The Lay of the Land
Authors: Kraemer David 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter documents the inaccuracies of the canonical Jewish myth of exile, exploring the consequences of its distortions. The myth, preserved even in modern histories of the Jews, relates that 2,000 years ago Jews were forced into exile by the Romans, following which they suffered at the hands of others for millennia, all while hoping for return. This narrative misrepresents much of Jewish experience, and it ignores the fact that humans justify their existence. In truth, Jews have spent most of their history in diaspora, where they have often flourished, and they have repeatedly justified their lives there. The traditional explanation of exile as punishment for sin ignores these justifications, which render “exile” in a much more positive light. As narratives are crucially important as expressions of human identities, it is essential to ask whether the “canonical” Jewish narrative has served the needs of diaspora Jews.
The Online Extension of Autobiographical Memory
Authors: Wang Qi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Internet and social media have afforded individuals with new ways of remembering and sharing personal experiences with others, resulting in a tangible online extension of autobiographical memory with infinite possibilities. This chapter applies the triangular theory of self in the Internet Age to analyzing the characteristics of autobiographical memory and its online extension—in the digital form on social media platforms and in the transactive form in the cyber community—in the digitally mediated society. Taking a psycho-cultural perspective, the analysis shows how psychological characteristics and cultural norms influence the dynamic interaction between the social media user and the cyber community in the process of co-constructing the online extension of autobiographical memory and further affecting individuals’ sense of self and well-being. The chapter concludes with a discussion of limitations in current research, the methodological challenges and strategies in studying autobiographical memory in the age of the Internet and social media, and future directions.
The Changing Dynamics and Consequences of Memory Retrieval in the Age of the Internet
Authors: Storm Benjamin C. , Bittner Dana-Lis , Yamashiro Jeremy K. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Internet is increasingly affecting the nature and dynamics of human memory. In the current chapter, recent research is reviewed, focusing on how the Internet is changing the way information is learned and remembered and the consequences of such changes on the general functioning of memory. In some ways, the Internet has the potential to expand the power of memory, providing access to more information than otherwise possible. In other ways, it has the potential to supplant or disrupt internal processes, preventing the types of flexible and constructive processes that are critical for the adaptive use and updating of memory. These and other potential consequences are discussed, especially as they relate to memory retrieval, focusing on both what is known now and some of the questions and challenges that remain to be investigated.
Remembering in Pandemic Time
Authors: Worcman Karen , Garde-Hansen Joanne 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
During pandemic time, the Museu da Pessoa (Museum of the Person) of Brazil, like other organizations in many parts of the world, created open calls for individuals to share their daily lives, work challenges, and dreams for creating memories and hopes for the future. It was a reversion to the traditional private diaries of sharing stories on open platforms, and it reconfirmed a slower approach to memory work that this digital museum has developed since the early 1990s. The method of “social memory technology” employed was particularly attuned to remembering carefully, without time pressure and in ways that paid attention to the many non-events that individuals want to see in museums that are indicative of slower, lived, and ordinary lives. This chapter draws attention to the ways in which this digital museum engaged in fast and slow methods of remembering using the Internet to produce slow memory work that is compassionate and creates memories of pandemic time as a period of degrowth.
The Exploration Principle
Authors: Fisher Greg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Entrepreneurial progress entails exploring a problem domain deeply and generating a wide range of solutions. This means that an entrepreneur should avoid just settling on the first idea they have to solve a problem. Innovation, differentiation, and product novelty often come from exploring a wide range of options. It takes work, effort, and mental energy to explore many solutions, but out of this work, effort, and mental energy the most creative ideas emerge. And the more one explores a wide range of solutions, the easier it becomes. The diamond framework is a useful model to conceptualize and carry out the exploration principle. On the left side of the diamond the problem to be tackled is captured. The center of the diamond represents divergence across a wide array of possible solutions. The right side of the diamond represents convergence to the best possible solution from all the options.
The Prototype Principle
Authors: Fisher Greg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Entrepreneurial progress entails rapidly building a prototype of the identified solution. To make progress as an entrepreneur one needs to act, and one key action to take is building a prototype version of the proposed solution. Building a prototype facilitates deep learning and meaningful experimentation. A prototype can achieve fidelity in terms of what it looks like (aesthetics) or how it works (functionality). Therefore, as an entrepreneur thinks about developing a prototype of their product or service, they can first seek to make the prototype look right and only then work toward making it functional, or vice versa, where they make it functional first and only then start making it look good. These options create multiple paths to using a prototype to work toward creating a fully functional product that looks good and works as it should.
The Story Principle
Authors: Fisher Greg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Entrepreneurial progress entails crafting a narrative. Entrepreneurship is about creating a future that does not yet exist. But doing so requires not only that an entrepreneur is able to make sense of what they are doing but also that they are able to share with others what they are doing to garner support and input. As humans, we have evolved to be most receptive and responsive to information conveyed in the form of a story. Therefore, if an entrepreneur wants to get a better sense of what they are doing and get others to buy into it, they need to be able to transform their ideas about where we have come from and where we are going into a story. This entails crafting a context for the story, specifying characters, describing a challenge that leads to a conflict, and a course of action to overcome that conflict that leads to a climax and a conclusion.
The Affordable Loss Principle
Authors: Fisher Greg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Entrepreneurial progress stems from specifying the resources you can afford to lose in pursuing your idea. Specifying upfront what you are willing to invest (and hence lose) in starting a venture and setting that aside cognitively and/or physically so that you know what you have on hand to get the venture started can be incredibly freeing; it allows an entrepreneur to focus on the most important issues to make progress rather than constantly being paralyzed by fear of failure and wondering whether what they are doing makes sense or whether they are putting their livelihood at risk. Doing this also dictates that founders find creative ways to bring their idea to market within the resources and connections they can assemble. This forces an entrepreneur to look for the cheapest alternatives and come up with creative ways of doing things at little or no cost to themselves.
Our Rehearsal and Teaching Philosophy
Authors: Fullard Annie , Cotter-Lockard Dorianne 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter details the authors’ teaching philosophy, representing the foundation of the strategies and techniques for productive rehearsals. Elements of this philosophy include creating a positive environment for learning through empathy, humor, and co-leadership. These elements inspire and support artistic excellence. Cultivating respectful relationships within the ensemble is highlighted as integral to the rehearsal process. The authors move beyond the traditional concepts of leading and following by introducing the concepts of initiating, inspiring, responding, and reflecting. The principles described in this chapter reflect the philosophy of our mentor and former member of the Cleveland String Quartet, Peter Salaff.
Techniques for Sound Production
Authors: Fullard Annie , Cotter-Lockard Dorianne 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter offers insight into developing an expressive and nuanced sound. The authors share ideas for producing sound inspired by color, visual art, and vocal techniques. The chapter includes a section on articulation and producing a blended ensemble sound which builds on the prior chapter on intonation. The articulation section includes a discussion of legato, staccato, and emphasis markings such as sforzando, fortepiano, and tenuto. Practice techniques related to vibrato are included, followed by sound production techniques related to families of instruments based on interviews with noted chamber music performers and the authors’ experience. Appendix D provides additional sound production strategies for stringed instruments related to right-hand technique.
Renewing Historical Performance through an Embodiment of Historical Acting Techniques
Authors: Wentz Jed 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter explores one possible method for returning creative and expressive power to the performer of music in a historically grounded fashion: by hearing and feeling one’s own body in the act of declaiming, the musician can, using their own subjective experience, truly become an orator communicating authentically with the audience of today. In this approach, each new memory of the sound of the affected declamatory voice serves as an additional weapon in the expressive arsenal of the performer, to be drawn on imaginatively in the act of making music. A demonstration of an annotated passage from George Vandenhoff’s The Art of Elocution (1846) serves as an example not only of nineteenth-century musical speech but also more broadly of the potential for artistic transformation through an iterative process of oratorical training and performance, stimulating the imagination through the sounds and images of well-chosen declamatory texts.
Historical Interpretation Research— New Sources and Methodologies
Authors: Köpp Kai 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Increased interest in the musical practices of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries led to a greatly expanded definition of “early music,” referring to certain methods of recreating music of the past so that historic distance remains perceptible in performance. This definition embraces a wide range and great number of sources, including instructive editions, early recordings, piano rolls, and organological user interfaces that require developing new approaches and tools to comprehend them. For this expanded perspective of historically informed performance (HIP), the term “interpretation research” (Interpretationsforschung) has been established in German musicology. It differs from traditional HIP through its particular interest in understanding the latitude of decision-making in the performance of music since the nineteenth century. Thanks to the abundance of interrelated sources, very detailed questions about these artistic choices can be answered, leading to a new quality of HIP that may be described as “early recordings informed performance.”
Developing Virtual Acoustic Systems for Use in Early Music Research
Authors: Callery Eoin , Abel Jonathan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Virtual acoustic systems can radically alter the acoustic conditions of performance venues and other spaces. When using these systems, the audience and performers have the sense that they are listening in another acoustic environment, a different space than the one they actually occupy or expect. Such systems have profound implications for many disciplines, especially those that intersect with the music and performing arts. Here we describe key virtual acoustic systems we have developed, ones that have made it possible to reproduce detailed acoustic models of actual spaces, including space that are inaccessible for detailed study. These systems have provided a means to investigate and theorize about how repertoire likely written for specific spaces may have been originally performed and heard. We discuss two such projects and review our findings, offering important insights into the potential of virtual acoustic systems to transform our understanding of music, performance, and more.
Race, Time, and Utopia
Authors: Paris William M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Race, Time, and Utopia: Critical Theory and the Process of Emancipation argues that racial injustice, at its core, is the domination of time, and utopia has been the response to this domination. The racially dominated are not free to define what counts as “progress,” they are not free from the accumulation of past injustices, and, most importantly, they are not free from the arbitrary organization of work in capitalist labor markets. Racially unjust societies are forms of life where the justifications for how to organize time around life, labor, and leisure are out of the hands of the dominated. Utopia has been a crucial resource for the refusing submission to time domination by opening pathways towards alternative futures. This book provides a theoretical account of utopia as the critical analysis of the sources of time domination and the struggle to create emancipatory forms of life. Rather than focusing on inclusion and equality before the law, as found in liberal theories of racial injustice, Race, Time, and Utopia analyzes the neglected “utopian” tradition of emancipation in black political thought that insists freedom can only be secured through the transformation of how we organize social time. Bringing together the work of W. E. B Du Bois, Martin Delany, Marcus Garvey, Frantz Fanon, and James Boggs with the critical theory of Karl Marx, Ernst Bloch, Rahel Jaeggi, and Rainer Forst, this book reconstructs a social theory and normative account of forms of life as the struggle over how time will be organized. Race, Time, and Utopia asks, “can there be freedom without a new order of time?”
Introduction
Authors: Paris William M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The introduction offers an overview of what a “critical theory of utopia” is. It proceeds in two moves. First, it argues that “utopias” are not primarily about ideal blueprints, but an expression of indignation towards social injustice. Utopias are, primarily, the denunciation of a society as whole. Second, the chapter advances a critical theory of capitalist society as a form of life where other orders of time are increasingly disciplined by the imperative of production and accumulation. Thus, racial justice should be analyzed as the utopian attempt to emancipate forms of life from the arbitrary control of capitalist time.
Race and the Fragmentation of Time
Authors: Paris William M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Following from the previous chapter, this chapter turns to the work of W. E. B. Du Bois in The Souls of Black Folk as a resource for diagnosing how racial injustice dominates and fragments the forms of life of the dominated. It analyzes Du Bois’s ambivalent relationship toward black people as both not yet modern and exhibiting practices for a future, just society. It argues that an underappreciated aspect of Du Bois’s argument in Souls is the normative character of time and synchronization in social life. Du Bois interprets black forms of life as containing the promise of a future time where all peoples will be able to live as contemporaries in culture. Here the chapter begins reconstructing a social theory of racially unjust societies as temporally out of joint and thus raising the question of how they can be synchronized justly.
Justifying Freedom
Authors: Paris William M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter examines James Boggs’s black power critique of civil rights. He argues civil rights did not go far enough in radically changing the white, capitalist power that shapes modern societies. The chapter argues that utopia is the work of replacing one form of power with a new set of justifications. Analyzing Boggs’s conception of black power shows that power for him is the capacity to develop new binding norms that will underwrite the economic and social patterns of a form of life. By breaking with the justifications of the present that naturalize black economic disempowerment, Boggs endeavors to bring even heretofore taken-for-granted economic relations within the space of reasons. Black power envisions a society where democratic contestation and negotiation are the basic justifications for a form of life rather than the imperative of permanent capital accumulation.
Statecraft, Its Meaning, and Why It Is Often Done Poorly
Authors: Ross Dennis 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter argues that good statecraft is characterized by marrying objectives and means, but also points out that it is rarely done. The failure to do so is not the preserve of either Republican or Democratic administrations: both tend to fail more than succeed in this regard. The failure results from both a lack of clarity in objectives as well as often choosing the wrong objective. Political considerations, poor assessments or lack of understanding the situation, and adopting objectives that are too general and not easily operationalized help to account for this. To illustrate how presidents of both parties have failed to marry objectives and means, the chapter looks at a number of examples, including Obama in Libya (and Syria), Trump in Iran, and Biden on the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
George W. Bush and the Iraq War: A Tale of Two Terms
Authors: Ross Dennis 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter describes the vast differences in the deftness of statecraft practiced during the first and second terms of the Bush 43rd administration by examining the decision-making in the leadup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the 2007 troop surge. The decision to invade Iraq in 2003 was not vigorously debated; there was no clear understanding of what the United States was getting into, as the administration relied on a faith-based rather than fact-based assessment. The author demonstrates that a clear objective, a foundational component of good statecraft, was lacking in 2003: was it regime change, or disarming weapons of mass destruction (WMD)? Without clarity on the effort's ultimate objective, international coalescence was limited, contributing to the quagmire that Iraq was to become. By 2006, when the Bush administration recognized it needed a strategic shift, personnel changes helped to facilitate more rigorous, parallel assessments. Contrasting the statecraft of the Bush 43rd administration in 2003 and 2006, this chapter explores how the Surge came to be and what factors contributed to such an improvement in statecraft within a single administration.
Guardians of the Archives
Authors: Martin Quijano Boris X. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter examines the power relationship between the researcher and state employees working in Cuban archives and libraries, in particular how those relationships are impacted by the intersection of status, race, and religion. The author uses three stories from his fieldwork to discuss several problems he encountered and the strategies he developed to overcome the barriers to archival research confronting a native researcher. For example, Martin Quijano explains societal prejudice against the Afro-Cuban religion and in one instance recounts the need to hide his Afro-Cuban religious symbols prior to entering the archives to ensure access. However, his story takes a surprising twist when he finds out the race of a senior religious authority whose authorization was needed to access the Catholic Church’s archives, which were essential to his project.
Take the Message Everywhere
Authors: Darden Robert F. , Newby Stephen M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
With the help of songwriter Audrey Mieir, the new configuration of Andraé Crouch and the Disciples was soon singing to packed (mostly white) churches across Southern California. Their success in singing a congregation-friendly and more contemporary version of gospel to a wide variety of audiences caught the ear of fabled religious producer Ralph Carmichael, who signed them to his new label, Light Records. With Christian music veteran Jimmy Collins as producer, the Disciples recorded their first LP, Take the Music Everywhere. Following a world tour with evangelist John Haggai, Andrus left the Disciples, to be replaced by Tramaine Hawkins.
Keep On Singin’
Authors: Darden Robert F. , Newby Stephen M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The success of the Disciples’ live performances led them to Irv Kessler, a veteran producer with Liberty Records. Though the group’s lone 45 for Liberty, “Christian People,” didn’t sell particularly well, they were welcomed back on Carmichael’s Light Records. Midway through the production of Keep On Singin’, Tramaine Hawkins left the group, devastating Andraé. Keep On Singin’ produced several gospel standards, including “I’ve Got Confidence,” later recorded by Elvis, and “My Tribute (To God Be the Glory),” an anthemic ballad that is still found in many hymnals, used in both Black and white congregations, today.
