Ritual Speech and Text in Early Cherokee Christianity
Authors: Bender Margaret , Belt Thomas N. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Out of the Euro-American missionary encounter with Cherokee communities and its concomitant meeting of literate and oral cultures emerged a range of new sacred texts and linguistic practices. This chapter will explore the ways in which this encounter can be understood by studying such practices from the early nineteenth century. Of particular importance is the way in which these texts and associated practices allowed for and articulated with culturally specific forms of sacred voice—that is, the personae that are indexed by the text as sacred authors, narrators, or interlocutors. For example, the new sacred language indexed a shift toward personal commitment rather than community standing and group representation, and it enabled the emergence of new social boundaries.
Drinking, Talking, and Ritual Action
Authors: Manning Paul 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Drinking and talking are physiologically complementary activities, that, though impossible to do simultaneously, are often brought into closer or looser relation in rituals. One place to look to explore the ritualized linkage of drinking and speaking is to explore what kinds of metricalized calibrations exist between the obviously semiotic order of speaking and the material order of drinks. When drinking is embedded in a ritual action, accompanied by a performative utterance such as a toast, drinking is closely calibrated to talk and foregrounded as being in itself a performative act as important as speaking the toast. But in many ritual events, drinks are more loosely calibrated to ritual talk which verges on the phatic function, the drink serving as a kind of seen but unnoticed, mute material, infrastructural backdrop to a ritual event, as in informal sociable drinking. Drawing from comparative ethnographic examples, including those from the author’s fieldwork in the country of Georgia, this chapter explores the varied ritual indexical calibrations of drink to talk.
Rituals of Mourning and the Poetics of Papiamentu Talk Radio
Authors: Römer Louis 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter examines a Curaçaoan political talk radio segment in Papiamentu to show that the poetics of Ananse stories, known in Papiamentu as Kuenta di Nanzi rituals, have become models for narrating political situations and current events. The poetics of the Kuenta, due to their use in a mourning ritual known as Ocho Dia, infuses political discourses wherein they are recontextualized with the affective stances, attitudes, and ethical perspectives associated with death and bereavement. The journey of Kuenta di Nanzi’s poetics from mourning ritual to political discourse illustrates that ritual language is a crucial mediator between “micro” everyday interaction contexts and “macro” discourses about ethics, metaphysics, and political aspirations unfolding over a longer durée. Far from practices that merely cultivate obedience and foreclose the imagination, the recontextualization of the Kuenta in political talk radio underlines the ongoing efficacy of ritual language as a resource for political creativity.
Heritage Tourism and Sustainable Development
Authors: Sumi Alino , Kumar Kanungo Alok , Smith Claire 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Heritage tourism has become one way for Indigenous communities to carve out new economic opportunities in support of sustainable development. To date, this has focused on the development of cultural tourism opportunities based on cultural landscapes and ecotourism. Death heritage, one aspect of Indigenous heritage tourism, has rarely been explored, but has great potential due to the emotional impact of material culture such as graves and gravestones. There are benefits to participating in this spectrum of tourism, but there are also risks to those taking part and to the nonrenewable cultural heritage upon which these activities are based. This study explores the potential of Indigenous heritage tourism in relation to the Nagas’ connection to their land and to “remembering the dead.” Like Indigenous peoples around the world, the Nagas consider graves and burial sites to be emblematic of ancestral history. The study investigates the possibility of integrating graves, cemeteries, and aspects of burial rites with heritage tourism. The study also opens up avenues for further research into the “everyday and natural reality of death” aspect of necro-heritage rather than on tragic phenomena. Emphasis is placed on sustainable development goals (SDG): SDG 1 End Poverty in All Its Forms; SDG 5 Gender Equality; SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth; and SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, to respect cultural values and involve community control. This study also advocates for Indigenous communities to lead the projects, ultimately prioritizing Indigenous voices and reinforcing cultural identities, which can be overlooked in Indigenous archaeology.
Possible Morphosyntactic Markers of Specific Language Impairment in Kannada
Authors: Tiwari Shivani , Karanth Prathibha , Amritavalli R. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter considers tense agreement and case morphology in Kannada spontaneous speech elicited by a picture-narration task from 60 children (6–14-year-olds). Agreement in Kannada is four-dimensional, encoding tense and person-number-gender. It marks finiteness in (nonmodal) affirmative clauses; negative clauses have matrix nonfinite verbs and a finite neg. Tense-agreement inflection was accurate and appropriate in 94.29% of 438 affirmative utterances, omitted in 4.56%, and erroneous in 0.45% (excluding honorificity-agreement errors). The omissions and errors are not analysed as failures of finiteness-marking, but traced to alternate finiteness-marking strategies to compensate for incomplete acquisition of the tense-agreement paradigm. Overt case use shows case avoidance and ubiquitousness (inappropriate overuse of a single case). The few errors and omissions occur in the dative (the most frequent case) in semantically abstract or morphosyntactically complex uses. Two novel aspects of the ‘dative subject’ are observed: its use with ‘adversative’ predicates and as an impersonal construction in lieu of thematic nominative subjects by subjects whose tense-agreement paradigm is severely truncated.
Magic Realism in the African Novel
Authors: Ngom Ousmane 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The introduction of the genre of magic realism in the African novel can be traced back as early as the 1950s. In early writings of African literature (from the 1950s to the 1960s), magic realism manifests as the expression of a reality shared in society as natural or as the everyday life of African people. So much so that scholars have been very careful with the use of the expression, often preferring alternative terms like “trans-realism,” “spiritual realism,” or “animist realism” to avoid confusion with the description of fantastic or marvelous situations and to emphasize a co-presence of a material reality and a spiritual one which is part of the African experience, identity, and culture. However, if the early use of the genre of magic realism translated an expression of culture, in the 1970s, some African writers saw in the device a metaphorical tool to describe the political unrest prevailing in most parts of the continent. Thus, the study of the genre of magic realism in the African novel is of particular interest as it allows us to discover the transgenic richness of this novel. The genre mix of magic and realism makes the African novel a novel characterized by stylistic and political hybridity, in which grass-roots culture and beliefs blend with a form of struggle against neocolonial powers. Drawing on a vast range of novels but also plays and poems, this chapter follows the thematic and esthetic mutations of the genre of magic realism in the African novel.
The Ambivalences of Pan-Asianism
Authors: Watson Jini Kim 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter examines the checkered career of pan-Asianist thought, made controversial by the early twentieth-century Japanese imperialist use of the concept, as well as the challenges presented by the enormously diverse and geographically contested region of “Asia.” Arguing that the concept is characterized by the simultaneous effort to theorize Asian solidarity and to work out definitions of Asia itself, this chapter explores several stages of pan-Asianist thought. First, it traces some of the early currents of pan-Asianism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to elucidate its ambivalences, especially with regard to the role of Japan as most “advanced” Asian nation. The following two sections then turn to constellations of Asian and Afro-Asian solidarity during the postwar period of decolonization—examining the discourse of solidarity at the Bandung Conference of 1955—and, finally, to more recent retheorizations of Asia and Asian collectivity via thinkers such as Wang Hui, Chen Kuan-hsing, and Ayşa Zarakol.
Circulation

Abstract
In his satire A Tale of a Tub, Swift’s hack persona celebrates ‘so blessed an Age for the mutual Felicity of Booksellers and Authors’. This chapter asks: was this indeed such an age? Unambiguous production data are hard to establish, and the jagged uptrend seen in annual totals of surviving books must be interpreted with care. The commercialized print culture for which Swift’s hack speaks was in the ascendant, but scribal publication also flourished, alongside a manuscript culture of amateur authorship and coterie transmission. Legislative landmarks such as the abolition of Star Chamber (1641) and the lapse of the Licensing Act (1695) suggest that official censorship was in slow retreat. Yet press control was ferociously enforced by Roger L’Estrange during the Restoration era, and Defoe’s 1703 pillorying for seditious libel brought home to him that the end of pre-publication censorship made authorship no less hazardous now than before.
Letters
Authors: Gordon Andrew 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Sidney’s letters showcase his abilities in one of the most diverse, vital, and socially operative forms of writing. Sociable reading, or copying in manuscript and print, contextualises letters’ design and reception, in relation to epistolary genres such as letters of advice. Absences and asymmetries in the corpus invite interrogation, including the gendered politics of archival survival. Examining phatic features in Sidney’s letters, demonstrates rhetorical and material strategies for managing a correspondence. Exploring the letter bearer, through Sidney’s scripting and commentary upon the role, shows their paratextual functions, from framing reception, to being the subject of its recommendation. Sidney’s letter traffic reveals his personal and political investment in colonial expansion, connected to an undercurrent of violence in the management of relations with social inferiors. The stylistic self-consciousness of his Latin correspondence is present in the forceful brevity of threatening letters that demonstrate another aspect to the affective power of Sidney’s writing.
Manuscript Circulation
Authors: Eckhardt Joshua 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Philip Sidney’s literary works were not published in print during in his lifetime but instead circulated in manuscript as continued to be the norm in courtly circles at the time. This chapter surveys the manuscript copies of these works and the way in which some of them might be described as ‘scribally-published’. It offers readers a concise summary of which works by Sidney survive in rather high numbers of manuscript copies; which of those manuscripts provide the texts for standard editions; and where these and other manuscripts can be consulted, in person and, if applicable, in facsimile. Taken together, these manuscripts provide the strongest available evidence for the broad manuscript circulation, if not scribal publication, of Sidney’s writing—a phenomenon that persisted several decades beyond his death.
Sidney and His Friends
Authors: Olmsted Wendy 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Sidney’s friendships arose in part from his sympathy with members of the forward Protestant party. Through his connection to Francis Walsingham, Sidney shared allegiances with Hubert Languet, his humanist mentor, and with Fulke Greville and Edward Dyer. Drawing on Cicero’s practice of writing intimate letters to absent friends, Sidney and Languet’s letters define a friendship in which each can find company, for, as Aristotle writes, ‘the friend is another self’. When Sidney returns to England, he celebrates his reunion with two worthy poets, Fulke Greville and Edward Dyer: ‘Join hearts and hands, so let it be / Make but one mind in bodies three’. Now the friend is not just another self, but ‘a happy blessed trinity’. Whereas Sidney’s friendship with Languet was dialogic and reflective, his friendships with Dyer and Greville were lyrical and expressive. This chapter examines how these models of friendship inform Sidney’s life and literary works.
European Union Politics in the Netherlands
Authors: van der Veer Reinout , van Esch Femke 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter examines the evolving relationship between Dutch politics and the European Union (EU). It investigates how the role of the Netherlands in the EU has transformed and explores the impact of the EU on Dutch politics. As a founding member, the Dutch state actively shaped the process of European integration, leaving its mark on key EU elements such as the European single market, Economic and Monetary Union, and the Common Agricultural Policy. However, as one of the smaller and more trade-minded EU member states, Dutch politics has also displayed resistance to integration. Simultaneously, European integration has profoundly shaped the politics of the Netherlands. The growing influence of EU institutions, perceived encroachment on sovereignty and national identity, and EU crises have politicized the EU to an unprecedented degree. This has led to the rise of both Eurosceptic and pro-European parties, establishing a new ‘transnational’ cleavage in the Dutch political landscape. The chapter surveys existing research on the dynamics between Dutch politics and the EU, covering topics such as the influence of small states in European politics, mainstream party responses to Euroscepticism, and the attitudes of Dutch voters towards European integration. By tracing the historical development of the Netherlands–EU relationship and the research on this relationship in political science, the chapter provides a comprehensive overview while also outlining an agenda for future research.
Political Relations in the Kingdom of the Netherlands
Authors: Oostindie Gert , Veenendaal Wouter 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is not exclusively located in Europe. Six small Caribbean islands have been connected to the European Netherlands for almost four centuries, and remain part of the transatlantic Kingdom today. This chapter first discusses the historical origins of these Kingdom relationships, and the ways in which historical legacies of colonialism and slavery continue to influence contemporary Kingdom relations. Then, it pays attention to the peculiar institutional structure of the Kingdom as laid down in the 1954 Kingdom Charter (Statuut). Despite the persistent ambiguities and conflicts that the Charter has created, it remarkably still continues to structure Kingdom relations, even though the membership of the Kingdom has changed drastically. Subsequently, the chapter discusses the perspectives and policies regarding Kingdom relations in both the European Netherlands and the Caribbean islands. It shows that while Kingdom relations play a very marginal role in Dutch politics and society, the populations of the Dutch Caribbean islands have deeply ambivalent attitudes towards the Kingdom, resulting in what can be called a head-versus-heart dilemma. The chapter then looks at the international context of Kingdom relations, and provides a comparative perspective by examining the political status of other non-sovereign territories in the Caribbean and beyond. It finishes with a conclusion in which four potential avenues for future research on Kingdom relations are outlined.
The Rise and Fall of Dutch Consociationalism
Authors: Andeweg Rudy B. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Consociationalism is a theoretical construct combining intense social segmentation, putting political stability at risk, with elite cooperation, mitigating that risk. This perspective has long dominated the study of Dutch politics, particularly through the work of Arend Lijphart. This chapter revisits that perspective, critically reviewing (1) the extent to which divisions in Dutch society threatened political stability, (2) the extent to which elite cooperation arose as a response to that threat, (3) the erosion of social segmentation (depillarization) and its causes, as well as (4) its consequences for elite cooperation. While Dutch politics can no longer be described as consociational, the process of deconsociationalization raises new questions about the relationship between elite cooperation and the rise of populism.
Judicial Politics in the Netherlands
Authors: Zouridis Stavros 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In the Dutch constitutional tradition, political and judicial institutions are separated. Mutual respect for each other’s constitutional roles have characterized the relationship between parliament and government on the one hand and the judiciary on the other. Recently, this relationship has become distressed. Politicians nowadays openly criticize both court decisions and the performance of individual judges. Courts have shaken off their natural reservations about interfering with political processes. At least three forms of judicial politics seem on the rise. With their decisions, judges sometimes intervene directly in political processes such as the formation of groups in parliament. Judges also do not hesitate to rule on highly controversial political issues with high-impact judgments. As an institution, the judiciary has also been granted a right to advise on draft legislation. This new power further draws the judiciary into the political arena. This chapter sketches some research directions on the rise of judicial politics in the Netherlands. It appears that the rise of judicial politics is reshuffling the constitutional ensemble in the Netherlands, which, in turn, may affect the legitimacy of both politics and the judiciary.
Digital Constitutionalism and Copyright
Authors: Geiger Christophe , Jütte Bernd Justin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The process of copyright’s constitutionalization significantly contributed to constitutionalizing digital spaces. Copyright had to adapt to digital technologies and changing creative, artistic, and informational processes. Renegotiating the social contract underpinning copyright and its enforcement were supported by a fundamental rights framework that helped to interpret and apply ‘old’ copyright rules against the background of new digital environments. In particular, the right to freedom of expression reshaped the interplay of exclusive rights and exceptions but more crucially the balance between enforcement interest of right-holders and the freedom to receive and impart information on the Internet. Other fundamental rights have contributed to design a more inclusive and innovation-geared copyright framework. Looking ahead, EU constitutional norms other than fundamental rights can play an important role in the reshaping of copyright. Broadening the constitutional lens beyond fundamental rights, a full (digital) constitutionalization of copyright can serve as an example of sound substantive and procedural adoption of law and policy in the digital era. This process must be accompanied with an institutionalization of important public functions to guarantee accountability of private actors fulfilling quasi-public tasks, and to ensure the respect for normative systems (such as copyright) when adopting new technologies, such as artificial intelligence.
Perceived self and social relevance of content motivates news sharing across cultures and topics

Abstract
Well-informed individual and collective decision-making is aided by access to high-quality, factual information. What motivates people to share high-quality news, and how can these motives be leveraged to promote news sharing? Based on the theory that self-related and social motives encourage sharing behavior, we designed and tested interventions to increase news sharing. In the interventions, individuals were exposed to actual news stories and were prompted to identify why the content was relevant to themselves (self-relevance) or people they know (social relevance). Across four studies (Nparticipants = 2,559, Nobservations = 18,780), we systematically examined the effectiveness of these interventions, their generalizability across news topics (climate change and health) and cultures (the United States of America and the Netherlands), their translation to more naturalistic contexts, and their underlying neuropsychological mechanisms. In all studies, we observed expected positive correlations among perceived self and social relevance and sharing intentions. In a neuroimaging study, we also observed corresponding increases in activity in self-referential and social cognitive brain regions. Using the content-framing interventions to test causal relationships, we found that the interventions increased sharing intentions and behavior. Furthermore, we observed generalizability across news topics and cultural contexts and translation to an ecologically valid news exposure context. These findings advance theory by adding neural and behavioral evidence that self-related and social motives prompt people to share information, and demonstrate the ability of content-framing interventions to harness these motives to encourage high-quality news sharing.
Financial accumulation in non-financial corporations: a firm-level assessment for the OECD
Authors: Pedrazzoli Agustin , Alvarez Peralta Ignacio , Ruesga Benito Santos M 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article analyzes the determinants of financial accumulation in non-financial corporations (NFCs) at the firm level for OECD economies from 1994 to 2021. We estimate firm-level regression models contrasting hypotheses traditionally found in the literature on financialization (that firms turn to financial incomes in response to weakened profitability or shareholder-value orientation) with more recent alternative explanations (that point toward other independent processes such as monetary policy rates or corporate internationalization). Our results show that changes in monetary policy and stock-market capitalization are more relevant drivers of financial income accumulation overall, whereas the traditional explanations appear to be significant only for firms in the USA, particularly for highly financialized firms. Additionally, corporate internationalization also appears to be strongly related to financial incomes in NFCs. These results, thus, support recent calls for a revision of the traditional narrative regarding financial accumulation in advanced economies and its relation to other general economic processes.
