Rebooting Global Competitiveness in Post-3.11 Japan
Authors: Donzé Pierre-Yves , Yongue Julia S. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the changes that took place under Prime Minister Abe Shinzō in response to the March 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami, or 3.11. The disaster drastically reduced the nation’s energy-generating capabilities and led to the weakening of the competitiveness of Japanese firms both at home and abroad. Even before the introduction of Abe’s reform package, known as Abenomics, Japanese capitalism was already transitioning towards a more shareholder-focused form of financial capitalism. The third of the three arrows (goals) for Abenomics was systemic reform. This was designed to enhance productivity in part by modifying Japan’s workplace culture, which is often characterized by long working hours and limited opportunities for the advancement of women to executive positions. The Abe government also pegged a relatively new industry to promote, one with a high perceived potential for national as well as regional growth, tourism. The hosting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics was to be the springboard for the new growth sector; however, due to the pandemic, the games were re-scheduled and the borders closed to tourism. While the tourism industry provides new hope for economic revitalization, it also sparks a heated debate about its sustainability. The changes that have occurred since March 2011 have created an unprecedented opportunity for a new national discussion on how to achieve a more sustainable form of Japanese capitalism—one that balances the needs of society and the economy.
Introduction
Authors: Prizel Natalie 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The Introduction outlines the theoretical and conceptual stakes of the project in terms of its contributions to Victorian art historical and literary studies as well as to queer and crip theory. The Introduction presents a scene of encounter in Charles Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend (1865) in which we meet the disabled dolls’ dressmaker, Jenny Wren. This scene is exemplary according to John Ruskin’s concept of innocence of the eye, which the Introduction discusses in relation to his larger oeuvre. Mobilizing queer and crip theoretical writings alongside nineteenth-century writing by figures such as William Wordsworth, Thomas Carlyle, and John Stuart Mill, the Introduction gives a detailed account of what extranormativity—a term the author coins to express the odd relation to normativity the figures under discussion bear—looks like and how we might know it—or not—when we see it.
Art Work
Authors: Prizel Natalie 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The primary focus of this chapter are two disabled artists for whom art work is a necessary form of labor: Jenny Wren from Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend and Olive Rothesay from Dinah Mulock Craik’s Olive (1850). Jenny is a master craftswoman, subverting an upper-class able-bodied gaze to aggressively assert her control—visual and otherwise—in the marketplace. This chapter looks through the lens of Hegel’s master/slave dialectic to interrogate the ways in which the mastery of one’s craft becomes a means of deflecting a diagnostic look when innocence of the eye seems well-nigh impossible. Olive becomes a professional painter as a substitute for a marriage plot she incorrectly assumes will be denied her on account of her slight deformity. Both figures create queer spaces, mostly characterized by intimacies between women, in which they do not have to engage in the acts of evasion that characterize their everyday lives.
The Ruskinian Draughtsman
Authors: Prizel Natalie 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 turns to the disfigured amateur artist, Philip Wakem, from George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss (1860). Philip directly exemplifies the practices of the Ruskinian amateur artist—even Ruskin himself—and these practices turn him, like Ruskin, from artist to author. Philip in fact practices innocence of the eye, or tries to, as an artist. Philip is a potential but always thwarted lover in a novel characterized by an endlessly unraveling marriage plot for the protagonist, Maggie Tulliver. Philip, through his art making, effaces his body when confronted with an all-too-knowing viewer. Despite his own attempted ethical optics, Philip is nearly never perceived with an innocent eye; even Maggie looks at him lovingly but not innocently. Assuming a conjunction between disability, undesirability, and asexuality, critics have emasculated Philip far more completely than the novel does, and the chapter reconsiders the status of Philip as lover and artistic and moral exemplar.
Women and language in the Journal de la langue françoise (1784–95)
Authors: McLaughlin Mairi 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the presence and representation of women in the first periodical devoted to the French language, namely Urbain Domergue’s Journal de la langue françoise, soit exacte soit ornée (1784–95). A tripartite investigation of the principal figures involved and evoked in the periodical, readers’ letters, and the thematics of women and gender reveals where women were present and how they were represented especially as it relates to questions of language. The study shows how the linguistic practice and metalinguistic discourse of the Journal de la langue françoise contributed to the reflection and construction of attitudes and ideologies surrounding women and language in the eighteenth century. At the most general level, the research underscores the importance of the periodical medium which opened up a new space for women to share their metalinguistic thought in the public realm.
On the rise and fall of modern français régional in the rural Côte d’Or
Authors: Temple Rosalind A. M. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents a pilot study of data recorded in the Côte d’Or, Burgundy, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, which is compared with a sample of data from the Atlas linguistique de la France, published a century earlier. In the light of these empirical observations it explores the dominant narrative concerning diatopic variation in northern Gallo-Romance across the period, namely that the dialectes d’Oïl, which are qualitatively distinct from French and have their own names (norman, bourgignon) were replaced rapidly over roughly the first half of this period by varieties of French (français norman, français bourguignon); these in turn have been subject to dialect levelling since at least the 1980s. The discussion focuses on whether the evidence supports this cyclical narrative or suggests that in at least some regions it would be more appropriate to consider the changes observed as part of one overarching process.
Introducing Harold Arlen
Authors: Frisch Walter 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Arlen’s inventiveness as a songwriter made him a favorite of musicians like André Previn and Stephen Sondheim. His experience as arranger, singer, and pianist in the 1920s contributed to the distinctive richness of harmonic, melodic, rhythmic, and textural detail in his songs. In interviews Arlen always stressed that a lyricist is the composer’s “best friend”; together they work to achieve a “happy wedding” of music and words. Although like all standards Arlen’s songs change constantly as they are interpreted by performers, this study will treat them in part as stable works whose formal, harmonic, and melodic features can be closely analyzed. This chapter closes with a discussion of two key elements of Arlen’s musical identity—his formative years as the son of a prominent Jewish cantor in Buffalo and his early, close association with Black musicians in New York.
Becoming the System
Authors: Flores Nelson 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This book examines the ways that the institutionalization of bilingual education in the post–Civil Rights era connected to two broader global reconfigurations of race. The first reconfiguration was the shift from biological to cultural conceptualizations of race. In the US context, this discursive shift was produced within a complex interrelationship between liberal multiculturalism framed within social science research and race radicalism framed within self-determination struggles. At the core of both discourses was a psychologically damaged racialized subject produced either as a product of cultural deficiencies or a history of colonial oppression. This foundational logic shaped the Bilingual Education Act and its subsequent implementation in ways that recruited Latinx activists to accept longstanding deficit perspectives of their communities in order to get access to the professional positions made available by increased funding for bilingual education. The second reconfiguration is the neoliberal multicultural shift away from governmental to market-bases solutions to combating racial inequities. While the psychologically damaged racialized subjects remains at its core, neoliberal multiculturalism also embraces converse racialization that reframes racialized cultural practices as mobile resources for the consumption of affluent white communities. This converse racialization has emerged in efforts to promote bilingual education via the politics of school choice and the proliferation of dual language education in ways that further exacerbate existing racial inequities in the name of offering bilingual education as an option for all. The book ends with a personal reflection that situates my own lived experience within the broader (re)configurations of race analyzed throughout the book.
From Community Control to Neoliberalism
Authors: Flores Nelson 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter situates the emergence of bilingual education within the context of the Civil Rights movement. Particularly relevant to the struggle for bilingual education were struggles for community control of schools that emerged out of increased frustration with the lack of progress in efforts to desegregate schools. These struggles for community control were ideologically diverse and existed on a continuum. On the one side of the continuum was race radicalism, which framed community control as part of broader struggles for self-determination of racialized communities worldwide. On the other side of the continuum was liberal multiculturalism, which framed community control as part of efforts to provide racialized communities access to mainstream institutions. Examining the discourses produced by prominent community-control advocates, this chapter traces the echoes of the demands for community control within contemporary neoliberal educational reform.
Readerly Pleasures: Screen Reading, and The Motion Picture Story Magazine
Authors: Gleeson-White Sarah 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter picks up on Chapter 3’s conclusion about motion pictures’ ability to expand literature’s readership in order to discover the ways readers responded to and navigated new literary forms and materials generated out of literature’s encounters with motion pictures. To do so, it considers motion pictures’ invitations to read—both on screen and in motion-picture fan magazines—a strategy of motion-picture address recasting literary features. It also considers with the new experiences of and encounters with literature in venues beyond its more conventional sites and print objects. In sum, Chapter 4 aims to discover how motion pictures may have generated, contributed to or altered habits of literary reading and, just as importantly, what pleasures motion-picture reading promised it readers.
Ragnar Rommetveit on Contextures and Partially Shared Understandings
Authors: Linell Per 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This text was written to commemorate Ragnar Rommetveit’s work. Rommetveit (e.g. 2008) was very engaged in developing theories of dialogue. Dialogism, which is a humanistic and social-scientific framework opposing extreme individualism and insisting on the role of others in thinking and communication. Contexts of sense- and meaning-making were of fundamental importance for Rommetveit. He accused certain competing approaches in the scientific areas of human communication, interaction, and language from suffering from myopia, that is, they maintained insufficient versions of contexts or complex contexts (contextures). The insufficiencies were especially unfortunate when we try to understand each other in various situations. In this paper I will provide some authentic examples of mismatches in communication, rather than using only made-up examples. Towards the end of the paper I will give some modest remarks on possible contributions of dialogism to the study of large-scale politics of our time.
Active Citizenship and Participation Through “Dialogues in the Square”
Authors: Beatrice Ligorio Maria , Barzanò Giovanna , Amenduni Francesca , Cauchi Roberta , Turrisi Sergio , Raffio Lorenzo , Ragazzini Claudia , Valentino Ludovica 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In this chapter we describe an ongoing project (“Dialogues in the Square”—DiS) that started in 2017, where active citizenship and social participation are developed through concrete actions concerning the improvement of public spaces. The project focuses on students’ analysis of the degradation of an important historical square in Rome, to plan and implement innovative interventions tackling its flaws, while exploiting its potential to contribute to the common good. Nineteen classes of students (age 8–19), from two schools, have been involved for different periods of time, from one to four years. The DiS project offers a rich array of opportunities for dialogue inside and outside the school. Several stakeholders are engaged with students and teachers on different subjects, including the local municipality, artists, academics, and experts of different fields. Creativity, dreams, and ideas are continuously shared and negotiated, while considering challenges, opportunities, and constraints. Overall, the project can be seen as a broad landscape for dialogue between various human and nonhuman actors: students, teachers, classes, institutions, stakeholders, community, environment, and monuments. Many artefacts were used and produced, including working materials and videos, renderings, and posters prepared by students. Working sessions were video-recorded, and teachers were interviewed. We qualitatively analyzed these materials to understand what type of dialogue is activated by the multiplicity of agents involved in the project and to reflect upon the role school should cover to support active citizenship.
Using Microblogging to Create a Space for Attending and Attuning to Others
Authors: Rasmussen Ingvill , Warwick Paul 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to view technology-mediated classroom dialogue through the lens of Ragnar Rommetveit’s ideas of attunement and intersubjectivity. The authors draw on work from an international research project that examined the use of one microblogging tool in classrooms in Norway and England and present vignettes of classroom practice. Through the use of vignettes, the authors highlight examples of classroom practice that demonstrate how a combination of spoken dialogue and microblogging can foster students’ attentiveness and attunement towards the thoughts and ideas of their peers. Moreover, this integration of technology and dialogue promotes intersubjectivity within a classroom community, allowing for the co-construction of knowledge. Ultimately, the authors shed light on the potential benefits of microblogging as a tool for enhancing classroom dialogue and facilitating a collaborative learning environment.
The Importance of Intersubjectivity in Teacher–Child Joint Story Construction
Authors: Hagtvet Bente Eriksen , Hølland Silje , Brinchmann Ellen , Inger Engevik Liv , Karlsen Jannicke , Kruse Jana 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter reports on a study of how teacher–child intersubjectivity relates to teacher–child joint picture-book story construction and teacher mediation. We carried out an in-depth qualitative study of six teacher–child dyads including 5-to-8-year-old children varying in cognitive-linguistic skills (typical development, impaired language, and Down syndrome). By comparing the joint story constructions of dyads at high and low levels of intersubjectivity within each language group, we obtained detailed information on how their story constructions and teacher mediation related to levels of intersubjectivity. The results showed that within each language group, dyads scoring high on teacher–child intersubjectivity co-constructed longer, more nuanced, and more comprehensive stories than did the dyads scoring low. The role of the mediating teacher in co-constructing the stories with a basis in intersubjectivity was essential to both the construction process and the qualities produced. The findings have implications for educators and policy makers involved in teaching and educational planning.
Amitis Motevalli
Authors: Vikram Anuradha 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers the work of the interdisciplinary artist Amitis Motevalli, who confronts desire as Othering by embodying and figuring the woman of color as a “problem condition” in a culture that simultaneously lusts for foreign plunder while displaying crippling xenophobia. As an Iranian American, Motevalli occupies a racially ambiguous space as part of a community that has been granted “white” status when it serves the majority and racialized at other times. This chapter examines works in Motevalli’s oeuvre from the perspective of sexuality and race, while considering intersecting concerns including gender, class, xenophobia and Islamophobia, and immigration rights. Motevalli’s work ranges from drawing and painting to interventions in public spaces and in museums. Her practice of disidentification with racial stereotypes and gender tropes is anchored in a strategy of “terrorist drag,” a term coined by José Esteban Muñoz to describe the work of Motevalli’s mentor, the artist Vaginal Davis.
Sexual Racism as White Privilege
Authors: Robinson Russell K. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter centers people of color and focuses on how White privilege functions as an unwritten script in their sexual interactions with White partners. Drawing on qualitative interview data from a United States-based study known as the LGBT Relationships Study, the chapter examines the accounts of those who experienced fetishization (n = 48) to unmask the process of how White privilege may sculpt the negotiation of desire, sex, and power within interracial sexualized encounters in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex communities. Data analysis yielded three themes: (1) White privilege sets the scene by projecting coconstructed gendered, sexualized, and racialized assumptions on people of color and their sexual possibilities, (2) White privilege restricts negotiation because people of color risk losing access to sexual and romantic encounters, and (3) White privilege infuses resistance. Building on these findings, this chapter explores opportunities to recalibrate such dynamics toward healthier, more mutual sexual and romantic relationships.
Curating Desire
Authors: Egwuatu Chibundo , Stardust Zahra , Miller-Young Mireille , Ducati Daisy 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Black porn performers have long criticized the industry’s racial stratification, identifying how nonwhite bodies are ranked and inferiorized in pornographic labor, representation, and distribution. More recently, these issues have been amplified as streaming sites increasingly rely on automation and machine learning to codify racism and sort user-generated content at scale. This chapter explores how “tagging” practices on the world’s largest online pornography site, Pornhub, both presume and manufacture a white gaze by invisibilizing whiteness in their search categories. It shows how sexual racism and white supremacy shape the grammar of tagging, curate audience desire, and impact the visibility (and, thus, livelihood) of performers. This chapter argues the project of “undesiring whiteness, undoing sexual racism” requires a creative revisioning of tagging regimes to dismantle lexicons, semiotics, and systems of desirability that center whiteness in pornography, in addition to the decentralization of Internet infrastructure, material resources, and porn distribution.
Approaching Chord Tones from Below
Authors: McNeil John , Nielsen Ryan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 4 discusses ways in which to ornament the root triad by approaching each chord tone from a half-step below. New rhythms are introduced that emphasize the importance of the upbeat or “and” of four in jazz. The Lesson Plan addresses how to move from chord to chord with these new melodic ornaments. The teacher’s notes cover upbeats and harmonic anticipation, intuitive jazz rhythm, and ornamenting major triads. Notes for the rhythm section cover lightly kicking upbeats in the drums and ornamenting chord voicings from a half-step below on piano and guitar.
Approaching Chord Tones from Above
Authors: McNeil John , Nielsen Ryan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 5 looks into how to design melodies that approach chord tones from above by scale-step. In preparation for improvising on the entire chord or scale in chapter 8, a new shape is applied to diatonic 3rds. The rhythms in this chapter continue to emphasize the importance of the “and” of four upbeat. More attention is given to ways of moving from one chord to the next. Longer melodic lines are designed using approach tones. The notes for the rhythm section consider adding approach tones to bass lines and approaching chord voicings for piano or guitar from above.
Regulating Bodies
Authors: Schultz Jaime 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Regulating Bodies: Elite Sport Policies and Their Unintended Consequences presents the first global history of protective policies in elite sports. It discusses the scientization of the sport and the lasting influence of protective policies on discourses around age, weight, sex, impairment, and enhancement. The classifications are promoted to safeguard the health and well-being of athletes and the spirit of fair play. However, protective policies can be shallow solutions to deep problems. An analysis of the development of protective policies further exposes their unintended consequences, including unethical and unhealthy practices, discrimination, and the loss of autonomy. Regulating Bodies offers alternative strategies for the next generation of high-performance athletes.
Introduction
Authors: Schultz Jaime 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This introductory chapter covers the significance of protective policies in elite sport. It starts with the doping allegation against fifteen-year-old Russian Olympic figure skater Kamila Valieva and whether she should be held responsible or be protected under the anti-doping code. The chapter then explains four type of protectionism embedded in elite sport policies: to protect the spirit of fair play; create “protected classes” of athletes; protect the health and well-being of athletes; and safeguard the image and interests of sport. The chapter also elaborates on the notion of discrimination in sport, one of several unintended consequences of protective policies.
Regulating Weight
Authors: Schultz Jaime 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 1 focuses on the regulation of body weight and the dangers of rapid weight loss regimens in the name of better sport. Rapid weight loss is an unintended consequence of weight-based policies, since administrators typically set weight limits and weight classes to protect the spirit of fair competition. The chapter details the importance of weight in the history of horse racing, boxing, and mixed martial arts. It considers some alternatives for a better weight regulation processes, such as educational initiatives or setting a maximum weight regain allowance.
