Techno-Economic Paradigms, Socio-Institutional Frameworks, and the Dynamics of Industries
Authors: Tylecote Andrew 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter traces the author’s intellectual (and institutional) journey in developing and applying the techno-economic paradigm (TEP) framework. This framework aims to understand the complex historical evolution of dominant technologies and the industries that have developed them and those that use them; respectively, the motive and carrier branches. The chapter focuses on how an emerging TEP interacts with existing institutional frameworks in the locations in which it emerges and to which it spreads, influencing the extent and speed at which it is adopted in different contexts, without a pre-determined outcome. The chapter explains these mechanisms using the long-dominant Fordist TEP, based on oil and petrochemicals as motive industries and automobiles as the main carrier branch. It then discusses how they have shaped the now widespread information and communications technology (ICT) paradigm and the emerging biotechnology TEP.
Why Aesthetics Matters in Mental Health
Authors: Poltrum Martin , Saito Yuriko , Musalek Michael , Galvin Kathleen , Fox Helena 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter highlights the importance of aesthetics in psychotherapy and psychiatry both as theories and practices. The long-held and widely practised integration of aesthetics into the promotion of mental health proves the power of the aesthetic to influence the well-being of humans and their communities. The realization that aesthetic experiences have a benefit and positive effects on life has always led psychotherapists and psychiatrists to give their treatment programs an aesthetic-therapeutic touch. The chapter explains that therapeutic practice gives rise to an aesthetic experience for both the patient and the therapist alike. It cites the necessity to choose and thematize aesthetic phenomena that are capable of arousing people’s spirits.
In the Air
Authors: Hollenbach Lisa 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines Pacifica Radio’s archive of feminist poetry from the 1970s and 1980s to show how interdisciplinary approaches from literary radio studies can open neglected histories of post-1945 American radio and culture. Taking Pacifica station WBAI-FM as a primary case study and drawing on archival recordings, program guides, and published histories, this chapter gives an overview of how the listener-supported Pacifica Radio network became a site for feminist media activism in the 1970s. It then turns to a close analysis of two archival WBAI broadcasts of poetry readings by Black lesbian feminist poets Audre Lorde and Pat Parker. By representing lyric forms of selfhood and collectivity that resist instantaneous and clear transmission, the poetics of Lorde and Parker point toward alternative ways of listening to the radio archive as a residual source for future auditory imaginaries.
Giving Voice or Creating a Spectacle?
Authors: Cwynar Christopher 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter builds on existing work concerning literary journalistic and personal narrative podcasting to advance understanding of the use of intimacy in popular factual narrative nonfiction entertainment podcasts. It identifies two forms of intimate content in many first-person narrative nonfiction podcasts: revealing or vulnerable moments on the part of story subjects and personal reflections on the action from narrator-protagonists. The chapter argues that the deployment of these forms of intimacy is emblematic of the way that first-person narrative nonfiction podcasts sometimes privilege the relationship between the narrator-protagonist and the listener at the expense of the subjects whose stories they are telling. The podcast Missing & Murdered is used as a case study of a program that evolved to modify the format for a more equitable approach that better fits its objectives and subject matter. The chapter suggests that this example is indicative of podcasting’s ongoing maturation as a medium.
The Strange Case of Topless Radio
Authors: Smith Jacob 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Topless radio was the name given to a talk radio format of the early 1970s that focused exclusively on the topic of sex and featured only female callers. The topless format briefly became a national sensation before being driven from the airwaves by the Federal Communications Commission. The sex talk craze helps to understand industrial and aesthetic changes in US broadcasting during the postnetwork era, the role of radio in the history of the sexual revolution, the politics of talk radio style, and the gender dynamics of radio’s listening public. The examination of topless radio in this chapter draws on discourse in the popular and industry press, regulatory debates, and close attention to the textual dynamics of particular broadcasts preserved on long-playing phonograph records.
Kenyan Radio, Colonial Modernity, and Postcolonial Subjectivities
Authors: Ligaga Dina 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines postcolonial subjectivities to identify the significance of local voices and cultures in Kenyan radio history. Postcolonial subjectivities disrupt linear narratives emanating from colonial archives on radio that exclude productive discussions about the development of local radio cultures in Kenya. From archival listener responses and engagements with radio to radio drama read both in the context of state radio’s restrictions and, later, in the context of diversification, the chapter offers a general mapping of radio subjectivities through entanglements with local, everyday cultures in Kenya. Focusing on colonial radio stations in Kenya and then later postindependence broadcasters, the Voice of Kenya (1964–1989) and the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (1990–present), the chapter shows how radio’s relationship with state and colonial power is crucial to understanding its publics in Kenya.
The BBC and the Rise and Fall of the Empire Radio Feature, 1932–1966
Authors: Potter Simon J. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the “empire feature,” a distinctive element in British and Commonwealth international broadcasting from the 1930s to the 1960s. Empire features combined recorded and live “sounds”—“actualities”—from around the British Empire and Commonwealth and often included the voices of “ordinary” people. They were used to evoke a sense of imperial unity and to promote themes of social and economic progress. Typically broadcast on Christmas Day, Empire Day, national holidays, and great royal occasions, they offered a distinctive soundscape, attributable to the complex technical feat of linking sequences from around the world together in a single program, and to attempts to overcome the vagaries of shortwave transmission. Many empire features displayed a bias toward the white “British world” and only began to include African and Asian colonized voices and perspectives after the Second World War, and even then, only in carefully curated formats.
Confronting the Inaudible Past
Authors: VanCour Shawn 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores methodological challenges to reconstructing sounds of radio programs for which no known recordings survive. Taking as its case study the nation’s first successful musical variety program, created in 1922 by film impresario Samuel Rothafel and broadcast from New York’s Capitol Theatre, the chapter uses archival documents to plug gaps in extant sound collections and recover otherwise lost sounds of US radio history. Pursuing an archaeological approach, it shows how producers adapted film and vaudeville techniques to cultivate presentational styles tailored to radio’s perceived sonic demands and capabilities. Offering a method extensible to other radio genres and time periods, this document-based approach proves equally useful for analyzing more recent forms of digital soundwork for which extant recordings may prove in similarly short supply.
For the Love of Radio
Authors: Birdsall Carolyn 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter seeks to establish a clearer understanding of how an affective attachment to radio broadcasting relates to efforts to keep or save it. It proposes the term radiophilia as a new conceptual tool that can help make sense of strong attachments to radio, whether in the practices of broadcast professionals or radio listeners, fans, and critics. The chapter reflects on how radiophilia is similar to or different from other concepts (e.g. cinephilia, audiophilia). The chapter then examines a particular case and explores the radiophilic desire underpinning efforts to preserve radio in institutional settings. Finally, it supplements its focus on institutional radio archiving by outlining preservation practices in domestic and informal settings, including fan and amateur collector communities. It seeks to make a contribution by introducing a new concept of radiophilia to radio, sound, and media studies, while emphasizing the significance of radio collecting for media audience and fan studies.
Native American Radio History and the Indians for Indians Program
Authors: Ortega Lina , Garrett-Davis Josh 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Native American radio history stretches from the earliest years of the medium to various forms of audio broadcasting today. Throughout many historical and technological changes, Indigenous people have used radio in service of self-representation, promoting tribal sovereignty, and building intertribal communities. Some Native radio institutions have offered remarkable examples of community-rooted media practices, including listeners’ voices and responding to community needs. One of the earliest is Indians for Indians, first broadcast from Norman, Oklahoma, in 1941, created by Don Whistler, who was then principal chief of the Sac and Fox Tribe. This chapter focuses on Indians for Indians as a turning point in Native radio that pointed forward toward tribally owned stations and other media institutions that followed. The history of Native radio serves as a reminder that media is always rooted in material and cultural landscapes and offers examples that function responsibly in relation to those places and communities.
Isotope Research in Island and Coastal Archaeology
Authors: Kinaston Rebecca , Evans Jane , Laffoon Jason , Salazar Garcia Domingo C. , Bartelink Eric J. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the intricate challenges of interpreting isotopic data for paleodiet and paleomobility studies in island and coastal regions. Isotope analyses have become indispensable for unraveling past lifeways, ranging from human diet and mobility to animal husbandry and subsistence practices. Notably, dietary studies extend beyond mere reconstructions, probing into broader biosocial, cultural, and political aspects of the past. In this chapter, the authors bring together global archaeological isotope specialists to present regional overviews and address the complexities associated with interpreting isotope data in island and coastal regions. They hope this chapter serves as a valuable resource for researchers navigating similar environments and fosters an enhanced understanding of isotope science within the context of broader (bio)archaeological investigations.
The Books of Kings and Chronicles
Authors: Fulton Deirdre N. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The book of Chronicles contains material found in the Torah and Former Prophets. The most significant overlapping material is with Kings. The exact version of Kings that the Chronicler had shows variations from the Masoretic Text, Septuagint, or other extant textual traditions. Scholars debate the exact purpose of Chronicles in relationship to Kings, classifying it in a number of ways including midrash or exegesis, “Rewritten Bible,” “Rewritten Scripture,” mimesis, or imitatio. These suggestions understand Chronicles as a reframing of earlier Judahite monarchic traditions written for a postexilic audience. The Kings narrative is important to the composition of Chronicles and the Chroniclers’ freedom to make changes to the received tradition, particularly concerning the roles of Judahite kings, the northern kingdom of Israel, women, and the priests and Levites. These changes reveal the dependence of Chronicles on the general organization of Kings and a different historical and theological outlook on the events.
Theories of the Composition of the Books of Kings
Authors: Römer Thomas 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter surveys the scholarly discussion about the authorship and dating of the books of Kings. It begins with the debate about the books’ place in the “Enneateuch” (Pentateuch + Former Prophets). The chapter then addresses the watershed theory of Martin Noth about the Deuteronomistic History and then the subsequent proposals about its various redactional stages. Included in the chapter are treatments of the source materials available to the authors and editors and of the aggregation of prophetic stories, particularly those of Elijah and Elisha, in the work. The chapter blends an overview of the issues involved in this history of research with a proposal for resolving them.
Victorian Realisms in the Age of Global Trade
Authors: Valdez Jessica R. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter argues that Robert Fortune’s travel writings and Elizabeth Gaskell’s Cranford (1851–1853) self-reflexively examine the role of global commodities in constructing the mundane, everyday life of 1850s novelistic realism. By tracing the genealogy of Chinese tea and other goods, Fortune’s A Journey to the Tea Countries (1852) renders the material histories of English everyday goods legible to his readers in a way that makes visible the global networks on which Cranford’s textured realism depends. Thus, the chapter argues that the Wardian case—an air-tight container used by Fortune to transport live plants by re-creating their environment in miniature—provides a useful metaphor for realism. Like the Wardian case, A Journey and Cranford transfer a realistic yet processed, imitative world in miniature to the reading public that simultaneously makes explicit its very constructedness. The metaphor of the Wardian case conveys the odd combination of self-reflexivity and internal contradiction of 1850s realisms: a consciousness of realism’s artificiality while still holding onto a desire for the authentic.
Embodied Realisms in Australian Aboriginal Art
Authors: Cameron Liz 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Aboriginal art represents a profound manifestation of realism, embodiment, and truth-telling that starkly contrasts Eurocentric perceptions within Australian landscape paintings. This chapter explores the unique characteristics of Aboriginal art, highlighting its capacity to convey profound truths, preserve cultural knowledge, and embody the spiritual connection between people and place that extends beyond mere visual representation. Specifically, it aims to unravel the elements of cultural and spiritual realism in Aboriginal art while drawing on comparisons with Eurocentric artists to shed light on how culture shapes landscapes and influences society. Aboriginal artworks, shaped by embodiment and sensory connections to place and spirit, defy a simplistic osmotic or unmediated origin. Instead, the essence of Aboriginal “art” lies in its profound ability to embody meaning through socially ritualized intercultural exchange and transcultural dialogue.
Land Struggles and Working People
Authors: Franco Jennifer C. , Borras Saturnino M. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The dominant convention in critical agrarian studies, as well as among agrarian movements, is that struggles for land are best captured by the framework of agrarian reform that seeks to expropriate land from large private monopolies for redistribution to landless and near-landless working classes, with the aim of building a dynamic agricultural sector. This perspective originates in classical agrarian studies, which locates the land issue within the context of agriculture’s contribution to capitalist industrial development. This type of land struggle remains important today, but it does not fully capture the range of the land struggles of working people across rural and urban, agricultural and nonagricultural spaces and sectors. Recent decades have seen the fragmentation of working classes, as the ranks of those who combine various types of agricultural/nonagricultural, rural/urban livelihoods have vastly expanded. As a result, the land struggles of working people have become decentered from the classical treatment in relation to agriculture and capitalism. This chapter argues that land struggles of working people today are dispersed and multisited, polycentric in political leadership and power, and multiscalar, but this does not make them less important compared to their counterparts in the twentieth century. The current global conjuncture makes them profoundly important as they are.
Socioecological Relations in Land Politics
Authors: Montefrio Marvin Joseph F. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
A political economy/ecology approach has been at the center of the critical scholarship on land politics. Given the multiple material and social dimensions of land, an analysis that accords attention to human and more-than-human relationalities would enrich positive and normative scholarly commitments to unpack the complexities of land politics. This chapter advocates for an assemblage perspective in land politics. An assemblage perspective would add layers of explanation and nuance to the political-economy dynamics of land issues, such as commodification, accumulation, adverse incorporation, social differentiation and marginalization, exclusion, and resistance. Moreover, an assemblage perspective could reveal emergent relations that expose fissures in structures of dominance, offering ways for us to (re)imagine emancipatory land politics.
Land and Geopolitics
Authors: Dwyer Michael 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Enclosure is an enduring feature of capitalist development, yet its unevenness—some areas and populations endure far more than others—is inevitably a function of the historical versus emergent processes. But at what point does enclosure cross over into the geopolitical? This chapter outlines a conjunctural approach to land and geopolitics, using the global land rush as an entry point into land politics over multiple spatial and temporal scales. Beginning with the geopoliticization of the global land rush of the middle and late 2000s, and drawing on long-term fieldwork in Laos, the chapter locates the governing of enclosure at the nexus of domestic and international affairs. It draws heavily on the concept of micro-geopolitics, a term that gestures to the ways that contemporary processes of enclosure have become grounded in and shaped by earlier geopolitical conflicts, often in ways that reflect highly localized processes of state territorialization, colonial and postwar legacies, and legal pluralism. It also examines the explicitly (if often unrecognized) geopolitical dimensions of property itself, highlighting the global and historical trajectories of debates about land commodification and alienation that create today’s patchwork of legal formalization and, with it, the endurance of imperial and colonial legacies.
Contemporary Challenges and Future Perspectives of Structural Transformation in the Former Soviet Union and Its Satellites
Authors: Lombardozzi Lorena 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the contemporary outlook of selected cases within the former Soviet Union (FSU) and its satellite countries to shed light on the regional outlook for patterns of industrialization. It outlines how patterns of industrialization and deindustrialization are determined by historical processes but also shaped by context-specific geopolitical conditions related to domestic assets, institutions, and resource endowments that vary within the post-Soviet space. The chapter discusses the intersectorial and intrasectorial challenges of transformation, focusing also on viable opportunities and constraints determined by both domestic and international factors. It then explores the current strategies of economic cooperation in the region. Finally, it concludes by highlighting the political contradictions that FSU countries must confront to effectively implement a sustainable process of structural transformation. The chapter ultimately contributes to systematizing the relation between theories of transition and structural transformation.
Exchange Rate Dynamics across Post-Socialist Economies
Authors: Dąbrowski Marek 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Exchange rate dynamics reflect a country’s exchange rate regime, which is part of a monetary policy regime and macroeconomic stability. This chapter analyzes exchange rate dynamics in 28 post-socialist economies (PSEs) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the former Soviet Union (FSU) by analyzing their monetary policy regimes (MPRs) and macroeconomic stabilization policies carried out immediately after the collapse of the economic system based on central planning and dominant role of a state (social) ownership in the early 1990s and in later stages of post-socialist transformation. Particular attention is given to the de facto MPRs (vs. the declared ones), and progress made in introducing the current-account and capital-account convertibility of PSE currencies. Another thread of an analysis concerns macroeconomic stability performance measured by cumulative consumer price and exchange rate changes in 1999–2022.
The Soviet Union’s Central Planning Model of the 1950s–1970s
Authors: Popov Vladimir 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Overall, the Soviet Union’s record in maintaining economic growth and a high level of welfare indicators was quite spectacular, especially until the mid-1960s. The major strength of the centrally planned economies from the 1950s to the 1970s came from their ability to mobilize savings and to turn them into investment. After the Second World War the “big push” (industrialization) of the 1930s began to pay off—massive retirement of fixed capital stock had not yet started, so new investment could be used to alleviate inherent supply bottlenecks. By the 1970s, the drawbacks of the centrally planned economy (economic calculation problem) began to outweigh the advantages (such as the ability to mobilize savings for investment). This chapter argues that the planners influenced the development of the national economies, not so much via adopting the planned targets, but by choosing the priority investment projects. The financing of these projects spurred the other industries via a multiplier process that triggered either price increases or output increases, depending on the gap between the potential and actual output, very much as in a market economy.
A History of the Anatolian Kızılbaş-Alevis (c. 16th to Early 20th Century)
Authors: Karolewski Janina , Weineck Benjamin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter outlines the history of the Anatolian Kızılbaş-Alevis between the 16th and 20th centuries. The Alevis are a religious community that makes up between 10 and 20 percent of the Turkish population today. Their religious norms and practices differ considerably from both Sunni and Shi‘a Islam, and they are not recognized as a religious minority in Turkey. The chapter critically engages with various narratives on the origins of Alevis and their persecution as ‚heretic‘ agents of the Safavid shahs on Ottoman territory. It also delves into the evolution and development of the Alevis’ religious norms and practices and their entangled history with neighboring communities. Historically being organized in holy lineages (ocaks) as well as (semi)nomadic tribal communities, the Alevis started to organize themselves in private organizations and cultural associations in their struggle for political recognition in the Republic of Turkey.
