“As Long as It Sparkles!”
Authors: Snyder Saskia Coenen 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Chapter 3 focuses on Amsterdam, the diamond manufacturing capital of the world by the 1870s. The majority of South African rough stones were cut and polished in the Dutch capital for the international retail market. Amsterdam Jews proved indispensable to the success of the international commodity chain. By the end of the century, over fifty percent of entire Jewish population in the city relied on the stone—as master cutters, polishers, setters, apprentices, tradesmen, factory supervisors, diamantairs, or dependents. This diamond proletariat formed the basis of Holland’s first organized diamond workers’ labor union. This chapter illuminates the significance of diamonds in unionization efforts in Europe, arguing that we cannot fully understand the origins of the international Jewish labor movement, or Dutch-Jewish history, without peering closely at the diamond.
Jews and Diamonds in the Popular Imagination
Authors: Snyder Saskia Coenen 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Chapter 5 considers the cultural ramification of Jewish involvement in the diamond business. It analyzes late nineteenth-century representations that associated Jews with diamonds, particularly in the English-language press, political cartoons, and popular fictions. Victorian fiction, for example, appropriated long-held stereotypes about the Jews’ alleged innate business acumen, untrustworthiness, and thirst for power. Jewish prominence strengthened already-existing stereotypes, feeding popular views of Jewish obsessions with profit and economic control. In an era when racial anti-Semitism was gaining ground and when East-European Jewish immigration to England, the United States, and South Africa peaked, Jewish success in the international diamond trade stirred up nativist anxieties that found expression in the literary press. While diamonds in the long run empowered many Jews, their prominence in the industry worked against them as well. The potency of the diamond exposed the limits to full Jewish integration and acceptance in the modern period.
Sleeping Beauty and the Afterlife (2005)
Authors: Zagzebski Linda Trinkaus 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper tells a fairy tale aimed at making sense of the idea of a resurrected body identical to the one that died. We have inherited two strands of thought about human persons that are in tension with each other and which force us to make some hard choices. One is the motive to think of human beings as organisms, part of the natural world. The other is the motive to think that an individual person is the sort of thing that is necessarily distinct from everything else in the world, including every other person. A person has determinate persistence conditions and is not replicable. In the story told in this paper, nature cooperates with the strong distinctness of persons. It is possible that there is a substantial form that is a non-duplicable particular, but which cannot exist without informing matter. A certain person exists when and only when that person’s substantial form informs some matter. This interpretation makes the resurrection of that person possible.
The Incarnation and Virtue Ethics (2002)
Authors: Zagzebski Linda Trinkaus 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper shows how Divine Motivation theory can make the Incarnation central and the imitation of Christ the basic normative idea. Narrative ethics has a lot of defenders, but its defect is the lack of a structure that would make it a viable competitor to leading moral theories. This paper argues for the advantage of this kind of theory for the distinctive goals of Christian ethics. It is a theoretical structure in which the motive to be moral is a component of the theory itself. It therefore connects the practical aim of morality with the theoretical aim of philosophical ethics. The paper concludes with the contrast between the modern idea that the will is the creator of value and the idea that value attracts us in the form of the perfect exemplar.
Militia
Authors: Steinglass Steven H. , Scarselli Gino J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Article IX addresses the militia, which existed in Ohio before statehood. The Northwest Ordinance provided for the appointment of the governor as the commander-in-chief of the militia with the power to appoint all officers below the rank of general. The present constitution retains the governor’s position as commander-in-chief of the militia and the strict subordination of the militia to civilian power. This article gives the governor the power to call forth the militia and describes who is subject to service in the militia. And it subjects all residents of this state, who are seventeen years of age but under the age of sixty-seven years, to enrollment in the militia.
Miscellaneous
Authors: Steinglass Steven H. , Scarselli Gino J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Article XV includes miscellaneous provisions that address such matters as the location of the seat of government in Columbus, the 1851 prohibition of lotteries, the subsequent authorization of the state lottery, the controversy concerning charitable bingo, the 2009 initiated amendment authorizing casino gambling, the subsequent expansions of non-casino gambling, the legal question of whether the constitution bars gambling or only lotteries. It also provides that persons elected or appointed to offices in the state shall have the qualifications of electors as well as the special case of public service for women who were denied the right to vote until the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. And it addresses oaths of office and civil service.
Elections
Authors: Steinglass Steven H. , Scarselli Gino J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Article XVII governs the time for holding elections and contains general provisions covering terms of office and the filling of vacancies in offices. Adopted in 1905, the voters proposed a reorganization of this article in 1976 based on a recommendation of the Ohio Constitutional Revision Commission. Provisions concerning terms of office and vacancies for specific offices are in Articles II, III, IV, and V. Provisions concerning the elective franchise, election requirements, and term limits are also in Article V. Elections for state and county officers shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in even numbered years; and all elections for all other elective officers shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in the odd numbered years.
From Eco-Anxiety to Eco-Resilience
Authors: Buzzell Linda , Chalquist Craig 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
“Eco-anxiety” is the now-popular term for realistic fear in the face of multiple collective ecological crises, from contagions to climate change and many others. All share the disruption of our delusion of being separate from and superior to the natural world. Every crisis shakes this delusion even as it destabilizes individuals and communities left without adequate governmental or societal support, forcing us to find our own resources. This chapter lays out a blueprint for “eco-resilience”: the craft and science of enduring and even flourishing in a time of ongoing cycles of stress. This blueprint combines practices and ideas from many fields and areas of life to offer practical means of personal and communal adaptation in a context of Fourfold Caring: care of self, of others, of Earth, and of imagination.
The Complex Role of Anxiety in Public Engagement
Authors: Rocque Rhéa , Cameron Laura , Mauro Ian 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Research in psychology suggests that to move people toward action on societal challenges, moderate feelings of anxiety may be optimal, accompanied by clear, simple, and accessible instructions of ways individuals can take action. The complex and intersecting crises of COVID-19 and climate change provide a unique opportunity for exploring the relationship between anxiety and action. Drawing on literature from the fields of climate change psychology and climate communications, this chapter provides a critical analysis of the parallels and divergences between the COVID-19 pandemic and the issue of climate change with regards to anxiety and public engagement for action. Various attributes of both crises, such as psychological distance, sensorial limitations, and personal and collective efficacy beliefs, are discussed as important areas of comparison.
Behavior Change During COVID-19
Authors: Garivaldis Filia , Iqbal Muhammad 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses the human response to the global crisis that is COVID-19, in the context of behavior change, drawing on relevant evidence from research and theory to demonstrate how it is that in the current crisis humans are facing a threat to their way of life. The authors argue that the intuitive response to this threat interferes with common sense and the ability to do the right thing, and further challenges the notion that humans are rational and logical in their decision-making. Suggestions are made to mitigate feelings of threat at an individual and societal level, including the need for social policies that condemn social behaviors that fuel rather than stifle anxiety, and the application of evidence-based approaches to how the byproducts of threat can be circumvented.
Adapting to Eco-Anxiety
Authors: Moonga Fred 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Based on a literature review of climate change, mental health, globalization, and case studies, as well as the author’s experience of living in rural communities, this chapter analyzes the anxiety brought about by climate change among rural communities in Zambia, which are predominantly reliant on agriculture, and how people there adapt to these changes. The author argues that while climate change causes anxiety among humans, their own impact on nature contributes a great deal to these changes. Thus, to reduce climatic changes and their effects, humans’ negative actions on nature need to be controlled. The chapter ends with suggestions on future research and measures to alleviate pathologies associated with climate change.
Psychiatric Ward Lockdown in Latin America
Authors: Buitrago Juan Evangelista Tercero Gaitán 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter covers the pandemic’s effect on mental healthcare in three Latin American countries: Colombia, Argentina and Perú. The author details the preventive lockdown of a specialized psychiatric hospital in Colombia, and also describes the experiences of both psychiatrists and general practitioners in the transition from an open psychiatric ward to a strictly quarantined service, meant for the containment of a possible COVID-19 outbreak in a service with had no specialized experience dealing with epidemics or infectious outbreaks. Also describes the emotional response from the frontline clinicians versus the changes defined by the administrative team, and the challenges that sudden, unplanned global events have on local psychiatric services.
Sounding the Environmental Benefits of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Southern Nigeria
Authors: Titus Olusegun Stephen 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter provides a musical analysis of the benefits of COVID-19 on the climate and environmental sustainability in southern Nigeria. This chapter seeks to contribute to the discourse on climate change, environmental degradation, and the need for sustainability with reference to the global coronavirus pandemic and isolationism. This chapter employs phone interviews and WhatsApp calls and messages as methods for gathering musical, textual, and video data for analysis of selected musicians. Drawing on the concept of slow violence and environmentalism of the poor and informed by ecomusicological theory, the author argues that music has potential to explain current environmental issues as well as the restoration of environmental sustainability through global isolationism and reduced air travel and industrial pollution.
The Whole and the Parts, 1789–1790
Authors: Covo Manuel 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter shows how the cracks in the political economic system reached a crisis. The political divisions in Saint-Domingue moved to Paris where they met the French Revolution and exploded. A multiplicity of colonial lobbies debated over the new definition of the French Empire after July 1789. The chapter ends by moving back to the colonies where the planter assemblies had become radicalized. The compromise between planters and merchants brokered in France immediately collapsed in the face of intransigent colonial whites, and violence broke out. Divided into cliques, economic interests, and diverging political options, the white society of Saint-Domingue fragmented to a point that no unity was ever feasible. The exclusif may have been the first bone of contention, but the issue of race was even more divisive.
The Atlantic Politics of Commercial Republicanism, 1793–1794
Authors: Covo Manuel 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
How would revolutionary France square its friendship with an independent United States with its need to preserve the colonial system? The solution was “commercial republicanism.” Formulated after war broke out between France and Britain in 1793, this conciliation of economic power and republicanism would place Saint-Domingue on a legal parity with France, secure the freedom of the seas for Saint-Domingue colonists and U.S. allies, and regenerate the French nation. That project failed because the United States moved away, in political terms, from its French alliance toward neutrality, and embraced, in commercial terms, its older and stronger relationship with Britain in the Jay Treaty of 1794–1795. While debate on the “liberty of commerce” mostly preoccupied a small minority of experts in Paris and London, it provoked a major democratic crisis in the United States and contributed to the embryonic bipolarization of party politics.
The Unfree Trade of an Abolitionist Colony, 1793–1796
Authors: Covo Manuel 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses how the breakdown of the colonial system almost entirely isolated Saint-Domingue from the French metropole. The French authorities in San Domingue adapted and sometimes ignored directions from the metropole, which were regarded as out of step with the current situation. In fact, the exceptional powers of the civil commission were a response to the disintegrating French imperial state, which was far from a well-oiled machine. The colony was increasingly dependent on the United States for provisions. American traders, however, were turning the failure of their commercial transactions into a diplomatic crisis, while the colonial administration was explicitly defining itself as a “large landowner” and “merchant house.” The imbalance of this commercial and political partnership laid the foundations for a new crisis.
A Neopolitical Turn
Authors: Wallace Jeremy L. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractChina’s leaders are reshaping the country’s politics and economy through massive efforts on anticorruption, centralization, repression, and rhetoric focused on narratives of the Party as the champion of a strong Chinese nation. Major debates about regime identity dominated discussions of the failures of limited, quantified vision. Xi Jinping’s early days demonstrate the incremental and tentative nature of such changes and interpretations of them. The turn takes the Chinese regime beyond its limited, quantified vision in two ways. First, rather than simply technical issues, the regime under Xi presents a messy, conflictual picture with failures and enemies, but also depicts itself as guided by a strong leader who can helm the ship of state amid the turbulence. Second, the regime is massively expanding the information that it collects and monitors about its own agents as well as society, notably through its social credit system.
Poland and Hungary
Authors: Uslaner Eric M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Hungary and Poland were formerly ruled by Communist governments imposed by the Soviet Union. Both had long histories of their own culture, based upon ethnic heritage and religion. Once Communism was overthrown, both had brief periods of liberal democracy. The countries did not have a long history of democratic values and viewed immigrants as threats to their lineage. The ruling parties now favor exclusivist national identities but generous support for people of their own blood lines. They worry that people who are not of their ethnicity or religion threaten their historic cultures and have taken actions to restrict the rights of Muslims, Jews, and gays and lesbians.
Tracking creative self-expression through imaging tools
Authors: Kaimal Girija 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses ways in which art-making is associated with creative self-expression, health, and well-being, as measured using imaging techniques that assess physiological changes in the brain. There is emerging evidence on how creative expression changes the structure and function of the brain, derived by studies mapping its activation. Most imaging studies tend to involve receptive experiences of viewing visual art, but there is a small body of literature on the impacts of creative self-expression. This chapter focuses on what we know from brain imaging studies on the impact of visual self-expression, including emerging evidence on how it promotes health and well-being.
Beyond Debt
Authors: Pirngruber Reinhard 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This contribution attempts to elucidate the potential implications of David Graeber’s influential oeuvre for the study of the ancient Near Eastern economy. In particular, it investigates how Graeber’s reconceptualization of social interaction into the three categories of baseline communism, hierarchy, and exchange can help with questions of social norms and actual as well as expected behavior. These informal rules decisively shape the institutional framework underlying any economy; yet, in spite of their relevance, they have not been adequately studied. By means of a historicizing reading of ancient Babylonian texts belonging to various literary genres—fables, proverbs, wisdom literature—the author hopes to provide insight into ethical considerations on the normative level. These results will then be contrasted with actual economic practice according to letters and archival texts from the mid-first millennium bce.
Qualitative Interviewing
Authors: Brinkmann Svend 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Qualitative interviewing has today become one of the most common research methods across the human and social sciences, if not the most prevalent approach, but it is an approach that comes in a huge amount of different guises. Qualitative Interviewing will help its readers conduct, write, represent, understand, and critique qualitative interview research in its many forms as currently practiced. This book does not simply tell its reader how to employ a method, but educates by showing and discussing excellent exemplars of qualitative interview research. The book begins with a theoretically informed introduction to qualitative interviewing by presenting a variegated landscape of how conversations have been used for knowledge producing purposes. Particular attention is given to the complementary positions of experience focused interviewing (phenomenological positions) and language-focused interviewing (discourse-oriented positions), which focus on interview talk as reports (of the experiences of interviewees) and accounts (occasioned by the situation of interviewing), respectively. The following chapters address different ways of designing and conducting qualitative interview studies and how to write up the methodological procedures of an interview study and also the research findings. The book finally discusses a number of the most common errors in interview reports and offers a range of solutions and also strategies for evaluating research findings based on qualitative interviews.
Discussion of Qualitative Interviewing
Authors: Brinkmann Svend 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In the concluding Chapter 6, a number of the most common errors in interview reports are discussed, as are criticisms that have been raised against interview findings in recent years. A range of solutions is suggested to improve the quality of communication of research findings. The chapter also describes and discusses different strategies for evaluating research findings based on qualitative interviews. Recently, the question of quality criteria in qualitative inquiry has been much discussed, and some influential approaches are introduced and discussed. Again, the book distinguishes between traditional and more experimental perspectives on qualitative interviewing. Traditional perspectives will put emphasis on transparency, reliability, and generalizability, whereas more experimental perspectives typically underline the aesthetic and moral implications of the research findings. The chapter ends with a discussion of the future of qualitative interviewing.
Our Hearts Are Restless
Authors: Lischer Richard 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The personal narrative, be it autobiography or memoir, tells what it is to live and die in the world. Spiritual memoir adds two further dimensions. First, belief or unbelief in God is not incidental to the narrative, but crucial. The narrator and other characters must determine how the judgment or grace of God will influence the conduct of their lives. Some memoirs tell how the narrator came to faith; others examine what Augustine calls “the life of faith.” Second, spiritual memoir entails the (usually) implied offer: “What happened to me, reader, can also happen to you, but in a different way, of course.” This is the gospel of memoir. Our Hearts Are Restless explores the nature of spiritual memoir via a close reading of twenty-one memoirs or memoir-like works. The author engages in personal reflection with the memoirists. The work displays the diversity of spiritual memoir by following seven paths: conversion (e.g., Augustine, Merton), mystical vision (Julian of Norwich, Emily Dickinson), excruciating doubt (Bunyan), devastation (Abelard, C. S. Lewis), life-long pilgrimage (Harriet Jacobs, Dorothy Day), daily adventures and challenges (Lamott), and nomadic, sometimes angry expressions of faith (Baldwin, Rodriquez). These names are meant as samples of the book’s diversity. If there is a theological argument in this study, it is this: there is no argument and no authoritative theology apart from the lives of God’s people and the circumstances in which they live. “The glory of God,” said St. Irenaeus, “is a human being fully alive.”
Adventures with Jesus
Authors: Lischer Richard 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Readers warm to Anne Lamott because she gives them permission to fail at their Christianity. She accomplishes this by providing lovable vignettes of her spiritual weaknesses and failures, as well as her surprising, grace-inspired successes. She is loved for her honesty and humor. She is not into a Big Picture portrait of the church or the world. Only the everyday. Conservatives love her for her Jesus-fixation but do not care for her liberal politics. Liberals love her for her politics but are uneasy with her casual access to Jesus. She has written many memoirs, but they all rest upon the brief account of her conversion in Traveling Mercies. There she tells of her alcoholism and promiscuity, her fraught relationships, her insecurities, and the deaths of her best friend and her adored father. Without this backstory, her funny and inspiring short stories of faith would seem to be so much feel-good spirituality. She is the most gifted writer of spiritual memoirs around—and the funniest and most likable.
