Trauma and Morality (1945–2015)
Authors: Goltermann Svenja 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter deals with the expansion of victim attributions in the last third of the 20th century. It starts with a focus on victimology–the scientific study of victims, which emerged in different international contexts during the 1950s–to analyze shifting perceptions of crime victimhood during the second half of the 20th century. The chapter shows how victims were initially often blamed for the crimes committed against them and were reluctant to be classified as such, a situation that changed for various reasons in the 1970s. Social movements played a crucial role, as did initiatives at the international level, culminating in a United Nations resolution defining the concept of “victim” so as to strengthen victims' rights in cases of both interpersonal and state crimes. However, new trauma concepts were even more significant in expanding attributions of victimhood, especially the official recognition of the "post-traumatic stress disorder” diagnosis in 1980 and its subsequent redefinitions. This diagnosis provided an entirely new basis for adopting the status of innocent victim. The revaluation of subjective experience was also critical. Finally, it is argued that implementing new conceptions of trauma raised new expectations for talking about the experience of violence and suffering. This has ambivalent effects: It engenders specific narratives about experiences of this kind, while making others disappear. This is similarly true of the figure of the victim. As the book shows in relation to South Africa, these processes can also be observed outside Europe.
Conclusion

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The conclusion summarizes the main findings of the book. It emphasises that the rise of the figure of the victim is a recent phenomenon that has only gradually developed over the last 150 years. It first encompassed the dead, followed much later by the living. The book conceptualizes this history as that of a shift in perceptions based on a series of paradigm shifts, the effects of which were - and are - ambivalent. This becomes apparent, for example, when victim attributions are used by different actors for different purposes - to punish war as a crime, but also to legitimize counter-violence or revenge. The chapter concludes by showing that conceptualizations of victimhood, in terms of both legal and social norms, are an ongoing process. This process becomes apparent, for example, in critiques of victim attribution and dismissive attitudes vis-à-vis victims. As the conclusion demonstrates, one of the reasons for this is the growing influence of the idea of “resilience” in popular discourse on stress.
The Relationship between Text and Liturgical Assignments in the Vespertini
Authors: Carrillo Raquel Rojo 
Published: December 2023

AbstractTHE VESPERTINUS GENRE, like other Hispanic rite genres, has chants prescribed for just one liturgical day, and chants prescribed for two or more liturgical days. The prescription of these chants, however, was not random, but instead resulted from a deliberate process of chant assignment. As shown in this chapter, detailed analysis of the relationship between the text of each vespertinus and its liturgical assignment(s) yields data that demonstrates the extent to which these assignments were deliberate. To visualize the vespertinus repertoire for each series of offices and the number of assignments of each chant within each series, it was necessary to organize the vespertini following their liturgical assignment(s). This way of displaying the repertoire also enables a clear appreciation of how each series of Hispanic rite offices is distinct in its total number and selection of vespertini and in its proportion of unique vespertini.
The Digital Middle East
Authors: Zayani Mohamed , Khalil Joe F. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe digital turn in the Middle East is an ongoing process, filled with multiple vectors and various configurations that shape the region’s usage of digital technology. It is a complex transition, laced with both possibilities and challenges, and with its own unique history. Understanding the Middle East’s engagement with the digital requires analyzing the interplay between technological infrastructure and sociocultural norms, as well as economic and political systems. This chapter argues that the ensuing double bind is the defining characteristic of the digital turn in the Middle East. The region’s encounter with the digital can best be understood as an ongoing process that manifests itself as a multilayered transition interlinked with technological dimensions but riven with conflicts and contradictions.
Technologies of Center and Periphery
Authors: Zayani Mohamed , Khalil Joe F. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis chapter explores what performance indices and data-centered classifications tell us about the digital Middle East. It offers a qualified perspective on the region’s digital status relative to other countries around the world. It also reflects on the questions these quantitative indicators, which typically use the network society as the benchmark, leave unanswered and highlights the digital turn’s lasting social, economic, and political implications. The chapter concludes with an analysis of how national digital strategies have yielded uneven approaches to digital transformation planning in the Middle East, which is reflected in the disparate levels of infrastructure, governance, and funding.
The Enticement of Digital Citizenship
Authors: Zayani Mohamed , Khalil Joe F. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe widespread use of digital tools has favored the emergence of various online communities, from chat room participants to bloggers and from YouTubers to Facebook groups. Digital spaces enhance the ability of marginalized populations, oppositional groups, and diasporic communities, among others, to associate and advance their visions. The potential and viability of these spaces depend on people’s ability to afford, access, and use digital tools pitted against the state’s appropriation of these same tools for surveillance, censorship, and criminalization of unsanctioned forms of participation. Focusing on everyday articulations of citizenship in the Middle East, this chapter examines how ostracized communities deploy digital tools to create sites of contention and reorder public debate, thereby continuing a long-standing tradition of communication technologies opening up spaces for political and civic engagement.
Collective Voices and Digital Contention
Authors: Zayani Mohamed , Khalil Joe F. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAnimated by micro-political participation, the acquisition of digital citizenship overlaps with the rise of collective voices and forms of political empowerment. In an environment characterized by formal and informal controls, the appropriation and reappropriation by publics of information technologies, including social media, involves multidirectional, multilayered negotiation. This process is influenced by individuals’ ability to overcome constraints such as cost, availability, and access and their motivation to engage and mobilize collectively using digital applications given the limits on free speech. These considerations are crucial when exploring how the digital turn has come to bear on collective action and political agency in the Middle East.
Cultural and Creative Industries
Authors: Zayani Mohamed , Khalil Joe F. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractDigital cultural and creative industries have become integral to the way the knowledge-based economy operates. These sectors bring together culture, leisure, and entertainment in formats that have never been experienced before, from online games to streaming services and digital publishing to virtual museums. With today’s technology, consumers can access media on various platforms for different uses. This chapter examines digital cultural industries in the Middle East associated with the production, storage, distribution, and exhibition of cultural goods and services. It pays particular attention to the interlocking histories, strategies, and transformations of digital cultural industries. It argues that while economic, political, and cultural clout among traditional media industries may be waning, digital media’s reconfiguration and underlying political economy are still crystallizing.
The Demographics of a Connected Culture
Authors: Zayani Mohamed , Khalil Joe F. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis chapter explores what digital affordances reveal about opportunities and challenges for the Middle East’s various communities and cultures. While children, youth, and women constitute distinctly significant segments of the population, their interests are poorly served, and their voices are inadequately represented in the development, organization, and management of Arab societies. Decisions about the acquisition, adoption, and use of technologies primarily remain the purview of a predominantly older male demographic whose choices and priorities determine policy. When media content and digital communication are believed to unsettle the status quo, states intervene, invoking the need to safeguard the social order. This approach is motivated by cultural preservation but also stems from long-standing views about the role and status of children, youth, and women in society. While such logics continue to shape how these demographic categories are perceived and treated in Middle Eastern societies, the digital turn has also given rise to media uses and communication practices that challenge established sociocultural norms.
Introduction
Authors: Payne Leah 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Contemporary Christian Music was the soundtrack of white evangelical conversions, worship, adolescence, marriage, child-rearing, and activism in the late twentieth century. Once an almost billion-dollar recording industry with culture-shaping power, however, the genre was in steep decline in the early aughts. This book analyzes Contemporary Christian Music as an industry born from early twentieth-century Southern white revivalist hymn-singing networks, stoked by 1960s and 1970s baby-boomer converts on the West Coast, and fueled in the late twentieth century by a vast network of evangelical media makers and marketers, booksellers, denominations, congregations, parachurch organizations, educational institutions, lobbying organizations, and advocacy groups. The following pages trace how CCM produced music that served as a sonic shorthand for white evangelical orthodoxy and social action, prized for its capacity to disseminate evangelical messages about what it means to be Christian and American.
“The Magic Power of Song”
Authors: Payne Leah 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 1 explores the roots of Contemporary Christian Music in the business of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century revivalist songbook publishing. Prior to the late nineteenth century, most music publishing came out of Philadelphia and New York, but advancements in print technology gave middle-class white revivalists of the early twentieth century like John T. and Eva Green Benson access to the print-publishing business. Holiness people like the Bensons, James D. Vaughn, and others created publishing houses that brought the music of white Southern Baptist, Holiness people, and Pentecostals, filled with end-times fervor and revivalist hopes for the nation, far beyond the American South. When sound recordings and radio came along, and as conservative white Protestants began to create trade and lobbying organizations under the umbrella term “evangelical,” the songs of Southern Holiness, Baptist, and Pentecostal revivals became treasured resources for encouraging conversion to the evangelical gospel.
“Hearts in Motion”
Authors: Payne Leah 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 explores how Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) professionalized and expanded, fueled by the buying power, and social concerns, of the baby-boomer generation. Self-taught evangelical “media experts” of the 1980s told white evangelical parents and teens that popular music was a key battlefield in a cosmic war for the souls of the young and the future of the United States. If mainstream music could be used by the devil to destroy American young adults, however, perhaps CCM could save them. As the market niche of CCM coalesced and grew between 1979 and 1991, the top of the CCM charts were filled with figures who fulfilled these parental wishes. While mass-media magnates mobilized conservative white Protestants to lobby for conservative public policy as part of the “Reagan revolution,” top-selling CCM created imaginative moral and spiritual visions that energized and shaped those efforts.
Introducing Double Binds of State Institutions and Linguistic Recognition
Authors: Limerick Nicholas 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
How do bilingual education coordinators experience double binds? The challenges and opportunities of directing the school system go beyond domination or regulation, which are more researched forms of power, and are seen and heard in the communicative norms of institutional communication, including how languages are spoken and written. This chapter develops the theory for double binds with the words of a bilingual education director, as well as with theory from linguistic anthropology and an anthropology of politics. State recognition and employment prioritize some Kichwa speakers over others, so this chapter juxtaposes analysis of double binds with an ethnographic example of Kichwa speakers comparatively excluded from intercultural efforts and how they respond to Unified Kichwa. The chapter concludes by tracing how the term intercultural emerged in the United States and mestizo-identifying worlds in Mexico and demonstrates the lengthy trajectory of state policy as double-edged for Indigenous peoples.
The Phantom Program
Authors: Frolova-Walker Marina , Walker Jonathan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3 delves into the narrative that contemporaneous critics perceived in the Fifth Symphony, even though Shostakovich had offered no program. The context for this narrative is a rich tradition of literary and musical works that illustrate the difficulties the Russian intelligentsia faced in adjusting to the Soviet state. One particular literary prototype explored here is the fictitious symphony composed by “Nikita Karev,” a character in Konstantin Fedin’s novel Brothers. There is a discussion of the nearest real-world counterparts in symphonies by Myaskovsky, Shcherbachev, and Shaporin. The Fifth was also perceived as a Hamlet-like creation, saturated with doubts and questioning, an interpretation prompted by Yuri Olesha’s play The List of Benefits. Another play that entered this literary complex was Alexei Faiko’s The Concert, which became a kind of stage commentary on Shostakovich’s predicament. Alexei Tolstoy’s official endorsement of the symphony said that it provides evidence for a “maturation of personality,” and this chapter shows that Tolstoy’s description depended on his readers’ familiarity with the “intelligentsia and revolution” trope in such a way that Shostakovich’s symphonic narrative received a positive spin.
The End of the Affair
Authors: Frolova-Walker Marina , Walker Jonathan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 6 examines Alexander Benditsky’s recent discovery that the score of the Fifth is in constant dialogue with Bizet’s Carmen, through a richly varied range of quotations and other allusions. The inspiration came from Shostakovich’s former lover Elena (Lala), who was sent to Spain along with a documentary film-director named Karmen, whom she married. This chapter further proposes that the opening motto theme is constructed as a kind of musical acrostic, containing the essential letters from the names of the two former lovers. There is now a love narrative standing in opposition to the political narratives that have been associated with the symphony, and the book’s concluding section draws on recent literature to reflect on the nature of art that contains autobiographical and historical material, and whether or not such art should be regarded as part autobiography/history.
Safe Zone
Authors: Youdin Robert 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 9 teaches readers that harm reduction is a general term for a variety of strategies to keep people who are abusing psychoactive substances safe, to engage them in a nonjudgmental way, and to take pragmatic approaches to reduce harm associated with high-risk behaviors that people who abuse psychoactive substances experience. Harm reduction addresses the urgent need to avoid overdoses, injection-related diseases and infections, the use of contaminated psychoactive substances, and create a gateway for transitioning to psychotherapeutic treatment. The objective of harm reduction interventions is to provide safer healthcare initiatives and to create an environment where people abusing psychoactive substances have a high probability of accepting psychotherapeutic interventions to achieve not only abstinence, but also ultimately a state of recovered.
Lessons on Anger and Love
Authors: Barusch Amanda Smith 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The belief that anger and love cannot coexist amplifies the tension and pain that can follow disagreements with our loved ones. This chapter shares narratives that illustrate how the two passions can coexist, emphasizing the importance of problem-solving skills and warmth for managing late-life relationship conflicts. Noting the centrality of family anger for many adults, it draws upon personal experience, survey results, and interviews to explore “a panoply of family anger,” from the lover’s quarrel to kick the dog syndrome. The chapter touches on ancient tales of family anger and argues that myths and legends expand our emotional lexicon, enabling people to label and describe their experiences.
Aging, Angry, and Armed to the Teeth
Authors: Barusch Amanda Smith 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter is about the role of older adults in America’s raging epidemic of mass murders. Noting that the biggest mass murder in the United States was committed by a 64-year-old, the chapter offers a detailed look at some older adults (like Charles Lee “cookie” Thornton and Michael Hance) who commit such mayhem. It argues that they demonstrate a lethal combination of rage and despair, often accompanied by a deep sense of personal injustice. The chapter considers the public response to these murders, noting that it is often informed by fairly superficial (and sometimes misleading) media coverage. Often, future mass murderers signal their intentions in gestures and words that are ignored by those close to them. This suggests that, apart from the important role effective gun regulation could play, a more attentive, compassionate response to anger—particularly in men—could go a long way towards preventing the slaughter.
The “Abused Woman” and “the Invisible Man”
Authors: Stark Evan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter looks into case illustrations that recognize coercive control as the context for child maltreatment. It considers the willful disappearance of abusive men as the source of harm to women and children. The narrow focus of criminal and family courts on domestic violence resulted in the trivialization of the abuse-related offense of coercive control and shadowed the degree to which it encompasses children. The chapter cites the case of Hedda Nussbaum, which is considered to be a classic case in the field of child maltreatment. It notes how mothers were held equally or more responsible for a child’s harm than the men involved.
The Old Model
Authors: Stark Evan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the concept of domestic violence and child abuse. It considers composite harms that emerge and develop in personal life in ways that resist single-point interventions by medicine, police, or the family court. Moreover, the act of witnessing is more often a form of children’s engagement with coercive control. The chapter elaborates on Yale medical studies that revealed the duration, scope, and prevalence of women’s abuse, which includes the extension to children. It explains how the primary goal of coercive control in the arena of sexual inequality is the continued exertion of male privilege in personal life through the establishment and maintenance of a fear-based regime of domination.
Conclusion
Authors: Stark Evan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses the implications of children of coercive control for policy and practice. It explains how people subjected to coercive control experience a sense of entrapment akin to enslavement, including children. The aftermath of children exposed to domestic violence range between the possibility of fronting foster care, disappearing from the system, or being murdered by an abusive parent. Since violence against women is almost always present in patterns of coercion and control, the only effective means to protect women and children from ongoing abuse is interdiction with abusers or otherwise removing the source of coercive control. The chapter highlights the significance of laws prohibiting coercive control and economic and social support to restore children's equality and autonomy as persons.
Introduction
Authors: Akenson Donald Harman 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
“Where in the world does this come from?” is the question posed in the Introduction. It relates to a major form of Christianity that emerged in the nineteenth century: radical apocalyptic evangelicalism. The tightest, most doctrinally complete form is usually called Dispensationalism. It emerged from southern Ireland in the 1830s and passed through Great Britain and then Canada before becoming one of the main components of twentieth-century American evangelicalism. It was closely associated with the “Plymouth Brethren.” The Introduction points out that “geography counts” and that US religious history of the later nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries must be transnational in reference in order to escape the blinding parochialism of unconscious nationalism: to that end, the concept of cross-cultural “inculturation” is introduced.
Levels of Listening to Nobody Knows
Authors: Walker Elsie 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2 is about understanding cinema in relation to personally transformative lifeshocks, while urging readers to hear the resonances of cinema anew on their own terms. More specifically, the chapter explains how being a mother affects how an audioviewer might hear a film like Nobody Knows. The film depicts a family of representative Japanese children in need, gently amplifying the sounds they make and the things they say, along with stressing that they matter from the humane perspective of Gontiti’s original score. This chapter combines the perspective of being a parent with Otto Scharmer’s business-based model of multilevel listening to explain the instructive, empathic, and generative possibilities of listening to Nobody Knows in a pedagogical context.
