Irish Modernism and the Politics of Sexual Health
Authors: Houston Lloyd (Meadhbh) 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Irish Modernism and the Politics of Sexual Health explores the politicized role of sexual health as a concept, discourse, and subject of debate within Irish literary culture from 1880 to 1960. Combining perspectives from Irish Studies, Modernist Studies, and the Social History of Medicine, it traces the ways in which authors, politicians, and activists in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ireland harnessed debates over sexual hygiene, venereal disease, birth control, fertility, and eugenics to envisage competing models of Irish identity, culture, and political community. Analysing the work of canonical authors (Yeats, Synge, Shaw, Joyce, Beckett, Flann O’Brien) and less often discussed figures (George Moore, Oliver Gogarty, Signe Toksvig, Kate O’Brien) in conversation with medical, scientific, and legal writing on sexual health, it charts how the medicalization and politicization of sex informed the emergence and development of modernism in Ireland. At the same time, by reading this literary material alongside the polemical and journalistic writing of figures such as Arthur Griffith, Maud Gonne, and Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington, it also reveals the ways in which key events in Irish cultural and political history—the Parnell Split, the Limerick Pogrom, the Playboy riots, the passage of the Censorship of Publications Act—were shaped by ongoing debates and dilemmas in the field of sexual health. This book will benefit students, researchers, and readers interested in the history of sex and its regulation in modern Ireland, the impact of sex and medicine on Irish political history, and the nature of modernism’s engagement with sex, health, and the body.
Disappearing and Resurfacing
Authors: Bateman Benjamin 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Famous for its flamboyant portrayal of disco culture in 1970s New York City, Andrew Holleran’s Dancer from the Dance has become a fictional touchstone for prelapsarian gay life unspoiled by HIV and AIDS. This chapter turns the novel’s reputation on its head, arguing that the novel’s sexual excesses are counterbalanced by episodes of withdrawal necessitated by acute anxieties about illness and overexposure. As these anxieties build in and around the central character of Malone, the novel’s layered narrative creates varying degrees of separation between Malone and his many admirers, previewing a vision of gay community nurtured by deferral and distance. Thinking with Giorgio Agamben’s work on the imaginative possibilities of melancholia, the chapter contends that Holleran’s novel offers vital support to queer people spaced apart and dispirited by viral pandemics and epidemics.
Domestic Laws and Emergency Measures
Authors: Bennett Belinda , Freckelton Ian , Wolf Gabrielle 
Published: February 2023

AbstractChapter 5, ‘Domestic Laws and Emergency Measures’, focuses on national responses to the COVID-19 pandemic within domestic law. It reviews the measures that have been implemented domestically in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and their legal and ethical implications. The chapter begins with an analysis of emergency laws, including the relevance of international law to restrictions on rights during emergencies, and the challenges for parliaments of law-making during the pandemic. The remaining sections of the chapter analyse the various measures that have been introduced in response to the pandemic. The measures reviewed are: travel restrictions; quarantine and isolation; lockdowns and stay-at-home orders; curfews; physical distancing requirements; wearing of face masks; mandatory vaccination; and vaccination passports. The chapter finishes with a review of COVID-19 testing, contact tracing, and wastewater surveillance.
Criminal Justice Issues and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Bennett Belinda , Freckelton Ian , Wolf Gabrielle 
Published: February 2023

AbstractChapter 8, ‘Criminal Justice Issues and the COVID-19 Pandemic’, examines some important examples of significant changes in criminal justice systems that the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to reduce its detrimental impact have prompted. It also explores their ramifications for human rights and the rule of law. The chapter reviews changes to substantive aspects of criminal justice systems during the pandemic, including criminalization of conduct that has threatened to exacerbate the health crisis, and shifts in the incidence and type of crimes committed. In addition, this chapter considers alterations to procedural aspects of criminal justice systems in response to the pandemic. In particular, it examines some disruptions to means of obtaining legal assistance, investigations of allegations of criminal offending, and hearing of criminal law matters. It discusses, too, issues of bail and sentencing relevant to COVID-19 and some changes to decision-making about incarcerating those charged with, or convicted of, criminal offending in response to the substantial risk of transmission of COVID-19 within prisons.
COVID-19 and Workplace and Occupational Health and Safety
Authors: Bennett Belinda , Freckelton Ian , Wolf Gabrielle 
Published: February 2023

AbstractChapter 10, ‘COVID-19 and Workplace and Occupational Health and Safety’, engages with issues of workplace safety, including occupational health and safety. It examines changes that have taken place during the COVID-19 pandemic to the operation of workplaces, including the adoption of working from home arrangements for many workers and hybrid arrangements for others. The chapter discusses how this experience has prompted questioning of occupational health and safety obligations for employers and employees in the context of a pandemic, as well as during the period when risks remain in spite of high levels of vaccination in some countries. This chapter reflects upon the measures that have been taken to protect particular categories of workers, including healthcare workers, but also the obligations imposed on other categories of workers who have significant contact with the public for the protection of both the public and the workers. The chapter also explores issues raised in many countries about the mandatory vaccination of workers and the extent to which employers can require such preconditions to participation in the workplace.
Prologue
Authors: Soares Claudia 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Children’s care and child abuse is a topical issue following recent welfare cuts, press reports, and public inquiries about children’s homes and child abuse historically. As the number of looked after children continues to grow and the number of residential care placements declines, the prologue to this book outlines shifting ideas about children’s homes and the roles that they should perform and locates anxieties about children’s nurture in wider historical context. In charting the continuity and change in debates about children’s care, the prologue highlights the rationale for examining 1870–1920 as a key moment in the development of children’s care, when legislation gave greater powers to agencies to intervene in family life, and the quality and nature of children’s care was being debated in Parliament. The prologue also sets out the foundations for examining the key narratives of home and family in children’s institutional care as central and organizing dimensions to this book, instead of the common themes of reform, discipline, and citizenship that other studies have focused on. The perception of the need to provide a ‘home’ and ‘family’ to pauper children arose primarily from a skewed vision about the interpersonal, material, and moral conditions of working-class families: middle-class welfare and social commentators were increasingly concerned with the unhealthy and immoral ‘slum’ life of the lower classes and the absence of affection, attachment, and sentimentality, particularly towards their children.
Feeling at Home?
Authors: Soares Claudia 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The publication of advice manuals on how to tastefully decorate the middle-class home in the most fashionable and meaningful ways proliferated during the second half of the nineteenth century. Shifting attitudes towards the ‘house beautiful’ and a growing aesthetic movement that valued domestic virtue gave new meaning and status to the home and influenced patterns of middle-class homemaking. The increasing affluence of the middle classes, too, meant that new pride was taken in acquiring and displaying material items that communicated and symbolized the owners’ identity, character, and status. This aesthetic movement was not exclusive to the middle-class home, however. This chapter takes forward issues raised in recent scholarship on institutional material culture, to show how ‘homely’ ideals were also translated into the children’s institution, an issue which has not yet received scholarly attention. It examines how the spatial arrangement and material culture helped to create a sense of home for institutional inhabitants and highlights the relationship between institutional authority practices in relation to home life, which is an area that has not yet been explored. This chapter therefore redresses this gap in knowledge by bringing the children’s welfare institution into new scholarship on material culture and domesticity in institutional settings in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In doing so, it offers new understandings of a different strand of welfare provision for children that held particular cultural and ideological meaning, beyond aspects of institutional discipline and reform.
Friends and Mentors in The Wind in the Willows, Charlotte’s Web, and Bambi
Authors: Guroian Vigen 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This chapter looks at friendship themes in The Wind in the Willows, Charlotte’s Web, and Bambi. It notes how friendships tend to involve virtue and moral imagination among people, especially children. The Wind in the Willows depicts friendship as a situation where no one friend is superior and each friend still benefits from everyone’s own unique gift. Charlotte’s Web features a mentoral friendship that demonstrates a fundamental inequality in friendship but still l mutual affection. Bambi covers the theme of aloneness and the relationship of pure mentorship that is able to resolve the crisis of morality and culture.
The Triumph of Beauty in “The Nightingale” and “The Ugly Duckling”
Authors: Guroian Vigen 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This chapter tackles the triumph of beauty in the narratives of “The Nightingale” and “The Ugly Duckling.” While Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Nightingale” considers the themes of love, death, immortality, and beauty, “The Ugly Duckling” showcases the transformative power of a love for beauty. The Gospel resonates across “The Nightingale,” especially in terms of Jesus repeatedly admonishing recipients of his kindness for boasting about his deeds to others. On the other hand, in “The Ugly Duckling” Andersen portrayed his romanticism through the theme of beauty in nature, which owed a lot to his Christian faith. Unlike in other fairy tales, the duckling’s beauty was simply part of biology instead of the product of fantastical magic.
The Goodness of Goodness
Authors: Guroian Vigen 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This chapter looks into how “Cinderella” and The King of the Golden River embodied the concepts of goodness and happiness in line with the ideals of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. According to Bruno Bettelheim, virtue could be learned through narratives. While Disney used Charles Perrault’s version for their animated film, Perrault portrayed Cinderella as certainly good and inherently passive. This contrasts with the Grimms’ depiction of Cinderella forging her destiny, though not without help. The Grimms’ narrative draws from the biblical story of salvation. Similarly, The King of the Golden River’s Gluck rose from poverty to prosperity and happiness through resourcefulness.
For Liberty
Authors: Brennan Jason 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis chapter considers evidence and arguments that democracy has a special relationship to liberty, either because democracies tend to promote civil and economic freedom, or because democracy is itself an important kind of freedom. Constant argues that the ancients regarded freedom as the right of equal participation, but Raaflaub argues that this is a mistake and the ancients in fact defended individual civil and economic rights. Republican theories hold that constitutional democracy can protect citizens from domination. Rousseau argues that democracy can create a system in which each person is bound by the law and yet at the same time is only bound by rules they set for themselves. The chapter ends by considering the empirical evidence that as a matter of fact, democracies protect freedom better than other systems.
Against Equality
Authors: Brennan Jason 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis chapter considers and reviews arguments skeptical of the claim that democracy instantiates equality, or skeptical that equality is good. Tocqueville argues that democratic egalitarianism leads to a pernicious culture of conformity, and that in democracies, citizens oppress each other by forcing politics into everything. Lenin argues that social change requires an intellectual vanguard and that the masses will not work toward their interests on their own. Contemporary public choice economics shows that representative democracy enables significant rent seeking and minority interest groups to exploit the majority. The demographic objection to democracy holds that democracies allow the majority to exploit or mistreat minorities even though these minority citizens have equal individual power. Finally, the chapter considers whether democratic nation-states contribute to worldwide inequality by preventing immigration and trapping the world’s worst-off people in badly governed countries. Perhaps democracies create equality inside their borders but then cause inequality overall.
Introduction
Authors: Jordan Daniel David 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis introduction begins with a brief synopsis of the book while underscoring the Sección Femenina’s legacy within contemporary cultural memory in Spain. It then proceeds to outline how foundational myths, musical folklore, and ideas of peasantry have shaped diverse concepts of Hispanidad (Spanishness), raza española, and regionalism in the years leading to and during the Franco regime. Nonspecialists of twentieth-century Spanish history are provided with a basic understanding of the different ideological and territorial aspirations that motivated the nation’s politics of the 1940s and 1950s. After this historical background, the introduction discusses the Franco regime’s disparate approaches to religious and national identities.
Ethnicity, Race, Country of Origin, and the Challenges of Antidiscrimination Claims for Migrant Workers
Authors: Boucher Anna K. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In 2007, a fourteen-year-old domestic worker from Nigeria, Mary Hounga, was trafficked into the United Kingdom, racially vilified by her employers, and then rendered homeless. She was later rescued by a British charity. Chapter 3 works with the case of Hounga v. Allen to show how ethnic background can intersect with class and gender to heighten workplace vulnerability. It demonstrates that Anglo-Celtic and European migrants are generally underrepresented as claimants, while Spanish-speaking and Mexican migrants in California are overrepresented. Furthermore, the quantitative data from the MWRD challenge the notion that exploitation is commonly produced by employers of the same ethnic group; this is in fact rarely the case among human (as opposed to corporate) employers and employees. The relationship between immigration selection and ethnic background is another important consideration.
Decertification, Blacklisting, and Circular Migration
Authors: Boucher Anna K. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In the series of Floralia Plant Growers Ltd. v. United Food and Commercial Workers Union (2008, 2015, 2016) cases, a group of Mexican farm workers in British Columbia, Canada, were involved in almost a decade of litigation to enforce organizing rights in their workplace. Attempts to limit the organizing included the decertification of their union, blacklisting of union members by the Mexican Consulate in Vancouver, and recruitment of other workforces to replace unionized workers. Many of these claims were strongly contested by the employer. Migrant workers, who often move between work locations and countries, can also challenge traditional methods of trade union mobilizing, as was the case in Floralia Plant Growers. Comparative data from the MWRD across the six jurisdictions explore rates of trade union representation among migrants and compares this with sector-specific trade union data for each jurisdiction to see if union members are under- or overrepresented compared with national averages.
Neoliberalism
Authors: Billings Linda 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
“Neoliberalism: Problematic. Neoliberal Space Policy? Extremely Problematic” provides a critique of the neoliberal ideology of space exploration, which is dominant in US spaceflight culture. Neoliberal values (private property rights, “free enterprise,” and unlimited growth) are driving US spaceflight endeavors, whether they be public or private. This ideology sustains the US space policy goal of maintaining American space dominance. And it marginalizes the rights of other nations, as, according to the United Nations Treaty on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, “the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries and shall be the province of all humankind; that outer space shall be free for exploration and use by all states; and that outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means.”
Protecting Labor Rights in Space
Authors: Nesvold Erika 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
“Protecting Labor Rights in Space” interrogates three historical analogies that are commonly used in the context of the growing space industry, in order to anticipate potential labor rights abuses of future space workers. The environment of space—remote, deadly, and requiring extensive technological support for survival and transportation—poses unusually dangerous challenges to the labor rights of space workers. This chapter explores the experiences of workers in similar environments on Earth, from the Chinese laborers who built the transcontinental railroad in the United States to migrant fishermen in modern Thailand. It also describes the need to address labor abuses that occur in space-related and space-adjacent industries today, to set both a moral example and a legal precedent in this new and growing industry.
Procedural memory
Authors: Budson Andrew E. , Kensinger Elizabeth A. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Work on learning the right way the first time so that you don’t have bad habits that you need to correct. Once you know the right thing to do, practice, practice, practice. As long as you are practicing correctly, all skills improve with practice. Use feedback to improve your practice and your performance. Whatever skill you are doing, continue working with a teacher or coach for optimal performance. Space out your practice to optimize offline learning. Minimize interference by avoiding practicing another similar skill the same day that may interfere with what you wish to learn. When you practice, start with an easier task and build up to the more difficult ones. Vary your practice so that you will be able to perform at your best under a variety of conditions.
Working memory

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Pay attention. Attention is the foundation of working memory, so there is nothing more important than paying attention if you are trying to improve your working memory. Don’t multitask! Turn off your cellphone, the television, and other distractions when you are trying to keep information in mind. Start by focusing on your sensations and keeping them in mind if you want to remember the sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and touches that you are experiencing. Chunk information together when needed to keep it all in mind—particularly if there are more than three or four parts. You’re going to have difficulty keeping information in mind if you are anxious or stressed. Although you don’t want to be anxious, neither do you want to be too laid back. Practicing mindfulness meditation is one way to improve your ability to consciously, actively, pay attention to what you want to.
Get it into your memory—and keep it there
Authors: Budson Andrew E. , Kensinger Elizabeth A. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Use effort to help you learn and remember the FOUR principles of learning: Focus attention on the content you want to remember; organize the material in ways that it will be easier to remember; understand what you want to remember; and relate the information to things you already know, or topics you care about. Make information stand out: Imbue it with emotion, make it distinctive, involve the senses, and make it important to you. Build a strong memory. Memories tend to become less vivid over time, but you can build up a memory that will retain the important details. One way to retain those details is to study them multiple times, and in multiple ways.
Associate information
Authors: Budson Andrew E. , Kensinger Elizabeth A. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses the importance of associating bits of information to enhance memory. Attend to the details you want to remember. Link the details together. It’s hard to create a mental structure that consists of unrelated content, so put in the effort to connect the details. Try different retrieval cues. As you try to find your keys, imagine yourself coming home earlier or actually retrace your footsteps as you walked in the door. Stay calm. Stress is particularly harmful for constructing—and reconstructing—memory structures that contain all the relevant details. Of course, it can be difficult to stay calm as you’re rushing to find your misplaced keys or feeling uneasy when you can’t recall where you met someone. But take a deep breath, remember that memory lapses like these are common and often transient, and focus on what you can do in the moment—like trying those different retrieval cues.
Introduction
Authors: Knyt Erinn E. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The introduction discusses Busoni’s aesthetic views about material and spatial aspects of musical tones. In addition, it addresses Busoni’s historiographic significance as a composer. In particular, it positions Busoni’s ideas and compositions within recent scholarly discourse about modernism in music. It shows that even if Busoni remained closely connected to past musical traditions, he simultaneously contributed to contemporary ideals of fragmentation, a bringing together of the arts, an expansion of the tonal language, and an exploration of new timbres, textures, and formal structures. In so doing, it presents Busoni’s compositional approach as multifaceted and situates Busoni’s idiosyncratic musical voice among a plurality of musical modernisms.
