domestic conflicts were central to the politics and society of the republican interval, inflecting national and local discourses, complicating and transforming interpersonal relationships, and infusing and forging individual and collective identities. In so doing, it enhances our understanding of the nature of early modern memory and the experience of post-civil war states more broadly. Described as ‘ground breaking’ and an ‘intellectually brilliant’ work by ‘one of the outstanding talents of her generation’, Recollection in the Republics makes a major contribution to the fields of both early modern history and memory studies.
Rival Recollections
Authors: Peck Imogen 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter explores the ways in which the republics’ opponents sought to propagate their own, alternative interpretations of Britain’s domestic conflicts. The first two sections focus on different facets of Royalist memory, while the third section examines the ways memory was deployed by some of the Parliament’s former allies, with an emphasis on the Levellers and proponents of the ‘good old cause’. It argues that these counter-narratives had significant implications for the political culture of the 1650s, the shape of public memory after 1660, and the Restoration settlement. It also shows that though there were significant recurring themes in opposition memory these groups were broad churches, and suggests that an appreciation of the subtle differences in manifestations of memory reveals some of the fissures which existed within these groups, both ideologically and temporally.
Narratives of War
Authors: Peck Imogen 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter explores the ways in which individuals narrated, structured, and recalled their own wartime experiences, and those of their family. The first section analyses the military memoirs of two Royalist commanders, Sir Hugh Cholmley and Sir Richard Grenville. The second and third sections draw on the war stories contained in the petitions of maimed Parliamentarian soldiers and war widows. It argues that, in all three cases, subjects were principally concerned with curating an account of their wartime experiences that would reconcile the events of the past with their present identity, a task that combined partial, partisan remembering with a healthy dose of selective amnesia. It also considers the extent to which individual accounts were coloured by public memory, and demonstrates that though historians often make a conceptual distinction between ‘public’ and ‘private’ recollection, the boundary between these two categories was highly porous.
Conclusion
Authors: Peck Imogen 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This conclusion offers an account of the main similarities between the experiences of early modern England and those of modern post-civil war states. It argues that many of the challenges that the republican governments faced have continued to confront states into the twenty-first century, and that, though the shape of a particular post-war settlement is historically contingent, the central issues with which its instigators must wrestle are not as temporally or geographically specific as we might expect. Further, it suggests that this is also true of many of the responses, from the use of amnesties and pardons to martyr narratives and the ‘othering’ of opponents. It provides one of the first transtemporal and transnational comparisons of Civil War memory and, in so doing, attempts to initiate further conversation between scholars of civil war memory across time and space.
The Roads to Rapallo
Authors: Arrington Lauren 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter charts the arrivals of the poets to Rapallo, beginning with Pound and Yeats, and extending to Richard Aldington, Thomas MacGreevy, Basil Bunting, and Louis Zukofsky. It surveys the complex history of Pound and Yeats’s relationship, their individual motivations for going to Italy, and their ideas about Mussolini’s promise as a political and cultural leader.
Thus Mammon Spake
Authors: Hudson Hud 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Even those who endorse the religious worldview underlying the optimism discussed in the first chapter frequently willfully resist the efforts required to cooperate with God and to respond to the demands that love places upon us with respect to God and neighbor. Like the demons in Paradise Lost, many of us are beguiled by the prospect of pursuing our own happiness and well-being (or flourishing) on our own power, of making a Heaven of the Hell that the philosophy of pessimism has taught us is our current abode. Thus many of us adopt the frame of mind in which we are willing to trust in our own powers, skill, artistry, intelligence, and all the magnificent resources of our own selves. No need of God. No loss in rebellion. This chapter defends certain maligned aspects of a popular philosophical methodology and then conducts a critical study of the current leading literature on well-being and happiness. Assuming we can come to have knowledge of these matters, the chapter critically examines and argues against hedonistic, desire-fulfillment, and perfectionistic theories of well-being, advocating instead for an objective-list theory, and critically examines and argues against hedonistic and life-satisfaction theories of happiness, advocating instead for the Psychic Affirmation view. Thus, the attempt to seek out happiness and well-being on our own power without the benefit of reconciliation with the divine need not be thwarted by skepticism about happiness and well-being.
Between Adenauer and Coca-Cola
Authors: von der Goltz Anna 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the experiences of centre-right women and the cultural practices of centre-right students more generally to determine to what extent they participated in the broader cultural moment that was 1968. It examines different forms of cultural expression and everyday aesthetics to investigate whether centre-right activists viewed these as political. It also examines their attitudes towards the evident modernization of sexuality in West Germany in this period. Finally, it puts women’s experiences centre stage. Analysing changing gender roles and centre-right women’s attitudes towards the emerging women’s movement, it seeks to understand why at least some of them thought that emancipation did not have to equal revolution.
From Berlin to Saigon and Back
Authors: von der Goltz Anna 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter argues that centre-right activists had a distinct internationalist imagination. In spite of an ever-growing literature on the Global 1960s, we know surprisingly little about how centre-right activists conceived of the global. This chapter broadens—and ultimately hopes to correct—our view of student internationalism around 1968 by showing that the centre-right also looked beyond the borders of the Federal Republic. It explores three areas on their ‘mental map’ in detail: the powerful ways in which the Cold War binary structured the centre-right’s view of the world; the (Western) European ties of conservative and centre-right student groups; and, finally, their campaigns for human rights in the wake of 1968.
Combative Politics
Authors: von der Goltz Anna 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter examines the shift towards a more confrontational form of campus politics in the wake of the dissolution of SDS in 1969/70, one in which concerns about left-wing violence moved centre-stage. It analyses centre-right students’ roles in some of the key debates of the 1970s—the controversy surrounding the ‘Radicals Decree’, the ‘Mescalero Affair’, and students’ alleged support for the terrorism of the RAF. It argues that Christian Democratic students were instrumental in making a scandal of left-wing activism at a time when a left-wing coalition governed the country for the first time since the war. Centre-right students contributed much to the febrile climate of the 1970s, this chapter shows, stoking public hysteria and helping to create a climate of distrust that made left-wing dissent politically suspect. Their conduct highlights that the process of political liberalization in the wake of 1968 was not a linear but rather a winding one.
Functional networks for peripersonal space coding and prediction of impact to the body
Authors: Cléry Justine , Hamed Suliann Ben 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Peripersonal space is defined as the space surrounding the body, which we can interact with and act upon. It has been hypothesized to play a key functional role in body representation and in the definition of a safety boundary around the body. More recently, growing evidence suggests that this space is dynamically resized both as a function of internal states such as anxiety or as a function of external contingencies such as social interactions or goal-directed actions. In the following review, we will review seminal and recent work in both human and non-human primates, describing the functional cortical networks involved in the coding of body margin (the skin), peripersonal space (around the body) and far space (away from the body), and we will describe how these networks are recruited during the prediction of an impact to the body (near the skin). We will propose a functional perspective to recent evidence for multiple behaviourally dissociable peripersonal spaces, and discuss the putative neuronal and network mechanisms that could account for the observed dynamic resizing of peripersonal space.
What do ‘peripersonal space measures’ really reflect? The action field perspective
Authors: Bufacchi R.J. , Iannetti G.D. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The magnitude of a large number of behavioural and neurophysiological measures depends on the proximity between an individual and environmental objects. This relationship has led to the concept of peripersonal space (PPS). Here we argue that the proximity-dependence of such PPS measures could arise as a result of calculating the relevance of actions that aim to create or avoid contact with objects in the world. This perspective, supported by the interactive behaviour framework of systems-level brain function, allows us to describe PPS as a set of continuous fields reflecting contact-related action relevance. The action relevance perspective gets rid of incorrect notions about PPS, such as it being a single in-or-out zone that mainly reflects the spatial distance between objects and the body. This reconceptualization incorporates PPS into mainstream theories of action selection and behaviour. Furthermore, the formal comparison of this framework to others shows that contact-action value allows for a more complete description of PPS measures than proximity coding, impact prediction, and multisensory integration do, while simultaneously explaining the relationship between those concepts and PPS measures.
Perceptual Experience and Physicalism
Authors: Gow Laura 
Published: May 2021

AbstractAlthough there is much disagreement within the philosophy of perception, there is one thing that the majority of philosophers agree on: our philosophical account of perceptual experience should be compatible with physicalism. The aim of this paper is to explore the impact this has had within the philosophy of perception, and to point out some of the problems a physicalist approach must face. Representationalism is the leading account of perception, and was developed precisely to meet the physicalist’s criteria. This chapter supports and expands on an existing argument that representationalism fails in this aim. It then points out a problem with the new view—non-relationalism—which has arisen as a result of the failure of standard representationalism to qualify as a genuinely physicalist view. Non-relationalist accounts have difficulty doing justice to the idea that our perceptual experiences are assessable for accuracy or veridicality.
Naturalism and the Metaphysics of Perception
Authors: Drayson Zoe 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThis paper focuses on two debates: the Metaphysical debate over intentionalism and naïve realism, and the Psychological debate over constructivist and ecological theories. While these two debates are generally assumed to be orthogonal, it is difficult to specify the grounds for this assumption. The chapter considers the usual strategies for distinguishing between philosophical and scientific theories—such as appeals to modal strength, methodology, or explanatory features—and suggests that they do not apply in this case. It argues that both debates rely on inference to the best explanation to draw contingent conclusions about the constitutive nature of perceptual experience. The chapter also claims that the distinction between personal and subpersonal explanations will not separate the two debates unless we are already committed to the idea that the metaphysics of mind must be conducted at one particular level of explanation. It concludes that the two debates are engaged in the same general project concerning the nature of perception, and that the Psychological theories are no less metaphysical than the Metaphysical theories.
Phenomenology as Radical Reflection
Authors: Ward Dave 
Published: May 2021

AbstractWhat does it mean to adopt a phenomenological approach when doing philosophy of perception? What form should such an approach take? This chapter addresses these questions by first distinguishing three different kinds of phenomenological approach: ‘Humean’ phenomenology, which attempts to discern the structure of perceptual experience via reflection on its surface properties; ‘Kantian’ phenomenology, which aims to provide a priori arguments about the structure perceptual experience must have if it is to possess manifest properties; and ‘Husserlian’ phenomenology, which aims to achieve an intuitive grasp of the essential properties of perceptual experience via imaginative variation. It then argues that the shortcomings of each of these approaches motivate a ‘Merleau-Pontian’ conception of phenomenology as ‘radical reflection’—a mode of reflection on perceptual experience that simultaneously attempts to understand the origins and authority of reflection itself. The methodology that results is thoroughly interdisciplinary, aiming to reconcile philosophical conclusions about the necessary structures of perceptual experience with our best empirical knowledge of the contingencies that shape both our experiences and our reflective capacities.
Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Romdenh-Romluc Komarine 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
A methodology is a theory of method. In asking for a methodology, one wants to know which method(s) we should use for investigating some topic, and why. Merleau-Ponty is a phenomenologist who is famous for his analyses of perception. Phenomenology is not a unified movement—it’s more like a tradition, where figures are linked by historical lineages: the inheritance and taking up of particular themes and ideas. Whilst it explicitly bills itself as having a distinct method, different phenomenologists interpret it in various ways. This chapter explains how Merleau-Ponty understands the phenomenological method, and how he applies it in his study of perception.
Introduction: Telling Stories
Authors: Firnhaber-Baker Justine 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The introduction traces the divide in scholars’ views of the Jacquerie as either a spasmodic explosion or a carefully directed movement, and sets forth the book’s understanding of the revolt as heterogenous and fluid. It introduces the main chronicle and documentary sources for the Jacquerie and discusses their interpretative difficulties, paying specific attention to the problems of retrospection, composition, and the over-representation of some kinds of rebels. The methodology adopted combines the analysis of collective data and the close reading of individual texts in order to tell a story about how individuals reacted to a specific set of circumstances, how events both planned and accidental altered their course, and what and how they chose to remember (or to forget) in its aftermath.
Complaints
Authors: Firnhaber-Baker Justine 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This chapter opens with the background to the Hundred Years War preceding the French defeat and capture of King Jean II at the Battle of Poitiers in September 1356. The first section explains how that defeat fostered hatred of the nobility, and how that opprobrium was transmitted and amplified in learned and popular culture in the years preceding the Jacquerie. The next two sections follow the formation of Étienne Marcel and Robert le Coq’s reform party at the assembly of the Estates General in Paris, and the eventual triumph of their efforts with the Estates’ promulgation of a Grande ordonnance in March 1357. The reformers’ efforts to protect this victory from conservative Valois loyalists led them to make a dangerous alliance with King Charles II of Navarre, a sovereign king unamenable to outside control who possessed many soldiers and a claim to the French throne. Conflict over how to address military insecurity in the countryside to Paris’s west deepened the fissures between the reformers and the Dauphin’s noble councillors, leading Marcel to undertake a spectacularly violent solution.
Noisy Terrors
Authors: Firnhaber-Baker Justine 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Focusing on the violent actions of the Jacques, this chapter shows that the revolt was directed against the nobility as a social group, rather than against the rebels’ lords. Although some chroniclers depicted the Jacques’ violence as inhumanely cruel, accusing them of indiscriminate killing of women and children and gruesome rapes, the judicial sources suggest a much less violent picture. While over two dozen nobles perished at the Jacques’ hands, they were almost exclusively adult men. There is almost no judicial evidence of rape, though given the near certainty of under-reporting, it cannot be ruled out. Property damages, especially the destruction of nobles’ houses and fortresses, was the primary objective of the Jacques’ violence. Some of this was directed against the Dauphin’s partisans, destroying their infrastructural advantage and diverting forces away from an assault on Paris. Some of it, perhaps especially later in the revolt, was directed against supporters of Navarre. But not all Jacques were united behind—or perhaps even aware of—these objectives, and there is evidence of disagreement amongst the rebels over targets and tactics. Much of the violence also had a dimension of social criticism linked to the nobility’s military failures and its members’ conspicuous consumption, and some of it had a festive element, involving dancing and dressing up.
Slaughtered like Pigs
Authors: Firnhaber-Baker Justine 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
With this chapter, the book returns to a chronological structure, following the revolt from around 5 June, when Étienne Marcel’s army probably marched out of Paris to join the Jacques, to the rebels’ double defeats at Meaux and near Mello on 9–10 June. It follows the progress of the Parisian army from Saint-Denis toward Meaux and its leaders’ divisive efforts to punish the reformers’ enemies and to press villagers into service along the way. A new telling of the famous battle at Meaux, where a few dozen noblemen defeated hundreds of commoners, comprises the second section. The latter half of the chapter covers the Jacques’ defeat near Mello and Clermont at the hands of Charles of Navarre. It explains how the battle unfolded, as well as how Charles of Navarre came to be the fatal enemy of the Jacques despite being the ally of the Jacques’ allies in Paris and other cities. Here, again, it is demonstrated that the revolt’s participants had heterogenous, and sometimes conflicting, programmes and that their relationships and objectives shifted over time in response to changing events.
Emergency Response: Navigable Networks and Optimal Routing in Hazardous Indoor Environments
Authors: Zverovich Vadim 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe extreme importance of emergency response in complex buildings during natural and human-induced disasters has been widely acknowledged. This chapter studies algorithms for safest routes and balanced routes in buildings where an extreme event with many epicentres is occurring. In a balanced route, a trade-off between route length and hazard proximity is made. Another algorithm is proposed for finding the optimal indoor routes for search and rescue teams. This is based on a novel approach integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the propagation of hazard and other techniques, and where three criteria are used: hazard proximity, distance/travel time, and route complexity. The important feature of the algorithm is its ability to generate an optimal route depending on the user’s needs. Finally, a novel automated construction of the Variable Density Network (VDN) for determining egress paths in dangerous environments is discussed.
Prologue
Authors: Johnston Jean-Michel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The Prologue reaches back into the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to reveal the deep roots of modern communications networks in German-speaking Central Europe. It highlights the changing role of the state in the development of roads, waterways and postal networks, from the emergence of the post-Westphalian territorial state to the diffusion of cameralist ideas in the following centuries. It considers how communications networks influenced, and were in turn shaped by, changing understandings of the function of exchange in society and the economy. It describes the related, changing context of academic scientific research in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and how the broader circulation of ideas slowly merged with cameralist notions of ‘useful knowledge’ to stimulate technological development.
