Séjour’s Spectacles
Authors: Duquette Elizabeth 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Victor Séjour was an important Black American dramatist who lived in Paris and wrote in French, both factors that contribute to his comparative neglect by US literary scholars. Séjour wrote many plays, and their recurrent theme is the problem of tyranny. This chapter focuses on two works, Richard III and Les Volontaires de 1812, demonstrating how they develop his argument that monarchy, as represented by the Napoleons, is tyranny’s most effective antidote. Crucial context for understanding Séjour’s dramatic priorities is established through the history of the melodrama and the French dramatic tradition, as well as reference to his early years in New Orleans. Across his dramatic works, Séjour explores how to curb tyranny’s perversions, proposing that dominated persons can prevail only when they unite around communal, rather than individual, interests.
Ecoörganology
Authors: Allen Aaron S. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Ecoörganology builds on a recent trend in critical and new organologies to expand from a limited anthropocentric study of musical instruments in cultures to a more ecocentric focus on such instruments and cultures as inherently connected with broader Earth systems. The author proposes two potential frameworks for ecoörganology: one derived from quantitative scientific approaches (social life cycle analysis), another more humanistic in its conception (sustainability). While distinct, both emphasize the importance of nonhuman resources and are broadly ecological in scope, all the while connecting to social and aesthetic matters. To illustrate the two frameworks, the chapter considers the example of portable music players (PMPs). Rather than provide a detailed case study on PMPs and environmental issues, the chapter’s primary goals are to argue for ecoörganology and to illustrate it with two potential frameworks. The developing trend of ecoörganology represents a scholarly move from primarily anthropocentric approaches toward more ecocentric ones. Ecoörganology is a critical organology: in considering the material basis of human musical cultures, it is literally crucial (as well as analytical). If we ignore the planetary systems that sustain us, we make incomplete and incorrect analyses regarding music cultures and humans.
Relational Capacities, Musical Ecologies
Authors: Von Glahn Denise 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Referencing works by anthropologists Thomas F. Thornton and Julie Cruikshank, and especially Cruikshank’s scholarship on the Tlingit people’s relationships to glaciers, this essay considers the significance of epistemological connections that inhere between the Tlingit people and the geography of their homelands and the ways those understandings can illuminate modern compositions about our environment. The relational capacity of individual sonic elements in a piece of music—pitches, rhythms, and timbres—invites listeners to understand music metaphorically in ecological terms. Auditors experience both the instant expression of an individual sound, its immediate interactions with others as they occur, and, over time, the entire sound environment that accumulates. Sound comes to listeners whole despite its composition of discrete, partitionable parts and listeners’ varying abilities to distinguish and identify them. Listeners make sense of sounds in relation to each other—sounds to sounds, and sounds to listeners. This complex, multivalent relationship operates in Ice Becomes Water, Judith Shatin’s 2017 piece for string orchestra, electronics, and recorded sounds of glaciers that comments upon the accelerated rate of melting polar ice and the environmental changes it registers. Shatin’s work is simultaneously a musicalized ecological system, a lament for unthinking human behaviors, and a call to act.
Recomposing the Sound Commons
Authors: Pedelty Mark 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
A network of environmental scientists, community organizers, and artists advocated for, and achieved, new policies to protect Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW) from the disruptive noise of motors. They did so despite the opposition of a financially and culturally dominant whale-watching industry. That hopeful story is documented here in this case study of musical organizing. Jeff Todd Titon’s “sound commons” (2012) concept provides a theoretical framework for understanding the case, one that provides insights into how we might realize Titon’s goal of extending “sound equity … to all creatures.” The author makes an argument for adopting ecological orientations to soundscape (re)composition; in other words, relational, systemic, and holistic understandings of environmental phenomena, environmental challenges, and policy. In the Anthropocene we must therefore include music, media, and communication in our ecological modeling, rather than treat them as ephemera or merely translative tools. By foregrounding a fictional story in Silent Spring (1962), biologist Rachel Carson made a compelling argument for the ecological role of creative expression, a model that musicians, musical organizers, and applied music scholars would do well to emulate.
Pulling Teeth
Authors: Schonfeld Zach 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter covers Nicolas Cage’s masochistic commitment to Method acting techniques as he starred in two separate films in 1984, Racing with the Moon and Birdy, both of which are war-related period pieces. Interviews with sources such as Racing with the Moon director Richard Benjamin and Birdy star Matthew Modine elucidate Cage’s commitment to remaining in character at all times. Cage sought to emulate prominent Method actors such as Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando. While making Racing with the Moon, Cage bonded with Sean Penn and deliberately cut himself with a knife for the sake of a scene; while making Birdy, he was so determined to remain in character as a wounded Vietnam vet that he wore bandages on his face for twenty-four hours a day. Neither of these films was commercially successful, but both helped establish Cage’s range as a dramatic actor.
The Sunshine Trilogy
Authors: Schonfeld Zach 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Drawing on new interviews with filmmaker Andrew Bergman and actress Bridget Fonda, among others, this chapter examines Nicolas Cage’s flirtations with mainstream comedy in the early nineties, when Cage sought to rebrand himself as a Tom Hanks–like “everyman” actor. In particular, the chapter focuses on three midbudget comedies—Honeymoon in Vegas (1992), Guarding Tess (1994), and It Could Happen to You (1994)—which Cage has sometimes referred to as his “Sunshine Trilogy,” emphasizing their light and upbeat mood in contrast with his usual work. The author argues that in these films (as well as the neo-noir Red Rock West), Cage tried—with limited success—to portray normal, mild-mannered characters adrift in a world of absurdity and chaos. Critics took note of Cage’s shift toward mainstream roles and claimed that Cage “has calmed down.” While this proclamation would prove premature, these moderately successful (if largely neglected) films give a surprising sense of Cage’s range and his career-long restlessness; as an actor, he frequently vacillates between mainstream appeal and abrasive experimentalism.
The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders and Physical Health Comorbidity
Authors: Farchione Todd J. , Spencer-Laitt Daniella M. , Sauer-Zavala Shannon , Barlow David H. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces the Unified Protocol (UP) concerned with the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders. Commonalities between emotional disorders are expressed in high rates of comorbidity, similar rates of treatment response, and shared neurobiological vulnerabilities. The chapter elaborates on how neuroticism significantly contributes to the co-occurrence of mental disorders. Thus, the purpose of UP revolves around helping patients understand and recognize their emotions and respond to them in more effective ways through its eight modules that span approximately 16 sessions. A transdiagnostic, emotion-focused approach is a suitable treatment for targeting the underlying mechanisms driving co-occurring conditions that involve emotional dysregulation.
A Unified, Transdiagnostic Approach to Pain Management
Authors: Eilenberg Jenna Sandler , Otis John D. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chronic pain is influenced by the interaction of biological and psychological processes. In addition, emotional disorders are highly prevalent in chronic pain patients and are thought to share common neurobiological pathways with pain. The Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) may have the potential to address these shared vulnerabilities and produce long-lasting change. This chapter outlines the evidence for adapting the UP to treat patients with chronic pain and comorbid emotional disorders. Although no studies to date have empirically tested the use of the UP for chronic pain, accumulating research evidence provides support for the UP’s individual treatment components. The chapter also describe a case study demonstrating how to deliver the UP with a chronic pain patient. Limitations of the UP for chronic pain and recommended adaptations are described.
The Chinese State-Driven Regulatory Model
Authors: Bradford Anu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2 examines the Chinese state-driven regulatory model. It shows how the Chinese government leverages technology to fuel the country’s economic growth and development. In the name of social stability, the government also uses technology as a tool for political control, surveillance, and propaganda, entrenching digital authoritarianism deeply into the Chinese society. These two factors—economic development and social stability—are central to the survival of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The chapter engages with criticism of the Chinese regulatory approach, detailing how the state-driven model infringes individual rights and deprives Chinese citizens of key civil liberties. At the same time, it acknowledges that technological breakthroughs can also emerge under a state-driven regulatory model, suggesting that freedom may not be necessary for a dynamic culture of innovation. However, the future of the Chinese tech industry is uncertain. As with the US, the Chinese regulatory model is undergoing a drastic shift as the Chinese government is abandoning its traditionally lax approach toward tech regulation, and forcefully leveraging its powers to crack down on the tech industry in the name of common prosperity while facing little resistance from the industry. This unfolding change further reinforces the core tenet of the state-driven regulatory model by ensuring that the Chinese government, not tech companies, reigns supreme over the digital economy in China.
The Waning Global Influence of American Techno-Libertarianism
Authors: Bradford Anu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chapter 7 examines how the US has exported its market-driven ideals primarily through the penetrating influence of its leading tech companies, which have shaped digital economies across the world through their business practices. Private tech companies have thus been key in not just defending the American market-driven ideals at home, but also in universalizing them through the often unmitigated influence they exercise over the digital lives of internet users abroad. The US government has further paved the way for its companies’ global influence by actively promoting its internet freedom agenda as a key element of its foreign policy, urging governments around the world to commit to the economic and political freedoms that underlie the US regulatory model. However, the US model is now becoming a victim of its early success. The outsized influence of the US tech companies and their harmful practices are creating a backlash across jurisdictions. This growing resentment is further contributing to the decline of the US regulatory model and, with that, the dwindling of the influence of the values associated with the most powerful digital empire.
Introduction
Authors: Li Chenyang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This introductory chapter introduces the multifaceted approach of this book to constructing progressive Confucianism. First, it takes Confucianism as a living and evolving tradition that is rooted not only in Kongzi (Confucius) and Mengzi (Mencius) but also a large corpus of works in its long history. Second, the book aims to engage in both philosophical reconstruction and historical reconstruction in methodology, for different purposes. Historical reconstruction enables us to see what have been said by ancient thinkers; philosophical reconstruction opens new grounds for progressive Confucianism. Third, the book adopts a principle of progressive humanity and attempts to bring ancient thinkers into modern conversations on philosophical questions important to us in the twenty-first century. Fourth and finally, it takes a comparative approach and advance Confucian philosophy in the context of world philosophy.
Differentiated Gender Equilibrium
Authors: Li Chenyang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The traditional Confucian conception of spousal relationship includes three components. First, there should be differentiation between husband and wife. Second, the appropriate kind of differentiation is for the husband to manage the external affairs of the family and for the wife to handle the internal affairs. Third, the husband is to take the leading role in the family. Progressive Confucians can preserve the idea of differentiation and complementarity for the sake of family harmony, while rejecting the outdated division of labor along the internal–external lines and the idea that the husband is superior to wife. Today, the division of labor between husband and wife must adequately express our new values and properly reflect new social realities. When appropriately reconstructed, Confucian yin-yang philosophy provides a good conceptual tool for family harmony on the basis of differentiation, without the traditional stereotyped view that disadvantages women. Equality between the sexes can be achieved without giving up on gender differences and without jeopardizing family harmony.
Friendship
Authors: Li Chenyang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter presents the Confucian philosophy of friendship and puts it in dialogue with contemporary Western philosophy. The Confucian conception of friendship has two important features. First, friendship is virtue-based and virtues are particularized in persons. Second, friends are regarded as family. On the particularized virtue account, even though virtues are general traits, when they are instantiated in individual persons, they are particularized. Possessing virtues does not make friends lose individuality. On the family account, friendship as a general category is analogous to family relationships, even though each individual friend, like each individual family member, can still be special in his or her own way. Jointly, the Confucian conception of particularized virtues and friends as family provides an adequate ground against friendship fungibility.
Kingliness without Kings
Authors: Li Chenyang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter reflects on the history of the Confucian political ideal of “outer kingliness” in practice, analyzes its fatal flaws in the traditional approach, and then draws on various Confucian ideas to make a case for pursuing democratic activism as an effective means to achieve Confucian sociopolitical ideals in contemporary society. Accordingly, in a democratic era, progressive Confucians must discard the ideal of “sagely politics” and its accompanying ideas; “outer kingliness” must be realized by active participation in democratic political processes. Thus, the political goal for progressive Confucianism today should be “kingliness without kings,” or “politics without (depending on) political leaders.”
Collaborations
Authors: Gleason Christopher M. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3 argues that the sexual revolution did not die in the 1980s, but instead rudimentary versions of polyamory emerged in reaction to the conservative shift in American culture that coincided with the Reagan administration. It traces the independent efforts of two women: Ryam Nearing in Oregon and Deborah Anapol in the Bay Area. It argues that both women created small organizations that united networks of ethical non-monogamists on the West Coast throughout the 1980s. Nearing relied on the Keristan notion of polyfidelity, believing that lifelong group marriages provided the benefits of monogamy and promiscuity with the pitfalls of neither. Anapol also appealed to commitment and religion, basing her sexual ethics in New Age spirituality. In the late 1980s, the two began working together. The chapter closes by reintroducing the Zells as they emerged to take part in the new coalition of polyamorists.
Queens of Noise
Authors: Dickin Jacqueline 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This essay examines two memoirs published by fellow members of the 1970s all-female teenage American rock band the Runaways, lead singer Cherie Currie’s 2010 memoir Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway and guitarist “Queen of Heavy Metal” Lita Ford’s 2015 memoir Living Like a Runaway. Read comparatively, this chapter demonstrate how these memoirs rewrite the masculine “sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll” tradition, not as rock star glamour, but as survival. Currie is represented as a victim, while Ford appears in control of her choices, which suggests the “rock chick” identity enables survival by being both oppressive and empowering. As Currie and Ford explore their working-class origins, their literal and figurative life as “runaways,” and their post-fame breakdowns, they disrupt the rock star fantasy and write themselves into its history by using memoir to reassert control over their identities.
Humanizing Icon
Authors: Naito Satoko 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The singer, model, and actor Grace Beverly Jones (b. 1948) has been celebrated throughout her decades-long career for her dynamic performances. But it is her still images, overwhelmingly inflected by white male artists like designer Jean-Paul Goude, which have remained most widely recognizable. This chapter examines Jones’s 2015 autobiography I’ll Never Write My Memoirs to discern the ways in which it resists the persistent notion that the iconic Grace Jones is the creation of others. Countering the narrative as outlined in Goude’s own early autobiography Jungle Fever (1981), Jones reveals the collaborative ontology of her image and celebrity while maintaining crucial ownership of her identity. Jones repeats a simple yet significant demand to be recognized as human, a recognition she extends to others in an effective discursive strategy that promotes a shared humanity.
The Isolated Presidency
Authors: Cash Jordan T. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
How powerful is the President of the United States? It is a question that students, scholars, and statesmen of American politics have grappled with since before the Constitution was even ratified. For many scholars, it is a question that can only be answered by considering factors outside the office itself, such as the president’s popularity, political talents, or institutional relationships. In The Isolated Presidency, Jordan T. Cash challenges this prevailing view and recenters the debate over presidential power on the document that serves as the foundation for every presidency: the Constitution itself. To gain a clear view of how the Constitution creates a baseline of authority that is available to all presidents, Cash examines the “isolated presidents”: presidents who were unelected, faced divided government, and were opposed by major factions of their own political parties. Stripped of all external supports, these presidents were left with nothing but their constitutional authority to rely on. Yet despite their disadvantageous circumstances, these presidents were able to achieve major policy successes solely through the use of their constitutional powers. Through the examples of the isolated presidents, Cash illustrates how the Constitution creates an empowering logic within the presidency that orients presidential behavior and grants every president significant power and agency. Moreover, as American politics remains polarized and divided, the isolated presidents provide lessons and examples of what constitutionally derived actions a president can take when confronted with the recurring issues of divided government and political gridlock.
The Constitutional Logic of the Presidency
Authors: Cash Jordan T. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter lays out the presidency’s constitutional logic. Beginning with a discussion of how the regime created by the Constitution requires a strong executive, it then moves to note the different attributes that emerge from the presidency’s structure: energy, responsibility, secrecy, continuity, a national perspective, and a longer temporal horizon. The rest of the chapter uses the framework of five presidential roles—chief executive, chief legislator, chief diplomat, commander in chief, and chief constitutionalist—to describe how these attributes fit with the presidency’s constitutional duties and powers, providing the means to achieve the functional ends set by the Constitution. The chapter also points out how this logic interacts with the other branches as well as those areas where the logic may have tensions or be ambiguous.
Andrew Johnson: The Impeached President
Authors: Cash Jordan T. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Andrew Johnson served as president from 1865 to 1869, following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and he faced perhaps the worst institutional situation of any president. A Southern Democrat who had alienated himself from the Democrats in both the North and South by running with Lincoln in 1864, Johnson came to office facing an administration and Congress dominated by Northern Republicans. As a result, Johnson was in a constant fight with Congress, having over half of his vetoes overridden and becoming the first president to be impeached. Despite this, Johnson was able to utilize his presidential authority quite effectively. Before delving into Johnson’s administration, this chapter evaluates Lincoln’s presidency and relations with Congress and the parties as well as Johnson’s stated views on executive power prior to taking over as president. From there, it assesses Johnson’s presidency, beginning with his actions during Reconstruction and then moving to foreign policy before ending with a general overview of his administration.
Introduction
Authors: Thomason Krista K. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces the main metaphor for the book: the worms in the garden. The garden is a metaphor for your life. In the typical version of the metaphor, your bad feelings are the weeds. They need to be pulled up before they choke out the nice plants. In the revised version of the metaphor, bad feelings are the worms. They’re just below the surface, and if you dig around even a little bit, you’ll see them. Many of us would rather just admire the flowers and forget the worms are there, but the worms are as much a part of the garden as the flowers and their presence means the garden is thriving. This chapter introduces the methodology for the book. It looks to the history of philosophy to see what philosophers have argued about emotions and then uses those insights to think about how to live well with our bad feelings.
