The poignant Epilogue, titled “1991,” depicts the dissolution of Yugoslavia as a functional federal state and the violence at the start of the interrepublic war. With the collapse of the political state, all artistic activities in Yugoslavia, and especially Serbia, once a major attraction for experimental musicians and artists from East and West, came to a complete halt. With the brutality of the war, the ensuing mass exodus (brain drain) of artists, students, and harsh economic sanctions imposed against Serbia, the once-fertile Yugoslav avant-garde music scene never managed to recapture its artistic and experimental glory days of the Cold War era.

In late 1914 Lawrence wrote ‘Study of Thomas Hardy’, a set of pseudo-philosophical essays. He performs soaring, sage-like meditations on individuality and its impediments: the state, work and money. As art history and Hardy’s novels start to provide resistants to Lawrence’s psychological projections of body and spirit, and of male and female, a freshness and fertility of invention provoke scintillating accounts, almost rewritings, of Hardy’s Jude the Obscure and Tess of the d’Urbervilles and the projection of a grand historiography of Europe, with Renaissance art as its pivot point. Empowered by Nietzsche’s daring example, this intellectual experiment is performed on the page without benefit of the truth-restraints of professional criticism. The Rainbow, a novel whose final version he would bring to completion only a few months later, benefited from Lawrence’s new, overweening confidence in rendering the subconscious. His inhabiting of emotions-on-the-page was now intimate and unbounded. Yet the three-generational family-saga form that Lawrence expanded in the final version could not readily accommodate the resulting extremes of emotion within a synthesising intellectual structure.

The field of anthropology provides an approach that focuses on interaction (the anthropology of interaction) by incorporating communication studies and conversational analysis commonly used in linguistic anthropology. However, because previous studies have focused mainly on how conversations are temporally organised, there is still insufficient research on how broader forms of interaction, including gestures, are organised to use resources distributed in the environment. The chapter presents an interactional analysis of how deictic gestures and demonstratives manage the attention of interactional participants during the wayfinding practices in the bush among the G|ui/Gǁana, a hunter-gatherer and Indigenous people of the Kalahari Desert. Furthermore, through such attention management, the chapter discusses the process by which the G|ui/Gǁana engage with their environment by involving people from different socio-cultural backgrounds into their culturally distinctive social situations.

Starting in the late 1820s, African American poets began to write in concert with the abolition movement, and their work began to appear in anti-slavery periodicals. In these efforts, they translated the aesthetic theories of European Romanticism, and imagined Black consciousness beyond the confines of slavery and racism. Especially in the two decades before the Civil War, poets such as George Moses Horton, Ann Plato, Joseph Cephas Holly, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper undertook a wildly various range of formal experiments in the service of ending slavery and reconstructing Black cultural life. This chapter undertakes a survey of a number of the antebellum period’s Black poets, with the idea of thinking through the prophetic scope of their claims on history. It argues that in taking this posture, the Black Romantic poets anticipated more recent claims about the long-durational character of the Black radical tradition.

This chapter analyzes upcycling from the perspective of copyright infringement. Upcycling should be encouraged, especially as it makes recycling an attractive and exciting option for consumers. IP rights (IPRs) can however be seen as a barrier for such utilization of raw material. This is because traditional IP doctrines do not fully recognize these kinds of interests, despite sustainability’s fundamental relevance in society and in the Treaty of the Functioning of the EU. The chapter develops a new doctrinal standpoint to consider copyright infringements in these specific cases as a part of introducing a more general ‘sustainable lifespan’ principle in IPRs regulation.

This chapter recounts the state I had reached by the end of the radiation treatment.

In war we see xenophobic hate, resentment, and violence-triggering anger, coupled with in-group solidarity, love, and altruistic sacrifice. This combination is mirrored in the opponent society. This structure recurs so often that there is an unfortunate tendency to naturalize it as adaptations produced by an ancestral environment characterized by widespread, intense, and frequent war. From this point of view, we are bellicose because our most successful ancestors were; our emotional structure comes from the fact that we are descendants of victors in battle. I don’t agree with this interpretation, which I will call the bellicose adaptationist story. I will sketch an alternative evolutionary story from ongoing anthropological controversies. I don’t deny that humans are violent, but I will try to show that a coherent story can be told in which war qua anonymous inter-group violence was not universal in human history and so could not serve as the selection pressure for altruism. After clearing the ground in this manner, to account for a non-war-based altruism I describe the hypotheses of collective breeding and collaborative foraging put forth by Sarah Hrdy and by Michael Tomasello.
