Re-Reading Beccaria - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Re-Reading Beccaria - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cesare Beccaria’s slim 1764 volume On Crimes and Punishments influenced policy developments worldwide and over decades, if not centuries, after its publication. For those who turn to Beccaria’s work today, the encounter is shaped by that knowledge.Appreciative of On Crimes and Punishment s'' dual nature as historical document and repository of ideas, the contributions in this collection address different aspects of the criminal justice theory Beccaria offered his readers and face up to methodological questions raised by meeting a historical text of this kind – unsystematic and by modern standards often under-argued – with modern scholarly conventions in mind.Contributions in the first part of the book engage with Beccaria’s political theory of criminal justice through the lenses of political and penal philosophy, considering how Beccaria’s blending of social-contractarian foundations and proto-utilitarian policy analysis interlinks with the concrete set of criminal justice practices Beccaria presents as justified.This leads on to the second part where contributors approach Beccaria’s ideas with present-day reforms and developments in mind. Many of his policy proposals and arguments remain significant from our contemporary perspective, their limitations and omissions proving as instructive for the contemporary scholar as their more prescient elements.The third part offers those looking at Beccaria’s work today a glimpse into the practical difficulties facing the firebrand author turned public servant during his long career in the Habsburg-Lombardian administration. It puts his work into the broader context of pathways to criminal justice reform in northern Italy, Habsburgian Lombardy, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Beccaria’s day.

Taylor Swift and the Philosophy of Re-recording - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Taylor Swift and the Philosophy of Re-recording - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A lively and thorough exploration of the aesthetic, metaphysical, ethical, political, and legal implications of Taylor Swift’s ongoing project of re-recording her first six studio albums. When Taylor Swift’s record label was sold in 2019, the six studio albums she recorded for them came under the control of a person with whom she has had years of bad blood: Kanye West’s former manager Scooter Braun. But rather than move on, Swift chose to take the unprecedented step of re-recording duplicate versions of those albums. With all of the profits made from selling, streaming, and licensing these “Taylor’s Versions” going directly to Swift, she could deprive Braun of potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. The gambit has already paid off. The first two Taylor’s Versions (of Fearless and Red ) debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard charts and have sold over one million copies so far; and four more are still on the way.In this book, ten philosophers, a music producer and a composer/music technologist explore the philosophical richness of Swift’s project and the questions it raises: Are Swift''s re-recordings new works of art or mere copies of the originals? Do the Taylor’s Versions of the songs have the same meanings as the original versions, or do they now mean something different? Is her re-recording project genuinely artistic or merely commercial? Is Swift standing up for artists’ rights or looking out for herself? Does the music industry exploit artists, and, if so, how should it be reformed?Together they show the philosophical dividends one of the most famous and acclaimed recording artists of her generation is capable of producing. For anyone interested in the complicated relationship between popular art and commerce this book is a must-read.

Historiography and Identity (Re)formulation in Second Temple Historiographical Literature - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Historiography and Identity (Re)formulation in Second Temple Historiographical Literature - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

It is commonly accepted in various disciplines and contexts that history writing often (if not always!) contribute to the process of identity (re)formation. Using the past in order to find a renewed identity in new (socio-political and socio-religious) circumstances, is something that we also witness in Hebrew Bible historiographies. The so-called Deuteronomistic History, as well as the works of Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah, are often read from the perspective of a community trying to find a new identity in changed circumstances. In the Historical Books section at the 2008 Auckland SBL International Meeting, this perspective was investigated further. The papers presented included theoretical reflections on the relationship between historiography and identity (re)formation, as well as illustrations from Hebrew Bible historiographies (of the Exilic and Second Temple periods). These papers, together with a few responses to the papers, are offered here to a wider scholarly audience.Contributors include Jon Berquist, Mark Brett, Louis Jonker, Mark Leuchter, Christine Mitchell, Klaas Spronk, Gerrie Snyman, Ray Person, Armin Siedlecki, and Jacob Wright.

Women Re-Creating Classics - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Women Re-Creating Classics - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In the last few years, there has been a major and unmissable surge in women’s retellings and re-creations of ancient myths and texts that has put women’s re-creations of Classics centre-stage. Drawing together an interdisciplinary range of creative and scholarly voices, this volume asks why classical creative retellings by women are so popular now—and considers what creativity can do to foster new ways of thinking and writing about Classics, thus blurring the boundary between the creative and the critical. Contributors engage with debates on how to make Classics more accessible through the medium of creative works, so that it is not just a discipline for the select few. This second volume in a two-volume set brings together original creative work by some of the many women writers who are pushing forward changes in the landscape of re-creating Classics, from Madeline Miller to Jennifer Saint, Emily Hauser, Caroline Lawrence, Roz Kaveney, Nikita Gill, Fiona Benson, Anne Carson and many more. These are set alongside discussions and interviews between writers and academics, roundtable conversations among poets and critics, and reflections on creative and inclusive pedagogy—thus offering a cutting-edge collaboration between practitioners and researchers, and underlining the centrality of women’s re-creations of Classics to the contemporary shaping of the field.
