Magna Carta

Magna Carta

This new history is the first to tell the story of Magna Carta ‘through the ages’. No other general work traces its continuing importance in England’s political consciousness. Many books have examined the circumstances surrounding King John’s grant of Magna Carta in 1215. Very few trace the Charter’s legacy to subsequent centuries and even fewer look at the fate of the physical document. Turner also underlines its great influence outside the United Kingdom especially in North America. Today the Charter enjoys greater prestige in the United States the land of lawyers than in Britain. U. S. citizens claim Magna Carta as a source of their liberties guaranteeing ‘due process of law’ and condemning ‘executive privilege’.

Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

Based on a fresh reading of primary sources Lindy Grant's comprehensive biography of Abbot Suger (1081-1151) provides a reassessment of a key figure of the twelfth century. Active in secular and religious affairs alike - Suger was Regent of France and also abbot of one of the most important abbeys in Europe during the time of the Gregorian reforms. But he is primarily remembered as a great artistic patron whose commissions included buildings in the new Gothic style. Lindy Grant reviews him in all these roles - and offers a corrective to the current tendency to exaggerate his role as architect of both French royal power and the new gothic form. | Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives

South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives

In mid-March 1992 a group of forty scholars journalists strategists and government officials met in Kathmandu Nepal to assess the post-Cold War world. The meeting marked both a summing up and a beginning. Many of the conference participants had been associated at one time or another with the Program in Arms Control Disarmament and International Security (A CD IS) at the University of lllinois at Urbana-Champaign. Founded in 1978 ACDIS had from its very first year recruited scholars from South Asia (and scholars working on South Asia). Much of this work was supported by a continuing grant from the Ford Foundation (which also contributed major support for the Kathmandu meeting) but lllinois was also home for a number of Fulbright and Asia Foundation grantees. 1 The meeting in Kathmandu provided an opportunity for these individuals to again meet with each other and with faculty and staff associated with ACDIS. | South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives

Theory and Experiment in Syntax

Theory and Experiment in Syntax

This book reflects on key questions of enduring interest on the nature of syntax bringing together Grant Goodall’s previous publications and new work exploring how syntactic representations are structured and the affordances of experimental techniques in studying them. The volume sheds light on central issues in the theory of syntax while also elucidating the methods of data collection which inform them. Featuring Goodall’s previous studies of linguistic phenomena in English Spanish and Chinese and complemented by a new introduction and material specific to this volume the book is divided into four sections around fundamental strands of syntactic theory. The four parts explore the dimensionality of syntactic representations; the relationship between syntactic structure and predicate-argument structure; interactions between subjects and wh-phrases in questions; and more detailed investigations of wh-dependencies but from a more overtly experimental perspective. Taken together the volume reinforces the connections between these different aspects of syntax by highlighting their respective roles in defining what syntactic objects look like and how the grammar operates on them. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars in linguistics particularly those with an interest in syntax psycholinguistics and Romance linguistics. | Theory and Experiment in Syntax

Translations of Responsibility Innovation Governance in Three European Regions

Translations of Responsibility Innovation Governance in Three European Regions

In 2020 a group of European researchers got a European Union (EU) grant to do a project called TRANSFORM. The objective of TRANSFORM was to integrate the principle of responsible research and innovation (RRI) into the research and innovation policies of three European regions: Lombardy Brussels and Catalonia. This book tells the story of how TRANSFORM translated RRI into practice all the way from philosophy of technology to EU policy jargon to the project contract and finally into the real-life events in these regions. Responsibility was translated in creative ways with surprising goals and ambiguous outcomes. Armed with these stories the book analyses the broader context of the desire for better governance of technoscience and draws two lessons: Firstly that there is more governance than one may see at first sight and secondly that there is a need to rethink the borders of technoscience and the spaces in which it resides. The book proposes to think of governance in technoscience rather than governance of technoscience.

Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

In 1749 Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Arts and Sciences surprised leading Enlightenment thinkers who had enthusiastically upheld the positive benefits of humanity's technological advance. Voltaire who celebrated the ends of civilization mocked Rousseau's praise for an original creative state of nature in which man enjoyed an optimum level of freedom. Given the unprecedented intrusion of technology into our lives the question raised by Rousseau's critique may be even more pertinent. In this volume of Religion and Public Life contributors address some of the challenges to conventional morality brought on by the technological augmentation of the social structure. John Barker's essay explores how Luciano Floridi's philosophy of technology has complicated the conventional way of determining what ought to receive moral consideration. Fani Zlatarova provides a practical guide for incorporating ethical components into teaching computer technology. Grant Havers explores the controversies surrounding the biogenetic explosion through an examination of the competing philosophical perspectives and Christopher Vassilopolos examines the science-based justification for taking life. Gabriel R. Ricci looks at recent political history in the United States in order to highlight the sometimes uneasy relationship between science and social policy. Volume 37 is a welcome addition to the acclaimed Religion and Public Life series. | Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

Identity Community and Sexuality in Slash Fan Fiction Pocket Publics

Identity Community and Sexuality in Slash Fan Fiction Pocket Publics

This book explores slash fan fiction communities during the pivotal years of the late 1990s and early 2000s as the practice transitioned from print to digital circulation. Delving into over ten years of online and in-person ethnography the book offers an in-depth examination of slash fan fiction – original stories written by and circulated within female-centered communities about same-sex characters borrowed from previously published sources – to document the history of a feminist queer media subculture whose infrastructure creativity and ways of life are often obscured in dominant histories of the internet’s development and by the contemporary focus on industry-friendly but often misogynist digital fan subcultures. Arguing that online slash communities created an alternate public space that provided opportunities for unanticipated encounters with a wide range of complex sexual relational and political practices the book contends that slash thereby added to readers’ tools for experiencing and thinking about pleasure and ways of living by forming a “pocket public ” that is a digital space public enough to be found and protected enough to shield participants from harassment and censorship. This insightful and comprehensive study will interest students and scholars working in the areas of media studies literary studies anthropology new media audience communities convergence culture fan studies women’s studies and queer studies.

F.D. Ascoli Early Revenue History of Bengal and The Fifth Report 1812

F.D. Ascoli Early Revenue History of Bengal and The Fifth Report 1812

Early Revenue History of Bengal and the Fifth Report 1812 was the outcome of a series of four lectures delivered at the Dacca College by the distinguished Bengali civil servant F. D. Ascoli. It embodies the text of the Fifth Report on the affairs of the East India Company by the Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed with a view to form the charter of 1813 and also careful and detailed summary of the discussions that led up to Lord Cornwallis's Permanent Revenue Settlement of Bengal (including Behar). The condensed arguments of Mr. James Grant Sir John Shore and Lord Cornwallis on the subject of the Permanent Settlement enable us to see the objectives desired for in the Permanent Revenue Settlement. The book also affords valuable glimpses on the methods adopted for carrying out the settlement and working it successfully in the early days when the zamindars themselves did not look upon it as a boon and the sale of estates for arrears were frequent. Ascoli's excellent and dispassionate account of the Company’s difficulties and the unsuccessful remedies that were from time to time applied to meet them disposes of pet theories that are sometimes advanced with regard to the Permanent Settlement. Mr. Ascoli's masterly analysis and partial text of the Fifth Report from the Select Committee 1812 will be of material assistance to students of revenue history in Bengal and of Colonial India generally.

As an increasing group of benefactors of human activity they create demand for products and experiences. The system of goods and services that aims to leverage their purchasing potential and satisfy their consumption needs including living health tourism cultural information and communication needs has been referred to as the so-called Silver Economy. The book reviews the phenomenon of ageing of the EU’s population over 50. It also presents a multidimensional view of the potential for the development of this group’s economic social medical family personal and technological demand in the early 21st century.
