Biblical Explanations of Exile
Authors: Kraemer David 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses the “traditional” Jewish understanding of exile, asking where it originated and how it became so powerful. The answer lies in the experience of ancient Israel, who saw their kingdom conquered and population exiled. Working with received traditions, they formulated their sacred history to predict and explain this dismal outcome, which, thanks to what the sacred history proposed, was not an end but a beginning. The chapter examines key texts from the Torah, which threaten such a punishment, then the Bible’s historical books and prophets, which see the Babylonian exile as punishment for the wickedness of the Israelites. It asks about the enduring power of this system, which places divine reward and punishment at the center of Israelite fate.
Zion in Babylon
Authors: Kraemer David 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses the confident assertions of diaspora life and prerogative articulated by rabbis in the Babylonian Talmud. When the Jerusalem Temple was destroyed in 70 ce, Jews had to find new ways to live their relationship with God. The group that formulated those new ways was the rabbis, who imagined a Judaism that could flourish without a Temple, even far from the Land of Israel. The most important site of this development was Babylon, where the rabbis created a document that defined Judaism for centuries—the Talmud. The Talmud made diaspora Jewish life richer than could have been imagined, while expressing new views regarding “exile” that influenced Jews for generations. The opinions expressed in the Talmud do much to undermine the centrality of Zion and assert the legitimacy of the diaspora.
Modern Jews on Diaspora
Authors: Kraemer David 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter considers Jewish responses to diaspora in the twentieth century. At this time, Jews experienced unparalleled growth and creativity in the western diasporas, joining general society in a fuller way than ever before. But all was not idyllic. Pogroms, followed by the Holocaust, made it clear how tenuous Jewish “at-homeness” could be. Yet even after the Holocaust, surviving centers saw a surge in Jewish life. In America, Jews thrived, and in Palestine, a new Jewish state was born. How could a Jew make sense of a world in which it was both “the best” and “the worst of times”? Those offering profound reflections on these conditions, while continuing to defend diaspora, included philosopher Franz Rosenzweig, historian Yehezkel Kaufmann, and social critic, Hannah Arendt. Artists and writers, too, offered defenses of Diaspora, including Philip Roth, Ruby Namdar, and even renowned Israeli author Shai Agnon.
Mary Shepherd's An Essay Upon the Relation of Cause and Effect
Authors: 9780197649657  
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Mary Shepherd’s An Essay upon the Relation of Cause and Effect, first published in 1824, was a pioneering work in metaphysics and epistemology. Together with her 1827 Essays on the Perception of an External Universe, they make her one of the most important philosophers of her era. Although widely neglected by the history of philosophy in the decades after her death, her works have recently begun to attract the attention and sustained study they deserve. In the course of her writings, Shepherd offers trenchant and detailed rebuttals of the arguments and conclusions of many prominent predecessors—including George Berkeley, Thomas Reid, Dugald Stewart, Thomas Brown, William Lawrence, and especially David Hume—but she is no merely negative thinker. On the contrary, her critiques are always in the service of her own distinctive and highly original doctrines, which are of striking contemporary interest. Appearing two hundred years after its original publication, this is the first full modern edition of her first book, which presents and defends the theory of causation and scientific knowledge that constitutes the cornerstone of her entire philosophy. The edition includes an extensive introduction and scholarly notes throughout that provide historical and philosophical context while explaining the central ideas of the work. It also includes Shepherd’s two essays published in 1828 and all of her known letters—all but one of them published here for the first time—which shed significant additional light on her philosophical ideas.
The Internet Remaking of Memory
Authors: Wang Qi , Hoskins Andrew 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter offers an introduction to this ambitious volume by way of a dialogue between the two editors, Qi Wang and Andrew Hoskins, from their different disciplinary traditions and perspectives (human and social sciences, respectively). It probes the key issues and effects of the remaking of memory in the Internet Age and the challenges for its interdisciplinary study, and the unique visionary, theoretical, methodological, and empirical advances made by the contributors to the volume. The chapter discusses how this volume sets a milestone for the study of memory in the age of the Internet and social media and provides guidance for future investigations. It highlights the theoretical frameworks, methodological recommendations, and firsthand empirical data that are rich resources for researchers, practitioners, and platform designers interested in how the social and technological features of a social media platform influence people’s engagement online and shape individual and collective memories.
The Forgetting Ecology
Authors: Hoskins Andrew 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The idea of an active, willed, functional, deliberating human memory as fundamentally part of human identity that functionally changes with time is threatened by a shift from a healthy reliance to a dependency on social media and related technologies, an addiction, a placing of the past beyond our control. With these shifts toward ever greater digital participation and entanglement, what is our remaining past? This chapter argues that the dependency on apps, platforms, networks, and all the vagaries of the Internet shapes a systemized and inescapable ecology of forgetting. Through a framework of “ecology”, a past that is crushed between unrealistic expectations of total memory management and the impossibility of both forgetting and of ever being forgotten, becomes graspable.
Continued Influence of Misinformation and the Information Disorder
Authors: Tay Li Qian , Ecker Ullrich K. H. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Internet has made it easier than ever to produce and consume misinformation, contributing to the pollution of the information environment—also referred to as the “information disorder.” One particularly pernicious aspect of misinformation is that it often influences individuals’ reasoning and decision-making even after clear corrections. This lingering influence is known as the continued influence effect and stems from a range of factors, including failures in memory integration and retrieval. This chapter provides a theoretical synthesis of the information-disorder and continued-influence literature, paying particular attention to the following three questions: (1) What individual and contextual factors exacerbate misinformation influence? (2) How can interventions address the information disorder? (3) What are some key methodological opportunities and challenges? To this end, the chapter presents a graphical-causal model of information disorder, aligns existing interventions along the model, and provides reasons for how psychological insights may reduce unwanted ancillary impacts and enhance intervention effectiveness.
Between Coping and Commodification
Authors: Niemeyer Katharina , Keightley Emily 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter focuses on nostalgia as a specific mode of remembering, especially on social media platforms and media environments. The affordances of digital technology, have allowed nostalgia to be embedded into processes of media production, content, and use on an unprecedented scale. By taking into consideration the historical and epistemological shifts of nostalgia as a theoretical concept and an active practice within psychology, memory studies, literature, and anthropology, the chapter provides insights into significant conceptual frameworks and recent empirical studies that have emerged in media, sociology, and cultural studies that discuss the multifaceted and ambiguous nature of nostalgic remembering as a dynamic relationship between coping, loss, and commodification.
The Experimentation Principle
Authors: Fisher Greg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Entrepreneurial progress entails experimenting to get stakeholder feedback on possible solutions. It’s impossible for an entrepreneur to know upfront which solutions will work best to solve the problem they intend to address. To discover this, they need to test out potential solutions with target stakeholders. This entails testing product types, customer segments, recruitment tactics, pitch design, marketing messages, channels, and processes with key stakeholders including customers, investors, and others. A founder can use data from such tests to learn about the best possible solution to address the focal problem. Carefully experimenting to uncover the best possible solution entails specifying the vision for a product or service, laying out the critical assumptions, developing a prototype, specifying the target audience, running an experiment with that target audience, and then iterating or persevering based on the outcome of the experiment.
The Hustle Principle
Authors: Fisher Greg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Entrepreneurial progress entails acting in urgent, unorthodox ways to overcome challenges. Entrepreneurship is about action. It’s about an individual or small team recognizing that they have the agency and ability to do something meaningful. But to do that, often they need to act in ways that are unorthodox and do so with a sense of urgency. Acting in ways that are unorthodox means going beyond the obvious to solve problems, embracing novel, creative, and often surprising ways to overcome challenges. Acting with a sense of urgency entails pushing and rushing to make things happen more quickly than might seem reasonable. Entrepreneurs recognize that they are the energy behind what they are doing; they can’t rely on anyone else to generate that energy and make things happen. Combining urgency and unorthodoxy allows an entrepreneur to get things done and achieve outcomes that might not otherwise be achievable.
Conclusion
Authors: Fisher Greg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Can entrepreneurship be distilled down to a core set of ideas or principles that, if applied consistently, would help anyone navigate the complexity and uncertainty of embarking on the entrepreneurial journey? This is the question I set out to answer here. The 12 principles I have shared in this book are what I view as the core to making progress as a venture founder. Applying these principles does not guarantee success, but doing so will certainly give you a better chance of making meaningful progress toward a more successful outcome. So, if you wish to embark on an entrepreneurial path, then these principles can help you make progress. They are not silver bullets or secret recipes. They are merely simple, fundamental ideas that enable microbursts of progress on the messy, often challenging path of launching, building, and growing a new venture.

This book invites all interested in cultivating a higher level of group artistry to gain a deeper understanding of working productively and joyfully within a musical ensemble. The concepts and techniques in this book help artists develop a vocabulary and tools to refine their music making process and learn how to work well as a team. It offers a systematic approach to individual preparation for rehearsal, score study, planning and implementing a constructive and effective rehearsal, and the interpretive process. The authors address tension and conflict within groups, including strategies for working well together and creating a healthy environment for rehearsals and performances. Approaches for researching and discovering the context, character, and meaning of musical works, as well as collaborating with living composers are highlighted. The final chapters include practical techniques, organized by their intended purpose for everyday use in rehearsals and teaching. Based on forty years of rehearsing, performing, and teaching by the Cavani Quartet, these techniques are designed to give each ensemble member an equal voice in the interpretive process while solving technical issues. Detailed explanations of the rehearsal techniques and guidance for chamber music students and teachers are illustrated with photos, diagrams, and score examples. Topics include cueing and breathing, rhythmic alignment and ensemble, intonation, sound production, projecting expression, strategic listening, and balance. The final chapter includes a capstone technique called LBAD (Live, Breathe, and Die) that heightens the connection between ensemble members through nonverbal communication. Video demonstrations of selected techniques are included on the companion website.
Individual Preparation
Authors: Fullard Annie , Cotter-Lockard Dorianne 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Individual preparation is integral to a successful chamber music experience. This chapter offers a systematic approach to individual preparation for rehearsal. Chamber music playing requires that each ensemble member is responsible for contributing as an equal partner to the team. Included are sections on preparing parts and scores, practicing one’s individual part, developing an interpretation, and what to bring to rehearsal. The chapter concludes with a discussion of co-leadership: Each ensemble member should assume a leadership role to ensure all voices are heard during rehearsal. Co-leadership implies that each member contributes equally when playing together. A description of the ideal member of a high-functioning chamber music group includes the following qualities: supportive, inspirational, honest, committed, passionate, reflective, decisive, creative, and problem-solver.
Techniques for Strategic Listening and Balance
Authors: Fullard Annie , Cotter-Lockard Dorianne 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The techniques in this chapter focus on improving and deepening listening skills. Strategic listening is the ability to highlight different musical lines. Establishing a balance between voices can be challenging for all types of ensembles and repertoire. The techniques in this chapter offer solutions to problems related to balance and voicing. These practices aid in the production of a resonant, well-balanced, integrated sound. Included are a listening game and techniques to highlight musical lines within the ensemble, switching seats to force listening to different ensemble members, and playing with backs to each other. These techniques also serve as effective team building activities.
“HIP for All” or Specialized Training
Authors: Landerkin Kelly , Michon Claire 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter presents different approaches of European educational institutions in the field of early music. In order to offer the widest possible spectrum of educational possibilities for a diverse population of aspiring professionals in the historical music sector, both specialist academies and generalist institutions are vital and necessary forms of vocational and academic training centers. Regardless of the institutional type, central to the learning environment is the close connection between musical performance and research. Recent developments in the field of historical music pedagogy add new dimensions to the teaching and learning of historical music and to the performance possibilities of the next generation.
The New Dutch Recorder Sound of the 1960s
Authors: Ehrlich Robert 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In the 1950s the recorder was perceived by its advocates and its detractors alike as an essentially inexpressive musical instrument: “objective,” “clear,” “undifferentiated,” and “poor in affect.” The Dutch virtuoso Frans Brüggen challenged this paradigm, pioneering a profound transformation encompassing instrument design, repertoire, and playing style in the mid-1960s. Despite some initial hostility, particularly among amateur players in the United Kingdom, the new expressivity cultivated by Brüggen and his students in the Netherlands soon won over critics, captivated new audiences, and inspired an unprecedentedly large number of professional musicians to choose the recorder as their principal or even sole instrument.
Conclusion
Authors: Paris William M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This conclusion summarizes the arguments made throughout the book concerning a “critical theory of utopia.” Utopia is not the work of creating blueprints of what a future society will look like. The work of utopia is to bring agents to confront the limits of their form of life so that they may transcend them. The critical work of utopia is always “untimely” insofar as it must be estranged from the present form of life while always in response to it. By making clear the gap between present experience and the future expectation of a new form of life utopia can make space for agents to act and bring about an emancipated society.
German Unification in NATO
Authors: Ross Dennis 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses how effective statecraft by the Bush 41st administration made the seemingly impossible unification of Germany and its integration into NATO possible. Recognizing the enormity of the stakes, President George H. W. Bush and Secretary of State James Baker exercised statecraft superbly by framing the issue early on, creating a process that included the Soviets in managing the issue, addressing the Soviet need for an explanation, using back channels and constant consultation to preempt problems, and helping Gorbachev get cash and a line of credit when he needed it. The chapter also discusses the role of public diplomacy and back channel relationships in effective statecraft and explains how those elements, along with luck and timing, produced a unified Germany in NATO against all odds.
Lessons of Statecraft for Today
Authors: Ross Dennis 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Synthesizing the lessons of the prior chapters' case studies, this chapter explains the common factors that affect the effectiveness of statecraft. The author explains the impact of timing and context, emotional and physical fatigue, and Presidential leadership, including the president's decisiveness, on how statecraft has been practiced, and how this should be taken into consideration for future global challenges. The chapter also highlights that the case studies yield common lessons, chief among them the need for real, local partners and the ineffectiveness of finely calibrated response in effectively deterring adversaries. Governmental harmony is also discussed as a crucial element of good statecraft; poor statecraft almost always is characterized by division and dysfunction. In the good cases of statecraft, there was a good understanding of the circumstances and a recognition of America’s leverage and how to apply it. Just the opposite has been true in the cases of poor statecraft.
Suspicion, Surveillance, and Survival in Kashmir
Authors: Bhan Mona 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this chapter, the author draws on her research in Indian-occupied Kashmir’s densely militarized villages to show how the state’s policing of territorial boundaries went hand in hand with the policing of wayward relationships. The author examines how, even before the Bharatiya Janata Party’s rise to power, doing ethnography as a young, female Kashmiri was difficult and often treacherous. She recounts numerous instances of sexual(ized) harassment by senior members of the Indian military and broader societal questioning of her decision, as a Hindu woman, to be in a relationship with a Muslim man. The author also explains how she ended up being surveilled by the military after she wrote a report on a particular village for a colonel who later ended up falling under investigation.
Gender and Societal Expectations
Authors: Jumet Kira D. , Mekouar Merouan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter provides strategies for addressing obstacles concerning native scholars’ gender identity and related societal expectations. While gender may be a challenge for academics conducting fieldwork in any setting, scholars researching in their native illiberal or socially conservative countries cannot benefit from the relative tolerance extended to their non-native colleagues and must adhere to local cultural norms and societal expectations. Violating cultural codes of conduct may adversely impact the reputation of not only native scholars but also their families, while abiding by these restrictions may impede data collection. In addition to examining the types of harassment native researchers face (e.g., sexism and sexual[ized] harassment) and how to address these risks to their safety and emotional well-being, the authors also review ways in which both men and women native researchers can navigate their gender-segregated societies to access interviewees of the opposite gender and gather data.
“Come Back as a Piece, Not Pieces”
Authors: Ibrahim Musa 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses the author’s fieldwork during the Boko Haram crisis in northern Nigeria between 2014 and 2020. At that time, non-native scholars were avoiding conducting fieldwork in the region due to security challenges such as kidnappings for ransom by jihadist and banditry groups. While the author was subjected to a wide range of security threats related to his fieldwork, his position as a native scholar in his home country at times proved to be an asset. However, as a Nigerian living in the diaspora, his insider-outsider status presented obstacles. In this chapter, the researcher offers self-critical perspectives that highlight the rigorous questioning of his own positionality, moments of confusion in regard to being both an insider and outsider, and instances of shared experiences and solidarity that characterize knowledge production in the field.
Legal Threats and Red Lines
Authors: Jumet Kira D. , Mekouar Merouan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In repressive regimes, rule of law is often arbitrary and interpretations subject to the whims of those in power. Laws may be phrased vaguely to allow for their application against a broad spectrum of dissenting voices, and the government may take extrajudicial approaches (e.g., enforced disappearances) to manage opposition. One major set of challenges that researchers conducting fieldwork in their native repressive countries face is legal threats from their home government. This chapter provides strategies for addressing fieldwork obstacles and risks related to the particular red lines and legal threats that scholars researching in their repressive and/or illiberal home countries face, including banning and purging. The authors discuss the dilemma of whether to self-censor, the potential consequences of choosing to express oneself freely, the confusion surrounding whether to obtain official government research authorization, and the possibility of various types of government retaliation.
