Creative Interactions in Collaborative Songwriting

Discovering the Romani Sounds of Krakow

MARTIN AND HASWELL-MARTIN

Series Editors Simon McVeigh University of London Abigail Wood University of Haifa

This Element offers insight into the creative interactions that shape collaborative songwriting in the twenty-first Century. It explores how musical creativity is distributed and affectively framed by interactions between people, spaces, tools, and industrial forces. It features the analysis of in-depth interviews with professional songwriters and integrates conceptual resources from phenomenology, enactive cognitive science, and ecological psychology to offer a novel understanding of creative consciousness as involving individual and shared affective resonances and atmospheres. Section 1 explores how patterns of affect are manifest and regulated in creative interactions. Section 2 confronts the relation between affective experience and musicians’ senses of autonomy and agency. Section 3 illuminates songmakers’ experiences of solitary and shared worlds during collaborations with a focus on environment and creative atmospheres.

About the Series This series opens up new ways of thinking about music in an urban context, embracing the widest diversity of music and sound in cities across the world. Breaking down boundaries between historical and contemporary, and between popular and high art, it seeks to illuminate urban soundspaces in all their exhilarating and vivid complexity.

PIOTROWSKA

The Parisian Musical Avant-Garde during the Great War brings music in the city to life during and immediately after the conflict. It tells the extraordinary story of singer Jane Bathori, who became temporary director of an avant-garde theatre in Paris, the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier. Drawing on a wide inter-artistic network, Bathori collaborated with writers, set designers, choreographers, performers and composers to create highly original programmes by commissioning new works, reviving early music, staging chamber opera, mixing high art music with folk, popular and patriotic songs, and incorporating literary events. Bathori is remembered for her advocacy of composers such as Ravel, Satie, Poulenc and Milhaud, but was systematically written out of theatre history. Drawing on a rich range of archival materials, this Element shows that her wartime artistic action sparked inter-artistic collaborations and shaped interwar musical taste, alongside figures such as Serge Diaghilev and Jean Cocteau.

CLASSICAL STUDIES

SUNDARAM TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY MEDIA AESTHETICS AND THE POLITICAL

Drawing together scholars from cinema, anthropology, law, contemporary art, and media theory across Asia, Europe, and North America, TwentyFirst-Century Media Aesthetics and the Political has its finger right on the pulse of a crucial development in contemporary digital networks—that is, the changing relationships between aesthetics, technology, and politics. A genuinely transnational and transdisciplinary account of how media infrastructures are reshaping political life in the twenty-first century, it challenges the idea that global technocultures are predominantly Western, dismantling older notions of a digital divide between North and South, West and East. Instead, it shows that subaltern populations are at the core of the new ecologies of massification and their sensory infrastructures. An essential reading!

Aural Liminalities in New Music

Workers’ Song Research and Folk Revival in the Eastern Bloc

Music and the City

The distinction between ‘hearing’ and ‘listening’ marks two modes of aural sense: one passive, the other actively attentive. Yet movement between them—deliberate or inadvertent— reveals liminal states that are neither fully hearing nor listening, a sense of the sonorous that exceeds the reach of these singular terms. Such thresholds have preoccupied latetwentieth– and twenty-first-century New Music composers and philosophers. This Element brings their work into dialogue to explore how these aural liminalities might be conceived. Central to the study is a close reading of the implicit liminalities in Jean-Luc Nancy’s Listening (2007), which provides a framework for engaging works by Gérard Grisey, Luigi Nono, Pauline Oliveros, Morton Feldman, Bryn Harrison, and the Wandelweiser collective. By examining listening philosophies alongside musical parameters, the study amalgamates the fringes of language and sense—it is through the resulting dissonances that aural liminalities might be articulated.

COOPER

The Día de la toma [Conquest Day], held every 2nd January, celebrates the Catholic ‘reconquest’ of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada (1492), which resulted in the collapse of Muslim Spain. The festival has become politicised by ultra-nationalist, anti-immigration groups, as well as Andalusian regionalist movements that want the event to become a ‘festival of tolerance’. This Element examines the ‘soundtrack’ of the festival in dialogue with work on music and politics, sound studies, cultural memory and affect. From fascist anthems, to chants and flamenco fusions, music and sound serve conflicting readings of Granada’s cultural memory. This Element argues that musical and sonic protest delineates conflicting political and territorial positions in a city that is polarised along regionalist vs nationalist and multiculturalist vs nativist lines. Moreover, the Element contends that the festival highlights an ambivalence towards the city’s Muslim community, and so it considers how this community is sounded and silenced at the event.

Memorialising the ‘Reconquista’ of Spain

This Element explores workers’ song research, a dominant strand of music scholarship in the Eastern Bloc and one of the earliest to engage with musical practices beyond the domains of art music and peasant folklore. It traces the institutionalization of this field, the changing interests of its representatives, and the ways in which, from the 1960s onward, they built regional networks and established dialogue with actors of the Western folk revival. Through these networks and exchanges, the repertoires and key performers of the international folk scene gained visibility behind the Iron Curtain. Yet the ‘folk revival’ assumed an ambivalent character there, as communist governments and cultural institutions sought to appropriate and elevate it to a central position within the popular music sphere. The study focuses primarily on Hungary, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia, highlighting the role of local scholars in linking different musical traditions and in shaping state-sponsored folk scenes.

Ancient Philosophy

Aristotle’s Theory of Justice in Exchange

About the Series The Elements in Ancient Philosophy series deals with a wide variety of topics and texts in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, written by leading scholars in the field. Taking a theme, question, or type of argument, some Elements explore it across antiquity and beyond. Others look in detail at an ancient author, a specific work, or a part of a longer work, considering its structure, content, and significance, or explore more directly ancient perspectives on modern philosophical questions.

GORDON

This Element provides a systematic analysis of Aristotle’s theory of justice in exchange as developed in Nicomachean Ethics Book V. It examines Aristotle’s distinction between voluntary exchanges (commutative justice) and involuntary transactions (corrective justice), explaining how proportional reciprocity in voluntary exchange secures an equitable balance between parties of different contributions, while corrective justice redresses unjust gains and losses in involuntary transgressions. Key concepts such as proportional reciprocity and the arithmetic mean are explored to show how Aristotle’s vision of fair exchange underpins civic stability. The analysis also highlights Aristotle’s notion of fairness (epieikeia) as a principled adjustment of rigid legal norms, illustrating how equitable judgement supplements strict justice to accommodate particular cases. Overall, the Element clarifies Aristotle’s distinctions and principles, linking the ethics of equality and reciprocity to their practical application in law and commerce.

This Element discusses the relation between the ethical and religious as key concepts in Kierkegaard’s works. Instead of viewing the ethical and religious mainly as different stages on life’s way, it identifies different connections between ethical and religious considerations, reasons, and values. By discussing Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac in Fear and Trembling, it argues that – despite appearances – religion does not undermine but rather supports moral constraints. However, Kierkegaard is clear that our moral requirements exceed our natural capabilities, something that makes divine assistance morally necessary. Thus, religious belief seems supported by moral reasons. Still, we often recognize moral truth without seeing the metaphysical and theological implications of morality. Therefore, moral agents need not be religious believers, although morality nevertheless has metaphysical and theological implications if Kierkegaard is correct. Specifically, Kierkegaard seems to combine realism regarding value with the view that some moral requirements are divinely commanded.

Greek Culture in the Roman World

This Element explores the roles of animals in the Iron Age and Persian periods, times of major environmental, social, and political change. It examines how livestock and wild animals were managed, exchanged, and consumed across diverse communities, and how these practices reflected social organization, negotiated identities, and political authority. By integrating zooarchaeological evidence with historical context, the study shows that herding strategies were shaped by political economies and exchange, that identity and ritual were negotiated through dynamic foodways rather than fixed cultural markers, and that climate provided background conditions without determining human choices. Organized thematically around economy, culture, and environment, each examined diachronically from the Iron Age to the Persian period, and concluding with a long-term synthesis, this study demonstrates that human–animal relations were central to processes of decision-making, adaptation, and social change.

Kierkegaard’s Stages on Life’s Way belongs to what by 1845 can be understood as the romantic tradition, itself containing members related by both blood and adoption to those in the Christian tradition. By far the greatest portion of this Element is devoted to the portrait of an ethically enervated, anonymous troubadour turned troglodyte whose peculiar diary is accidentally found locked in a box with the key inside at the bottom of a pond. To bring up and out what animates this central character, the initial portions of stages on the despairing ambivalence of a group of tipsy bachelors and the pedantic moralizing of an anonymous husband unfold the interpersonal ideals at play in pursuit of a meaningful life all told. Following suit, the diary recounts a troubled love affair, which is, as Kierkegaard says elsewhere, “always a usable theme in relation to what it means to exist.”

This volume offers a sustained examination of ancient Greek philosophical accounts of truth.

Truth and Relativism in Ancient Philosophy

The Philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Nawar and Duncombe

In recent years, John McDowell and Robert Brandom have developed influential interpretations of Hegel’s thought. It is often assumed that their work is complementary, which is why they are said to be members of the same philosophical school, the Pittsburgh School. In this book, the author asks the question of whether they actually are part of the same school by examining their readings of the Phenomenology of Spirit. On the one hand, their readings of the text significantly diverge. While McDowell reads the Phenomenology in a therapeutic spirit, Brandom reads it as constructing a complex pragmatic-semantic theory. But, on the other hand, they both read the text as an account of thought and experience that, while avoiding the Myth of the Given, is nonetheless able to vindicate its objectivity. For this reason, the author argues that McDowell and Brandom belong to the same philosophical school.

Hegel on Freedom and Ethical Life

GENTRY

This Element is about the relationship between the political thought of the German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel (1770–1831) and a tradition of political thinking known as republicanism that traces its roots at least to fifteenth-century Florence and perhaps further back to Aristotle. Throughout, we will be investigating this relationship along two dimensions. First, we will be asking whether it advances our understanding of Hegel’s thought to consider him to be a republican, and if so, in what way and to what extent. The point here is not to assimilate Hegel to a cause or a label, but to see whether the individual outlines of Hegel’s thought might be brought into focus by adopting the lens of republicanism. Second, we will be considering whether Hegel’s thought offers criticism of various other forms of republicanism and how we might evaluate that criticism.

Ancient Philosophy

Plato’s Medicinal Politics and Its Hippocratic Entwinement

A broad examination of the Classical Athenian Stratēgoi as magistrates and military leaders showcases their autonomy and authority.

LIU

This Element argues that Plato’s medical language in political contexts is not mere metaphor but a medical model of political analysis. Centering on the Republic, it shows how Plato adopts, critiques, and reworks Hippocratic ideas to diagnose, explain, evaluate, and treat political conditions. The payoff is a solution to a central puzzle: how the ideal city can be exceptionally stable yet liable to degenerate into vice. Its stability, I argue, consists in a robustness and resilience analogous to bodily health, sustained by protective institutions and practices; its fragility lies in the inevitable fallibility of those protections, which cannot indefinitely prevent, arrest, or reverse corruption over time. The Element then identifies a corrupt paideia – understood as a city-wide system of acculturation – as the singular, foundational cause of political degeneration, and closes by drawing lessons about the limits and prospects of genuine reform.

Sex Work and Crime Fiction

About the Series Publishing groundbreaking research from scholars and practitioners of crime writing in its many dynamic and evolving forms, this series examines and re-examines crime narratives as a global genre which began on the premise of entertainment, but quickly evolved to probe pressing political and sociological concerns, along with the human condition.

WACHTER-GRENE

This Element argues that the sex worker character in crime narratives, often dismissed as a flat stereotype or mere plot device, actively performs crucial narratological labor that shapes the novel’s realism and challenges conventional understandings of character, agency, and social reproduction. By applying Alex Woloch’s theory of character-space and drawing on contemporary Black feminist scholarship that privileges power, pleasure, and desire, this study reveals how sex worker characters, through their evolving representation from marginal figures to central agents, resist narrative containment and illuminate broader socio-cultural tensions surrounding gender, class, and authority within the genre.

Listening to Early Modern Travel Writing

About the Series Seeking to publish short, research-led yet accessible studies of the foundational ‘elements’ within Gothic Studies as well as showcasing new and emergent lines of scholarly enquiry, this innovative series brings to a range of specialist and non-specialist readers some of the most exciting developments in recent Gothic scholarship.

Emilie K. M. Murphy

This Element reconsiders the historical, theoretical, racial, ableist, and editorial problem of genealogy by analyzing to-be-spoken genealogies in two plays in the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio: the “Salic Law” speech in Henry V and the “seven sons” scene in Henry VI, Part Two. Both passages also exist in a significantly The Gothicvariant version in The Chronicle History of Henry the fift (1600) and The First Part of the Contention (1594). The differences between the two versions of the biological/bloodline genealogy have been central to the long-dominant theory of “bad quartos.” That theory assumes that early modern chroniclers and playwrights shared the values of modern archival historians: They assume that Shakespeare prioritized accuracy over acting. The authors offer an alternative reading of genealogies written to be performed onstage as “documentary effects,” adapted for changing audiences in a new multimedia entertainment industry. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Vegetarian Gothic

Elements in Travel Writing

The first comprehensive study of Crabbe’s medical influence on his poetry and philosophy.

Louisa Meredith, Essie Jenyns and Shakespeare’s Second Folio in Colonial Australia

ISSN 2634-8713 (print)

Vegetarian Gothic analyses the representation of vegetarianism in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818), the World War I writings of Arthur Machen, and Han Kang’s The Vegetarian (2007). These texts from different eras (and nations) are placed into critical dialogue through the application of ideas drawn from objectoriented ontology (OOO), and theories of ecological awareness. The vegetarian is represented in highly ambivalent ways. At one level, the vegetarian is associated with Gothic otherness but also represented as potentially bringing together humans and animals in a complex holistic, utopian understanding of the natural world. This model of belonging to nature is at odds with a Gothic dystopia, which seeks to demonise the radical potential of vegetarianism.

A new account of how Shakespeare and his contemporaries approached playwrighting, based on the period’s multifaceted playgoing culture.

SOBECKI

This Element argues that it was not just the application of medieval texts by Richard Hakluyt that made them relevant for England’s budding colonial ideology; rather, it shows that these premodern texts already conveyed the essence of the expansionist mercantilism and colonialist imperialism that would characterise early English exceptionalism and the Elizabethan reach for the Americas. The upshot of the author’s argument is threefold. First, Hakluyt and his contemporaries were much better and closer readers of medieval travel texts than we give them credit for; second, the ideology behind English colonialism was shaped in the late medieval period, not in Elizabethan England; and third, another facet of periodisation, with its epistemological emphasis on rupture rather than continuity, comes under pressure.

This Element offers the first comprehensive study of George Crabbe’s engagement with medical thought and practice in his poetry. Drawing on his interest in illness, care, and healing as a trained physician, surgeon, apothecary, and obstetrician, it addresses how his medical expertise and awareness inform his assessment of social problems, his perspective on the role of a poet, and his views on education and religion. The study examines the intersection between Crabbe’s poetic achievement and medical discourse in advancing humanist healing for mind and soul, and explores how his verse registers systemic and ethical issues surrounding poverty, addiction, intoxication, and madness through an unsentimental and truthful style. By tracing the moral and social implications of the connection between medical vision and poetic philosophy, it recovers Crabbe as a significant poet-physician of the long eighteenth century and invites renewed attention to the cultural work of his poetry in health and medicine.

Rage in Caribbean Women’s Writing

plex dentities.

g ground

Rage is having a moment. It is everywhere, among men, women, and children, but particularly among feminists. This Element is a concentrated meditation on women’s rage in Bruised Hibiscus (2000) and Negra (2013), two novels by and about Caribbean women. The authors explore how expressions of rage braided with feminist solidarity figure in these novels and how this mixture produces affective and political responses to racism and gender-based violence. Their focus on the contours of Caribbean women’s rage advances feminist thought on rage as a political tool of power. In selected readings of the two novels, the study identifies feminist solidarity as an essential and shared factor in the discursive expression of Caribbean women’s rage: The authors argue that the female protagonists in Bruised Hibiscus and Negra articulate their rage differently but use it similarly to claim the power to resist, if not to eradicate, racism, gender-based violence, and sex shaming.

Eighteenth-Century Connections

Views of Roman History

Leo Shipp is a cultural historian of eighteenth-century Britain. He has published a monograph, The Poets Laureate of the Long Eighteenth Century, 1668–1813: Courting the Public (Royal Historical Society: 2022), and taught numerous modules on British and European history, 1485–1815.

SHIPP

William Whitehead’s The Roman Father (1750) was the most prominent Roman play in late eighteenth-century Britain, and highly revealing of how Britons engaged with Roman history. This Element begins by surveying all eighteenth-century Roman plays, and shows that they focused on what it calls ‘the transhistorical Roman character’, typically set against a more historically specific depiction of Rome. It proceeds to explore The Roman Father’s text, reviews, performance history, and links to other aspects of historical culture. It argues that, of the three attitudes to history present in eighteenthcentury Britain – the exemplary, historicist, and sentimentalist – all three were active in the theatrical context, but took genre-specific forms. Nonetheless, the changing attitudes visible in the theatre between 1750 and 1800 testify to changing attitudes to Roman history outside the theatre too: the decline of the exemplary attitude and the transhistorical Roman character, and the increasing prevalence of historicism and sentimentalism.

Environmental Humanities

Mar Menor

About the Series The environmental humanities is a new transdisciplinary complex of approaches to the embeddedness of human life and culture in all the dynamics that characterize the life of the planet. These approaches reexamine our species’ history in light of the intensifying awareness of drastic climate change and ongoing mass extinction. To engage this reality, Cambridge Elements in Environmental Humanities builds on the idea of a more hybrid and participatory mode of research and debate, connecting critical and creative fields.

Views of Roman History

BERNAL

The Mar Menor, Europe’s largest saltwater coastal lagoon, was long sustained by high salinity and low-nutrient waters that supported remarkable biodiversity. Since the late twentieth century, however, intensive tourism, industrial agriculture linked to the Tagus–Segura water transfer, and legacy mining pollution have driven accelerating ecological degradation. The eutrophication crisis of 2016 and the mass anoxic events of 2019 and 2021, which caused extensive marine dieoffs, marked a profound ecological and political rupture. In response, a civic movement led by Teresa Vicente achieved an unprecedented outcome in 2022: the lagoon was granted legal personality, becoming the first ecosystem in Europe to obtain such status. This Element examines the social, legal, and scientific transformations surrounding this case and argues that recognising the lagoon as a subject opens new possibilities for rethinking human–nature relations and imagining more-thanhuman political communities grounded in ecological justice.

English literature

This is a meticulously researched book on an area—the Anthropocene and multispecies cohabitation—that is increasingly becoming quite important in India within the larger domain of environmental humanities. Baishya has painstakingly elaborated on a complex and nuanced theoretical approach to engage with and understand multispecies cohabitation in recent Indian English literary texts. That he has chosen to write on both animals and plants makes this book diverse and inclusive. Also positing the Anthropocene as polycrisis enables the discussion of multiple critical issues and their entanglements or complex relationships. It is also inclusive by way of the locational spread or planetary expanse—metropolitan centre and borderlands— that the primary texts deal with. This increases the value of the book and will be of interest to a wide array of readers interested in different issues and regions. Sutanuka Ghosh, Jadavpur University

The Wise Club

Origins of Common Sense in the Aberdeen Philosophical Society, 1758–1773 Academic climate research in the Global North, whether in the physical sciences or the humanities, tends to be less attuned to voices from the Global South, despite the latter region’s greater vulnerability to climate impacts. To some extent, this mirrors the modern human’s to the existence of and our relationships with our nonhuman fellow sojourners. Charlesblindness Bradford Bow Attunement to Others pushes back against both the academic hegemony of the North and

modernity’s notion of human exceptionalism by foregrounding more-than-human speculative fictions and theoretical framings from the Global South, with special attention to South Asia. A horizon-expanding work of crucial relevance for negotiating the fraught present and the looming possible futures of South Asia and the planet. Vandana Singh, Framingham State University

Theoretically rich, deeply researched, and skillfully argued, Attunement to Others offers a compelling and highly original account of multispecies intimacies in twentieth-and twentyfirst-century Indian literatures in English. Covering a range of topics, including the zoopolis, climate change, and arboreality, the book offers fresh readings of both well-known and understudied texts, with special attention to the rich literature of Northeast India. It situates fine-grained close readings within cutting-edge theoretical discussions and is a must-read for scholars and students of postcolonial studies, indigeneity, and ecocriticism—in South Asia, the Global South, and beyond.

Eighteenth-Century Connections

The Wise Club

Charles Bradford Bow is a Senior Lecturer in History and Deputy Director of the Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies at the University of Aberdeen.

BOW

The Wise Club reconstructs the collaborative intellectual culture in which the Scottish philosophy of common sense first emerged in the Aberdeen Philosophical Society between 1758 and 1773. Rather than attributing this school of thought to a single founder, the study traces how David Skene, John Gregory, Thomas Reid, George Campbell, Alexander Gerard, and James Beattie developed distinct yet compatible inquiries across different branches of knowledge through a disciplined culture of inquiry. Their collective commitment to an inductive investigation of the original faculties of the human mind extended common sense beyond epistemology to natural history, medicine, rhetoric, aesthetics, moral philosophy, and imaginative literature. Drawing on unpublished discourses, abstracted discussions, lecture notes, and correspondence, this Element situates the Wise Club in a formative context that produced canonical works of the Scottish Enlightenment and reinterprets common sense philosophy as a characteristic method of inquiry rather than a unified doctrinal system.

Language and linguistics

BUMFORD AND CHARLOW

This Element covers the interaction of two research areas: linguistic semantics and deep learning. It focuses on three phenomena central to natural language interpretation: reasoning and inference, compositionality, and extralinguistic grounding. Representation of these phenomena in recent neural models is discussed, along with the quality of these representations and ways to evaluate them (datasets, tests, measures). The Element closes with suggestions on possible deeper interactions between theoretical semantics and language technology based on deep learning models.

Effect-Driven Interpretation

About the Series Elements in Semantics emphasizes the field’s recent flourishing of interdisciplinary work, connecting linguistics and philosophy with cognitive science, computer science, neuroscience, law, anthropology, sociology, economics, and beyond. The series should be of interest to a broad community of researchers interested in the study of meaning from diverse perspectives.

This Element presents the major findings and theoretical advances in the area of control. The different types of control (complement, adjunct, obligatory, nonobligatory) are described and their profiles in several languages are illustrated. It is shown that while certain features of obligatory control (OC) are common – nullness of PRO, nonfinite complements – they are not universal, and hence should not enter its core definition. Comparing approaches to the choice of controller based on lexical meaning postulates with those based on embedding of speech acts, it is concluded that the latter provide deeper insights into the core properties of OC. The fundamental semantic distinction between clauses denoting a property and those denoting a proposition proves to be important: It affects both the possibility of partial control in complements and the possibility of nonobligatory control in adjuncts. These insights are integrated in the Two-Tiered Theory of Control, laid out in the final sections.

Lexicography and the Law

About the Series Mirroring the Cambridge Key Topics in Applied Linguistics, this Elements series focuses on the key topics, concepts and methods in Applied Linguistics today. It revisits core conceptual and methodological issues in different subareas of Applied Linguistics. It also explores new emerging themes and topics. All topics are examined in connection with real-world issues and the broader political, economic and ideological contexts.

SHAPIRO

Legal professionals in the United States increasingly have relied on dictionaries, both current and historical, in court cases. This practice is complicated because originalist jurists are often not well-versed in lexicographical principles that would provide a fuller view of historical reasoning. This Element first contextualizes several issues in early English dictionaries and eighteenth-century language that illustrate how using dictionaries from the founding era in questions of law can be problematic: The Element provides examples of words changing over time, explains methodology of devising and borrowing in definitions, details who the readers of such dictionaries were, and more. The Element then excerpts John Mikhail’s essential article written in response to CREW et al. v. Trump to show how lexicographical methods and linguistic textual evidence can be better used in legal cases and analysis by triangulating meaning and identifying a prototypical definition.

This Element focuses on interactions between international assignees (IAs) and host country nationals (HCNs) by synthesizing three decades of empirical research using a combination of bibliometric, thematic, and content analyses. It delineates three major research streams in the field: language and communication, cultural adjustment, and IA-HCN relationships. Utilizing innovative mixed-methods review and analytical techniques, we shed light on the effects of language, communication, and cultural issues on IAs’ and HCNs’ adjustment, performance, learning, and career development. This Element reveals mixed effects of IA–HCN interactions, calling for further research to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of IA–HCN interactions. It offers valuable insights into effective cultural adjustment strategies and guides the development of practices for managing international assignments and cultivating positive IA–HCN relationships.

This Element provides an overview of the origins and development of forensic linguistics in the UK. It starts with a brief overview of early forensic linguistic research in the UK context, how some of the earliest work came about and the circumstances that allowed the field to develop and grow. Following this, the Element details the UK-based developments in the forensic analysis of texts, most notably through forensic authorship analysis and profiling. Section 3 outlines the research on spoken linguistic practices in legal contexts, using the order in which one might encounter these parts of the legal system (the emergency services, the police, the courts) as a structure. Section 4 looks at recent developments in the linguistic analysis of criminal and abusive behaviours in online contexts. Finally, the Element summarises the current state of forensic linguistics in the UK, pointing to key debates and potential future directions.

About the Series Elements in Forensic Linguistics provides high-quality accessible writing, bringing cutting-edge forensic linguistics to students and researchers as well as to practitioners in law enforcement and law. Elements in the series range from descriptive linguistics work, documenting a full range of legal and forensic texts and contexts; empirical findings and methodological developments to enhance research, investigative advice, and evidence for courts; and explorations into the theoretical and ethical foundations of research and practice in forensic linguistics.

This Element defends a reading of Kant’s formulas of the moral law in Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. It disputes a long tradition concerning what the first formula (Universal Law/ Law of Nature) attempts to do. The Element also expounds the Formulas of Humanity, Autonomy and the Realm of Ends, arguing that it is only the Formula of Humanity from which Kant derives general duties, and that it is only the third formula (Autonomy/Realm of Ends) that represents a complete and definitive statement of the moral principle as Kant derives it in the Groundwork. The Element also disputes the claim that the various formulas are ‘equivalent’, arguing that this claim is either false or else nonsensical because it is grounded on a false premise about what Kant thinks a moral principle is for.

Translation plays a consequential role in how states govern, manage multilingual affairs, and project influence, yet this role is rarely examined through a comparative, state-centred framework. This Element introduces the State Translation Programme (STP) to analyse translation as state-organised action. Comparing China with Japan, Türkiye, the United States, South Korea, Canada, and Poland, it identifies three strategic modes: Architects build national capacity and identity, Influencers project soft power and shape external narratives, and Administrators manage internal coordination and multilingual governance. China stands out in comparative perspective in seeking to combine all three modes, a pattern this Element terms ‘sovereign maximalism’. Tracing these governance functions from imperial dynasties to the contemporary People’s Republic, the Element offers a framework for comparative analysis across translation studies and political science.

Cancer is increasingly recognized as a complex, multidimensional social experience rather than purely a physical or biological disease. This, in turn, highlights the role of communication in cancer-related ‘work’ such as seeking and receiving a diagnosis, managing disclosure, and incorporating treatment and recovery into everyday life. Although an extensive body of work examining cancer and communication has investigated some of this complexity, the experiences of migrant women in Asia are currently underexplored. In this Element, the author argues that the complexity of cancer diagnosis and disclosure for this group can be usefully examined from a perspective of intercultural communication. To support this argument, the author investigates instances of intercultural communication that unfolded in a series of focus groups with Filipino migrant domestic workers diagnosed with cancer in Hong Kong.

Elements in Health Communication

This Element critically explores the notion of climate education in the humanities, and how it should embrace the teaching, learning, and research of second and heritage languages (SL/HL), starting with basic language programs. Because language is inseparable from the spheres where climate narratives circulate. The interconnectedness between language (as discourse), sociolinguistics, culture, social justice, and the climate crisis entails an approach to Climate Humanities that requires a paradigmatic and epistemological turn. By addressing how SL/HL education works and whom it serves, together with the ethical dilemmas instructors face, the Element proposes a root-level curricular and program transformation for advancing an equitable language classroom with a focus on climate and sustainability. Comprehensive sections delve into three applied teaching principles: (1) critical analysis and decentralization of climate discourse, (2) contextualization of language teaching, and (3) transdisciplinarity. Examples for classroom implementation showcase praxis in action, and emerging questions and future directions are discussed.

This Element provides an overview of structural priming research across the three main populations on which experimental priming studies have concentrated: adult monolingual speakers, first language learners, and second language learners and bilinguals. Priming studies with monolingual adults were originally designed to inform psycholinguistic models of grammatical encoding in language production. Thanks to the implicit nature of the task, priming has turned out to be suitable for experimentally addressing questions about linguistic representation and use at the sentence level in speakers of any age. The view that priming is a form of implicit learning has sparked an interest in exploring continuity and life-long learning in language, opening up rich research areas in second-language acquisition and bilingualism. Priming rightly deserves to be a part of every language scientist’s tool kit.

Health Communication

The analysis of newly or recently emerged grammatical and lexical forms in Colloquial Singapore English (CSE) is the main objective of this Element. Using corpus, survey, and interview data from different age groups, we shed light on the spread of language change across generations and ethnicities. Existing descriptions of CSE as a high-contact L1 variety of English in the late stages of endonormative stabilisation do not fully capture Singapore’s continued multilingual ecology: source languages remain in active use alongside CSE, enabling ongoing crosslinguistic influence. Innovative uses resulting from contact can be observed in apparent and real time. In this volume, we use a range of sources to look at recent changes in the lexicon and grammar of CSE, pointing to a dynamic variety that is difficult to fully capture with existing models of variation.

Cultural Lenses and Shared Horizons (CLASH), a theory for intercultural health communication, addresses limitations of existing approaches by conceptualizing communication as a contextually situated and locally managed activity. By examining intercultural tensions in health contexts, the Element shows how meaning, ethics, and decision-making are constituted through communicative practices across legal, policy, community, and interpersonal levels. CLASH presents four frameworks – Magic Consciousness, Mythic Connection, Perspectival Thinking, and Integral Fusion – to explain and predict how different forms of cultural consciousness shape experiences of reality and the evaluation of communicative practices within and across specific communities. Emphasizing the dynamic and emergent nature of social interactions, CLASH provides an analytical framework to examine how participants recognize, negotiate, and reconcile divergent cultural frameworks. By conceptualizing culture as an ongoing process embedded in social contexts, CLASH offers a regenerative paradigm for analyzing intercultural health communication.

Critical language pedagogy (CLP) is the application of critical pedagogy (CP) ideas and principles to the teaching of additional languages. CLP is mainly associated with a theory of education in which the work of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire is to be taken as central. This Element aims to provide readers with a simple and direct introduction to this perspective on additional language teaching. It addresses main principles, regular practices, materials, and their availability and form and considers future development work needed.

About the Series Over the last centuries, the English language has spread all over the globe due to a multitude of factors including colonization and globalization. In investigating these phenomena, the vibrant linguistic sub-discipline of “World Englishes” has grown substantially, developing appropriate theoretical frameworks and considering applied issues. This Elements series will cover all the topics of the discipline in an accessible fashion and will be supplemented by online material.

SHAKIR ET AL.

English is an important part of the linguistic repertoire of Pakistanis and is used in government, top level judiciary, higher education, business, and the internet. This Element, covers brief history, attitudes, a feature description, and uses of English on the internet by Pakistanis. The study of attitudes shows that Pakistanis mostly look outwards for standards and norms. The analysis of various features at phonological, orthographic, lexical, and grammatical levels shows that Pakistani English has distinct features that can be categorised in three ways: contact-induced features (e.g. reduplication), the result of conservativism in the variety (e.g. which vs that relatives), and influenced by American and British English (e.g. spellings). English is also frequently used on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The study concludes that English in Pakistan is well-established and stabilised with evolutionary characteristics of ‘nativisation’ on Schneider’s Dynamic Model.

Intercultural Communication

This Element highlights the role of constraints in shaping multilingualism. It discusses their conceptualisation, starting from Michel de Certeau’s view of action in everyday life, and operationalisation for the study of migrants. The results of the research conducted among Gambian migrants in Italy show not only constraints but also the tactics to inhabit them, as well as non-language-related aspects, for example suffering, which are grouped into five clusters. These are (1) lack of support; (2) limited interaction in the ‘local’ language; (3) immigration status in conjunction with life events; (4) others’ behaviour; and (5) other concerns and suffering. The conclusion presents a discussion on the wider significance of what incorporating constraints means for our understanding of multilingualism and migration, including policy implications, and for intercultural communication research.

Artificial intelligence-mediated informal digital learning of English (AI-IDLE) is a rapidly emerging subfield of computerassisted language learning that focuses on autonomous, selfdirected second language (L2) English development through AI tools beyond the classroom. Extending the established research agenda on informal digital learning of English (IDLE), AI-IDLE responds to a changing context in which AI technologies and digital platforms with embedded AI functionalities are reshaping the ecology of informal language learning. This Element provides the first comprehensive synthesis of AI-IDLE research and practice, grounded in an integration of proactive language learning theory and cultural-historical activity theory. It examines key antecedents and outcomes of AI-IDLE and, through original case studies, illustrates how learners negotiate resources and navigate diverse sociotechnical environments to engage in AI-IDLE. The Element concludes by outlining pedagogical strategies for supporting AI-IDLE and identifying future research directions for advancing this nascent field.

The concept of communicative competence has been rendered as context-abstracted code-bound knowledge for language teaching and assessment. This Element offers a different perspective on ‘communication’ and ‘competence’. Section 1 offers the rationale for this re-orientation. Section 2 examines the conceptual and pedagogic affordances and delimitations of the prevailing approach to communicative competence; Section 3 describes a conceptual re-framing of language use as ecological languaging in terms of embodied, situation-sensitive action through which people coordinate with others, artefacts, and environments; Section 4 explores assessment approaches built on Bayesian principles for tracking learner development and progress by taking account of prior accomplishment, expert opinion, and emerging performance to create probabilistic trajectories; Section 5 focusses on professional developments related to conceptual refinement, curriculum design, teaching materials, and teacher education. Section 6 considers some key future challenges. This Element is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Language and linguistics

This Element presents a constructionist approach to clausal syntax in Swedish. Swedish syntax poses some challenges to language learners and linguists alike, particularly as regards word order. We handle these challenges in a network model of Swedish syntax, in which clausal and phrasal constructions at different levels of generality interact with argument structure constructions and other syntactic structures. Key to the analysis is a restrictive treatment of clausal hierarchy, a view of constructions as conventional usage patterns, and treating combination of constructions by conceptual blending. Thus, the model combines a formalized overall account of clausal syntax with a view of language as inherently usage-based. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Evangeline Lin

Series Editor Helen Sauntson York St John University

This Element addresses the challenges and opportunities that arise in the study of sound systems of understudied languages within the context of language documentation, an expanding field that seeks to develop records of the world’s languages and their patterns of use in their broader cultural and social context. The topics covered in this Element focus on different elements of language documentation and their relationship to phonological analysis, including lexicography, documentary corpora, music and the verbal arts, as well as grammar writing. For each of these areas, the authors examine methodological and theoretical implications for phonology. With growing concern in the field of language documentation and linguistics more generally for the distribution and implementation of the products of research and its impact on Indigenous language communities, this Element also discusses how phonological documentation may contribute to the development of resources for language communities.

Gendered Neologisms and Social Transformation

The Life-changing Impact of English at the Grassroots in Cambodia

Cover image: Andrzej Wojcicki / Science Photo Library

Language and Long Covid

This Element investigates the emergence and social significance of gendered neologisms – new lexical formations that encode gender within existing expressions, such as ‘mansplaining’, ‘girlboss’, or ‘manny’. Situated at the intersection of sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and morphology, the Element explores how such words arise in response to changing social realities and how they participate in contemporary debates about gender, identity, and power. Drawing on corpus-assisted analysis of journalistic and public discourse, the study examines both the structural formation and the evolving meanings of these neologisms. The findings reveal that gender markers such as ‘man-’ or ‘girl-’ rarely function as simple descriptors; instead, they carry metaphorical and evaluative meanings rooted in cultural expectations and gender stereotypes.

The Life-changing Impact of English at the Grassroots in Cambodia

LIN

This Element documents the life trajectories of Cambodian English users from rural, low socioeconomic backgrounds, and their experiences with the English language in a variety of contexts. Studies on English in Cambodia have, to date, focused primarily on elite users in urban contexts, largely overlooking the use of English at the grassroots level, such as among the lower and working classes, despite the fact that English has appeared to make inroads across all levels of Cambodian society in recent decades. The stories of individuals whose voices tend to be excluded from mainstream academic discourse are thus featured in this Element, providing a fresh glimpse into the sociolinguistic realities at the Cambodian grassroots – and the significant impact that English has had on the lives of such individuals.

Epistemology

An Anti-Sceptical Metaphysics and Epistemology of Perception

About the Series This Elements series seeks to cover all aspects of a rapidly evolving field, including emerging and evolving topics such as: fallibilism; knowing how; self-knowledge; knowledge of morality; knowledge and injustice; formal epistemology; knowledge and religion; scientific knowledge; collective epistemology; applied epistemology; virtue epistemology; wisdom. The series demonstrates the liveliness and diversity of the field, while also pointing to new areas of investigation.

LOGUE

This Element brings three topics into closer contact: scepticism about the external world, the metaphysics of perception, and the epistemology of perception. It argues that a certain kind of response to external world scepticism is significantly stronger if we make certain theoretical commitments regarding the metaphysics and epistemology of perception. Particularly, it argues that a neo-Moorean epistemological disjunctivist response to scepticism is much more compelling when underpinned by a naïve realist theory of perceptual phenomenal character and the transparency model of how we acquire knowledge of our perceptual states. The possibility that these theories are true radically alters the dialectical situation with respect to external world scepticism: the sceptical argument is on much shakier ground than is usually appreciated. Integrating our theorising about our knowledge of the external world and our theorising about the metaphysics and epistemology of perception affords a more comprehensive view of our anti-sceptical options.

Contemporary debates about faith and scepticism are best understood by tracing the development of our current assumptions back to their historical roots. Scepticism, particularly in the west, has its foundation in Socrates’ famous claim that his knowledge of his own ignorance made him the wisest of men. Socrates’ intellectual humility was then translated into the Christian philosophical tradition, where it came into contact with the doctrines of divine revelation and original sin. This Element will select key historical figures to illustrate the impact that belief in God has had on how we assess the claims of scepticism, and on how scepticism impacts belief in God.

The Indeterminacy of Computation

Political Constitutions

COPELAND AND SHAGRIR

This Element looks at the very beginning of the philosophy of mathematics in Western thought. It covers the first reflections on attempts to untie mathematics from its practical usage in administration, commerce, and land-surveying and discusses the first ideas to see mathematical structures as constituents underlying the physical world in the Pythagoreans. The first two sections focus on the epistemic status of mathematical knowledge in relation to philosophical knowledge and on the various ontological positions ancient Greek philosophers in early and classical times ascribe to mathematical objects – from independent and separate entities to mere abstractions and idealisations. Section 3 discusses the paradigmatic role mathematical deductions have played for philosophy, the role of mathematical diagrams, and mathematical methods of interest for philosophers. Section 4, finally, investigates a couple of individual concepts that are fundamental for both philosophy and mathematics, such as infinity.

Philosophy of Law

Political Constitutions

About the Series This series provides an accessible overview of the philosophy of law, drawing on its varied intellectual traditions in order to showcase the interdisciplinary dimensions of jurisprudential enquiry, review the state of the art in the field, and suggest fresh research agendas for the future. Focussing on issues rather than traditions or authors, each contribution seeks to deepen our understanding of the foundations of the law, ultimately with a view to offering practical insights into some of the major challenges of our age.

CROWE

This Element tackles the question of how – in what way, and in virtue of what – facts about the legal properties and relations of particulars (such as their rights, duties, powers, etc.) are metaphysically explained. This question is divided into two separate issues. First, the Element focuses on the nature of the explanatory relation connecting legal facts to their metaphysical determinants. Second, it looks into the kinds of entities that figure in the explanation of legal facts. In doing so, it pays special attention to the role that laws, or legal norms, play in such explanations. As it turns out, there are different ways in which legal facts might be explained, all of which have something to be said in their favor, and none of which is immune from problems.

How can we get a sense of different possibilities for being and doing, that allow for hope and change? How can things show themselves so that we heed them and feel a kind of grateful receptivity to them? To all of these questions, Heidegger’s answer is “art.” This Element aims to make sense of the incredible importance Heidegger affords art, on the one hand, and his pessimistic reflections on the possibilities for both art and life in late modernity, on the other. The author proposes that thinking of the artwork as a measure – opaque, basic, and with a regulative normative force – helps make sense of Heidegger’s thinking and the promise and peril of art.

Contemporary Natural Law Jurisprudence

NAPPO AND VALENTE

When faced with a difficult problem or limited information about a novel domain, how do scientists advance their research? As historians of science have widely noted, one strategy common to the natural and the social sciences is to make use of analogy. Formulating hypotheses about an unknown system construed by analogy with what is observed in a more familiar system has repeatedly proven to be a source of discoveries. But what makes analogy such a useful tool for scientific inquiry? Although early reflections trace back to Aristotle, the question of the exact role of analogy in science remains an outstanding one in contemporary philosophy of science. This Element aims to clarify the main epistemological questions at stake and why seemingly obvious answers to them do not survive scrutiny. We provide an overview of the current debate and summarize insights from relevant case studies in the natural and social sciences.

Philosophy of Law

Contemporary Natural Law Jurisprudence

Nietzsche’s Critique of Pity

CROWE

Natural law theory is a major contemporary school of philosophy of law. This Element provides a critical overview of recent lines of thought in this tradition. Section 1 considers the defining claims of natural law jurisprudence, including strong and weak natural law views. Sections 2–5 examine four contemporary lines of natural law argument: functional arguments, the argument from context, the argument from injustice and the central case method. Functional arguments remain the oldest and best route to the natural law thesis. The argument from context also has promise, whereas the argument from injustice and the central case method fail to yield robust natural law conclusions. Section 6 reflects on the future of natural law jurisprudence. It explores a possible reframing of natural law theories, away from the prevailing emphasis on legal validity or defectiveness, and towards an understanding of law as a natural phenomenon.

Dewey’s Experience and Nature

While reviewing central approaches in the philosophical literature on risk-attitudes, this Element argues for two related pluralistic theses, one conceptual and one normative. The conceptual thesis is that different types of attitudes, some of which are desires and some of which are not, count as riskattitudes. An agent’s attitude toward the risk involved in an uncertain prospect is characterized as the collection of mental states that affect the agent’s evaluation of the prospect’s possible outcomes, in the context of that specific prospect. The normative thesis is that the rationality conditions governing riskattitudes have a conditional form: they allow for a wide range of preferences, provided that the agent has reasons to adopt particular risk-attitudes. The axiom systems used in different decision-theoretic models are understood not as expressing universally applicable normative constraints, but rather as characterizations of types of situations in which the reasons to adopt certain risk-attitudes exhibit specific structures.

The Political Wittgenstein

About the Series This series provides concise and structured introductions to all the central topics in the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. The Elements are written by distinguished senior scholars and bright junior scholars with relevant expertise, producing balanced and comprehensive coverage of the full range of Wittgenstein’s thought.

CRARY AND LARA

Since Wittgenstein’s death in 1951, readers have advanced numerous claims about his philosophy’s political significance. Some take his philosophy to have a conservative or reactionary bent; others take it to have a relativistic leaning; yet others associate it with classical liberalism, neo-liberalism, or Marxism. The Political Wittgenstein surveys this terrain in four chapterlength narratives about the development of distinct views of the political significance of Wittgenstein’s thought. This Element offers a thorough introduction to the question of a Wittgensteinian approach to political thought. It simultaneously makes a case for reading Wittgenstein’s philosophy as, at base, political, liberating and pressingly pertinent.

Can practical factors affect our epistemic standings or their ascriptions? This Element critically examines shifty epistemology, a cluster of views that answer yes to this question. It investigates three prominent types of shifty epistemology: on knowledge, justification and rational credence. It assesses key arguments for each of these views and argues for pragmatic encroachment on rational credence.

Kierkegaard’s View of Love

Scrupulosity is sometimes regarded as a form of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) which focuses especially on religious obsessions and compulsions, or more generally as an excessive form of religious or spiritual perfectionism. This Element draws on the experiences of the author and those of people within different religious traditions. This study will expand our understanding of the phenomenology of scrupulosity, including ways in which it is experienced differently by people within different religious traditions. Next, it will consider why there is scrupulosity, exploring psychological and theological perspectives. Finally, it will then turn to the question of whether scrupulosity can be spiritually innocent; that is, that, in spite of scrupulosity being (as argued) a spiritual disability, a person might gain spiritual benefits as a result of having scrupulosity that they would probably not otherwise gain. Finally, it considers the implications of the argument for clinical and pastoral contexts, and for the philosophy of religion.

Kierkegaard’s Concept of Anxiety

Series Editor Rick Anthony Furtak Colorado College

With reference to Kierkegaard’s religious writings and other pseudonymous works, Kierkegaard’s concept of anxiety is explored with a primary focus on the book The Concept of Anxiety. Anxiety itself is shown to be the eminent term for a moment in the human being’s psychological development that Kierkegaard also discusses in other terms. In particular, it is the mode in which human being’s apprehension of their possible freedom first appears in consciousness and, as such, is not to be confused with pathological anxiety, melancholy, or other negative states. At the same time, Kierkegaard regards human beings as typically failing to realize the possibility of freedom and when this happens anxiety becomes the trigger for despair or sin. The Element concludes by considering the influence of Kierkegaard on discussions of anxiety in Heidegger, Sartre, and Tillich and the relevance of his analysis to the contemporary crisis of social anxiety.

Philosophy of Mind

The themes of love and loving are often, albeit not always explicitly, present in Kierkegaard’s works. It is only his 1847 Works of Love, however, in which the topic serves as a central focus of inquiry. And while at first glance, this text may seem alien to Kierkegaard’s poetic existentialism, revolving as it does around the commandment ‘You Shall Love Your Neighbour as Yourself’ rather than the drama of human existence and the mysteries of the human heart, the thesis that emerges is entirely existential: the capacity for loving is inherent to our very existence as humans. Focussing on Works of Love supported by a few short detours through other texts of Kierkegaard, this Element explores Kierkegaard’s view of love as ultimately construing loving as a way of life.

Metaphysics

The Methodology of Metaphysics

The methodology of metaphysics has come under severe scrutiny from critics who claim that, while metaphysics aims to uncover deep non-conceptual truths regarding reality, its standard methodology is incapable of giving us justified beliefs regarding which metaphysical theses are true. In this Element I investigate whether this criticism of metaphysics is on the right track, by way of an opinionated introduction to the methodology of metaphysics. I give an overview of recent debates concerning the methodology of metaphysics, with special attention paid to the epistemic credentials of appeals to intuitions and non-empirical theoretical virtues. I also examine alternative proposed aims of metaphysics other than that of uncovering deep non-conceptual truths, and with what sorts of methodologies those aims might be associated. These alternative proposed aims of metaphysics include achieving practical benefits, achieving understanding, discovering stable equilibria among possible metaphysical views, and analyzing and/or engineering our concepts.

Our most advanced AI systems might soon – within the next five to thirty years – be as richly and meaningfully conscious as ordinary humans, or even more so, capable of genuine feeling, real self-knowledge, and a wide range of sensory, emotional, and cognitive experiences. In some arguably important respects, AI architectures are beginning to resemble the architectures many consciousness scientists associate with conscious systems. Their outward behavior, especially their linguistic behavior, grows ever more humanlike. Alternatively, claims of imminent AI consciousness might be profoundly mistaken. Their seeming humanlikeness might be a shadow play of empty mimicry. Genuine conscious experience might require something no AI system could possess for the foreseeable future – intricate biological processes, for example, that silicon chips could never replicate. The thesis of this Element is that we don’t know. Science lags, while engineering sprints ahead.

Emerging Questions in AI Welfare

Geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence

This Element investigates whether artificial intelligence (AI) systems could ever be welfare subjects. Some people argue that AIs could plausibly have or soon have features such as consciousness, agency and the capacity for social relationships, which could provide a basis for AI welfare. These arguments have massive significance for the societal conversation on AI, raising profound ethical and political questions about what if anything we owe to these new technologies. The authors here provide the philosophical groundwork for a scientific, philosophical and ultimately democratic inquiry into the potential for AI welfare, addressing key questions that cut across different arguments: what welfare is, how to interpret behavioural evidence of AI welfare, what kinds of entities might qualify as candidate AI welfare subjects, the potential grounds for welfare in AI and the practical ethical challenges that arise from our uncertainty. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Heidegger and the History of Being

Heidegger on Sociality

COHEN

What does it mean to be in the world with others? To what degree is sociality a dimension of our experience? This Element explores the social aspects of our experience as shared and common, focusing on Heidegger’s thought on this theme in the period surrounding the publication of Being and Time. It begins by situating Heidegger’s position in contrast to alternative phenomenological conceptions of the relations between self and others. From there, it continues to address a key challenge to Heidegger’s approach: the problem of Dasein’s individuation. Finally, in response to this challenge, the work reframes Heidegger’s conception of sociality through the prism of partwhole relations. As social, Dasein emerges as a dependent part of an unfolding shared whole, yet as part of a complex social context, it retains its relative wholeness.

In each section, I shall offer a range of different interpretations of how one can read Kant’s texts, and I shall address their advantages and disadvantages. This gives readers the option to choose for themselves which reading is the most plausible interpretation of human dignity.

In this Element, I shall address four topics in Kant’s moral philosophy: What specifically does one have to do (or refrain from doing) to respect a human being? What is the reason why one should respect human beings? What is dignity, that is, what does the term mean, and what kind of thing is it? Finally, in a short appendix, I shall address the questions: Do only human beings deserve respect; how could one extend it to nonhuman animals as well?

The witch’s body became monstrous through association with demonic creatures and physical transformation, while visible physical difference offered sought-after physical evidence of witchcraft. Intersecting with social status, reputation, and gender, disability then explains why some individuals were accused of witchcraft. Disability could also hamper a suspects’ ability to defend themselves during interrogation and trial. Their victims, the bewitched, however, used witchcraft accusations to navigate discriminatory narratives and treatment of disabling conditions and to find ways to cure or mitigate them.

What price should you be willing to pay for a tiny probability of an astronomically large gain, or to avoid a tiny probability of an astronomically large loss? Should you be willing to pay any finite price, if the potential gains or losses are large enough? Fanaticism says you should, while anti-fanaticism says you should not. Focusing on morally motivated decision-making, this Element explores arguments for and against both positions, ultimately defending the intermediate view that rationality permits a range of dispositions toward extreme risks, while ruling out the most comprehensive forms of both fanaticism and anti-fanaticism. The final section considers practical implications, arguing that under real-world circumstances, any view satisfying a minimal principle of rationality must very often rank options by expected value, and thus sometimes give great weight to intuitively small probabilities, but that we nonetheless retain rational flexibility in sufficiently extreme cases.

Ancient apologetics is usually treated as a literary genre or a branch of early theology. This Element offers a different account. It argues that many Jewish and Christian texts conventionally labeled “apologetic” are better understood through a bibliographic and archival lens: They produce authority not only by defending doctrines, but by organizing books, constructing corpora, mobilizing archives, and regulating interpretation. Tracing a trajectory from the Letter of Aristeas to Jerome’s De viris illustribus, this Element shows how citation, collection, cataloguing, and textual ordering made traditions appear authoritative. Examining Aristeas, Josephus, Tatian, Justin, Origen, Pamphilus, Eusebius, and Jerome, it argues that apologetics is best understood as a form of curatorial power through which ancient communities learned to think with books.

INOWLOCKI

This Element reevaluates the genesis and early development of Georgian literature. Sparked by the Christian invention of a Georgian script ca. 400 AD, Georgian literature was a product of the Christianization of Caucasia. But to what extent was early Georgian literature a Christian one? What were the ecclesiastical, cultural, and linguistic contexts of Georgian literature? And how did Georgia’s, and Caucasia’s, existing ties to the Iranic cultural world affect the evolution of a distinctly Georgian literature? All the while, this Element will engage not only the Christianization of Georgia’s Iranic peoples but also the Georgianization of Christianity.

Food, drink, and feasting represent both the stuff of everyday life and potent symbols for worship, identity, and power since time immemorial and throughout the globe. However, the ways they exercise influence take shape in accordance with the realities and imaginations of distinct cultural settings. This volume provides an overview of the ways that these elements and motifs appear in the texts of Hebrew Bible in relation to its larger cultural and historical context. After considering food as a broader anthropological object of study, it discusses the features of regular provision in ancient Israel. Specific investigations include feasts, prohibitions, fasting, along with connections with sexuality, worship, and identity in relation to the foodways of the broader region.

The purpose of this Element is twofold. First, it offers an up-to-date introduction to Paleo-Hebrew inscriptions. Second, it argues that the wealth of information they yield about ancient Israel and Judah is underappreciated and needs to be reevaluated. To these ends, it first briefly retraces the slow rediscovery of the Paleo-Hebrew script by modern scholars from the Renaissance onward and shows that it remained poorly identified by many until the second third of the twentieth century. Even today, most historians focus on a few iconic inscriptions or sets of inscriptions in specific periods. This Element then retraces the biography of the script in its entirety and highlights the surprising variety of its uses over more than a millennium. Finally, it shows, by a selection of relevant documents, how Paleo-Hebrew inscriptions shed light on daily life, historical events, religious beliefs and practices, and literacy in ancient Israel and Judah.

Monotheism and the Trinity

YANG

The doctrine of the Trinity is a central dogma within traditional Christianity, yet claiming that there are three divine persons appears to threaten adherence to monotheism. This Element begins by presenting a logical problem for the doctrine of the Trinity, followed by a survey of extant solutions to it as well as some criticisms to these solutions. Based on some insights concerning the historical context surrounding the development and formulation of the doctrine of the Trinity, this Element proposes a solution whereby the doctrinal claims have minimal content such that a contradiction cannot be derived from them. Rather than dismissing other solutions, this Element adopts a particular framework for understanding theological models, proposing that the models used in these solutions be repurposed in such a way that multiple models help us better grasp and appreciate the target (viz., God or the doctrine of the Trinity).

The Element begins by surveying the image of spirit within Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It explores the duality between the experience of spirit ‘from beyond’ and spirit ‘within’, and finds a consistency in the idea of spirit as the presence and activity of God in the world. Attention is given to the image of spirit as an ‘overflow’ in Islam and late Judaism. Moving into discussion of a dialectic between ‘spirit’ and ‘letter’, or spirit and written text, gives a context for investigating the place of spirit in the New Testament, modern romanticism and idealism, and finally in the late-modern protest against structures of spirit. Finally, the development of spirit into the ‘Holy Spirit’ of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity is considered, arguing that an experience of spirit as an inexhaustible relation and flow of love will oppose forces of domination in human life.

It begins with a brief survey of the history of the debate over the plurality of the worlds as it unfolded in Christendom, followed by a concise, albeit non-technical, summary of the recent advances in the search for extrasolar planets and for life in the cosmos. The focus then shifts to the Qur’ān and hadīth as foundational sources for developing an Islamic perspective on the question of extraterrestrial life. Finally, several Islamic concepts that might require re-evaluation in light of the discovery of extraterrestrial life are presented, underscoring the urgent need for the development of an Islamic astrotheology.

This Element analyzes the development of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s conception of religion through key textual evidence: fragments, lectures, and published works. The structure is largely chronological to allow readers to observe the evolution of Hegel’s understanding from his early theological preoccupations to the systematic formulations of his mature period. One organizational exception—treating the 1830 Encyclopaedia (Section 5) before the Berlin lectures of the preceding decade (Section 6) – serves the clarifying purpose of better situating the lectures within the conceptual framework that guided them. Substantively, this Element challenges the common label “philosophy of religion.” For Hegel, religion was not a discrete academic subfield to which philosophical conclusions were subsequently applied. Rather, alongside art and philosophy, it occupies the apex of his system, functioning as a mode of cognition in its own right and providing resources for understanding how human thought conceptualizes the relation between the finite and the absolute.

MESSER

STOKES

This Element argues for a novel approach to the sciences within Thomism, namely, science-engaged Thomism, which, aligned with the recent science-engaged theology movement, asks theological and metaphysical questions that require the input of the natural sciences. Recent developments within Thomism show a new approach to the natural sciences, and, thus, the proposal is to encourage more of this discourse by portraying the differences between contemporary and past Thomism. Still, even if it takes a novel approach, science-engaged Thomism relies on a tradition of thought that possesses a vast arsenal of metaphysical tools. Thus, after presenting this approach and a concise introduction to some basic notions of Thomistic metaphysics, the Element reviews some theological and philosophical questions and their relation to the natural sciences: issues about creation, cosmology, and astrobiology, divine involvement in evolutionary biology, providence and indeterministic quantum processes, and some ideas for further development at the end.

Imagining the Witches’ Sabbath

es Editor am Pooley versity of Bristol

This Element examines the forms of Arabic used by Christians during the early Islamic period in theological treatises and Bible translations. Linguistic analysis of these texts not only clarifies the nature of early Islamic Arabic but also illuminates Christian institutional and intellectual culture. The study challenges common views that Christian authors wrote either flawed Classical Arabic or in substandard registers. Instead, it demonstrates their Arabic was typical of the early Islamic period. The Element identifies linguistic differences between theological treatises and biblical translations, connecting these to pre-Islamic monastic practices where Greek served theological discourse while Christian Palestinian Aramaic – a local spoken variety written in adapted Syriac script – was used to write texts for lay purposes. After the Muslim conquests, Arabic became the appropriate language for both genres. Christians adapted Arabic, writing deftly and creatively to their literary activities, employing language suited to different audiences and demonstrating sophisticated engagement with emerging Arabic literary registers and traditions.

Christian Doctrine

Prayer

Western academic analyses of the notion of answered prayer fail repeatedly to be attentive to claims that, within a specifically Christian theology, should be normative. The author proposes a theological construction, centred on the thesis that human beings are created to pray. Given this, the prayers of Jesus are paradigmatic for understanding human prayer. The author examines the ministry of Jesus under the rubric of the munus triplex, the threefold office, and on this basis, an exegetical account of the relationship of prayer and sacrifice is proposed, in which the transforming redemptive power of the sacrifice of Jesus makes possible the answering of prayer, even misdirected prayer. On this basis, a new account of how we should understand prayer being answered is offered, and this is developed into some modest reflections on the proper practice of prayer within Christian communities, paying specific attention to early English Baptist debates.

About the Series Elements in Christian Doctrine brings creative and constructive thinking in the field of Christian doctrine to a global audience within and beyond the academy. The series demonstrates the vitality of Christian doctrine and its capacity to engage with contemporary questions.

Monotheism and Prayer

God and the Problem of Scepticism

DALES

Series Editor Michael L. Peterson Asbury Theological Seminary

This is a study of how Christian trinitarian understanding of monotheism has been expressed in Christian prayer and worship. It studies the emergence and development of a distinctive language of prayer within the New Testament and among some early Church Fathers, which laid the basis for later belief in and worship of the Trinity. This contemplative belief is studied in the light of Eastern and Western understandings of the Trinity, by examining certain key figures Christian history. It concludes with a discussion of the continuing mystical and contemplative traditions within Eastern and Western Christianity. This Element does not consider the development of Christian liturgy, however, which has already been considered in an earlier Element in this series. Nor does it address the varied impact of the Reformation upon the Western churches, which will be addressed by further Elements to be published in this series.

Business Strategy

Humanistic Management and Leadership

About the Series Business strategy’s reach is vast, and important too since wherever there is business activity there is strategizing. As a field, strategy has a long history from medieval and colonial times to today’s developed and developing economies. This series offers a place for interesting and illuminating research including industry and corporate studies, strategizing in service industries, the arts, the public sector, and the new forms of Internet-based commerce. It also covers today’s expanding gamut of analytic techniques.

PIRSON

This Element introduces the foundational concepts and practical applications of humanistic management and leadership. Centering on the dual imperative to protect human dignity and promote well-being, it offers a scientifically grounded alternative to economistic models of organizing. The book develops an integrative framework spanning six levels of analysis – individual, relational, team, organizational, societal, and ecological – showing how each level can be designed to meet a dignity threshold while enabling thriving for people and planet. Drawing on contemporary research across management, psychology, the humanities, and the natural sciences, it clarifies core principles, managerial practices, and measurable implications for governance, strategy, culture, and learning. Rich real-world cases illustrate how humanistic enterprises and institutions operationalize these principles to create enduring, regenerative value for employees, customers, communities, investors, and the natural environment. The Element concludes with guidance for educators and practitioners seeking to embed humanistic leadership in everyday decision-making across sectors in practice.

Leadership is a dynamic process of learning, relearning, and applying that knowledge to better serve the community, workforce, and individuals with whom human services and child welfare organizations practice. The current political, fiscal, and social justice landscape requires leaders to transform bureaucratic organizations into learning environments. A people-first pioneering neuroscience-informed immersive leadership capacity-building model, implemented through executive capacity-building coaches, is proving to make a significant difference in how leaders and teams show up in their workplace. The model is utilized for both practice and leadership capacity-building in organizations. The model has implications for communities, organizations, leaders, teams, child welfare, human services, and social work practice.

It is widely agreed by proponents of shareholder and stakeholder capitalism that firms are needed to create longterm value. While they debate whose interests this value creation should serve and how it should be measured, they rarely question the concept of value itself or whether firms should have this social role. This consensus is striking since the meaning of value is often unexplored and inadequately defined. This Element addresses that gap and challenges this consensus. It explores the nature and meaning of value, examines how value creation became the social role of firms, and asks whether firms should have this social role. It shows that the role of firms is not to create economic value for shareholders or stakeholders but to provide goods and services in ways that are consistent with social values. The analysis also offers a new, relational theory of the firm to help enable this paradigm shift.

Administration and Human Rights

Federalism, Trumpism, and Democracy in America

Cover image: Shutterstock / Digital_Art

Mindful Consumption and Marketing

Human rights obligations are increasingly embedded in administrative practice, yet scholarship lacks a cohesive framework to guide a rights-based approach to public administration. This Element establishes a strategic foundation for Administration and Human Rights (AHR) at the intersection of administration, law, and human rights. The AHR framework is applied to three critical implementation priorities identified in recent scholarship: deliberate engagement between administration and law, binding norms obligating governments to deliver basic services, and rights-based participation to support democratic governance. Public administration is vital to realizing human rights, translating law and policy into practice. However, administrators who lack understanding of rights may fail to meet government obligations or unknowingly violate the very rights they are charged with implementing. AHR addresses this gap, offering analytical tools linking administrative practice with a rapidly evolving scholarly research agenda.

KETTL

Every president in the last century has launched his own strategy of federalism, and with every launch, presidents have tried to characterize their own approach as newer and better. Most of these approaches have swung like a pendulum along a continuum from centralization to decentralization. Donald Trump’s version of federalism, however, has proven to be radically different, not only in its politics and administration but also in its disconnection from the themes that have long characterized the debate about American democracy, shaped by French intellectual Alexis de Tocqueville in the middle of the nineteenth century. Trump has relied on both finance and force as tools to redefine power in the intergovernmental system. That, in turn, poses enormous challenges not only for the execution of domestic policy but also for the conduct of democracy in America.

This ethnographically rich book offers at once an insightful analysis of the crucial role of an elite of rich farmers from among Jat Sikhs in the social and economic crisis of Punjab and a shrewd critical commentary on key ideas in the political sociology of India. It is illuminating on the functioning of democratic decentralization and on the ways in which elections may be manipulated, all in the interests of the elite, and at the expense of others and of the economy of the state. A tour de force. John Harriss, Simon Fraser University Grounded in rich ethnographic work, the book offers a fresh perspective on the emerging structure

of rural power. While the Green Revolution technology transformed nearly everything in the Migration, Modern Slavery agrarian landscape of Punjab and enabled the erstwhile landed elite to move to the city and urban and Bureaucracy in India economy, it did not radically democratize the rural power structure. Nicolas Martin thus goes on

Pankhuri Agarwal

Nicolas Martin’s book is an excellent work at the crossroads of agrarian relations, caste, inequality, and politics in Punjab, India. Both historical and contemporary in its approach, the book’s chapters tell us how caste is linked to land distribution and rural power structures, and how those at the top of the rural power hierarchy control local political institutions like panchayats and shape public policies in their favour. Martin’s argument is that the nexus of agrarian dominance, caste hierarchy, and unequal governance sustains systemic inequality and limits broader and equitable development in Punjab. He also leaves us with some hope of a rupture in this stalemate via rural protest movements. The book is a must-read for everyone interested in developmental issues in India from an interdisciplinary perspective. Ram Ramakumar, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai

Fictions of Freedom is a compelling and highly original study of migration, modern slavery and bureaucratic governance in India. Agarwal offers a powerful critique of humanitarian governance arrangements and celebratory accounts of worker rescue and ‘freedom’. This terrific book is essential reading for scholars of postcolonial statecraft and labour precarity, and practitioners confronting humanitarian governance in practice.

This gripping and meticulous ethnography of rural Punjab takes readers from rigged elections to corrupt land deals, from drug busts to acts of political violence, from Dalit struggles to the frustrations of downwardly mobile middle caste families, revealing how dominant castes today deploy democratic institutions, new links with urban capital, and lucrative criminal enterprises to decisively subordinate Dalits and smallholders. Debunking both culturalist explanations for India’s “democratic deficits” and claims that rural caste domination is on the wane, Nicolas Martin’s masterly analysis forces a profound reappraisal of Indian democracy.

At a more general level, the study provides rich empirical evidence with a valuable comparative perspective on how inequalities of caste, class, and spatial formations are sustained even while India’s economy and polity undergo processes of structural transformation.

Fictions of Freedom

Martin

Fictions of Freedom exposes the myths of anti-trafficking discourse while provoking us to consider what workers truly seek: decent wages, dignity, and secure livelihoods. By painstakingly showing how rescue is not a solution to be critiqued, but a site of power, Agarwal cautions against the seductive pull of rescue narratives. A very welcome contribution to the scholarship on trafficking in India. Prabha Kotiswaran, King’s College London

When Formalization Fails

Agarwal

Have you ever wondered what happens after people are rescued from brothels or forced labour? Agarwal’s rich and immersive ethnography reveals how global anti-slavery interventions play out in the lives of those rescued, shaped by poverty, caste, gender, migration, and informal work. A powerful and essential contribution to debates on work and exploitation. Hari Bapuji, The University of Melbourne

This Element argues how the 2008 financial crisis fueled populism in Europe by expanding economic insecurity to the middle class.

Who cares for the ageing bodies of those who have long laboured for the wellbeing of others? This Element focusses on ageing migrant domestic workers who have spent decades abroad in Singapore and Hong Kong on precarious temporary contracts, and how they imagine and prepare for their ageing futures. As temporary migration regimes deny domestic workers long-term residence, citizenship, and family reunification rights, domestic workers are required to return to their countries of origin when they reach retirement age. These two impending dislocations – retirement and return migration – generate a range of financial and emotional insecurities among migrant women who have to confront questions around care, home, and livelihoods at this critical juncture in their lives. This juncture further generates new aspirations among domestic workers who seek to make their mid-to-later life years meaningful. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

The Element presents a Minskyan conceptualization to analyse the International Monetary and Financial Subordination (IMFS) of developing and emerging economies (DECs), with a focus on its transformations in the 21st century. We examine changes in external assets and liabilities of DECs, trace their implications in paradigmatic case studies, and derive consequences for macrofinancial policy. As a novel contribution, we identify structural transformations in the external asset position of DECs that open new vulnerabilities, challenges, and possibilities in the context of IMFS. We critically assess the mainstream policy consensus in relation to IMFS and highlight its limitations. Against this, we set out general principles for an alternative approach to policy-making grounded in the contemporary challenges facing DECs.

Sociology of Gender in India

This breakthrough collection considers afresh the enduring question of tribal development in India. Its contributors move beyond monolithic representations, dull dichotomies – of mainstream versus margins, integration versus isolation, advanced versus backward – and stale statistics. In its stead, we are offered richly rooted, deeply diverse, and carefully crafted accounts of issues pertaining to development – bringing forth an illuminating diversity of visions, voices, vices, older inequalities, and newer exploitations. Together, the chapters critically apprehend the place and position of tribes within India’s neoliberal growth story. Jelle J. P. Wouters, Royal Thimphu College

The Refugee Trap

This is a timely stocktaking of ‘development’ from the perspective of the Scheduled Tribes of India. Spanning a range of regions and themes, it complicates our understanding of what development means, especially when the communities being studied are not homogenous but stratified and differentially engaged with the state and capital. A very welcome addition to the literature on development and the Scheduled Tribes. Nandini Sundar, University of Delhi

Refugee movements are one of the defining issues of the twentyfirst century. But what difference does it actually make to be a refugee? To what extent are refugees economically distinctive compared to citizens or other groups of migrants? Drawing upon original data collected in camps and cities across East Africa, The Refugee Trap shows that becoming a refugee changes the economic constraints people face in important ways; they confront a series of poverty traps that make them systematically worse off compared to citizens. These relate to trauma, dispossession, uprootedness, and rights. By understanding the mechanisms underlying these traps, we can in turn identify the policy interventions needed to support restoration, and thereby address the sources of economic disadvantage that result from forced displacement.

How has India’s development story fared its tribal populations? Despite their persistent dispossession and marginalization, the story, if dismal, is far from straightforward. To understand how some tribal groups have fared better than others, the ideological and developmental agendas that drove these differences, and to gain an overview of some of the key developmental challenges for India’s tribal populations, this is an important and timely contribution and reminder.

In this subtle account of the making of a mercantile community in modern India, Ujithra Ponniah links the baniya household and factory, the living quarters and the shop brilliantly – to indicate how caste capital, in the literal as well as affective sense of the term, is secured through modes of sexual governance. The intimate sphere, Ponniah suggests, structures the worlds of production and politics, with marriage and kin ties cementing property and caste relationships. Richly ethnographic and replete with startling conceptual coinages—‘pragmatic love’, ‘the somatic stress of patriarchy’—this book extends and deepens our understanding of social reproduction, especially of women’s emotional and care labour, which helps to sustain caste identities and boundaries. V. Geetha, feminist historian and writer Becoming Agarwal is a fascinating book resulting from an in-depth ethnographic research of the Delhi-based members of the caste. The historical role of caste associations in the codification of a collective ethos is well taken and the interplay between caste and class as well as its implications in terms of geographical distribution scrutinised. Ujithra Ponniah also accounts for the part played by family rules regarding not only the endogamic practices, but also the transmission of values from one generation to another by the materfamilias. This set of values, and the cultivation of an upper caste life-style (including religion-based forms of philanthropy) in particular, is well in tune with the current Hindu nationalist repertoire: as the author shows, if the making of this caste group started two hundred years ago, the process may be reaching its culmination point today.

BECOMING AGARWAL The Manufacture of a Close-Knit Mercantile Caste

B EC O M I NG AGA RWA L

Despite their economic and political salience, there is surprisingly little research on the prominent as well as dominant urban caste of Agarwals. Becoming Agarwal fills this important gap in Indian sociological and anthropological literature by providing an original and nuanced understanding of this significant section of Indian society. Based on detailed fieldwork among Agarwals in Delhi, the book places women and gendered practices at the centre of its understanding of how this urban caste is socially reproduced. By linking the intimate domestic life with the broader processes of caste and class formation in contemporary India, the book provides a layered account of the gendered and generational mechanisms through which caste privilege is lived and reproduced in this influential north Indian mercantile community. Becoming Agarwal will be of great interest to scholars of anthropology, sociology, gender studies and South Asian studies. Anuja Agrawal, Delhi School of Economics

Sexually Liminal Lives follows the intimate, domestic and working lives of the Chiyawali kotis, and of the wives (niharins), lovers (giriyas) and kin who sustain them. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, this book reconceptualises the concept of the closet in South Asia, and develops an account of sexual liminality, treating liminality not as a failure to arrive at a stable identity but as a calculated way of living that sustains their kinship networks, welfare access and intimacies. It engages with queer theory, the anthropology of kinship and postcolonial and South Asian studies simultaneously, reframing debates and discourse on queer sexual citizenship in the Global South.

Criminology

Evolution of Violent Crime Reduction Strategies

About the Series Elements in Criminology seeks to identify key contributions in theory and empirical research that help to identify, enable, and stake out advances in contemporary criminology. The series focuses on radical new ways of understanding and framing criminology, whether of place, communities, persons, or situations. The relevance of criminology for preventing and controlling crime is also a key focus of this series.

MCGARRELL

Violent crime has long been a national concern for policymakers, criminal justice officials, and the American public. Violent crime increased during the 1960s through the early 1990s, and the United States particularly suffered from high levels of gun-related violent crime. The country experienced a welcome decline in violent crime for approximately three decades. Although the trends in violent crime, homicides, gun homicides, and nonfatal firearms incidents, are encouraging, violent crime remains a significant public policy challenge, and overall trends can mask some of the devastating consequences of violent crime, homicide, and gun violence. Indeed, one of the themes of this Element is that we need to learn lessons from this post-1990s period so that we can continue to reduce levels of homicide, firearms violence, and violent crime, particularly in those cities, neighborhoods, and street blocks, as well as demographic groups that continue to experience high levels of violent crime.

Hunting and Eating Symbols

This Element approaches large game hunting through a social and symbolic lens. In most societies, the hunting and consumption of certain iconic species carries deep symbolism and is surrounded by ritualized practices. However, the form of these rituals and symbols varies substantially. This Element explores some recurring themes associated with hunting and eating game, such as gender, prestige, and generosity, and traces how these play out in the context of egalitarian versus hierarchical societies, foragers versus farmers, and in different parts of the world. Once people start herding domestic livestock, hunting takes on a new significance as an engagement with what is now defined as the Wild. Foragers do not make this distinction, but their interactions with prey animals are also heavily symbolic. As societies become more stratified, hunting large animals may be partly or entirely reserved for the elite, and hunting practices are elaborated to display and build power.

Written against the backdrop of ten years of visits and studies in 220 Gothic cathedrals, Gothic iconic local churches, and neoGothic cathedrals, this Element examines the idea of historical religious structures as “hybrid media spaces” using grounded theory and communication and media approaches to capture the processes of communicating and erasing Christian processes of excommunicating in contemporary secular society. They show that at the current pace of societal conditions, cathedrals and iconic churches labeled as Gothic style are becoming the new platform for religious hybrid media practices and connections between religious and nonreligious approaches.

Archaeologists increasingly rely on philosophical principles, as evidenced in the Ontological Turn, yet often only engage Western philosophers, which is unfortunate as Indigenous scholars, particularly Native American authors, have provided alternatives applicable to archaeological research. Within this Element, readers are introduced to Native American scholars whose work is applied to major topics in archaeology, including landscapes and knowledge, kinship and extended personhood, and cosmology and ceremonial practices. By contrasting with traditional, Western-based interpretive approaches, this Element demonstrates the transformative potential of relying on Native American philosophers not only in terms of better understanding the archaeological record but also in how archaeologists and practitioners approach issues such as repatriation, archaeological collections care and handling, and sovereignty. In all, this Element presents a powerful new approach to archaeological research that provides readers with an introduction to Native American philosophers, relevant case studies, and real-world examples that they can use in their own works.

Heritage and the Politics of Invasive Alien Species

Elements in Current Archaeological Tools and Techniques

This Element adopts a psychosocial historical approach to explore the psychological functioning of Cleopatra VII, the last ruler of the Ptolemaic royal house. It investigates key themes that emerge from the data, including childhood trauma and displacement, sibling homicide, her relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, her divinity, and her suicide. To examine these issues, the author uses a cultural psychological framework, supplemented with social, investigative, and lifespan developmental psychological models, to analyze each theme in depth. The Element also includes a critical examination of how Cleopatra’s psychological functioning is presented in Roman sources, alongside a comparison with her self-presentation in both Egypt and Rome. When Cleopatra’s actions are viewed within an appropriate cultural context, characteristics that are now associated with psychiatric disorders can be repositioned as appropriate cultural and executive responses.

This Element illustrates how archaeologists study Resources, Technology, Artisans, Workplaces, Social Context, and Power.

This Element, authored by a team of specialist researchers, provides an overview of the various analytical techniques employed in the laboratory for the examination of archaeological ceramic materials. Pottery represents one of the earliest technical materials used by humans and is arguably the most frequently encountered object in archaeological sites. The original plastic raw material, which is solidified by firing, exhibits a wide range of variations in terms of production methods, material, form, decoration, and function. This frequently presents significant challenges for archaeologists. In modern laboratories, a variety of archaeometric measurement methods are available for addressing a wide range of archaeological questions. Examples of these include determining the composition of archaeological materials, elucidating the processes involved in manufacturing and decoration, estimating the age of archaeological material, and much more. The six sections present available methods for analysing pottery, along with an exploration of their potential application.

Leo Tolstoy had a deep and long-lasting interest in Plato. This study looks at the way some particularly well-known Platonic themes can be found in War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The themes in question include the journey between the mundane and the eternal (most famously represented in the allegory of the cave), the theory of recollection, and the need to purify the soul of bodily passions. The study begins with an account of Tolstoy’s interest in Plato and an overview of the three central themes as they appear in the Phaedo, Republic, Symposium, and Phaedrus. It then turns to specific episodes in War and Peace and Anna Karenina where a central character harbouring str angers in experiences a viking worldor a similar process of inspiration. an epiphany Cathartic in nature, these episodes show the character rising from a mundane level of experience towards an entirely new level, variously described as infinite, eternal, or divine.

A Historical Archaeology of the Kingdom of Israel (ca. 1000–720 BCE)

Writing and Society in Early Iran

This Element offers a fresh and distinctive viewpoint on the historical-archaeology of monarchic Israel during the Iron Age (ca. 1000–720 BCE). It provides an easy-to-read archaeological overview of main finds from key sites in the northern parts of the southern Levant, which opens the door to beginners as well as to experts into the world of biblical archaeology. It further discusses methodological questions pertaining to the identification of political entities in the archaeological record, and the ways in which material remains and textual sources interact. This Element does not presuppose Israel as a well-defined and long-lasting political entity but aims to uncover its underlying social and political hierarchies and interactions, thus portraying a more nuanced image of monarchic Israel: the communities from which it consisted, the sociopolitical infrastructure that facilitated its emergence and maintenance, and the ways in which political hegemony was exercised within it.

This Element explores the origins, current state, and future of the archaeological study of identity. A floruit of scholarship in the late twentieth century introduced identity as a driving force in society, and archaeologists sought expressions of gender, status, ethnicity, and more in the material remains of the past. A robust consensus emerged about identity and its characteristics: dynamic; contested; context-driven; performative; polyvalent; and intersectional. From the early 2000s, identity studies were challenged by new theories of materiality and ontology on the one hand, and by an influx of new data from bioarchaeology on the other. Yet identity studies have proven remarkably enduring. Through European case studies from prehistory to the present, this Element charts identity’s evolving place in anthropological archaeology.

Ancient and Pre-modern Economies The Pre-Modern Māori Economy

Religion, Writing, and the Shaping of the Classic Maya World

The enslavement of Africans in the Americas profoundly shaped the continent’s demography, cultures, languages, and legal systems, playing a decisive role in modern economic growth and the rise of industrial capitalism. Yet, its historical interpretation remains contested. One view sees modern slavery as beginning with the transatlantic slave trade, disconnecting it from earlier traditions in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Another claims slavery is a universal institution, unchanged across millennia. Moving beyond this dichotomy, the Element offers a new framework for the study of Black slavery in the Americas. It situates slavery within a broader and older human geography: a world region of enslavement that dates back to the deep historical formation of the Mediterranean basin. By tracing the emergence of modern slavery from within this ancient system, the Element sheds new light on its conditions of existence, collapse, and reconfiguration up to the present day.

BLACK AND KIM

This Element introduces the Existential-Spiritual Psychotherapy framework as a promising clinical and research tool and then integrates it with the three pillars of the Multicultural Orientation framework. Section 1 presents Existential-Spiritual Psychotherapy by exploring how spirituality and religion intersect with existentialism and how all three relate to psychotherapy, psychological symptoms, well-being, and flourishing. Section 2 details the Existential-Spiritual Narrative as a roadmap that offers a process framework and introduces the integration of dynamic and culturally sensitive symbols. Section 3 explores existential-spiritual comfort, encouraging therapists’ self-awareness around spiritual themes. Section 4 identifies common existential-spiritual opportunities, helping clinicians recognize and engage culturally embedded spiritual content. Section 5 discusses existential-spiritual humility, promoting a posture of humble expertise when navigating spiritual material. Throughout, the authors offer an empirically informed, culturally attuned framework while promoting a dialectical balance in integrating spirituality and religion into psychotherapy.

Ageism, defined as stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination based on age, is a pervasive phenomenon across individuals, settings, historical periods, and cultures. To address the universality of ageism, we explore three main questions: (a) Does ageism happen throughout the course of a person’s life? (b) Does ageism permeate all spheres of life? (c) Does ageism exist all around the world? We conclude that although ageism is universal, there are substantial variations in its definition, manifestations, and impact over time and in different sociocultural contexts. The variability identified suggests that we cannot use a one-size-fits-all approach to conceptualize or target ageism, but instead we should adopt a personalized approach, which considers the sociocultural context, the personal attributes of the targets and agents of ageism, and the normative framework concerning ageism at the global and local levels. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Discover a critical assessment of the major psychological theories of intergroup relations, complemented by contemporary empirical research.

Culture underlies psychology, poorly defined; this Element offers a rigorous framework and measures for precise, valid research.

This Element examines the relationship between mental health and religiosity from an evolutionary perspective. Drawing on psychology, anthropology, and health science, it explores the origins of religiosity and the cultural evolution of religious traditions to identify how religious beliefs, behaviors, and affiliations have influenced human psychosocial functioning over time. First, it defines the concepts of mental health and religiosity and then summarizes research on contemporary associations between them. This synthesis highlights the multidimensionality of each construct and the variability in their association across individuals and cultural contexts. Building on theory, the Element introduces a novel multilevel framework to explain how religiosity and mental health have interacted differently across evolutionary, cultural, and personal timescales. It concludes by considering applications of this evolutionary science, proposing that individuals who understand how religiosity and mental health are associated can more intentionally cultivate personal forms of religiosity that benefit, rather than hinder, well-being.

The debate over the relative merits of adopting functional universal psychological principles, processes, and constructs (etics) versus particular structural idiosyncratic characteristics and behaviors distinct to specific cultural groups (emics) has been present in the anthropological and psychological literature for decades. Evident in the discussion is that the basic principles and processes tend to be universal, whereas theoretical concepts – and to a greater extent personal attributes, behavioral patterns, norms, beliefs, attitudes, and values – have an indigenous base. Recurring crises within the Euro-Meso-North-American scientific psychological tradition are traceable to the lack of cultural and eco-systemic sensitivity and an attempt to indiscriminately generalize findings across behavioral settings. Psychology requires an approach that integrates behavioral and cultural models for which an independent measure of structural sociocultural variables are included. The main argument presented within this manuscript is that the measurement of historic-sociocultural premises (norms and beliefs) achieve such a purpose.

Post-Humanistic Love

WILLIAMS AND GOMEZ

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence into everyday life has extended beyond functional assistance into the intimate domains of emotion, companionship, and love. AI chatbots and virtual companions are increasingly engaged as emotional confidants, romantic partners, and sources of care, prompting a re-evaluation of how intimacy is constituted and experienced in a technologically mediated society. This Element examines the emergence of what is termed post-humanistic love, defined as a profound emotional and romantic attachment formed between humans and artificial agents. Drawing on sociological and philosophical theories of intimacy, love, and post-humanism, the Element explores how AI interfaces reconfigure classical conceptions of love, as well as contemporary understandings of emotional reflexivity, distant intimacy and emotional labour. Empirically, the study analyses first-person accounts describing romantic and emotionally significant relationships with AI companions. The findings highlight both the affective potency and the ethical fragility of AI-mediated intimacy in the post-human condition.

Experimental Political Science

Heuristic Inference and the Left-Right

About the Series There currently are few outlets for extended works on experimental methodology in political science. The new Experimental Political Science Cambridge Elements series features research on experimental approaches to a given substantive topic, and experimental methods by prominent and upcoming experts in the field.

LEE ET AL.

How do voters form left–right images of political parties? This Element applies the theoretical framework of ecologically rational heuristic inference to synthesize insights from the extensive literature on the meaning of left and right in politics. It proposes several hypotheses about cues that voters with varying levels of political sophistication use to infer parties’ left–right positions. These expectations are tested through seven conjoint and factorial survey experiments in Germany, Denmark, Canada, and the UK. Findings show that many voters develop sensible left–right perceptions of parties by relying on small sets of highly predictive cues. However, voters differ in how they interpret these cues. Less politically sophisticated voters tend to infer party positions mainly from partisan signals, whereas more sophisticated voters rely on a broader range of indicators, including party policies, ideological values, and social group support. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Hedging, not balancing or bandwagoning, is the modal behavior of the non-great powers under uncertainty. Despite its prevalence as a state alignment choice, hedging has remained an undertheorized subject in the study of international relations. This Element presents one of the first theoretical works on strategic hedging in world politics. Tracing the multidisciplinary roots of hedging as an instinctive human behavior, I contend that sovereign actors hedge in ways similar to commodity traders, farmers, fund managers, academic writers, politicians, and individuals in competitive organizations under conditions of high-stakes and high-uncertainties. I then develop a two-level theoretical framework to explain when, how and why states hedge, rather than balance or bandwagon. Using selected Indo-Pacific countries as empirical cases, I conclude that while structural-level conditions largely explain the shifts in alignment decisions (e.g., from non-hedging to hedging, or vice versa), domestic factors explain the variations in hedging choices.

Maximilien Robespierre

Another Cold War Liberalism

This Element explores how citizens understand general crime and violence against women, especially intimate partner violence (IPV). Drawing on interdisciplinary literature, this Element makes the case that cognitive heuristics and risk assessments, in particular, shape the way people see crime versus IPV. The central argument is that cognitive heuristics that generate risk perceptions help us understand why the public worries excessively about crime, with important political consequences, while downplaying IPV. This fosters distinct attitudes toward IPV and general crime. Accordingly, this Element sheds light on why victim-blaming is so prevalent in the context of IPV. Using original survey experiments from Brazil and Mexico, the study shows that respondents attribute more responsibility for prevention to the victim for IPV than for general crimes, display optimism bias with acquaintance victimization, and approve different types of policy remedies to deal with general crime and IPV.

Mapping Global Digital Political Inequality

Cover image: andipantz / iStock / Getty Images Plus

Inequality is an essential concept for understanding the impact of digital media on political life. This Element offers an empirical portrait of digital political inequality globally. We find that gaps in online political information reception and engagement are prevalent worldwide and growing over time. These inequalities are related to the resources held by individuals, the experiences of groups, and the economic, democratic, and technological development of societies. Moreover, we find that digital political media use is associated with greater participation in electoral politics and belief in democracy, while at the same time lower political trust and satisfaction with political systems. Based on these findings, we offer an agenda for studying digital political inequality across societal, technological, institutional, and individual levels. Ultimately, digital media not only create walls that separate the political haves and have-nots, but also windows and doors to greater political voice and influence for the less powerful.

Comparative Political Theory

Another Cold War Liberalism

About the Series Responding to urgent concerns as well as analyzing long-standing issues, the Comparative Political Theory Elements series invites engagements with texts and media from multiple languages, genres, and time periods. Elements in this series demonstrate the viability and meaning of historically-marginalized bodies of thought for audiences beyond their place of origin, while maintaining attention to the rich particularity of diverse global reflections on politics.

KIM

This Element revisits the conceptual history of freedom and democracy in Cold War South Korea. Cold War liberalism is usually told as a North Atlantic story of defensive anti-communism, the ‘liberalism of fear’, and pluralist scepticism towards mass politics. Yet behind that veneer lay another face — the technocratic administrative state — that became dominant once Cold War liberalism reached the decolonising periphery under the rubric of ‘modernisation’. Through conceptual history, it traces how freedom and democracy were recombined with nationalism, developmentalism and other moral-economic registers, generating conceptual problematics the metropolitan tradition had rarely been compelled to confront. From the Founding Constitution through ‘Korean-style democracy’ to the minjung turn and democratic transition, Cold War Korea emerges not as belated reception but as a vantage from which the Cold War liberal project’s constitutive tensions become visible — tensions that remained latent at the metropolitan centre, and unresolved long after the Cold War itself ended.

Quantile models are widely used across the natural and social sciences to analyze heterogeneous phenomena that conventional mean-based approaches often obscure. Yet, despite their growing importance in many disciplines, their adoption in political science has remained comparatively limited, in part because the field still lacks an accessible introduction tailored to its substantive questions and empirical practices. This Element addresses that gap by showing how quantile models can expand the methodological repertoire of political science and deepen our understanding of political phenomena. Combining methodological innovation with practical guidance, this Element introduces quantile models for both continuous and discrete response variables and illustrates their use with real-world political examples. All empirical applications are accompanied by publicly available data, code, and software, making the Element a useful resource for both teaching and research.

In Central and Eastern Europe, disinformation threatens democratic stability, inflames ideological divides, and weakens Western geopolitical commitments. Drawing on cross-national analyses, as well as in-depth studies of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, this Element analyzes: the relationship between ideological polarization and disinformation supply; the challenges of building anti-disinformation efforts; individual-level demand for disinformation; and the effects of disinformation on public opinion. Ideological polarization over sociocultural issues predicts disinformation supply, and sociocultural conservatives with antiWestern views constitute a disinformation-susceptible audience that struggles to distinguish between false and true narratives. Elite-level divisions over the threat posed by disinformation exacerbate these dynamics, hampering efforts to build disinformation resilience. However, disinformation largely fails to persuade. Among most individuals, attitudinal backlash is more common. Disinformation does not win over hearts and minds; rather, its appeal reflects the salience of contentious issues that have emerged as a result of wider political realignments.

The Social Foundations of Constitutional Innovation

Green BRI as the New BRI

China’s Green Belt and Road Initiative (GBRI) was launched in 2017 to address key criticisms of the original BRI and to better align China’s overseas development strategy with the global climate agenda. This research examines whether the GBRI represents a genuine shift in China or just a symbolic gesture, and explores its underlying domestic and international drivers. Specifically, it interrogates three prevailing interpretations of the GBRI: a greenwashing tactic, a geopolitical strategy, and a global climate cooperation effort. Our analysis reveals a more dynamic and nuanced process behind the GBRI’s emergence and evolution in China. On the one hand, the initiative is rooted in Chinese green industrialization and globalization, interacting with external opportunities and constraints. On the other hand, the rise of GBRI has elicited diverse responses: while US-aligned countries have imposed barriers, emerging markets, while selectively, have embraced Chinese green energy investments.

International Relations

Mapping Global IR

The number of international human rights institutions and countries participating in them has risen dramatically in recent decades, precipitating debates about why countries make such commitments and whether these commitments improve members’ human rights behavior. These debates have centered on a small number of human rights treaties, with far less attention paid to the larger number of international organizations (IOs) that aim to promote human rights. The Element argues and then demonstrates that state decisions about joining these IOs depend on the institutional design of the organizations, specifically sovereignty costs for member states. These costs stem from the constraints that IOs impose and vary substantially. Emerging democracies are most likely to enter high sovereignty cost IOs. Furthermore, organizations that generate higher sovereignty costs tend to produce better human rights outcomes than those generating fewer sovereignty costs for all regimes.

Indo-Pacific Security

Decolonizing Security in East Asia

American Exceptionalism?

SHIH ET. AL

Decolonizing Security in East Asia challenges failing sovereign-centric models in the Indo-Pacific. It identifies a “postcolonial security dilemma” where states camouflage ontological identity anxieties as existential survival discourse to secure Western recognition. The advocacy for an “Asian NATO” epitomizes this mimicry, institutionalizing rigid binaries that provoke regional friction and invite the very external interventions they claim to deter. While regional groupings such as ASEAN or BRICS attempt to “delink” from Western hegemony, they often fall into a “Sovereign Sensibility Trap.” By hyper-fixating on sovereign equality, they ironically reproduce colonial logic, inviting fragmentation and marginalizing local peace. Moving beyond state-centrism, this Element proposes “pluriversal coexistence” as a radical alternative. Through subaltern sites and grassroots vignettes, it demonstrates how security is found in relational, nonbinary practices rather than rigid borders. This Element provides a transformative framework for moving beyond the colonial architectures currently fracturing East Asian security.

What if the deepest resources for globalizing IR lie not in capitalist modernity, but in humanity’s much older struggles against hierarchy? This Element argues that Global IR cannot become genuinely anti-Eurocentric unless it breaks decisively with “methodological presentism”: the tendency to read the past in terms of the present. Engaging Global IR debates, and drawing on Karl Polanyi, Political Marxism, and evolutionary anthropology, the Element offers a non-presentist macrohistorical narrative. It mobilizes deep history to trace the millennia-old human capacities to refuse domination, pursue autonomy, and sustain cooperation, thereby inviting readers to fundamentally rethink the sources of human interconnectedness and solidarity. On this basis, it proposes “radical modernity”, rooted in the prehistoric legacy of “radical egalitarianism”, as an alternative to capitalist modernity. Radical modernity is not a Western achievement later diffused to the non-Western world, but an alternative foundation for rethinking universality, difference, and the “international” from below.

FRIESEN

While the politicization of ethnic identities is readily observed around the world, a generalized understanding of what makes members of a particular group more likely to coordinate their votes towards a single party or candidate remains elusive. This Element scrutinizes voting patterns at the social group level based on individual-level survey data and controlling for country-level variables across 115 countries. The findings highlight how the characteristics of ethnic groups, especially size and crosscutting patterns, interact within political institutions. Three group-level characteristics are especially influential to bloc voting – stronger geographic concentration, greater internal alignment of group members across other identity dimensions, and groups whose members are more distinctive across identity dimensions compared to the broader population. When analyzed across political institutions, the highest rates of bloc voting occur among small groups with low crosscutting in permissive settings and medium groups with low crosscutting in restrictive settings.

Shocks, Democracy, and Rural Unrest

About the Series The Cambridge Elements series Global China showcases thematic, regionor country-specific studies on China’s multifaceted global engagements and impacts. Each title, written by a leading scholar of the subject matter at hand, combines a succinct, comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the debates in the scholarly literature with original analysis and a clear argument.

Global China

Existing perspectives suggest that waves of rural unrest arise as responses to economic and environmental shocks. The authors propose an integrated framework, grounded in the literature on interest group politics and state-society relations, to explain the dynamics of rural protests by commercial farmers and peasants in democracies during periods of disruptive and rapid change. Focusing empirically on South America during the 2000s agricultural boom, the authors argue that contentious collective action under democratic rule during shocks is a costly political strategy shaped by access to connections in formal policymaking arenas and the cohesiveness of organizations representing farmer and peasant interests. To substantiate their argument, the authors conduct within- and cross-case comparisons of Argentina and Paraguay, employing a mix of primary and secondary evidence, and incorporating shadow cases from Brazil and Bolivia.

Fuzzy Authoritarian Rule

This Element examines China’s evolving relations with the Bretton Woods institutions (BWIs), specifically the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group from the 1980s through 2025. Using a combination of new qualitative findings and quantitative datasets, the authors observe that China has taken an evolving approach to the BWIs in order to achieve its multiple agendas, acting largely as a “rule-taker” during its first two decades as a member, but, over time, also becoming a “rule-shaker” inside the BWIs, and ultimately a new “rule-maker” outside of the BWIs. The analysis highlights China’s exercise of “two-way countervailing power” with one foot inside the BWIs, and another outside, and pushing for changes in both directions. China’s interventions have resulted in BWs reforms and the gradual transformation of the global order, while also generating counter-reactions especially from the United States. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

MILLIFF AND STANILAND

How has Indian public opinion toward the United States, China, and Russia/USSR evolved from the 1950s to the present and to what extent does it shape foreign policy? This Element assembles and analyzes more than sixty years of survey data, including newly recovered United States Information Agency–funded polls from the Indian Institute of Public Opinion as well as contemporary nationally representative surveys from Pew, Gallup, and others. The authors use the data to examine long-run trends, short-term reactions to shocks, and the domestic cleavages that structure opinion. They argue that Indian public attitudes are more coherent and responsive to international events than commonly assumed, yet are unequally voiced across socioeconomic groups. The findings speak both to India-specific debates about democracy and foreign policy and to broader international relations theories of public opinion, accountability, and major power politics.

Revisiting histories of the 1979 revolution in Iran, Arash Davari explores how millions of people defied expectations and joined popular assemblies to demand the fall of the Pahlavi regime. Insurgent Witness presents an archetype of revolutionary subjectivity as partisan and spectator at once, challenging prevailing assumptions about social change and popular sovereignty in contemporary political thought.

While bribery has been extensively studied, the dynamics of personnel corruption in the public sector, often known as “buying and selling of government offices,” remain underexplored. This form of corruption involves leaders accepting or soliciting bribes from subordinates to influence recruitment, appointment, and promotion decisions, significantly impacting political selection and governance quality. This Element employs a dual perspective – corruption and elite mobility – to analyze the distribution of office-selling across the Chinese administrative matrix and its various forms and implications. Using two novel self-compiled datasets, it proposes a tripartite framework of performance, patronage, and purchase to reimagine political selection in China, highlighting the coexistence of multiple governance models: a meritocratic state prioritizing competence, a clientelist state emphasizing loyalty, and an investment state bound by money.

Revolution by Stealth

Justice Beyond Rights

MAJUMDAR ET AL.

Revolution by Stealth: How Women’s Groups Catalyzed a Cultural Transformation in Bihar tells the story of how Jeevika, a large-scale livelihoods project, sparked far-reaching change in one of India’s poorest and most patriarchal states. Based on four years of qualitative fieldwork embedded within a randomized trial, the Element traces how federated self-help groups enabled marginalized women to access credit, build collective capacity, and reshape gender norms. Through shared rituals, new roles, and solidarity networks, women moved from domestic isolation to public voice, challenging caste and patriarchal hierarchies. Conceptualizing Jeevika as an “induced social movement,” the authors show how statesupported programs rooted in local traditions can generate durable empowerment. Empirically rich and theoretically grounded, the Element offers an interdisciplinary synthesis across development economics, sociology, and feminist theory, advancing debates on agency, norm change, and participatory development.

Understanding the Dynamics of Inequality for Growth and Development

BOUMANS

The mathematisation of economics took place in three different ways, each based on an image of mathematics that was endorsed by a practice of mathematisation and which remained the dominant image until another image became dominant. The first dominant image was that of mathematics as a science of forms, which was embraced in the 1920s by the early econometric programme of scientisation. The resulting methodology was the modelling style developed at MIT in the 1940s and 1950s. The next dominant image was that of mathematics as a science of structure. It was introduced into economics by von Neumann and opened the door for Bourbaki mathematics, which set the standards for mathematical rigour. The third image of algorithms entered economics through research into decision-making under uncertainty. By turning the decision-maker into a ‘representative agent’ who takes decisions at a macro level, this approach reshaped macroeconomic analysis in the 1970s and 1980s.

Understanding the Dynamics of Inequality for Growth and Development

Despite past progress toward gender equality, recent trends reveal a stagnating – or even reversing – situation since 2019. According to recent estimates, full parity is to be reached in 134 years, shifting this achievement from 2030 to 2158. Women still exhibit worse conditions than men everywhere in the world, but the gender gaps are particularly stark in the global South. This Element provides an overview of cutting-edge research in the economics of gender inequality in the global South, while offering a snapshot of women’s living conditions using recent worldwide available data. The evidence reviewed encompasses a large set of possible solutions to end gender inequality, from policy reforms that ban discriminatory practices and grant equal rights to men and women, to antipoverty programs, as well as interventions facilitating women’s access to formal education and the labor market. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Kant derives general duties, and that it is only the third formula (Autonomy/Realm of Ends) that represents a complete and definitive statement of the moral principle as Kant derives it in the Groundwork. The Element also disputes the claim that the various formulas are ‘equivalent’, arguing that this claim is either false or else nonsensical because it is grounded on a false premise about what Kant thinks a moral principle is for.

History of Economics

Keynes, Keynesianism, and International Organisations

Historians and political scientists typically examine Keynesianism as an economic doctrine suitable for industrialised nation-states. This Element studies intergovernmental organisations as central to the discussion and globalisation of Keynesian ideas. It provides a historical survey of how Keynes’s work and the Keynesian macroeconomics it inspired impacted the League of Nations and the United Nations (UN), from 1920 to 1980. League experts both critiqued and used Keynes’s writings to legitimise their proposals for monetary and fiscal stabilisation. Later, UN economists turned to Keynesianism to conceptualise and operationalise their own work. Keynes was also a guiding reference for UN experts in imagining the multilateral regulation of monetary and trade relations. By uncovering the contrasting understandings of Keynesianism that cohabited within the capacious settings of international organisations, this Element tells the story of how thinkers from both the Global South and the Global North co-created today’s instruments of macroeconomic governance.

SAMPAIO

International economics is a distinct field with Kenneth A. Reinert both fundamental theoretical insights and George Mason increasing empirical and policy relevance. The University Cambridge Elements in International Economics series showcases this field, covering the subfields of international trade, international money and finance, and international production, and featuring both established researchers and new contributors from all parts of the world. It aims for a level of theoretical discourse slightly above that of the Journal of Economic Perspectives to maintain accessibility. It extends Cambridge University Press’ established reputation in international economics into the new, digital format of Cambridge Elements. It attempts to fill the niche once occupied by the Princeton Essays in International Finance, a series that no longer exists.

Global Value Chains in Southeast Asia

Series Editor

About the Series

KORWATANASAKUL ET AL.

This Element explores the developmental implications of Southeast Asia’s participation in global value chains (GVCs), focusing on the coffee, textile and clothing, and automotive sectors. While GVC integration has supported industrialisation, exports, and employment, the benefits are not guaranteed. Southeast Asian countries, except for a few cases, remain confined to low-value-added activities, with limited innovation, weak support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and persistent inequality. Sectoral case studies reveal barriers to upgrading: smallholder coffee farmers face institutional and coordination challenges; textile and clothing producers in Cambodia and Myanmar are stuck in low-skill roles; and domestic automotive firms struggle to move beyond assembly. The Element calls for a shift from passive participation to active upgrading through stronger innovation systems, SME support, social and environmental standards, and deeper regional cooperation. It concludes that GVCs can promote inclusive and sustainable growth—but only when embedded in deliberate national and regional strategies.

About the Series Cambridge Elements in Quantitative Finance aims for broad coverage of all major topics within the field. Written at a level appropriate for advanced undergraduate or graduate students and practitioners, Elements combines reports on original research covering an author’s personal area of expertise, tutorials and masterclasses on emerging methodologies, and reviews of the most important literature.

REBONATO

The authors introduce a novel bootstrap approach to resampling asset price data that can be used for both finitematurity assets and equities. The key insight is that they bootstrap primitive objects with more appealing statistical properties to avoid resampling series with strong time-series and cross-sectional dependence. They then recover the original dependence structure in an internally consistent manner via definitional identities. Their bootstrap is nonparametric in nature and so avoids the common practice of committing to a tightly parameterized pricing model with explicit assumptions on the form of cross-sectional and time-series dependence. They demonstrate the appealing finite-sample properties of their bootstrap approach in a series of simulation experiments and empirical applications.

Indigenous Environmental Rights

ENGLE

Contemporary international human rights law increasingly obligates states to heighten their criminalization of certain human rights violations, including gendered, racialized, and homophobic violence. This Element uses prison and police abolitionist thought to challenge this trend. It focuses on the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), arguing that the Court’s reliance on punishment and policing threatens to undo earlier European approaches to criminal law and human rights that resonate with abolitionist thought. It also contends that the criminalization approach provides the Court with an alibi for not recognizing or attending to the deeply structural racialized, colonial, sexual, gendered, and homophobic violence in Europe, particularly but not only against Roma communities and Black and Muslim migrants. Encouraging human rights advocates and judges to take seriously prison and police abolition in Europe and elsewhere, the Element calls for the ECtHR to pave the way for an abolitionist-oriented turn among human rights courts.

under Article 15 ICESCR, focusing on the novel concept of its core content, as well as on its rights holders and duty bearers. Monika Plozza challenges on the one hand and civil and political rights on the other, demonstrating that the right to science is indeed justiciable. Situating it within the wider framework of international human rights law, she traces its connections with a broad range of related rights. In doing so, this book equips scholars, practitioners and policymakers with the legal tools needed to invoke and implement the right to science in judicial and policy contexts. Timely and rigorous, it establishes the right to science as a vital legal framework for confronting global challenges ranging from climate change and disinformation to artificial intelligence.

This book examines a group of mostly Social Democratic resisters and emigres whose biographies from the Nazi seizure of power until the defeat and occupation of Germany caused a radical change in the constitutional politics of postwar West Germany. Most notably, they embraced the idea of a “militant democracy” in which the free democratic order would be protected from democracy’s supposedly self-destructive proclivities by banning extremist parties and organizations from the political arena, and empowering what is arguably the strongest constitutional court in the world to review legislation, enforce militant democracy, and generally act as a “guardian of the constitution.” This was an antifascist response to popular support for the German dictatorship and its worst crimes. In the postwar, these anti-Nazis empowered courts to review legislation as a way to try Nazi war criminals and purge Nazi ideology from German law.

Data Rights and Wrongs

Revisiting the Relationship between Privacy and Data Protection

About the Series This Cambridge Elements series provides a home for fresh arguments about data rights and wrongs along with legal, ethical and other responses. We encourage new ways of thinking about data as enmeshed within social, institutional and technical relations.

BASRI

This Element revisits the unsettled relationship between (information) privacy and data protection, exploring why it remains elusive, complex, and often misunderstood. It does so by integrating conceptual, regulatory, and legal analysis. First, it identifies and discusses three conceptualisations of privacy in the literature, arguing that they should be understood complementarily rather than alternatively to provide a layered account of privacy. Second, it examines how each of these conceptualisations is reflected in the language and substance of key regional and international data protection frameworks. Third, it analyses their relationship through a legal lens, assessing the extent to which core data protection principles appear in human rights jurisprudence on the right to privacy. By bringing together these strands of analysis, it demonstrates that privacy and data protection overlap yet remain non-identical, and illustrates why their boundaries remain difficult to delineate. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

AI Mental Health Support and the Case for Distributed Networked Regulation

MIHALAND BLACK

Series Editors Megan Richardson University of Melbourne Rachelle Bosua Deakin University Damian Clifford Australian National University Jake Goldenfein University of Melbourne Jeannie Marie Paterson University of Melbourne Julian Thomas RMIT University

This Element introduces a new jurisprudence for exploring artificial intelligence (AI) and law in an open and creative way. Drawing upon the backgrounds of, respectively, an Indigenous jurisprudent and poet (Black) and a legal philosopher (Mihal), the Element develops a ‘mythosophical’ approach informed by narrative theory, Indigenous jurisprudence, and original interpretations of stories from the past. To imagine possible lawful futures with AI, the Element weaves a stream of what it calls ‘flows’, designed to allow readers openness and flexibility as they engage with the ideas underpinning this new jurisprudence. As worldwide changes sweep us into a vortex of ceaseless innovation, the Element provides a cultural scaffolding through which to relate to AI as an autonomous, cunning, ‘non-human’ intelligence in lawful terms. It offers insights both old and new which assist in reconceptualising problems and aligning with the paradigm-shattering changes of the present day.

Data Rights and Wrongs AI Mental Health Support and the Case for Distributed Networked Regulation

PATERSON

Clinicians and consumers have long been interested in using purpose-built chatbots to provide mental health support. Specifically designed ‘therapy bots’ are now available direct-to-consumer, even though researchers have yet to establish their efficacy, safety and viability. Whatever their merits or limitations, the role for specialised therapy bots has been overshadowed by the increasing number of people using AI companions and general-purpose generative AI chatbots for mental health support. Reports have implicated these offerings in instances of user self-harm and psychosis, prompting calls for more robust regulation across the entire field. This Element examines the opportunities, risks and legal landscape of AI for direct-to-consumer therapy bots and related mental health support tools and considers a response of distributed regulatory networks. This approach abandons any pretence of a single body of law providing an effective and palatable response for concerns raised by therapy bots and the challenges posed by evolving technologies operating in sensitive domains.

Decolonising Research Practices in Education

Generative AI for Second Language Writing Feedback, Assessment, and Instruction

This Element explores kincentric and relational methodologies for decolonising educational research. While Indigenous methodologies emphasise decoloniality, relational accountability, and kinship, mainstream research often neglects these principles. Addressing this gap, it introduces Dùthchas – an Indigenous Gaelic concept of kinship, interconnectedness, and ethical responsibility – as a kincentric, relational methodology. Drawing on research with Anishinaabe and Gaelic community members and broader Indigenous scholarship, the Element interrogates dominant paradigms and reframes data collection, analysis, and dissemination as knowledge gathering, generation, and sharing. It advocates participatory, community-led design and Indigenous-informed analytic approaches, such as Anishinaabe Bizindam (deep listening) and Càirdeas (Gaelic kinship), grounded in researcher positionality and reflexivity. Practical guidance is provided for implementing kincentric and relational methodologies, while respecting Indigenous data sovereignty and cultural protocols. By bridging Indigenous and non-Indigenous traditions, it offers theoretical insights and a framework for decolonising research practices.

Teachers as AI Developers

AI Maturity

Generative AI in Education

This Element analyzes the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in schooling as the emergence of a new form of child labor. The first section theorizes digital educational privatization, demonstrating how AI platforms extract value from student activity by converting learning into data production, extending standards and accountability reforms, deskilling teachers, and normalizing surveillance. The second section examines the rise of AI schools, focusing on Alpha School as a case through which teacher labor is automated, corporate culture is installed as pedagogy, and schooling is reorganized around profit, techno-utopianism, and anti-democratic assumptions. The third section explores the possibilities and limits of critical AI education. While arguing that AI systems cannot themselves enact critical pedagogy, it identifies conditions under which digital technologies may be repurposed to support critical and democratic education. Drawing on activist and investigative projects such as Forensic Architecture, the Element argues for teachers as cultural workers capable of developing technological practices that resist labor extraction and expand critical, public, and democratic education.

SALTMAN

Generative AI in Education

The dominance of commercial AI in education has created a paradox: While these tools promise transformation, they perpetuate dependency, financial barriers, and environmental unsustainability. This Element challenges the “technical mystique,” the misconception that AI development requires expertise beyond educators’ reach, and demonstrates how teachers can become creators rather than consumers of educational technology. The authors chronicle their transformation from linguists and educators to AI developers without formal computer science training, illustrating how the technical barriers educators face are often more perceived than real. Through detailed case studies, including an AI-assisted dialogue system (ADS) for multilingual nurse–patient training and assessment, they demonstrate how teachers can leverage AI coding assistants, browser-based models, and open-source resources to develop pedagogically tailored applications. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Academic Integrity in the Age of AI

About the Series Generative AI is one of the most disruptive technologies in modern history, with the potential to dramatically transform education for better or worse. This series will address cutting-edge topics on the intersection of generative AI with educational research and practice for diverse learners from early childhood to adult.

BERTRAM GALLANT ET AL.

GenAI has rapidly and universally disrupted teaching, learning, and assessing with integrity. In this Element, the authors first orient readers to the academic integrity landscape and then examine historical technological disruptions to academic integrity for lessons learned. Readers are then transported to 2045 with a fictional depiction of the type of university that will unfortunately emerge if we continue our historical practice of layering technology onto a twentieth-century educational platform rather than re-envisioning academic integrity. After analysing this possible future, the authors offer a multi-layered and balanced approach to the problem through developing guidelines, policies, and procedures; rethinking assessment design; and cultivating humans who will act ethically, in the age of AI. Overall, this Element offers evidence-based strategies that instructors and institutions can adapt to their contexts, emphasising that as humans, we have the agency to shape the integrity we want and deserve.

The regular public transmission of news was one of the great inventions of the Renaissance. This Element, while offering a general account of news in the period, will convey the latest research results concerning the dynamics and significance of this major development. Drivers of change, apart from sheer curiosity, included state officials seeking opportunities, merchants seeking markets, writers seeking jobs. Traditional oral settings for news exchange, in homes, at court, and in public squares, from this period onward would have a constant supply of new topics of conversation originating not only from local occurrences but from far away, and not only from books, pamphlets and private letters, but also from regularly produced news sheets – first handwritten, then printed –covering what were thought to be the major events of the day, with significant effects on widespread ways of thinking and behaving.

Bhattacharya Banerjee

Knowledge/Nation brings together academics trained in different disciplines and interdisciplinary fields, analysing how India—and the generic political form of the nation—has figured as an object of knowledge and a site of critical reflection in the last hundred years. The idea is to use the nation both as a frame and an object of critique—to explore how disciplines evolve within this frame while disassembling and reassembling the nation itself. The volume presents a wide coverage—not only narrating the evolution of mainstream disciplines such as history, political studies, economics, and literature in the wider context of democratic contestation but also asking difficult questions of the disciplines, such as how and why philosophy and religious studies never became mainstream in the academy, even though they remained salient in public debates, how interdisciplinary fields such as gender studies and film studies came up primarily under inspiration from political and cultural movements outside the academy, and whether a subject such as environmental studies can be framed by the nation at all, given that we are facing planetary-scale ecological polycrises.

MANUCCI

The far right is achieving unprecedented electoral success, even in countries once considered immune such as Spain and Portugal. For decades, the stigma surrounding the long dictatorships of António Salazar and Francisco Franco seemed to inoculate the Iberian Peninsula against far-right mobilisation, yet Chega and VOX have shown that collective memory evolves – and stigma fades. This Element argues that understanding the far right’s global rise requires attention to authoritarian nostalgia: a longing for an idealised authoritarian past. When activated by credible political actors with sufficient media visibility, this sentiment can generate support for far-right movements even in societies with a collective memory firmly condemning their authoritarian past. Using original survey data, the Element shows how contemporary far-right forces mobilise the ghosts of authoritarianism to erode democratic norms, revealing the enduring power of collective memory in shaping political behaviour.

History - other areas

Through an in-depth study of the electoral process, the aim of this Element is to analyse the political transformations that occurred in Italy from 1919 to 1924. After the takeover of the lower house by the mass integration parties in 1919 – Popular and Socialist – concerns grew within the liberal camp. The argument of this Element is that the conservatives failed to adapt and remain competitive in a system characterised by universal suffrage, thereby paving the way for the rise of the fascists. The electoral path to power begins with the political elections of 1921, continues through the renewal of the municipal councils in 1922–3, and concludes with the elections of 1924 when Mussolini managed to take control of the low chamber. The Duce assumed the role of head of the nation, presenting a list of candidates – the Listone – that included members of the Fascist Party and the former political elite.

This remarkable volume on the Hindu/Presidency College (1817/1855), offers, not a connected history, but a set of brilliant, nuanced studies of an institution that played a critical role in the intellectual life of Bengal and India for nearly two hundred years. Using archival data, social analysis, and anecdotal evidence to look at questions of status, apparatus, language, and identity, it problematizes with exceptional clarity the central issues of excellence and exclusion, showing how achievements in the experimental and social sciences, and in textual scholarship (by figures like J.C. Bose, P.C. Mahalanobis, Susobhan Sarkar, and H.M. Percival) had to contend with colonial discrimination and neglect, while the college’s elitism, fostered by state patronage, alienated ‘provincials’ within and outside its fold. The editors’ focus on the complicated inner life of an institution whose public face is on official record restores ambivalence, conflict and resonance to our understanding of historical processes. This is exemplary, essential reading. Supriya Chaudhuri, Jadavpur University

Two Faces of Fascism

In skilfully exploring the sustained production of academic excellence in the face of colonial constraints and checks, this volume reveals the institutional imaginations and pedagogical experiments that animated British India’s premier educational establishment. Known as much for its vibrant intellectual culture as for its routine production of English-educated babus who constituted the bureaucratic and clerical backbone of the Raj, the Hindu College/Presidency College schooled generations of young men who spearheaded everything from the Bengal renaissance to early Indian nationalism. Critically, in also suggesting that such excellence and eminence co-existed with systemic exclusions, the authors of this innovative endeavour, many distinguished alumni themselves, remind us that privilege and prerogative have for long undergirded higher education in colonial and postcolonial India. Sumathi Ramaswamy, Duke University

The Hindu/Presidency College

Islamic Intellectual History in the Mughal Era

This edited volume offers a collection of outstanding articles, coming together with a rare level of coherence. It presents a history of the Hindu College/Presidency College over roughly 150 years, covering the institutional history and the relations with the colonial state no less than the history of the knowledge produced and transmitted, the lives of the professors and the students and closing with a close look at practices of memorialization. While the focus is on the college, it remains embedded in the world beyond its walls, be it Kolkata’s vernacular publics and policies or the transnational influences shaping the educational and scientific policies. The book is a welcome addition to the growing, but still relatively small collection of monographs on South Asian educational institutions. It will hopefully encourage other ventures in the field, setting a high standard against which future projects will be measured. Margrit Pernau, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin

From the Asvamedha sacrifice to the mounted police, modernist paintings to medieval cavalry, oceanic trade to urban transport – horses have occupied a prominent position in almost every sphere of human history in South Asia. The Coveted Mount offers a holistic analysis of this compelling human–nonhuman relationship from prehistory to the twenty-first century. The chapters of this book unravel the role of the horse across modern art, religious belief, gift exchanges, colonial cities, military campaigns, astrological knowledge, veterinary sciences, and oceanic commerce. By interpreting a wide range of textual, visual, and material sources, the authors reveal South Asia’s historical connections with the wider world, including Central and West Asia, Africa, Europe, and China. Overall, this richly illustrated book shows how, when, and why the horse became the coveted mount of South Asian societies.

This Element explores the transnational dynamics of Italian fascism and its reception in the Nordic countries from the foundation of Mussolini’s Fasci di Combattimento (Combat Fasces) in 1919 to the onset of the Second World War. Although Italian fascism found fertile ground among far-right movements and organisations in the Nordics, reactions varied significantly across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The Element emphasises the ideological influence of the March on Rome and highlights how the Nordic far right drew inspiration from Mussolini’s regime while also adapting to local contexts. By examining the intricate connections between Nordic and Italian fascisms, this Element aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the complexities of fascism’s international appeal, illustrating how local political situations shaped the diverse expressions of fascism in the region and the interplay between fascist ideologies and anti-Bolshevism.

AGENTS OF INERTIA Business, Urban Crisis, and Economic Decline in Twentieth-Century Calcutta

Agents of Inertia

Gaurav C. Garg is Assistant Professor of History at Ashoka University.

Garg

In the first half of the twentieth century, Asia’s colonial trade, commerce, and enterprise pivoted on five cities—Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Calcutta, and Bombay. Today, among these, only Calcutta no longer plays a significant role in the Asian or global economy. Why? This book answers this question by investigating how Calcutta’s British and Indian businesses have engaged with the city’s infrastructural and economic challenges. It throws up a startling result: through the first seven decades of the twentieth century, Calcutta’s businesses, in contrast to their counterparts elsewhere, staunchly resisted several measures intended to update and improve the city’s infrastructure. It is this resistance, Agents of Inertia argues, that led to Calcutta’s postcolonial urban crisis and contributed to capital-flight and economic decline. One of the first full-length monographs on Calcutta’s postcolonial urban-economic decline, it shows how big businesses not only make but can also break a city’s fortunes.

The Silent Rebellion is a history of labour subjectivity formation at the site of education and the defiance of labouring subalterns who refused to see themselves solely as labouring bodies in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book focuses on the hitherto neglected social histories of nonelite education in industrial, technical, factory, and night schools. On the one hand, it examines how elites—encompassing colonial officials, employers, and dominant castes—integrated caste labour into their modern projects of industrial and technical education, thereby reproducing labouring conditions, subjectivities, and the caste social order. On the other, it reveals how labouring subalterns—artisans, factory workers, and service-industry workers—used education to rebel against their ‘pre-destined’ labouring fate. Focusing on their demands for colonial literary education, experiences of reading, and becoming teachers, clerks, and poets, the book develops new analytical frameworks for writing nonwork histories of working lives.

Literature and War Medicine

Colonial Senses

Literature and War Medicine argues for the centrality of armed conflict in cultural histories of health and medicine. The emerging field of health humanities has, in the main, not engaged substantively with the burgeoning signifying practices that thematize the many pathologies—physical, psychological, and social—engendered by war. Histories of military conflicts and their attendant medical advances have been and will continue to be written, but how can health humanists theorize injury, healing, and disablement by closely reading literary narratives that grapple with these historical moments? How can novels, memoirs, and short stories that represent war medicine—and sustained attention to their formal properties—provide an alternative avenue for bioethical and biopolitical inquiry? Literature and War Medicine appraises contemporary literature representing medicine, illness, and disability amidst the colonial wars of the nineteenth century, WWI, WWII, postcolonial civil wars in Asia and Africa, the Global War on Terror, and the occupation of Palestine.

Trash to Treasure

After Anzac

Emotional Labor

PODGORNY

Cover image: Janon Stock/Shutterstock

This Element explores how waste and food leftovers were transformed into evidence of the natural and human past, valuable collector’s items, and museum specimens. In the nineteenth century, rubbish pits became repositories of new sources for studying the non-written past. This Element connects the history of nineteenth-century waste with prehistoric archaeology, the reutilization of refuse and the excavation of ancient rubbish dumps. Waste and trash are not trans-historic categories. Here, “waste” refers to a broad range of results of human activity: from deliberately constructed rubbish tips for unwanted items, to less organized discards in lake dwellings and peat bogs, and large-scale management of urban waste that reshaped landscapes. Recycling did not begin in the nineteenth century, but new considerations about reuse and the growing scale of waste disposal provided paleontologists and archaeologists with fresh lines of enquiry and a framework for addressing the problem of modern extinctions.

Histories of Emotions and the Senses

Emotional Labor

About the Series Born of the emotional and sensory “turns”, Elements in Histories of Emotions and the Senses move one of the fastestgrowing interdisciplinary fields forward. The series is aimed at scholars across the humanities, social sciences, and life sciences, embracing insights from a diverse range of disciplines, from neuroscience to art history and economics. Chronologically and regionally broad, encompassing global, transnational, and deep history, it concerns such topics as affect theory, intersensoriality, embodiment, human– animal relations, and distributed cognition. The founding editor of the series was Jan Plamper.

COTTINGHAM

In postindustrial economies, service-based jobs now outnumber manufacturing jobs. Analyzing these changes critically, Arlie Hochschild developed the term “emotional labor” to refer to the new forms of labor expected in the service sector. She saw the emotional constraints that commercial interests place on workers as part of capitalism’s increasing encroachment on our bodies, minds, and hearts. Since her original research, there has been an explosion of interest in studying emotional labor in all manner of jobs and social roles. Empirical studies have explored the connections between emotional labor and job outcomes, as well as the relationship to social class, gender, and race. The term has struck a nerve not only with work scholars, but the public more broadly. This Element traces the term’s origin, scholarly development, popular uses, and future possibilities.

The Social Functions of Tradition

About the Series How do we express our common humanity in ways that articulate the things that connect us while also acknowledging our differences? And how might we address the matter of being human, in an increasingly challenging global context, via the humanities disciplines? These and other key questions are variously explored here.

This Element introduces the concept of legacy-making: future-oriented actions and ideation concerning the material and environmental effects that humans leave behind with reference to their eventual demise. Interviews conducted in Italy, Sweden, South Korea, and the United States are drawn upon to illuminate material-environmental relationalities and entanglements constructed through everyday legacymaking practices. Material and environmental legacies are made by people within the small worlds of their environments and kinship structures, yet they are also connected to the small world of shared global practices and processes that engender the biggest challenges of our time: socio-economic inequalities, environmental degradation, and climate change.

This is the first comprehensive analysis of Southeast Asian globalization and development since 1870. Interpreting over 150 years of Southeast Asian economic history, Gregg Huff traces the impact of a first period of globalization from the 1870s to 1929, the effects of Japanese occupation during World War II and its aftermath, and a second wave of globalization since the late 1960s. He uses vent-for-surplus, dual economy and plural society concepts and argues that the response of those in Southeast Asia to periods of transport revolutions, innovation and opportunity in the world economy translated into rapid export-led growth. Recent swift growth enabled Southeast Asia to start to ‘catch up’ with the world’s leading countries for the first time in its history. Achievements include industrialization, genuine social progress and numerous large urban regions. Nevertheless, the book contends that Southeast Asian development in its ‘miracle economies’ remains incomplete.

Medicine, Psychotherapy and the Poetic Imagination

Daoism and Non-Action (Wuwei) in Europe

BLEAKLEY

The clinical encounter is typically divided into medical interventions for body/brain and psychotherapeutic interventions for mind/emotions. In recent years, medical and psychotherapy education have undergone radical pedagogic (negative) transformations – justified on economic grounds. These have resulted in the adoption of a reductive instrumental values focus at the expense of education of deeper values: the historical, ethical, aesthetic, political and transcendental (meanings). Observable competences displace assessment of potential as capabilities, where education into professional identity through innovative curriculum design has been reduced to a set of syllabi producing technicians. In turn, this promotes a focus on managed curriculum content over emergent processes. Transformation in professional education is imperative, where innovative production of metaphor is seen to challenge a dominant reductive literalism. Poetry, embedded within a wider poetic imagination, provides the necessary medium through which multiple values-based medicine and psychotherapy of quality may be restored.

CHEN

The study of differential equations on graphs emerged about 15 years ago as a way of providing a framework for the mathematical analysis of images. Since then it has burgeoned and has expanded more broadly to encompass image processing and, more recently, machine learning. The authors have provided a bird’s-eye view of both theoretical developments and concrete applications that will enable newcomers to quickly get a flavour of key results. Additionally, they provide an exhaustive, at the time of writing, bibliography which will point readers to where fuller details and other directions can be explored.

Computer science / Physics and astronomy PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY

It is often said that it is not possible to really understand quantum mechanics. This might be true, but with enough effort it is certainly possible to learn to master its machinery and use it to explain physical phenomena and develop new technology. Professor Pranawa Deshmukh writes in this book: “Quantum theory may shock and confuse us, but it is a successful theory of the physical world. It is cast in a mathematical framework which must be learned with patience and rigour.” From the foreword by Eva Lindroth Department of Physics, Stockholm University, Sweden

This textbook on quantum mechanics (QM) follows a well-received CUP edition of Foundations of Classical Mechanics by the same author. While numerous texts on QM exist, the present book brings a fresh perspective given by a practicing atomic physics theorist with a wide range of research interests. The book is built from the historical background of QM up to the most recent applications including quantum information and computation. In this historical journey, the key milestones of QM are marked, including the hydrogen atom, Feynman path integrals, light-matter interaction, and scattering of atomic particles. A loving attention to detail and meticulous derivations make this book a pleasant and useful read that will benefit both the students and practicing researchers. Anatoli Kheifets Research School of Physics, The Australian National University, Australia

Quantum Mechanics Formalism, Methodologies, and Applications

Deshmukh

Professor Deshmukh is well placed to author this text, as he has extensive teaching experience in both classical and quantum mechanics. Throughout the book, the author consistently communicates his own excitement and wonder at quantum mechanics as a fundamental description of nature. Following his previous book, Foundations of Classical Mechanics, he elucidates the challenges and achievements of quantum theory. The early chapters introduce the basics of quantum theory and introduce the reader to non-relativistic and relativistic versions. The later chapters tackle interesting applications ranging from one-electron and many-electron atoms, to quantum collisions and up-to-date topics such as quantum information (entanglement) and computing. His inclusion of very detailed derivations accompanied by insightful physical explanations makes the book very suitable for self-study or as a graduate text. Eugene Kennedy School of Physical Sciences, Dublin City University, Ireland

Formalism, Methodologies, and Applications

Quantum Mechanics by Professor Deshmukh is a didactic book about basic quantum mechanics, with the classical topics often illustrated by contemporary applications, punctuated with gems stemming from the author’s research activity in atomic physics as well as fundamental problems. As an example, after a detailed presentation of the Feynman’s path integral formulation, a thorough discussion is given of geometrical phases, the Aharonov–Bohm effect including a numerical simulation and the connection with classical mechanics illustrated via a Foucault pendulum. Even for the quantum well a new approach via the Lambert W function is presented. Atomic structure and processes are more detailed than usual, including discussion of continuum states, dynamical symmetries, and relativistic aspects. The style is leisurely, not overly formal, and you feel the teacher guiding you behind the shoulder, not shying from occasional longer derivations, but always with enough details to make for smooth sailing. A solid first approach for all students, especially recommended for further study in the quantum theory of matter and allied sciences. Piero Decleva Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche, Universita’ di Trieste, Italy

Quantum Mechanics

Pranawa, a well-known atomic physicist and a great teacher of quantum mechanics over decades, offers an excursion into the quantum world. He shares anecdotes, questions, solved problems, and insights in a non-traditional fashion. One gets a glimpse of quantum complexities. In excursions, some preparation and learning a little bit about the places of visit helps enormously. Similarly, a familiarity with quantum mechanics will help the students to appreciate the difficult subject presented in the book. I learned Feynman’s path integral method somewhat late. It made lot of sense and helped my research. Pranawa’s book, thankfully, introduces path integral method early in the beginning. His book is a Lego box with precious pieces. Students and teachers can build their own quantum world using the pieces. There is a lot to be gained from this book for hard-working students. G.

Public Engagement with Science

The Edge of Purpose

About the Series This interdisciplinary series draws from a broad range of research and professional expertise to guide theory and practice of public engagement with science, including science communication, formal and informal science education, community participation in scientific research, science policy, and other interfaces between science and the public.

From the Microscale to Climate Second edition Ulrike Lohmann and Fabian Mahrt

DARLING

Solar geoengineering (SG) is a set of highly controversial emerging technologies proposed to address climate change by reflecting sunlight away from the planet to reduce temperatures. SG may reduce climate risks; however, it also presents novel risks, uncertainties, and challenges, necessitating broad and inclusive public engagement. This Element presents a briefing book and methods toolkit to build capacity for public engagement on SG. Part I of the Element explains the need to build capacity to enable public engagement on solar geoengineering and presents three methods for doing so: capacity building workshops, participatory Technology Assessment, and Deliberative Polling. Part II presents a briefing book that provides accessible, balanced, and evidence-based information on critical topics, including climate science, climate policy, SG science, SG governance and policy, and SG ethics and justice. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Transformative Governance for Complex Socio-Ecological Systems

Lai-Ha Chan and Pak K. Lee

Series Editors Frank Biermann Utrecht University Aarti Gupta Wageningen University Michael Mason London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

Africa is confronting a convergence of environmental and social pressures, including climate change, biodiversity loss, resource degradation, rapid urbanization, and growing demands on land and water systems. These challenges expose important limitations in governance approaches that rely on sectoral fragmentation, centralized decision-making, and narrowly technocratic solutions. At the same time, diverse governance practices emerging across the continent demonstrate how Indigenous knowledge systems, local institutions, scientific expertise, and digital technologies can interact to support more adaptive responses to socio-ecological change. This Element examines the potential of transformative governance as an approach to navigating complexity, uncertainty, and interdependence in African socio-ecological systems.

Transition Imaginaries

Who Governs Deep-Sea Mining?

DILLET AND HATZISAVVIDOU

The idea that the world needs to transition to a more sustainable future is omnipresent in environmental politics and policy today. Focusing on the energy transition as a solution to the ecological crisis represents a shift in environmental political thought and action. This Element employs a political theory approach and draws on empirical developments to explore this shift by probing the temporal, affective, and technological dimensions of transition politics. Mobilising the framework of ecopolitical imaginaries, it maps five transition imaginaries and sketches a counter-hegemonic, decolonial transition that integrates decolonial approaches to knowledge and technology. Transition Imaginaries offers a nuanced exploration of the ways in which transition politics unfolds, and a novel argument on the importance of attending to the coloniality of transition politics. A transition to just sustainable futures requires the mobilisation of post-extractivist visions, knowledges, and technologies. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
