Music and mutuality
Authors: Wolf Dennie Palmer , Anderson Kate , Ortiz Tiffany 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Chapter 11 uses work with families during Carnegie Hall’s Lullaby Project to explore the possibility that musical activities can support the development of mutuality as a source for caregivers’ wellbeing. A major purpose is to bring to light some of the mechanisms that may underlie the growing body of evidence for the effectiveness of musical interventions during the early and challenging period of family formation. To do this, the chapter shares an in-depth case study of a mother and her toddler son, detailing changes in three domains: self-efficacy or agency; role satisfaction; and changes in interactions that include new forms of being together such as joint play and a growing understanding of each other’s internal worlds. In closing, the chapter argues that the development of mutuality is fundamental to families’ long-term wellbeing.
Responsible Pleasure
Authors: Rusterholz Caroline 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This book is a sociocultural history of young people’s sexuality in Britain from the 1960s to the 1990s, using the Brook Advisory Centre (Brook) as a case study. The book examines how and why cultural and social norms about young people’s sexuality changed over a period that has traditionally been associated with growing ‘permissiveness’ and sexual liberation. It does so by focusing on a pioneering sexual health charity operating on the cusp of voluntary and state-financed sectors. From the opening of its first centre in London—followed by other centres including Birmingham (1966), Bristol (1968), and Edinburgh (1968)—to the present day, Brook has been a major provider of contraceptive advice and sexual counselling to unmarried people and teenagers. Brook pioneered an initiative that would form the primary model for the provision of advice on contraception for teenagers in Britain. To this day, the charity remains a key player in sexual health services. Although Brook has provoked fierce opposition and triggered recurrent public debates on teenage sexuality, little is known of its history. As a non-governmental organization, Brook offers a fascinating case study to explore the relationship between changing sexual cultures, sexual politics, and young people’s sexual experiences, intimacy, and subjectivities. Drawing on a wide range of archived and published materials, as well as oral history interviews conducted by the author, this book provides a substantial and original contribution to scholarship on the forging of the modern sexual subject.
Locality and Controversy
Authors: Rusterholz Caroline 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 describes the conditions under which a selection of centres was implemented. It takes the opening of five Brook branches in Britain and their local centres (London, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, and Liverpool) as case studies to illuminate the impact of locality on the controversy about young people’s sexuality and shows the intertwining of local and sexual politics. Each case study reveals the discursive and political boundaries of the definition of legitimate sexuality, and sheds light on the key players behind the centres, their motivations, and their opponents. In the face of opposition, this chapter argues that Brook supporters needed to develop strategies that would mitigate criticism and appease, to a certain extent, the fears and anxieties of opponents. These strategies were the resort to the support of medical authorities and to a narrative focused on sexual responsibility.
The Centres
Authors: Rusterholz Caroline 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Chapter 4 considers the setting up of Brook Advisory Centres from material and sensory angles. It shows the criteria that were taken into consideration when opening a centre, and underlines the importance of the location, its accessibility, and the layout of the centre in enabling the smooth running of the latter. In addition to the materiality of the centre, the sensory element was key to making sure young people felt welcome. Brook recognized that an agreeable atmosphere depended as much on the staff as it did on the centre’s décoration and ambience. Staff were recruited based on their attitude towards young people’s sexuality. Music, biscuits, tea, and coffee were all elements that contributed to creating a relaxed and friendly environment.
Authorship, Authority, and Agonism
Authors: Taylor Helena 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the relationship between knowledge of Latin and Greek culture, authority, and polemic in the work of Marie de Gournay. It first analyses her figuration of the female intellectual in her autobiographical writings. Mingling the individual and the collective, negotiating the tension between the recognition conferred by erudite classical knowledge and her marginalised access, and grounded in an urgent need to solicit favour, she offers herself as a test case for what she identifies as the aporia represented by the female intellectual. Then the chapter turns to her translations, first of prose (Tacitus, Sallust, Cicero), examining her appropriation of the polemical voice, her reflections on good governance and merit, and her (contested) theories of language and poetics, which are, it is then shown, defended in her translation of Virgil’s Aeneid, and her poetry. Finally, the chapter explores her reception to query the periodisation implicit in her frequent relegation from the seventeenth century.
‘Classics’ as Commodity
Authors: Taylor Helena 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the relationship between the literary market, reception of antiquity, and an author’s career by focusing on Madame de Villedieu, who published seven works of ancient historical fiction. By examining Villedieu’s relationship with her chief publisher, Claude Barbin, the querelle involving her play, Manlius, the authorial posture she constructed through her prefaces, the privilèges d’auteur she solicited, and her self-conscious authorial naming, the chapter shows that Villedieu did not follow or aspire to the paradigmatic posture of aristocratic detachment towards the book trade. Instead, it argues that she positioned her authorial identity and her ‘galant’ ancient historical fiction in such a way as to celebrate commercial success and to exploit the opposition between savant and galant culture, thus remodelling literary value, troubling the dichotomy between commercial and intellectual prestige. The chapter then explores the influence of Villedieu’s distinct approach by looking at Catherine Bernard and Anne de La Roche-Guilhen.
Ancients and Moderns
Authors: Taylor Helena 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The fairy tale, which came to prominence in the 1690s, was an explicitly ‘modern’ genre, cultivated by Charles Perrault and a group of women, the conteuses. This chapter studies the fairy tales and a wide range of texts (periodicals, journals, lettres, Parnassus fictions) by some of these conteuses: Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy, Charlotte-Rose de La Force, Marie-Jeanne L’Héritier, and Henriette-Julie de Murat. It shows how they distinguished their modernity from that of Perrault: they emphasised more ‘prestigious sources’ (medieval troubadours, medieval romance, the fable, and, significantly, classical intertext) and championed women and female lineages. It draws on work that has seen the fairy tale as metadiscursive, or as literary criticism, to show how across all their diverse works, these writers trouble hierarchisations of genre, reflect on the values and parameters of belles-lettres or literature, and articulate a feminine savoir that promoted erudition alongside entertainment through the vaunted figure of the ‘savante moderne’.
On the Gods and the World
Authors: Hladký Vojtěch 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This book offers a new and thorough interpretation of the entire text of the Derveni papyrus, a multilayered and intricate philosophical and religious treatise written in Greek, probably around 400 BCE. Since its discovery in 1962, the papyrus has been attracting the attention of scholars in several areas of Classical studies, mostly ancient philosophy and religion but also literary criticism. The anonymous author of the text quotes a previously unknown Orphic poem and comments on it using philosophical motifs and notions borrowed from various Presocratic thinkers, especially Heraclitus and Anaxagoras and his followers. The study offers an ‘all-embracing’ interpretation of various aspects of this complex text and tries to situate concepts and ideas which appear in the text within their original contexts. The material is divided in chapters dedicated to different aspects of the Derveni papyrus: the opening columns describing a peculiar ritual, the Orphic theogony and its explanation with the help of Presocratic allegorical, theological, and physical conceptual devices. In general, the study argues that rather than being the work of a philosophising Orphic initiate, the Derveni treatise contains text written by a late Presocratic philosopher. An analysis of sources upon which the Derveni papyrus is based thus ultimately indicates that the author of the text was probably active in Athens in late 5th century BCE and may have been a person close to the Presocratic thinker Archelaus.
Commentary on the Poem
Authors: Hladký Vojtěch 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The chapter examines the formal and conceptual approaches of the Derveni commentator to the Orphic poem. It opens with a short overview of his linguistic tools, but is mostly devoted to explaining the features of the Derveni poem as cosmic principles. In the interpretation here, the physical account follows closely the succession of divine generations. In the primeval mixture, the most prominent principle, fire, is entangled with the Night, the principle of cold. The cosmic Mind intervenes and creates the Sun. They are then surrounded and permeated by the intelligent Air. The chapter situates the concepts of the Derveni cosmogony within the various doctrines of the late Presocratics. It discusses the influences of Heraclitus, Anaxagoras and his followers; the thinker closest to the Derveni author seems to be Archelaus. Although the definitive attribution to a particular philosopher will perhaps remain unanswered, it may confidently be located to late fifth-century Athens.
Blackstone's Guide to the Human Rights Act 1998
Authors: Wadham John , Mountfield KC Helen , Desai Raj , Hannett KC Sarah , Jones Jessica , Mitchell Eleanor , Wills Aidan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The Blackstone’s Guide to the Human Rights Act 1998 provides clear, concise coverage of the operation and application of the Human Rights Act 1998, discussing the successes and criticisms of the Act and its possible amendment or its replacement. It also sets out the recent erosion of the universal applicability of the remedies in the Human Rights Act by the Illegal Migration Act 2023 and other current proposals. The Guide considers the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the impact of Convention rights in landmark domestic judgments across a wide range of areas, including terrorism, privacy, discrimination, and criminal law. It explains the interpretive techniques employed by the courts to read legislation compatibly with Convention rights and the jurisdiction to declare legislation incompatible with Convention rights. Finally, the last chapter sets out how to make an application to the Strasbourg Court and sets out in detail how that Court works. The new edition of this popular Guide considers the key developments since the publication of the previous edition nine years ago. The book contains an up-to-date copy of the Human Rights Act 1998, and the text of the rights in the European Convention on Human Rights which are now a central part of UK law.
The Framework of the European Convention on Human Rights
Authors: Wadham John , Mountfield Helen , Desai Raj , Hannett Sarah , Jones Jessica , Mitchell Eleanor , Wills Aidan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter sets out the basic principles of the European Convention on Human Rights as interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights, focusing on the purpose of the Convention and the effectiveness in practice of Convention rights. The chapter assesses how the Court takes account of other human rights treaties, the issue of state responsibility for protecting rights, and the limits on its jurisdiction. It also considers how different rights are categorized into absolute, limited, and qualified rights. A summary of the concept of a state’s positive obligations, particularly in relation to the right to life and the prevention of ill-treatment, is also provided. Where the Court has accepted that restrictions on rights are necessary the tests that the Court applies are set out. A note is provided on the other restrictions on rights by a particular state’s reservations and derogations, and the meaning and impact of the ‘Margin of Appreciation’ on policy is outlined.
Enforcing the Human Rights Act
Authors: Wadham John , Mountfield Helen , Desai Raj , Hannett Sarah , Jones Jessica , Mitchell Eleanor , Wills Aidan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter describes how the Human Rights Act is enforced in domestic courts, and addresses the appropriate forum for an argument under the Human Rights Act. The chapter addresses standing; limitation periods; retrospectivity; interventions in Human Rights Act cases by public interest groups and by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, as well as other means of enforcement by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The chapter considers remedies in Human Rights Act cases, namely damages, declarations of incompatibility under section 4 of the Human Rights Act and the section 10 ‘fast track’ procedure. Finally, key Convention concepts in the domestic courts—territoriality, positive obligations, legality, and proportionality—are discussed.
The Convention Rights: Absolute Rights
Authors: Wadham John , Mountfield Helen , Desai Raj , Hannett Sarah , Jones Jessica , Mitchell Eleanor , Wills Aidan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter summarizes the so-called absolute rights in Articles 1–4 of the European Convention on Human Rights, namely the right to life (art 2), the prohibition on torture and inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment (art 3), and the prohibition on slavery and forced labour (art 4). For each article, an overview is given of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and any remaining important cases from the European Commission on Human Rights. The approach of the domestic courts under the Human Rights Act is discussed alongside the European case law, and any divergences are noted. In the case of each article, consideration is given to the positive, negative, and procedural aspects of these Convention rights.
The Convention Rights: Limited and Qualified Rights
Authors: Wadham John , Mountfield Helen , Desai Raj , Hannett Sarah , Jones Jessica , Mitchell Eleanor , Wills Aidan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter summarizes the content of the limited and qualified rights under Articles 5–14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, covering the right to liberty and security; the right to a fair trial; the prohibition on punishment without law; the right to respect for private and family life; freedom of thought, conscience, and religion; freedom of expression; freedom of assembly and association; the right to marry; and the prohibition on discrimination. The chapter also addresses the general restrictions on rights found in Articles 15–18, namely derogations from certain rights; restrictions on political activity of aliens; prohibition on abuse of rights; and limitation on use of restrictions on rights. For each article, an overview is given of European Court of Human Rights case law and important cases from the European Commission on Human Rights. The approach of the domestic courts under the Human Rights Act is also discussed.
Reasons and Explanation
Authors: Robert Howard Nathan , Schroeder Mark 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter continues our task in Part 2 to explore the connections between reasons and closely associated concepts by considering the relationship between reasons and explanation. The explanatory role of reasons establishes that reasons have some connection to explanation but underspecifies what that role is. This chapter begins with the idea that this connection comes from the nature of reasons, because what it is to be a reason is to be an explanation of something. Problems for the idea that reasons are explanations of what you ought to do are introduced and addressed. The fallback views that reasons are explanations of other things—value, desire-promotion, or mass noun reason—are introduced and compared. And the alternative idea that the explanatory role of reasons comes not from the nature of reasons, but from the nature of ought, is introduced and motivated.
Selection in Variable Environments
Authors: Kassen Rees 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Natural populations occupy environments that are more spatially, temporally, and biologically complex than the simple models of adaptation discussed in previous chapters can accommodate. This chapter considers how three additional factors—dispersal causing gene flow, how much the conditions of growth vary in space or in time, and the impact of the biotic community—on the outcome of selection and adaptive evolution. Special attention is paid to the evolution of niche breadth and the maintenance of genetic variation, as niche specialization is a necessary condition for the long-term maintenance of diversity.
Genomics of Adaptation
Authors: Kassen Rees 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The search for the genetic changes responsible for adaptation has been the “holy grail” of adaptation research. As the costs of next-generation sequencing technologies have come down over the years, the grail is now easily within reach of most labs. This chapter synthesizes the results of “evolve-and-resequence” studies that identify the sequence changes in an evolved strain or population. These kinds of studies provide insight into the dynamics of molecular evolution and the connection between genotype and phenotype. Topics of particular interest include rates of substitution, the spectrum of adaptive and nonadaptive substitutions, the genetic targets of adaptation, and the genetic architecture underlying adaptation.
Novelty and Innovation
Authors: Kassen Rees 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Natural selection can only work with the materials it has at hand. How, then, can a truly novel trait ever evolve? A compelling answer has been elusive because researchers have focused either on genetics or ecology, but rarely both, in their explanations. Microbial evolution offers the unique opportunity to study both genetics and ecology in detail. This chapter considers what we have learned about the evolution of novelty from microbial selection experiments. This work reveals that the genetic routes to novelty can be more variable than standard models have led us to believe and underscores the importance of considering both genetics and ecology in this process.
Decolonizing Freedom
Authors: Weir Allison 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This book draws on Indigenous political theories and practices of decolonization grounded in conceptions of relationality and resurgence, in dialogue with Western philosophies, to re-encounter and reconstruct a tradition of relational freedom as a distinctive political conception of freedom: a radically democratic mode of engagement and participation in social and political relations with an infinite range of strange and diverse beings perceived as free agents in interdependent relations in a shared world. This conception of freedom involves meeting strangeness, danger, and conflict with a philoxenic ethic oriented toward relations of reciprocity. This is a performative mode of freedom as world-creation, rooted in land as a system of relationships among interdependent beings in an animate universe. Drawing on work by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, John Borrows, Glen Coulthard, Audra Simpson, Rauna Kuokkanen, Joanne Barker, Jodi Byrd, James Tully, Robert Nichols, and many others, this book traces a tradition of colonial unknowing in Western conceptions of freedom from Hobbes through republican and critical theories, and explores a countertradition of relations between freedom and love, exemplified in Leanne Betasamosake Simpson’s love of land and Hannah Arendt’s love of the world. This book calls for a coalitional politics guided by queer and feminist Indigenous models of transformative resurgence, and it proposes an approach to critical theory as a practice of self-transformation through openness to the other, oriented toward relational freedom.
For Love of the World
Authors: Weir Allison 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
For Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Indigenous freedom is a practice of engagement in relations with land, where land is the web of relations that connect all beings. This chapter considers the connections between Simpson’s formulation of freedom through love of land and the concept of amor mundi—love of the world—as the spirit of political freedom in the work of Hannah Arendt. To mediate between the two, this chapter takes up Ella Myers’s linking of democratic politics to an ethic of care for the world. The chapter argues that political contestations between Indigenous people and colonizing states over the meanings of land challenge divisions between human and nonhuman agency, and between public and private care. The chapter suggests that transformative reconciliation requires an ethics of philoxenic solidarity among heterogeneous beings, a risky politics of care for the wellbeing of diverse others and for the web of relations that connect us.
Conclusion
Authors: Weir Allison 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
If the aim of critical theory is freedom, a critical theory of freedom from relations of colonization would involve a method of critique as a practice of encounter with the other, oriented toward the transformation of ourselves and our relations, guided by an ethos of freedom in relations of reciprocity. This method informs a practice of freedom from colonial unknowing through reparative encounters between Euro-American and Indigenous critical theories, and among a constellation of critical theories of resistance to multiple forms of domination. This is a method of critical theory as a practice both of and for freedom: a practice of critique that is both engaged in resistance and oriented toward an ideal of relational freedom emergent from our intersecting histories. This method draws on Black and Indigenous theories and politics of transformative justice and transformative resurgence, including Patrisse Cullors, Ruby Sales, and Dian Million, with Michel Foucault, Pierre Hadot, Eve Sedgwick, and Saba Mahmood.
Federalism
Authors: Francis Leslie P. , Francis John G. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Federalist political institutions have been justified for respecting cultural differences, bringing government closer to the people, permitting experimentation, achieving important policy goals, and tempering the impact of factions. This chapter argues that all of these justifications require possibilities of movement to areas of the country that are more protective of individual rights. It also explores how in the “compound republic” that is the United States, respective roles of the national and state governments are fluid and changing. U.S. federalism today is very different from federalism as imagined 250 years ago. There are many more states, extreme differences among state populations and wealth, easy transportation and communication across state boundaries, stronger roles for the federal courts, and increasingly entrenched political polarization. Negotiating today’s federalism raises difficult ethical issues for providers and their patients.
