Goofing on Elvis
Authors: Schonfeld Zach 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
David Lynch’s Wild at Heart—starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern as an outlaw couple adrift in a world of sex and violence—contains one of Cage’s most polarizing performances to date, both delighting and horrifying audiences at Cannes. Drawing on a new interview with Lynch, this chapter examines every facet of Cage’s performance in Wild at Heart, from his unbridled sexuality to his lively chemistry with Dern to his overt channeling of Elvis Presley—one of Cage’s foremost influences—into a collage-like performance that pulls freely from American icons. The chapter considers how the Elvis motif fits into Lynch’s corrupted Americana and, more broadly, how singing fits into Cage’s surrealistic style of acting. This chapter also delves into the making of Zandalee, the largely forgotten erotic thriller Cage made shortly after Wild at Heart, and argues that Wild at Heart and Zandalee complement each other, both artifacts of an era in which Cage was pushing himself toward shockingly frank, visceral expressions of sexual desire. In Wild at Heart, sexuality is a respite from ruthless violence; in Zandalee, it is the cause of violence.
Drunk in Love
Authors: Schonfeld Zach 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Drawing on new interviews with filmmaker Mike Figgis and actress Elisabeth Shue, among other sources, this chapter examines the making of the 1995 film Leaving Las Vegas, with a focus on Nicolas Cage’s Oscar-winning performance as a suicidal alcoholic. The chapter explores Cage’s passionate approach to making the film—bringing offbeat additions to the script, hiring an alcoholic family friend to be his “drinking coach” on set, and at one point proposing that he should be drunk throughout the shoot. The chapter also examines the life and death of author John O’Brien, who wrote the novel Leaving Las Vegas, and how aspects of O’Brien’s addiction and dark humor were absorbed into Cage’s performance. This aspect of the chapter draws from a new interview with O’Brien’s sister, Erin O’Brien, who met Cage during the filming of Leaving Las Vegas. Finally, the chapter chronicles how Leaving Las Vegas transcended its humble, low-budget circumstances to become a critical success, with Cage ultimately winning an Oscar at the 68th Academy Awards, a culmination of Cage’s work in independent cinema and his struggle to be taken seriously by the Hollywood establishment despite his jarring creative choices and nepotistic background.
Clinical Health Psychology
Authors: Ballester-Arnal Rafael , Gil-Llario Maria Dolores , Giménez-García Cristina 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Throughout human history, there have been different ways of understanding the relationship between the mind and the body, ultimately giving rise to the biopsychosocial model. This model, together with some changes in the type of the most frequent diseases in society and contributions from other disciplines, is the basis of health psychology. Clinical health psychology has contributed its applied perspective to health promotion and psychological intervention in health-related problems. In just four decades, it has improved the health and quality of life of the population. This chapter analyzes its foundations and the steps that led to the birth and constitution of this subdiscipline. It also discusses future directions for clinical health psychology.
Private Censorship
Authors: Messina J.P. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Concerns about censorship have once again reached a fever pitch across the liberal West. In other historical periods, such concerns may have marked reactions to book bans and burnings. Often, they followed prosecutions and subsequent jailtime for things spoken or written. During the red scare, they were the hushed response to chilling state-sponsored watch-lists and employer-supported blacklists designed to ensure victory against communism. Against this history, complaints about the new censorship appear different. With respect to the new censorship, there are no books burnings, no prosecutions, no laws or committees. Indeed, there is no coercive state involvement at all. With a few notable exceptions, complaints about censorship in the 21st-century West are complaints about the behavior of private parties: social groups, employers, media conglomerates, social media platforms, and search engines. To better understand the concerns surrounding non-state interference with speech, Private Censorship offers an account of censorship, as well as an assessment of the ethical and political issues it raises across contexts. In addition, the book casts a critical eye on many popular proposals for responding to these complaints. Unlike these popular approaches, Private Censorship foregrounds the importance of rights to property, association, and free expression.
The “Old” Media: Censorship and Press Freedom
Authors: Messina J.P. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
“The ‘Old’ Media: Censorship and Press Freedom” marks the beginning of a series of chapters that emphasize institutional questions. It begins by distinguishing media censorship from the ordinary exercise of editorial authority. Editorial authority is (1) crucial for our media environment and yet (2) requires conferring on press outlets the power to censor. Yet the threat of media censorship is best addressed by encouraging pluralism in the funding of media and harnessing new technologies to lower the costs of bringing the news to local communities. Despite widespread dissatisfaction with the news media, our reliance on legacy outlets indicates an opportunity for converting mere reliance to trust. In addition to being interesting on its own terms, this discussion shows that concerns about our current information environment are not new and provides some clues for how responses to worries about new technologies might go awry.
The “New” (Social) Media
Authors: Messina J.P. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
“The ‘New’ Social Media,” argues that much social media content moderation is well conceived as censorship. As a result, when it fails to meet the effectiveness constraint or targets above-board speech, such moderation is condemnable. Yet to limit platforms’ abilities to deliver different packages of moderation is to decrease their capacity for product differentiation and innovation. Accordingly, it is important to protect platforms’ legal rights and powers to moderate (and eschew radical reform of the legal environment, including Section 230, that makes this possible). The chapter argues that social media companies are better-positioned to police some kinds of speech and worse-positioned to police others. When social platforms moderate in ways that amount to wrongful censorship, the best way to hold them accountable is through market mechanisms like exit and boycott rather than legal sanctions .
(Not So) Final Thoughts
Authors: Messina J.P. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that concerns about private censorship put in sharp relief tensions that have long been at the heart of liberal theory. The easiest way out of these tensions is by curtailing these freedoms by institutional means into a package of liberties less prone to conflicts. But to do this is to increase the risk of systemic failure and to give up besides freedoms that we have reason to value. A better course forward is a program of civic education that emphasizes the duties that we have to use our rights responsibly and to take others’ liberties and interests as citizens and human beings to heart. While this response might appear as neat as the legal solutions that are currently fashionable among technocrats, it is more likely to preserve those aspects of modern life most worth preserving.
Nietzsche's On The Genealogy of Morality
Authors: Welshon Rex 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Since the early 2000s, Nietzsche scholarship has made dramatic progress. Using this recent scholarship to inform its analyses of the Genealogy, the Guide introduces readers to the major arguments found in the Genealogy. And where arguments are left underdeveloped by Nietzsche, the Guide also shows how arguments he develops elsewhere clarify and buttress what he says in the Genealogy. The Guide begins by introducing the reader to Nietzsche’s life, identifying some of his intellectual influences, and tracking his influence on subsequent philosophers, artists, literary critics, social and political thinkers, and moral psychologists. In four longer chapters, the Genealogy’s Preface and three essays are investigated in detail. Each chapter is divided into two parts, the first dedicated to section-by-section examinations of Nietzsche’s claims as they unfold in the book, the second to detailed analyses of the most important, intricate, and perplexing of this arguments. This structure permits readers to remain oriented through the Genealogy’s sometimes uneven development. Nietzsche’s claims having been thus familiarized, the Guide unpacks them in greater detail in each chapter’s discussion section, steering readers through other arguments that sometimes lie behind the Genealogy’s arguments and showing how recent scholarship has improved our understanding of its more cryptic claims. Throughout, the Guide strives to remain accessible and avoid technical jargon and to keep Nietzsche’s fascinating, if disturbing, insights into moral evaluation, moral history, and moral psychology front and center. Having read the Guide, readers will be prepared to appreciate the Genealogy’s many merits and identify some of its argumentative gaps.
Introduction
Authors: Welshon Rex 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The introduction fulfills two tasks. First, a discussion of Nietzsche’s writing style serves notice that readers accustomed to formal, detached, and impersonal philosophical writing will be surprised, perhaps disturbed, by Nietzsche’s energetic, chatty, and unreserved style. This style extends to the Genealogy, which is perhaps his most conventionally structured book. Even here, he alerts his readers that each of the Genealogy’s three essays start in ways that are designed to mislead them. This design compels readers to read carefully and reflectively, acknowledging that the Genealogy is only a preliminary element of his larger project of revaluing all values. Second, the introduction summarizes each of the chapters to follow, showing how they are linked to one another and highlighting key claims and arguments.
Introduction
Authors: Cohen Meghan Sobel , Hopkinson Karen McIntyre 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
After discussions of the media environments in the three countries, Chapter 1, an overview and critique of current theories of media systems, highlights how existing frameworks rest on the misguided presumption that nations and their press freedom landscapes exist within a state of linear democratization—that societies have progressed and will continue to progress from non-democracy to democracy—when, in actuality, specific events can unravel structures and derail democracy-building processes. Many existing frameworks are grounded in Western ways of thinking and tend to take a universalistic approach to the press that does not account for transitions and change. Press freedom means different things in different countries and within different contexts, making it difficult for any theory to aptly apply; thus, a more detailed set of considerations for understanding media systems outside of the Western world is needed.
The Battle for Technological Supremacy
Authors: Bradford Anu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chapter 5 shows how the individual vertical battles discussed in Chapter 4 are now evolving into a broader horizontal conflict between the US and China as the two digital powers are fighting for technological supremacy. Over the past few years, the US has taken a number of measures to restrict China’s access to strategic technologies, citing national security concerns. China is responding in kind, imposing extensive export and investment restrictions on US companies. This ongoing rivalry has also fueled a subsidy race as the US and China both seek to shore up to their capabilities in critical technologies such as semiconductors. Other countries, including those in the EU, are also turning to industrial policy in the midst of the growing US–China tensions and unraveling global supply chains. As a result, the tech war risks entrenching techno-nationalism as a global norm. This can be seen as a victory for the Chinese state-driven model as governments are abandoning the US’s vision of an open, free, and global digital economy. The chapter predicts that the US–China conflict is likely to continue, even intensify. But it also shows how deeply intertwined supply chains and commercial pressures in both the US and China are likely to prevent a full decoupling of US and Chinese technological assets. As a result, the horizontal conflict will remain costly, yet will also feature elements of restraint, ultimately denying both satisfactory resolution and averting a complete balkanization of the digital economy.
Exporting China’s Digital Authoritarianism through Infrastructure
Authors: Bradford Anu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chapter 8 turns to examine how China is gaining global influence by building digital infrastructures across the world. Country by country, Chinese tech companies—all with varying ties to the CCP—have built the physical components of digital infrastructures, provided critical telecommunications and e-commerce services, and supplied surveillance technologies along the Digital Silk Road. This chapter shows how Chinese tech companies have made inroads into numerous markets across Asia, Africa, and Latin America and even parts of Europe. China has also gradually assumed control of key positions in relevant international organizations involved in standard setting across technologies, further allowing the Chinese government to entrench its regulatory standards and surveillance practices—and, with that, its values—across the world. Many receiving countries have welcomed Chinese technologies and accompanying regulatory standards as a path toward digital sovereignty and development. For authoritarian governments, an additional motivation has been to gain access to surveillance technologies that they eagerly use toward illiberal ends. The chapter discusses the unease that the US and its allies have regarding the growing sphere of China’s influence yet also acknowledges the difficulties they face in countering that influence.
Conclusion
Authors: Bradford Anu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The conclusion asks whether the American, the Chinese, or the European regulatory model will prevail in their horizontal battles and quest for global influence, while simultaneously examining whether the tech companies or governments will ultimately triumph in their various vertical battles. It predicts that the European rights-driven regulatory model is likely to prevail over the American market-driven model within the democratic world, while the Chinese regulatory model will limit the EU’s ability to entrench its norms and values outside of the democratic world. The EU model is also haunted by the difficulties of enforcing its regulations against powerful tech companies. In this state of the world, the US needs to decide whether to align itself more closely with the European regulatory model. If the US can be convinced that embracing the European rights-driven model will not impede innovation and compromise its technological progress, this choice to emulate the EU model will be easier to embrace. Ultimately, the most compelling argument for closer transatlantic alignment comes from a shared perception that the US and the EU both need to focus on the battle that matters the most: the battle that will be fought over the fate of liberal democracy. That battle will ultimately determine the soul of the digital economy, defining what kind of society we will live in for years and decades to come—a battle that neither the US nor the EU can afford to lose.
Ritual as Cultural Grammar
Authors: Li Chenyang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Li (ritual propriety), a fundamental concept in Confucianism, has been interpreted in various ways. This chapter presents a novel interpretation of li in term of cultural grammar. First, it examines and analyzes textual evidence to clarify the key meanings of li in Confucian philosophy, both on its “hardware” and “software” dimensions. Second, it argues that the role of li in a society is analogous to grammar in a language. Thus, the Confucian concept of li can be understood as cultural grammar. As such, li exists in all cultures, albeit in different forms. The chapter concludes by discussing the significance of li in contemporary society.
Can Sages Be Wrong?
Authors: Li Chenyang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter traces the history of the canonization of Kongzi as an example of sages. It then investigates related debates about the perfection of sages in Chinese history. It argues for the fallibility of the teachings of Confucian sages and contrasts it with strategies for tackling similar issues in monotheistic traditions. This chapter shows that this fallibility of Confucian sages marks a significant difference between Confucianism and monotheistic traditions when it comes to reforming traditions in our times and that the fallibility of Confucian sages allows us to better assess classic texts and to renew Confucianism for contemporary society.
Introduction
Authors: Gleason Christopher M. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This introductory chapter defines polyamory as a subset of intimate or romantic relationship styles that fall under the umbrella of ethical non-monogamy. It details polyamory’s recent popularity, including academic and mainstream interest in the lifestyle. It differentiates polyamory from polygamy, polyandry, and free love and argues that although it shares characteristics with other non-monogamous practices throughout American history, polyamory is a product of the cultural changes that occurred in the twentieth century. It sets polyamory within the larger historical context of the liberation movements of the past century, including the Civil Rights Movement, feminism, and gay liberation and argues that it is primarily a product of the sexual and religious experimentation of the 1960s, later reshaped by the conservative cultural shift of the 1980s.
Partnerships
Authors: Gleason Christopher M. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 argues that polyamory emerged as a coherent set of ideas in the 1990s, as Nearing and Anapol united their efforts and established Loving More Magazine. During that time, their coalition expanded to included bisexual activists and liberal Christians. This chapter traces how its advocates framed polyamory as a superior system of sexual ethics, better suited to the emotional and financial perils of modern society than the traditional nuclear family. To do this, their polyamorous coalition embraced an array of alternative spiritualities, from New Age and neo-Pagan religion to liberal Christianity. They also prohibited casual sex. Despite attempts to garner respectability, polyamorists were castigated on television talk shows as out of touch spiritualists and sexual libertines from the bygone era of the 1960s. Furthermore, polyamory’s rejection of casual sex stoked internal dissention as some factions functioned as moral police and others struggled for greater freedom.
Afterword
Authors: Gleason Christopher M. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The afterword argues that despite polyamory’s growing popularity, the legal future of polyamory is unclear. It considers that the passing of polyamory’s founding generation, such as Deborah Anapol and Morning Glory Zell, coincided with a waning of polyamory’s spiritualist heritage. Yet that change has opened polyamory to a larger demographic of young Americans who are increasingly open to different forms of ethical non-monogamy. It also considers the implications of Obergefell v. Hodges and argues that the decision does not have a clear implication for the future of multipartner relationships. It argues that this may not matter since many polyamorists are content to keep their relationships private. Meanwhile experts, such as evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller, have regarded polyamory as a legitimate and healthy lifestyle. It ends by arguing that polyamory is no longer practiced primarily by affluent white Americans but has recently been taken up by minority communities, such as BlackandPoly, as a means for revolutionary social change.
Jayne County, Laura Jane Grace, and the HerStory of Transgender Punks in America
Authors: Fournier Karen 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The recent proliferation of memoirs by female punk musicians has contributed to our understanding of female experiences in a subculture whose history has historically been recounted from the perspective of its male participants. Claims that punk histories are enriched by female voices that have been largely absent, while true, reinforce a gender binary that excludes other important voices from punk’s historical narrative. This chapter explores the contributions to, and challenges faced within, the American punk subculture by two transgender participants whose careers are separated by more than three decades. In her autobiography, the punk pioneer Jayne County recounts how her career was stymied in the 1970s because of her transgender identity, while Laura Jane Grace’s memoir exposes the lingering stigma that she felt within the subculture when she transitioned in 2012. Comparisons between these two accounts of punk raise important questions about inclusion and diversity in a subculture whose DIY ethos purports to empower and embrace all potential participants.
The Art of Performing Authenticity
Authors: Medeiros Beatriz A. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter presents the discussion around the performance of authenticity in the writing of Amanda Palmer’s memoir. Palmer engages trust as a symbolic capital that connects her with her fan base by negotiating notions of truth, legitimization, and intimacy. In The Art of Asking: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let Other People Help, the musician builds a coherent self-narrative to overthrow contradictions and, hence, maintain strong bonds with the public. Palmer employs two processes that, at first, seem to come from opposed spheres: performance and authenticity. By showing parts of her intimacy, she shapes the construction of trust, resulting in her proximity with her fan base, legitimizing her work’s credibility, and negotiating her truth in the self-narrative. Performing authenticity, in these terms, is a strategy that appears in Palmer’s writing style, and that makes it possible for her to maintain the fidelity of a group of people.
Power in the Eye of the Beholder
Authors: Hellín Silvia Hernández 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Female rock memoirists tend to follow the celebrity autobiography practice of illustrating their accounts with career-related photographs of themselves and their lives. Patti Smith, Viv Albertine, and Liz Phair, however, choose to replace these images with pictures taken by themselves of other people, places, and objects. In an act of empowerment, these three women place themselves behind the camera, no longer being relegated to the position of objects, but (re)presenting themselves as artistic subjects. Through these works that go beyond the mere autobiographical act, Smith, Albertine, and Phair thus take full control not only of their narratives but also of their image while raising questions about the boundaries between fact and fiction, the faultiness of memory, or the need to contextualize images.
