Pif1 family helicases promote mutation avoidance during DNA replication
Authors: Zhou Zhi-Xiong , Follonier Cindy , Lujan Scott A , Burkholder Adam B , Zakian Virginia A , Kunkel Thomas A 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Pif1 family 5′ → 3′ DNA helicases are important for replication fork progression and genome stability. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes two Pif1 family helicases, Rrm3 and Pif1, both of which are multi-functional. Here we describe novel functions for Rrm3 in promoting mutation avoidance during DNA replication. We show that loss of RRM3 results in elevated spontaneous mutations made by DNA polymerases Pols ϵ and δ, which are subject to DNA mismatch repair. The absence of RRM3 also causes higher mutagenesis by the fourth B-family DNA polymerase Pol ζ. By genome-wide analysis, we show that the mutational consequences due to loss of RRM3 vary depending on the genomic locus. Rrm3 promotes the accuracy of DNA replication by Pols ϵ and δ across the genome, and it is particularly important for preventing Pol ζ-dependent mutagenesis at tRNA genes. In addition, mutation avoidance by Rrm3 depends on its helicase activity, and Pif1 serves as a backup for Rrm3 in suppressing mutagenesis. We present evidence that the sole human Pif1 family helicase in human cells likely also promotes replication fidelity, suggesting that a role for Pif1 family helicases in mutation avoidance may be evolutionarily conserved, a possible underlying mechanism for its potential tumor-suppressor function.
Monitoring translation in all reading frames downstream of weak stop codons provides mechanistic insights into the impact of nucleotide and cellular contexts
Authors: Loughran Gary , Li Xiang , O’Loughlin Sinead , Atkins John F , Baranov Pavel V 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
A stop codon entering the ribosome A-site is normally decoded by release factors that induce release of the polypeptide. Certain factors influence the efficiency of the termination which is in competition with elongation in either the same (readthrough) or an alternative (frameshifting) reading frame. To gain insight into the competition between these processes, we monitored translation in parallel from all three reading frames downstream of stop codons while changing the nucleotide context of termination sites or altering cellular conditions (polyamine levels). We found that P-site codon identity can have a major impact on the termination efficiency of the OPRL1 stop signal, whereas for the OAZ1 ORF1 stop signal, the P-site codon mainly influences the reading frame of non-terminating ribosomes. Changes to polyamine levels predominantly influence the termination efficiency of the OAZ1 ORF1 stop signal. In contrast, increasing polyamine levels stimulate readthrough of the OPRL1 stop signal by enhancing near-cognate decoding rather than by decreasing termination efficiency. Thus, by monitoring the four competing processes occurring at stop codons we were able to determine which is the most significantly affected upon perturbation. This approach may be useful for the interrogation of other recoding phenomena where alternative decoding processes compete with standard decoding.
The Sociology of Race
Authors: Roberts Dorothy E. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
W. E. B. Du Bois was the first scholar to develop a sociology of race—a social science based on scientific principles and methods that could analyze the social causes of differences between the well-being and status of Black people versus white people in America. Defining race as a social category, he refuted the dominant claim that Black people’s subordinate social position stemmed naturally from innate biological traits. His writings promoting a “talented tenth” of Black people as a strategy for political advancement has sparked disagreement among scholars of Du Bois over whether he completely renounced a biological definition of race. Examining the Du Boisian sociology of race helps to clarify Du Bois’s insights on the distinction between a biological and constructionist definition of race, his rejection of eugenics, and his pathbreaking understanding of the relationship between race and racism more broadly.
The Making of Black Marxism
Authors: Burawoy Michael 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The well-known shortcomings of the writings of Marx and Engels have given rise to the Marxist tradition that continually reconstructs itself to accommodate the challenges it meets in different places at different times. Thus the Marxist tradition has sprouted a succession of branches. One of the most enduring is Black Marxism, a Marxism that adopts the standpoint of racially subjugated populations. This essay considers W. E. B. Du Bois and Frantz Fanon as representative of this tradition. Despite their divergent biographies, they share important features and objects of analysis. Both made a radical shift from a phenomenology of racism to Black Marxism, which is represented by their iconic works Black Reconstruction in America and The Wretched of the Earth. Moreover, both systematically incorporated “race” into their accounts of the antecedents, processes, and outcomes of revolution. Yet they also diverge in key respects: Fanon focused on class struggle on the dark side of the color line while Du Bois focused on the class struggle on the white side of the color line; and while Fanon tended to homogenize the forces of colonial domination, Du Bois tended to homogenize the agency of the racially subjugated. Comparing these two Black Marxists highlights the strengths and limitations of each, while at the same time underlining the vitality of their shared Black Marxism as a truly global project.
The Global Music Business, and the Globalization of Culture
Authors: Gebesmair Andreas 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The global music business is without a doubt one of the main drivers of cultural globalization. In many countries of the world, a handful of global superstars dominate the music charts. Nevertheless, a closer look at the statistics shows that the assumption of a constant increase of homogenization is misleading. Firstly, there are some countries which resist international trends; secondly, the degree of homogenization has been stable for decades with some fluctuation but no serious increase; thirdly, global homogenization does not contradict the increase of local diversity, and sometimes even a kind of counterflow from the peripheries to the center can be observed. Furthermore, the music business itself has substantially changed in recent decades. While the major labels continue to dominate the business, new players have entered the global music market. In this article, the globalization of culture is evaluated from an economic perspective, using data on the global flow of musical goods.
Queer Gender and Sexuality in Indigenous Language Revitalization
Authors: Pyle Kai 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The status of Indigenous languages and queer, trans, and Two-Spirit Indigenous people in North America are closely linked. As colonial policies of forced assimilation reduced the number of speakers of Indigenous languages, once highly visible roles for Two-Spirit people were likewise eroded. Since the 1970s, movements of language revitalization have also been intertwined with movements to reclaim Two-Spirit roles in Indigenous communities. This chapter uses examples from Anishinaabe communities to examine language usage of Two-Spirit people as a form of linguistic creativity. This creativity, which is more complex than simply recovering words used in the past, indicates the centrality of gender and sexuality to practices of language revitalization.
Battles and Ballets
Authors: Shapiro Roberta 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Breakdancing arrived in France from the United States in 1982. Many of the initial practitioners were boys from working-class immigrant families. In France, the youngsters worked with professional concert dancers very early on, and were introduced to the aesthetics of classical dance and modern dance, as well as to a key facet of collective organization: the troupe. Public authorities also granted perdurable support to Hip Hop companies and to festivals. The development of formal training, critical discourse, and the intellectualization of the discipline also contributed to its artification. Thus, it was Hip Hop ballets and dance companies, essentially in the not-for-profit sector, and not, as in other countries, battles, that spearheaded enthusiasm and the process of institutionalization of this form. Battles did not develop decisively until after 2000. This, in turn, triggered an expansion of the dance in the commercial sector. Recruitment has also expanded to include more women and middle-class people. There is a paradoxical relation between the various scenes of Hip Hop practice, from battles and television to theatrical art venues. Persons, aesthetics, and values circulate among these scenes. All are intertwined in a dynamic interdependence.
What Makes a Man Break?
Authors: Fogarty Mary 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
One of the lessons that little boys learn is that the worst thing that can happen is to lose to a girl. This chapter questions how this sort of lesson impacts a culture like Hip Hop and, more specifically, breaking culture. I examine how breaking culture grew up over decades and how some of the B-Boys and B-Girls who started as children continued into adulthood and middle age. The goal is to think through how the culture itself can experience a metamorphosis, transforming gender relationships and evolving towards a futurity that also pushes society at large to challenge its deeply entrenched rituals that re-enact gender inequity.
Framing Hip Hop Dance as an Object of Sociological and Cultural Research
Authors: Bennett Andy 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The longevity of Hip Hop dance has generated a rich cultural legacy that links it with music, spoken word, art, writing, and photography. Another important feature of Hip Hop dance is the way it situates the body in space and place. Although Hip Hop dance is a global form, it retains strong ties to the “local,” a quality that reflects Hip Hop’s origins as a street culture. This chapter provides a series of conceptual and theoretical tools with which to contextualize and think about Hip Hop dance. Drawing on contemporary sociological and cultural theories of key themes, including the body, space and place, and cultural scenes, as well as work around identity and belonging, the chapter will equip readers with the necessary conceptual and analytical skills to begin to think critically about Hip Hop dance and its significance as a contemporary cultural practice.
Breaking in My House
Authors: DeFrantz Thomas F. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Does breaking belong within the forms of dance recognized as “house”? How did Hip Hop and house emerge as separate sorts of dance cultures among African Americans, Latinx folx, Asians, Native, and others, and how have they reconciled in contemporary global circumstances? What are some of the ways that gender and racial identities still function in considerations of Hip Hop and house dance? What are some of the important interstices of Hip Hop and house in academic discourses? What are some implications of race in the articulations of popular dance cultures and their circulations? Constructed as a listing of themes elaborated to performative effect, this chapter wonders at the possibilities to write into Black social dance as a rhythmic playing through words; words that might represent thinking-through-dancing as the source of a communal activity.
Staging Hip Hop Dance
Authors: McKesey Leah “McFly” , Reyes Diana “Fly Lady Di” , Fogarty Mary 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the legacy of the dancers, known as the Fly Girls, who appeared on the American television show In Living Color. The Fly Girls’ performances, fashion, and choreographies circulated through mass media, and inspired future generations of dancers. The chapter recounts the impact the Fly Girls had on the development of professional choreographic practice, sense of self, and fashion sense in Hip Hop dance, from the unique perspectives and experiences of three dancers in particular: Leah “McFly” McKesey, Diana “Fly Lady Di” Reyes, and Mary “MJ” Fogarty. Because their memories of the Fly Girls are woven throughout a social history that focuses on the childhood and coming of age of these three dancers, they are presented here as testament to the Fly Girls formative contributions. Both Leah “McFly” McKesey and Diana “Fly Lady Di” Reyes met one of their inspirations live, the original Fly Girl, Jossie Harris, in New York City, and the chapter concludes with an interview and exchange between her and the authors.
Afterword
Authors: Schloss Joseph 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This afterword explores ways that the study of Hip-Hop dance - as exemplified by the essays contained in The Oxford Handbook of Hip-Hop Dance - can provide a platform for critical interventions in the field of Hip-Hop Studies. How might the theoretical, methodological, political and cultural perspectives of hip-hop dance studies be integrated into the larger discipline of Hip-Hop Studies and what would we gain by doing so?
The Politicization of the Harp through Moore’s Irish Melodies
Authors: Hunt Una 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This chapter examines the richly varied representation of the harp within Thomas Moore’s drawing-room songs, the Irish Melodies, focusing, in particular, on the instrument’s increasing politicization throughout the cycle. Moore was one of the most famous Irishmen of his day and through his celebrated cycle of songs, he propagated the harp music of Ireland to a new and much larger audience and increased interest in the ancient art of harping as well as adding to the instrument’s already-established symbolic significance. By the time of Moore, the harp had become deeply politicized through the symbolism of political groups such as the Volunteers and the United Irishmen; both movements recognized music in general, and the harp in particular, as important conduits for their ideology. The impact of these groups is examined along with the contribution of figures such as the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the writer and harpist Sydney Owenson. By elevating the harp to the status of a living entity, Moore imbued it with eloquence, potency, and magical qualities, thereby setting it apart from other cultural tropes. The harp embodies Ireland itself, acting as a touchstone for tradition at a pivotal point in history when the ancient art of harping was dying out. Moore continuously celebrates this extraordinary legacy by linking harps, harpers, and harp music in a chronicle of extinction and rebirth. Thus, his songs are multi-layered and complex in their recognition of the harp’s rich symbolism—musical, cultural, and political.
Stretch Goals as a Method for Leveraging Opportunities Created by Uncertainty
Authors: See Kelly E. , Anisman-Razin Moran , Miller C. Chet , Sitkin Sim B. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We currently face serious societal problems that involve high levels of uncertainty, ranging from apocalyptic famine to environmental degradation, the spread of previously unimaginable pandemic illness, and extremely risky financial practices. At the same time, there are significant opportunities involving similar levels of uncertainty, such as revolutionary medical advances and space exploration. Organizations of all types have struggled to address crucial large-scale, uncertain societal issues, and in many instances have given up or at least lowered their sights and scope. Some organizational leaders simply do not know what questions to ask or how to ask them in order to “stretch” and dedicate themselves every day to aspirations that are seemingly impossible. In this chapter, the authors consider how organizations might successfully utilize stretch goals to address seemingly impossible challenges. The authors assert that stretch goals can be a tool to manage and leverage external uncertainty that demands exploration and bold new directions, as well as generate productive uncertainty from inside the organization. The authors discuss the inertial tendencies of the organizations that are best positioned to pursue stretch goals, and how to overcome those tendencies. Integrating recent theoretical and empirical work in the areas of stretch goals and workplace courage, the authors assert that the courage of organizational leaders and decision makers is a potentially critical factor that alters stretch goal pursuit, despite courage being overlooked or left implicit in existing research on organization-level stretch goals.
Religious Authority and Participatory Social Action in Indian Networks
Authors: Rajan Benson 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Since the late 2000s, the religious landscape in India has witnessed a marked shift with several religious bodies adopting and adapting to an online mode of worship. Digital platforms have allowed churches to not only foster immersive religious participation but also to redefine the notion of “congregating.” Churches have incorporated intensive technocentric modes—such as Zoom call prayers, online Bible studies, virtual confessions, faith tweets, meme ministry, devotional Insta stories, and more—to sustain their sociocultural fabric in a digital India. This chapter explores the negotiations and participations that have emerged in India’s growing digital religious environment. While in the initial days, religious authorities struggled to navigate the digital matrix of religion: today, they seem to be moving toward a symbiotic exchange, a transition that has encouraged more emphatic participation from the Indian Christian networks.
Challenges in Jewish Communities Online
Authors: Sabag-Ben Porat Chen , Rosenberg Hananel , Blondheim Menahem 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This chapter charts the response of Jewish groups to encounters with digital networks. It outlines the development of Jewish communities online, surveying their characteristics and varieties. Highlighting the divides between Jewish denominations, as well as between Israel and the Diaspora, the chapter traces the evolution of online Jewish communities diachronically, from the emergence of the World Wide Web to the dominance of social media in the digital environment. First, it maps contemporary Jews and Judaism in their quest for community, and in their attitudes toward the use of digital technologies as a way of achieving this goal. Then it surveys aspects of the theoretical study of both online religion and religion online, as they relate to the Jewish case. It continues with a review of the literature on digital Judaism, dividing it into two research phases corresponding to the following platforms: (a) internet sites and forums, and (b) social media, maintaining in both phases a dominant emphasis on ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) groups. A secondary emphasis is on the role of women and their online presence, in Haredi and other communities.
Death, Religion, and Digital Media
Authors: Savin-Baden Maggi 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This chapter presents up-to-date research on death, religion, and digital media, covering areas such as digital theologies; theologies of death, religion, and media; digital legacy; and the death-tech industry. The central argument of the chapter is that the impact of digital media in the context of death and dying needs to be examined and engaged with in-depth by those working in practical religion, death studies, and theology. The chapter also suggests that the area of digital afterlife needs to be considered and wrestled with in depth since this area is having an impact on people’s lives and yet remains an area barely discussed in faith settings.
Pocket Memorials
Authors: Cann Candi K. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This chapter examines digital media’s intersection with death, dying, and memorialization through the lens of smartphone technology. Drawing on earlier work on the role of social media, the Internet, and forms of memorializing the dead online, the chapter examines how digital spaces for the dead expand, contract, and shift through the technology of the smartphone. In 2019, with more than three quarters of Americans and Britons and two thirds of Chinese citizens owning and using a smartphone, smartphone technology and its applications are shifting the ways we think about and interact with death, such as relates to holding funerals, mourning losses, and planning for dying. Last, the chapter examines the ways in which COVID-19 has fast-forwarded both the adoption and utilization of digital tools in deathspaces.
Mosques, Churches, and Technology in Southeast Asia
Authors: Meng Yoe Tan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Digital religion in Southeast Asia is a rapidly growing field of practice, but it remains an understudied one, with limited research documenting and analyzing the phenomenon across the region. The rapid increase of internet connectivity in many parts of the region, coupled with the great diversity of cultures, will cause many forms of digital religion to emerge as a response to local customs and needs. One of the challenges of building a research strength in this region is its cultural diversity, making generalizations difficult. Yet it is necessary to develop a practical model for researching digital religion in Southeast Asia. Using Christianity and Islam as a focal point, this chapter attempts to provide a survey of the different types of research that have been done on Christianity and Islam and their intersections with digital technology in Southeast Asia, and how cultural complexities allow for a range of expressions of digital religion. In addition, the circuit of culture model of communication is proffered as a theoretical tool to systematically catalogue and analyze how digital technologies play a part in the continuously evolving field of digital religion in Southeast Asia.
Victor Zuckerkandl’s Writings for the Mid-Century American Listener
Authors: Tan Daphne 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Music theorist and philosopher Victor Zuckerkandl (1896–1965) produced several pedagogical writings in the 1940s and 1950s, a period in which there was no shortage of materials in the marketplace aimed at a general audience. Zuckerkandl’s contributions are neither intended for “the professional disciplines” nor are they in the vein of the numerous “music appreciation” texts of the time, for he believed that there should be little distinction between the attitudes and perspectives that specialists and non-specialists brought to the study of music. Through a discussion of several unpublished and published sources, including The Sense of Music (1959), a treatise based on Zuckerkandl’s teaching experiences in the American liberal arts classroom, this chapter demonstrates the primacy of immersive and reflective listening in Zuckerkandl’s approach—one focused less on the technical aspects of music and more on its dynamic forces.
