Insidious Trauma in Sophocles’ Women of Trachis
Authors: Weiberg Erika L. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 delves into the themes, plot, diction, and stagecraft of Sophocles’ Women of Trachis for examples of “insidious trauma,” which broadens the definition of trauma to address pervasive fear of sexual assault, populace-ravaging warfare, and other kinds of violence, to which female characters in tragedy know that they are vulnerable, and for which they are often blamed. In Women of Trachis, Heracles’ homecoming is derailed when Deianeira discovers that he has raped and enslaved a woman named Iole, whom he has sent home to be his concubine after sacking her city. Deianeira fashions a love charm for Heracles out of blood that she received from a centaur who sexually assaulted her, without realizing that this charm is in fact a poison. Deianeira’s stories about her past and decisions in the present thus touch on discrete episodes of sexual assault as well as those best described as insidious trauma, including the pain of waiting for her absent and neglectful husband and her nostalgia for a childhood free from fear of sexual violence. Despite the significant challenges to recognizing this range of experiences as traumatic, Sophocles’ Women of Trachis teaches spectators to bear witness to women’s trauma through the mistakes and late learning of two internal witnesses: the Chorus of young Trachinian women and Deianeira’s son, Hyllus.
Euripides’ Helen and the Trauma of Survival
Authors: Weiberg Erika L. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Chapter 4 argues that Euripides’ Helen dramatizes the trauma of survival after a military disaster that killed many soldiers abroad. Helen takes a different approach from the earlier tragic homecoming stories by giving both husband and wife a future together after the events of the play. Yet far from being a simple romantic comedy of adventure and escape, the novel plot of Helen requires its protagonists to navigate together the difficult condition of survival after traumatic loss. This crisis of survival is faced by marginal characters in earlier homecoming plays—the Chorus or Hyllus or Amphitryon—since they are the only ones left standing at the end. Helen instead casts its protagonists, and particularly Helen, as survivors of losses that continue to haunt them, as well as virulent stories that challenge their sense of their own memory and identity. This chapter traces this crisis of survival through formal tropes such as repetition, doubled scenes, and performances that re-enact past trauma. Helen shows how these repetitions and returns can function as ways of working through past trauma by changing the survivor’s relationship to the traumatic experience.
Coda
Authors: Egeler Matthias 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
While the preceding chapters focus on the rural landscape as it is viewed and experienced by its inhabitants, the Coda highlights that landscapes are perceived not only by the people who inhabit them but also by those who pass through, who visit them, or who for other reasons look at them from the outside. To engage with such an outside experience of the land, this chapter approaches the representation of the Strandir countryside in the town of Hólmavík, and more generally the engagement with landscape in art. Studying the way the landscape is represented there for outside visitors opens up some broader perspectives on the urban or outside engagement with the landscape in contrast to the rural experience of it. Between the country and the city, the engagement with the landscape differs markedly.
Due Process As American Democracy
Authors: Redish Martin H. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Procedural due process guarantees to individual members of the polity that government will treat each of them with fairness and respect when seeking to take their life, liberty, or property. Although enshrined in the US Constitution’s Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, the scope of those guarantees has long been a source of public and academic debate. Due Process as American Democracy develops an entirely new approach to the procedural due process, grounded in foundational precepts of American political theory. It argues that American political thought comes from an adversarial understanding of democracy, where individuals need to protect their own interests, because no one else can be trusted to do so. This skeptical democracy informs the separation of powers and operates as the protector of liberal democracy. When applied to procedural due process, adversary democracy dictates a skepticism of both judges and those who seek unilaterally to represent the individuals’ interests. The end result is a demand for strong prophylactic protections of judicial neutrality and independence far beyond what is presently required and imposition of serious restrictions on the ability of courts to appoint others to protect individuals’ legally protected interests. The book applies these underlying democratic premises to areas of modern civil procedure and constitutional law, urging dramatic alterations in both.
Constitutional Remedies as Due Process of Law
Authors: Redish Martin H. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Like the chapter that precedes it, this chapter focuses on due process issues in the context of pure constitutional law. It concerns the often ignored anomaly of allowing the very majoritarian branches of government that are the primary regulatory targets of the countermajoritarian US Constitution to have all but total control over the remedies which the courts are permitted to issue to prevent or punish violations of that Constitution. The chapter argues that abdicating the judicial responsibility to ensure that the majoritarian branches of government do not violate the Constitution violates core notions of adversary democratic due process, which is grounded in a skepticism concerning the good faith of those wielding majoritarian power.
Motivational Interviewing Communication Skills
Authors: Schechter Nicole , Wegener Stephen T. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents the motivational interviewing (MI) tasks and skills that are used to make the MI spirit come alive in the rehabilitation context. The foundational MI skills—open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries (OARS)—are used strategically to mobilize change talk and move patients toward goals. Open-ended questions help the patient say more about desired changes and clarify the path. Affirmations increase patient confidence. Reflections help the patient feel heard and highlight discrepancies between behaviors and goals. Summaries are used to bring the session to a close, reinforce the patient’s reasons for change, and move to action. OARS and other skills discussed in this chapter are interwoven in the four MI tasks: engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning. Each task incorporates distinct goals and different ways of using the skills. Ultimately, when MI skills are used to guide a patient through the four tasks, change is achieved.
Motivational Interviewing Training, Training Resources, and System Change
Authors: Schechter Nicole , Torres Laura 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents approaches to incorporating motivational interviewing (MI) training in a rehabilitation clinic, department, or organization. It discusses the importance of connecting MI to the organizational mission and offers recommendations on how to determine the most effective approach to implementation of MI training and integrating MI practices into clinical work. The chapter discusses assessment of organizational readiness for MI training and implementation and offers ideas for who to train, when to train, and how to train. This chapter outlines different types and combinations of MI teaching formats and training resources, including strategies to support skill maintenance and the sustainability of training programs. The importance of and how to evaluate training effectiveness and learner knowledge and attitudes are also covered in this chapter.
Russia in the Pacific
Authors: Ziegler Charles E. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
For more than a century, Russia has aspired to recognition as a great power in the Asia Pacific, yet Russian leaders from the tsarist through the Soviet and post-Soviet eras have encountered repeated setbacks in the region. At certain points Russia appeared poised to make a breakthrough, but outcomes never matched expectations. Structural factors constraining Russian regional aspirations include geographic challenges, demographic imbalances, and persistent low levels of economic development. Institutional factors—the hyper-centralized, secretive character of Russian foreign policymaking, bureaucratic competition, and dominance of a single powerful executive—have been critical in shaping Russian foreign policy toward the Pacific. Agency in the form of unique personality traits of autocratic executives, and their receptiveness to ideas of imperial dominance, expansion, and national identity are important, but the persistence of certain patterns in Russia’s Asia policy suggests even the most powerful autocrat faces constraints. Starting with Russian imperial expansion in the late nineteenth century, this book assesses Soviet Asian projects during the Cold War, then considers diplomatic, economic, and military dimensions of Vladimir Putin’s pivot toward the Asia Pacific. The conceptual approach is analytically eclectic, combining realism’s focus on military and economic dimensions of power with a constructivist’s attention to questions of national identity.
Introduction
Authors: Ziegler Charles E. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Since the late nineteenth century, successive Russian regimes have made repeated attempts to secure territory, exercise influence, and be accepted as a great power in the Asia Pacific. However, Russia has encountered significant obstacles in its quest for recognition as a major power in the region. In the early nineteenth century tsarist Russia was far more active in the Pacific than the United States, but the latter dominated the Pacific throughout much of the twentieth century. The USSR could only briefly challenge Washington, in the 1970s, and lost ground with the collapse of the Soviet state. Employing a broad historical approach makes it possible to discern certain patterns in tsarist Russian and Soviet foreign policy that shape current Russian policy. A brief survey of Russia’s expansion eastward indicates some parallels to America’s westward expansion, though Russia’s imperial ambitions suffered a major setback during the Russo-Japanese War, and Soviet efforts were only partially successful. This chapter outlines the plan of the book.
Socialism
Authors: Sehon Scott R. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This book provides an introduction to arguments for and against socialism. The approach is logical and analytic: arguments are broken down into numbered steps, with each step clearly labeled as a premise or an inference from previous steps. This method effectively lays bare the structure of an argument, allowing the reader to see exactly what is assumed by the argument and whether those assumptions really do logically imply the claimed conclusion. While the book aims to be fair to the arguments from both sides, it ultimately sides with socialism: it defines socialism as coming in degrees, and maintains that the arguments indicate that we should move in a strongly democratic socialist direction. The overarching argument has relatively simple premises: socialism promotes human well-being better than capitalism, and socialism does not violate rights of individuals. Naturally, the defender of capitalism will deny these premises and will claim that capitalism better promotes human well-being; many capitalists also claim that socialism does violate individual rights, particularly property rights. The bulk of the book sorts through the data and arguments on both sides, considering arguments from philosophers like G. A. Cohen, Jonathan Wolff, David Schweickart, Ronald Dworkin, and John Tomasi. But the book also considers arguments by scholars from other fields, including economists F. A. Hayek and Milton Friedman.
The Case for Markets
Authors: Sehon Scott R. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter analyzes two classic arguments for the superiority of markets: F. A. Hayek’s claim that decentralized markets utilize information better than could ever be done through central planning and Milton Friedman’s argument that free markets are superior because they harness the power of self-interest. If such arguments are correct, then they would work to undermine the Democracy Argument for Socialism presented in the previous chapter. However, it is shown that both of these arguments rely on a crucial assumption: that if each person does what is best for them, we will arrive at a situation that is best for everyone. That assumption will be questioned in the succeeding chapters.
Market Failures II: Monopolies and Monopsonies
Authors: Sehon Scott R. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter contends that the Hayek- and Friedman-inspired arguments for the superiority of markets fail when it comes to monopolies, monopsonies, or other situations in which shopping is impractical. When monopolies threaten, prices no longer provide the decentralized information that was meant to be the great advantage markets had over more democratic control; even when each actor works rationally in their own best interest, this does not result in a situation in which well-being is maximized overall. A monopsony exists when there is only one buyer of a particular good. Since most people have only their labor to sell, this situation too can undercut the reasons for thinking that markets will increase overall well-being.
Conclusion
Authors: Sehon Scott R. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter acknowledges that we cannot expect to easily sort out all issues, especially deep political issues, through an iterated process of laying out our premises and inferences in numbered step arguments. Nonetheless, the chapter contends that there is great value in this approach, even if there are limits to what we can hope to accomplish. The chapter then summarizes the arguments covered in the book, and explains how the book made a case for the soundness of the Master Argument for Socialism, according to which socialism better promotes human well-being and does not violate rights, and that we should therefore move in the direction of socialism.
A Livable Planet
Authors: Powers Madison 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This book argues for a targeted human rights approach, assigning priority to a bundle of rights strategically important for counteracting ecologically unsustainable, economically predatory market practices that exhaust natural resources or degrade the environmental conditions essential for a livable planet. Climate disruption is an important example of the ecological consequences of such practices. However, our ecological predicament consists of a cluster of concurrent, mutually reinforcing crises, including climate change, land-system change, loss of biodiversity and biosphere integrity, alteration of biogeochemical cycles, and decreased freshwater availability. They are causally intertwined and resistant to resolution in isolation. Their harmful effects result from or are exacerbated by the structure of the global political economy, especially institutions that influence the acquisition, control, and use of land, energy, and water resources. These institutions shape the economic decisions that have transformed every region of the globe and altered the planetary conditions that support life on Earth. A livable planet therefore requires changes in humanity’s relation to the rest of nature, which in turn requires the transformation of our economic relationships and the political and economic ideals underpinning them. Specifically, the balance of power between states and markets should be reversed by implementing an enforceable institutional bulwark against market practices that subvert the ecological conditions essential for the secure realization of human rights. These practices enable the powerful to hoard economic opportunities, crowd out sustainable alternatives, extract resources from vulnerable communities, shift environmental and economic burdens, dodge political and market accountability, and hijack public institutions for private purposes.
Sustainability and Political Economy
Authors: Powers Madison 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter surveys criticisms of prominent conceptions of sustainability, and it defends a definition suitable for assessing the multiple, mutually reinforcing ecological consequences arising from the configuration of global political and economic arrangements. Subsequent sections examine four ecological critiques that pinpoint unsustainable features of the global political economy: the “logic of capitalism,” understood as the relentless pursuit of profits; a self-destructive consumerist ethos, whether deeply rooted in human nature or artificially sustained by a flawed ideal of social progress; macroeconomic policies that make economic growth the synoptic goal of social organization; and the causal impact of economic inequality. The conclusion is that each diagnosis is useful but incomplete and that the primary focus of critique should be those political institutions and market practices most responsible for undermining both the sustainability of the global political economy and the basic elements of well-being protected by human rights.
Human Rights and Ecological Goals
Authors: Powers Madison 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter defends a human rights approach tailored to provide practical guidance for a transition to a more just and sustainable global political economy. Its aim is to curb ecologically unsustainable, economically predatory market practices and change the institutional arrangements that support them. There are three main components. First, some human rights deserve enhanced priority because they serve dual purposes. They secure the basic elements of human well-being that ground those rights, and they perform their normative function, in part, by securing the ecological conditions that sustain human life and make possible the satisfaction of basic needs. Second, central to the approach is the state’s duty to protect human rights, primarily by counteracting structurally entrenched economic disadvantages and cumulative concentrations of power that systematically undermine their secure realization. Third, the chapter responds to normative and conceptual objections to human rights theories generally and their specific application to complex ecological crises.
Dobbs and Our Privacies
Authors: Huq Aziz Z. , Wexler Rebecca 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the relationship between reproductive autonomy and data privacies. It documents first the scope of anti-abortion criminal and civil investigations after Dobbs and explains why these investigations will seek to exploit digital personal information, creating new risks to the pregnant and their care providers as well as broad spillover harms to data privacy more generally. It then describes the expansive production of digital personal data in the information economy and explains how such data can put reproductive autonomy at risk. The role of, and risks from, digital data in the coming abortion wars will ultimately be determined by two groups of actors: private tech firms and state actors who will set the rules for anti-abortion investigators’ access to the data. The chapter concludes with a detailed prescriptive account of what tech firms and state actors should do to protect digital privacy after Dobbs.
Thalamocortical mechanisms for spike-and-wave epileptic seizures
Authors: Destexhe Alain , Sejnowski Terrence J. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis chapter focuses on thalamocortical mechanisms for spike-and-wave epileptic seizures. It discusses the genesis of paroxysmal discharges in the thalamus and how they lead to spike-and-wave seizures in the thalamocortical system. Experimental data found that seizures are generated by mechanisms that are similar to those that generate spindle oscillations. The chapter looks into the experimental results of the results of in vivo and in vitro experiments as per the context of the thalamocortical-loop framework. It explains how computational models provide an integrated view of the genesis of pathological oscillations, with the different types of synaptic receptors involved, and resolve the apparent contradictions in the interpretation of the experimental data.
Starting from the Basics
Authors: Dell'Erba Marco 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the problem of systematization entailed in smart contracts. From a commercial law perspective, it discusses whether the rules provided in the commercial context for the conclusion of contracts between two ‘human’ parties may be safely extended to blockchain smart contracts. After analysing smart contracts and their main properties, this chapter surveys the relevant North American and European regulations. The chapter suggests that applying the existing regulatory framework to the new emerging commercial practices is the best solution and emphasizes the need for uniform principles as a precondition for commercial practices to prosper. It takes into consideration important historical precedents, such as the Law of Merchants (lex mercatoria), and its new form, the so-called lex cryptographia (or cryptographica), as the correct paradigms to be applied to the globalized cryptographic-based context. Finally, this chapter emphasizes the need for both public regulation and self-regulation as two complementary sources in commercial law, and the role that self-regulatory organizations and industry representatives should play in the shift towards a new technologic area.
‘It Wasn’t Worth the Pain to Me to Pursue It’
Authors: Henry Nicola 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The non-consensual taking, creating, or sharing of intimate images, also known as ‘image-based sexual abuse’, is a widespread global problem. While there has been growing attention to this phenomenon, little empirical research has investigated victim-survivor experiences either of their abuse or of their search for justice after the abuse. This chapter focuses on justice responses to image-based sexual abuse, drawing on semi-structured, qualitative interviews with twenty-five Australian victim-survivors. The author notes that based on negative perceptions of the police or previous experiences, most participants thought there was ‘no point’ in reporting their experiences to the police. Although participants had diverse conceptions about what justice entailed, they all wanted some kind of recognition for the harm done to them. They wanted greater awareness, training, and education, as well as access to information. The chapter concludes with recommendations for law, policy, and practice to enhance justice outcomes for victim-survivors of image-based sexual abuse.
