Sinners in the Presence of a Loving God
Authors: Manis R. Zachary 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This book is a philosophical exploration of the various facets of the problem of hell, the reasons that the usual responses to the problem are unsatisfying, and the way that an adequate solution to the problem can be constructed. What drives discussion of the problem of hell, most fundamentally, is the question of why a perfectly good and loving God would consign anyone to eternal suffering in hell. Four main lines of response have been developed to answer it—viz., traditionalism, annihilationism, the choice model, and universalism—but, for different reasons, each of these standard options ends up being deficient in some crucial respect. The alternative view that the author defends in this book, the divine presence model, stands within the tradition that understands hell to be a state of eternal conscious suffering, but develops this idea in a way that is able to avoid the worst problems of its counterparts. The key idea is that the suffering of hell is not the result of any divine act that aims to inflict it, but rather the way that a sinful creature necessarily experiences the unmitigated presence of a holy God. Heaven and hell are not two “places” to which the saved and damned are consigned, respectively, but instead are two radically different ways that different persons will experience the same reality of God’s omnipresence once the barrier of divine hiddenness is finally removed.
Gambling with Violence
Authors: Biberman Yelena 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
State outsourcing of violence to nonstate actors is a global practice that challenges our notions of legitimate warfare, statehood, and citizenship. It matters for counterinsurgency, civil war outcomes, the humane treatment of civilians and former combatants, and the prospects of post-conflict peace. In South Asia, the use of nonstate proxies is deeply entwined with questions of state fragility, the postcolonial social contract, and the rivalry between two nuclear powers. This book explains the origins of state-nonstate alliances in times of civil war. A new balance-of-interests framework is generated through systematic fine-grained analyses of violence outsourcing by Pakistan and India in Kashmir, East Pakistan/Bangladesh, and their respective tribal belts. Central to this framework are the distribution of power inside the theater of war and varied interests of both the state and the nonstate actors. The cases drawn from Pakistan and India demonstrate how different configurations of local power and actors’ priorities result in distinct alliance patterns. The potential applicability of the balance-of-interests approach beyond South Asia is then demonstrated with analyses of Russia’s counterinsurgencies in Chechnya and Turkey’s operations against Kurdish rebels. The book builds on and contributes to the existing scholarship on civil war and counterinsurgency, in particular the burgeoning literature on militias, alliances, and South Asian security.
Privilege at Play
Authors: Cerón-Anaya Hugo 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Privilege at Play is a book about inequalities, social hierarchies, and privilege in contemporary Mexico. Based on ethnographic research conducted in exclusive golf clubs and in-depth interviews with upper-middle-class and upper-class golfers, as well as working-class employees, the book focuses on the class, racial, and gender dynamics that underpin privilege. This study makes use of rich qualitative data to demonstrate how social hierarchies are relations reproduced through a multitude of everyday practices. The vast disparities between club members and workers, for example, are built on traditional class indicators, such as wealth, and on more subtle expressions of class, such as notions of fashion, sense of humor, perceptions about competition, and everyday oral interactions. The book incorporates race and gender perspectives into the study of inequalities, illustrating the multilayer condition of privilege. Although Mexicans commonly attributed racial relations a marginal role in the continuation of inequities, the book explains how affluent individuals frequently express racialized ideas to describe and justify the impoverished condition of workers. In doing so, Privilege at Play demonstrates the necessity of considering the role of racialized dynamics when studying social inequalities in Mexico. An analysis of gender relations shows how men maintain a dominant position over their fellow female golfers despite the similar upper-class origins of both male and female golf club members. This book pays particular attention to the spatial dynamics that reinforce social inequalities, arguing that the apparent triviality of space makes it a highly effective way to mark social inequalities and, hence, emphasize privilege.
Aquinas and the Metaphysics of Creation
Authors: Kerr Gaven 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This work explores St Thomas Aquinas’s metaphysics of creation. In doing so, it explores the thinking on creation of Aquinas’s predecessors, the nature of God as creator, the meaning of creation, how to conceive of the causality of creation, and the object, history, and purpose of creation. What emerges as a key unifying theme in Aquinas’s thinking in this regard is the complete and utter dependence of all things on God as the unique source of existence. This notion serves not only to advance Aquinas’s position beyond those of his predecessors but also to illuminate his treatments of creation across his works. The result is a unified account of Aquinas’s metaphysics of creation now available for the contemporary reader.
Opting for the Best
Authors: Portmore Douglas W. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter argues for the opting-for-the-best view: the view that, for any subject S and any member ϕ of a certain subset of S’s options, S ought to ϕ if and only if ϕ is the best member of this subset in terms of whatever ultimately matters. It’s argued that we need to restrict ourselves to a subset of the subject’s options because of the problem of act versions. This problem arises in the following sort of case. One’s best option is to kiss one’s partner passionately. Kissing her nonpassionately would be disastrous. Indeed, it would be better not to kiss her at all. But, unfortunately, if you were to kiss her, you would do so nonpassionately. Should you kiss her? Of course, you have to kiss her to kiss her passionately, which is your best option. But kissing her would result in your kissing her nonpassionately, which is your worst option.
Melchizedek, King of Sodom
Authors: Cargill Robert R. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This book argues that the biblical figure Melchizedek mentioned in Gen. 14 as the king of Shalem originally appeared in the text as the king of Sodom. Textual evidence is presented to demonstrate that the word סדם (Sodom) was changed to שׁלם (Shalem) in order to avoid depicting the patriarch Abram as receiving a blessing and goods from the king of Sodom, whose city was soon thereafter destroyed for its sinfulness according to the biblical tradition. This change from Sodom to Shalem caused a disjointed narrative in Gen. 14:18–20, which many scholars have wrongly attributed to a later interpolation. This book also provides textual evidence of minor, strategic redactional changes to the Hebrew Bible and the Samaritan Pentateuch that demonstrate the evolving, polemical, sectarian discourse between Jews and Samaritans as they were competing for the superiority of their respective temples and holy mountains. These minor strategic changes to the HB were used as the ideological motivation in the Second Temple Jewish literary tradition for the relocation of Shalem away from the Samaritan religious center at Mt. Gerizim to the Levitical priestly center in Jerusalem. This book also examines how the possible reference to Melchizedek in Ps. 110 may have influenced later Judaism’s understanding of Melchizedek.
Serial Encounters
Authors: Hutton Clare 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
James Joyce’s Ulysses was first published in New York in the Little Review between 1918 and 1920. What kind of reception did it have and how does the serial version of the text differ from the version most readers know, the iconic volume edition published in Paris in 1922 by Shakespeare and Company? Joyce prepared much of Ulysses for serial publication while resident in Zurich between 1915 and 1919. This original study, which is based on sustained archival research, goes behind the scenes in Zurich and New York to recover long-forgotten facts pertinent to the writing, reception, and interpretation of Ulysses. The Little Review serialization of Ulysses proved controversial from the outset and was ultimately stopped before Joyce had completed the work. The New York Society for the Suppression of Vice took successful legal action against the journal’s editors, on the grounds that the final instalment of the thirteenth chapter of Ulysses was obscene. This triumph of the social purity movement had far-reaching repercussions for Joyce’s subsequent publishing history, and for his ongoing efforts in composing Ulysses. After chapters of contextual literary history, the study moves on to consider the textual significance of the serialization. It breaks new ground in Joycean scholarship by paying critical attention to Ulysses as a serial text. It concludes by examining the myriad ways in which Joyce revised and augmented Ulysses while resident in Paris, showing how Joyce made Ulysses more sexually suggestive and overt in explicit response to its legal reception in New York.
Introduction
Authors: Hutton Clare 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This introductory chapter introduces the key facts in the publication history of Ulysses, including the key events behind the serialization of the text in the Little Review between 1918 and 1920. It discusses the ways in which errors entered Joyce’s text and looks, briefly, at the editorial rationale and controversy of Hans Walter Gabler’s Critical and Synoptic Edition of Ulysses (1984). This introductory chapter also provides a summary of the study’s four-chapter structure and states the key argument of the book: that the serialization of Ulysses is of critical, contextual, and genetic significance for the interpretation of the work as a whole.
Elegy Unrestored
Authors: James David 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Showing how elegy thrives as vibrantly in contemporary narrative as in its natural habitat of poetry, Chapter 3 reads two grief-memoirs—Julian Barnes’s Levels of Life (2013) and Helen Macdonald’s H is for Hawk (2014)—alongside Colm Tóibín’s 2014 historical (and implicitly autobiographical) novel, Nora Webster. Together they ask not only whether grief’s intricacies can ever be captured in language but also whether the quest for such a language reaches for aesthetic consolations of its own, setting up an internal competition in these works between bereavement’s ingenious description and the proviso of inexpressibility that elegies often thematize. The chapter revisits critical accounts of elegy as a genre that has traditionally fostered solace, in order to show how Barnes, Macdonald, and Tóibín intensify elegy’s reflexivity and its capacity to resist the simplification of consolation itself as a flimsy remedy bent on resolution.
The Religion of Style
Authors: James David 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 4 brings together two strikingly different novels that exhibit comparable modes of proleptic mourning: Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead (2004) and J. M. Coetzee’s Age of Iron (1990). Their plots sketch preparations for mortality, testing consolation’s sufficiency without stripping its contribution to the role fiction can ‘play’ in what Paul Ricoeur calls ‘the apprenticeship of dying’. Testaments to what writing itself might conserve in advance of what cannot be altered, these epistolary fictions of expectation place the perceived consolations of religion in critical conversation with the ethically contestable consolations of style. They confirm Ricoeur’s warning that when ‘consolation’ emerges in fiction, ‘one must not cry self-delusion too hastily’, even if the unpicking of self-delusion is part of a novel’s economy of affect—as Disgrace (1999), the chapter’s third selection, powerfully exemplifies, a work that interrogates its own redemptive language of the soul at a juncture for South African culture characterized by pervasive disappointment and the irreparable pain of apartheid’s legacy.
Music as affective scaffolding
Authors: Krueger Joel 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
For 4E cognitive science, minds are embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended. Proponents observe that we regularly ‘offload’ our thinking onto body and world: we use gestures and calculators to augment mathematical reasoning, and smartphones and search engines as memory aids. This chapter argues that music is a ‘beyond-the-head’ resource that affords offloading. Via this offloading, music scaffolds access to new forms of thought, experience, and behaviour. The chapter focuses on music’s capacity to scaffold emotional consciousness, including the self-regulative processes constitutive of emotional consciousness. In developing this idea, the chapter considers the ‘material’ and ‘worldmaking’ character of music, applying these considerations to two case studies: music as a tool for religious worship, and music as a weapon for torture.
Performative passivity: Lessons on phenomenology and the extended musical mind with the Danish String Quartet
Authors: Høffding Simon 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Based on interviews with the Danish String Quartet, this chapter points to limitations in the philosophical literature that construes musical absorption primarily as involving various forms of reflective and pre-reflective self-awareness. It then shows the paradigmatic experience of musical absorption as being expressed in statements such as ‘It wasn’t I who played the music’ or ‘The music played/came by itself’. To understand this type of experience, the chapter presents a new framework of ‘performative passivity’, relying on an analysis of the Husserlian notion of passivity or passive synthesis. Finally, it shows how the body, the performer’s emotions, and the nature of the performed music are centrally involved in performative passivity.
Absorption and openness to experience: An everyday tale of traits, states, and consciousness change with music
Authors: Herbert Ruth 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In what ways may individual differences in personality, age, and training shape subjective experiences with and of music? And how far is it possible to determine whether particular personality characteristics may predict the capacity for certain subtle shifts of consciousness such as episodes of spontaneous, effortless involvement? This chapter examines the construct of openness (the fifth and most variably defined ‘Big Five’ dimension) and the associated subconstruct of absorption, both of which have attracted increasing attention from researchers in the last five years. Drawing on a subset of findings from a mixed-methods study of 10–18 year olds’ involvement in music in daily life, the chapter outlines what trait and state models can and cannot reveal about the phenomenology of musical consciousness.
Crystallizing the relationship between adolescents, music, and emotions
Authors: McFerran Katrina 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The ways that young people use music to work with emotions is impressively diverse and difficult to box into categories of good and bad, helpful and unhelpful. The intersection of where, when, and why the young person is using music is further complicated by what music, what associations, and what conscious and unconscious intentions the young person has. This introductory chapter canvasses the vast landscape of music, adolescents, and emotions, using the lens of crystallization to consider the different perspectives offered by young people, music therapists, and music psychologists. The result is a rich and varied picture that places agency in the hands of the young person and encourages all caring adults to engage with the multiple possibilities that music affords.
Between down in the dumps and over the moon: Music therapy for young people with depression
Authors: Geipel Josephine 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter introduces a music therapy treatment manual for depressed young people with an emphasis on emotion regulation that is descriptively explained using illustrative examples. A short overview on the current state of research and on treatment approaches for children and adolescents with depression is provided. Recent research that supports the hypothesis of depression mainly being a disorder of emotion regulation involving severe mood disturbances is described. Furthermore, a strong association between music processing and emotion regulation is identified. Since listening to music and associated activities are of major importance to young people, a treatment manual tailored to integrating findings from current music therapy practice and research was developed. The focus of the manual is mainly on stabilization, improvement of emotion regulation, and working on interpersonal relationships, integrating interventions such as playlist creation, improvisation, songwriting, and mindful music listening.
Personality traits and music in adolescence
Authors: Miranda Dave 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
For centuries, and across cultures, people have wondered what kind of relationship there is between music and human nature. A personality psychology perspective may address this fundamental question on music by considering that personality traits are dispositions that constitute part of human nature. Hence, the classic question about how music is associated with human nature may at least in part be answered by examining if and how personality traits and music are interrelated. The objective of this chapter is to review the recent literature on personality traits and music in adolescence, with an eye on wellbeing. The first part discusses possible interrelations between personality traits and music listening. The second part considers putative relationships between personality traits and music making. Research directions are briefly outlined.
Musical preference and social identity in adolescence
Authors: Lamont Alexandra , Hargreaves David 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The idea that a ‘musicianship of listening’ might exist alongside the more conventional notion of musicianship based on composition, improvisation, and performance forms the starting point of our analysis of the importance and function of musical preferences in adolescence. We consider adolescents’ musical preferences, a key part of their social identities, in the context of broader lifespan changes in musical preference, looking in particular at the explanatory power of the notion of ‘open-earedness’. We consider the main psychological theories of adolescent musical preference, distinguishing between those based on social identity theory and those which adopt different sociocultural approaches. There can be no doubt that musical preferences form a central part of the identities of many adolescents, and that the notion of a musicianship of listening can help explain why these preferences are integral to their social relationships and wellbeing.
‘Forever piping songs forever new’: The musical teenager and musical inner teenager across the life course
Authors: Nora Tia De 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Age is a flexible construction. It takes shape in relation to a social distribution of cultural resources for the configuration of age-specific identities. It is spatially and temporally produced. This chapter describes how musical engagement can produce anachronistic enactments of age-linked categories. Studying the ways that music is appropriated for this purpose highlights age-banded categories—adolescence included—as identity performances, constituted through musical practices, tastes, listening habits, and engagement. Music can also facilitate anachronistic age identities and these may offer developmental opportunities as well as opportunities for asylum (shelter from distressing features of daily life). This chapter explores how ‘reverting’ to adolescent musical practices and tastes affords the identity performance of the ‘inner teen’. It concludes that using music for age-band travel can be catalytic for major life change as well as for smaller processes of adaptation and coping.
Entangled musical lives: Affordances of spaces in young people’s music engagement for connectedness and wellbeing
Authors: O’Neill Susan A. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The affordances of spaces in young people’s music engagement through which they derive a sense of connectedness and wellbeing are explored in this chapter. Specifically, the chapter examines how the material, relational, and multimodal nature of young people’s music engagement (referred to here as entangled musical lives) promotes connectedness and wellbeing within physical, virtual, and hybrid life spaces. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from new materialism and multiliteracies, which allow for the interdisciplinary study of two dimensions of music making in their entanglement—meaning and materiality—this chapter offers insights into how music, connectedness, and wellbeing might be conceptualized as an enactment of possibilities for reconfiguring this complex entanglement. Applying these insights to our understanding of how young people navigate and negotiate musical spaces can help us to understand and reassert music and materiality into the embodied practices of young people’s music engagement.
Globalizing adolescence: Digital music cultures and music therapy
Authors: Viega Michael 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, digital technology has connected adolescents to a global youth culture that subverts and bypasses traditional means of consuming music. In health-related contexts, adolescents can use digital tools to sample, edit, layer, manipulate, and record their own soundscapes, which allows them to have agency over their own narratives and share them with others. Concurrently, therapists acquire empathy for the lived experience of an adolescent by understanding the use of, and attuning to, the digital production components of songs used and created in therapy. Using the author’s first-person experience with digital technology and adolescents in music therapy, this chapter investigates the evolving role of digital music and media for both adolescents and therapists, exploring the ways it can (re)connect youth to a global community and have their voices heard.
Health in humanitarian crises
Authors: Toole Mike 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The number of refugees and other displaced people, worldwide, is now at its highest level since World War II. Specific health considerations for those who are caught up in humanitarian crisis situations, most commonly conflict and post-conflict settings, are the subject of this chapter. The author outlines the common causes of morbidity and mortality and the range of medical specializations required to meet the health needs. The chapter highlights the risk of re-emergence of infectious disease epidemics due to poor living conditions and the vulnerabilities of different population groups to disease, poor health, and malnutrition. The chapter concludes with a summary of the best practice guidance and health service packages to employ during refugee crises.
