Mysticism
Authors: Bulkeley Kelly 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This is the second of three chapters that look at the religious and spiritual qualities of the seven dream journalists. Here the quality of religious mysticism is considered as a defining characteristic of the dream journalists. In contrast to mundane religiosity, which emphasizes here-and-now reality, each of the dream journalists displayed a strong interest in otherworldly realms, altered states of consciousness, and metaphysical adventures. In this way, they can be considered in light of the classic definition of mysticism in William James’s The Varieties of Religious Experience. The mystical qualities of the dream journalists can also be understood in terms of Harvey Whitehouse’s more contemporary “modes of religiosity” theory, as exemplars of the “imagistic mode” of being religious.
Pluralism
Authors: Bulkeley Kelly 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This is the third of three chapters that look at the religious and spiritual qualities of the seven dream journalists. Here the quality of religious pluralism is considered as a defining characteristic of the seven dream journalists. In contrast to monistic religiosity, which emphasizes the supreme unity and authority of one God and one way of relating to the divine, each of the dream journalists displayed a strong interest in alternative perspectives, new ideas, and different voices. In this way, they can be considered in light of William James’s discussion of pluralism in The Pragmatic Method. The chapter ends with reflections on how the absence of any substantive treatment of dreams in James’s The Varieties of Religious Experience gave the author an early inspiration and opportunity to pursue an unexplored path of research.
Empathic Concern
Authors: Batson C. Daniel 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Empathic Concern provides an evidence-based review of developments over the past five decades in our understanding of other-oriented emotion felt for another in need, including the motivational and behavioral consequences of this emotional state. Empathic concern, or empathy for short, is an umbrella term that refers to feelings that may be described as sympathy, compassion, tenderness, and the like. The book considers what empathic concern is (and isn’t), where it comes from, its forms, its motivational consequences, and its importance in interpersonal and intergroup relations. Rather than touting empathic concern as a panacea or castigating it as a problem, the empirical evidence supports a more nuanced view: Empathic concern has potential benefits but also liabilities, and its benefits can be realized only if we recognize and address its liabilities. Programs that have employed empathic concern as a means to improve interpersonal and intergroup relations are described. The hope is that this review will stimulate more theory-based research on the nature and function of empathic concern, and more theory-based applications of what we now know.
Introduction
Authors: Batson C. Daniel 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Empathy has been a subject of controversy in recent years, being touted as a cure for what ails our society by some but castigated as something we should avoid by others. One reason for the very different assessments is that different psychological phenomena have been called empathy. Some scholars and researchers think of empathy as understanding another person’s thoughts and feelings by taking the other’s perspective—putting yourself in the other’s shoes—and feeling as the other feels. This conception is the focus of the controversy. Others think of empathy as feeling for, not feeling as, another in need. Empathy in this second sense has come to be called empathic concern and is the subject of this book, which addresses both what empathic concern is and why it’s important. There is an overview of chapters.
Varieties of Empathic Concern
Authors: Batson C. Daniel 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Varieties of empathic concern include two that are measured by the six-item Empathic Concern Index—sympathy and tenderness—each of which is evoked by a different type of need. Sympathy is evoked by a cared-for other’s current need. Tenderness is evoked by a cared-for other’s vulnerability. Two additional varieties—empathic distress and empathic sadness—are measured by the distress and sadness adjectives in the Emotional Response Scale when the other’s need is a coping/adjustment problem. Empathic anger, although evoked by and motivating action designed to address the cared-for other’s need, is directed toward the person or persons seen as causing the other’s need. What has been called empathic embarrassment doesn’t seem to be a form of empathic concern. Instead, it appears to be a product of one or both of two other psychological states called empathy—emotional contagion and an imagine-self perspective.
Motivational Consequences
Authors: Batson C. Daniel 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Motivational consequences of empathic concern focus on the empathy-altruism hypothesis. This hypothesis states that empathic concern (an other-oriented emotional response elicited by and congruent with the perceived welfare of a person in need) produces altruistic motivation (a motivational state with the ultimate goal of removing the perceived need). Egoistic alternatives claim that removing the need is an instrumental goal on the way to the ultimate goal of one or another self-benefit. Over 30 experiments have tested the empathy-altruism hypothesis against all plausible egoistic alternatives and have provided remarkably consistent support. It seems that, tentatively, this hypothesis should be accepted as true. There are two important qualifiers of the empathy-altruism relationship. First, we don’t feel empathic concern to the same degree for everyone in need. Second, competing concerns can override empathy-induced altruistic motivation. Whether they do depends on their strength relative to the strength of the empathy-induced altruism.
Behavioral Consequences
Authors: Batson C. Daniel 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Interpersonal liabilities for feeling empathic concern can affect close others, strangers in need, and the person feeling empathy: (a) Empathic concern can produce paternalism and dependence. (b) It can inhibit one’s ability to act dispassionately when a cool head is needed. (c) Recognizing the likelihood of feeling empathic concern for another in need (and therefore empathy-induced altruistic motivation) can produce empathy avoidance—an egoistic motive to avoid the empathy-induced altruistic motive. (d) Empathic concern isn’t likely to be evoked by nonpersonalized needs, or abstract needs, or chronic needs. (e) It can lead us to show unfair partiality toward the person for whom it’s felt, which can lead us to hurt the common good in a social dilemma. Further, intrapersonal liabilities for the empathizer include: (f) risk of physical harm and (g) giving ground in conflict situations such as bargaining and negotiation.
Behavioral Consequences
Authors: Batson C. Daniel 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The most frequently mentioned intergroup benefit is that empathic concern can produce more positive attitudes and action toward a stigmatized out-group. Although empathic concern is an interpersonal not intergroup emotion, it offers this benefit when empathy induced for a member of a stigmatized group increases valuing the stigmatized individual’s welfare and then this valuing generalizes to other members of the stigmatized group. Research indicates that this generalization can occur as long as the individual’s membership in the stigmatized group is central to the need for which empathy is induced. Other research suggests that adopting an imagine-self perspective toward a member of a stigmatized group can produce perceptual/cognitive benefits, including reduced stereotyping of the group and more situational attributions for the behavior of out-group members.
Acceptable Activism
Authors: Schwartz Anat 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the popularity of #MeToo in South Korea by tracing feminist activism from the anti–sexual violence movement beginning in 1987 to the #MeToo movement in 2017–2019. Using feminist epistemology, media theory, and fieldwork from 2018–2019, the author argues that by borrowing from the transnational #MeToo movement and its hashtag collectivity, feminist and women’s organizations in South Korea used the momentum of the global #MeToo movement to advance social and political agendas that have been a recurring issue since the 1980s. By examining the role of #MeToo for Korean feminists, the author argues that, organizations and local communities have used #MeToo to bring the long-standing movement against sexual violence to mainstream society. As such, there is a need to bring feminist scholarship on #MeToo and feminist epistemology together. The chapter also briefly attends to the push to frame feminism after 2018 as “post-MeToo.” The author uses social media platforms and feminist lived experiences to argue that #MeToo is not a spontaneous or stand-alone movement, but rather indicative of a new method of doing feminism in South Korea.
The Politics of Dwelling
Authors: Deng Ran 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines how sexual violence against women in East Asia is remembered and reinvented through the visual representation of “comfort women.” More specifically, it discusses how filmic projects serve both as a nationalist and private dwelling for the figure of the “comfort woman,” conflating singular experiences with nationalist rhetorics. While reflecting on two well-received films on the “comfort women” issue in China and South Korea, Twenty-Two (2017) and Spirits’ Homecoming (2016), the author extracts a narrative of #MeToo that undergirds the creative potentials of the two films. While the films show that the redress movement for sexual violence is complicated by the fact that, though representation of the “comfort women” issue is endorsed, the #MeToo movement has been put under attack or censored, this project also identifies a reconfiguration of #MeToo as a radical intervention that builds solidarity between survivors across time and space.
Deer Women Dancing
Authors: Eddy Zoë Antoinette 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores how Indigenous activist-artists have made interventions in the sexual and gender violence crisis that affects Turtle Island (North American) Indigenous communities. Based on ethnographic and archival fieldwork, it argues that Indigenous activist-artists have created a visual language that supports the goals of the #MeToo movement while also opening a uniquely Indigenous space. The author examines three major visual artifacts: the Red Dress, the Jingle Dress Dance/r, and the Red Handprint; these materials—in both their symbolic and physical presence—have helped generate a viral language that counters settler-colonial narratives of sexual and gender violence. This chapter concludes with an examination of Indigenous hashtag activism and how these strategies both intersect with and differentiate themselves from #MeToo. This chapter aims to make further intervention into how Indigenous communities have responded to not only #MeToo, but also the historical and contemporary crisis facing Indigenous communities.
Native Men, Too
Authors: Juárez Nicolás 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Taking up the work of Indigenous feminists and Lacanian psychoanalysis, this chapter argues that settler colonial genocide of Native Americans breaks down normative understandings of masculinity as a protection against gendered violence. As such, it destabilizes the common assumptions and rhetoric behind the #MeToo movement, making it difficult to conceptualize violence against Native American men. In order to demonstrate this, the chapter examines not only the historical construction of masculinity in the context of settler colonialism, but also examines current rates of violence in Native America. Finally, the chapter concludes by examining the poetry of Joy Harjo as offering an alternative set of coordinates to conceptualize the topic of sexual violence and #MeToo.
Ni Una Menos
Authors: Gómez Maricruz 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the Ni Una Menos movement in Argentina, which started in 2015 after a series of gruesome femicides. The chapter will look at the text that was published by the Ni Una Menos movement, Ni Una Menos Amistad Política + Inteligencia Colectiva Documentos y Manifestos 2015/2018, along with recent interviews, documents, and marches by the movement. The Ni Una Menos movement has recognized that in order to combat gender violence it is imperative to address numerous social justice issues with an intersectional approach. Ni Una Menos approaches coalitions via intersectionality and is able to address various issues such as gender violence, Indigenous rights, coloniality, the correlation between economic system and violence, and the legalization of abortion, making it an intersectional movement.
#RageAgainstRape
Authors: Ghimire Asmita , Wright Elizabethada A. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter builds on Chandra Mohanty’s later work, which suggests that “Third World” and “Western” feminists can create solidarity by examining the use of World English in feminists’ protests against sexual harassment and rape across the globe. Focusing specifically on Nepal’s “RageAgainstRape” movement and similar protests in other countries and continents, this chapter considers protest signs and placards written in Global English that allow women from very different contexts to identify with each other, and builds on Suresh Canagarajah’s theories of how people in non-dominant spaces can engage in semiotic reconstruction to adapt dominant languages for their individual needs. The chapter concludes that the examination of these Global English signs reveals two core functions of Global English: (1) the use of Global English makes signs relevant to multiple cultures, and (2) the use of Global English affirms common identities of women across cultures, thus marking the protesters as Global citizens who are together fighting for a better world.
#MeToo and Everyday Sexism in Bangladesh
Authors: Sultana Umme Busra Fateha , Jahan Fariha 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Almost five years after the #MeToo allegation against Harvey Weinstein, this chapter looks back from a feminist point of view to understand the #MeToo situation in Bangladesh. Based on seven in-depth interviews with #MeToo survivors and a journalist, the chapter brings together personal experiences of and responses to #MeToo in the complex sociopolitical, cultural, and feminist context in Bangladesh. Instead of providing a concrete answer on the success or failure of #MeToo in Bangladesh, the chapter rather suggests that although progress is slow, and not many of the offenders were punished or socially ostracized, #MeToo has been successful in leaving a strong message against everyday sexism. #MeToo, from a spark of individual movement, has now transformed to a countrywide movement against sexual violence. Thus, in a non-Western, non-white country like Bangladesh, #MeToo worked through revision rather than replication.
“Smashing Spatial Patriarchy?”
Authors: Prasadika Thilini 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In response to the global #MeToo movement launched in the United States in late 2017, two public initiatives—“16 Days, 16 Stories” by the United Nations Population Fund, Sri Lanka, and #CreateAScene (#සද්දයක්දාන්න, #குரல்எழுப்புவோம் in Sinhala and Tamil vernacular) by the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief, Sri Lanka, and its partners—were launched in 2018 and 2019, respectively. These were aimed at urging the “victims” and bystanders to respond to sexual and verbal harassment in the public transport system in Sri Lanka. This chapter attempts to explore the different sociocultural, economic, and political aspects of these initiatives by exploring: (a) how “16 Days, 16 Stories” and #CreateAScene attempt to (re)define feminist activist interventions in Sri Lanka, particularly in relation to the global #MeToo movement; (b) how these initiatives influences “victims” and bystanders at the intersections of different power hierarchies; and (c) how these initiatives define/mobilize concepts such as consent, autonomy, and the decision-making ability of “victims” and bystanders in Sri Lanka. This research uses a critical feminist studies framework to analyze videos, social media content, and other available campaign material.
#MeToo and the Need for Vegetarian-Feminist Approaches in the Czech Republic
Authors: Kraśna Denisa 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Using Carol J. Adams's feminist-vegetarian critical theory, this chapter analyzes the reception of #MeToo in Czech by examining the responses of powerful authority figures and influential celebrities who allied to oppose #MeToo by employing sexist and speciesist discourse. Dismissive responses to #MeToo underscore the importance of a movement that is adapted to the Czech context. The chapter traces the historical roots of feminism and vegetarianism in Czech and uncovers how their pioneers advocated for the concurrent focus on the liberation of women and other animals by following an empathetic, alcohol-free, vegetarian lifestyle. By underlining the intersecting nature of meat consumption and sexual violence, the chapter argues for a joined movement of feminists and vegetarians that opposes both violence against women and other animals. Reuniting the two movements could free Czech society of its toxic masculinity and cyclical injustices against both women and animals.
Beyond Financial Accounting: What Drives Leaders
Authors: Cappelli Peter 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The rising power of the investment community over corporations since the 1980s changed the basic ways that companies managed their operations in part because the corporate leaders themselves were different; they were much more likely to have come from engineering and finance backgrounds and less likely to have had hands-on management experience. They were also themselves managed more like contractors with explicit financial objectives. Improving reported financial outcomes requires driving down employee headcount even if doing so just shifted work to vendors and leased employees. The industry that provides nonemployee workers to companies has become huge and now drives many of the trends that first got it started.
Hiring
Authors: Cappelli Peter 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
No management practices are more important or get more attention than hiring. The practice of it has grown systematically worse over time, such that few employers even try to track how well their hiring is working. This chapter describes the shortsighted aspects of contemporary practice, based on driving down the hiring costs that appear in financial accounting while creating enormous costs elsewhere. The most obvious cost of poor hiring is employee turnover, which drives most of the need for additional hiring. The heart of many of the hiring problems has been cutting recruiters—who are relatively cheap—and pushing their tasks onto line managers, who are both more expensive and overwhelmed with other tasks such that they hire badly. Cutting recruiters appears cheaper in financial accounting because it cuts headcount.
ReSounding Poverty
Authors: Helbig Adriana N. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
ReSounding Poverty: Romani Music and Development Aid engages with global scholarship on development, poverty, and applied research. It addresses the role of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) within postsocialist neoliberal processes and analyzes the economic structures within which Romani musics circulate. Specifically, ReSounding Poverty offers a microethnography of economic networks that impact the daily lives of Romani musicians on the borders of the former Soviet Union and the European Union. It argues that the development aid allotted to provide economic assistance to Romani communities, when analyzed from the perspective of the performance arts, continues to marginalize the poorest among them. Through their structure and programming, NGOs choose which segments of the population are the most vulnerable and in the greatest need of assistance. Drawing on ethnographic research in development contexts, ReSounding Poverty asks who speaks for whom within the Romani rights movement today. Framing the critique of development aid in musical terms, it engages with Romani marginalization and economic deprivation through a closer listening to vocal inflections, physical vocalizations of health and disease, and emotional affect. ReSounding Poverty brings us into the back rooms of saman, mud and straw brick, houses not visited by media reporters and politicians, amplifying the cultural expressions of the Romani poor, silenced in the business of development.
Awareness
Authors: Helbig Adriana N. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The first half of the book, comprising the Introduction and first four chapters, offers macro perspectives on how Romani music and Romani musicians engage with international programs that shape policies and attitudes regarding Roms in post-Soviet society. Through an analysis of development structures, aid programs, and on-the-ground initiatives, the data offer a broad perspective on the relationship between music and Romani rights. The second half of the book, containing a further four chapters, brings the discussion to a micro level, offering a more intimate analysis of Romani sounds. Flipping the narrative of aid, it offers a critical analysis of the everyday experiences of impoverished Roms. Moving from discussions of stage performance, film, and social media initiatives, the second half of the book brings us into the mud-floor houses of impoverished Roms. Broadening earlier discussions of music and performance aesthetics to a focus on sound and the body, it brings us into the sonic experiences of people whose physical and mental health is shaped by the traumas and transitions of post-Soviet realities. Through an analysis of everyday struggles, it asks how the aid programs discussed in the first half of the book shape people’s everyday lives.
Transitions
Authors: Helbig Adriana N. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Chapter 1 offers a historical overview of Romani experiences in today’s eastern and western Ukraine. It contextualizes the role of Romani musicians in the Austrian and Russian Empires and charts the trajectory of such roles from the Soviet period to the present day. It also analyzes how different state policies have contributed to distinct economic, political, and social experiences for various Roma groups. This chapter paints a historical overview of non-Rom perceptions about Roms and how Romani politicians engage with such narratives in Ukraine today through examples from literature, poetry, and art.
Accountability
Authors: Helbig Adriana N. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3 explores the choices researchers make when the boundaries between scholarship and advocacy blur. It argues that in applied research settings, scholars highlight chosen aspects of the ethnographic encounter that benefit the people with whom they collaborate. Taking as a given the so-called observer effect, where the mere observation of a phenomenon inevitably changes that phenomenon, this chapter engages with contemporary critiques in Eastern Europe that identify NGOs as political actors that introduce modes of thought that push against the status quo. So-called agenda-setting theories, usually applied to media in terms of having the ability to influence the importance placed on issues in the public sphere, play a role in activist scholarship. This chapter extends this analysis to academic institutions, offering a critique of how educational programs in the United States engage with Romani music and help shape Romani rights discourses worldwide.
