An Artist Unpacks the Archives
Authors: Maclennan Ruth 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter tells the story of my encounters as an artist with archives and the ideas and artworks they inspired. It begins inside the archives of the London School of Economics, where I made The Gatekeepers, a film about the archivists and other works exploring institutional archives and performance in the workplace. The chapter discusses films that draw on archival images to speak to contemporary concerns around corporate workplaces and genetics. It then moves on to experiments with archives as containers for circulating ideas, and as documents of live events. Leaving institutions behind, it shifts focus to landscapes as living archives, repositories of occluded lives in the Scottish Highlands, the Kazakh steppes, Crimea, and the Russian Arctic. The chapter concludes with reflections on the climate emergency and the uses of archives for ecological thinking.
America’s Scrapbook
Authors: Hughes-Watkins Lae'l 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In the last several years, the United States and the global community has witnessed a reckoning, one that has called upon all of us to step into our truths and ask what it means to be a fully recognized human being and genuinely integrated into the American story, specifically the descendants of the African Diaspora. This selection uses the lens of the author’s personal experiences and the role traditional archives have played in dehumanizing descendants of slaves, indigenous communities, Latinx, and other marginalized populations and their various intersections of existence. The author uses James Baldwin and Langston Hughes’s words as the preface to discussing the centuries-long effort for these communities to find their place in America’s Scrapbook. She suggests that the reckoning taking place in our spaces of memory assist in moving the United States and the global community closer to providing that full citizenship that for far too long has been denied.
Of Bonfires, Mindsets, and Policies
Authors: Ashie-Nikoi Edwina , Adjei Emmanuel , Adams Musah 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The notion that archives are neutral places with no vested interests has been undermined by current philosophical and theoretical handlings of the concept of the ‘Archive’; it is now undeniable that archives are spaces of power, with the power to include and exclude, to distort, omit, and silence voices (Carter, 2006: 216). Inevitably, ‘not every story is told’. In the African context, this concern is pressing, considering the varied and sometimes ephemeral ways in which ‘texts’—written, visual, oral, ritual, performative—are documented. However, beyond the concern for the gaps created by the omission or ignoring of these non-conventional archives in African archival work, there yet remains within the conventional practice of archival management on the African continent, a simmering mix of factors that create silences. This chapter examines this multi-causal matrix of silence from the Ghanaian perspective.
Word Classes in Radical Construction Grammar
Authors: Croft William 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Word classes are taken to be essentialist categories; they serve as the building blocks for syntactic constructions, and are language universals (that is, cross-linguistically valid). But a word class is language-specific. This is because a word class is defined distributionally, by the occurrence of the words in a particular construction in a particular language. Hence it is not a building block for syntactic constructions. Moreover, a word class is not an essentialist category. A word class is a population: a spatiotemporally bounded set of historical entities—in this case, the occurrences of the words in question in language use in the language, interconnected by lineages of replication. Hence a word class cannot serve as a comparative concept for language universals. Instead, meaning and certain non-distributional properties of form can be used to compare word classes/populations defined by different constructions within and across languages, and reveal universals of grammar.
The Pronunciation of English in Ireland
Authors: Hickey Raymond 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
With the first documents from the late Middle Ages, a specifically Irish form of English is clearly visible. Features of this variety reappeared in the satirical literary texts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, documenting a range of features, such as an incomplete Great Vowel Shift, which had become typical of Irish English. The dawn of the modern era in the late nineteenth century shows a split in varieties, on the one hand vernacular forms and on the other more supraregional ones which were influenced by British pronunciation norms. With independence for the south of Ireland in 1922 a reorientation towards endonormative models took place leading to supraregional Irish English of the late twentieth century. Further changes, emanating from Dublin in the 1990s and into the 2000s, continued the ever-changing nature of non-local varieties of Irish English which are increasingly under the influence of forms of English from outside, chiefly from North America.
Introduction to Thomas More’s Utopia
Authors: Withington Phil , Shrank Cathy 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Thomas More’s Utopia is one of the most iconic, translated, and influential texts of the European Renaissance, attracting enormous amounts of critical attention since its first publication in Latin in 1516. The first half of this editors’ Introduction places Utopia in the context of More’s life and the world in which he lived. It also outlines the extensive critical and historiographical traditions associated with Utopia and utopianism. The second half then explains how the Handbook brings together for the first time three different ways of thinking about More’s text: in terms of its Renaissance contexts, its vernacular translations, and its utopian legacies. It introduces the individual chapters of the Handbook, showing how they make for a uniquely integrated approach to the genesis, vernacularization, and afterlives of Utopia, and draws out recurring and prominent themes. An Appendix provides a useful potted overview of Utopia for readers new to More’s book.
Ad fontes et ad futurum
Authors: Nicholas Lucy 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines Utopia’s Latin journey, from the earliest Louvain and Basel editions through to those published in epochs that followed, and right up to the twentieth century. A total of thirty-one in total were produced across Europe, from the Low Countries and Germany to France and England. By returning to the Latin, the reader is not only better placed to appreciate the original spirit of the work and its symbolic currency, but also to understand the men and women who continued to publish and read Utopia in Latin. The chapter considers the extent to which the earliest incarnations were primarily the products of a particular phase of humanist learning and embodied a distinctly Erasmian (and Greek-inflected) approach. At the same time, the particular motivations and contexts that impelled the production of new editions of Latin Utopias stand in relation to the concerns of their own time and place.
Utopia and Gilbert Burnet in 1684
Authors: Withington Phil 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Gilbert Burnet translated Utopia in 1684 explicitly to update the Ralph Robinson editions into ‘modern’ English. His text became the standard English version for the English-speaking world during the eighteenth century (Thomas Jefferson owned a copy), but Burnet undertook the translation at a moment of political crisis and personal danger. This chapter places Burnet and his translation in political context, exploring why a savvy political operator and prolific writer should have regarded Utopia an appropriate and timely investment of his considerable energy and skills. It also considers some of the broader changes in early modern culture and society revealed by the translation, focusing on one of Burnet’s linguistic modernizations in particular: the introduction of ‘slave’ into Utopia’s English transcript. The chapter argues that Burnet’s scholarly and political agendas were inseparable and that the result was a ‘Renaissance’ text rewritten to speak to an early ‘Enlightenment’ audience.
Thomas Rousseau, Translator of an Enlightened Utopia
Authors: Astbury Katherine 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century French translations of Thomas More’s Utopia have received recent scholarly attention, as have the considerable number of imitations, borrowings and utopian projects of the eighteenth century in France, but until now very little attention has been paid to the work of Thomas Rousseau (1750–1800), who produced a translation of Utopia in 1780 and republished it with a new title and introduction in December 1789, just five months after the fall of the Bastille and the start of the French Revolution at a time when many felt that the regeneration of the nation was close to being complete. This chapter will explore how Rousseau adapted More’s text to suit better his intended readers in Enlightenment France and how it influenced his other literary and political activities in the years leading up to and during the French Revolution.
Utopia in East Central Europe
Authors: Czigányik Zsolt 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The chapter discusses the reception of Thomas More’s work in Hungary from the sixteenth century until the 1990s, by analysing its influence and offering an overview of Hungarian utopian literature. The relationship between More and the region is also touched upon, a relationship that culminated in A Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation, whose frame narrative takes place in Hungary. Both Utopia and its author’s personality exerted significant influence in Central Europe, particularly during the religious debates in the early modern period. Protestants pointed out the religious tolerance in Utopia, while Catholics often refer to the perseverance of its author. The first Hungarian translation of Utopia appeared as late as 1910, followed by three others. The comparative analyses of these translations reveal the dual reception pattern of More’s book in Hungary either as an imaginative piece of Renaissance entertainment or as a treatise in social philosophy.
A Catalan in Search of Humanists
Authors: Johnson P. Louise 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Josep Pin i Soler is scarcely known in Catalonia for his extraordinary Biblioteca d’Humanistes series of translations into Catalan of Erasmus, More, Vives, Richard de Bury, Agustí i Albanell, and Machiavelli, published in the first quarter of the twentieth century. As a critic of Pompeu Fabra’s attempts to modernize the Catalan language, Pin incurred the wrath of those who later sought to align him with Spanish nationalism, and his immense service to Catalan language, culture, and scholarship has been insufficiently recognized. Pin’s 1912 Utopia was the first printed translation on the Iberian peninsula to include Book One, and the first new translation to appear since the Castilian version by Medinilla y Porres (1637; reprinted 1790 and 1805). It evidences a sympathy towards More not extended to Erasmus, as well as an Anglophilia informed by Pin’s experience of European politics outside Spain. The work’s contemporary reception was overwhelmingly positive, even if More seems not to have been universally understood.
The Historical Fallacy
Authors: Moir Cat 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the interpretative politics of Utopia in the aftermath of the First World War in Weimar Germany. It focuses on its treatment by historians trained in the Rankean tradition, whose engagement with More combined the methodological demands of their historicism with the need to speak to contemporary political affairs and navigate the ideological currents of conservatism, social democracy, and National Socialism. The chapter shows how the failure to accommodate the literary and ironic dimensions of More’s text led to particular—rivalrous—perspectives on Germany’s and Britain’s role in the world. It also reminds us that the German historian and political theorist Hermann Oncken suggested that More wrote Book Two in the Low Countries before writing Book One while in royal service many decades before J. H. Hexter launched the same argument.
Japanese Translations of More’s Utopia
Authors: Sako Teruhito 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
From the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, the Japanese have been translating Western books extensively and systematically, with More’s Utopia treated as one of the most prominent works in Western literature. This chapter outlines the chronology of the ten modern Japanese translations and interpretations of More’s Utopia and introduces the contexts of each text. The first (1882) and second (1883) versions were understood by the Japanese pro-government elites as a practical guide for formulating the Japanese modern state. The third (1894) and fourth (1914) were used by the social reformers as a way to critique the government and establishment. The fifth (1929a), sixth (1929b), and seventh (1934) functioned as the last stand for freedom of thought in Japanese society as a whole. The eighth (1957b), ninth (1969), and tenth (1993) were treated more academically and historically, and when analysed alongside Erasmus’ Praise of Folly, were understood as the key to medieval and early modern culture.
The Multiple Lives of Utopia in Modern China
Authors: Ma Tehyun 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter charts the life of More’s Utopia in China from the late nineteenth century to the present by situating three translations in distinct political and cultural contexts. Around 1900, as disenchanted Late Qing intellectuals reconceptualized time as progressive rather than cyclical, the term ‘utopia’ entered the Chinese lexicon, capturing a new ‘future-oriented’ understanding of history among a cohort that rejected Confucian fatalism. By 1935, with anti-colonial nationalists now striving to shape China’s destiny, a fuller translation of More reflected enduring interest in European history and thought, and hinted at the ruling party’s preoccupation with a regimented, mobilized society. After the Chinese Communist Party came to power in 1949, a new edition of Utopia appeared, this time influenced by the Sino-Soviet alliance and the push for agricultural collectivization that presaged the Great Leap Forward. At each of these moments Utopia proved useful to intellectuals and politicians seeking to dictate China’s future.
Hythloday’s Books
Authors: Suthren Carla 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The books brought by Hythloday to Utopia cover the range of materials recommended in early sixteenth-century educational manuals: the Utopians are to receive an exemplary humanist education, in spite of the remoteness of their island home. England was regularly characterized as a remote intellectual backwater, but Aldus Manutius’ innovative Greek type allowed English humanists to participate in a trans-European academic conversation by standardizing Greek texts and greatly increasing their availability. Thus the humanist Republic of Letters was fed by the Greek letters of Aldus’ type as well as the exchange of epistolary communications across Europe. This chapter positions More’s work—as it positions itself—within the framework of these broader European conversations and the humanist project exemplified by the Aldine academy and press. But the smooth transmission of Greek knowledge to Utopia is disrupted by a book-destroying monkey, raising questions about the place of Utopia in the Republic of Letters.
Mapping Utopia
Authors: Hiatt Alfred 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In More’s Utopia the influence of theoretical geography of the early sixteenth century met New World exploration narrative, with the result that the excitement of encounter with non-European societies was given a philosophical and scientific veneer. This playful setting of Utopia, in addition to the careful description More gives of its topography, would seem to invite maps of the island. Yet the sixteenth-century cartographic response to Utopia was rather muted: apart from the crude woodcuts which appeared with the first editions, only Abraham Ortelius attempted a detailed representation of the island. It is arguably only the late twentieth and early twenty-first century that has seen a concerted effort to respond to More’s ideas through maps—and this not by cartographers, but by artists. The chapter begins with a discussion of More’s own textual mapping of Utopia. It examines in detail Ortelius’ map of Utopia (an appendix transcribes and translates its toponyms, and adds new information about their sources), before surveying Utopic maps from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. The chapter concludes with a consideration of three contemporary artistic ‘maps of Utopia’: Satomi Matoba’s ‘Topographic Map of Utopia’ (1998); Qiu Zhijie’s ‘Map of Utopia’ (2012), and Stephen Walter’s ‘Nova Utopia’ (2013).
Contemporary Utopianism
Authors: Williams Rhys 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter concerns itself with the contemporary return to islands in utopian thought, but with the twist that the islands are not empty containers any more, but busy sites of transformation; no longer peripheral, but central as an origin for a developing future. Further, they are legion. No single island provides the blueprint for a better future. Each ‘better’ is situational, deeply entangled in the place and the people that comprise it. Going beyond real islands, the chapter explores how the form and concept of the archipelago manifests itself in the act of curating as a key symptomatic logic of our time, extending far beyond the practices of the art world, drawing together elements to form a dialogue that opens up alternative futures.
Nec minus salutaris quam festivus
Authors: Zurcher Andrew 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
More’s Epigrammata, published with Utopia from the third, Froben edition of 1518, functions almost as a paratextual frame for the more famous work. This chapter reads the conspicuously Greek emphasis of the epigrams—their performance of argutia (‘brilliance’) and festivitas (‘wittiness’)—as an important influence on More’s construction of the relations between intimate and common, familiaris and alienum in his dialogue. In both works, More’s style treads a light, ironic step between the embarrassments of the disgusting body and the dignity of the incorruptible soul, seeming to privilege the former over the latter; but the operation of litotes and proverb across Utopia suggests, instead, an enduring compassion for material frailty, and a gentle though insistent critique of the humanist emphasis on communitas.
The Urban Context for Utopia
Authors: Hartrich Eliza 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
It has long been recognized that in Book Two of Utopia Thomas More followed the classical tradition of using the city as a metaphor for the ideal civil society, and that he drew, as well, from the communitarian rhetoric of London’s civic government (where he served as undersheriff). More, however, repudiated these traditions as much as he was influenced by them. Utopia stood at odds with both classical and sixteenth-century ideas of citizenship by emphasizing that harmonious social relations within a city were not sufficient for ensuring the common good. Just as essential were strict measures for economic and demographic equality between the different cities that constitute a polity. In describing mechanisms for ensuring equality between Utopia’s fifty-four cities, More may well have been satirizing the fractious relationships between English towns in 1450–1516, when population increases and growing rural industry disrupted existing hierarchies within the English urban system.
Utopia Unbound
Authors: Taylor Andrew W. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter traces the publication of the early Latin editions of Utopia—Louvain (1516), Paris (1517), Basel (1518 twice), and Florence (1519)—exploring the various and shifting influences that informed the rhetorical and material representation of More’s work. It considers the nature of authorial control as Utopia passed through many hands, whether those of editors and typesetters in the print shops or those of readers whose letters anticipated and then discussed Utopia as part of the correspondents’ self-presentation and participation in Erasmian circles. The mutating prefatory materials of Utopia are seen as overlapping with the epistolary rhetoric propagated by Erasmus’ and Budé’s printed collections, publications enlarging the paratextual interplay between ‘fact’ and ‘fiction’; likewise, in Froben’s hands, and through the design of his title pages, Utopia was framed with a range of Erasmian works. The chapter turns finally to the attenuated Florentine edition to consider its breaking from these patterns of collaborative aggregation.
How Imagination Informs
Authors: Myers Joshua 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
An influential objection to the epistemic power of the imagination holds that it is uninformative. You cannot get more out of the imagination than you put into it, and therefore learning from the imagination is impossible. This paper argues, against this view, that the imagination is robustly informative. Moreover, it defends a novel account of how the imagination informs, according to which the imagination is informative in virtue of its analog representational format. The core idea is that analog representations represent relations ‘for free’, and this explains how the imagination can contain more information than is put into it. This account makes important contributions to both philosophy of mind, by showing how the imagination can generate new content that is not represented by a subject's antecedent mental states, and epistemology, by showing how the imagination can generate new justification that is not conferred by a subject's antecedent evidence.
Lymphadenopathy in the rheumatology practice: a pragmatic approach
Authors: Rodolfi Stefano , Della-Torre Emanuel , Bongiovanni Lucia , Mehta Puja , Fajgenbaum David C , Selmi Carlo 
Published: December 2023

AbstractLymphadenopathy is a common clinical finding and diagnostic challenge within general medicine and rheumatology practice. It may represent a primary manifestation of an underlying immune-mediated disease or indicate an infectious or neoplastic complication requiring differing management. Evaluating lymphadenopathy is of particular relevance in rheumatology, given that lymph node enlargement is a common finding within the clinical spectrum of several well-known rheumatologic disorders including RA, SLE and SS. In addition, lymphadenopathy represents a hallmark manifestation of rare immunological diseases such as Castleman disease and IgG4-related disease that must be considered in the differential diagnosis because effective targeted treatments can now impact the prognosis of these conditions. In this review we present an overview of the clinical significance of lymphadenopathy in common and rare rheumatologic diseases and propose a practical approach to lymphadenopathy in the rheumatology practice. Differential diagnosis of Castleman disease and therapeutic options for this condition of increasing rheumatologic interest will be discussed in detail.
