From expert to patient
Authors: Spencer T. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter collects seven personal accounts of those who suffered a brain tumour. Article 1 is by a rheumatology professor who observed changes in speech and writing due to a left parietal glioma. Article 2 features a clinical neuropsychologist’s journey following multiple treatment for a right parietal glioma. Article 3 recounts a social work student’s battle with a right temporal ependymoma at the age of 15 years. Article 4 offers insights from a general practitioner who had a benign fourth ventricle subependymoma. Article 5 details a medical student’s confrontation with a golf ball-sized meningioma adjacent to her brainstem. Article 6 describes an oncology physician’s symptoms leading to an ependymoma diagnosis, involving the fourth ventricle and brainstem. Article 7 presents a cardiologist’s narrative on living with a left frontal astrocytoma, and the accompanying uncertainty and perpetual fear of recurrence.
Presence, Power, and Performing Political Representation; Or, What Happens in the Square
Authors: Saward Michael 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter explores a new and distinctive site of representative politics and its performance: the Square. The Square is a device for thinking about power and politics when the represented and representatives are physically co-present, such as in a city square or council chambers. The chapter brings ideas of participation and representation together. It argues that Hanna Pitkin’s inclusion of literal absence in her widely accepted definition of representation is misleading. Physical co-presence, virtual or remote co-presence, or an absence of co-presence are not central to the very meaning of representation. Evoking a sense of presence (Pitkin’s ‘in some sense’) through performing representative claims can and will occur in all these contexts, including the face-to-face. The chapter examines key dimensions of power and disempowerment in the Square, and how physical co-presence highlights performance—positioning of self, others, and material objects in space, the privileging of voice and movement, and so on. The analysis throws into relief key issues of where and when claims to representation are, or can be, performed, and contributes to our efforts to understand how context matters greatly to the dynamics of political representation.
Performing Democratic Listening
Authors: Celis Karen , Childs Sarah 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Against its documented failings to provide good representation for all, those who wish to hold on to, and above all realize representative democracy’s promise should look to redesign and rebuild its political institutions. To this end, greater attention should be given to the hitherto neglected role of democratic listening. Our recent remaking of the case for women’s group representation in politics, Feminist Democratic Representation (FDR), imagines representation as it should be. In foregrounding voice and the reception of new voices through a new set of representatives (of women) and twin institutional augmentations, FDR addresses key concerns of the emergent democracy and listening literature regarding equality, inclusion, and responsiveness. Even so, listening is undertheorized relative to voice, and that is why we turn to imagining democratic listening as it should be, exploring its principles, practice, and performance.
Political Representatives and the Issue of the Eminent Image
Authors: Daloz Jean-Pascal 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Political elites generally attach great importance to the manifestation of their eminent position. In democratic settings, however, the issue of the symbolic superiority of political actors is framed in somewhat different terms. Even though they often have to stand out and above—producing performances to that end—they also need to remain close enough to the citizens they claim to speak for. Whereas manifestations of elitist distinction are frequently underscored by journalistic anecdote and subject to denunciation in numerous essays, the theme has been underinvestigated by mainstream political scientists. In this chapter, after having offered some theoretical reflections, variables such as ostentation vs modesty, aloofness vs approachability of representatives are considered from a comparative perspective. Then contrasting illustrations of how political actors deal with prestige goods (both personal and official), embodied signs of superiority, and vicarious display are provided. Consequences in terms of image are discussed, with rather different scenarios being discernible.
The Sound of Political Representation
Authors: John Street 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
How do music and musicians make claims to represent peoples and causes? Examples of this abound, from stars who campaign on behalf of causes to politicians who use music to carry their message. This phenomenon has received less attention than it might seem to warrant. Using Shirin Rai’s framework for analysing political performances, this chapter explores the different ways in which musical performance is used to claim representation. It argues that Rai’s valuable framework can be expanded to include the particular sonic and gestural features of musical performances. Further, it proposes that music’s and musicians’ claim to political representation should be understood as part of a post-democratic order in which politics-as-spectacle is necessarily conducted in sounds as well as images.
Performing Representation on a Pedestal
Authors: Machin Amanda 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Statues populate public spheres around the world, and although they often recede into the background of everyday life, it would be a mistake to assume that they hold no significance in contemporary societies. Placed on a pedestal, a statue is a highly political artefact that reflects and reproduces dominant imaginaries and is expected to represent the people in whose midst it stands. With reference to the Edward Colston statue in Bristol, this chapter interrogates the representative claims of statues, as well as the performances of commemoration and iconoclasm around them that strengthen, contest, or (re)make those claims. It concludes that if we want our societies to be more radically democratic then we have to allow for the continued debate over statues and the periodic disruption of public space through political performances.
Political Representation and the Performance of Ecological Restoration
Authors: Tănăsescu Mihnea 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In our current age of ecological upheaval, the representation of non-human entities and forces is often done through rapidly evolving non-electoral forms. This chapter explores representative claims fashioned through the performative practice of ecological restoration. It argues that this practice allows a rethinking of the performance of political representation beyond the classic presence/absence paradigm or the familiar human/nature divide. Using the case of the restoration of the Bronx River, New York, it shows how ritualized practices create new hybrid political subjects, defined and enlivened through the reiterative performance of restoration. Through these emergent rituals, new representative claims become inseparable from the creation of subjects with the authority to speak in a new way, together with the non-humans they encounter. The chapter draws out some of the implications of this analysis for the wider theorizing of performing political representation.

Authors: Hegarty Andrew 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter highlights a review of Les registres-matricules de la nation germanique de l’ancienne Université d’Orléans, 1602–1689. Students at the University of Orléans were early on grouped into ten Nations; a mid-sixteenth-century reformatio imposed by arrêt of the Parlement of Paris reduced the Nations to only four: France, Picardy, Normandy, and Germany. By the early seventeenth century, the German Nation stood out for numbers as well as the organisation of its offer. The monarchs had distinguished and privileged the German Nation above all others by safeguarding members’ free movement and permitting use of arms — all in the Nation thereby benefitting in practice from treatment as nobles. Most interestingly, the physical heart of the German Nation from mid/late-sixteenth century onwards was its important library, which more than matched, at least for legal studies, what many European colleges elsewhere could provide for their students. Ultimately, the book is a magnificent reference work that presents records of the German Nation of Orléans.
The Shame of Addiction
Authors: Flanagan Owen 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter addresses two main questions about the ethics of addiction: 1. What moral attitudes should addicts have toward themselves? Does it make sense for addicts to experience shame and guilt, to feel responsible for their addiction and what they do because they are addicts? 2. What moral attitudes should we have toward addicts? Do addicts deserve disappointment, disdain, anger, and resentment? The chapter criticizes glib views that say that addiction is a disease therefore moral categories do not apply, and argue that addicts themselves typically think they are responsible, and do so for good reason. It is explained how shame can be motivating for addicts and can help reveal that the addict sees their situation correctly. The chapter describes and defends a set of humane ethical attitudes we can have toward addicts, and that involve holding addicts to account, and treating them with compassion.
Hope and Addiction
Authors: Flanagan Owen 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The chapter assesses current theorizing about addiction, major debates in the field of addiction science, as well as various harm-reduction and treatment programs. Each of the three major theories of what addiction is—the self-medication model, the social dislocation model, and the brain disease model—have weaknesses. Each in its own way harms rather than helps motivate a holistic, integrated theory of addiction and sensible ethical and public policy. The chapter concludes with reasons for hope that integrated thinking about addiction will reduce addiction and substance misuse and help addicts and substance misusers heal.
Marshallese Articulations of Protest
Authors: Schwartz Jessica A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter considers how Indigenous sound artists and musicians in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) harness matrilineal customary and political connections to perform articulations of different, yet interconnected modalities of protest aimed at ongoing neocolonial violence that perpetuates nuclear injustice from the US nuclear testing program and climate change consequences, which have impacted those who already struggle with securing adequate health care, displacement, and disenfranchisement. Layering the scaled depths of generational violence, Marshallese sound-centered protests exemplify how such complex articulations are woven of the poetic and material histories that have been kept from the broader public due to the US culture of secrecy in the name of national security. Marshallese protest articulations (music, sound, and listening) thus engender sensible spaces wherein others can “[intervene] in the political” (Rancière 2004, 3) and create an aesthetic terrain that does not represent but rather is the dynamic topography of political contestation.
Climates of Dissent
Authors: Tausig Benjamin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter describes a long-term pedagogical encounter—the author’s own study of a popular, three-stringed Isan Thai instrument called the phin—that examines the intersecting concepts of sonic environmentality and sonic dissent. Through common terms such as “soundscapes” and “protest music,” respectively, these terms have frequently been treated in scholarship as universal analytics. This chapter investigates instead how they might be treated with greater historical specificity. But terms presume a horizontal compatibility between radically different kinds of public spheres. Dissidents in different political contexts conceptualize music and sound in radically different ways. By thinking through sonic environmentality and sonic dissent together, the author argues for the provincialization of both, especially within sound studies and ethnomusicology.
Parsing Protest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: A Mixtape
Authors: Rivers Chérie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The texture of musical protest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of friction and improvisation. The combination of rich musical traditions with a brutal history of corruption and exploitation has cultivated in Congolese citizens the social reflex to voice dissent through song and mobilize sociopolitical action through music. And yet, despite the frequent deployment of these musical reflexes, the nation does not have an established arsenal of protest songs as such—there is no signature anthem, no cohesive repertoire, nor much transgenerational transmission of resistance refrains. Instead, pervasive political turbulence catalyzes a perpetually modulating call and response between politics and song. Against ever-changing social, political, and economic conditions, this chapter traces multivalent examples of musical dissent and empowerment in Congo from the colonial and independence eras to the rise of hip-hop in the 2010s.
What Is This Thing Called Protest Music?
Authors: Drott Eric 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter reconsiders what the term “protest music” signifies, taking as its point of departure an ephemeral performance that occurred during the 2016 protests against the loi El Khomri in France. After examining some of the ontological commitments embedded in received notions of protest music, the chapter proposes an alternative understanding of the practice, premised on the reciprocal mediation of the two terms that comprise this compound term, “protest” and “music.” The chapter then considers the role of genre (in the case of music) and tactical repertoires (in the case of protest) in shaping practices of sonic resistance and how their interaction may reshape what counts as music, what counts as protest, and what counts as musical protest. The final section reflects how tactics of sonic protest may be evolving and asks what responsibility music scholars have in tracking such changes.
Constitutional Privacy in Israeli Law
Authors: Birnhack Michael 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The right to privacy is explicitly enumerated in the Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty, yet it is phrased in broad terms, leaving it to the government and the courts to determine its meaning and scope. Like other rights, privacy is subject to the limitation clause, which permits some governmental intrusions under some conditions. This chapter offers a critical review of Israeli constitutional privacy jurisprudence. The author discusses its emergence and observes that courts conceptualize privacy as a subset of human dignity and tend towards “privacy as control” as its organizing theory. The chapter offers two critiques: that courts should better articulate the harm to privacy before turning to balancing, otherwise the balancing exercise is partial and hence may skew the outcome in unfortunate ways; and that the overall judicial balancing framework enables hidden value-based judgements.
The Occupation in the Israeli Constitution
Authors: Kretzmer David 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The accepted view of constitutional lawyers in Israel has been that in describing Israel’s constitutional order the state’s rule over the occupied West Bank is irrelevant. This view rests on the notion that under international law the West Bank is subject to a regime of belligerent occupation, which is by its very nature a temporary military regime under which the occupying power does not have sovereignty over the territory. That the “temporary” occupation has continued since the territory was occupied in the 1967 War, that the government acts as if it were a sovereign power in the territory, and that 400,000 Israeli nationals now live in West Bank settlements are not regarded as relevant. In this chapter the author analyses the legal, constitutional, and political factors that lead to the ineluctable conclusion that in describing Israel’s constitutional order its rule over the West Bank must be included. The implications of this conclusion vis a vis the definition of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state are discussed in the final section.
How Vocatives Illuminate Slurs
Authors: Jeshion Robin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In contemporary research on slurs, vocatives are largely ignored. This chapter argues that the interaction between slurs and vocatives offers surprising, novel data that calls out for explanation. In vocatives, slurs and their neutral counterparts diverge; that is, slurs occur freely as vocatives, while neutral counterparts do not. The chapter details the data distinguishing slur and neutral counterpart availability within vocatives and explicate why this data is important for a full account of slurs. Finally, it argues that an expressivist semantics of slurs offers a compelling explanation for this divergence between slurs and their neutral counterparts within vocatives.
Subjectivity
Authors: Willer Malte 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The question of how, if at all, we can make sense of subjective judgments and content from a broadly truth-conditional perspective on natural language meaning has occupied a prominent place in the literature on philosophy of language and linguistics over the past twenty years. This is a (subjective) guide to the most important issues and results in the field. The chapter begins by discussing two prominent tests for a judgment being subjective or having subjective content: (a) its capacity to figure in faultless disagreements and (b) its capacity to be felicitously ascribable using subjective attitude verbs It then discusses the two major proposals for analyzing the distinct perspectival dependence that subjective judgments seem to exhibit: (a) a type-theoretical approach and (b) a family of analyses that model perspectival dependence as a special kind of contingency.
Foundations of Semantics
Authors: Davis Wayne A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Leading theories on metaphysical foundations hold that meanings are grounded in a relation between the expressions of a language and objects they refer to or express. They differ in what related objects, and what relation to those objects, they specify. It is generally accepted that the relationship concerns how expressions are used by speakers of the language. Conventions turn what speakers mean and express into what words and sentences mean and express. We review problems with theories that focus on reference and truth and argue for a theory based on the expression of structured cognitive propositions, identified with thoughts. The fact that thoughts have parts is key to compositionality as well as word meaning.
Dryden and Congreve (and Milton and Jonson)
Authors: Lockwood Tom 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter considers the chiasmic careers of John Dryden and William Congreve, tracing patterns of influence and imitation between the two writers before and after their close collaboration in the 1690s. Exploring the relationships that Dryden models with the writing of Ben Jonson and John Milton, it proposes that the collaborative bond between Dryden and Congreve is fashioned through their shared understanding of earlier literary relationships. This chapter plays close attention to Dryden’s refashioning of his own Mac Flecknoe (1676) in his prefatory poem to Congreve’s play, The Double-Dealer (1694). It also explores the philosophical perspectives on collaboration and competition in Congreve’s play, The Way of the World (1695), considering the generational contrast between Hobbes and Locke, both writers known to Congreve. In the mutual understanding and companionship of Dryden and Congreve, the chapter establishes a model of collaboration that contrasts sharply with the competition so expertly staged in Congreve’s drama.
The Theatre of Politics and the Politics of Theatre
Authors: Taylor David Francis 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Restoration sees an imbrication of stagecraft and statecraft that is uncommonly intense and culturally defining. This chapter begins with an overview of the myriad ways this nexus of theatre and politics might be explored. Moving beyond the more familiar discussions of how the period’s drama grappled with the nature of political authority and subjecthood—how the playhouse served as a site where party ideology and rhetoric were fostered, tested, and deployed—it attends instead to how the Restoration stage perceives and articulates its relationship with the state. By examining some of the period’s prologues and epilogues, William Davenant’s theory of spectacle, and examples of metatheatre, this chapter seeks to trace Restoration theatre’s own understanding of its political operations.
Women, Prayer, and Prophecy
Authors: Prakas Tessie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter examines the forms of female prophecy that flourished in England before and after the Restoration. Prophetic expression has typically been associated with mid-seventeenth-century sectarianism, but the vexed question of religious toleration after 1660 also created new impetus for religious dissent and indeed for prophecy. While some nonconformists retreated into quietism, others—including several women—framed the challenges they faced as a source of prophetic authority. Routinely characterized as weak, insubstantial, and impressionable, women could claim that these qualities made them natural vessels for divine word. I explore how Anna Trapnel and Anne Wentworth—writing before and after the Restoration respectively—both narrate disruptions to their domestic relationships to underscore their comparative intimacy with God. A more ambivalent account of prophecy appears in Anne Bradstreet’s 1642 ‘Dialogue’; I propose that the revised version of 1678 orients the poem toward a Restoration context precisely by foregrounding the original text’s prophetic potential.
Restoration Life-Writing and the Arts of Assembly
Authors: Bennett Kate 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Restoration biography did not stay on the page. After 1660, readers wanted the biographical book to substitute for personal experience: they wanted to see faces and hear voices, stroll through private houses, and talk with those in the know. Based on gossip, rumour, and personal experience, newly based on archival research and the collection of unpublished papers, and swelled and supported with portraiture, prints, and contemporary documents, the Restoration life stimulated conversation. It moved far away from the expectation that the genre existed to present exemplary models. Even while discussing the Eikon Basilike, the ‘portrait’ of Charles I as a saint, his chaplain Anthony Walker defined ‘irregularity’ as a sign of authenticity. After the civil wars and the Interregnum, edifying steadfastness to moral prescriptions gave way to expedience and resourcefulness in the face of danger. From Charles’s sheltering in the oak at Boscobel, to William Harvey’s dodging a missile at Edgehill, what counted in the Restoration was tales of survival and resourcefulness. Anne, Lady Halkett, and Anne, Lady Fanshawe, described their witty shifts to survive in the chaos of the civil war. John Aubrey left a ‘booke of Secrets and reflections concerning so many great persons still alive’. Increasingly, what mattered was to portray the times through the experience of those who lived through them. Such adherence to modernity was also challenged by nostalgic or comic portraits of eccentrics whose way of life had been swept away for ever by the war.
