Public Intellectuals
Authors: Lee Namhee 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The defining characteristics and roles of the public intellectuals in Korea have evolved closely following the vicissitudes of the country’s history. During the post-1945 authoritarian period, the public intellectuals’ pursuit of truth and universal good organically linked them to the democratization movement, leading them to re-evaluate and contest the most foundational and normative ideological underpinnings of the state. The post-1987 institutionalization of liberal democracy, the simultaneous path of neoliberal restructuring, the advent of the internet and the information revolution, as well as the high rate of university graduates transformed the intellectual landscape and consequently the concept and ideals of the public intellectual. While some of the socially conscious celebrity figures emerged to play the role of the public intellectual in the early 2000s, there also emerged a new type of public intellectual who engages with social issues based on and utilizing their professional expertise.
I, You, We
Authors: Schwadron Hannah , Marks Victoria 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This duet recalls a movement workshop exploring the potential of “dancing interconnections” as a practice of betweenness. Inspired by Vic Marks’ Action Conversations and Schwadron’s choreographic improvisation, the workshop and its reflection draw on Martin Buber’s 1923 text I and Thou and its encouraged spontaneous mutuality “bodied forth” in the zone of relation. As the co-authors share what happened from their own views, tender affect blurs with agitation and felt evidence of empathy slides easily into frustration. Projections abound in the narration of events, as the authors trade all that the subject shores up, kibitzing on what cultural baggage may be best to revise and avoid. What emerges is an ethos of care built between authors as a hope for the broader subfield; to notice through action and discussion of what is happening as it continues to change.
The Godseeker
Authors: Bing-Heidecker Liora 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses the Russian intellectual and dance critic Akim Volynsky’s views on classical ballet from a Jewish perspective, as elucidated in his seminal text The Book of Exaltation (1925). It analyzes Volynsky’s aesthetic conceptualization of dance as an attempt to forge an ideological bond between ballet and Judaism, emanating from his belief in the affinity between Apollonian and Jehovist notions. The study argues that Volynsky’s reevaluation of classical ballet is framed in terms of Jewish rabbinic polemic and hermeneutic strategies, and that Volynsky attributed Jewish values to ballet praxis, especially in the application of ethical content and moral intent to features such as turn-out, elevation, and verticality. It further argues that Volynsky depicted Jewish liturgical movement patterns as demonstrating dance qualities. Finally, it delineates Volynsky’s apocalyptic vision in which classical ballet at its purest state shares Judaism’s ancient mission of leading mankind to enlightenment.
The Nearness of Judaism
Authors: Chazin-Bennahum Judith 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The chapter narrates Judith Chazin-Bennahum’s memories and experiences as a dancer from her beginnings at the High School of Performing Arts where she was a ballet major and studied with Selma Jeanne Cohen and danced with Bob Joffrey, to Brandeis University, an institution where may of her professors were refugees from the Holocaust, to her brief time in a show, Goldilocks on Broadway with Agnes de Mille and as a Soloist with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet when Antony Tudor was Director of Ballet, and soon after, her discovery of her Jewishness and Zionism, as well as her scholarly and historical interests in dance. Her books have focused on eighteenth-century ballet in France, fashion and ballet costumes during the nineteenth century in France, the ballets of Antony Tudor, and the lives of René Blum and Ida Rubinstein.
Forbidden Movements and Degenerate Bodies
Authors: Wells Christi Jay 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter presents a highly personal meditation from a Jewish lindy hop dancer on their relationship with whiteness, Jewishness, their grandmother, their practice of dances that belong to Black American culture, the broad whitewashing of Black dance in popular culture, and intergenerational blood memories. Using the 1993 film Swing Kids as an anchor, the author weaves through personal and familial memories as well as moments in jazz history and representations of Black social dance on film, including instances with all-white casts and other manifestations of Black erasure, to make sense of particular Jewish manifestations of desire for close connections with Blackness and Black culture.
It Was There All Along
Authors: Rosenberg Douglas 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The dance world and its histories has exhibited, from the twentieth century forward, a fundamental Jewish logic. Indeed, such a logic has permeated all of the contemporary arts, from the plastic arts to dance. This foundational logic has been written into existence by Jewish scholars, practitioners, and theorists, whose work has been both subversive and formative. It has only recently come into focus beyond the central shared ethnicity of these architects of both modernism and postmodernism. Such foundational logic (a kind of Jewishness) supports a unique kind of interdisciplinarity and particularity. It is particular to the narratives of diasporic American Jews who actively participated in the aspirational project of modernism across all genres of self-expression. As this chapter discusses, in such territory as described by twentieth-century critics associated with modern art theories (including Clement Greenberg, Susan Sontag, and others), there is a merging of Jewish orthodoxy with a nascent formal critical orthodoxy. Taken together with the work of scholars such as those just named, we arrive at a multigenerational conversation in which Jewishness in dance is no longer veiled.
Anna Halprin’s Radical Body
Authors: Bennahum Ninotchka D. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Guided by an unwavering belief in the moral capacity of dance to transform human society and effect social change, Anna Schuman Halprin (b. 1920) shaped the radical, Jewish nature of postmodern dance. With her invention of task-based improvisation as a method of devising dance—a clandestine, communitarian agent of change—Halprin espoused dance making as a basic human right. This chapter essays how Halprin envisioned postwar dance as environmental study rather than merely physical practice. Through her visionary work Halprin reconceived movement as engendering climate activism and social justice, radical beliefs that emerged out of her Talmudic pedagogy. Dancing bodies were retrained, away from technique, narrative, and desire, toward a reinvention out of one’s relationship to and study of the natural world.
Choreographing Livability after Oslo
Authors: Melpignano Melissa 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter theorizes how Israeli women choreographers Anat Danieli, Yasmeen Godder, and May Zarhy differently articulate methods for the enhancement of what the author calls kinesthetic collective responsibility in Israel/Palestine, after the failure of the peace accords in the early 1990s. The starting point of inquiry is what the author names livability platform, a theoretical framework that examines the life stakes of dancing and choreographing in a specific context. The article argues that, by questioning the patriarchal foundations of Israeli governmentality (Danieli), by exposing the corporeal consequences of docility and aggression as systemic social and political dynamics (Godder), and by re-envisioning how it is possible to move together through multi-sensorial listening (Zarhy), certain experiences within the larger system of production of choreography in Israel can contribute to a redefinition of how to achieve a more livable life in Israel/Palestine.
The Cultural Politics of Practicing Israeli-ness in Gaga
Authors: Quinlan Meghan 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Tel Aviv is the home of Gaga, a dance practice developed by Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin. Over the past two decades, dancers from around the world have traveled to Israel to practice with Naharin, and regular classes and sporadic workshops have also been established internationally. This chapter questions whether or not there is anything inherently Israeli, or Jewish, about the practice of Gaga in order to consider its relationship to Zionist ideologies and politics. This reading is offered not to definitively label Gaga as either for or against the State and its associated politics, but rather to complicate its role in both cultural and national politics as it continues to grow in popularity internationally.
Arkadi Zaides
Authors: Shalev Dana 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter focuses on Arkadi Zaides, one of Israel’s foremost choreographers, whose work has positioned him as an important opposing voice to the state’s dominant political regime, both in terms of its investment in the Occupation, and in terms of its suppression of aberrant artistic expressions. In this context the chapter attempts to narrativize Zaides’s biography as one caught in the throes of movement between countries, and in effect as one constantly reflecting a state of placement and displacement, which is transformed into choreography on stage. Accordingly, the chapter traces a certain development within Zaides’s choreographic language, which resonates shifts in Israel’s political landscape as well as in the artist’s personal one, and may be divided into two intertwined gestures: on the one hand, a transition from metaphoric-poetic meanings to painfully literal ones; and on the other hand, a transition from a-political to political, and indeed politically activist discourse.
Jane Addams’s Education, Hull House, and Current-Day Civic-Engagement Practices in Higher Education
Authors: Wholeben Belinda M. , Weaks-Baxter Mary 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter examines how Jane Addams’s education at Rockford Female Seminary (now Rockford University) foreshadowed her later work, especially as related to Hull House initiatives, and influenced the development of civic-engagement practices in higher education. Looking contextually to parental and 19th-century societal attitudes about charity and benevolence, the chapter details the impact of her studies on her attitudes about a woman’s active participation in society and the evolution of Addams’s public, civic voice. At Rockford, Addams met Hull House cofounder Ellen Gates Starr and was influenced by principal Anna Peck Sill, who charged students with using their education to serve their communities. Addams and her fellow Hull House residents served their community by creating experiential, democratic, educational, and social opportunities for neighboring immigrants. Community needs were assessed and addressed through the lens of feminist pragmatism. The chapter shows how Addams’s approach to civic engagement, developed at Hull House and Rockford Female Seminary, is relevant to contemporary civic-engagement practices at institutions of higher education. These practices include campus-community partnerships, service learning, and participatory action research. Addams’s ideas on the importance of experience, sympathetic understanding, and reciprocity are woven throughout the chapter, and a description of the Jane Addams Center for Civic Engagement at Rockford University brings the legacy of Jane Addams full circle.
Social Minimums and Democracy
Authors: Michelman Frank I. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
If provision for democracy is a requisite feature for the basic structure of any justly ordered political society, and if democracy signifies a social state of relative absence of hierarchies of class, status, or command linked to differentials of wealth, it would seem that a democratic country’s constitution would quite compatibly include provision for a social minimum. If democracy at the same time signifies a political regime of control by current majorities over major directions of government policy, apparent tensions then arise between the social and political significations of democracy. This chapter aims to unpack these tensions and to describe some modes of accommodation of them—conceptual, doctrinal, and institutional—disclosed by current practice and debates.
Twentieth-Century Economic and Social Rights
Authors: Jensen Steven L. B. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Human rights history has been a rapidly expanding field of study over the last decade. Despite this expansion, an actual historiography of economic and social rights has still not emerged. It is problematic for our overall understanding of the evolution of international human rights that this is lagging so much behind. The chapter attempts to lay out how such a historiography could be imagined by focusing on a recentering of decolonization and the period from 1945 to around 1970. Scholarship must become more attentive to the rich intersections between the domestic and the international and between the normative and the experiential in the shaping of human rights after 1945. This will require a greater appreciation of postwar social internationalism and how this worldview made economic and social rights central to the larger human rights project. It will also require rethinking the temporal dimensions of human rights as more paradigmatic and less linear than generally understood. The 1970s represents less a human rights revolution than a human rights contraction where a narrowing of human rights thinking sidelined economic and social rights. Understanding better these historical dynamics may help us rethink how we view the substance of human rights today and how we position economic and social rights in contemporary human rights work.
International Relations and Economic and Social Rights
Authors: Hertel Shareen 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Economic and social rights violations have pushed international relations and corresponding state practices in significant new directions. Stylized theories of realism, institutionalism, and constructivism are rivaled by emerging paradigms that interrogate the nature of power, identity, and progress. Scholars and social movement-based actors are pushing for more complex explanations of why poverty persists and how vulnerabilities deepen despite unparalleled levels of capital accumulation and technological innovation. A geographic focus on state-to-state relations that heretofore left subnational actors, processes and institutions outside the scope of international relations theorists has given way to multilevel understandings of how key actors and groups advance their interests. Research that combines quantitative, qualitative, and experimental data-gathering and analysis has expanded the understanding of threats and potential solutions to longstanding problems of inequality. But the political challenge of altering underlying norms/rules that reinforce marginalization remains—especially given growing environmental constraints and systemwide financial vulnerabilities.
Standing Up a Regulatory Ecosystem for Governing AI Decision-making
Authors: Hudson Valerie M. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The governance of artificial intelligence (AI) decision-making is in its infancy. If a human being holds the foundational rights to know they are interacting with such a system, the right to appeal any decision made by such a system, and the right to litigate harm resulting from a decision undertaken by such a system, then a governance regime must be constructed. Such a regime would not only involve the creation of new governmental institutions to meet that challenge, but would also involve a whole host of ancillary entities and functions which would have to exist for governance to be possible. Such ancillary functions would include standard setting, training, insurance, procurement, identification, archiving, testing, and many others. In this chapter, a holistic overview of what it would take to stand up a functioning, effective, and sustainable regulatory ecosystem for governing AI decision-making is sketched. The roles of system developer, system vendor, system deployer, system regulator, and individuals subject to the system’s decision-making must be fully described, with rights and responsibilities enumerated for each role. While a daunting task, it is not wholly without precedent, as there are interesting parallels to fields such as medical technology. Governments must set in motion the initial legal framework under which this ecosystem can begin to be coherently built, and the time for that to happen is now.
Legal Elements of an AI Regulatory Permit Program
Authors: Higgins Brian Wm. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The potential far-reaching risks some artificial intelligence (AI) technologies pose to human rights and public interests highlight the importance of lawmakers’ present and future decision about what legal regulatory frameworks they will impose on AI companies. One risk-mitigating regulatory approach lawmakers could choose is permitting, whereby government administrators act as market gatekeepers, allowing AI systems to operate in commerce only if they meet specific technical and other standards, and if their owners demonstrate they can operate their systems within acceptable levels of risk while also maintaining compliance with individualized permit terms and conditions. The key legal elements of a national AI permit program are described here, modeled in part on other regulatory permit and general approval schemes used in the U.S. The legal elements are contrasted with a proposed general approval approach for AI-based medical devices and the European Commission’s proposed regulatory framework for AI. Critical differences between the approaches are considered, which reveal how enforcement mechanisms in particular could make a big difference in AI risk reduction.
Technological Unemployment
Authors: Susskind Daniel 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter explores the history of economic thought that focuses on the impact of technological change on the labor market. Until recently, it was hard to study the threat of technological unemployment in the core models in economics. That has now changed. New developments in the literature show we now need to take the threat of a decline in labor demand more seriously than before. From the point of view of AI governance, these developments are significant and attention-worthy: work is both a source of income and of meaning, and if technological progress threatens to cause significant disruption to that work, then understanding the nature of this threat—and how we might respond and shape it—is an important task for all policymakers.
AI and the Economic and Informational Foundations of Democracy
Authors: Boix Carles 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
As has been the case for previous technological revolutions, AI will have economic and informational effects that may impact the nature and stability of democracy. In advanced democracies, AI may lead to economic transformations (such as a growing division between capital and high-skilled labor on the one hand and the rest of labor on the other, wage inequality, etc.) that may result in rising social tensions and democratic instability. However, a rise in productivity and overall growth plus the capacity of democratic governments to respond to those challenges may mitigate the negative effects of AI. AI’s effects are likely to be more strongly de-democratizing in emerging and peripheral economies. With fewer resources to adopt those new technologies, emerging and peripheral economies may be hit by the reshoring of production to advanced economies and fast deindustrialization. That may in turn reduce the kind of economic conditions (development, equality) that nurture democratic stability. AI’s economic effects may be compounded by the informational consequences of AI, which seem to reinforce the monitoring and repressive capabilities of states. After assessing the different channels through which AI could impact democracy, the chapter concludes by discussing a set of policy interventions to reconcile AI and democracy.
The Constitution of Mexico
Authors: Giménez Francisca Pou 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses the main components of the Mexican constitutional system. Constitutionalism and democracy in the country have been fragile and often compromised by economic deprivation, inequality, as well as public and private violence. The 1917 Constitution contains inspiring language and clauses with great transformative potential, but it has been massively amended at the will of political elites, and its current obscurity and length obstruct its legal functions. The chapter presents a description of this long, complex, and ever-changing constitution, featuring its capacious bill of rights; the division of powers provisions; the federal system; the amendment dynamics; and the system of constitutional review, closing with a brief survey of constitutional scholarship.
Participatory Constitution-Making in Latin America
Authors: Negretto Gabriel L. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter analyses the consequences of participatory constitution-making for institutional design. It argues that while citizen involvement in constitutional change provides reformers with incentives to expand human rights and rights of political participation, its impact on the choice of executive powers depends on the diversity of the political interests represented in the constitution-making body. In environments where the economy is weak and unstable and where public trust in legislatures is low, reformers are likely to invest executives with strong legislative powers and citizen participation in the process may not prevent or even be activated to legitimize that decision. In this situation, however, a politically plural constitution-making body is likely to compensate for an increase in the law-making power of the president with a decrease in other dimensions of his power. This argument is supported with evidence from episodes of constitutional change in Latin America from 1940 to 2014.
Foreign Capital and Constitutions
Authors: Alviar García Helena 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter describes three distinct relationships that aim to embrace or disentangle the presence of foreign capital in Latin America, by proposing to interpret the differences through the lens of ideas about economic development: neo-liberalism, dependency theory, and a middle ground referred to ‘the social’. In order to do this, the chapter is divided into three parts. The first part outlines the basic building blocks of these ideas about development. It also lays out additional constitutional categories that should be analysed along with provisions about foreign capital. The second part provides a country example of each one of these theoretical perspectives. Finally, some conclusions and avenues for further research are provided.
Presidentialism and Hyper-Presidentialism in Latin America
Authors: Alegre Marcelo , Maisley Nahuel 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Latin America has traditionally been considered as ‘the land of presidentialism’. This seems to remain an indisputable fact, as most states in the region conform to the classic definition of this form of government: they have (i) directly elected executives with (ii) a fixed term of office. This chapter first attempts to define this ‘hyper-presidentialism’. It then reviews the pros and the cons of this ‘hyper-presidentialist’ model, both in terms of its stability and of its democratic legitimacy. The chapter concludes by putting forward an agenda for reform.
