Identity, Understanding, and Narrative
Authors: Warnke Georgia 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Many artists and storytellers protest portrayals of the experiences of historically marginalized people by those who do not come from their communities. Examples include a protest against the 2017 Whitney Biennial for exhibiting a painting by a White woman of Emmett Till’s mutilated body in his coffin and a 2020 protest against the publishing industry’s promotion of a novel by a non-Mexican about a Mexican immigrant. Such examples raise the question of the relation between identity, experience, understanding, and narrative. Do reliable narratives and portrayals of the experiences of others depend on being like those others? This chapter explores this question with the help of Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics. Gadamer is interested in the conditions of understanding, including the conditions of understanding the experiences of others that is interwoven with the possibility of reliable narratives. Yet while he relates understanding to experience, he suggests that it is related less to a sameness in experience than to the experience of difference.
Narrative Medicine
Authors: Spencer Danielle 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Narrative medicine is narrative hermeneutics put into practice in healthcare. Reflecting key aspects of the narrative turn, it is a methodology of clinical care conducted with attentiveness to narrative as well as an interdisciplinary field of inquiry at the nexus of healthcare and the humanities. The methodic claim is that narrative skills abet clinical practice—good readers make good doctors—and such utility secures a place for narrative medicine within the closed gates of biomedicine. Yet once inside, hermeneutics emerges, and the very nature of the textual roles and of the text itself are fruitfully explored. This tension between method and a more contemporary understanding of narrative hermeneutics evinces Gadamer’s distinction between methodic and hermeneutical epistemological frameworks. It proves valuable, drawing attention to interpretation within medicine itself and empowering all who engage in healthcare—clinicians and nonclinicians alike—to become emboldened as readers, writers, and interpreters and to engage in meaning-making as an ongoing interpretive process.
Introduction
Authors: Linstrum Erik 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Knowledge of colonial violence rippled through British society in the era of decolonization. While brutality in the colonies was nothing new, its reverberations were felt more deeply in Britain after 1945. The reasons for this include changing perceptions of state violence as a result of the Second World War, the use of conscripted soldiers, the expansion and sophistication of communication networks, and the political consequences of increased migration from the colonies. For the British people, learning to live with the violence committed in their name was a conscious process: a confrontation with uncomfortable truths that could be minimized in various ways but never fully suppressed.
Out of Apathy
Authors: Linstrum Erik 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Most of what British people heard about brutality in colonial war did not come from impartial fact-finders but from radicals with agendas. These activists included literary intellectuals, African and Asian envoys, Christian pacifists, Communist apparatchiks, black and Cypriot migrants, university students, socialist internationalists, and trade-union organizers. Together, they built a counter-narrative to the justifications for colonial war that were routinely trumpeted by political leaders and the media. They created spaces—physically and metaphorically, in print and in speech, in private and in public—where events in the colonies were treated as moral emergencies. In meeting halls and city squares, in letters to newspapers and politicians, in student unions and conscientious objector tribunals, contemporaries dissented from the waging of colonial war.
Covering Colonial War
Authors: Linstrum Erik 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
News about counterinsurgency was less a steady stream of propaganda than a fractured field of ideologies and pressures. The paradox of counterinsurgency reporting was that, in order to justify the brutality of counterinsurgency, it was sometimes necessary to draw attention to it. The irony was that codes and standards designed to enforce neutrality in journalism actually favored war and empire. When journalists decided against making violence the story, it was not because professional strictures fell apart on the front lines, but precisely because they remained in force. Many details about brutality were seen and heard by reporters but either kept from the public or undermined with conflicting information.
The Gerry Mulligan 1950s Quartets
Authors: Shipton Alyn 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The book places Gerry Mulligan’s 1950s pianoless quartet in its historical and musical context by a detailed discussion of its recordings. Mulligan’s early arrangements from his teens are explored, for bandleaders Elliot Lawrence and Gene Krupa, before he joins Miles Davis’s “Birth of the Cool” nonet. Moving to the West Coast, he arranges for Stan Kenton, and then forms his pianoless quartet at the Haig Club in Los Angeles with trumpeter Chet Baker and they experience commercial success, helping to launch the Pacific Jazz label, before Mulligan is imprisoned for heroin offenses. The group’s records create a template for his subsequent small-group work during the rest of the decade and its harmonic innovation is explored. Mulligan’s reworking of his compositions for bands of ten and six pieces is also examined, as is his first tour to Europe and later international work with Jazz at the Philharmonic. His tempestuous relationship with valve-trombonist Bob Brookmeyer is discussed, as is his marriage to Arlene Mulligan, who became his manager. The later quartets with Jon Eardley and Art Farmer are covered, as well as a successful couple of reunions with Brookmeyer, the final one in the context of the Mulligan Concert Jazz Band at the dawn of the 1960s.
Police Power and Commerce Power
Authors: Kenny Kevin 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the tensions between local and federal regulation of mobility in the antebellum era. Southern and midwestern states used their police power to impose bonds, taxes, and registration on free black people. The Seamen Acts jailed free black sailors who entered southern ports from abroad, or from other states, for the duration of their stay. Critics objected that these acts violated the commerce clause, the treaty-making power of the United States, and the privileges and immunities of black citizens. When John Marshall defined federal commerce power in Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) to include navigation, Southerners feared that Congress might use this power to regulate the mobility of free and enslaved black people. Slaveholders therefore welcomed the decision in New York v. Miln (1837) upholding a state immigration law as a legitimate exercise of police power, similar to laws regulating the mobility of free black people. Immigration, black mobility, and slavery remained tightly intertwined throughout the antebellum era.
America the Lost?
Authors: Toft Monica Duffy , Kushi Sidita 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This final chapter traces the United States’ path toward kinetic diplomacy and evaluates trends and implications for the future of US power, prosperity, and international security. It also summarizes the empirical and historical journey of US foreign policy strategies and outcomes. The chapter provides five contemporary lessons extending from our analysis of the data on US military interventions across the eras. It follows these lessons with a list of policy recommendations for the future of US foreign policy, military interventions, and defense spending based on several grand strategic visions, ranging from primacy, selective engagement to restraint. The chapter concludes with a call to drastically reassess long-standing, path-dependent US foreign policy trends.
Counseling Youth
Authors: Balkin Richard S. , Winburn Amanda , Schmit Erika L. , Mendoza Samantha M. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Counseling Youth: Systemic Issues and Interventions highlights the nature of counseling youth and implementing interventions from a systemic perspective. Included in this text is a brief overview of child-adolescent development and then a focus on issues, policies, and services for counseling youth in schools, communities, and clinical settings. Central to this book are the issues that families, schools, and communities are having difficulty addressing such as trauma, abuse, suicide, teen pregnancy, and antisocial behavior, and the key to addressing these issues is to utilize a variety of resources within the system and advocate for systemic change. The authors utilize a multidimensional focus on development, issues, and strategies, providing an integrative approach so that clinicians (present and future) have an understanding of the theory, concerns, policies, and approaches for working with youth. The authors also utilize a transtheoretical approach, attempting to provide an overview of approaches and interventions regardless of theoretical underpinnings. Unlike books that focus on a singular model, the authors’ approach is to speak to a variety of individuals training to be clinicians from a variety of backgrounds (e.g., social work, marriage and family therapy, counseling, psychology). The systemic perspective focuses on the multitude of issues and systems that impact youth development and mental health, such as academic progress and achievement, emotional and behavioral problems, and overall behaviors that impact physiological and emotional well-being. As the authors address these issues, they highlight the roles of various systems, including schools, mental health facilities, medical facilities, juvenile justice systems, and refugee services, as well as services geared to special populations such as LGBT+ youth and undocumented immigrant minors.
Defining a Systemic Approach to Working with Youth
Authors: Balkin Richard S. , Winburn Amanda , Schmit Erika L. , Mendoza Samantha M 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces the systemic perspective. The term “systemic” refers to the various services, agencies, and organizations that youth may come into contact with when receiving mental health services. Agencies and organizations essential to youth development are often underresourced or perhaps even hindered from providing effective services. A nonexhaustive list of these services includes vaccinations, vision and hearing screening, sex/abstinence-based education, free/reduced cost breakfast and lunch, early or after-school childcare, transportation, and medical services for children with special needs. While the efforts and resources put forward are pertinent and noteworthy, the effectiveness and accountability of services are often called into question. An orientation toward advocacy, a collaborative approach from a multidisciplinary perspective, and a knowledge of resources are essential to address the challenges of today’s youth.
The Interloper
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Many different *Serbi (Ch. Xianbei) dynasties emerged in the third century ce. Chapter 5, “The Interloper,” describes the establishment of one of them, that of the *Taghbach (Ch. Tuoba). Despite claims of dynastic myth, the rule of the *Taghbach line can only reliably be said to have begun in the time of Liwei (d. 277), more than a century before his dynasty renamed itself as “Northern Wei.” An upstart and interloper, Liwei appeared in the frontier highlands in a vacuum left by disappearance of Xiongnu power, and on the eve of collapse of Han’s last heir, the Western Jin (266–316). Supposedly of divine birth, he grew up to usurp the dynasty of another man, his father-in-law. To establish himself as a khaghan in the Yinshan region, Liwei used the two key technologies of any state: coercive force and manipulative symbol. His death in 277 led to temporary collapse. But the dynasty survived, with a grandson, Yilu (r. 295–316), who at least began the process of building state structures such as taxation and military draft; as well as Yilu’s sister-in-law, who after his death became a power behind the throne, establishing a precedent for the rule of women within the dynasty.
The World Shegui Entered
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In Chapter 8 we step back in time to look at the world that the first emperor of Northern Wei, Daowu, entered in the year 396: the heavily populated and richly productive Yellow River plains. In earlier times these had been core territories of the Han empire (206 bce–220 ce) and its short-lived successor, Western Jin (266–316). When Daowu arrived there almost a century later, he found the wreckage of an empire destroyed by the “disorders of the Eight Princes,” the inter-familial power struggle that destroyed Western Jin. Though led by Chinese princes, the armies engaged in those internecine conflicts had been increasingly made up of soldiery of Tibetan or Inner Asian origin. In the end, the soldiers would themselves become princes, of new kinds of states conventionally called in the Chinese historiographical tradition the “Sixteen Kingdoms.” Shegui’s was one of the last of these to emerge, and in the end the most successful. Emerging from Western Jin collapse within the Chinese world itself was the “eminent lineage,” or “great family,” local leaders who were the sole repository of order in a traumatized world. Among other things done by such people was the building of a vast array of small fortresses (wu bi), to attempt to protect themselves from bandits, or each other, or alien armies (such as that of Shegui).
Hunting and Gathering in the Land of Dai
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Hunting—of either animals, or other humans—was one of the great preoccupations of the society that took shape at Pingcheng, the capital of Northern Wei in the Datong Basin. It was a way both to discipline the soldiery, and more practically, to feed those hungry men. In Chapter 13, drawing on murals from those people’s tombs, we examine their great preoccupation with such undertakings, which is in the murals often paired with delight in the feast. Reflecting the power of women in this society, the feasts’ hosts were often not generals, but generals’ wives, in this case the Poduoluo Lady. Going further, however, the chapter unpacks the murals to give a sense not only of the rich and powerful, but of the ordinary people who tended these people’s herds, and who served them their feasts.
A Transitional Age
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
As we see in Chapter 14, with the completion of the major conquests under Taiwu, and then the death of Taiwu himself, the central place of the army and its leadership declined in the Wei court. In the vacuum, women came to play ever more prominent roles. These powerful figures were not, it needs noted, those who had actually borne the reigning monarch—forced suicide was imposed on those unfortunates—but senior women within the dynastic family, whether raised to that position because they had been wet nurse for the emperor as a baby, or because they had been primary wife of a former emperor. The most important figure thus to emerge was the Wenming empress dowager (442–490), who having taken control of the rearing of her stepson’s son, eventually killed the father and in the name of the nine-year-old on the throne took over as regent.
The Two Buddhas
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Chapter 15 looks at how Wenming and her step-grandson, the emperor Xiaowen (r. 471–499), co-ruled as “two Buddhas,” in a realm ever more shaped by the Buddhist religion. From a probably mixed-blood frontier family, Wenming knew Chinese tradition, and as she raised the boy, inculcated him with a strong sense of the duty of “filial piety,” xiao, in this case directed not to his actual parents, who were both dead, but to the one who had raised him, Wenming. Showing a strong affinity toward this tradition, not previously seen among *Taghbach (Ch. Tuoba) monarchs, Xiaowen obeyed her without reservation. With the empress dowager frequently the final voice on matters, they together began reform of the administration. Of particular importance was the Equal Fields system, by which, using the power of the Wei army, they reimposed on the farmer new adaptations of the old practices of control and taxation that had first emerged under the Qin and Han. Equal Fields would continue to play an important role in East Asian states for centuries to come.
To Luoyang
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Though an innovator, Empress Dowager Wenming was in some ways more conservative than her step-grandson, Emperor Xiaowen. In particular, she wished to keep the capital at Pingcheng, up in the highlands. As described in Chapter 16, however, after Wenming’s death in 490, Xiaowen mourned her according to Chinese ritual stipulations. When mourning was done, he put her wishes aside and in 493 moved his capital down to the ancient Chinese city of Luoyang. From Luoyang he reached out in a variety of ways to the poets and statesmen of the rival empire of Jiankang, including the refugee Wang Su. He simultaneously attempted to remake his dynasty’s original following, the Dai people, ordering them to speak Chinese and wear the robes of the Chinese gentleman, rather than the cap and trousers of the *Serbi (Ch. Xianbei) horseman. Some of those of Inner Asian extraction who accompanied Xiaowen south liked these changes; others did not.
Narrative Ethics and Dementia
Authors: Ringkamp Daniela 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
According to proponents of external narrations, such as Marya Schechtman and Jeffrey Blustein, the personal identity of dementia patients can be reconstructed by having relatives, friends, or caretakers narrate the patient’s life story. However, there are some problems inherent in this view. First, it is unclear which conditions an external narrative must fulfill to count as a narrative. Second, there is a risk of paternalistic influences by those persons who continue the patient’s life story. At very least, it may be unclear if external narrations primarily concern the biographical narrative of the patient or the narrator. Therefore, the concept of narration requires revisions if it should be regarded as a means of constructing identity. This chapter proposes a more episodic understanding of narration as well as of personal identity, and also foregrounds the importance of including nonverbal expressions like gestures and facial expressions performed by the dementia patient.
Narrative Experiments with Medical Categorization and Normalization in B. S. Johnson’s House Mother Normal
Authors: Strauss Sara 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Cultural discourses on mental health increasingly focus on medical categorization and normative classifications. In the case of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, the gradual decline in persons’ cognitive and linguistic faculties complicates insights into their subjective experiences of the conditions. By imagining the point of view of characters with neurodegenerative impairments, fictional narratives, however, attempt to convey inside perspectives into living with dementia. In his experimental novel House Mother Normal (1971), B. S. Johnson contrasts normative approaches towards mental health with the interior monologues of several fictional care home residents. It is through his experiments with formal elements and narrative techniques, like multiple focalization, stream of consciousness, fragmentation, and blank spaces, that Johnson portrays characters in different stages of dementia. Thereby his narrative can elicit processes of identification in the reader and arouse empathy with the characters portrayed. Simultaneously, Johnson’s satire also ironically questions mechanisms of medical categorization and cultural conceptions of “normality.”
Narrating Shame in Contemporary Mental Distress Memoirs by Female British Authors
Authors: Röder Katrin 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores shame and humiliation as deeply ambivalent and strongly embodied forms of communication. They are also shown to be narrative strategies through which two contemporary mental distress memoirs, Joanne Limburg’s The Woman Who Thought Too Much (2010) and Amanda Green’s My Alien Self, My Journey Back to Me (2013), examine the social stigma of mental illness in relation to gender norms, while also establishing affective ties with their readers. In the texts, shame manifests itself as a fragmentary narrative structure that is characterized by ellipses and paralipses as well as by scenes with dense affective atmospheres. Through this form of narration, both texts trace the forceful, dynamic, and transformative interactions between mentally distressed relational subjects and their social and therapeutic environments.
Spiritual Sons
Authors: Penman Leigh T.I. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter details the struggles over Gifftheil’s legacy following the prophet’s death in 1661, and charts efforts to transform Gifftheil’s doctrines from militarist bluster to writings of service to Christian missionaries. In particular, it addresses Friedrich Breckling’s transformation of Gifftheil’s legacy into a spiritualist missionary endeavour in light of his meetings with Johann Georg Gichtel and Justinian Ernst von Welz. But Breckling’s monopoly on Gifftheil’s memory was challenged by the radical prophets Johannes Rothé and Quirinus Kuhlmann, both of whom insist on military insurrection. Following the death or incapacitation of both men, Breckling’s attempts to interest Pietists like Philipp Jakob Spener and August Hermann Francke in Gifftheil’s mission are documented, and the possibility that Gifftheil’s works were read by Francke’s missionaries is raised.
Protecting and Enhancing American Security
Authors: Moore John Norton 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
UNCLOS enhances American security in multiple ways. These include enhanced navigational regimes in the territorial sea, through straits and archipelagoes, and full protection of navigational freedom in the 200-mile economic zone and on the high seas. American security is also enhanced by United States access to the strategic minerals of the deep ocean floor, a massive expansion of United States access to oil, gas and methane hydrates on America’s continental shelf, the ability to block payments from the International Seabed Authority to terrorist states, and a stable legal regime in the oceans to order expectations and manage conflict. Of particular importance, navigational freedom is an essential ingredient for United States naval mobility and international trade. UNCLOS writes this navigational freedom into the legal DNA of the world’s oceans.
