Afterword: On Certainty
Authors: Cook Nicholas 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis begins as a coda to Chapter 9 but draws on many themes from the book. In music as elsewhere, modernity has involved the abstraction of models of the world that are then treated as if they were the world. Musical notations are highly reductive—as cues for complex, real-time action they have to be—and cannot embody everything that matters in music. Ignoring or eliminating what is not rationalised gives rise to the false certainties that, among other things, underpin the oppressive culture of classical performance today. But music also shows how the irrational can be mobilised within the rationalised systems that structure everyday life. Approached from the relational perspective put forward in this book, music can suggest ways in which the reified structures of modernity can be humanised. Music cannot bring about a better world, but it does provide some hints as to what it might look like.
The Unfinished Quest
Authors: Paul T.V. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The Unfinished Quest: India’s Search for Major Power Status from Nehru to Modi presents the path that India has taken toward higher regional and global status. It discusses the challenges and key motivations driving Indian leaders to enhance India’s global status and power position. As the economies of China and India grow rapidly, the power balance between them is determined by their ability to develop both hard and soft power assets. The Unfinished Quest also covers a new framework built around status competition for understanding the China-India rivalry and India’s relative position in the Indo-Pacific theater as a swing power. It identifies indicators of greater status as benchmarks in the assessment of India’s history of development, status competition, and transitions in the contemporary international system. It contends that advancing an inclusive democratic political order, greater human development-oriented economic strategy, and deft diplomacy will be necessary to improve and legitimize India’s status in the years to come.
Soft Power
Authors: Paul T.V. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter tackles the importance of soft-power markers for a country seeking higher status and influence. It explains that soft power is based on intangible indicators such as culture, civilization, literature, and political system. Soft power can affect social recognition and the policies of others in congruence with the influencing party’s preferences, as the latter has something valuable to offer and is also worth emulating. The chapter then covers India’s deep multiethnic culture, grand civilizational assets, and potential for producing and projecting soft power. It explains that some of India’s soft power assets for status enhancements have not been utilized effectively or are constrained by countervailing factors. Today that include increasing questions on the resilience of India’s democracy, secularism and inclusive economic development, in particular the polity’s tolerance toward minorities.
State Capacity
Authors: Paul T.V. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on state capacity and its impact on India’s status quest. While India already has made many advancements since its independence in 1947, the goalpost of India and its status markers have changed since the early days of independence. The Indian elite and many in the general public believe that India could rise to the ranks of an advanced state and a major power fairly soon. The chapter discusses the weak state syndrome and the economic strategy that does not pay adequate attention to inclusive development or resolving the deep inequalities as the two associated domestic level constraints that inhibit India’s rapid status elevation.
Three Jewish Conversion Songs
Authors: Drummond Henry T. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Throughout much of its history, the Crown of Castile was a home for Jewish citizens. Their social status and living conditions vacillated throughout the centuries. While some of Alfonso X’s policies towards his non-Christian subjects could be considered relatively moderate, his treatment of Jews towards the latter years of his reign became particularly brutal. The three songs discussed in this chapter address themes of Jewishness and conversion to Christianity. Here, song narratives tell—both explicitly and implicitly—of characters turning away from their Jewish faith following the Virgin’s intervention. The use of specific character names, many of which coincide in the songs with points of rhyme, gives focus to these figures’ Jewish identities, through which antisemitic tropes are laid out and a political agenda alluded to that proselytizes conversion. Rhyme placement therefore amplifies the songs’ moralistic messages, highlighting the need to evangelize and convert non-believers through love for the Virgin Mary.
Judgment, Perception, and Attention in the Cultivation of Emotions
Authors: Perkins Franklin 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe cultivation of emotions is a common theme in philosophical traditions across the world. One common method for cultivating emotions addresses the element of appraisal on which emotions depend. The first half of this chapter provides an orientation on these issues as they appear in early China, considering first some of the ideals for a cultivated affective life (section 1) and then how the appraisal element of emotions was understood (section 2). The second half of the paper takes up one specific case in detail, analyzing Mengzi’s approach to the cultivation of emotions in dialogue with that of Stoics. While argument and judgment play important roles for Mengzi, he believes that changing our appraisals depends most of all on cultivating perception and attention. The paper concludes with some reflections on the central issues at stake in the disagreements between Mengzi and the Stoics.
Afterword: The Emotions in the Ancient Greco-Roman and Chinese Worlds
Authors: Lloyd G. E. R. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis short afterword reflects upon some of the issues raised by the volume as whole, especially those connected with cross-cultural variability in the experience and conceptualization of affectivity and emotion, with the status of emotions as biological and cultural phenomena, with the challenges posed by the overall project of cross-cultural comparison, and with variation within cultures in representations of and approaches to emotion. A substantial emphasis is placed on social functions in specific cultural contexts. In conclusion, the chapter summarizes some of the main results of the volume, draws connections between chapters, and surveys the prospects for further work on these topics.
Volatility
Authors: Zhang Angela Huyue 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter uses the 2020–2022 tech crackdown in China as a case study to illustrate how the dynamic pyramid model can cause extreme volatility in regulation. Initially, China’s leadership promoted entrepreneurship and innovation to fuel economic growth. This created a lenient regulatory environment, favoring the expansion of domestic tech giants, but also allowing regulatory tensions to escalate. When these issues loomed into crises, the regulatory pendulum swung toward harsh crackdown, leading to many unintended effects that undermined investor confidence and hurt employment. These effects, coupled with economic slowdown and stock market sell-off, exerted pressure on Chinese leadership to ease its policies. Thus, Chinese tech regulation entered a third phase, where previous measures were scaled back, returning to routine enforcement.
Fragility
Authors: Zhang Angela Huyue 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces a framework for evaluating the impact of regulation, underscoring side effects and information lag as key factors impacting the resilience of regulatory outcome. The greater the side effects, the stronger the resistance to the policy; conversely, a longer information lag potentially magnifies policy damage and complicates remediation efforts. Although the dynamic pyramid model of regulation can be effective when policy side effects are minimal, unintended consequences can often result in undesirable outcomes. This is particularly true when there is a significant delay in top policymakers realizing the extent of the side effects. Through the lens of four policy challenges—China’s Covid policy, the energy crisis, the property crackdown, and the one-child policy—the chapter explores the fragility of the dynamic pyramid model. It also discusses potential strategies to reduce side effects and information lags, highlighting the transition from decentralized policy experiments to centralized decision-making under Xi’s regime.
The Two Faces of Fear
Authors: Villarreal Ana 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In The Two Faces of Fear, Ana Villarreal draws on two years of qualitative fieldwork conducted during a major turf war in Monterrey, Mexico to trace the far-reaching impact of fear and violence on social ties, daily practices, and everyday spaces. Villarreal brings two seemingly contradictory faces of fear into focus—its ability to both isolate and concentrate people and resources, deepening inequality. While all residents of one of Mexico’s largest metropolises confronted new threats, the most privileged leveraged vastly unequal resources to spatially concentrate and defend one municipality more fiercely than the rest. Within this defended city, business, nightlife, and public space thrived at the expense of the greater metropolis. The book puts forth a new approach to the study of emotion and provides tangible evidence of how quickly fear and violence worsen inequality beyond Mexico and the “war on drugs.”
An Oasis from War
Authors: Villarreal Ana 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines shifts in leisure practices and use of public space, including the surprising success of an open-streets program in San Pedro called San Pedro de Pinta. As outdoor activities and frequenting nearby towns were temporarily abandoned, all relocated leisure practices within the metropolis and most often indoors. For the privileged in the defended city, a highly policed open-streets program created an oasis from war—an opportunity to “bond” and “forget about everything else.” Efforts to re-create a similar open-streets program in every other municipality revealed deep and widening disparities. No other municipality had the infrastructure and resources of San Pedro. While the most privileged celebrated leaving their cars aside and momentarily adopting a pedestrian lifestyle, everyday pedestrians were increasingly criminalized.
Introduction
Authors: Holland Timothy 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The introduction explores Derrida’s remarks in a 2001 interview with Cahiers du cinéma to establish the stakes of both his thinking of the cinematic medium and this book. Specifically, the introduction asks how we might approach the writing of Derrida’s account of the fleeting cinematic experience—a medium that, for the most part, he did not address in writing himself. These challenges animate the project, inviting a reconsideration of Derrida’s early meditations on the deconstructive trace relative to the experience and cultures of cinema that, he admits to his interviewers, leave no trace in him. The introduction argues that Derrida’s remarks summon the reassessment of not only this apparent “blind spot” of his oeuvre but also the pleasures affiliated with the movies as they inform the work affiliated with the academy, as well as theories of spectatorship organized around the bonds of identification and rational knowledge.
Il faut vraiment lui laisser ça
Authors: Holland Timothy 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The fourth chapter takes as its starting point Derrida’s contention during his Cahiers du cinéma interview that the popular relation to the movies should be left to remain as it has been. Rather than leveraging Derrida’s appeal against cinema’s artistic or discursive refinement, the chapter hears it as an opening onto some of the pressing institutional questions facing contemporary film and media studies, namely the survival of cinema and its dedicated analysis or role among the investments of the modern university and the ascension of digital media. Avoiding prescriptive language, diagnoses, and potential remedies, the chapter probes these questions through Derrida’s reflections on the university, the role of philosophy, and the theme of survival, in addition to the work of others addressing similar topics as well as those interrogating the past, present, and future of film studies.
Emerging Bio-Technologies for Disruptive Effects in Grey Zone Engagements
Authors: DeFranco Joseph , DiEuliis Diane , Bremseth, and L. R. , Giordano James 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Current global conflicts are assuming ever more asymmetric and grey zone forms. Ongoing developments in neurosciences and technologies, which trend toward five- to fifteen-year trajectories of progression, make the brain sciences valid, viable, and of growing value for operational use in national security applications. While many types of weaponizable neurosciences and technologies (e.g. chemicals, biological agents, and toxins) have been addressed in and by extant forums, treaties, conventions, and laws, other newer techniques and their non-kinetic uses have not. Apropos these developments, this chapter presents the national security relevance of neurosciences and technologies, describes current and probable future trajectories of major strategic competitors’ activities in this space, posits how such developments bring into stark relief existing gaps in international conventions, illustrates problems of current international ethical-legal approaches to regulating the use of neuroscience and technology in grey zone engagements, and proposes steps towards rectification of current and future oversight and governance.
From Red Scare to Red Scare, Grey Zone to Grey Zone
Authors: Wentzell Tyler , Falk Barbara J. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
While social media platforms allow for depth of engagement and new opportunities for disruption, this chapter argues that State weaponization of domestic dissent is neither new nor novel. Russia has a long history of weaponizing dissent in the West, and the West has a long history of overestimating its extent and efficacy. Moreover, during the Cold War, the West also weaponized dissent, literally and figuratively, in grey zone activities in Eastern Europe. Our historical approach to this phenomenon analyses both the offensive and defensive actions of the Soviet Union and Canada and the United States. A major advantage of a historical perspective is that it highlights the very real harms done not only by the Soviet Union but also by our own over-reactions—in effect via the political, law enforcement, and judicial decisions that undermined the very democratic values that we were fighting to defend in the first place.
Difference-in-Differences
Authors: Chilton Adam , Rozema Kyle 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter covers the difference-in-differences research design. It first describes how the method estimates the causal effects of an intervention by using another group that was not affected by the intervention as a control group. It then describes how the method compares the change in the outcome from before to after the event in the treatment group to the change in the outcome over the same time period in the control group. Finally, it explains the assumptions required for the difference-in-differences research design to produce causal estimates and the common types of evidence that are presented to assess those assumptions.
Introduction
Authors: Marsden George M. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This introductory chapter begins by discussing the proposal that mainstream American higher education should be more open to explicit discussion of the relationship between religious faith and learning. It argues that scholars who have religious faith should be reflecting on the intellectual implications of that faith and bringing those reflections into the mainstream of intellectual life. The chapter then sets out the purpose of the book, which is to provide some positive guidelines for what the author has in mind when he urges that Christian perspectives and the perspectives of other religious groups be accepted as legitimate in the mainstream academy. It seeks to explain how, without resort to dogmatism or heavy-handed moralizing, Christian faith can be of great relevance to contemporary scholarship of the highest standards. A sub-theme is that such scholarship is an alternative not only to the hollow secularism that dominates mainstream academia but also to the simplistic “fundamentalisms” that present themselves as the only alternatives.
Introduction
Authors: Hudley Anne H. Charity , Montoya Ignacio L. , Mallinson Christine 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This introduction to Decolonizing Linguistics begins by explaining the motivation for the volume and its grounding in decolonizing initiatives within linguistics, the academy, and society more broadly. We discuss the volume’s understanding of decolonization as centering Black, Native, and Indigenous perspectives and explain the distinction between decolonization and inclusion, as well as why a specifically decolonizing perspective is necessary. Next, we describe the process of developing and creating the volume as an example of decolonizing and inclusive scholarly practice. We provide an overview of the chapters, contextualizing the volume’s major themes—decolonizing the discipline and the academy, decolonizing methods of research and teaching, and decolonizing linguistics by centering communities and activism—in relation to six key principles of decolonization work. Finally, we highlight the importance of engaging in decolonizing efforts holistically, collectively, and systemically as crucial to the ongoing project of advancing justice for Black, Native, and Indigenous scholars, students, and communities within linguistics.
Manifestations of Colonialism in Linguistics and Opportunities for Decolonization Through Refusal
Authors: Montoya Ignacio L. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on how colonialism manifests in the field of Linguistics and how academic linguists can contribute to decolonization. By identifying the ways in which the processes and products of academic linguistic work are based on a colonial legacy and continue to be extractive of the knowledge and cultural resources of Indigenous peoples, academic linguists working with Indigenous languages can identify ways to refuse the privileges afforded them by their association with settler-colonial institutions in order to allow for Indigenous control of linguistic and cultural resources. In doing so, new possibilities are created that make the field more ethical and inclusive and that broaden how we think about linguistic scholarship.
Centering Race and Multilingualism in French Linguistics
Authors: Smith Maya Angela 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter reflects on the author’s journey to explore language and Blackness in the traditionally anti-Black disciplines of linguistics and French studies. Her research interests and intellectual trajectory emerged from her personal experiences with language acquisition and racialization, the challenges she has encountered from a lack of resources on how to analyze racial identity formation in linguistics, and the strategies she has devised to confront these challenges. Through her research centering on qualitative interviews of members of the Francophone African diaspora, the author has learned how participants’ reflections on real-world language acquisition can counter the ongoing impacts of colonial linguistic hegemony and can help dismantle white supremacy, which relies on language ideologies to commodify, erase, and invalidate the linguistic experiences of members of the global majority. This chapter thus argues for expanding knowledge production, engaging in reflexivity, centering the voices that are least heard, and championing multilingual practices as methods for decolonizing linguistics and language study. Ce chapitre est une réflexion sur le parcours de l’auteure pour explorer la langue et la négritude dans les disciplines traditionnellement anti-noires de la linguistique et des études françaises. Ses intérêts de recherche et sa trajectoire intellectuelle ont émergé de ses expériences personnelles avec l’acquisition du langage et la racialisation, les défis qu’elle a rencontrés en raison d’un manque de ressources sur la façon d’analyser la formation de l’identité raciale en linguistique, et les stratégies qu’elle a conçues pour faire face à ces défis. À travers ses recherches, qui se concentrent sur des entretiens qualitatifs avec des membres de la diaspora africaine francophone, l’auteure a appris comment les réflexions des participants sur l’acquisition des langues dans le monde réel peuvent lutter contre les impacts continus de l’hégémonie linguistique coloniale et peuvent aider à démanteler la suprématie blanche, qui repose sur les idéologies linguistiques pour marchandiser, effacer et invalider les expériences linguistiques des membres de la majorité mondiale. Ce chapitre plaide donc pour élargir la production de connaissances, s’engager dans la réflexivité, centrer les voix les moins entendues et défendre les pratiques multilingues comme méthodes de décolonisation de la linguistique et de l’étude des langues.
Decolonizing Historical Linguistics in the Classroom and Beyond
Authors: Bowern Claire , Dockum Rikker 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The study of language variation and change is both one of the oldest areas of the scientific study of language, and one of the most global. Its origins (in European traditions) are steeped in Empire and colonialism. Yet it is also an important way to study relationships and dynamics between language and society. The field also contributes crucial insights from linguistics toward an understanding of how racist attitudes have been developed and justified by language. In this chapter, the authors discuss their experiences in decolonizing our classes in historical and introductory linguistics, as white instructors at two Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) on the East Coast of the United States, and we give examples of some activities that we used. We use these examples both to discuss how (and why) to improve the teaching of linguistic subfields which have been said to be “too hard” to decolonize, and as a chance to think through issues and approaches.
Open Methods
Authors: Villarreal Dan , Collister Lauren , by Edited , by Edited 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Open Methods are resources that pertain to at least one stage in the linguistics research process and are available free of charge to all who can find them. This chapter describes the current state of Open Methods in linguistics, including benefits and structural barriers to further development. Then, in the spirit of the dictum that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, the authors discuss how Open Access (a longer-developed cousin to Open Methods that focuses on publishing research) fails to adequately serve research(ers) in the global context despite its agreeable basic premise. They critically assess whether Open Methods can help decolonize linguistics research—or whether it merely allows already privileged linguistics to accrue greater privilege. The chapter ultimately presents a cautiously optimistic model for anticolonial Open Methods in linguistics, with recommendations and examples of practices and policies throughout.
