The impact of English on law in Southeast Asia
Authors: Powell Richard 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Southeast Asia includes one polity where English is the sole official medium of law, six where it is admissible to a greater or lesser extent alongside other languages, and four others where it has no official role but is increasingly important in areas such as commercial practice and legal education. Beyond national judicial systems, it has currency in private practice and community law. This diversity challenges monolithic conceptions of English-medium law and offers evidence of indigenization. However, legal and technical factors inhibiting linguistic change in law are reinforced by economic factors spreading the language unevenly through Southeast Asian populations. As a result, the use of English in law is often a mark of the elitist nature of legal practice. But it is a dynamic elitism, and those leveraging their English skills into lucrative or influential legal positions today are not necessarily the descendants of traditional English-using legal classes.
Variety shifting in Southeast Asia’s Outer Circle
Authors: Hashim Azirah , Chik Alice , Martinez Julius C. , McLellan James , Moody Andrew J. , Ooi Vincent B. Y. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Variety shifting is a feature of English use in Outer Circle contexts in which endonormic local varieties are used alongside exonormic standard varieties. This chapter will introduce some of the theoretical reasons for variety shifting and will survey the scholarly literature related to variety shifting. The phenomenon can often be closely associated with the use of English in the media or popular culture. To demonstrate the types of variety shifting that takes place in Southeast Asia’s Outer Circle societies, the chapter includes a detailed analysis of the phenomenon in the five Outer Circle societies: Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore.
Pidgins and creoles in Southeast Asia
Authors: Lim Lisa 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Starting from the observation that few English-based pidgins and creoles are documented for Southeast Asia, this chapter offers a discussion along three main pathways. It highlights the significance of other communities and language varieties in the history of contact in Southeast Asia—the Malay-speaking network of Monsoon Asia, the other European colonizers, in particular the Portuguese, and the Chinese from the Pearl River Delta—and their impact on the evolution of Southeast Asian Englishes. It examines how scholarly paradigms for contact varieties have afforded them differing treatments as pidgin and creole varieties, mixed languages, world Englishes, and hybrid Englishes. Finally, it offers a prognosis of their vitality, given Southeast Asia’s changing ecologies, especially in multilingual urban centres. Together these contemplations afford a more comprehensive and nuanced appreciation of the dynamics and outcomes, for a more inclusive account of contact languages and a more unified theorizing of English in Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asian components of the International Corpus of English (ICE)
Authors: Phoocharoensil Supakorn 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the International Corpus of English (ICE), which comprises written and spoken samples representing varieties of English as a native language and as a second language, the latter of which also includes the SEA components, i.e. Malaysian English, Singapore English, Hong Kong English, and Philippine English. Not only are the origin and developments of ICE corpora discussed, but also the guidelines to which individual ICE research teams adhere in the compilation of their corpus are comprehensively reviewed. While the spoken texts forming the database of each ICE corpus consist of dialogues and monologues, the written ones contain instructional, persuasive, and creative writing, and various types of informational writing specific to four major disciplines. Some significant limitations on the ICE corpora concern their small size and the questionable comparability of the components as a consequence of differences in sampling periods and speaker educational levels.
English in Cambodia
Authors: Hum Chan , Heng Kimkong 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses an English variety used in Cambodia, known as Cambodian English. The chapter begins with a brief history of English in Cambodia and examines the status of English in contemporary Cambodian society. It then discusses the unique features of Cambodian English, focusing on phonological, morphosyntatic, and discourse features. It elaborates on the functions of English as a major foreign language in Cambodia before examining emerging trends and other issues related to the widespread use of English in Cambodia. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the future of Cambodian English, as it apparently develops into a unique variety of world Englishes and Southeast Asian Englishes.
Theological Aesthetics and Clinical Care
Authors: Dempsey Ariel 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter is a personal reflection on aesthetic experience and explores a way in which theological aesthetics can contribute to clinical care. Whilst theological aesthetics warns that aesthetics alone might not cure medicine of what ails it, it also suggests that aesthetic experience has an important contribution to make in creating connections and relationships. By ‘aesthetic experience’ the chapter refers to an enlivening awareness of sensory perception and imagination leading to deeper reflection. In the image of a dancer the author shows an instance of aesthetic experience bringing together two things often set in opposition to one another; clinical objectivity and compassionate care. The image arises from her experiences of performing dance, leading trauma healing groups, studying the philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard, and observing the ritual of the Catholic Eucharist. She shares how this image of a dancer helped a group of medical students reimagine the compassion and objectivity of clinical care, not as a burden of meeting two impossible and competing demands, but as an invitation to join in the dance.
Intersectional Quantitative Methods
Authors: Much Melina 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter reviews the major advances in accounting for intersectionality empirically and embracing methodological pluralism within Political Science and related Social Sciences. Intersectionality, or approaching identity categories rooted in structural power such as race, gender, and class as inseparable, remains a site of intellectual promise particularly because of its utility for explaining the big questions in American politics. This chapter focuses on intersectional quantitative methods as a site for new innovations as it is the natural step after demonstrating the current literature’s advances of frameworks to operationalize intersectionality. After outlining these advances in approaching identity, the chapter explores how ideas on statistical learning within Political Methodology can help inform both new modeling and statistical paradigm choices for intersectional research. The new avenues posed by multilevel modeling and Bayesian frameworks show a small window into the promise of this emerging field.
The Conceptual Challenge to Measuring Ideology
Authors: Cope Kevin L. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter develops a broad, cross-national, functional definition of judicial ideology, which it uses to synthesize the leading theories of judicial decision-making into two-dimensional space. It then reviews the broad existing approaches to measuring judicial ideology—vote counting, proxy, and third party—and considers the implicit assumptions about the nature of judicial ideology that each makes, as well as their relative strengths and weaknesses in measuring ideology. In doing so, the chapter gives special attention to one barely explored method for measuring ideology: using the opinions of legal experts to derive quantitative estimates of ideology. It argues that using such expert-based evaluations can overcome many of the limitations of existing approaches. Regardless of method used, researchers using existing measures or developing new ones should consider carefully the underlying assumptions behind the measure, and in doing so, make those implicit assumptions explicit.
Middlebrow Compositional Aesthetics in 1970s Pop-Rock
Authors: Braae Nick 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter identifies middlebrow compositional approaches in a selection of 1970s popular songs written and recorded by Queen, Elton John, Billy Joel, Eric Carmen, and ABBA. These traits pertain to melodic construction, a richly tonal harmonic vocabulary, performance gestures derived from the classical tradition, and nonconventional song forms. I argue that this middlebrow esthetic can be discursively and analytically positioned between “pop” and “progressive rock”—it is a middlebrow within the broad idiom of popular song. I further argue that these artists engage similar dynamics of middlebrow to other popular artists associated with this category, but only to a certain extent. They articulate, therefore, a middling engagement with the concept of popular middlebrow.
Land, Industrial Livestock, and Interspecies Relations
Authors: Weis Tony 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Industrial livestock production commands almost one-third of all cultivated land and is the driving force in the surging global production and consumption of animal-based foods. This chapter argues that while the industrialization of livestock has achieved striking increases in productivity, it is nevertheless an inefficient way of organizing land to produce food, and has established new and violent interspecies relations. It considers how domesticated animals have related to land in farming and herding systems throughout agrarian history and examines how industrialization and the pursuit of scale obliterate these relations, disarticulating animals from land, accelerating reproduction, standardizing and immobilizing growing populations within dense enclosures, and re-articulating animals to land through vast flows of grain and oilseed production. It considers the key barriers to scale in livestock production and the ways they are overridden, and then unpacks the un- and undercounted costs and risks associated with these contradictions. Finally, it situates industrial livestock production in relation to the contested notion of sustainable intensification and reflects on the need to confront the unconsciousness that shrouds these systems.
Religion and Literature in Ottoman and Republican Turkey, 1850–1960
Authors: Mignon Laurent 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the changing representation of religion in literary texts in Ottoman and Republican Turkey between the years 1850 and 1960. A focus on the post-Tanzimat period sheds light on a range of developments that would deeply shape republican approaches to the question of the representation of religion in fiction and poetry. From reformist and rationalist takes on Abrahamic religions—including indigenous forms of Islam and Christianity—to more conservative interpretations of their faiths, authors and poets display diversified approaches during a transitional era that would ultimately see Turkey become the first secular republic of the Islamic world. However, the article also shows that some authors went in search of new forms of spiritualities that were outside the realms of Abrahamic religions in an age when increased interest for world affairs saw intellectuals engaging with the religions of East and Southeast Asia. Ultimately the chapter emphasizes the need to recognize the religious diversity that exists within the literary field in late Ottoman Turkey and the early Republic.
Magical Thinking and Political Myths
Authors: Taguieff Pierre-André 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter argues that the tension between rooting and emancipation offers a fruitful way to understand the conflicts of values and norms that arise when addressing the issue of collective identities in modern societies. It addresses two new political myths that offer competing interpretations of contemporary demographic, cultural, and social change: the Great Replacement on one side, the Creolization on the other. The first one is a repulsive and apocalyptic myth, which claims to reveal the double threat of a “change of people” and an erasure of national or civilizational identity. The second is an attractive and redemptive one, which aims to pacify intergroup hostility and promote social regeneration. Because both myths refuse to address the complexities of belonging and the need for both rootedness and emancipation, they produce new forms of magical thinking that offer no genuine long-term democratic solutions. Whether they make an idol out of a national, ethno-racial, or religious identity (Great Replacement), or whether they treat equality in diversity or mixture as a primary objective and as a terminus (Creolization), contemporary ideologists of both views lead us to emptiness, chaos, or dictatorship.
Hosea 7–8 and the Critique of Kings, Politics, and Power
Authors: Hwang Jerry 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Hosea 7–8 contains one of the more potent but overlooked statements of political theology in the Hebrew Bible. While it is common to view “politics” narrowly in terms of government and diplomacy, Hosea and other eighth-century prophets offer a “theopolitics” (to borrow Martin Buber’s term) that traces the holistic connections between religious, political, and economic sins on the international scene with their counterparts on the domestic scene. Particularly in chapters 7–8, the theopolitics of Hosea uses a remarkable combination of metaphor and wordplay to confront toxic leaders and their enablers among the people. Rather than engaging in power politics, Israel must learn to embrace weakness and recognize Yhwh as sovereign over the entire order of creation and empires, against all appearances, even as his own people and land are shrinking. This results in a national identity for Israel that defies the usual categories, making Hos. 7–8 a model of creativity, boldness, and misdirection for resistance literature and protest politics today.
Gender and Sexual Violence in Hosea
Authors: Cobb Kirsi 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
To illustrate Israel’s fickle relationship with her God (1:2), the prophet Hosea is commanded to marry “a promiscuous woman,” who is subjected to various acts of sexual violence before she is enticed back to her husband. These acts have been variously understood as those of a broken-hearted man, a tyrannical abuser, or as metaphoric expressions of the Assyrian invasion of Samaria. For the postexilic literati in Yehud, the story would have functioned as a memorable warning for the community to follow God’s ordinances. As an expression of cultural trauma, Hos. 1–3 represents the horrors of war symbolized in the gruesome treatment of the woman. Although chs. 1–3 blame the woman for her fate, self-blame could be understood as a survival mechanism. Therefore, the sexual violence in Hosea does not offer universal truth but a glimpse into the survival of the community and their God.
Assyria and Its Image in Hosea
Authors: Zelig Aster Shawn 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Hosea 4–14 frequently mentions Assyria. By comparing the rhetoric of these chapters to what we know from Assyrian historical records, we see that these chapters clearly know how Assyrian domination of Israel operated and how Israel responded. Hosea focuses on the economic and social impact of Assyrian domination on the kingdom of Israel. He castigates the Israelite elite who bolster their own position by cooperating with Assyria. He highlights how their extraction of resources from the populace to pay tribute to Assyria weakens the kingdom of Israel rather than strengthening it. He pays special attention to the experience of the Israelite ambassadors who journey to Assyria to remit tribute. This essay engages the historical background and theological message of Hos. 5:11–6:3; 7:1–7; 9:1–3; 12:1–2 (Eng. 11:12–12:1); 14:2–9 (Eng. 14:1–8), and briefly discusses chs. 1–3.
Hosea the “Historical Prophet” of the Eighth Century BCE, Hosea the Remembered Prophet of Yehudite Literati, and the Book of Hosea
Authors: Ben Zvi Ehud , Wilson Ian D. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This essay identifies two general approaches to researching the book of Hosea with a historical focus. The first approach aims to reconstruct the prophet himself, as one of the so-called classical prophets of Israel’s (and Judah’s) monarchic era. The second approach investigates the prophetic figure as he is represented in the book of Hosea, focusing on memories that would be associated with him within the earliest communities that read the prophetic book as such. Thus, the second approach focuses on the prophet as he would be remembered in Persian-era Judah. This essay highlights what is at stake for each approach, and argues that each has enriched the historical study of the book of Hosea in its own way.
Agent-Based Modelling in Innovation Management
Authors: Stummer Christian 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The fact that innovation is a prevalent topic in management science is not surprising, as the long-term survival of a company hinges on its capacity to generate new products or services on a regular basis and successfully introduce them into the market. In the past two decades, agent-based modelling (ABM) has become increasingly popular as a means of research in innovation management. This chapter provides a survey of recent works in this field, and it elaborates on promising features and applications for further research. It also advocates for strengthening the value of ABM to solve real-world problems, which should contribute to a further shift away from the original ‘toy models’ towards a well-established methodology that is able to suitably address the challenges arising from dealing with complex systems (e.g., markets and organizations). ABM in innovation management is moving in this direction; however, more research needs to be conducted.
Online Assemblies and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Ashraf Cameran 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The United Nations has affirmed that the right of peaceful assembly extends to protect conduct online. The exercise of this right, a cornerstone in functioning democracies, allows individuals across the world to pursue common goals and participate fully in their societies. However, the free exercise of this right online is threatened by opaque artificial intelligence (AI) systems which moderate content and determine which opportunities for peaceful assembly are allowed to exist online. While a growing body of scholarship has examined the risks posed by AI to privacy and freedom of expression, little has been written on the right to peaceful assembly. This chapter provides a framework for understanding AI and the potential threat it poses to the right of peaceful assembly online through examining what kind of content is both seen and allowed to exist online. Only by understanding the possible risks of how artificial intelligence might impact the exercise of the right to peacefully assemble can effective remedies be developed to ensure that this important right is exercised freely online.
Legal Threats to the Right to Protest
Authors: Page Elly , Robinson Nick 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In the face of a record number of protests around the world, both authoritarian and democratic governments have increasingly engaged in illiberal legal practices to control demonstrations. Drawing on a range of country examples, this chapter analyzes three of the most common types of legal restrictions on protests: (1) restricting if, where, and when protests occur; (2) criminalizing the activity of non-violent protesters; and (3) targeting the ecosystem that makes protests impactful. It ends by arguing that a more robust interpretation of the right to protest is needed to address this expanding arsenal of legal threats. It claims that a more systematic analysis of legal restrictions on protests, like that presented in this chapter, helps better identify how protest rights are actually being undermined; creates insights for effective protective interventions; and demonstrates how legal threats to the freedom of peaceful assembly continue to evolve with changing social and political contexts, requiring ongoing recalibration in response.
Anonymous as Assembly, Association, and Assemblage
Authors: Beraldo Davide 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the intriguing digital phenomenon of Anonymous, a loosely organized (non-)collective characterized by a complex and ever-shifting identity. Originating on the controversial platform 4chan as a collective name to mark coordinated pranks, Anonymous evolved into a universal brand for activism, with symbols such as the headless suited man and the Guy Fawkes mask, as well as other component of its semiotic identity, being associated to actions and campaigns organized for the most disparate causes. Defying conventional theories of collective action and political contention, Anonymous occupies the ephemeral temporality of contingent assemblies, at the same time maintaining a recognizable semiotic identity, in this enacting the more permanent temporality of stable associations. The chapter tries to resolve this tension by embracing the complementary notions of ‘multiplicity’ and ‘assemblage’, and by arguing that the complexity and paradoxes made visible by Anonymous are implicit defining characteristics of any form of assembly.
The Facts of Transitional Justice
Authors: Combs Nancy Amoury 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The field of transitional justice encompasses a variety of mechanisms that seek to advance an impressive number of ends. These mechanisms differ from one another in significant ways, yet at the core of each is the need for truth. Moreover, because truth is a core goal of every transitional justice mechanism, fact-finding is a core function. But in no realm is fact-finding both more crucial and more challenging than in the realm of transitional justice. Accurate fact-finding is hard to achieve in times of peace and stability. Its accomplishment following cataclysms of war, ethnic strife, or large-scale human rights violations is all the more difficult. This chapter will explore those challenges and detail some of the distortions they have wrought. It begins by explicating various typologies of transitional justice facts because it is only when we categorize and understand the various kinds of facts that transitional justice mechanisms must unearth, consolidate, analyze, and communicate that we see the different functions they serve and the different methods that must be utilized to find them. The chapter then explores a number of the obstacles that transitional justice mechanisms confront in finding accurate facts; it concludes with a discussion of one obstacle that substantially distorts fact-finding across all times, places, and mechanisms: namely, political interference.
