“I Am by Now Accustomed to Flashbacks”
Authors: Kammen Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1956, soon after Fred Allen died, Clifton Fadiman devoted one of his “Conversation” programs on NBC radio to a discussion he had recorded (but never previously played) in which he and Seldes interviewed Allen, a comedian they both very much admired. At one point in the program Fadiman turned to Seldes and asked him whether he would live his life differently if he had the opportunity. “You’ve done half a dozen things,” Fadiman noted. “Do you regret having done any of them in the sense that you feel you’ve wasted your time and would rather have filled your time with some other kind of work?” Later in the broadcast Seldes remarked that many immigrants had come to the United States saying, “I will take a chance and I will start again”; but Seldes did not yearn for a different career—only for wiser financial management.
Recuperating Agents: Narrative Contracts, Emancipatory Readers, and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
Authors: Kaplan Carla 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this often-noted concluding line, Harriet Jacobs’s narrator, Linda Brent, rejects the marriage contract and, more generally, the conventions regulating women’s lives and literature. By opposing freedom and marriage she undermines the nineteenth-century ideology of marriage as woman’s “sacred absolute,” the means of her personal fulfillment and the proper end of her life. By suggesting, moreover, that freedom does not have the “usual” meaning for black slave women that it has for free white women, she challenges us to think about freedom and agency as specific and contextual, not as abstract and universal, to think about freedom, as she puts it, “not in the usual way.”
But what would it mean for us to think about freedom or agency “not in the usual way”? Brent’s “freedom” at the end of the narrative is complex and ambiguous. Although “free”—“as free from the power of slaveholders as are the white people of the north” (201)—she remains unfulfilled. “The dream of my life is not yet realized,” she writes (201). “I do not sit with my children in a home of my own. I still long for a hearthstone of my own, however humble” (201).
Prey-Predator Interactions
Authors: Zahavi Amotz Avishag 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Babblers move around their territory during the day, looking for food on the ground among the desert trees and bushes. One of the group often perches on a treetop, acting as sentinel. When the sentinel, or any other babbler, sees a bird of prey, or raptor, in the distance, it emits a loud “bark.” Upon hearing such barks, babblers often raise their heads and scan the sky. If the raptor is far away and does not pose any immediate danger to the feeding group, they go on searching for food. But when an abrupt, frightened bark indicates imminent danger, the birds, including the sentinel, immediately jump for cover. Often, however, precisely after such a fright, the entire group goes up to the top of the tree in which they have taken shelter and joins the sentinel in barking and calling loudly. In most studies of animal behavior such vocalizations are classified as warning calls, issued by animals to others of their species. That idea has a certain superficial plausibility. But years of observation raised so many puzzling questions that we finally dared ask ourselves whether the calls were indeed meant as warnings. The barks ring out before the raptor has had any chance to notice the group or pose any danger to it.
Vocalizations
Authors: Zahavi Amotz Avishag 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Many animals make decisions based on information they get from the vocalizations of others-their mates, their collaborators, their rivals, members of other species. What is it that leads individuals to trust information they get from others’ voices? And why isn’t vocalization used to mislead hearers? It would seem easy to cheat by vocalization; yet observations and studies show that calls usually convey reliably the intentions of the callers. Dog and cat owners can often predict their pets’ behavior by listening to them, and we don’t know of any case in which a dog tried to mislead by using its voice.
Theorizing Communication
Authors: Schiller Dan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is the first book to offer a detailed intellectual history of communication study over the last century. Schiller looks at the relationship between early communication theory and contextualizing social and economic changes, and finds that the evolving dualism between intellectual and manual labour became deeply embedded in the work of theorists, even into our own time. Close attention is paid to leading thinkers in the field, including John Dewey, C. Wright Mills, Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, and Daniel Bell.
Bioethics As a Discourse
Authors: Jonsen Albert R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Bioethics does not belong to the bioethicists who worry about its disciplinary status. From its beginnings, bioethics has gotten people talking. It is public discourse carried on by many people in many settings. We opened the history of American bioethics with a walk through a decade of conferences in which savants exposed their problems of conscience about the new biology and medicine. We stopped in at the founding of two centers at which the conversations of those conferences were perennialized. We listened as government panels debated about how to convert those conversations into public policy and regulations. The early bioethicists called for wide public discussion about the ethical goals of medicine and science, and that discussion has taken place.
Confidentiality in Surgical Practice
Authors: Marshall Mary Faith , Iii C D Smith 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A famous actor was recently admitted to a university teaching hospital following a tragic and traumatic accident. Once the injury was surgically stabilized, the patient was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit in serious condition. From the outset, it was clear that the patient would undergo a lengthy hospitalization. The actor’s popularity and the dramatic nature of the injury fostered immediate worldwide attention. Concern for the patient’s privacy was focused both externally, on the news media, and internally, on medical center personnel. The medical center’s public relations offlce galvanized itself for an intense and protracted relationship with the news media. Disclosure of information would be guided by the preferences of the patient and family. The patient’s surgeon would be the sole spokesperson for the medical center. The patient was assigned an alias in keeping with medical center procedure for protecting the privacy of well-known patients. Acknowledging that even this safeguard may not guarantee the privacy of the electronic medical record, hospital administrators activated their recently purchased security audit system. They registered every instance of electronic access to the patient’s electronic record. Each person who accessed the record subsequently received a letter from the medical center’s chief administrator asking for a rationale for that person’s ‘‘need to know’’ information about the patient. Most instances of access were legitimate. Some were not. Clearly, medical center staff and faculty had pried into the patient’s
Emergency Patients: Serious Moral Choices with Limited Time, Information, and Patient Participation
Authors: Mattox Kenneth L , Engelhardt H Tristram 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Emergency surgical patients are those who appear to require immediate or nearly immediate intervention to save life, limb, or major health interests. A traditional assumption in surgical practice has been that emergency surgical patients should be provided rapid management at whatever level of intervention the surgeon reasonably thinks is required to preserve their lives or protect them from a serious compromise to their prior health status. This assumption is based on three further considerations: (1) the general life-preserving orientation of medicine, (2) the belief that most patients would want their lives and health protected when they are in emergency situations in which there also is no time for an adequate consent process, and (3) reductions in mortality and the protection of significant health interests are generally worth the risk of compromises to health or quality of life that may result from aggressive surgical management. The actual moral content of these assumptions can only be fleshed out in particular communities within particular societies and will under different circumstances have different expressions in law and policy. This chapter explores these assumptions, selecting moral themes generally salient in American health care law, public policy, and medical ethics.
Nationalism and Modernity
Authors: Taylor Charles 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Nationalism is much talked about these days. I suppose it’s obvious why. The postcommunist massacres in the ex-Soviet Union and ex-Yugoslavia are reason enough. And suddenly this kind of frightening outburst seems in danger of becoming more the rule than the exception. For some people this is all the more shocking in that it seems like a throwback. The Bosnian savagery comes across to these people as an atavistic return, as though primeval identities and ageless mutual hatreds were being resurrected at the end of the twentieth century. But this can’t be quite the right take on things, because so much in nationalism is quintessentially modern. The Serb-Croat wars disconcert us because they mix an unquestionably modern discourse—self-determination, rule by the people, et cetera with other elements that seem to us alien to (what we understand as) modernity.
Nationalism and the Limits of Global Humanism
Authors: Nathanson Stephen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Can nationalism be good? Many people think not. They link nationalism with violence, hatred, racism, and xenophobia. These links are not just the products of overheated imaginations or paranoiac worries. They are real, and they make it easy to see why some people reject all forms of nationalism as immoral, illegitimate, and undesirable.
Pro Patria Mori!
Authors: Tamir Yael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The awareness of death, says Heidegger, confers upon human beings a sense of their individuality: “Dying is one thing no one can do for you; each of us must die alone:’1 Yet death—the commemoration and veneration of the dead, the fear of death—plays a major role in political life; it is used to strengthen communality, to build a collective identity, and to define communal obligations. The central role that the tomb of the unknown soldier plays in national ceremonies can serve to illustrate this phenomenon. By its very nature, this tomb is meant not to commemorate a particular person but to promote an ideal of a soldier, our soldier as, although his personal identity is unknown, his communal identity is certain; he is a fellow citizen. And as he has performed the ultimate act of sacrifice, he has become the perfect fellow citizen. All his flaws are forgiven, as his “good action has blotted out the bad, and his merit as a citizen more than outweighed his demerits as an individual:’
Subordinate Theme
Authors: Caplin William E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To avoid tonal monotony, almost eve1y movement of a classical instrumental work establishes a subsidiary tonal area, a subordinate key, that contrasts with, yet is closely related to, the home key.1 One outstanding feature of the classical style (compared with the earlier baroque practice) is the articulation, indeed, the dramatization,2 of this subordinate key through a distinct subordinate theme.3 More than just a new melody, this theme is an integral unit of form containing a syntactical succession of formal functions and a concluding authentic cadence.
Transition
Authors: Caplin William E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At the heart of the tonal drama in the exposition of a full movement form (sonata, concerto, rondo, etc.) lies the conflict between the home key and its rival subordinate key. The formal functions of main theme and subordinate theme are responsible for. establishing and confirming these tonalities. Standing between these functions is the transition, which serves to destabilize the home key so that the subordinate key can emerge as a competing tonality in the exposition.1 In addition, the transition loosens the form established by the tight-knit main theme, imparts greater rhythmic continuity and momentum to the movement, and, especially toward its end, liquidates the characteristic melodic-motivic material in order to “clear the stage” for the entrance of the subordinate theme.
Toni Morrison’s Beloved Re-Membering The Body As Historical Text
Authors: Henderson Mae G 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“Things too terrible to relate” were most often the sexual exploitation of slave women by white men. Convention allowed, indeed almost demanded, that these violations be named but not described. Morrison continues, “But most importantly-at least for me-there was no mention of their interior life” ( emphasis added). The writer’s “job”-as Morrison sees it-”becomes how to rip that veil drawn over proceedings too terrible to relate,” to “find and expose a truth about the interior life of people who didn’t write it,” to “fill in the blanks that the slave narratives left, to part the veil that was so frequently drawn,” and, finally, “to implement the stories that [she has] heard” (no-13).
Moral Knowledge and Ethical Character
Authors: Audi Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book presents an ethical theory that uniquely integrates naturalistic and rationalistic elements. Robert Audi develops his theory in four areas: moral epistemology, the metaphysics of ethics, moral psychology, and the foundations of ethics. Comprising both new and published work, the book sets forth a moderate intuitionism, clarifies the relation between reason and motivation, constructs a theory of intrinsic value and its place in moral obligation, and presents a sophisticated account of moral justification. The concluding chapter articulates a new normative framework built from both Kantian and intuitionist elements. Connecting ethics in novel ways to both the theory of value and the philosophy of action, the essays explore topics such as ethical intuition, reason and judgement, and virtue. Audi also considers major views in the history of ethics, including those of Aristotle, Hume, Kant, Mill, Moore, and W. D. Ross, and engages contemporary work on autonomy, responsibility, objectivity, reasons, and other issues. Clear and conceptually rich, this book makes vital reading for students and scholars of ethics.
“What the Devil Does It All Mean?”
Authors: Silver Brian L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The popular image of science is formed primarily by science-based technology. As evidenced by what we buy, what we use, and what we covet, we are a gadget-based civilization. To suggest that the tidal wave of consumer goods is responsible for what has been seen by some as the emptiness at the heart of modern life is facile in the extreme. No other era has had so readily available to it great music, great art, and great literature. Cheap travel, the mass electronic media, and mass publishing have spread the products of the creative arts deeper and wider than at any time in history.
A First Answer To The Skeptic
Authors: Butchvarov Panayot 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The truth is that neither Descartes’s dream-argument nor the skeptic’s gen eral argument it leads to has been answered, yet they concern what pre sumably is the most important question we can ask: Does an external world exist? Philosophy after Descartes was therefore quite justified in concen trating on this question, and thus in according a central status to episte mology. (With Kant being the major exception, the question was usually understood as what I have called the particular question, presumably be cause of the natural belief, which nevertheless I shall argue is mistaken, that what I have called the general question could be answered only as an inference from an answer to the particular question.) Some philosophers disagree with this assessment, but they would have the right to do so only if they had a solution to the problem of skepticism. In fact, they do not even attempt such a solution, sometimes just saying that it is not a genuine problem at all. But they do not explain why it is not a genuine problem, unless we count as explanations aphorisms such as Austin’s and Wittgenstein’s, which are reminiscent of Dr. Johnson’s “refuting” Berkeley by kicking a stone. It seems to remain true that it is a genuine problem and that we have no solution of it.
Our Concept Of Reality
Authors: Butchvarov Panayot 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is striking that, though the skeptic questions the reality of material ob jects, especially of those we perceive, in recent discussions of skepticism there is very little said about what obviously is the crucial concept, that of reality. Instead, we have detailed discussions of the concepts of knowledge, evidence, and justification, as if it mattered little what precisely is that of which we may or may not have knowledge, or make evidentially based or justified judgments about. This was not always the case. For example, as I pointed out in the introduction, Plato in effect undercut the motivation be hind skepticism by denying that the objects of sense perception have real being. In modern philosophy we are also familiar with Berkeley’s view that in the case of the objects of perception to be is to be perceived, whether by oneself or by another, including God. We are also familiar with John Stu art Mill’s view that the reality of a so-called material object is nothing but the permanent possibility of certain sensations. And we know that Heidegger sought an understanding of Being by explicitly denying that it is a being, and hoped for a very special grasp of it, one grounded in an interpretation of time.
Death Takes a Holiday, Sort Of
Authors: Goldberg Vicki 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In eighteenth-century Europe and England, death was everyone’s inti mate acquaintance, constantly on view. Child mortality rates were hideously high. Crowded living in unsanitary conditions, malnutrition, famine, disease, and accidents ensured life’s unpredictability from day to day. Anyone with a little money then died at home, but the poor, who could not spare a hand from work to tend the sick, sent their relatives to hospitals where atrocious care and rampant infection killed them fast (McManners, 1985, p. 33). The body then went home for washing and laying out, so if you missed the dying you still saw, and most likely handled, the dead.
The Growth of Biological Information
Authors: Loewenstein Werner R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We have seen that proteins use mainly weak electromagnetic energies to implement their information transactions and that, as Maxwell demons, they rely on a sharp, 3-4 A transition in their energy fields. This gains them speed in molecular interactions. But there is more in that penchant for weak energies than meets the eye: it actually works to their economic advantage not to use stronger interactions. A little digging into the economic information aspects of the demons’ sleights of hand will bring this into the open.
French Cultural Politics & Music
Authors: Fulcher Jane F 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book argues that French musical meanings and values in the years from 1898 to 1914 are best explained not in terms of contemporary artistic movements, but rather in terms of the political culture, which was undergoing subtle but profound transformation as nationalist leagues enlarged the arena of political action. Applying recent insights from French history, sociology, political anthropology, and literary theory, the book reveals how nationalists used critics, educational institutions, concert series and lectures to disseminate their values through a discourse on French music; and it demonstrates how the Republic and Left responded to this challenge through their own discourses on French musical values. Against this background Fulcher traces the impact of this politicized musical culture on composers such as d’Indy, Charpentier, Magnard, Debussy, and Satie.
Dynamic Fracture In Nanophase Ceramics and Diamond Films: Multimillion Atom Parallel Molecular-Dynamics Simulations
Authors: Omeltchenko Andrey , Tsuruta Kenji , Nakano Aiichiro , Kalia Rajiv , Vashishta Priya 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Molecular dynamics is a powerful simulation tool for studying various properties and phenomena relevant to material science at the microscopic level. Ab initio electronic structure calculations provide the most fundamental description of materials based solely on equations of quantum mechanics without any empirical parameters. However, first-principle molecular dynamics calculations are tractable on modem computers only for system sizes up to atoms. Atomistic simulations that can handle systems containing atoms and also include electronic effects are feasible using the tight-binding molecular-dynamics approach with linear system-size scaling.
Scaling Phenomena In Crack Propagation
Authors: Bouchaud E , Daguier P 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Fracture toughness is an essential property of a material, since it characterises its ability to resist to the propagation of a pre-existing crack. For a given composition, the fracture toughness Kic may vary drastically with the microstructure, and an important goal would be to predict quantitatively this inter-dependence. Furthermore, for some commercial alloys (titanium-based, titanium-based intermetallics, aluminium-based...) there is a strong dispersion of the measured values of KIc, hence a statistical approach is quite necessary, both experimentally and numerically.
The Doe Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative: Challenges and Opportunities for Predictive Materials Simulation Capabilities
Authors: Mailhiot Christian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In response to the unprecedented national security challenges derived from the end of nuclear testing, the Defense Programs of the Department of Energy has developed a long-term strategic plan based on a vigorous Science-Based Stockpile Stewardship (SBSS) program. The main objective of the SBSS program is to ensure confidence in the performance, safety, and reliability of the stockpile on the basis of a fundamental science-based approach. A central element of this approach is the development of predictive, full-physics, full-scale computer simulation tools. As a critical component of the SBSS program, the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) was established to provide the required advances in computer platforms and to enable predictive, physics-based simulation technologies.
Multiscale Modeling of Polycrystalline Covalent Ceramics
Authors: Brenner D W , Shenderova O A , Yang L H , Nazarov A , Romanov A E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Predicting mechanical properties of polycrystalline ceramics requires detailed knowledge of structures, energetics, and stresses at defects such as grain boundaries, triple junctions, and twins. In principle, properties and structures of defects in polycrystalline materials can be accurately calculated at the atomic scale using density functional techniques. In practice, however, first-principles calculations can be extremely compute intensive, especially for defects with long-range stress fields that require many atoms. Defect structures can also be modeled at the atomic scale using analytic potentials.
