Retelling Greek Myths on Roman Sarcophagi
Authors: Newby Zahra 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the mythological narratives that decorated Roman sarcophagi of the 2nd to 3rd centuries ce, considering how they might be read and understood within the wider framework of mythography. It considers how they compare to different types of mythography—systematic mythography that collects and organises myths into coherent accounts, and interpretative mythography, which seeks to explain myths by rationalising them, or reading them as allegories of philosophical or ethical truths. These two approaches are first discussed with relation to two different retellings of the myth of Theseus and Ariadne. The chapter then looks at the thematic grouping of myths on sarcophagi before turning to discuss the ways that the mythological narratives of the deaths of Hector and Patroclus were treated differently on sarcophagi produced in different areas of the Roman world. Mythological sarcophagi selected from the wider corpus of myths those which could be particularly related to the funerary context. However, individual retellings could vary between more narrative versions, where the funerary message was left open for the viewer or purchaser to create, to those where the funerary symbolism was more explicitly stated by the use of particular visual techniques such as adding portrait features, or by displaying comparable mythological stories together.
Mythography and Christianity
Authors: Nimmo Smith Jennifer 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter shows how significant Christian apologists and authors made extensive use of Graeco-Roman mythology to create their own hostile accounts of its gods and heroes, using every technique, too, of the pagan schools of rhetoric. They were also strongly influenced by Hellenistic Jewish sources. They built on one another’s information, omitting or adding different themes and interpretations, in response to their times. The effect of Constantine’s conversion in 312 ce and his legislation was only briefly shaken by Julian’s reign; by 392, pagan cults had been banned. The Christian faith rose above the sack of Rome in 410 to refute, but not entirely to forget, Graeco-Roman mythology.
Hellenistic Mythography
Authors: Smith R. Scott , Trzaskoma Stephen M. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe main aim of this chapter is to survey and problematize our current state of knowledge of mythographical scholarship during the Hellenistic period. This era is widely considered crucial in the formation of mythography, but aside from the surviving work of Palaephatus, all the other evidence is scattered, fragmentary, and difficult to interpret. The chapter presents three case studies considering the work of Asclepiades of Tragilus, Lysimachus of Alexandria, and Apollodorus of Athens to test the identification of these three authors as mythographers and finds the evidence inconclusive, highlighting the need for new and further research into myth reception in the Hellenistic era.
Staging Karma
Authors: Riedel Friedlind 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The nineteenth-century musical drama U Shin Gyi, Lord of Brackish Waters relates karma’s tragic turns: as a result of playing his harp at the shore of an uncharted island, the protagonist ceases to exist and a novel personage—a deity—steps into being in his place. This spectacular transformation, one that can be observed on stage and that expands into ritual, stakes out the limits of the phenomenological body. For the phenomenological body, despite having been theorized as relational and malleable, can never account for radical change. This chapter proposes to rethink phenomena of transformation in terms of cultural techniques (Kulturtechniken). If the musical drama helps us to realize that everything is impermanent, then karmic transformations such as these are as much a matter of aesthetic operations and technical procedures as they are of philosophical or religious reasoning. The chapter comprises a close analysis of musical techniques of staging and showing transformations. What mediates the transformation of the harpist into the deity is a musical instrument that appears on stage, the Burmese harp (saung gauk). Operations of plucking, sounding, and holding the harp, but also stage architecture and music bring about a specific order of phenomaena and process transformations and relations between thing and sign, the real and the imaginary, human and deity.
Guided by a Lizard
Authors: Sveiby Karl-Erik , Skuthorpe Tex 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter invites the reader to experience and hear the voices of the prehistorical community of the Australian Nhunggabarra First People made alive by their Law stories interpreted by their custodian, Tex Skuthorpe. These Law stories give a unique insight into how precolonial humanity organized respectful relationships with animals. The chapter highlights several of the Nhunggabarra’s organizational solutions and practices, among them the innovative organizing of ‘farms without fences’ as well as a gendered organizing approach that gave women more power over the intergenerational long-term survival of the people than the men. The choice of relational constructivism as epistemology resonates with the experience of the first author and the Law stories, which explicitly describe activities, inter actions, and power relations.
Big HaT, No Cattle
Authors: Cleland Silva Tricia 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
What is in a metaphor? This chapter explores interpretations of the metaphor ‘big hat, no cattle’ and what potential implications these interpretations have on practices within a scientific field of study; in this case, strategic human resource management (SHRM). The chapter opens a discussion to the limitation of research within human management fields and calls for the vital importance of more open-minded, inductive, and inclusive approaches to research that involves, or at least acknowledges, all the species within the context of study. This requires researchers to be held accountable for the stories they tell and to be critical of the limitations to human-centric storytelling.
Working the Dog
Authors: Cudworth Erika 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter examines how time and space are organized in specific ways around paid human work, walking with dogs, and within the home. In so doing, the chapter contributes to moves critiquing anthropocentric assumptions which form the basis of much of the study of organization(s); by suggesting that the organization of everyday practices and spaces are multispecies. The role of animals has been under-researched in organization studies until recently, and when animal companions are discussed, this tends to be in the context of workplaces, for example veterinary surgeries or linked to public presentation. This chapter, however, focuses on aspects of the mundane in everyday spaces, considering the home and the outside spaces of dog and human walking as important arenas in which organizational relations cohere. The chapter draws on material from an ethnographic study utilizing data from interviews and observations in two UK field sites—the Lea Valley Park in East London, and a village in the East Midlands in England. The chapter finds that homespace and time, and the activity of walking is organized by both dogs and their human companions in ways that involve compromise, labour, and accommodation. However, human working life poses difficulties for the multispecies household in ways which compromise the wellbeing of some humans and many dogs.
Social Media Images of Urban Coyotes and the Constitution of More-than-Human Cities
Authors: Hunold Christian 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
When images of coyotes in North American cities first made the news in the 2000s, they were widely understood to show a wild animal out of place. The coyote in such images served as the natural pole on a nature-culture continuum and the city served as the cultural pole, thus reinforcing the idea that humans and wild predators inhabit categorically different worlds, spatially and ecologically. However, the ubiquity of smart phones and the growing abundance of urban coyotes have since led to a proliferation on social media of images that reveal coyotes as residing in urban settings as opposed to being lost in them. Such images drive processes of multispecies place-making that involve struggles for control and negotiations of acceptable levels of risk, but also give rise to novel expressions of kinship and ways of being well together in multispecies neighbourhoods. Using visual methods, this chapter weaves together insights from human-animal studies, new materialist thinking, and work within organization studies on space to better understand how multispecies place-making remakes urban locations though practices of accommodation. It asks not what images of urban coyotes show, but what they do; how such images do not just represent space and place, but how the joint activities of coyotes and humans (and their companion dogs) made visible on social media are remaking neighbourhood parks in San Francisco and Philadelphia as places that accommodate coyotes as fellow urban dwellers.
The Mate Switching Hypothesis for Infidelity
Authors: Abrams Mike , Abrams Lidia Dengelegi 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Infidelity toward obtaining a new partner is commonly abetted by the tendency, especially during the peak reproductive years, to continually assess other potential companions’ mate value, suitability, and availability. The strategy of maintaining a relationship while seeking other partners can be adaptive for several reasons: (1) Whether in service of finding a new partner or not, infidelity offers the male more potential childbearing partners and provides the female a means to obtain genes from a partner with a superior phenotype, (2) extradyadic sex potentially creates a bond with a new partner and can add to one’s perceived security in a relationship while paradoxically easing leaving it, and (3) infidelity can act to mitigate the financial or emotional risks of leaving a partner who has become less desirable. Mate switching infidelity is abetted by many intrinsic factors such as males’ tendency to reflexively attend to those with salient sexual features and females’ propensity to remain vigilant for new partners who offer superior genes, status, and resources. This chapter details these and several other cultural and evolutionary forces that underlie the mate switching hypothesis of infidelity. It also presents case studies to illuminate the psychological and clinical implications of this practice.
Forgiveness for a Partner’s Infidelity
Authors: Dillow Megan R. , Denes Amanda 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter offers a brief treatment of infidelity as a major relational transgression and discusses several types of infidelity (i.e., sexual, emotional, communicative, and same-sex infidelity). It overviews numerous aspects of granting forgiveness, beginning with a summary of the various conceptualizations of forgiveness, including motivation-based, therapeutic, and communicative perspectives. The measurement of forgiveness is considered, including assessments of forgiveness at varying levels of specificity. Common correlates and predictors of granting forgiveness are identified, including dispositional, situational, physiological, physical, relationship, and social network considerations. Interventions that encourage forgiveness are presented, such as the decision-based model of forgiveness of marital infidelity and the integrative model of forgiveness. Cross-cultural similarities and differences with regard to the antecedents of forgiveness are acknowledged, although available research is limited primarily to Western cultures at this point. Typical strategies for communicating forgiveness to a transgressor are identified, including direct, indirect, and conditional tactics. The limited research on seeking forgiveness is also reviewed by way of an analysis of offender behavior that is most likely to elicit forgiveness (e.g., sincerely apologizing, displaying remorse, taking responsibility). Finally, the chapter concludes with a discussion of the consequences of forgiveness for both the forgiver and the offender, including physical, physiological, psychological, and relational outcomes. Attention is given to the potential dark side of forgiveness, such as exploitation risk for the forgiver, the possibility of prolonging an unhealthy relationship, and compromised extradyadic relationships with close friends and family members who disagree with the decision to forgive the offender.
Renewed Love Between Partners Following Infidelity
Authors: Wade T. Joel , Burch Rebecca L. , Fisher Maryanne L. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Infidelity has gained significant research attention within evolutionary and social psychology, but the bulk of this work pertains to issues surrounding defining infidelity, documenting its prevalence, or how people immediately react to infidelity in their relationships. Significantly less research has focused on what transpires in the relationship in the longer-term after the infidelity, and after the faithful partner fully realizes what has occurred. The research that does exist tends to pertain to sex differences in reactions, with men being far less optimistic about the future of their existing relationships. Others have examined the effect of the type of infidelity on relationship termination. This chapter focuses on how couples decide, and the methods they use, to continue relationships and rekindle love after infidelity has occurred.
Cultural Differences and Similarities in the Nature of Infidelity
Authors: Pazhoohi Farid 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter highlights the variations and diversity of human mating systems and cultural differences and similarities in the nature of and attitudes toward infidelity. Altogether, this chapter reviews and shows what is constituted as infidelity in one culture might not necessarily be considered as infidelity in another culture. While there has been some cross-cultural research to evaluate differences and similarities across societies and populations in infidelity, the literature still lacks proper research on what is considered as infidelity in different cultures, societies, and traditions. The current issues of research such as lack of diversity, (i.e., sample limitation to heterosexual, middle-to-upper-class, white, undergraduate students, from Western and industrialized societies, majority from the United States) are noted. Moreover, this chapter argues that the intense interest among behavioral researchers in identifying a universal sex difference in distress over sexual and emotional aspects of infidelity has resulted in neglect of exploring the nature of infidelity and the cultural variations in the attitudes toward infidelity. Finally, by signifying a limited research that employed a behavioral ecological approach, this chapter calls for cross-cultural research based on a behavioral ecological approach on cultural differences and similarities in the nature of infidelity.
Future Directions for Theory and Research on the Predictors, Nature, and Consequences of Infidelity
Authors: DeLecce Tara 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This handbook has presented the current state of the research on the predictors, nature, and consequences of infidelity from a variety of perspectives, including social, clinical, and evolutionary. Although significant advances have been made to understand infidelity, there remain many unanswered questions, leaving plentiful avenues for future directions. This concluding chapter will address in more detail several remaining issues mentioned in previous chapters. Most importantly, “infidelity” lacks a definition that is standardized across studies, and a clearer understanding could be achieved given adequate methods to define infidelity, even if this means converting the construct of infidelity from unidimensional to multidimensional. Once this is accomplished, other issues surrounding infidelity can be explored. Specifically, in addition to a lack of research addressing non-heterosexual dyadic relationships, there is a lack of research on the nature of infidelity in relationships that are polyamorous or entail some degree of socially acceptable nonmonogamy. Relatedly, little research has investigated the consequences of infidelity in cultures that place less value on maintaining monogamy. Furthermore, there is an overreliance on cross-sectional research featuring relatively young participants, which does not address the impact of infidelity across the lifespan, including in the postreproductive years. The remainder of the chapter provides suggestions for ways to incorporate these missing issues into the infidelity literature.
Predicting Online Infidelity
Authors: Fitzgerald Carey J. , Moreno Crystal , Thompson Jody 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Infidelity, as well as emotional and behavioral responses to infidelity, have been extensively studied in the evolutionary and social psychological literature. However, changing Internet usage by the general population continues to afford new directions to this body of research. With the advent of such websites and applications as Ashley Madison, Seeking Arrangement, and Tinder, the Internet has provided a new environment for humans to engage in both sexual and emotional infidelity on an unprecedented level. This chapter defines sexual infidelity and emotional infidelity within the context of the Internet, then reviews the literature regarding online infidelity (specifically, usage of Ashley Madison and Tinder) with a focus on the situational, dispositional, and cultural factors that influence these behaviors. Variables such as gender, age, income, attachment style, relationship satisfaction, and personality traits—including the five factor model (i.e., the “Big Five”) and the dark triad model—are examined. Same sex infidelity, nonbinary infidelity, and suggestions for future research on this topic are also discussed.
Esther Williams’s Latin Lovers
Authors: Cohan Steven 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Early in Bathing Beauty, Esther Williams’s first musical at MGM, Red Skelton’s character wants to serenade his fiancée, played by Williams. She is about to arrive for her daily swim and Skelton, a songwriter, has composed a song for her. Although he can sing, rather than perform “Magic Is the Moonlight” himself, Skelton has asked Columbian baritone Carlos Ramirez to sing it for him in Spanish. The substitution of Ramirez for Skelton is a foreshadowing of how Williams’s cinematic body could blur certain ideological boundaries of the era through her association with Latinness and its visible displacements onscreen. Central to Williams’s star persona was her frequent association with Latinness. Xavier Cugat appeared in four of her musicals, she starred opposite Ricardo Montalbán in three, and Fernando Lamas, whom she eventually married several years after leaving MGM, appeared in Dangerous When Wet, one of her final efforts at that studio. The chapter concentrates on three musicals: Fiesta, On an Island with You, and Neptune’s Daughter. These films, made shortly after the war ended and as the postwar readjustment of conventional and more rigid gender roles began, offers a revealing glimpse not only of how this studio progressively whitened Montalbán’s Latinness but also how his onscreen ethnicity opened up ways of appreciating what made Williams’s star image, so focused on her athletic body, a more provocative portrayal of femininity in the 1940s than one remembers or that most scholarship on the musical acknowledges.
The Problem of Playing Oneself
Authors: Platte Nathan 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Oscar Levant claimed that Hollywood miscast him as himself. The joke speaks to how closely intertwined failure, achievement, and identity were interwoven for Levant, whose many occupations (pianist, composer, actor, and comic writer) reflected both the opportunities and liabilities of such multifaceted talent. But unlike other secondary characters, Levant brought with him a crossover star persona that served as foil and ballast for the marquee stars he supported. This chapter argues that while Levant’s performances of himself changed only slightly, the shifting emphasis he received across these films through musical performances presented competing solutions to the problem that Levant’s characters posed. How does a cynical, marginalized pianist “play” in the earnest, optimistic genre of the Hollywood film musical, where singing and dancing drive the entertainment? This chapter addresses this question by setting analysis of his onscreen roles within the context of his broader celebrity. Levant’s work as a concert artist and writer, his close relationship with the Gershwins, and his struggles with mental health informed his onscreen roles and characterized the peculiar authenticity that Levant’s characters embodied within the film musical.
“Hard to Replace”
Authors: Broomfield-McHugh Dominic 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The critical response to the re-pairing of beloved song-and-dance team Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers a decade after their ninth and final film for RKO, The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939), was overwhelmingly positive. Yet although it is obvious that the film needs to be read through the lens of the Astaire-Rogers partnership, the project was commissioned for a quite different pairing. Freed was so delighted by the combination of perhaps his two favorite performers, Astaire and Judy Garland, in Easter Parade (1948) that he immediately asked screenwriters Betty Comden and Adolph Green to devise another film for Astaire and Garland as a rapid follow-up. Ultimately, exhaustion and medical problems caused Garland to be unreliable and therefore she was removed from the project—physically, at least—and replaced by Rogers. Yet Garland’s impact on the writing of the screenplay and score of The Barkleys of Broadway was too dominant simply to be written out, leaving the movie with an interesting patina of two especially potent combinations: Astaire-Garland, the popular partnership of the previous year’s hit, and Astaire-Rogers, the much-missed favorite team of the 1930s. This chapter uses archival production sources to consider how the finished movie reflects several competing tensions that the screenwriters, composer, lyricist, and production team had to address as a result of abruptly transforming a movie intended for one stellar partnership into a vehicle for another.
“Hear the Beat of Dancing Feet”
Authors: Carter Tim 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
42nd Street brought Busby Berkeley into the Warner Bros. fold, and initiated a series of highly successful film musicals that rescued the studio’s financial fortunes. The grittily realistic approach to the “backstage” formula, plus attractive diegetic songs by Harry Warren and Al Dubin, are also distinctive, as are its broader political messages in the context of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s victory in the 1932 US presidential election. The script, based on the contemporary novel by Bradford Ropes, went through various iterations, and further revisions were made during production and editing, leaving a number of problems in their wake. The casting of Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler (plus a young Ginger Rogers) also created complications given their widely differing talents. But the film reveals how Hollywood was now trying to battle with Broadway, leaving the much later (1980) stage version of the show to fight back in somewhat uncertain terms.
