Hard Hats, Rednecks, And Macho Men
Authors: Nystrom Derek 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Everywhere you look in 1970s American cinema, you find white working-class men. They bring a violent conclusion to Easy Rider, murdering the film’s representatives of countercultural alienation and disaffection. They lurk in the Georgia woods of Deliverance, attacking outsiders in a manner that evokes the South’s recent history of racial violence and upheaval. They haunt the singles nightclubs of Looking for Mr. Goodbar, threatening the film’s newly liberated heroine with patriarchal violence. They strut through the disco clubs of Saturday Night Fever, dancing to music whose roots in post-Stonewall homosexuality invite ambiguity that the men ignore. Hard Hats, Rednecks, and Macho Men argues that the persistent appearance of working-class characters in these and other films of the 1970s reveals the powerful role class played in the key social and political developments of the decade, such as the decline of the New Left and counterculture, the re-emergence of the South as the Sunbelt, and the rise of the women’s and gay liberation movements. Examining the “youth cult” film, the neo-Western “southern,” and the “new nightlife” film, Nystrom shows how these cinematic renderings of white working-class masculinity actually tell us more about the crises facing the middle class during the 1970s than about working-class experience itself. Hard Hats thus demonstrates how these representations of the working class serve as fantasies about a class Other-fantasies that offer imaginary resolutions to middle-class anxieties provoked by the decade’s upheavals. Drawing on examples of iconic films from the era-Saturday Night Fever, Cruising, Five Easy Pieces, and Walking Tall, among others-Nystrom presents an incisive, evocative study of class and American cinema during one of the nation’s most tumultuous decades.
Grotesque Relations
Authors: Edmunds Susan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this book, Susan Edmunds explores he relationship between modernist domestic fiction and the rise of the U.S. welfare state. This relationship, which began in the Progressive era, emerged as maternalist reformers developed an inverted discourse of social housekeeping in order to call for state protection and regulation of the home. Modernists followed suit, turning the genre of domestic fiction inside out in order to represent new struggles on the border between home, market and state. dmunds uses the work of Djuna Barnes, Jean Toomer, Tillie Olsen, Edna Ferber, Nathanael West, and Flannery O'Connor to trace the significance of modernists' radical reconstitution of the genre of domestic fiction. Using a grotesque aesthetic of revolutionary inversion, these writers looped their depictions of the domestic sphere through revolutionary discourses associated with socialism, consumerism and the avant-garde. These authors used their grotesque discourses to deal with issues of social conflict ranging from domestic abuse and racial violence to educational reform, public health care, eugenics, and social security. With the New Deal, the U.S. welfare state realized maternalist ambitions to disseminate a modern sentimental version of the home to all white citizens, successfully translating radical bids for collective social security into a racialized order of selective and detached domestic security. The book argues that modernists engaged and contested this historical trajectory from the start.
Introduction
Authors: Madsen Finn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Swedish legal system primarily provides two alternative methods for resolving legal disputes: litigation before courts of law or arbitration. In arbitration proceedings, two or more parties agree to refer the dispute for adjudication by an arbitral tribunal consisting of one or more arbitrators. The arbitrator or arbitrators may have been selected by the parties or the parties may also have assigned this task to a third party. The parties are afforded the possibility to determine to a large extent the form of the proceedings and the preconditions on which the dispute is to be adjudicated. The arbitral tribunal conclusively determines the dispute through the issuance of an award. The award cannot be appealed substantively and, provided it fulfils certain basic requirements, it may be forcibly executed in a manner corresponding to the enforcement of court judgments.
Choice of Forum and CISG: Remarl,s on the Latter’s Impact on the Former
Authors: Ferrari* Franco 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is commonly understood that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods1 (CISG)2 constitutes a “substantive law convention’’3 and that, among other topics not dealt with, it does not (directly) set forth Rule On Jurisdiction.
Preliminary Agreements and CISG Contracts
Authors: Torsello* Marco 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the notion of sale adopted under the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (hereinafter “CISG”) and considers whether and to what extent that notion is broad enough to include preliminary agreements. Twenty-five years after the adoption of the CISG, one might assume a fundamental notion such as that of sale to be a clear and undisputed one. One might also consider the task undertaken here as merely consisting in measuring the overlaps of well-defined concepts. Scholarly writings and court decisions show that this is not entirely the case, however, and that, in particular with regard to transactions that are at some variance with the historically and socially most common notion of sale, there is still place for discussion of the precise sphere of application of the CISG. The notion of preliminary agreements, on the other hand, seems rather non-distinctive, the more so because (with the exception of a few jurisdictions) it is not a normative notion, although it describes a common practice in both domestic and international commerce.
CISG Articles 14 Through 24
Authors: Viscasillas* Pilar Perales 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Uniform international interpretation of the 1980 Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) in particular and in general of all of the substantive uniform law instruments prepared by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) is certainly an ideal goal. It is, however, difficult to achieve for many reasons, particularly because there is not a unique court to dictate that uniform interpretation of the Convention. That is why the method choosen by UNCITRAL—comparative judicial interpretation—is one of the key elements to the future success of UNCITRAL legal texts.
Delivery Terms and the Passing of Risi&lt;: Drafting Clauses Related to CISG Articles 66-70
Authors: Erauw* Johan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When drafting a contract provision relating to transfer of risk, it is important to keep in mind principles of party autonomy as well as the impact of trade customs and usages under CISG Article 9. Generally speaking, the clearer the communication between parties and the better the drafting of the agreement, the greater the chances of success in moving from negotiation to performance of a sale of goods. The CISG, in very broad terms, presumes that the intentions of the parties are in line with trade usages. Careful drafting can avoid the risk of ambiguities surrounding vague trade usages, and will prevent disputes and surprises. Such drafting requires an understanding of the applicable law. This chapter deals with drafting for delivery terms and the passage of risk when the applicable law is the CISG.
Drafting Contracts to Deal with Insecurity and Prospective Breach (Articles 71, 72, 73(2))
Authors: Walter* Mark S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Almost any situation to which these CISG provisions are appropriately applied conjures up the age-old segue to preachy wisdom, “and, the moral of the story is ... ”The moral, in fact, seems to be: never take on a task when it appears that you cannot complete performance. Or, on the other side of the coin, if it looks like your trading partner cannot perform, he probably can’t.
The UNCITRAL Digest, the Right to Interest, and the Interest Rate Controversy
Authors: Alstine* Michael P Van 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The issue of an aggrieved party’s right to interest has the curious status of being among the most routine and at the same time most controversial subjects under the U.N. Sales Convention. CISG Articles 78 and 84(1) grant to an aggrieved party a basic, and largely uncontroversial, right to interest for unpaid sums. Unfortunately, in the charged political and economic environment at the negotiation of the Convention in the 1970s, the drafters were unable to agree on an appropriate interest rate.
The Proliferation of BITs: Conﬂicts of Treaties, Proceedings and Awards
Authors: Sacerdoti Giorgio 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The considerable number of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) in force has given rise to conflicts when, in relation to the same subject matter, a right of action exits for a given investor (or related investors) under different BITs. In fact, two recent international disputes, the CME v. Czech Republic and Lauder Czech Republic arbitrations, have attracted widespread attention as the first example in which this situation has arisen. The same acts by the Czech Republic were subject to two separate arbitrations conducted concurrently. The two cases, however, underwent conflicting procedures, were dealt with under conflicting governing treaty provisions and resulted in seemingly conflicting awards. This situation has highlighted the risks inherent in the current international investment regime of intricate, non-coordinated networks of BITs. The fundamental risk is that this glaring inconsistency could potentially bring a backlash against international investment.
Water Can Flow Uphill A Narrative of Central Arizona
Authors: Redman Charles L , Kinzig Ann P 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This narrative of an Arizona case study explores the relationship between ecological and human systems in the Salt River Valley of central Arizona during the past millennium, with a focus on the 140-year period of European American settlement. Our subject matter is the changing mosaic of Sonoran Desert landscape, irrigated farmland, and urban settlement. We examine how evolving patterns of perception, valuation, and use of water and land have been influenced by, and in turn have influenced, climate, environment, settlement, and agrarian landscapes. The logic for studying this region is strengthened by its presence within the CAP LTER project, one of only two urban sites in a national network of 26 sites. Our research perspective derives from two underlying concepts: (1) human management of surface and groundwater resources in this arid region has fundamentally altered both natural and human-modified landscapes, and (2) the technological and social aspects of this relationship have advanced over a relatively short time and are proceeding rapidly. Hence, this locale constitutes an excellent laboratory for examining the interplay between ecological and human systems.
Damages Under the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
Authors: Zeller Bruno 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Damages Under the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, Second Edition presents a practical and detailed analysis of the methods used to determine and calculate damages under the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Incorporating both worldwide judicial and arbitral decisions, Damages Under the CISG, Second Edition, is a unique and comprehensive guide to fully understanding this important area of law. It provides authoritative guidance on the differences that exist between uniform international instruments and domestic laws and offers comparative analysis of the calculation of damages under the civil and common law systems. The fault system and causation principle are compared with the foreseeability principle, one of the key considerations under Article 74 of the CISG. Where applicable to understanding damages issues, the UNIDROIT Principles and the Principles of European Contract Law are referenced in depth. These principles have been updated and the information revamped for the second edition, as well as additional information on fundamental breach of contract.
The Memory of Love
Authors: Hawley John Stratton 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Surdas is unarguably the best known poet in Vrajbhasha, the most widely understood of the medieval Hindi literary dialects. He is the foremost Hindi poet of Krishna devotion and his verses are canonical in the Krishnaite tradition, which today is particularly vital in Western India. The verses are sung popularly throughout the Hindi-speaking regions. As with most legendary poet-singers in Indian oral tradition, Surdas’s authorship has been attributed to a great many verses. In his case, these constitute a very large corpus of devotional lyrics to Krishna, known in Hindi as the Sur Sagar, “Sur’s Ocean.” In this volume, Jack Hawley offers a selection of his charming translations of the most appealing of these poems, arranged according to such themes as “Krishna growing up,” “the pangs and politics of love,” and “The Ramayana.” Hawley’s monumental annotated translation and commentary on the full corpus of lyrics attributed to Surdas, accompanied by Kenneth Bryant’s edition of the complete Vrajbhasha text, will be published within the next few years in our South Asia Research series. In the meantime, this abridged edition will appeal to a wide range of scholars and students of Hinduism and Indian culture.
Wyndham Lewis, Soldier of Humor
Authors: North Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A more unlikely fan of Disney than Wyndham Lewis is hard to imagine.2 An implacable critic of the “infant-cult” (TWM, 68), Lewis could not even bring himself to join in the worldwide enthusiasm for Chaplin. What he called “the pathos of the small” (TWM, 66) seemed to excite in him not sympathy but disgust, and some of his most extreme thunderations are aimed at “the worship of the ridiculous” (Tarr, 15) that he identified especially with screen comedy. For someone who was repelled by the “doll-like face,” the “tiny wrists,” the “small body” (TWM, 67) of the Tramp, Mickey Mouse must have seemed a most disgusting rodent indeed. And yet, it turns out that Lewis was a lifelong fan of movie cartoons (CWB, 160) and that his very real admiration for Disney was but part of a genuine interest in film comedy that subsisted side by side with his public diatribes against it.
Tibetan Ritual
Authors: Cabezón José Ignacio 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ritual is one of the most pervasive religious phenomena in the Tibetan cultural world. Despite its ubiquity and importance to Tibetan cultural life, however, only in recent years has Tibetan ritual been given the attention it deserves. This is the first scholarly collection to focus on this important subject. Unique in its historical, geographical and disciplinary breadth, this book brings together eleven essays by an international cast of scholars working on ritual texts, institutions and practices in the greater Tibetan cultural world - Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia. While most of the chapters focus on Buddhism, two deal with ritual in Tibet's indigenous Bon religion. All of the essays are original to this volume. An extensive introduction by the editor provides a broad overview of Tibetan ritual and contextualizes the chapters within the field of Buddhist and Tibetan studies. The book should find use in advanced undergraduate courses and graduate seminars on Tibetan religion. It will also be of interest to students and scholars of ritual generally.
The Roles of the Playwright
Authors: Hapgood Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The roles that a playwright may play within the performance¬ ensemble have received surprisingly little attention. Where modern Western theatre is concerned, what has been written on the subject reads like propaganda issued from entrenched positions or communiques from an on-going battle. The combat has concentrated mostly on questions of primacy. Some one of the participants in the performance-ensemble may be felt to be dominant throughout, in which case there is talk of a dramatist’s theatre or a director’s theatre or an actor’s theatre.
The Treasonable Practices Act
Authors: Barrell John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the months following the arrests of May I794, the SCI was dying if not quite dead, and the membership of the LCS had melted away: Mary Thale estimates that from June to December it declined from a peak of 800 paid-up members to less than a third of that number. Following the acquittals, however, numbers increased dramatically; in some weeks by as many as 200 new members a week, to a new peak, never again surpassed, of some 3,ooo. By the summer the society felt confident enough to take a new political initiative, and on 29 June a public meeting was held in St George’s Fields, Southwark, while large musters of mounted militia, and four pieces of artillery, were standing by at Clapham Common and Kennington.
Openings
Authors: Nuttall A D 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
What is the difference between a natural beginning and the beginning of a story? Some deny that there are any beginnings in nature, except perhaps for the origin of the universe itself, suggesting that elsewhere we have only a continuum of events, into which beginnings are variously `read’ by different societies. This book argues that history is full of real beginnings but that poets and novelists are indeed free to begin their stories wherever they like. The ancient poet Homer laid down a rule for his successors when he began his epic by plunging in medias res, `into the midst of things’. Later writers, however, persistently play off the `interventionist', in medias res opening against some sense of a `deep’, natural beginning: Genesis or the birth of a child. The author also outlines how the inspiring Muse of epic gives way to the poet’s ego, dies, revives and dies again. Ranging from Greek and Roman epic to the modern novel via Dante, Milton, Wordsworth, Sterne and Dickens, A. D. Nuttall has written an ambitious and original book which will be of interest to a wide variety of readers.
Samuel Beckett’s Theatre
Authors: Worth Katharine 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this uniquely personal account of Samuel Beckett's theatre, Katharine Worth draws on a wealth of remarkable material - her own work producing and directing productions of Beckett's plays, often with leading actors such as Patrick Magee, but also with students; the experience of watching other productions; her successful adaptation of Beckett's novella, Company, for the stage; and conversations and correspondence with Beckett himself. The book focuses on the power that Beckett's theatre has to fascinate us with the ordinary small experiences of life as well as its great mysteries. The strange life-journeys taken on his stage are seen to be the universal journey; the endless story-telling about it a process we all engage in. The critical discussion highlights the unique fusion on Beckett's stage of cosmic scenery and humorous individualism. It takes in at one end influential forerunners such as Maeterlinck, Yeats, and Dickens and at the other the lively contemporary performances, sometimes controversial, that testify to the enduring human appeal and magnetism of Beckett's plays and stage fiction.
Poems (1935)
Authors: McDonald Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It was MacNeice himself who asserted that ‘the best English poets have been those most successfully determined by their context’, going on to claim that (in 1935) ‘The English context is now more congenial to poets than it has been for a long time.’ While this alone is enough to suggest that isolating the poet from the literary/political milieu of England in the r 93os is something of a distortion, it must be qualified by what MacNeice wrote earlier in the same essay, that ‘the generalisations so often offered by poets themselves we must accept only as dramatic; they are not scientific rules but are merely a moment in the context of the poet’s life and work, just as one character in a play can give the lie to another character’.
From Jonson To Mil Ton: Elegies 1603—1638
Authors: Kay Dennis 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Henry’s court had attracted men of diverse ages and interests. With its dissolution, those elements, once held together by the hopes reposed in the Prince, were scattered forever. Henry’s death provided new—and to many conclusive—evidence that the world was speeding to its end, and fragmenting as it did so. After that event, there would never again be an occasion when so many writers addressed their minds and wits to a common subject: nor indeed would there be again such a wide range of options for the elegist to choose from. The increasingly self-conscious politicization of literary discourse during the reigns of James I and Charles I had as an incidental consequence the effect of turning the elegy into a highly political genre, one where the poet’s choice of mode was an expression of political view, and where, under the veil of literary commentary, political and religious points might be made more or less obliquely.
Hopkins
Authors: White Norman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
`To seem the stranger lies my lot, my life/Among strangers': so begins one of the darkest and most overtly autobiographical of Hopkins's poems, written in Ireland a few years before his death. In this major new biography, more deeply researched, fully documented, and comprehensive than any before it, Norman White uses the intimate evidence of the poems, letters, and journals, his personal knowledge of the places where Hopkins lived, and all surviving documentary records, to explore the life of the priest-poet who constantly felt himself `the stranger' in his world. It was more than just the enforced restlessness of his life following his conversion and the decision at twenty-four to become a Jesuit - though Hopkins’s writings again and again reveal his responsiveness to place, and his poignant sense of having no true home. His inner life was also an unresolved search for answers to his own difficult temperament: a series of crises, in fact, to which his responses were typically extreme, and ultimately unsatisfying. His vivid apprehension of beauty and particularity - in language, in the characters of men, in natural things, in what he perceived as the nature of Christ - was fuelled as much by longing as by calm assurance of belief. It is just this that makes him a supreme poet not only of nature but of the religious condition: the experience of both faith and despair. Norman White investigates Hopkins’s background and Oxford student life, and the Roman Catholic world which he entered, carefully and without prejudgements, setting his development and the movement of his thought against the background of Victorian England. The turmoil of Hopkins's strange personality, which often militated against his chances of happiness and success, is fully explored, as is the effect of his austere profession on his highly original writings - the journals and poems that are among the most remarkable works of literature in the English language.
