(Un)doing Fieldwork Sharing Songs, Sharing Lives
Authors: Kisliuk Michelle 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the ethnography of musical performance we are particularly challenged, as writers, to present or re-present the experiential since performance is experience. The project of aligning form and content—writing and experience—is one way in which a focus on field research is reshaping ethnography. One might argue that all ethnography be considered ethnography of performance, since culture itself is at some level inevitably enacted. But the relative specificity of music, while always embedded in and enabled by other performance modes, can provide a heightened example of performance processes. A focus on the ethnography of musical performance—overdue in the ethnographic arena—can suggest incisive ways of researching, writing about, and understanding cultural processes.
From Contumacy to Shame: Reading Beckett’s Testimonies with Agamben
Authors: Jones David Houston 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
What interests Giorgio Agamben above all in his groundbreaking account of testimony in Remnants of Auschwitz is the juxtaposition of the sayable and the unsayable, and in particular the inscription of the unsayable within the sayable: “in opposition to the archive, which designates the system of relations between the unsaid and the said, we give the name testimony to the system of relations between the inside and outside of langue, between the sayable and the unsayable in every language” (145).
Projections: Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape and Not I as Autobiographies
Authors: Locatelli Carla 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The worldwide celebrations of an empirical author usually identified as the flesh-and-blood Samuel Barclay Beckett—born in Cooldrinagh, Ireland, in 1906—bring to the fore concerns about the auto- biographical aspects of his work. Beckett’s centenary prompts me to reflect on the status of autobiography in the Beckett canon within a framework that builds on the latest epistemological considerations about autobiographical reading and honors the antilyrical stakes set forth in Beckett’s works.
“I Am Not a Philosopher”
Authors: Abbott H Porter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The question i am addressing in this essay does not have to do with Beckett’s extensive and deeply engaged reading of philosophy. And only by indirection does it have to do with the multitude of philosophical issues that are at stake in his work and that were clearly inflected by his reading. This is ground that has been covered so extensively and so ably by others that I have little chance of improving on their insights.
Beckett’s Romanticism
Authors: Brater Enoch 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Beckett Centenary offers us the rare opportunity to consider not only the richness of his literary legacy but also the dynamics of the daunting critical response to his work. As the present volume illustrates, that work itself has proved to be remarkably resilient, surviving at long last the onslaught of the new critics with their careful and ingenious close readings; the ambitious poststructuralists who followed in their wake; scrupulous biographers and others much less so; intertextualists, postmodernists, formalists, feminists; historicists both old and new; as well as other well-trained theorists inspired by nothing less than wholesale de- construction (a note of caution here: even a bold thinker like Herbert Blau wondered if it was finally possible to deconstruct Beckett, the Frenchified Irishman posing as some sort of Jacques Derrida avant la lettre—or more likely, especially to my way of thinking, it’s the other way around).
Beckett’s Theater: Embodying Alterity
Authors: Mcmullan Anna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The national and international celebrations throughout 2006 in honor of the centenary of Samuel Beckett’s birth have confirmed his status as a global cultural figure. In a trajectory illustrative of Pascale Casa- nova’s paradigm of the minority writer who leaves the limited literary field of his native country and installs himself in the literary metro pole, Beckett left Dublin in 1937 to settle in Paris until his death in 1989. He continually crossed linguistic borders through his wide multilingual reading as a student of modern languages at Trinity College Dublin, his translations of Mexican poetry,2 his theatrical directing in Germany, and, of course, his bilingual writing and self-translation.
Re-Figuring the Stage Body through the Mechanical Re-Production of Memory
Authors: Rodríguez-Gago Antonia 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Samuel Beckett’S Krapp’s Last Tape has been read in numerous ways, most often as a parody of Proust’s ideas on the workings of involuntary memory, demonstrating the impossibility of recovering the past, even when memories have been mechanically archived on magnetic tape; or as a paradigm of the Cartesian dualism analyzed through binary images of mind/body, spirit/flesh, change/changelessness. In this essay I will discuss the play from a different point of view: the relationship established between the stage figure of Krapp and the recorded voice of memory, particularly the process of the protagonist’s creation, that is, how Beckett re-figures in performance the protagonist’s body through the mechanical reproduction of memory.
Words and Music, . . . but the clouds . . ., and Yeats’s “The Tower”
Authors: Okamuro Minako 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Words And Music (1962) contains no direct reference to William Butler Yeats, but some hints of the poet and his works can be found in its language. The radio play has three characters, if we can call them “characters”: Words called Joe, Music called Bob, and their master, Croak. At the beginning, Croak requests forgiveness from Words and Music for his belated arrival, saying: “Be friends! [Pause.] I am late, forgive. [Pause.] The face. [Pause.] On the stairs. [Pause.] Forgive.
Staging Sam: Beckett as Dramatic Character
Authors: Zeifman Hersh 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
On 3 January 1956, Waiting for Godot had its now notorious American premiere at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami. The critical (and, more important, audience) response was mostly baﬄed and dismissive: the play was viewed as incomprehensible, an Irish/Gallic hoax. When Godot opened on Broadway later that spring, its producers were so desperate for an audience that they were reduced to advertising for “seventy thousand intellectuals” (Knowlson 350); only intellectuals, it seems, could appreciate such an abstruse and deeply enigmatic work.
The History of Migraine from Hippocrates to Harold Wolff
Authors: Boes Christopher J , Dalessio Donald J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In his superb monograph on migraine published in 1932, Henry Alsop Riley wrote (Riley, 1932): If one should search for the human ill which has manifested itself most widely during all times and among all people, there can be but little doubt that headache would attain this unenviable distinction. It is not surprising, therefore, that one form of this disorder, migraine, perhaps the most baffling and dramatic form of pain in the head should have acquired recognition as a definite symptom-complex early in medical history. (p. 429) A student of the history of medicine quickly realizes that much has been written about migraine over the centuries, partly because many physicians and scientists have suffered from the ailment. For example, John Hughlings Jackson, considered the father of English neurology, once told a younger colleague who had approached him: “Stop! I am just observing my migraine” (Critchley and Critchley, 1998).
Pathophysiology of Aura
Authors: Eikermann-Haerter Katharina , Moskowitz Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Among the more typical forms of migraine headache, migraine with aura is the best studied and arguably the best understood. Migraine aura is common, affecting up to 5% of the adult population (Agostoni and Aliprandi, 2006). Migraine aura is associated with neurologic symptoms that often spread over a characteristic time frame and in most cases precede the development of a migraine-like headache. Ninety-nine percent of aura patients experience visual phenomenon in at least some attacks, whereas 54% and 32% describe sensory and/or aphasic aura, respectively (Kirchmann, 2006). If more than a single symptom develops, the auras tend to occur in succession; almost all individuals describe symptoms of visual aura. Positive symptoms (shimmering lights, zigzagging line, or paresthesia) are sometimes followed by negative symptoms, such as a scotoma or numbness.
Genetics of Primary Headache
Authors: Ferrari Michel D , Dichgans Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Recent advances in genetics have started to transform our understanding of primary headaches. There is increasing evidence for a genetic component to cluster headache (CH) and tension-type headache (TTH). However, the greatest breakthroughs have occurred in the area of migraine, a dynamic field in which data are rapidly accumulating. In this chapter, we discuss key findings and recent developments in genetic epidemiology, monogenic disorders, knock-in mouse models, and complex multifactorial genetics. Migraine often runs in families (Kors et al., 2004). Population-based studies have confirmed that the risk of migraine in first-degree relatives is increased 1.5–4-fold. The familial risk appeared greatest for patients with migraine with aura, with a young age at onset, and a high attack severity and disease disability (Russell and Olesen, 1995; Stewart et al., 1997; Stewart et al., 2006).
Migraine Treatment
Authors: Silberstein Stephen D , Freitag, Frederick G , Bigal Marcelo E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Migraine is a chronic neurologic disease characterized by episodic attacks of headache and associated symptoms (Headache Classification Committee, 2004). In U.S. population studies, migraine prevalence is approximately 18% in women and 6% in men (Lipton and Silberstein, 2001; Lipton et al., 2001, 2007). Approximately 90% of migraine sufferers have moderate or severe pain. Three-quarters of migraineurs have a reduced ability to function and one-third require bed rest during their attacks (Lipton et al., 2001; Lipton et al., 2007). Therefore, effective treatments and treatment strategies play a critical role in reducing the disability, burden, and cost of care for these patients (Matchar et al., 2000). This chapter relied on the triptan meta-analysis (Ferrari et al., 2001), the Technical Reports of the Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research (Goslin et al., 1999; Gray, Goslin, et al., 1999; Gray et al., 1999b, 1999c), U.S. Headache Consortium Guidelines (Ramadan et al., 1999; Matchar et al., 2000), and the recent update of the headache guidelines (SDS in future press).
Headaches Associated with Vascular Disorder(D)
Authors: Diener Hans-Christoph , Dodick David W 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Many vascular disorders of the brain present with headache as the leading or an important symptom. Headache in vascular conditions presents acutely and with neurological signs and symptoms. The temporal relationship between the onset of headache and neurological symptoms and signs helps to make the correct diagnosis. In most vascular disorders such as ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, headache is overshadowed by focal signs or overlooked because of disorders of consciousness. In conditions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or arteritis, headache is usually the most prominent symptom. In a number of other diseases that may lead to both headache and stroke [dissection, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), and temporal arteritis] headache is often an initial warning symptom. It is therefore crucial to recognise the association of headache with these vascular disorders to initiate appropriate treatment.
Giant Cell Arteritis and Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Authors: Schwedt Todd J , Hunder, Gene G , Dodick David W 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Headache is the most common presenting symptom of giant cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA) in an elderly patient (Hollenhorst et al., 1960; Caselli, Daube, et al., 1988). Headache is a prominent symptom in approximately 70% of patients, and the initial symptom in one-third of patients (Caselli, Daube, et al., 1988). The headache itself may be clinically nonspecific, but it generally represents a new symptom in patients who do not have a history of prior headaches, or a different type of headache in patients with a preexisting history of headache. It is characteristically throbbing, continuous, and focally worst in the temporal or, less often, occipital region. Many patients may have swollen, erythematous, and painful superficial temporal arteries (Fig. 26–1). An elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein (CRP) can provide a timely diagnosis and guide early treatment, and the diagnosis can be subsequently confirmed with a temporal artery biopsy (TAB). Corticosteroid therapy generally produces symptomatic relief within days. Despite commensurate normalization of the ESR and CRP, active vasculitis probably continues for at least several weeks. GCA can also involve the aortic arch and its branches, resulting in a wide variety of vascular complications; therefore, prompt diagnosis and treatment are imperative.
Sappho Of Lesbos
Authors: Powell Jim 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Sappho’s poetry made her famous throughout the ancient Greek world, probably within her lifetime. Soon, like the medieval French poet François Villon, she became a subject of legend and figured later as a character in comedy. Surviving biographical facts are few and are transmitted to us mixed up with the lore of fables and with bits of dramatic fiction.* Sappho was born on Lesbos around 630 b.c., probably in the town of Eresos, but spent most of her life in Mytilene, the most important of the island’s five cities. Her mother’s name was Kleïs; her father’s name may have been Skamandronymos. She was orphaned at the age of six. Her family was socially prominent and politically active. Lesbos was settled by Aeolic Greeks in the eleventh century b.c. In Sappho’s time, five generations after Homer, it had a flourishing economic, religious, and artistic culture, connections throughout the eastern Mediterranean, and a vibrant local poetic tradition of long- standing and wide fame.
Probestück
Authors: Kramer Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Probestück: a test-piece, a demonstration of the performer’s skill, of the composer’s Kunst. What the word denotes extends beyond the notion of mere display to the cognitive process of learning—of a skill acquired in the performance of the piece, of idiomatic practices encoded in its notation, and the understanding of the work as an exemplar of composition, of style, of genre. Beyond these more conventional meanings is another, less commonly met, which reveals itself to the critical mind in the presence of a work that probes the frontiers of meaning: Probestück as a test of mind, of Geist.
Opus 90: In Search of Emanuel Bach
Authors: Kramer Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There comes a moment, we would like to believe, when Beethoven turns away from the struggle—for him, the defining struggle—to move beyond Mozart, beyond the dialectics of the Revolutionary years, toward something other. To specify such a moment as a turn, an inflection, in some other direction, seems to me helpful in setting a convincing context for Beethoven’s increasingly focused investigations of earlier (and still earlier) music during a relatively silent patch that begins around 1812.
Lisch aus, mein Licht: Song, Fugue, and the Symptoms of a Late Style
Authors: Kramer Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“Mit inniger Empfindung, doch entschlossen, wohl akzentuirt u. sprechend vorgetr[agen]”: with intimate feeling, yet resolutely, well accented, and sung as though spoken. Beethoven inscribed this elaborate instruction on the inside cover of a small notebook—the so-called Boldrini sketchbook—used during the autumn of 1817. Gustav Nottebohm (who described the contents of the book before it vanished shortly after 1890) observed that “inniger” seemed to have been a second thought, added a bit later.
Toward an Epistemology of Fragment
Authors: Kramer Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Behind the shameless pretense of its title, the modest intention of this chapter is to come closer to the disorderly notion of fragment, as the term was employed in the decades close on either side of 1800. Any such theorizing would need to reconcile two extreme conditions of fragment: on the one hand, fragment taken to denote the flawed torso of the work left unfinished; on the other, fragment taken to suggest the Romantic condition toward which even the finished works of those volatile years might aspire.
Walter Benjamin and the Apprehending of Beauty
Authors: Kramer Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“Every perfect work is the death mask of its intuition.” Returning finally to the epigraph that set this book in motion, we are reminded that Walter Benjamin tried out his lapidary thought in January 1924 in one among several letters on art, history and criticism to his intellectual confidant, Florens Christian Rang. And then, as if to exemplify the wisdom of what he wrote, he cleansed it in revision, making it over into something less daring. “The work is the death mask of conception,” he now wrote, as the final entry in “The Writer’s Technique in Thirteen Theses,” in the miscellany published as Einbahnstrasse in 1928. Benjamin draws back now from the extremity of perfection. The mysteries implicit in intuition give place to conception, decidedly less mysterious, more rational.
“The Medical Self ‘: Self-doctoring and Choosing Doctors
Authors: Klitzman Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As their disease progressed, these physicians were finally forced to acknowledge their illness in some way, but had to decide exactly how and to what degree to do so. After all, they could treat themselves, order and interpret their own lab tests, and prescribe medications—choosing drugs, doses, and lengths of treatment. These capabilities could all help. Yet such self-doctoring had limitations.
“Screw-ups”: External Obstacles Faced in Becoming Patients
Authors: Klitzman Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Medical errors occur, yet now, for the first time, many of these physicians became fully aware of, and reflected on, the range of problems and lapses in health care—from fatal flaws to poor communication. They faced challenges, too, in how to respond to these shortfalls, either as patients or as fellow doctors. As patients, they now faced hurdles due not only to their illness and self-doctoring, but also to deficiencies in the wider medical system. They evaluated their treatments as patients from the perspectives of fellow doctors. Lay patients need to be aware of these issues as well—to prepare for these tensions and inform their expectations, even if they do not lessen their hopes for optimal care.
“Once a Doctor, Always a Doctor?”: Retirement
Authors: Klitzman Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“Should I still put the ‘Doctor’ in front of my name or not?” Stuart, who retired to teach, asked me. “Is a doctor always a doctor?” What if he or she retires, or no longer sees patients? Does his or her identity then change, and if so, how? Not surprisingly, the possibility of retirement and disability posed these dilemmas. Many of these doctors were not sure when and how to alter or reduce their professional schedules. Inevitably, despite efforts to cope, some contemplated and/or chose retirement, and then had to decide if they were still in fact “physicians.”
Vasubandhu’s Trisvabhāvanirdeśa (Treatise on the Three Natures)
Authors: Garfield Jay L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Trisvabhā vanirdeśa (Rang bzhin gsum nges par bstan pa) is one of Vasubandhu’s short treatises (the others being the Treatise in Twenty Stanzas [Vi satikā ] and the Treatise in Thirty Stanzas [Tri śikā kirikā]) expounding his Cittamātra, or mind-only philosophy. Vasubandhu and his older brother Asa ga are regarded as the founders and principal exponents of this Buddhist idealist school, which developed in the fourth or fifth century C.E. as the major philosophical rival within the Mahāyāna Buddhist tradition to the older Madhyamaka tradition. The latter school, founded by Nāgārjuna, urges the emptiness—the lack of essence or substantial, independent reality—of all things, including both external phenomena and mind. Vasubandhu, however, reinterprets the emptiness of the object as being its lack of external reality, and its purely mind-dependent, or ideal, status. At the same time, however, he argues that the foundational mind is nonempty since it truly exists as the substratum of the apparent reality represented in our experience. The position is hence a kind of idealism akin to, but different in important ways from, the idealisms defended by such Western philosophers as Berkeley, Kant, and Schopenhauer.
Dōgen’s “Mountains and Waters as Sū tras” (Sansui-kyō )
Authors: Parkes Graham 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This poetic and profound chapter of Dōgen’s (1200–53) Shōbō genzō was first delivered as a lecture in the year 1240.The title—Sansui (literally: “mountains waters”) means “landscape” and Kyō refers to the scriptures of the Buddha’s oral teachings—expresses a central idea in Japanese Buddhist philosophy: that the natural world can be experienced and understood both as a spiritual sermon and sacred scripture, as a spoken and written expression of the Buddhist teachings. Some background may render this more understandable.
Vasubandhu’s Abhidharmakósa: The Critique of the Soul
Authors: Goodman Charles 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Chapter 9 of Vasubandhu’s Abhidharmakośa (c. fourth/fifth century C.E.) examines the nature of the person and seeks to refute the view that the essence of each person is a real, ultimately existing self. After criticizing the position of the Pudgalavādins, as in the selection translated in the previous chapter, Vasubandhu proceeds at the end of the chapter to consider those Indian philosophers who unapologetically defend the existence of the ā tman. This Sanskrit term can simply mean “self,” but here it refers more specifically to an immortal soul, the owner of a body and of mental states, and the subject of experiences of happiness and suffering. The stakes in the debate about the existence of the soul are quite high: according to Vasubandhu, spiritual seekers cannot attain liberation as long as they accept the existence of the soul. Liberation can be achieved only by completely eradicating all forms of belief in a self.
Thich Nhat Hanh’s Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism
Authors: Edelglass William 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Some critics claim that the Buddhist emphasis on liberation from samsara, the cycle of birth and suffering, has been accompanied by a neglect of worldly liberation. Moreover, critics charge, Buddhists have no deep motivation to work for social justice; in a world governed by the universal justice of karma, there are no innocent victims. The law of karma is said to justify the status quo because worldly suffering is recognized as the inevitable ripening of karmic consequences. While scholars debate the historical accuracy of this critique, many contemporary Buddhist leaders, in Asia and in the West, have been working to formulate Buddhist responses to worldly suffering. Engaged Buddhists argue that social and institutional violence, though veiled, is often pervasive and difficult to subvert, even as it causes extensive and extreme suffering. Therefore, Buddhists, who have always been concerned with suffering and violence, are called to take action against social and institutional oppression and injustice. As the Dalai Lama argues, we have a “universal responsibility.”
