‘Prehistory’ and the Indigenous Archaeology of Missions and Reserves in Australia and New Guinea
Authors: Ash Jeremy 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Archaeological traditions in Australia and New Guinea have taken quite different theoretical pathways. Melanesian archaeology emphasizes dynamic historical processes of internally derived change in ‘agricultural’ societies. In contrast, Australian archaeology has historically emphasized ecological models of stable ‘hunter-gatherer’ societies. This chapter revisits this division in comparing the emergence of mission archaeology in the two regions. Mission archaeology in Australia is well developed and multifaceted, maturing out of earlier settler colonial narratives of rupture between the precontact and postcontact past of Aboriginal societies. In the New Guinea region, missions have been largely ignored in archaeology or have been explored with reference to the long-term histories of dynamic cultural change and living social landscapes. This chapter asks whether the major theoretical divide in Australian and New Guinean archaeology is reproduced anew in archaeologies of the recent past. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the future of mission archaeology outside of the fetters of traditional divisions within Australian archaeology and in light of developments of the more theoretically diverse, ontologically inclusive, and politically agile tenets of ‘Indigenous archaeology’.
Neither/Nor
Authors: Marshall David L. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
On the one hand, some scholars think that Giambattista Vico was one of the foundational thinkers in an intellectual movement that can be meaningfully referred to as “the Counter-Enlightenment.” On the other, some scholars think that the very same Vico can be read as an important figure in a project termed “the Enlightenment.” This chapter claims that partisans on both sides of this debate make fundamental mistakes. Moreover, it argues that this split reflects the difficulty of thinking Vico in his conceptual entirety. Vico was not a philosopher of authority hoping to reinvigorate the certainties of belief that skepticism had eroded. And, he was not a proto-French theorist of reason’s rise to greatness. He was instead a theorist of the radical intrication of authority and reason. Indeed, his account of politics—informed at every turn by his inheritance of rhetoric—is essentially a story of the mutual articulation of these two terms.
Burke and the Rhetoric of Imperial Self-Knowledge
Authors: Mehta Uday S. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
As a political form, empires rely on the idea of expanse and pushing beyond the bounds of a perceptually surveyable political community. A prescient critic of British imperialism, Edmund Burke argued that this fantasy of endless expansion would not only wreak a terrible effect on imperial subjects but also on the imperial center itself. The increasingly arbitrary and violent imperial practices in the late eighteenth century could only be reconciled with the traditional British self-conception as a nation that valued constitutional restraint through an abstracted moral language that was disconnected from a credible form of self-understanding. Rather than appealing solely to some higher, philosophical truth, Burke’s rhetoric sought to anchor British imperial identity in a morally and psychologically patient project of self-knowledge rather than the empty fantasy of imperial power.
Hannah Arendt’s Performative Politics
Authors: McGowan John 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Hannah Arendt’s distinctive understanding of the political is best understood as generated by her performative theory of action. This chapter lays out Arendt’s vision, using the concept of the performative as the interpretative key. Agents in Arendt are acting politically when they create their identities in a public space that is (also) constituted by their self-fashioning actions. The political realm exists to enable such identity creation and to memorialize the deeds performed in front of others. Arendt’s work is deeply antiutilitarian. She does not want politics to accomplish anything substantial beyond providing the freedom to create oneself—and to have that creation remembered. Such freedom is valuable in and for itself, not because it produces anything. As a result, she is hostile to more rhetorical understandings of political debate and to attempts to harness politics to enable collective and cooperative action. The difficulties of Arendt’s thought stem from her rejection of more usual understandings of power, politics, and action. But those rejections serve to make us question the self-evidence and the desirability of our taken-for-granted received ideas.
Rhetorics of Affect
Authors: Brenkman John 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The place of rhetoric in political theory is inseparable from the philosophy of the passions. Aristotle’s Art of Rhetoric first catalogued the emotions, analyzing them in relation to the structure of feeling in Athenian society on which political persuasion depended. Hobbes and Rousseau placed fear at the joint between the state of nature and society, on the side of nature for Hobbes and society for Rousseau. Aristotle and Rousseau anticipated the problem of ungroundedness explored in twentieth-century thought. Since feelings and polity alike are ungrounded and since feelings are an essential dimension of politics, it falls to rhetoric to forge the link between them. The numerous pitfalls in specifying the affective dynamics of rhetoric in the political realm can be seen in the work of such influential theorists as Albert O. Hirschman, George Kateb, Brian Massumi, and Corey Robin. Moreover, political community itself is volatilized by questions of identity and belonging. The polis, as François Jullien emphasized, entails exclusions even as the principle of inclusion itself is ungrounded and contingent in the sense that the we of political community does not derive from reason or from nature. Unease, what Heidegger called Angst, is at the core of modern political experience. Peter Sloterdijk’s provocative approach to the modern polity’s collective energies and affects foregrounds rage and the symbolic, institutional, and discursive means by which the inchoate dissatisfactions of modern social life are stored, organized, and mobilized as political forces.
James Tenney and the Theory of Harmony
Authors: Wannamaker Robert A. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Around 1970, an unexpected but enduring preoccupation with harmony emerged in the music of James Tenney. In his consequent body of work two structural archetypes appear: a “spectralist” one arising in the early 1970s and characterized by gradual processes and reference to the harmonic series, complemented (but not supplanted) a few years later by another invoking lattice (Tonnetz) models of harmonic proximity. These categories correlate with different concepts of “consonance” and “dissonance” as articulated in Tenney’s theoretical writings, and in part reflect his effort to decompose “harmonic perception” itself into distinct facets with correspondingly distinct qualitative referents, acoustical correlates, apposite models, and historical associations. This chapter examines Tenney’s harmonic theories and illustrates their compositional expression via analyses of his just-intoned Harmonium #1 (1976) and Harmonium #3 (1978).
Éliane Radigue and an “Unreal, Impalpable Music”
Authors: Curtis Charles 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Radigue’s music achieves many of the goals of spectral music without making use of its methods, or sharing its intentions: hers might be an intuitive or immanent spectralism. Compositional decisions are oriented around the behavior of sound as it propagates and diffuses, especially in the form of acoustical beating, the interplay of partials, phase distortion, and resonance. The late-career shift away from purely electronic composition and analog synthesis to performer-composer collaboration and the crafting of pieces for acoustical instruments sheds light back on the period of tape composition. Radigue’s working method has always been rigorously praxis-based, rejecting any gap between the shaping of sound as an emergent force, and what results as a perceived work: the work as an end-product is perhaps collateral to the exigencies of its making. Radigue’s predilection for uncontrollable systems such as feedback, wolf tones, and non-synchronous loops, and for duration as the precondition of attention to a microphonic world, are defining factors across her output.
Personal Examples of Sounds and Spectra as Symbols
Authors: Sudol Jacob 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses how Jacob Sudol’s compositional practice has primarily relied on sounds and spectra to convey extra-musical meaning. In particular it describes how the composer created a personal musical language in which specific sonic and musical materials function as complex symbols that progressively reveal themselves and interact with each other throughout time. This chapter also describes the extra-musical inspirations for a number of these symbols, as well as how they have developed across multiple works. The chapter concludes with a suggestion that using spectral techniques as symbols or hierophanies can potentially be an efficacious approach to imbue compositions with greater spiritual, transcendental, or just experiential depth.
The Spectral Attitude and Its Relation to Performance
Authors: Nonken Marilyn 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The spectral attitude toward composition that emerged in France in the 1970s and 1980s was intimately related to the creative processes of performers, their practices, and their perceptions. The composers associated with L’Itinéraire in its early years—Tristan Murail, Gérard Grisey, Michaël Lévinas, Hugues Dufourt, and Roger Tessier—were performing musicians themselves, and their experiences contributed to their pre-occupation with timbre, temporality, process, and perception. Expressing an ecological perspective, they saw the performer as an integral part of the sensory environment, and of the ensemble energies and forces effecting the animation of acoustic phenomena. The “pure becoming of sound” could only be conveyed through the pure becoming of a performance, requiring a highly disciplined performer dedicated to processes of synthesis and transformation. Locating the performance practice of spectral music historically leads to a consideration of virtuosity and physicality in relation to Romantic, aleatoric, and New Complexity repertoire, and also to the work of post-spectralists Jonathan Harvey and Georg-Friedrich Haas.
Economic Austerity, Covid-19, and the Music Precariat in Athens, Greece
Authors: Tsioulakis Ioannis 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the ways in which the post-2010 economic and political “Crisis” in Greece as well as the more recent pandemic crisis have affected the local music scenes and the lives of its participants. In particular, the analysis will show how the increased precariousness and unemployment caused by multiple crises reshapes the strategies of working musicians, but also their self-conceptions and sense of personhood into new “crisis subjectivities.” Since the “Greek Crisis,” musicians have found steady work scarce and payment often not forthcoming. This chapter elaborates not only on the ways that professional musicians in recessional Athens practically adjust their work to the new crisis-scape, but also the kinds of “ways out” that they have managed to construct as individual agents. In contrast to those circumstances, the text then traces the emergence of collective movements and solidarity among musicians and other performing artists in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
On Fire
Authors: Uhlirova Marketa 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Fashion and dress have been major forces in the cinema, with far greater significance than that of the various commercial relationships they have enjoyed. Their study offers a prism through which to reframe our understanding of cinema’s workings across its narrative and nonnarrative forms. As two industries, art forms, institutions, and cultures, fashion and cinema have been profoundly intertwined—albeit with frictions and contradictions—and, crucially, have at times been mutually transformative. This is true not only in terms of their many converging practices but also in terms of their materialities, technologies, visual effects, and affects. The many and varied intersections between fashion and film are here used in part to problematize a conceptual separation that exists between “fashion” and “costume,” which, it is argued, is shared by both film and fashion studies, and has presented a major conundrum in the development of a unified field. A third term, “clothes,” is then added to the discussion, in order to emphasize another overlooked aspect of how clothing functions and performs in film.
Contesting the White Gaze
Authors: Benson-Allott Caetlin 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Since 2014, social and news media have been awash with images of anti-Black police violence. These videos are produced in the tradition of citizen journalism and surveillance, but their circulation online draws them into a much older history of dehumanizing Black subjects as objects of the White gaze. Scholars, journalists, and concerned citizens have correspondingly questioned whether these videos should be disseminated or even viewed. Yet Black filmmakers have begun working with the footage to interrogate its presentation on social media and develop new hermeneutics for responding to such mediated hate crimes. Ryan Coogler, Spike Lee, and Ja’Tovia Gary have all reframed videos of anti-Black police violence in narrative and experimental films. Their work suggests that there’s something wrong with the way the videos previously circulated, particularly on platforms like Facebook that encourage spectatorial empathy rather than political action. Inasmuch as these outlets perpetuate spectacles of the Black body in pain, they continue racialized spectatorial traditions that inhibit active response to horrible images. Analyzing Facebook as a postcinematic media apparatus, this chapter offers a theory of social media spectatorship as perpetuating the White gaze, the unarticulated norm of film and video culture that privileges a universalized Euro-American subject. In so doing, it argues for the continued relevance of film theory for postcinematic media analysis, including the video cultures of social media, and for the relevance of social media to film theory to stay at the forefront of media studies.
“African Redemption”
Authors: Vinson Robert Trent 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter surveys the politico-religious “prophesies of deliverance” in Ethiopian, Israelite, and Zionist Christian communities and in ostensibly secular Pan-Africanist, Garveyist, Marxist, and Africanist movements in segregationist South Africa (c.1890–1948). Black South Africans’ rich and varied interactions with African Americans and with overlapping Caribbean and continental African diasporic peoples were central to these transnational politico-religious movements. Following the intertwined lived historical experiences of these Africans and diasporic blacks, this chapter brings together often-separate African and African Diaspora histories within a “Global Africa” framework. Within the political context of segregationist South Africa, these black transnational religious movements had profound political implications. Transnational Black Christians viewed white supremacist claims that Africans were inferior, static, and primitive people outside of dynamic historical and contemporary processes, and were not fully equal in the Kingdom of God, as a political and theological evil. Transnational black Christians often saw themselves as modern-day Israelites, central actors in the divinely ordained movement of “African regeneration” to rescue humanity from the crisis of global white supremacy. For them, the Bible was not a closed historical record of a bygone and foreign people but a dynamic open book that prophesied imminent revelation and deliverance. Beyond their own close readings of the Bible, transnational Black Christians, reflecting their own sense of divinity, also wrote their own sacred texts, created their own black-led religious communities, educational institutions and entrepreneurial enterprises, claimed control of land and their labor, and infused ostensibly secular politics with fiery prophesies of imminent deliverance from the shackles of white supremacy.
Technological Change, Knowledge Base, and Industry Dynamics
Authors: Perri Alessandra , Silvestri Daniela , Zirpoli Francesco 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Based on a broad analysis of conceptual streams of thinking and empirical literature, this chapter offers an overview of the complex relationships linking the “knowledge base” of an industry to its evolution. The chapter zooms in on the dynamics of multi-technology industries, that is, industries whose products are made up of components that embody many technologies characterized by uneven rates of change. To illustrate such dynamics, the chapter reports evidence drawn from studies of the automotive industry. This literature review suggests that understanding the knowledge base of industries is essential to interpret their structure, evolution, and competitive dynamics. Nonetheless, the chapter shows that the existing methodological approaches to the dynamic mapping of industries’ knowledge base have limitations, which are particularly severe in the context of multi-technology industries. Specifically, traditional patent-based approaches allow to trace the accumulation of competences in the industry’s core domain but may not be suitable to uncover emerging technological trends.
On the Road to Global Value Chains
Authors: Gereffi Gary 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter provides a first-person account of four decades of theoretical and empirical work on linking the study of global industries to development theories. The Mexican pharmaceutical industry was the setting for examining the power of multinational corporations (MNCs) to shape national industry outcomes in ways that reinforced Mexico’s strategic dependence on MNCs. In the case of import-substituting and export-oriented development strategies in Latin America and East Asia, an industry perspective showed that countries and regions alternated in strategically useful ways between inward-oriented and outward-oriented approaches. A framework for analyzing global industries per se did not emerge until the introduction of the global commodity chain (GCC) and global value chain (GVC) approaches in the 1990s and 2000s, respectively. A focus on global industry dynamics remains relevant to the cutting-edge themes of our times, ranging from the rise of trade protectionism and economic nationalism to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Reflections on Firm and Industry Dynamics
Authors: Teece David J. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Strategic management provides a more useful lens than modern economics to understand industry dynamics, which are driven by innovation, strategy, and competition. The forces that shape industries are themselves shaped, in many cases, by bold bets taken by entrepreneurial managers funded with family, corporate, or independent venture capital. The dynamic capabilities framework is a strategic management approach that encompasses the mutual influence between managers and the business environment. Firms with strong dynamic capabilities can take an industry in a different direction (e.g., Tesla making electric vehicles desirable) or start new industries (e.g., Netflix pioneering streamed viewing of feature-length content). The dynamic capabilities framework is also well suited to understanding the current phenomenon of Big Tech and other platform-based firms leveraging data for continuous innovation in products and business models to compete across traditional industry boundaries. Dynamic capabilities can shed light on all aspects of the field of industry dynamics.
Persistence and Change in the Information Technology Industry
Authors: Campbell-Kelly Martin , Garcia-Swartz Daniel D. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter argues that the history of the information technology (IT) industry can be subdivided into five periods: early mainframes, IBM System/360, personal computers, the Internet on personal computers, and the Internet on smartphones. It explains the dynamics of competition between and within standards in each period. The chapter also argues that a mixture of persistence and change is at the core of the history of IT. Three types of change have happened in the industry. First, computing machines have undergone several transitions from mainframes to smartphones. Second, the role of software and services has grown in the context of the overall industry. And third, the location of IT-hardware production has shifted from West to East, while new countries—such as Israel, Ireland, and India—have become important suppliers of software and services. Two types of persistence have characterized the industry: of standards and companies. Persistence of standards is not surprising since, by their very nature, standards generate switching costs and inertia. The companies that have managed to remain relevant over time have done so by constantly reinventing themselves to adapt to a rapidly changing industry.
Of Elegant Tones and Fantastical Progressions
Authors: Byros Vasili 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter reconstructs aspects of diminished-seventh chord usage and modulation in the long eighteenth century that have been lost to and distorted by modern conceptualizations. The reconstruction centers on the “diatonic” foundations of scale degree ♯4 and the diminished seventh chord build upon it. Corpus study is a methodological driver of the project, but with a reflective and critical eye that questions conventional understanding and ultimately leads to a novel, practical, and hands-on realization of the method that operationalizes DIM7 modulation and the history of theory via schemata and comprovisation. Using the diminished seventh chord as its object of inquiry, this chapter tells a story of musical epistemology and the different role that corpora may play in its creation—the different types of knowledge their analysis might produce as well as the varieties of its representation, according to their particular alignment with different ways of doing music theory.
Race and Health Law
Authors: Paul-Emile Kimani 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses the relationship between race and health law. Health law is a wide-ranging category that includes public health law and healthcare law. Both healthcare law and public health law have implications for race, particularly racial formation, racial inequality, and racial justice. To illustrate the relationship between race and health disparities, this chapter begins by considering the disproportionately high mortality rates of infants and mothers of color. It then examines the role of public health law in racial formation; investigates health law in the context of segregation and the expansion of civil rights; and analyzes the interplay between health insurance and racial equity. The chapter concludes by highlighting current challenges in both healthcare law and public health law, including physician and patient interpersonal discrimination, and structural inequality.
