Implications of Food Addiction on Stigma
Authors: Puhl Rebecca M. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the implications of food addiction for societal stigma and internalized stigma. As addictions are generally susceptible to negative public stereotypes and stigmatization compared to other illnesses, it is essential to understand the impact of food addiction on stigma, and whether food addiction increases or reduces societal blame and attributions of personal control. To date, these issues have received relatively little research attention, and findings are somewhat mixed. While emerging evidence has documented positive associations between symptoms of food addiction and internalized stigma, empirical research has yielded inconsistent findings for the effect of a food addiction label on external societal stigma, including stigma directed toward people with obesity. Some studies suggest that a food addiction explanation for obesity may reduce attributions of personal blame, while other evidence documents no reductions in stigma. This chapter discusses the current literature and highlights directions for future research to advance this field of study, including a consideration of the language used to describe addictions, which warrants attention in the context of food addiction.
Food and Addiction
Authors: Gearhardt Ashley N. , Brownell Kelly D. , Gold Mark S. , Potenza Marc N. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Since the last edition of the Handbook of Food and Addiction, research on this topic has increased substantially. Evidence is growing the certain foods, particularly highly processed foods with high levels of refined carbohydrates and/or added fats, can trigger addictive processes. Ultra-processed versions of these products may be even more addictive given the addition of flavor enhancers and additives that make them intensely palatable, inexpensive, accessible and highly convenient. We outline in this conclusion chapter what we see as key questions for progressing the science of food and addiction, including a psychopharmacological investigation of highly processed foods (particularly those that are ultra-processed) and further investigation of the ability of these products to engage addictive mechanisms more intensely, particularly in children/adolescents. Social justice issues related to food insecurity and targeted marketing of highly processed foods to racial/ethnic minorities are also considered. Finally, we also discuss what paths are available for reducing the harm associated with addictive highly processed foods across legislative, administrative, and legal domains.
Goddess Beyond Boundaries
Authors: Pintchman Tracy 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This book explores the religious life of an American Hindu goddess temple, the Parashakthi Temple, in Pontiac, Michigan. The goddess honored here, Karumariamman, originates from village goddess traditions in South India but comes to assume the status of Great Goddess in her Michigan abode. She is a tantric deity and wonder worker who communicates directly with devotees through dreams, visions, and miracles. The religiosity promoted by the Parashakthi Temple, while clearly Hindu and Indian in both form and substance, is nevertheless grounded in a vision of the Goddess as a breaker of all kinds of boundaries, including those of race, ethnicity, religion, geography, history, and nationality. Temple discourse is deeply innovative both ritually and theologically, reimagining and emplacing the Goddess in the American religious, cultural, and natural landscape and recreating Hindu traditions and the Hindu Great Goddess in dynamic conversation with the new context. Here the Goddess herself embodies the qualities of a new immigrant; she embraces the opportunities her new home affords her and refashions herself, but she does not forget her roots, keeping one foot planted in her Indian homeland and another planted firmly in her new land, the United States.
Mary Moody Emerson among the Stars
Authors: Fuller Randall 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Mary Moody Emerson (1774–1863), an omnivorous reader who recognized the importance of Romantic thought before almost anyone else in America, dreamed of becoming a writer. When that dream was dashed, she turned her attention to the education of her nephew, Ralph Waldo Emerson. She introduced him to Wordsworth and Coleridge, to German philosophy, and inculcated a love of nature in him. Just as important, she provided a model for him of the solitary, independent intellectual. So powerful was her example that Waldo mined her journals and letters, appropriating entire paragraphs into his sermons and, later, his essays. A remarkable thinker and writer in her own right, Mary Emerson’s ecstatic visions of nature and the divine, chronicled in the little-known spiritual journal she called her “Almanacks,” herald the arrival of a new movement soon to be known as transcendentalism.
Lydia Jackson Emerson’s Marriage of Heaven and Hell
Authors: Fuller Randall 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Lydia Jackson Emerson (1802–92) has been almost entirely overshadowed by her famous husband, but that’s not the way her contemporaries viewed her. Elizabeth Peabody said of her, “we had a beautiful talk about a variety of most intellectual and spiritual things—And I should think she had a rare characteristic of genius—inexhaustible originality.” Another friend wrote that she was “as remarkable among women as [Emerson is] among men.” A shrewd analyst of human behavior, Lydia was one of the first to perceive transcendentalism’s limitations. She reasoned that if the self was of preeminent importance, then people could find no meaning in anything greater than themselves. She convinced her husband to redirect his rarefied philosophy toward the plight of enslaved African Americans, and her “Transcendental Bible” remains unparalleled in its portrait of transcendentalism’s smug self-satisfaction.
Organization and menstruation
Authors: Owen Lara 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter explains what is meant by ‘organizing’ and ‘reorganizing’ menstruation. It gives an overview of the historic and contemporary contexts to show how the organizing structures of work, consumption, and commodification are tightly interwoven with regard to menstruation, and how these are changing. The first half of the chapter explores conventional menstrual organization with a focus on how menstrual stigma has been deployed: the impact of menstrual stigma on female psychology; the role of silence and respectability codes surrounding menstrual blood and the products used to conceal it; the androcentric workplace and how menstruation has been normatively constructed at work; the interplay between medical attitudes and working life; microaggressions and workplace confidence; the impact of menstrual stigma on career development; how menstruation has been commodified and commercialized; the ways menstrual products are marketed to increase fears of transgression through leaking; and the rise in menstrual suppression through pharmaceuticals. The second part of the chapter explores the increase in menstrual activism following the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, coinciding with the rise of new technologies (including the smartphone, social media, and cycle-tracking apps) enabling menstrual communication and education, and new material technologies changing the nature of menstrual products. Accompanying these radical changes in daily life has been the impact of neoliberalism in enabling the breakdown of taboos, allowing more public conversation about the realities of menstruation and leading to the introduction of workplace policies and new laws.
Reorganizing menstruation through products and blood management
Authors: Owen Lara 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter details research into another way of reorganizing menstruation: the rapid rise in use of the menstrual cup, a technology for managing menstrual blood that is very different to conventional absorbent methods. This empirical study looked at uptake of the menstrual cup through a dual diary and interview study. Participants were a cohort of educated, urban-dwelling young Australian women, aged 20–24 years old. By the third cycle most participants were able to use the cup easily and had got over any early practical, physical, and psychological issues with insertion, extraction, and cleaning. But their feelings surrounding the cup and the use of it were often powerful beyond their anticipation and gave rise to diverse and often contradictory experiences. While their initial decision to try the cup was motivated by its sustainability relative to other menstrual products, there were unanticipated and often revelatory effects from the experience of seeing their menstrual blood more vividly (not absorbed into fabric) and at the same time being more free and not having to carry products with them during the day. These changes began to quickly alter not only the direct experience of menstruating, but also associated conceptualizations of menstrual blood, bleeding, and bodies, in private and in public settings. Overall, most of the study participants spoke about developing more positive feelings about an aspect of their lives they had previously identified as an inconvenience associated with embarrassment and shame.
Conclusions
Authors: Tsagalis Christos C. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Iliad 10 interacts with the rest of the Iliad by means of allusion to themes, shares phraseology with the rest of the poem in a pointed manner, and makes a significant contribution to the character-drawing of major Iliadic heroes. Speeches, clothing, and arming should be interpreted within the framework of an episode involving a pressing situation that leads to a night mission into enemy territory. The current version of the Doloneia has grown from an earlier, epic one in which the target of the failed night mission was Hector. The addition of the Rhesus episode, in which they Achaean spies triumph, aimed to instill courage to the Achaeans after Achilles’ refusal to return to the war. To this end, the Iliadic epic tradition resorted to a hero like Rhesus who could die without harming the continuation of the plot. The Mahābhārata offers an instructive example of the embedding of a story of nocturnal raid into an enemy camp in a large epic poem, and suggests that this type of story is not a self-contained, independent narrative. Comparison with the Aeneid and consideration of the cyclic features of the Rhesus story allow for the possibility that the fixed narrative pattern used by Doloneia may have been shaped under the influence of a series of cyclic episodes that probably featured (together with the story of Rhesus) in a pre-Homeric oral epic covering the events after the death of Achilles and the suicide of Ajax.
Introduction: philosophy and psychedelic psychiatry
Authors: Letheby Chris , Gerrans Philip 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The chapter undertakes three main tasks. The first is to review, briefly, the history of psychedelics in psychiatry, including the phenomenological and behavioural effects that first led to their being studied for therapeutic purposes. The second is to give an overview of recent research into the safety, efficacy, and therapeutic mechanisms of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. The third is to summarize the contributions of each of the chapters collected in this volume and show how they address philosophical issues arising from the new wave of psychedelic psychiatry. The topics of these chapters cluster around three broad themes, in terms of which the volume is organized: ‘Self and Mind’, ‘Science and Psychiatry’, and ‘Ethics and Spirituality’.
Psychedelic visuals in context
Authors: Swanson Link Ray 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The visual effects of psychedelic drugs are well known but not well understood. This chapter aims to situate psychedelic visual phenomenology within the context of what we know about everyday visual perception. Three types of open-eye visuals—common alterations to external visual appearances under psychedelic drugs—are described, and it is argued that they are caused by hypersensitivity to contextual cues. Evidence and analysis is provided to support the notion that psychedelics selectively impact contextual modulation processes at multiple levels of visual perception. This idea is then applied to explain how visual effects might link to therapeutic benefits. Finally, the practical implications of these ideas for psychedelic therapy, cognitive neuroscience, and philosophy is explored.
Belief change and agnostic frames in psychedelic research and clinical contexts
Authors: Yaden David B. , Nayak Sandeep M. , Griffiths Roland R. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The proportion of people who change their metaphysical beliefs after psychedelic experiences is not yet known with specificity. However, it appears that belief changes can occur in some cases, and evidence more precisely estimating the prevalence and magnitude of such belief changes is accruing. The evidence for metaphysical belief changes is reviewed and the potential psychological mechanisms involved are considered. Some historical and contemporary philosophical work relevant to the topic as is briefly reviewed and some relevant clinical guidelines are described. Philosophically informed recommendations are made for research and clinical contexts in which psychedelic induced belief changes of this kind may occur.
“Kindred to Treason”
Authors: Seo Sarah 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter challenges the presumed movement of time encompassed in a major organizing theme of recent historiography: state-building. The very term incorporates an implicit idea of the time of political economy within its contours—imagining that the history of the modern state moves forward toward modern social welfare and disciplinary state bureaucracy. The chapter offers a countervailing view in its interpretation of the early history of treason and conspiracy prosecutions in the aftermath of putative armed rebellions against the United States. In the early years of the republic, it argues, national political leaders struggled with the question of how to enforce federal authority in an era with little enforcement bureaucracy, and in which widespread flouting of federal law called into question the power of the national government. The chapter traces the evolution of treason prosecutions, and later the creation of a general federal crime of conspiracy, finally achieved in the context of the Civil War and Reconstruction, as a response to this problem. By the early twentieth century, it argues, these developments had become so uncontroversial that few questioned the existence of conspiracy as a federal crime, and the long history of its contested creation was now forgotten. The development of conspiracy as a federal crime, it argues, should be seen as an episode of state-building, achieved without the extension of bureaucratic apparatus that might attach to such a project. Indeed, it is implicit in this account that the contours of the familiar strong state/weak state debate should be completely rethought, as a state might be “strong” and “weak” along various dimensions.
“Our Experiences Make Us Who We Are”
Authors: Lowe Jessica K. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter uses the famous case of State v. Mann to explore the distinction between experience, memory, and action in historical writing. Focusing on Mann, one of the two most infamous legal opinions concerning American slavery, and its equally infamous author, North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Thomas Ruffin, the chapter asks what scholars can learn of this emblematic case by questioning some of the bounds that historians still maintain in writing about it. In Mann, Ruffin reversed the criminal conviction of a white man who hired an enslaved person and then shot her, famously writing that “inherent in the relation of master and slave” is the fact that “the power of the master must be absolute to render the submission of the slave perfect.” Ruffin and Mann have long been productive vehicles for the exploration of judicial duty and moral sentiment in the context of slavery, but this chapter mines Ruffin’s life and career for another cause. Focusing on an 1804 letter that a young Ruffin wrote to his father grappling with the morality of slavery, the chapter asks questions about the relationship of the experience of Judge Ruffin, a slaveholder, writing his infamous opinion and his memory of his own letter to his father decades earlier. The chapter even goes further than this, foregrounding the author’s own experiences as a young historian grappling with trauma and simultaneously writing about young Ruffin’s encounter with his own trauma, effectively questioning the bounds that separate experience, memory and action for the historian as well as the historical subject.
Indulging Kleptocracy
Authors: Heathershaw John , Prelec Tena , Mayne and Tom 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the UK’s kleptocracy problem with s case study of Mohamed Amersi, a professional who made his money in the kleptocratic business environments of post-communist Eurasia and went on to become a philanthropist and donor to some of the UK’s most prestigious institutions. Amersi’s case is complex and illustrates the competing narratives about the kleptocracy problem, The chapter argues that kleptocracy is political, global, and professional. It is political because it typically involves a source of wealth in a particular country where business and politics are intertwined. It is global because the assets, status and influence of kleptocrats are often acquired in and/or via a third country or countries. It is professional because enablers in the financial, legal and other service sectors make kleptocracy possible. The chapter offers new definitions of kleptocracy and enabling and lays out the content and argument of the book.
The Ends of   Two Empires
Authors: Heathershaw John , Prelec Tena , Mayne and Tom 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter delves into the global expansion of finance from the aftermath of World War II to the rise of Londongrad, examining how the pivotal shifts of the postwar era took place in the contexts of the ends of empire. With the decline of the British Empire in the second half of the twentieth century, London transformed itself into a global hub of financial, legal, and related services catering to the demands of the super-rich, including citizenship and residency investment schemes, legal services, and reputation management. As these industries flourished, London emerged as a financial epicentre, benefiting from becoming a centre for both new postcolonial elites and global finance. In 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union led to chaotic privatizations, resulting in the rapid transfer of state-owned assets into private hands. The chapter scrutinizes the trajectory of post-communist Russia and Eastern Europe more widely, while exploring London, UK Crown Dependencies, and the British Overseas Territories which became conduits for capital flight.
Demand
Authors: Heathershaw John , Prelec Tena , Mayne and Tom 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The chapter explores the demands driving transnational kleptocracy, illustrating how London’s financial and legal infrastructure not merely meet but generate demand for hiding, protecting, legitimizing, and globalizing wealth. The analysis identifies three client categories—loyalists, opponents, and fence-sitters—each engaging distinctively with UK professional services. This landscape is underpinned by a culture of capital supremacy, where UK services cater to the needs of high-risk clients, offering reputation management, legal defence, and wealth management. London’s role as a kleptocrat’s haven is thus both enabled by and constitutive of its supply of innovative, prestige-driven services, reflecting a decades-long cultural normalization of serving the global elite.
Listing Companies
Authors: Heathershaw John , Prelec Tena , Mayne and Tom 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The chapter explores how companies with kleptocratic sources of wealth can secure their gains by listing themselves on the London Stock Exchange. It compares two companies from Kazakhstan, Kazakhmys and ENRC, who came to market with the aid of various accountancy firms, investment banks and lawyers. The listings of these companies not only legitimized them but entrenched the kleptocratic political economy of Kazakhstan, as the listings generated millions for the company owners, all close associates of the country’s president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and working under his auspices. This could not have been achieved without the help of British professional who whitewashed Kazakhmys’ history and obscured ENRC’s kleptocratic links.
Making Friends
Authors: Heathershaw John , Prelec Tena , Mayne and Tom 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter looks at the issue of political and charitable donations from individuals who have made their money in kleptocracies. It examines two individuals, firstly Dmitry Leus, a banker born in Turkmenistan but who made his money in Russia, and Liubov Chernukhin, a businesswoman whose husband served under Putin as the Russian deputy minister of finance. Leus attempted to donate to the foundation of the then Prince Charles, while Chernukhin donated extensively to the Conservative Party. The chapter questions the motivations for such donations and explores the push for such funding on behalf of the ruling Conservative Party under its then co-chairman, Ben Elliot. It was Elliot’s concierge service which offered the intimacy and access craved by these rich Russians in the UK.
Tracking Enemies
Authors: Heathershaw John , Prelec Tena , Mayne and Tom 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers the corporate intelligence sector’s provision of asset tracing, surveillance, and security services in the battles between kleptocrats and their exiles. It focuses on Arcanum Global’s relationship with the Nazarbayev regime of Kazakhstan. When the regime lost power in the country in 2022, UK corporate intelligence providers not only defended Nazarbayev allies against the new government but took action against journalists who reported on their activities. While corporate intelligence themselves claim to work with Western allies, the chapter shows how they operate as professionals for private hire, often enabling kleptocratic practices and suppressing critical reporting through legal and extra-legal means.
