Structural Harm, Structural Injustice, Structural Repair
Authors: Wolff Jonathan 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In Chapter 1, ‘Structural Harm, Structural Injustice, Structural Repair’, Jonathan Wolff explores the nature of structural injustice and how it tends to come into being. For Wolff, structural harm is not an injustice but rather a mere unfortunate outcome of structural processes. In order to refine a definition of structural injustice, Wolff suggests four features—first there must be a social structure; second a mechanism or set of processes for keeping that structure in place; third a significant harm (or risk of harm) to a group; and fourth an identifiable reason for thinking such a harm is an injustice. In order to grasp what the injustice might consist in, Wolff draws on Kwame Turé’s work on institutional racism, Michael Marmot and Richard Wilkinson’s analyses of the social determinants of health, and Paul Farmer’s concept of structural violence as well as the work of Iris Marion Young. Wolff explores the types of actions that can be required in response to structural injustice or structural harm, taking inspiration from the metaphor of finding a structural fault in a building, suggesting that different circumstances will call for different types of action. Wolff sets out several different ways in which structural injustice might be ‘repaired’, arguing that some cases will require individual agency and others collective, but what is always needed is an agent of change and a pathway for reform.
Responsibility, Structural Injustice, and Settler Colonialism
Authors: Lu Catherine 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In Chapter 6, ‘Responsibility, Structural Injustice, and Settler Colonialism’, Catherine Lu focuses on what kind of responsibility is generated by structural injustice and how responsibility for structural injustice relates to the responsibility for other sorts of injustices. By way of answering these questions, Lu offers a range of examples, one of which is the heightened vulnerability of Indigenous women to violence in settler–colonial societies such as in Canada and the United States. Here she discusses the case of an Indigenous woman Mary Johns, who was murdered in 1982; the case later became a focal point in Canada’s National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in 2017. Lu argues that, while punishing individual perpetrators for wrongful conduct is of course important, it is always insufficient for addressing the structural background conditions that systematically render Indigenous women vulnerable to violence and other forms of oppression. Rather, there needs to be acknowledgement that the victims of structural injustice constitute larger categories of persons. Such categories of persons, often characterized by race, class, and gender, are subjected to social positions of structural inferiority, marginalization, and disadvantage, and this is particularly perpetrated by systemic features of states. Accordingly, Lu calls on the state and its role within the international order to take up responsibility for its contributions to the social, economic, and political structures that produce settler–colonial structures of power that render so many racialized groups vulnerable.
Greece at the precipice
Authors: Aslanidis Paris 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Chapter 5 applies the theoretical framework of Chapter 3 to examine the movement of the Salonica indignados (May–October 2011). It begins by providing an overview of the political context of the Greek sovereign debt crisis, emphasizing the indignados’ impact on reshaping the domestic party system. The chapter then proceeds to a thorough analysis of the movement’s emergence, focusing on the diagnostic aspect of collective action framing and the construction of a populist collective identity. It studies frame disputes within the indignados, including conflicts between radical left-wing activists and their so-called White counterparts. The covert activity of radicals and their adoption of a populist vocabulary is given extensive attention. The chapter incorporates cultural, organizational, and ideological dimensions to explain how a populist collective action frame managed to render the movement successful and cohesive until its dissolution, which coincided with the resignation of the Socialist government.
Epilogue
Authors: Aslanidis Paris 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The epilogue reiterates the need to dispel stale misconceptions in order to understand populist mobilization in a comprehensive manner that highlights its capacity to revitalize the constituent myth of popular sovereignty. It underscores the rich material that grassroots populist movement offers to sociologists and political scientists regarding populist framing, collective identity, culture, and emotions. It analyzes how daunting the task of populist mobilization is for movement entrepreneurs and describes how ordinary citizens may benefit from their participation. It concludes with the argument that populism manifests more authentically in the grassroots compared to institutionalized politics, and that the study of grassroots mobilization can provide an invaluable perspective for a more accurate appreciation of the wider populist phenomenon.
Reflections on Privatization through PHE
Authors: Levy Daniel C. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe mammoth expansion and diversification of global PHE constitutes a significant chapter in global privatization and is indeed meaningfully intertwined with it as seen in interests, motivations, beneficiaries, and opponents. Notwithstanding abundant and meaningful patterns of private–public similarities and blurring, quite significant patterns of private–public distinctiveness emerge. As PHE itself increasingly diversifies across subsectors, types, subtypes, forms, and sub-forms, patterns of private–public distinctiveness multiply. Much of the privatization comes in nonprofit form and sub-forms, illuminated by nonprofit theory, while an increasing share comes in for-profit form and sub-forms. In both forms and across PHE types and subsectors, key drivers are identifiable self-interests of mostly private stakeholders, though often in at least tacit partnership with particular public stakeholders. Overwhelmingly consistent with pluralist market dynamics, this higher education privatization is mostly quite contrary to central state steering principles. A striking contrast thus emerges between an empirical world driven mostly by pluralist-market dynamics and the persistent normative dominance of state steering principles.
The Location of the Colossus
Authors: Badoud Nathan 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Chapter 6 evaluates the location of the Colossus. It reviews all hypotheses formulated to this point, beginning with the medieval myth of the statue straddling the harbour of Rhodes. The epigram cut on the base of the Colossus states that the statue ‘crowned’ the city, which implies that it was on a hill. As the acropolis was topped by the sanctuary of Athena Polias and Zeus Polieus, the location of the Colossus should correspond to the site occupied since the fourteenth century by the Palace of the Grand Master of the Order of Saint John, where there are incidentally good reasons to place the sanctuary of Helios. From that hill, the Colossus could be seen from the Asian mainland, as requested by the epigram cut on its base.

Is There Still a Liberal Public Sphere in the US? Was There Ever One?
Authors: Müller Jan-Werner 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The chapter traces the evolution of the public sphere in the US and asks about its relationship to liberalism. Compared to European countries in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the US developed a robust and open public sphere, based on “constitutive choices” such as subsidies for newspaper distribution. The chapter also analyzes the rise of professional journalism and its complicated relation to the liberal script, before arguing that recent pathologies in US journalism and the public sphere are largely due to regulatory choices, not technological innovations such as social media. The chapter also claims that practices of professional journalism have been weaponized against liberalism (and democracy) in recent years.
A Conclusion
Authors: Zürn Michael 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
How can we understand the relative strength of polarization and the authoritarian populist movement in the US? The chapter develops an endogenous explanation to this question: American exceptionalism breeds the exceptional strength and form of authoritarian populism in the US today. American exceptionalism refers here to a specific American version of the liberal script. Each liberal society has to handle a set of tensions built into the liberal script. The chapter identifies four specific features of the American version of the liberal script. It is (1) based on a strong belief in markets and the merit principle; (2) it comes with a political system full of checks and balances; (3) a multicultural or cosmopolitan tendency; and (4) it comes with a strong community orientation on the local level that proves open to truth decay. The chapter argues that these features have produced the economic, cultural, and political conditions under which authoritarian populism blossoms exceptionally well.
Print Culture and the Making of Italian Literature
Authors: Richardson Brian 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Printing transformed the production and diffusion of literary works in Italy from the 1460s onward, encouraging their composition and making them available more rapidly and less expensively throughout and beyond the peninsula. Authors who wished to appear in print had to work together with publishers and sometimes with editors, and negotiating these collaborations could present problems. Editors were employed by publishers to select and correct texts and to provide paratexts for canonical works. In the sixteenth century, they developed the genre of lyric anthologies, bringing together communities of male and female poets and readers. From the late eighteenth century, the creation of series of texts fostered a sense of an Italian literary corpus, and from the following century, works in Italian and in translation, especially novels, were disseminated more widely in economical formats. In periods of religious or political tension, print publication has been restricted by the threat of censorship.
The Networks of Dante’s Divine Comedy
Authors: Rushworth Jennifer 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the challenges of reading and responding to Dante’s Divine Comedy in terms of a tension between completeness and fragmentation. It first offers a brief introduction to the poem and presents Roland Barthes’s typology of the Comedy as different kinds of book: Origin, Key, Summa, Guide. It then analyzes contrasting examples in the Comedy’s reception in light of these categories. George Eliot’s citation of lines from Inferno V presents a characteristic nineteenth-century case of a highly selective, mediated Dante. In contrast, Giorgio Pressburger’s twenty-first-century trilogy offers an incredibly close Dantean rewriting, even including imitation of the Dante commentary tradition. The chapter hypothesizes that fragmentation and completion might map onto a parallel contrast between non-Italian and Italian responses to Dante, but the conclusion works to unpick these oppositions by drawing on transnational Italian studies and highlighting the necessary coexistence of whole and fragment within the form of the encyclopedia.
Humanism and Renaissance
Authors: Huss Bernhard 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter deals with Italian humanism and its reception in the European countries of the Renaissance. Humanism emerges in Italy against the background of the Renaissance pluralization of knowledge, which is promoted by the multiplication of available texts. This multiplication is co-generated by humanism itself. The reception of humanism in countries outside Italy takes place under very different sociocultural conditions. Therefore, the humanist program is implemented very differently in the individual countries. The linguistic basis of the European spread of humanism is Latin as a lingua franca. The fact that humanism as a Latin phenomenon has Italian roots gives rise to a multilayered confrontation with the Italian origins of humanism on an international level. In the process, “nationalist” clichés are mobilized by all participants in the struggle of the self-interests of the diverse cultural communities and linguistic communities. In contrast, key authors such as Francesco Petrarch, Lorenzo Valla, and Desiderius Erasmus, in their historical dependencies, reveal the European dimension of the movement that championed humanism.
Participatory Research, Popular Education, and Action for Social Change
Authors: Zapata Calderon Jose 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter is based on the involvement of a longtime scholar-activist reflecting on the use of popular education and participatory research in his development. The use of these pedagogies and methods, dating back to social movements in the Global South and North, have been used with a vision of transforming the unjust power relations of colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism while creating new models that involve the participants in research and action to create radical systemic change. The author presents examples from his history of teaching, research, and organizing on how these methods have been applied and how they can be used in the contemporary period.
From Public Sociology to Liberation Sociology and Beyond
Authors: Arribas Lozano Alberto 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the interface between sociology and social justice by bringing into dialogue three intellectual and political projects that are reshaping the frontiers of sociological praxis at different levels. First, collaborative research methodologies, which bridge theory and action by working and thinking together with our coresearchers around jointly conceived agendas/problems. For research and knowledge to matter, they must be rooted in collective struggles for social justice. Second, global sociology, paying special attention to southern theory and the “epistemologies of the south.” Along with the struggles for the decolonization of the university, this process is redefining the field in non-Eurocentric terms, locating histories of colonialism, enslavement, appropriation, and dispossession at the center of modernity; and interrogating as well epistemic violence/injustice in relation to the constitution of sociology as a discipline. Finally, decolonial struggles taking place outside the university, led by Indigenous and Black peoples and communities. These struggles usually understand the concept and praxis of decolonization in ways that exceed the “social justice framework.” Thus, they allow us to free ourselves from a modern/Eurocentric horizon of liberation, and to transform our sociological and political imagination accordingly.
Wrestling with Incommensurabilities and Possibilities of Social Justice and Decolonization in Community-Engaged Learning
Authors: Rost-Banik Colleen , Mitchell Tania D. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter illustrates how community-engaged learning projects that have social justice aims can be in tension with attempts to decolonize. Considering two different efforts that center immigrant worker rights—one with the Domestic Care Workers Alliance and the other with a hotel workers’ union, the chapter outlines three paradoxes within the interwoven relations of labor, migration, citizenship, and de/colonization in the United States. Building the analysis to how racism and colonialism are intertwined with the roots of capitalism, it contends that actualizing decolonization requires wrestling with the goals, incommensurabilities, and possibilities of projects that simultaneously advocate for better labor conditions and reinforce colonization. It challenges the reader to grapple with and be responsive to these complex realities in teaching and scholarship, with reverence for the people and lands that have maintained life and envisioned and fought for better futures.
Mary Magdalene in the Western Christian Medieval Tradition
Authors: Gross-Diaz Theresa 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of scholarship on the cult of Mary Magdalene in the medieval West, from the foundational work of Victor Saxer (1959) to the present. Beginning with feminist and gendered studies of the Magdalene, both of the “lachrymose” and empowered persuasion, it then surveys Saxer’s Le Culte de Marie Madeleine en Occident and the studies it inspired, tracing the cult of the Magdalene beyond France and across Europe. The focus shifts to studies of the reception and creation of the Magdalene in vernacular languages and visual arts with attention to oral and folkloric elements and ends with suggestions for future directions in Magdalenian studies. Throughout, the value of interdisciplinarity for Magdalenian studies is stressed.
Understanding Sources of Economic Growth and Productivity in Malawi
Authors: Chavula Hopestone Kayiska , Awel Yesuf M. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The chapter analyses the sources of growth in Malawi by examining the contributions of factor accumulation and productivity growth using a growth accounting approach over the period 1965–2017. Growth decomposition results reveal that physical capital was the highest contributor to output per worker growth, followed by human capital growth and TFP growth, over the period. Average output per worker growth is found also to hover around 1.6% per year, albeit lower than rates experienced in East Asian economies. Structural transformation, technology adoption, public spending, and regulatory quality are found to be the key drivers of productivity growth, signifying the need to strengthen policies that promote structural transformation and technology adoption and diffusion, coupled with improved macroeconomic policies and quality of economic and governance institutions to boost productivity and economic growth in Malawi.
