Published: September 2022

Abstract
Emperor Goose (Anser canagicus) harvest in Alaska was re-opened in 2017 after a 30-year closure, but goose numbers available for a sustainable harvest remain limited. We used a Delphi process, an iterative group communication technique, to elicit expert opinion across 3 successive survey rounds to identify priorities for research, harvest management, and conservation of Emperor Goose. We identified 115 potential participants representing research and management by federal and state agencies, universities, Alaska Native representation in management, and non-governmental conservation organizations. Seventy participants responded to the first survey round (response rate = 61%). We compared responses between 4 participant groups to identify diverse perspectives. All groups, except Native Management, rated the impacts of spring–summer hunting on the Emperor Goose population more highly than impacts of fall–winter hunting. In round 1, the top-rated information and research priorities focused on harvest assessment. In the following rounds, refining survival estimates and population survey methods for Emperor Goose emerged as the two top-ranked research priorities. Improving education and outreach for hunters was the top-ranked conservation and harvest management priority. Formally identifying areas of agreement and disagreement among stakeholders is key for collaborative management, especially with contentious topics, although this step is often overlooked. The Delphi process allowed us to broaden perspectives by including individuals beyond the core entities involved with Emperor Goose management. Because stakeholder groups and individuals may provide input in diverse ways and at differing rates, ensuring that management processes have complementary paths for participation and decision-making helps safeguard against the shortcomings of individual processes. This study will inform ongoing discussions in the context of the revision of the Emperor Goose management plans led by committees within the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council and the Pacific Flyway Council.
Australia’s First People

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Mainland Australia was connected to New Guinea and Tasmania at various times throughout the Pleistocene and formed the supercontinent of Sahul. Sahul contains some of the earliest known archaeological evidence for Homo sapiens outside of Africa, with a growing record of early complex social, technological, and artistic life. Here we present an overview of the oldest known sites in Australia along with key evidence pertaining to the dynamic cultures of early Aboriginal peoples. We review debates surrounding the age of first settlement and present evidence for the earliest technology, economy, and symbolism in Australia, emphasizing maritime skills, a large founding population size, novel technology, and adaptation to a wide range of environments.
Audi Alteram Partem
Authors: Rousselière Geneviève 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Republicanism endorses popular control on government through the discursive practices of deliberation and contestation. The motto Audi alteram partem (Listen to the other side), central to the rhetorical tradition, came to be representative of the republican rejection of authoritarian power. However, since republicanism is first committed to the defense of freedom as nondomination and the public good, its support of rhetoric is conditional on its projected role in advancing this ideal. This chapter focuses on the role of rhetoric in fostering free institutions in the works of Cicero, Rousseau, Skinner and Pettit.
The Power and Peril of Names
Authors: Keys Mary M. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter offers an overview of the roles of rhetoric in the politics, culture, and pedagogy of the late Roman Empire and in the life of Augustine of Hippo. It considers The City of God in particular, focusing first on difficulties of audience, dialogue, and persuasion; second, on the power and peril of language and names in both political and philosophic life; and third, on Augustine’s artful use of rhetorical and literary forms to question and invert certain civic values of the late classical Roman world.
Film Theory as Ideology Critique (after Trump)
Authors: Baumbach Nico 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In American academia, for roughly the last half-century, until quite recently, film theory and ideology critique were so closely associated as to be nearly synonymous. In the last decade, however, as vernacular forms of critique have become more mainstream on social media, academic film and media studies has, by and large, retreated from the project of ideology critique. This chapter argues for the need for a revitalized ideological criticism in the post-Trump age. With that in mind, it maps out a number of the ways that older traditions of ideology critique in film studies need to be rethought in the current moment when moving images must be understood within a new media ecology. When we consider how images circulate within the new information economy dominated by the internet and social media platforms, the conceptual limitations of both political modernist and cultural studies analyses (central to earlier periods of ideology critique in film studies) become clear. This chapter describes these limitations along with the inadequacy of the newer forms of postcritique. It then attempts to lay the groundwork for a rethinking of ideology critique today. In the process, it also makes the case for the value of a robust conception of ideology critique to think through the politics of film and media today.
In Defense of Psychoanalytic Film Theory
Authors: Young Damon Ross 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The cinema—whose technological capacity to document reality is often said to form its “ontology”—is just as fundamentally an art (and technology) of fantasy. For this reason, this chapter argues that cinema as a historically specific technical medium—indeed, the dominant cultural medium of the twentieth century—requires a psychoanalytic theory: not only because cinema and psychoanalysis emerge concurrently at the end of the nineteenth century, as part of the same techno-historical-economic assemblage, but also because psychoanalysis offers the most robust theory of fantasy, in both its conscious and unconscious dimensions. In the decades since its advent, psychoanalytic film theory has been repeatedly dismissed as dogmatic and self-fulfilling, allegedly knowing in advance what it is going to find. Against this view, the chapter argues that psychoanalysis remains a critical lens through which to consider the cinema as apparatus, even at the moment of its technological transformation. Through examples from early and recent cinema, the chapter examines the mechanics of how cinema technologizes fantasy, showing why it is important to move beyond empiricist accounts (whether of infrastructures, aesthetics, or affects). It is no surprise that psychoanalytic film theory has been so closely conjoined with feminist and queer film theory from the outset. Indeed, the chapter ultimately argues that a theory of cinematic fantasy is a queer theory of cinema.
Standing Up Too Close or Back Too Far?
Authors: Martin Adrian 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Contemporary popular culture is awash with particular forms of interpretation, such as “drilling down” into subtexts, and the explication of mysterious narrative worlds in film and TV. Vulgarized approaches they may be, but they allow a path into the history of forms of film analysis performed by critics and scholars, forms defined, variously, as close or distant, deep or superficial, interpretive or descriptive. This essay traces the influence of New Criticism, structuralism and poststructuralism, digital data mining and other trends upon the various movements and schools of film analysis, and also considers the changing technology that aids and shapes its practice.
An Invention with a Future
Authors: Hanich Julian 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Since it is first and foremost the cinema that enables—or at least facilitates—concentrated and focused film experiences, this article makes a strong plea for the ongoing importance of the movie theater as a vital cultural practice and social institution. Although we better engage some films privately and alone at home, we do better to watch other films in the public space of the cinema and in the company of others. The latter is especially the case for challenging modernist art films, slow cinema, avant-garde films, and the like. Among the phenomena that make me think so is “joint deep attention.” Due to its spatial and technological features, the cinema allows us to follow more challenging films with deep attention, in part because of the co-presence of other viewers: Their deep attention can contagiously rub off on ours and help us keep focused. Tentative evidence for the contagious joint-deep-attention effect of the cinema exists in empirical studies dealing with analogous experiences: studying in a library and collectively meditating in a meditation retreat. But apart from the social aspect of the movie theater, three further characteristics of the cinema dispositive contribute, at least implicitly, to the joint-deep-attention effect, characteristics hardly available when we watch a DVD or stream a film at home: its nonmundane space, the impossibility of manipulating the film, and the silence of the auditorium. The chapter revisits—and positively reevaluates—these features as forms of freedom: from the everyday, from having to act, and from noise.
Feminist Film Theory on the Brink of Laughter
Authors: Hennefeld Maggie 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
One might say that feminist film theory has been on the brink of laughter since its inception. By that I mean, feminist film theory (though often very playful and humorous in tone) has regarded laughter with the utmost suspicion, and with good reason. When laughs erupt onscreen, they are rarely helpful for women, if not actively demeaning and disempowering. It is no surprise that the field has favored virtually every other genre than comedy—melodrama, film noir, Western, musical, thriller, the avant-garde, horror, animation, porn—for sourcing aesthetic invigoration and political redemption. If feminist film theory has been wary of comedy, feminist comedy studies, likewise, has been relatively uninterested in cinema. It is my goal in this chapter to bridge the gap between feminist film theory and feminist comedy studies, which have had extremely different concerns despite pursuing often complementary aesthetic and political ends. These fields are long overdue for a methodological reckoning. In this chapter, I consider a range of examples in order to reveal the four primo female laughers of cinema. They include the killjoy, the coquette, the prankster, and the hysteric. These figures are not definitive archetypes, but persistent tropes that pose provocations for further conversation and debate. I also find them to be extremely helpful heuristics for getting to the bottom of the problem of female laughter in film. As I will explain, these four cantankerous cachinnators give voice to issues of power, sex, resistance, and language, respectively.
Cinematic Experience
Authors: Sinnerbrink Robert 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Although frequently cited, the idea of “cinematic experience” has proven both productive and elusive. My chapter outlines some of the features, history, and implications of this concept. I offer an historical account of different aspects of this notion (concerning aesthetics, spectatorship, ideology, and embodiment) and a theoretical reflection on its implications and possibilities in relation to both film-philosophy/film theory and contemporary cinematic practices. In particular, I examine the transformation of cinematic experience starting from the traditional notion of aesthetic experience, theoretical inquiry into cinematic spectatorship with its critique of the notion of experience, to the recent turn toward experiential dimensions of cinematic engagement (affect, embodiment, and ethical experience). In conclusion, I consider briefly the impact of new audiovisual technologies, suggesting that the original enthusiastic embrace of cinema as an “experience machine” has returned with the rise of digital media culture.
Film|Video|Essay
Authors: Torlasco Domietta 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
What can the film essay do? I attend to this question by bringing together writings by Theodor Adorno, Max Bense, Hans Richter, and Hito Steyerl, among others, and films by Jean-Luc Godard, Roberto Rossellini, and Agnès Varda. What distinguishes my inquiry is that I propose to consider the essay form as a kind of rhythm. Following Roland Barthes, I understand the latter as a fleeting and fugitive form, a form that escapes capture. As a “manner of flowing” (rhuthmos in pre-Socratic philosophy) rather than a fixed form, the essay articulates not only a manner of knowing but also a mode of being. It pertains to the domain of aesthetic ontology, where it enables the emergence not of subjective or personal viewpoints but, rather, the reconfiguration of the distinction between the subject and the object, the body and the world, and the imaginary and the real.
Empiricism and Film Theory
Authors: Panagia Davide 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this chapter, I articulate an empiricist philosophy of film. My approach is schematic and follows the genre of the annotated summary. I dwell on some writings of Gilbert Simondon, some editing techniques of Jean-Luc Goddard, and the pluralist ontology of Gilles Deleuze, and I show how each contributes to an empiricist theory of film. These contributions are at once philosophical, aesthetic, and political. They are philosophical in their elaboration of a process philosophy of becoming, aesthetic in their attempt to consider the filmic image as something other than an Aristotelian substance, and political in their refusal to accept any specific form of belonging as natural. I conclude that an empiricist theory of film offers a rethinking of the ontological conditions of mediation beyond the causal effectivity of influence.
Archaeology and History of the Subcontinent
Authors: Bandama Foreman 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
South Africa holds a privileged position as one of the few countries with an accessible, long, and “unbroken” history going back to the time of our now extinct prehuman ancestors. From about three million years ago, the nation’s earliest fossil traces are used to create lineages and linkages that connect to the “first people,” a label now ascribed to the foraging (hunting and gathering) Later Stone Age groups. Successive waves of migration and assimilation brought various identities to this southern tip of the continent, starting with Khoe herders, with whom the hunter–gatherer groups had an ambivalent relationship before creolizing into the Khoisan identity. Sedentary Bantu-speaking farmers then arrived several centuries before Europe completed the colonization of this subcontinent, about four hundred year ago. Material remains and scientific models are used to fingerprint these identities in ways that continue not only to trigger debates but also to shed light on the long history of humanity in South Africa. Better still, dedicated materials analyses also suggest novel insights, which peaked during the second millennium CE, when contact with the outside world intensified the existing local and regional networks.
Parameterizing Neural Field Potential Data
Authors: Voytek Bradley 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Traditional frequency analyses assume that power at a given frequency reflects neuronal oscillations at that frequency. There is also the assumption that changes in power track modulations in oscillatory activity at that frequency. However, these assumptions may be incorrect because apparent changes in power at a frequency may be caused by any number of other factors. These include changes in the non-rhythmic, aperiodic “background” exponent or offset, or even a change in the nonsinusoidal waveform shapes of a true oscillation. Thus, it is crucial to carefully parameterize many features of the EEG signal, in both the time and frequency domains, in order to better understand how neural oscillations link to behavior, cognition, perception, and disease. This chapter describes emerging approaches to quantifying these parameters—periodic oscillation shape, frequency, amplitude, and bandwidth, as well as aperiodic exponent and offset—in the EEG.
Time-Frequency Decomposition Methods for Event-Related Potential Analysis
Authors: Aviyente Selin 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) data is recorded with millisecond temporal resolution and is highly non-stationary. Traditional frequency domain analyses cannot reveal the frequency dynamics as a function of time. For this reason, the last two decades have seen an increasing interest in the application of time-frequency transforms, which capture the variation of energy across time and frequency, to EEG data. This chapter reviews some of these methods, including linear transforms such as the wavelets, and nonlinear transforms such as the Cohen’s class of time-frequency distributions. The chapter discusses these transforms both regarding energy distribution and phase synchronization analysis in the time-frequency domain.
Frequency Analysis of the Monkey Neocortical Local Field Potential
Authors: Bressler Steven L. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Much can be learned about the human electroencephalogram (EEG) from investigation of the monkey neocortical local field potential (LFP). The LFP is the localized equivalent of the EEG and can reveal much about the EEG at the neuronal source level. Because the human LFP is rarely available, we instead must investigate the monkey LFP. To better understand cognition, recent cognitive neuroscience studies investigated frequency-based analysis of the macaque monkey neocortical LFP. Cognitive relations of the human are thought to share similar properties to those of the monkey, and the predominant frequencies of the human EEG and macaque monkey LFP are alike, suggesting that there exists similar oscillatory activity in the monkey and the human neocortex. This chapter details the results of macaque monkey LFP investigations that shed light on the human EEG’s role in cognition.
Jane Addams and the Return to Settlement Sociology
Authors: Schneiderhan Erik , Quinn Kaitlyn 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
With the advent of the internet and the proliferation of social media in the early 21st century, how people help each other has changed dramatically. The process of neighbors helping neighbors has increasingly shifted to the digital realm, with social media posts and shares replacing handshakes and conversations on the front porch. This chapter, drawing on the settlement sociology of Jane Addams, considers this shift and its implications for how people help each other. It argues that in privileging the digital over in-person social relations, we have lost a precious and important part of the fabric of society. It shows how current practices, celebrated as transparent, democratic, and technologically advanced, are in fact not very different from the inequitable and haphazard pre-welfare state methods of helping in the 19th century that Addams worked so hard to mitigate and replace through settlement houses, charity organization reform, and eventually the profession of social work. Finally, this chapter proposes a way forward, informed by Addams’s settlement sociology theory and practice and grounded in the dynamism and propinquity of in-person social relations.
Cosmology and Embryology in Medieval Japan
Authors: Andreeva Anna 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter considers the process and impact of adopting South and East Asian embryological notions and descriptions of fetal life into the cosmological accounts and ritual sources from early and medieval Japan. A plethora of different terms describing the stages of a fetus developing in the mother’s womb was known in both India and China, where they came to be adopted in the earliest medical or religious writings, produced by Buddhists, Daoists, and medical practitioners. In Japan, these terms were transmitted via the Buddhist, medical, and literary sources arriving from Sui and Tang China and became adopted into a variety of cosmological, medical, and religious sources produced by Japanese historical actors. Of particular importance were the rituals practiced in the esoteric temple milieu of the Tendai, Shingon, and Zen schools in medieval Japan, where the embryological concepts were used to introduce new ways of soteriological thinking and action.
ACT for Eating Disorders
Authors: Juarascio Adrienne , Srivastava Paakhi , Felonis Christina R. , Wons Olivia B. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Existing cognitive and behavioral treatments for eating disorders leave substantial room for improvement, with recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses finding that 40–50 percent of patients with binge-eating disorder and nearly 70 percent of patients with bulimia nervosa remain at least partially symptomatic after a full course of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). In an effort to improve outcomes, a growing number of researchers have begun to evaluate the use of mindfulness and acceptance-based behavioral treatments such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for this population. Cross-sectional and longitudinal research supports the theory that ACT processes such as experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, and low-values clarity commonly occur within eating disorder populations, which suggests that treatment approaches that target these processes could be beneficial. Although the research on ACT and ACT-informed treatments for eating disorders remains nascent, preliminary evidence supports the potential efficacy of this treatment approach and suggests that ACT may be facilitating treatment outcomes through its hypothesized mechanisms. This article reviews the existing evidence of ACT and ACT-informed treatments for eating disorders and discusses future directions for research.
Fairness
Authors: Vredenburgh Kate 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Despite widespread agreement that algorithmic bias is a problem, there is a lack of agreement about what to do about it. This chapter argues that what should be done about algorithmic bias depends on whether the problem of algorithmic bias is conceptualized as a problem of fairness, or some other problem of justice. It substantiates this claim by examining the debate over different formal fairness metrics. One compelling metric for measuring whether a system is fair measures whether the system is calibrated, or whether a prediction has equal evidential value regardless of an individual’s group membership. Calibration exemplifies a compelling notion of accuracy, and of fairness, in treating like cases alike. However, there can be a tradeoff between making systems fair, in this sense, and making them more just: to make more accurate predictions, a system may use social patterns that reinforce structures of unjust disadvantage. In response to this tradeoff, the chapter argues that in situations of injustice, other values of justice ought to be privileged over fairness, as fairness has no value in the absence of just background institutions. It concludes by drawing out five proposals for better governance of AI for justice and fairness from the philosophical discussion of fairness and justice in AI. These are a values-first approach to bias interventions, de-coupling decision processes, explicitly modeling structural injustice, interventions to increase data quality, and the use of (weighted) lotteries rather than decision thresholds.
