The Recovery of the Icon
Authors: Louth Andrew 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Icons nowadays are closely associated with Orthodoxy. Nevertheless the tradition of icon painting was virtually lost from the eighteenth century onwards, and only recovered in the twentieth. For Dostoevsky and Bulgakov religious art meant Western art. Although older traditions were preserved among the Old Believers, the recovery of the icon took place in various stages. Cleaning techniques first employed in the nineteenth century revealed icons as coloured, rather than gloomy objects of devotion. Art historians and connoisseurs, notably Shchukin and Morosov, became interested. Rublev was rediscovered. The exhibition, ‘Old Russian Art’, in Moscow in 1913, displayed icons in a new light. Trubetskoy and Florensky began to reflect on iconography. The recovery of actual icon painting was a matter of individuals: Uspensky, Krug, and in Greece, by a different route, Kontoglou. Others who began to paint icons included St Maria of Paris, Sister Joanna Reitlinger, and St Sophrony of Essex.
What Did Vladimir Lossky Mean by ‘Mystical Theology’?
Authors: Louth Andrew 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
What did Lossky expect his readers to understand by ‘mystical theology’? For when his Mystical Theology was published (in 1944), ‘mysticism’, or la mystique was very much in the air. Von Hügel had begun a trend, picked up by Heiler and Otto, and in Catholic circles by Bremond, Poulain, and Saudreau; Baruzi’s influential book on St John of the Cross discussed the problem of ‘mystical experience’. The ‘mystical’ was a category used by Balthasar and Daniélou; and then, just after Lossky’s book, Stolz, Gilson, and Bouyer wrote about it (Bouyer exploring its patristic origins). All this time Lossky was engaging with the mystical in his thesis on Eckhart, seeing in something beyond conceptualization, grasped by experience. In his Mystical Theology, Lossky expects such a pre-understanding of the mystical, but sees it as the deeper meaning of Church dogma, and associates it with sacramental experience.
The Slav Philokalia and The Way of a Pilgrim
Authors: Louth Andrew 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This essay tells a story that touches on the Greek Philokalia only tangentially. For the story of the Slav Dobrotolyubie, as it is properly called (a nod certainly to the Greek work, perhaps in justification of its publication). Païssy, who translated the texts in the Dobrotolyubie, spent much time in Romania, his visit to Mount Athos being largely a disappointment. His quest for ancient monastic texts was parallel to Nikodimos’, not inspired by it, and he focused more closely on the Jesus Prayer. Païssy’s Dobrotolyubie was later translated into Russian by Theophan the Recluse, who shared Païssy’s feel for the practical. Theophan is crucial for The Way of a Pilgrim, for it was his version that became so popular in translation in the twentieth century. The earlier history of the story/ies is complex, but Theophan drew it closer to Orthodoxy, not least through the introduction of the spiritual father.
Eucharistic Doctrine and Eucharistic Devotion
Authors: Louth Andrew 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Would agreement between Orthodox and Catholics over doctrinal matters lead to union? For there still might be differences of ethos, manifest, e.g., in different forms of Eucharistic devotion. Among Catholics the Eucharistic presence of Christ has led to various practices based on the enduring presence of Christ in the Eucharistic elements: from customary veneration of Christ’s presence on the altar to extra-liturgical services, such as Benediction. None of this is found among the Orthodox. It could be argued that the Lenten Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts forms a parallel, but there significant differences: it is liturgical, not extra-liturgical; it is not just the presence that is celebrated, but the completion of the Eucharistic sacrifice; nor is it a still presence that is contemplated, but the presence of one who comes—the procession is integral; and Christ comes to be received in Holy Communion. How much do these difference matter?
Introduction
Authors: Soon Isaac T. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces readers to the history of interpreting Paul’s disabilities and a socio-cultural model of disability. While scholars have usually understood Paul to have been disabled, the specifics of his disability have evaded analysis. Interpreters have focused largely on conceptions of disability and bodily weakness more generally, with some noting whether knowledge of Paul’s physical body would be important at all. This chapter introduces a socio-cultural model of disability, a framework for understanding disability beyond medical and social models. It outlines the methodological approach of the book at hand. First Paul’s physical condition is analysed, followed by an examination of that condition in its ancient Jewish and/or Graeco-Roman context. Finally, Paul’s letters are reread in light of Paul’s physical condition.
Demons as Disability
Authors: Soon Isaac T. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that demonic forces were not only impaired bodies but that they generated negative cultural effects that signal that they were disabilities. While illness and demonic oppression were synonymous, this chapter re-mythologizes ancient conceptions of demonic forces, arguing that we should not psychologize or metaphorize them for ancient authors like Paul. Demonic forces were debilitated human bodies and required a variety of technologies to manage the demonic, such as incantations, prayers, and apotropaic objects. This suggests that demons were impairments. The wider negative social and cultural effects they had on persons signalled their disability. They generated stigma, liminality, jeopardized masculinity, and stirred violence.
The Smallest of All Apostles
Authors: Soon Isaac T. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that Paul uses his short stature for a variety of rhetorical ends in 1 Corinthians. One end is to highlight his least-among-the-apostle status, that he is an unlikely person in both body and reputation to serve the Messiah as a herald to the Gentiles. Another end is to depict his ministry as one of weakness in strength; he is a short-statured boxer punching himself in the face or a gladiator fighting beasts in Ephesus. While such mental images seem comical at first, especially given his short stature in an ancient context, the reality is that Paul portrays his ministry as a violent agonistic competition.
Care and Disposable Bodies
Authors: DeFalco Amelia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Waste is matter that does not seem to require care, except when it threatens the health or survival of “legitimate” humans. As a result, caring for discarded matter can be a form of resistance in the most basic sense, a refusal to abide by sociocultural norms of affective attention and ethical concern. Chapter 3 explores the ethical and political significance of disposable matter and what can happen when one treats waste as worthy of care. In dialogue with waste and discard studies, queer animacies, Indigenous and critical race studies, the chapter analyzes two novels—Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake—that imagine biotechnological bodies engineered for extraction and disposal. These texts explore the consequences of caring for and about discarded bodies, highlighting the political significance of posthuman care as a disturbance of the humanist valuations that perpetuate colonial hierarchies of matter.
Pricing Lives
Authors: Colonomos Ariel 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This book discusses the equating of human lives with the material and argues that pricing lives lies at the core of the political. Indeed, as in Plato or Hobbes as well as in the Weberian ethics of responsibility, measurement is considered to be one of the central features of the political. This book argues that this measure relies primarily on two goods: human lives and interests. It also argues that the material equivalence to lives is twofold. Such equivalence is a double equation, as we pay for lives and we pay with lives. This double equation is constitutive of the measurement upon which the political equilibrium of a society depends and, as such, is constitutive of the political. The book adopts two approaches: one explanatory and the other normative. First, its purpose is to explain the nexus between existential goods and material goods and includes a thorough analysis of several case studies drawn from contemporary politics both domestic and international. Second, it discusses normatively the material valuation of human lives and the human value of material goods. The book relies upon interdisciplinary thinking as the material equivalent to lives is not only extremely relevant for political theory and philosophy, it is of great relevance for law. Great works of literature such as Shakespeare’s plays are also excellent political illustrations of the importance of pricing lives we can learn from. Value attribution is an important question in the social sciences, notably in sociology, history, and international relations.
A political theory of the victim
Authors: Colonomos Ariel 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Paying for lives—i.e. making concessions with one’s own interests either short term or long term in order to save lives—is the main trait of a philanthropic order. It is a facet of the state that can coexist with patriarchal power within one single state unit. While doing so, in the context of philanthropism, the liberal state interacts with the community and the market when weighing lives. Philanthropy is often thought to be the domain of private institutions and individuals who ‘do good’. This chapter shows that this need not always be the case, as states may also decide to display ‘philanthropic power’ to which the material equivalence to lives lies at core. While discussing the issue of reparations and notably the case of the 9/11 reparations claims, this chapter addresses the issue of non-commensurability of goods and values.
Empty Places
Authors: Rich Kelly M. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 examines Alan Hollinghurst’s The Swimming-Pool Library (1988), an example of a late twentieth-century phenomenon this chapter calls “the century novel”: a variation of the historical novel that often locates narrative conflict around the Second World War. Hollinghurst’s version encrypts the postwar period as its hidden source of narrative trauma, revealing the exclusionary power of postwar reconstruction and the institutionalized homophobia of the 1950s and 1960s. Though Hollinghurst counters this history by embracing mobile practices of queer intimacy, he also relies on the spatialized, welfarist logic of reconstruction to imagine a better life for queer people, turning to spaces such as gyms, prisons, and colonial outposts to facilitate alternative forms of community and caretaking. These sites promise a different orientation to historical trauma, working against a reparative mandate while suggesting a relationship to history that maintains queerness’s promise and precarity. The chapter then closes with a consideration of Hollinghurst’s other century novels: The Stranger’s Child (2011) and The Sparsholt Affair (2018).
Theoretical Perspectives on Interactions between Indigenous Peoples and Mining
Authors: O'Faircheallaigh Ciaran 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter critically reviews theoretical literature that offers understandings of, and explanations for, interactions between Indigenous peoples, the mining industry, and the state. It includes neo-Marxist theories positing the inevitability of state support for business in any contest over Indigenous resources and land; ‘modernization’ theories of development predicting that mining will generate economic and social opportunities and so over time transform Indigenous societies in a positive fashion; and regulation theory, which argues that both Marxist and modernization theories are flawed, that contemporary capitalism is fluid and dynamic, and that nations and communities can engage with the world capitalist economy in quite different ways depending on their ‘modes of social regulation’. It then discusses neo-liberal governance theory, which considers that the world is in a particular juncture in which Indigenous peoples are being offered the opportunity to engage with the mining industry, but that because the state is failing to protect the interest of its Indigenous peoples, this engagement is only available on terms deleterious to them.
Managing the Negative Impacts of Mining on Indigenous Lands and Peoples
Authors: O'Faircheallaigh Ciaran 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The impact of mineral exploration and development on the lands and cultures that are at the heart of Indigenous existence is highly contentious and explains why Indigenous peoples frequently oppose mining. This chapter highlights the environmental and cultural issues involved throughout the mine life cycle, including the ‘legacy issues’ that often remain after mineral extraction ends. It notes the inadequacy of state regulation in dealing with threats to Indigenous lands and livelihoods, which provides a key part of the context for Indigenous initiatives aimed at preventing and managing negative impacts. These include the conduct of Indigenous social, cultural, and environmental impact assessments to identify expected impacts of mining and develop strategies to minimize them; and growing Indigenous involvement in impact monitoring and management, and in planning for mine closure.
Neopragmatism and Logic
Authors: Shapiro Lionel 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Logical vocabulary can serve as a target for neopragmatist inquiry, and it has also posed obstacles to neopragmatist accounts of other vocabulary. This chapter argues that the obstacles can be addressed by adopting a neopragmatist perspective toward logical relations, such as logical consequence, and toward propositional content. Doing so calls into question two purported constraints on neopragmatist explanations of the functions of logical connectives. Rejecting the constraints, I sketch an account on which logical connectives express dialectical dispositions. The proposal is deflationary in two ways: it rests on an extension of deflationism from truth to logical relations, and it aims to deflate some of neopragmatists’ theoretical ambitions.
The Subject Matter of “Subject Matter” and General Jurisprudence
Authors: Sciaraffa Stefan 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
A number of prominent legal theorists are committed or open to the following thesis (MD): (1) Dworkinian non-positivist and Hartian positivist legal theories traffic in shared legal terms, but they do not thereby address a shared subject matter; (2) Hartian and Dworkinian theorists disagree about how they ought to use legal terms. This chapter enlists a variant of neopragmatic theory, pragmatic inferentialism, in service of two main objectives. First, it defends the following metasemantic non-positivist thesis: in crucial contexts, the subject matter of an expression is determined by how speakers ought to use the expression. Second, the chapter argues that MD is false, for it speaks to a metasemantic non-positivist context and, yet, it presupposes the truth of metasemantic positivism. In this same vein, the chapter defends an alternative to MD’s characterization of the framing and stakes of the debate between Hartian and Dworkininan legal theorists.
Introduction
Authors: Taylor Helena , Cox Fiona 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The Introduction sets out the key aims of this book: to reveal lesser-known voices in Ovidian reception studies, particularly by shifting the focus onto French and francophone writing and culture, and to contribute a wider historical perspective to the complex question of Ovid and gender. It emphasizes the value of a historical and non-Anglophone perspective for understandings of both Ovid’s reception and (proto-)feminist writing, showing how a longer view allows us to explore and challenge the notion of a female tradition of Ovidian reception. The first half of the Introduction examines Ovid’s representations of women and gender and the divided scholarship on this topic, set against a broader survey of feminist responses to Classics. In the second half, the Introduction offers an overview of Ovid’s reception in French, situating the authors and texts studied in this volume in context, from the medieval Christine de Pizan’s criticisms of Ovidian misogyny to Céline Sciamma’s evocation of Ovid in her 2019 film Portrait de la jeune fille en feu. Finally, the Introduction reflects on new directions in Ovidian reception studies, as demonstrated by Marie Cosnay’s eco-critical response to the Metamorphoses in this volume’s epilogue.
Women’s Wit
Authors: Herdman Emma 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the challenges faced by early modern women wishing to engage with Ovid, whose licentious wit is often at their expense and whose tales were frequently interpreted in ways that are invidious to women. It takes Ovid’s tale of Envy and Aglaurus, in Metamorphoses 2, as an example both of the misogynist moralizing tradition that denied women easy access to Ovid, and of women’s resistance to that tradition. First, it analyses Ovid’s Aglaurus as a figure of opposition and of unlicensed knowledge, whose tale becomes an early modern fable about female curiosity and indiscretion, and the consequent need for women to be kept in silence and ignorance. It then focuses on Madeleine and Catherine des Roches, whose works (1578–86) resist this tradition and incorporate subtle, allusive references to Ovid into their sustained advocacy of women’s education and literary self-expression. The chapter argues that the Dames des Roches’s depictions of Aglaurus and Envy ally moral correction with wit: the Ovidian allusiveness with which Madeleine refers to Aglaurus demonstrates not female indiscretion but the learned reticence she advocates, while Catherine’s Ovidian itemizations of the female body make it enviable as a site not of eroticism but of chaste knowledge. The Dames des Roches’s playful engagement with Ovid thus opposes those who would deny women speech or knowledge, and who would use Ovid to do so: their alliance of womanly decorum with Ovidian wit reclaims women’s access both to Ovid and to the literary cachet that reference to his works brings.
Madeleine de L’Aubespine’s Translation of Heroides 2
Authors: DeVos Jessica 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Praising his fille d’alliance, Pierre de Ronsard claims that Madeleine de L’Aubespine’s literary talents surpass those of her male contemporaries. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in her translation of Heroides 2. L’Aubespine’s version of Phyllis’ epistle to Demophoon showcases her skills as a Latinist, translator, and poet. Yet to date there have been no published studies analysing her translation. This essay aims to give long overdue critical attention to L’Aubespine’s version of Heroides 2, situating it within the French Renaissance project of literary nation building. The introduction presents an overview of the place of the Heroides in sixteenth-century French literary culture, and the remainder of the chapter is dedicated to a close analysis of key passages in L’Aubespine’s poem, examined alongside the work of her male contemporaries.
Belle and Fidèle? Women Translating Ovid in Early Modern France
Authors: Taylor Helena 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This essay offers a comparative analysis of three early modern versions of Laodamia’s letter to Protesilaus, Heroides 13. It places the versions by Marie de Gournay (1626), Madeleine de Scudéry and her brother, Georges (1642), and Marie-Jeanne L’Héritier (1732) in the context of significant cultural changes occurring in France at this time: in translation practice, with the emergence of the ‘belles infidèles’ (unfaithful beauties); in the reception of antiquity; and in the literary field, with the rise of salon culture. Focusing on the motif of faithfulness, as both a female virtue and (an unfashionable) translation practice, it argues that translations of Laodamia reveal the complex aesthetic and ethical demands placed on women in the public sphere. By examining how these authors responded to each other, it shows that while there is an alternative, non-male history of early modern Ovidian reception, it was not necessarily constructed as such at the time.

Authors: Allen Frances , Gasparro Julia , Swaney Jo , Phelan Margaret , Gillespie James 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter tackles the provisions of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. It elaborates on the notions of the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal, which exercise the functions conferred on it under the virtue of the Act with its respective judges and other members. Additionally, the Senior President of Tribunals is to preside over both the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal. The chapter clarifies that the Upper Tribunal is to be a superior court of record. The Lord Chancellor may, with the concurrence of the Senior President of Tribunals, by order make provision for the organisation of each of the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal into several chambers.
