Multidimensionality as a Springboard for Connections
Authors: Barrett Janet Revell 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Musical works have long held as centerpieces of curriculum development, an assumption that has come under scrutiny through music education’s recent critique of the prominence of Western European Art Music that privileges Whiteness while silencing persons of color and other forms of expression. This chapter discusses these practices involving repertoires and their selection before suggesting that musical works can serve touchstones, catalysts, cases, or prompts for examining the histories and traditions that surround these works. A multidimensional exploration of a work, guided by the metaphor “a work of art is like a gem with many facets,” organizes this chapter. While describing the dimensions, or “facets,” of the model, this chapter illustrates its curricular potential through describing the origins, path of reception, elements, structure, texts, expressive qualities, and interpretive stances that attend an iconic anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and its passage through Black cultural traditions and society at large.
The Musics of Our Time
Authors: Barrett Janet Revell 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Contemporary repertoires are featured in this chapter, beginning with an imaginative work that draws from theoretical physics and postmodern theory. This unusual springboard sets up the premise for the chapter—that the universe of music keeps expanding, an expansion that might be better represented within the world of the music classroom. How should music educators think about what “the music of our time” encompasses? The notion of musical omnivores is introduced to stimulate thinking about the breadth of musical interests and expressions available for curricular consideration. A profile of a contemporary artist/musician/change agent conveys how musical creativity in what is often considered “new music” embraces boundary-crossing with new forms of expression, collaborators, and communities. “Stretching exercises” invite consideration of works that might be brought into classrooms to engage students in the study and performance of these contemporary expressions.
The Foundations of an Interdisciplinary Pedagogy
Authors: Barrett Janet Revell 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Music teachers are equipped with pedagogical strategies to foster students’ skills in performance and to teach systems of Western musical notation. Approaches for teaching improvisation and composition are burgeoning, as are emerging frameworks for teaching popular music and music production. This chapter focuses on a relatively underexamined area of the field addressing how music teachers teach for connections and do so intentionally. Based in a pedagogy of mutuality, in which students and teachers engage in inquiry, interpretation, and creation, it suggests that “soft planning” enables responsiveness and flexibility to enable these forms of interaction. Selecting artistic works that lend themselves to multidimensional explorations, with a high “interdisciplinary quotient,” promotes strong connections to closely related fields. An example from a large-scale curriculum project using the metaphor of a dashboard portrays how disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary breadth prompts journeys of exploration and relational thinking.
Bridges of Inspiration
Authors: Barrett Janet Revell 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Music and art are found in school settings as common curricular offerings available to students. Their interrelationships, however, are seldom examined in curricular experiences. After briefly tracing ways that the music curriculum has embraced art in the past, this chapter delves into the prodigious output and artistic curiosity of one artist, Paul Klee, who integrated music into his art making as well as his teaching. A three-part encounter with two of his works, Rose Garden and Highway and Byways, establishes this fertile melding. Klee’s paintings have also inspired many composers to create music for various types of musical groups. The pedagogical possibilities for crossing these bridges of inspiration are exemplified through one painting in particular, The Twittering Machine. A panoramic curriculum project provides multiple entry points for teachers to consider, including strategies for developing, expanding, reflecting, synthesizing, and assessing students’ responses. Flexibility is key here, as the curricular imagination and flexibility of teachers are encouraged.
Assessing the Strength of Connections
Authors: Barrett Janet Revell 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Assessment is an ongoing concern for music teachers seeking to determine how curricular experiences promote students’ musical growth. Considerable confusion surrounds the mechanisms of assessment, and expectations for communicating evidence of student learning to those outside the classroom. This chapter encourages teachers to consider an alternative approach to these dilemmas, especially as it relates to their interdisciplinary perspectives. If connected ways of thinking are valued, teachers’ observations of students’ relational understanding should guide their practices as well. An explanatory model offers categories for focusing teachers’ attention on the types of relationships students form, the evidence they gather, and criteria for assessing the strength of connections. A second emphasis clarifies how multiple methods of assessment better align with multiple types of learning. Two examples of the close alignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment in choral classrooms and professional development seminars situate these ideas in concrete instances of practice.
Instrument of the State
Authors: Harbert Benjamin J. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Angola Prison is the largest and one of the most notorious state prisons in the United States, built into a slave plantation that Louisiana bought in 1901. It has also been the most musically significant. Following a documentary film project, this book combines oral histories and extensive archival research to piece together an account of how prisoners and the administration have used music for more than 120 years. The book brings together well-known musicians who served time there, including Lead Belly, Charles Neville, and James Booker, as well as a litany of musicians who made significant contributions to the prison’s music scene only to die there or be unable to establish careers upon release. Instrument of the State: A Century of Music in Louisiana’s Angola Prison traces how musicians find small but essential freedoms by playing jazz, R&B, country, gospel, rock, and fusion. In doing so, the history expands folkloric definitions of “prison music.” The book considers the broader musicality of the prison as a way of understanding state power and the fragments of hope and joy that remain in its wake. Through many decades, music both clings to and resists the prison’s shifting and often conflicting missions: rehabilitation, slavery, and abandonment. The perspectives of incarcerated musicians reveal how music responds to violence, reform, prisoners’ rights, sensationalism, and power through the twentieth century. Instrument of the State is an indictment of the brutality of prison, its disproportionate effects on African Americans, and the desperate profiteering of a deliberately underfunded state agency.
Inflection
Authors: Harbert Benjamin J. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In the 1980s, prisoners’ rights efforts waned, but the music continued. Chapter 5 traces the years following prisoners’ rights gains. A wake of musical change followed dramatic changes of the mid-1970s when court decisions resulted in federal receivership. Accounting for the inflection of post–prisoners’ rights reveals how music maintained incremental gains and expressed the unevenness and failure to deliver reform. This chapter follows the bands that adapted to the desegregated prison: Time Factor, Def Posse, Megasound, and the Big River Band. It also shows the parallel development of Angola’s gospel scene, chronicling John Henry Taylor Jr.’s cultivation of R&B singers newly facing life sentences.
Recapitulation
Authors: Harbert Benjamin J. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Beginning in the 1990s, Angola’s music scene shifted toward sacred music, and the remaining music opportunities for secular musicians were consolidated into an expanded rodeo event. These changes resulted from a new warden, a statute that opened the door for outside evangelical groups, and a more substantial financial reliance on tourism. Chapter 6 picks up my visits to the prison from 2008 to 2016, offering a recapitulation of all five themes of the preceding chapters. The chapter argues that music is still astonishing, associative, political, part of prison surfaces, and inflected toward desperate goals and promises. This final chapter aims to show how these historical perspectives of the prison illuminate current practices. The chapter describes the music of gospel musicians, the rodeo band, a banjo maker, and the secular musicians’ band room.
Brain Injury and Recovery Models within a Biopsychosocial Framework
Authors: Murdaugh Donna L. , O’Toole Kathleen M. , King Tricia Z. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces a brain injury and recovery model that supports the theoretical framework for which C-READY was developed. Illustrations are provided about the level of skill acquisition at the time of injury and how the level impacts the development of skills. Cognitive and brain reserve constructs within a dynamic model of outcomes across the lifespan are discussed. The crucial biopsychosocial context of the individual is emphasized and combines the complementary Bronfenbrenner Bioecological Systems Theory and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to provide a robust theoretical model for highlighting the intrinsic and extrinsic determinants of cognitive development. The chapter emphasizes the complex and dynamic interplay of risk and resiliencies in neurodevelopment that includes timing of the injury or condition with neurological, cognitive, social-emotional, and family and community risks, barriers, and resources.
Transition of Care
Authors: Murdaugh Donna L. , O’Toole Kathleen M. , King Tricia Z. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter highlights important intrinsic and extrinsic factors that occur from early adolescence to emerging adulthood that affect brain development and subsequent cognitive outcome. Common challenges and areas of concern that need to be considered when developing a personalized transition-of-care plan are discussed. Emphasis is on the crucial components of ongoing assessment and dynamic collaboration among the pediatric health care providers, along with the youth and family, to develop an interactive plan, to implement and document the plan, and to adapt the plan to optimize independence over time. Adult health care providers are encouraged to become familiar with conditions previously only thought relevant to pediatric health care providers in preparation for youth transitioning to adult care.
Epilogue
Authors: Brendese P.J. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The epilogue engages the question of whether the appropriate response to segregated time is a politics and theory oriented toward an integrated time. In view of the trappings of white time as defining what it means to be co-eval and co-present in the first place, I am skeptical of temporal integration as a panacea. Relatedly, scholarly affirmations of temporal sovereignty as a mode of contesting dominant temporal orders also strike me as misguided. It would be a mistake to map the ownership of control of space associated with territorial sovereignty onto time. The epilogue explores these shortcomings in order to make time for orienting ourselves toward times we do not have, and relational modes of inhabiting time otherwise.
Screening the Posthuman
Authors: Molloy Missy , Duncan Pansy , Henry Claire 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
From artificial intelligence (AI) to climate change, recent technological, ecological, cultural, and social transformations have unsettled established assumptions about the relationship between the human and the more-than-human world. Screening the Posthuman addresses a heterogenous body of twenty-first-century films that turn to the figure of the “posthuman” as a means of exploring this development. Through close analyses of films as diverse as Air Doll (dir. Hirokazu Koreeda, 2009), Woman at War (dir. Benedikt Erlingsson, 2018) and Fast Color (dir. Julia Hart, 2018), the book shows that, while often identified as the remit of science fiction, the “posthuman on screen” crosses filmic genres, national contexts, and industrial settings. In the process, posthuman cinema emphasizes humanity’s entanglement in broader biological, technological, and social worlds, and exposes new models of subjectivity, politics, community, relationality, and desire. In advancing these arguments, Screening the Posthuman draws on scholarship associated with critical posthumanist theory—an ongoing project unified by a decentering of the figure of the “human” and driven by critics such as Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, Cary Wolfe, N. Katherine Hayles, and Stacy Alaimo. As the first systematic, full-length application of this body of scholarship to cinema, the book advocates for a rigorous posthumanist critique that avoids both humanist nostalgia and transhumanist fantasy in its attention to the excitements and anxieties of posthuman existence.
Envisioning Posthuman Apocalypse
Authors: Molloy Missy 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Cinematic visions of possible futures run the gamut from pessimistic speculations of technological innovation to comparatively optimistic representations of posthuman experience. With this variety in mind, Chapter 2 spotlights films featuring apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic scenarios to delineate posthuman takes on cataclysmic change to life on earth. The pervasiveness of apocalyptic representations in the twenty-first century highlights the timeliness of this category of cinema, as well as contemporary filmmakers’ tendencies to merely tease human extinction to generate suspense, rather than to challenge core humanistic values. Case study films—including Lynette Wallworth’s Collisions (2016), Julia Hart’s Fast Color (2018), and Jeff Nichols’s Take Shelter (2011)—illustrate forms of posthuman critique that expose alternative modes of human and nonhuman earthly habitation. Drawing on the scholarship of Susan Sontag, Evan Calder Williams, Neil Badmington, and Sarah Keller, the second chapter argues that posthuman disaster cinema depicts catastrophe as rooted in historical traumas and as already well underway, rather than imminent. This cinema also delivers a wake-up call regarding humanity’s precarity and the need to take the politics of the posthuman condition to task.
From Cyborg Theory to Posthuman Mothers
Authors: Molloy Missy 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3 traces feminist and materialist developments in posthuman theory—from Donna Haraway’s groundbreaking cyborg figure through the influential works of scholars including N. Katherine Hayles and Rosi Braidotti—to analyze depictions of women cyborgs in twenty-first-century cinema. It foregrounds the cinematic use of women cyborgs as vehicles for exploring posthuman embodiment and the erosion of humanism’s silo of human from nonhuman, object from subject, and organism from machine. It also argues that while women cyborgs provide ample opportunities to assess posthumanism’s undermining of fundamental humanistic binaries, they also demonstrate the persistent appeal of humanistic and transhumanist cinematic elements, which are particularly conspicuous in cyborg characterizations that lean on classical strategies of objectifying women on-screen. The films these cyborgs appear in—including Under the Skin (Jonathan Glazer, 2013), Celle que vous croyez/Who You Think I Am (Safy Nebbou 2019), and The Congress (Ari Folman, 2013)—underscore the overwhelming ambivalence of the posthuman in contemporary narrative cinema, especially in representations of posthuman mothers.
Union Density in the Unregulated Period (1900–1934)
Authors: Stepan-Norris Judith 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines union dynamics during the unregulated period, 1900 to 1934. It begins with three accounts of union organizing during this period with varying outcomes: minimal, moderate, and highly successful unionization attempts in eleven different industries. It provides an overview of the broader political, legal, and economic context of the period, along with industry level variation in employment, occupation, and race and gender demographics. It considers union strategies for organizing, including the tensions between craft and industrial organizing along with the use of strikes. It also examines various employer strategies for dis-organizing unions, including organizing employer associations, using anti-union agents, and deskilling. It concludes by showing which factors and strategies contributed to different levels of union density by industry within this context.
From Displacement to Defection
Authors: Scott Erik R. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The trial of defector Victor Kravchenko was part of a broader contest between the Soviet Union and the United States over the control of migration in postwar Europe. While the United States and its allies initially cooperated in returning Soviet citizens, Western policy shifted to resisting repatriation requests, supporting a politicized refugee system, and, ultimately, encouraging flight from the socialist bloc. Over time, defection supplanted the wartime notion that those like Kravchenko who fled by choice were simply deserters, and those displaced by Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union were helpless victims of circumstances. A focus on defection’s emergence reveals how the Soviet and American systems for governing migration were shaped not just by prewar pathways and postwar circumstances, but also by their encounter with each other.
Socialist Borders in a Global Age
Authors: Scott Erik R. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Overseen by the KGB, Soviet border troops sought to be gatekeepers who could both open and close the state’s western boundaries to migrants, goods, and ideas in pursuit of Soviet foreign policy goals. They found increasingly sophisticated ways of doing so in an era of globalization, drawing on new technologies and an increased capacity for “prophylactic policing” to prevent defection before it happened. However, behind the façade of a solid “bloc,” the establishment of a common socialist border regime was a contested process. It was riven by tensions between the Soviet state and its socialist allies, distrust between Moscow and those living in the USSR’s multiethnic periphery, and suspicions that seeped into the ranks of the border troops.
International Waters
Authors: Scott Erik R. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The seizure of the tanker Tuapse and its aftermath epitomized the contradictions of the maritime expansion of the Soviet Union. Soviet authorities sought to use the episode to pry open the South China Sea and tar the United States as a supporter of “piracy.” At the same time, they viewed maritime zones as places of ideological transgression and strove to police the behavior of Soviet sailors. The state’s claims on its sailors were written into international agreements reached at the United Nations that created a framework for governing the high seas for the first time in history. The crew of the Tuapse were at the center of this struggle for the seas and the minds and bodies of those who sailed across them. The stranded sailors offered Soviet officials an opportunity to push their distinct vision of maritime mobility through legal proceedings, literary productions, and cinema.
The Lay of the Land
Authors: Saltzstein Jennifer 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines land use in Northern France during the long thirteenth century. This chapter lays a foundation for later chapters in which landscapes described in songs are compared to historical patterns of land use. It provides an overview of the climatic conditions and demographic changes. It compares the land use around urban areas to land use in rural estates. The chapter explores how land use was shaped by identity, with lifestyles conditioning the physical terrain. Cities were surrounded by the fields and vineyards that supplied urban dwellers with bread and wine. Rural estates included non-agricultural areas such as forests, deer parks, and gardens that were important to the self-image of aristocrats.
Conclusion
Authors: Rinke Stefan 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This concluding chapter describes the Conquest of Tenochtitlan as the culmination of a Mesoamerican war. It clarifies that the Conquest should be understood as part of a long history of military conflicts between the Mexica and their countless enemies. The narrative of Hernán Cortés focused on psychological factors of the Conquest and posited that the Spaniards, with their supposedly superior civilization and rational viewpoint, and allegedly being aided by the one true God, confronted the enfeebled indigenous population. Scholars often blamed the Mexica’s fighting style for their defeat despite their clear numerical supremacy. The chapter looks at the factors that lead to the fall of Tenochtitlan, such as superior iron weapons, indigenous allies, epidemics from Europe, and the structural instability of the Mesoamerican world of city-states.
Introduction
Authors: Schmid Hans Bernhard 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The Introduction develops the core idea of fundamental social ontology. Fundamental social ontology differs from conventional social ontology in that it involves us as the creators of the social world rather than just as the creatures thereof. Conventionally understood, we are who we are in virtue of our positions (or non-positions) in the social world. But we cannot understand ourselves, and the social world that we inhabit, if we take ourselves only to be the creatures or denizens of the social world. The social world is fundamentally of our own making. We are not only the conventional denizens of the social world, but the fundamental demiurges thereof, too. But who exactly is this mysterious demiurge, this “creator-we,” whom does it include, whom does it exclude, and how exactly is it that “we” make the social world?
What’s Shared in Shared Intention?
Authors: Schmid Hans Bernhard 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Living together is a joint activity. Joint activity involves shared intention. The basic problem in understanding shared intention is knowing what exactly it is that is shared in shared intention. Intention can be analyzed in terms of content, subject, and mode. Content-accounts of shared intention argue that sharedness is limited to content. Subject-accounts argue that shared intentions involve a shared intentional subject. Mode-accounts argue that shared intention involves a special intentional mode. Each of the three alternative accounts struggles with serious objections. The strongest objection against subject-accounts, however, relies on a misconception of the intentional subject.
