Autism and Family-Centered Approaches in and through Music
Authors: Thompson Grace , Lisboa Tania , Ockelford Adam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Music practitioners with various qualifications, including music therapists and music educators, acknowledge that musical experiences offer a form of expression, interaction, and understanding that do not rely on words. Musical interactions and engagement may therefore offer a valuable context that can support diverse forms of communication and connection in early childhood that are advantageous for child development. The potential benefits of music participation for children on the autism spectrum are illustrated through descriptions of two distinct approaches: the Sounds of Intent framework, which aims to identify and promote music engagement and musical development over time; and family-centered music therapy, which aims to foster the child’s development and strengthen parent-child relationships. The dual perspectives presented in this chapter highlight possible benefits both in music and also through music for other areas of development, such as social communication, language, and cognition.
Future Perspectives
Authors: Welch Graham F. , Barrett Margaret S. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The concluding chapter of the handbook reflects on the contents of each of its contributory sections and the themes that emerge across chapters. Key themes embrace the potential for young children to develop both in and through music, outlining the ways our underlying multi-sited neurological processing of embodied musical sound is shaped and developed by social and cultural contexts. Authors also provide critical international perspectives of what counts as music and children’s musicality—noting that these are in a symbiotic relationship to the theoretical position adopted by the researcher(s), with each perspective offering distinctive insights into the phenomena. We also note how inherent biases in the existing research literature offer opportunities for future, deeper inter- and intra-disciplinary insights, including greater acknowledgment and understandings of the music practices in the majority world.
Christianity, Law, and the Bible
Authors: Strawn Brent A. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter covers three important issues relating to Christianity, law, and the Bible. The first is where law appears in the Bible. While the classic locus of law is the Pentateuch, legal discourse exists beyond the first five books of the Bible. The extent of law across the Bible leads to the second issue, which is how the Bible as a whole has often been received as (a kind of) law in religious circles. The oddity of a generically complex collection like the Bible being perceived as if it were only one genre, and law at that, raises the third and final issue—namely, what kind of law is found in the Bible, and what kind of law is the Bible when it is understood or construed as law? Similarities between legal hermeneutics and the kinds of activity that mark the pursuit of wisdom in ancient Israel suggest intriguing connections between law and wise living. These connections, in turn, indicate that wisdom may be the best descriptor for biblical law and for the Bible understood as law. If so, the corpus of biblical law, and the Bible understood as law, is a way of life and a matter of the heart.
Catholic Reform, Law, and the School of Salamanca
Authors: Lantigua David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the legal contours of the School of Salamanca, a Catholic theological reform movement in early modern Spain spanning nearly a century (1520s to c. 1600), whose diffusion spread among universities and thinkers across Iberia, Western Europe, and the globe. From Francisco de Vitoria to Francisco Suárez, a common intellectual synthesis of late Scholastic theology and law developed from the University of Salamanca inspired by the medieval thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas. After locating this Catholic reform movement in context, the chapter focuses on the Spanish Scholastic contribution to law according to two enduring contours: first, the rational and obligatory character of law, including positive law; and second, the importance of self-preservation and the legal concepts of dominium and subjective rights associated with it. These contours signaled a Scholastic confluence of Renaissance humanism and the ius commune tradition, admitting both a shared repository of Christian thinking about justice and law beginning with Vitoria, and variability among the juristic-minded theologians inhabiting the influential orbit of the Salamanca School.
Christianity and Law in North America Today
Authors: Chapman Nathan S. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The current relationship between law and Christianity in the United States, Mexico, and Canada is shaped by historical disputes about the proper relationship between church and state and contemporary religious and political demography. This chapter asks how the current law of each nation treats Christianity (typically as one expression of religion) and how Christianity affects the law (typically through the engagement of Christians in the ordinary political process). All three nations have formally abandoned an establishment of Christianity in favor of a liberal form of neutrality between church and state, and all three have grown increasingly religiously pluralist, but the contours of neutrality are different in each nation. In the United States, neutrality tends toward religious accommodation and government partnerships with legally independent religious institutions to provide social goods. A variety of forms of Christianity continue to influence the policy goals of both major parties; Christianity has both shaped and been shaped by partisan polarization and culture wars over family, race, and education. In Mexico, liberalism has long meant government control of the Catholic Church. Though the numbers of evangelical Protestants are growing, most Mexicans remain Catholic. The government remains committed to being secular yet exercising tight control over ecclesiastical property, press, and political rights. Canada has a long history of close church-state collaboration—the Catholic Church with Quebec and Protestant churches with the other provinces—but in recent decades the Canadian society and government have both grown increasingly secular.
Christianity and Roman Law
Authors: Doerfler Maria 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Christians’ relationship with the laws of the Roman Empire evolved considerably throughout the opening centuries of the Common Era. From a religious minority who sought to carve out space for itself within the empire’s laws, Christians increasingly attracted the attention of Roman government officials and, from the third century onward, its lawmakers. With the rise of Constantine and subsequent Christian emperors, Christians moved further toward the center of the empire’s legislative and judicial activities, with bishops, for example, formally assuming the role of arbiters vis-à-vis their communities and claiming legal privileges for themselves and other Christian elites. Roman law in turn came to shape the Christian theological imagination as well, contributing both to Christians’ views of the Last Judgment and to definitions of orthodoxy and heresy. The fifth-century Theodosian Code bears witness both to the innovations precipitated by the ascendancy of Christianity—including Christians’ relationships with other religious communities—and to the continuities with earlier phases of Roman law and policy. This chapter traces these developments with particular attention to three discursive threads: that of Christian writings as witnesses to Roman law, that of Christian leaders as deeply engaged with the production and execution of Roman law, and that of the relationship of Roman law with the laws of nature and scripture.
Christianity and Law in the Middle East Today
Authors: Engelcke Dörthe 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In most Middle Eastern jurisdictions, the applicable family law is determined based on the religious and confessional affiliation of the parties involved. Inheritance law is also sometimes split along religious lines, whereas in other cases Christians apply the national Islamic inheritance law. A distinction can be made between countries in which Christian communities enjoy only normative autonomy—that is, they can largely determine the norms of their family laws—and countries in which they can additionally also establish their own courts. The way in which Christian legal autonomy was institutionalized in combination with discriminatory state and community-based family laws has meant that Christians do not enjoy full citizenship rights in many Middle Eastern countries. Discrimination within family law and state law affects Christian women especially hard. Since the early 2000s, some Christian communities have issued their own inheritance laws that formally assign equal shares to men and women of the same degree of kinship—i.e., sisters and brothers, for example. The question remains to what extent this formal equality between men and women translates into real, lived equality in inheritance matters.
Protestant Church Laws
Authors: Doe Norman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There are profound similarities between the laws of Protestant churches across the world. These similarities have enabled Protestants to contribute imaginatively to the work of the ecumenical panel that issued its Statement of Principles of Christian Law in 2016. These principles reflect in large measure the laws of churches in the various Protestant traditions in a multiplicity of legal instruments—from constitutions to books of church order. It is possible to postulate the category of Protestant church laws as they apply to so many aspects of Protestant ecclesial life—from the rights and duties of members and church governance, through doctrine, worship, and rites of passage, to property and church-state relations. In all this, what is remarkable is the unifying potential of law within Protestantism.
Popular Music
Authors: Young Shawn David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Popular musical styles have been criticized for centuries. Rock ’n’ roll, jazz, the blues, ragtime, even classical music have all come under scrutiny. While the needle of pop culture continues to move, there remains a growing fear from both the right and the left. Both sides of the aisle have acknowledged the immense power of popular music: for conservatives it is a tool for evangelism, and for liberals it can be a voice for social change. Nothing has raised the ire of fundamentalists quite like hot-button topics such as modernism, Darwinism, equal rights, or biblical inerrancy. Except for, perhaps, rock ’n’ roll.
Sport
Authors: Putz Paul Emory 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses the ways fundamentalists and their evangelical heirs have engaged with sport since the turn of the twentieth century. It highlights the ways that this engagement has always been shaped by cultural ideas and developments related to race and gender. It also shows that fundamentalists have never disengaged from sport, but that they have expressed a persistent ambivalence with the culture of competitive athletics due to their efforts to maintain a distinctive Christian identity. This tension helped to motivate and inspire the development of a nebulous worldwide movement that capitalized on the platform of sport to share the message of born-again salvation. Originally American in orientation, this movement has since taken root in countries across the globe.
Abortion
Authors: Lewis Andrew R. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Analyses of the anti-abortion movement in the United States have largely focused on the important role of Catholics, evangelical Protestants, and the Republican Party. Less attention has been paid to the influence of fundamentalists. Prominent fundamentalists actively opposed abortion prior to the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, and fundamentalists often linked opposition to abortion to broader cultural concerns about sexual morality and the family. This chapter documents fundamentalism’s approach to abortion in the twentieth century, and then draws connections to contemporary anti-abortion politics within the Republican Party. The chapter argues that both the content and style of fundamentalist approaches to opposing abortion shaped the New Christian Right’s political activity, and the fundamentalist legacy continues to influence the current abortion politics, especially the populist elements of the Christian Right.
Business
Authors: Grem Darren E. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The history of fundamentalism is inexplicable without business. Recent ventures like Hillsong, a megachurch and multinational ‘brandscape’ based in Australia, reveals long-standing intersections between business and fundamentalism: a fundamentalist–business nexus. Seeking standardization of theological ‘truths’ and broader social influence, early fundamentalists sought the money, marketing prowess, and organizational know-how of business interests. Early innovators like evangelist D. L. Moody laid the groundwork for later business-minded and business-backed fundamentalist superstars like Billy Graham. Behind-the-scenes agents like Herbert J. Taylor and the Christian Business Men’s Committee International (CBMCI) informed fundamentalist start-ups, from seminaries to parachurch ministries to missionary groups. In the private sector, business leaders rebranded fundamentalism as merely ‘Christian’ and sponsored a wide array of small and large-scale businesses marketing ‘Christian’ consumer goods and experiences. From multilevel marketing to the Christian music industry to party politics, business sustained and proliferated fundamentalism well into the present age of global, mass consumerism.
The Southern Baptist Convention
Authors: Smith Andrew Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) was predisposed towards fundamentalist influence in the twentieth century. During the first wave of fundamentalist controversy during the early 1920s, Southern Baptists took note of developments among Northern Protestants. Relying on the idea that the South was insulated from modernist ideas, leaders encouraged Southern Baptists to support the contentions of the fundamentalists, not by giving credence to rumours of heterodoxy in Southern Baptist institutions, but by redoubling their commitment to their own denomination and its systems of funding. Mid-century developments introduced Northern-style fundamentalism to the South, and some segments of Southern Baptist life began to reflect that influence. By 1979, a group of leaders had framed a plan that would deliver control of the SBC into more conservative hands. Using the idea of biblical inerrancy as a rallying cry, they gave that idea shape by linking it to opposition to women’s ordination and to feminism more generally. These leaders captured control of the SBC, though were rather less successful in negotiating their denomination’s place in a changing region and nation.
Space Syntax and Pedestrian Modeling
Authors: Wu Mu-Chun 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Comprised mainly of axial, convex, and visibility graph analysis, space syntax is a spatial network approach toward the understanding of the social-spatial paradigm. It investigates the connectivity among spatial units and analyses their relations with each other as well as the entire spatial layout through the concept of accessibility. However, underlying this concept of accessibility is the scrutiny of pedestrian movement and its social-cultural implications. This chapter highlights this link between accessibility and pedestrian movement and further showcases how space syntax and Ingold’s (2011) theory of “wayfaring” could be a marriage made in heaven.
Food Webs
Authors: Crabtree Stefani A. , Dunne Jennifer A. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the past ten years the ability to leverage modern computational approaches with the increasing quantity of digitized archaeological data has enabled the analysis of archaeologically informed ecological networks. Food webs are a type of ecological network that represent the trophic interactions, or consumption links, within ecological communities. Because the vast collections of zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical data often pertains to human trophic interactions, these well-curated traces of the past can aid in compiling and modeling detailed ecological networks of the past that center on humans. Combining this data with other sources such as mosaics, frescos, writings, or inferences enables a richer understanding of the place of humans in ecological networks across space and time.
Perspectives on Human Behavioral Evolution from the Study of Primate Networks
Authors: Romano Valéria , Lozano Sergi 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter proposes archaeological approaches to human behavioral evolution by combining insights from primate networks’ studies and human behavioral ecology. To this end, we first outline the application of social network analysis in primatology, specifically focusing on the effect of the social structure on key ecological and evolutionary outcomes. Then we introduce possible applications of this knowledge to the study of human behavioral evolution, focusing on modularity as an example of relevant structural metric. By showing how fine-scale analysis of primate networks sheds light on important ecological and evolutionary mechanisms, we underscore the possibilities of assessing the social structure in past human societies by means of cross-disciplinary approaches.
Settlement Scaling Analysis as Social Network Analysis
Authors: Ortman Scott G. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Recent work demonstrates the power and potential of network analysis in archaeology. In this chapter, I show that settlement scaling analysis can also be construed as a form of social network analysis. I first illustrate the role of network thinking in settlement scaling theory (SST), a framework that provides a general account of agglomeration effects. I then discuss three advantages of the SST approach relative to popular applications of social network analysis in archaeology: (1) it eases the empirical burdens of empirical network analysis; (2) it leads to specific expectations regarding what the aggregate properties of social networks should be; and (3) it provides a mechanism for the emergence of new properties in human societies. Finally, I suggest a means of integrating scaling analysis with regional archaeological network analysis.
Networks and Sociopolitical Organization
Authors: Holland-Lulewicz Jacob 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Archaeological network analysis provides a set of robust methodological tools to describe and evaluate sociopolitical histories. Network analyses allow archaeologists to move from the bottom up, to critically engage with traditional models of sociopolitical organization commonly deployed in archaeological interpretation. The use of network analyses rooted in large-scale, robust datasets allows for the identification of organizational characteristics that may be masked or unaccounted for by a reliance on essentialized sociopolitical types derived from the ethnological record. This chapter outlines the methodological principles and conceptual frameworks made available through the use of archaeological network analysis in characterizing and evaluating the underlying organizational structures that connect members of a society to one another. Instead of focusing on sociopolitical types, a framework is presented that places the primacy of investigations on particular patterns of relationships between social and political actors and entities.
Archaeological Network Science
Authors: Brandes Ulrik 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The majority of contributions in this handbook are written from the perspective of researchers using network approaches while working in archaeology. As a self-described network data scientist with a background in computer science and by now having a decade of exposure to archaeological research, I am pleased to offer a view from the other side of the arena. While archaeology is but one domain in which the application of network concepts is becoming ever more common, challenges that arise are particularly rich and at times rather special. Following a cursory outline of a data-centric approach to network science, this chapter highlights what might be considered distinctive of archaeological network science.
Network Epistemologies in Archaeology
Authors: Knappett Carl , Mol Angus 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this chapter we argue that network approaches can bridge the divergent epistemologies through which relations are addressed in the discipline of archaeology. We identify three poles of divergence: explanation (Erklären) vs. understanding (Verstehen); formalism vs. relationalism; and big (fast) vs. small (slow) data. Each of these can be linked with perspectives in archaeology that can be loosely understood as processual and post-processual respectively. We suggest that network approaches, although associated by some scholars with the former set of “values” (i.e. explanation, formalism, big/fast data, and processualism) can effectively occupy a more intermediate epistemological ground. The potential for this bridging role is being demonstrated in a series of recent studies that engage with both more formal network ideas and more relational ones drawn from sources such as entanglement or assemblage theory. Notwithstanding the considerable epistemological divide that is still apparent in divergent archaeological perspectives on relations, we conclude that network thinking in our discipline has started to do some significant bridge-building to narrow the gap.
Anticipating the Next Wave of Archaeological Network Research
Authors: Munson Jessica , Mills Barbara J. , Brughmans Tom , Peeples Matthew A. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As indicated by the diversity of chapters in this volume, network methods are now established techniques for investigating a wide range of past relational phenomena. While this work is encouraging and much has been learned, there are domains of archaeological inquiry where network approaches have not been as widely adopted. We conclude this Handbook of Archaeological Network Research by considering some possible future directions of investigation, and what this research has to offer beyond archaeology. In particular, we outline four areas where archaeological network research could play an important role: (1) archaeological landscapes and socioecological systems; (2) cultural and biological evolution; (3) historical archaeology; and (4) archaeological praxis. As we anticipate the next wave of archaeological network research, we argue for continued interdisciplinary collaboration and methodological innovation to realize the full potential of network science for archaeology.
(Un)settling Late Colonial Niassa, Mozambique (1966–1974)
Authors: Castelo Cláudia 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to present a case study of a particular instance of colonial fieldwork to explain why and how social knowledge was first produced and then not applied in the forced resettlement conducted in the Niassa district, in Mozambique’s far north-west, bordering Malawi and Tanzania, during the Portuguese counter-insurgency campaign against the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO). The chapter will explore the Portuguese civil and military authorities’ development discourse and practice as it concerned the inhabitants of the Niassa region. Of particular interest is the work of a female geographer, Raquel Soeiro de Brito (b. 1925), who was a professor at the Advanced Institute of Social Sciences and Overseas Policy (Lisbon Technical University) and researcher at the Mission for the Study of Portuguese Overseas Physical and Human Geography (Portuguese Overseas Research Board). Soeiro de Brito carried out fieldwork in the Niassa plateau and lakeshore before and during the war, her studies focused on the Yao and the Nianja people.
