Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

Jonathan Z. Smith (1938–2017) was unquestionably one of the most important and influential voices of critical reflection within the academic study of religion in the last century. His work explored the nature and history of religious phenomena across cultures—from ancient Jewish practices to Maori cults from early Christianity to mass suicide in the twentieth century—while critiquing the assumptions underlying the very category of religion. This important volume offers the first full critical assessment of the influence of Jonathan Z. Smith’s thought on the subject of religion. Christopher I. Lehrich systematically examines and develops a critical overview that will assist others in engaging more fully with Smith’s scholarship. This book is an essential reading for students and scholars interested in the work of Jonathan Z. Smith as well as the history of religion more broadly. | Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

The Waste Land

The Waste Land

In this study first published in 1983 Professor Smith makes the argument that although The Waste Land is analogous in form to a musical composition that it is actually made of its literary echoes. He calls these a ‘music of allusions’ and shows the resemblance of this music in its evocativeness to the technique of Mallarmé and the French symbolists. Smith also comments extensively on Eliot’s critical theories as they bear on The Waste Land and traces the development of Eliot’s allusive and transformational poetic form from its genesis in early work. This title will be of interest to students of literature.

Adam Smith and The Wealth of Nations in Spain A History of Reception Dissemination Adaptation and Application 1777–1840

Adam Smith and The Wealth of Nations in Spain A History of Reception Dissemination Adaptation and Application 1777–1840

Adam Smith’s An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was the product of the rich tradition of the Scottish Enlightenment but the book’s fame immediately spread across the whole of Europe. This book looks at the long journey of Smith’s ideas from Scotland to peninsular Spain reconstructing in detail the reception adaptation interpretation and application of Smith's central concepts from 1777 up to 1840. In light of methodological advances during the last two decades in the history of economic thought and the studies on the late Spanish Enlightenment and early Liberalism the book tackles a series of significant issues and gaps in the historiography. In particular: this book sheds new light on the role of France as an intermediate step as the ideas spread from Britain southwards; the analysis draws not just on translations but also handwritten materials book reviews syntheses summaries plagiarism and rebuttals; a wide range of methods of dissemination are considered including the printing press and periodicals parliamentary debates academic chairs and societies; the role of individual translators and agents is given due prominence; the political interpretations of the Wealth of Nations and the ways in which the book was incorporated into the work of Spanish economists in the decades following publication are also considered. This book marks a significant contribution to the literature on the reception of Smith’s Wealth of Nations studies of the Spanish Enlightenment and history of economic thought more broadly. | Adam Smith and The Wealth of Nations in Spain A History of Reception Dissemination Adaptation and Application 1777–1840

Explorations in Urban Theory

Explorations in Urban Theory

For over three decades urban theorist Michael Peter Smith has engaged in constructing innovative theories on central research questions in urban studies. This book brings together his views on the state of urban theory sorting out the changing strengths and weaknesses in the field. Smith refocuses attention on the cultural social and political practices of urban inhabitants particularly the way in which their everyday activities have contributed to the social construction of new ethnic identities and new meanings of urban citizenship. Combining the methods of political economy and transnational ethnography he encourages us to think about new political spaces for practicing urban citizenship by analyzing the connections linking cities to the web of relations to other localities in which they are embedded. Smith systematically analyzes the dynamics of community power and urban change under new globalizing trends and increased transnational mobility. Expanding on his original conceptualization of transnational urbanism he frames urban political life within a wider transnational context of political practice in which an endless interplay of distinctly situated networks social practices and power relations are fought out at multiple scales in an inexorable politics of inclusion and exclusion. | Explorations in Urban Theory

The Artist-Philosopher and New Philosophy

The Artist-Philosopher and New Philosophy

In The Artist-Philosopher and New Philosophy Smith argues that Western Metaphysics has indeed come to what Heidegger describes as “an end. ” That is hardly to say philosophy as such is over or soon to disappear; rather its purpose as a medium of cultural change and as a generator of history has run its course. He thus calls for a New Philosophy conceptualized by the artist-philosopher who “makes” or “poeticizes” New Philosophy spanning literary and theoretical discourses and operating across art in all its forms and across culture in all its locations. To this end Smith proposes the establishment of schools and social networks that advance the training and development of artist-philosophers as well as global digital networks that are themselves designed toward this “ever-becoming community. ”

Classical Liberalism and the Industrial Working Class The Economic Thought of Thomas Hodgskin

Classical Liberalism and the Industrial Working Class The Economic Thought of Thomas Hodgskin

Thomas Hodgskin (1787–1869) is today a largely unknown figure sometimes considered to be a forerunner of Karl Marx. Yet a closer look at Hodgskin’s works reveals that he was actually a committed advocate of laissez-faire economics and enthusiastic about labor-saving machinery and the Industrial Revolution with a genuine interest in the well-being of the working classes. This book places him in the tradition of classical liberalism where he belongs—as a disciple of Adam Smith but even less tolerant of government power than Smith was.

Transformations of Electricity in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Science

Transformations of Electricity in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Science

Throughout the nineteenth century practitioners of science writers of fiction and journalists wrote about electricity in ways that defied epistemological and disciplinary boundaries. Revealing electricity as a site for intense and imaginative Victorian speculation Stella Pratt-Smith traces the synthesis of nineteenth-century electricity made possible by the powerful combination of science literature and the popular imagination. With electricity resisting clear description even by those such as Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell who knew it best Pratt-Smith argues that electricity was both metaphorically suggestive and open to imaginative speculation. Her book engages with Victorian scientific texts popular and specialist periodicals and the work of leading midcentury novelists including Charles Dickens Charlotte Bronte Emily Bronte William Makepeace Thackeray and Wilkie Collins. Examining the work of William Harrison Ainsworth and Edward Bulwer-Lytton Pratt-Smith explores how Victorian novelists attributed magical qualities to electricity imbuing it with both the romance of the past and the thrill of the future. She concludes with a case study of Benjamin Lumley’s Another World which presents an enticing fantasy of electricity’s potential based on contemporary developments. Ultimately her book contends that writing and reading about electricity appropriated and expanded its imaginative scope transformed its factual origins and applications and contravened the bounds of literary genres and disciplinary constraints. | Transformations of Electricity in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Science

Emotional Heritage Visitor Engagement at Museums and Heritage Sites

Emotional Heritage Visitor Engagement at Museums and Heritage Sites

Emotional Heritage brings the issues of affect and power in the theorisation of heritage to the fore whilst also highlighting the affective and political consequences of heritage-making. Drawing on interviews with visitors to museums and heritage sites in the United States Australia and England Smith argues that obtaining insights into how visitors use such sites enables us to understand the impact and consequences of professional heritage and museological practices. The concept of registers of engagement is introduced to assess variations in how visitors use museums and sites that address national or dissonant histories and the political consequences of their use. Visitors are revealed as agents in the roles cultural institutions play in maintaining or challenging the political and social status quo. Heritage is Smith argues about people and their social situatedness and the meaning they alongside or in concert with cultural institutions make and mobilise to help them address social problems and expressions of identity and sense of place in and for the present. Academics students and practitioners interested in theories of power and affect in museums and heritage sites will find Emotional Heritage to be an invaluable resource. Helping professionals to understand the potential impact of their practice the book also provides insights into the role visitors play in the interplay between heritage and politics. | Emotional Heritage Visitor Engagement at Museums and Heritage Sites

Gender Speech and Audience Reception in Early Modern England

Gender Speech and Audience Reception in Early Modern England

This book makes a significant contribution to recent scholarship on the ways in which women responded to the regulation of their behavior by focusing on representations of women speakers and their audiences in moments Smith identifies as scenes of speech. This new approach examining speech exchanges between a speaker and audience in which both anticipate interact with and respond to each other and each other's expectations demonstrates that the prescriptive process involves a dynamic exchange in which each side plays a role in establishing and contesting the boundaries of acceptable speech for women. Drawing from a wide range of evidence including pamphlets diaries illustrations and plays the book interprets the various and at times contradictory representations and reception of women’s speech that circulated in early modern England. Speech scenes examined within include wives' speech to their husbands in private private speech between women public speech before death and the speech of witches. Looking at scenes of women’s speech from male and female authors Smith argues that these early modern texts illustrate a means through which societal regulations were negotiated and modified. This book will appeal to those with an interest in early modern drama including the playwrights Shakespeare Cary Webster Fletcher and Middleton as well as readers of non-dramatic early modern literary texts. The volume is of particular use for scholars working in the areas of early modern literature and culture women’s history gender studies and performance studies. | Gender Speech and Audience Reception in Early Modern England

Capitalism and its Critics Capitalism in Social and Political Theory

Capitalism and its Critics Capitalism in Social and Political Theory

Capitalism and its Critics offers an accessible account of major theories of capitalism from the industrial revolution to the present day. The book provides a comprehensive account of the economic and social thought of key theorists from Adam Smith and Karl Marx to David Harvey and Thomas Piketty. Capitalism has long been the subject of passionate debate and today such contestations are perhaps more timely than ever. For its advocates capitalism brings democracy and freedom and is the cornerstone of modernity and of progress. For its critics capitalism is based on the exploitation of labour and is responsible for the destruction of the environment as well as colonialism. Whether capitalism survives the century or whether an alternative social system emerges may very well determine the fate of humanity. Capitalism and its Critics gives a comprehensive critical analysis of the most important theorists of capitalism including Adam Smith Karl Marx Max Weber Joseph Schumpeter Karl Polanyi F. A. Hayek J. M. Keynes David Harvey and Thomas Piketty. The book discusses some of the main debates about capitalism and considers alternatives in the twenty-first century. The 12 chapters are loosely chronologically organised around the main approaches and historical phases in the history of capitalism. Central themes of the book are the ideas of capitalist crisis and of tensions between democracy and capitalism in the making of modernity. A highly readable informative and engaging text Capitalism and its Critics is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding capitalism and its alternatives. | Capitalism and its Critics Capitalism in Social and Political Theory

Why Machines Will Never Rule the World Artificial Intelligence without Fear

Why Machines Will Never Rule the World Artificial Intelligence without Fear

The book’s core argument is that an artificial intelligence that could equal or exceed human intelligence—sometimes called artificial general intelligence (AGI)—is for mathematical reasons impossible. It offers two specific reasons for this claim: Human intelligence is a capability of a complex dynamic system—the human brain and central nervous system. Systems of this sort cannot be modelled mathematically in a way that allows them to operate inside a computer. In supporting their claim the authors Jobst Landgrebe and Barry Smith marshal evidence from mathematics physics computer science philosophy linguistics and biology setting up their book around three central questions: What are the essential marks of human intelligence? What is it that researchers try to do when they attempt to achieve artificial intelligence (AI)? And why after more than 50 years are our most common interactions with AI for example with our bank’s computers still so unsatisfactory? Landgrebe and Smith show how a widespread fear about AI’s potential to bring about radical changes in the nature of human beings and in the human social order is founded on an error. There is still as they demonstrate in a final chapter a great deal that AI can achieve which will benefit humanity. But these benefits will be achieved without the aid of systems that are more powerful than humans which are as impossible as AI systems that are intrinsically evil or able to will a takeover of human society. | Why Machines Will Never Rule the World Artificial Intelligence without Fear

Humanity and Nature in Economic Thought Searching for the Organic Origins of the Economy

Humanity and Nature in Economic Thought: Searching for the Organic Origins of the Economy argues that organic elements seen as incompatible with rational homo economicus have been left out of or downplayed in mainstream histories of economic thought. The chapters show that organic aspects (that is aspects related to sensitive cognitive or social human qualities) were present in the economic ideas of a wide range of important thinkers including Hume Smith Malthus Mill Marshall Keynes Hayek and the Polanyi brothers. Moreover the contributors to this thought-provoking volume reveal in turn that these aspects were crucial to how these key figures thought about the economy.

Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Released in 1952 the Anthology of American Folk Music was the singular vision of the enigmatic artist musicologist and collector Harry Smith (1923–1991). A collection of eighty-four commercial recordings of American vernacular and folk music originally issued between 1927 and 1932 the Anthology featured an eclectic and idiosyncratic mixture of blues and hillbilly songs ballads old and new dance music gospel and numerous other performances less easy to classify. Where previous collections of folk music both printed and recorded had privileged field recordings and oral transmission Smith purposefully shaped his collection from previously released commercial records pointedly blurring established racial boundaries in his selection and organisation of performances. Indeed more than just a ground-breaking collection of old recordings the Anthology was itself a kind of performance on the part of its creator. Over the six decades of its existence however it has continued to exert considerable influence on generations of musicians artists and writers. It has been credited with inspiring the North American folk revival—The Anthology was our bible asserted Dave Van Ronk in 1991 We all knew every word of every song on it—and with profoundly influencing Bob Dylan. After its 1997 release on CD by Smithsonian Folkways it came to be closely associated with the so-called Americana and Alt-Country movements of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Following its sixtieth birthday and now available as a digital download and rereleased on vinyl it is once again a prominent icon in numerous musical currents and popular culture more generally. This is the first book devoted to such a vital piece of the large and complex story of American music and its enduring value in American life. Reflecting the intrinsic interdisciplinarity of Smith’s original project this collection contains a variety of new perspectives on all aspects of the Anthology. | Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality Testing Religious Truth-claims

Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality Testing Religious Truth-claims

Philosophical naturalism is taken to be the preferred and reigning epistemology and metaphysics that underwrites many ideas and knowledge claims. But what if we cannot know reality on that basis? What if the institution of science is threatened by its reliance on naturalism? R. Scott Smith argues in a fresh way that we cannot know reality on the basis of naturalism. Moreover the fact-value split has failed to serve our interests of wanting to know reality. The author provocatively argues that since we can know reality it must be due to a non-naturalistic ontology best explained by the fact that human knowers are made and designed by God. The book offers fresh implications for the testing of religious truth-claims science ethics education and public policy. Consequently naturalism and the fact-value split are shown to be false and Christian theism is shown to be true. | Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality Testing Religious Truth-claims
