Hindu devotional traditions have long been recognized for their sacred geographies as well as the sensuous aspects of their devotees' experiences. Largely overlooked, however, are the subtle links between these religious expressions. Based on intensive fieldwork conducted among worshippers in Bengal's Navadvip Mayapur sacred complex, this book discusses the diverse and contrasting ways in which Bengal Vaishnava devotees experience sacred geography and divinity. Sukanya Sarbadhikary documents an extensive range of practices, which draw on the interactions of mind, body, and viscera. She shows how perspectives on religion, embodiment, affect, and space are enriched when sacred spatialities of internal and external forms are studied at once. "Sophisticated in areas of theory, The Place of Devotion teases out the subtle nuances of affect for four groups within the Gaudiya Vaishnava community, demonstrating not only how they differ, but how the differently interiorized experiences become social practices that generate strong empathic continuities." -TONY K. STEWART, Gertrude Conaway Chair in Humanities, Vanderbilt University "With exemplary skill and sensitivity, Sarbadhikary vividly documents the complex mix of emotional, aesthetic, and erotic sensibilities engaged and cultivated at one of India's most celebrated Hindu holy places. The Place of Devotion is a must read for anyone interested in Hinduism, in India, and in the implications of profound religious experiences for the understanding of self in today's modern world." -SUSAN BAYLY, University of Cambridge "Sarbadhikary makes a crucial contribution to the current anthropology of Hinduism by showing the continued vibrancy of a feminine and ecstatic mode of religious experience that has refused to surrender to the masculinist thrust of modern religious reform." -PARTHA CHATTERJEE, Professor of Anthropology and South Asian Studies, Columbia University SUKANYA SARBADHIKARY is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Presidency University, Kolkata.

La stratégie économique actuelle de l'Allemagne n'est qu'une variante de la " désinflation compétitive " qu'en d'autres temps la France a mise en œuvre, avatar des stratégies non coopératives qui, depuis les premiers pas du processus d'unification monétaire européen, ont pesé, faute d'institutions communes ou de mécanismes de coordination adéquats, sur les performances économiques de l'UE. L'élargissement, qui a considérablement accru le nombre de membres et affaibli les instances de coordination risque de conforter ces tentations opportunistes des États membres. Elles prennent, au sein de l'Union monétaire, des formes nouvelles, parce que les instruments dont disposent les gouvernements nationaux ne sont plus les mêmes : aux " dévaluations compétitives ", désormais impossibles dans le cadre de l'Union monétaire, les gouvernements nationaux ont substitué d'autres moyens ; la concurrence fiscale, le dumping social, les politiques de modération salariale, etc., apparaissent comme des outils de " désinflation compétitive ", améliorant les coûts relatifs de production. Ainsi, la baisse des coûts relatifs allemands est désormais substantielle, en particulier par rapport à certaines économies du Sud de l'Europe. Mais notre analyse suggère que la stratégie allemande risque d'être moins efficace que les expériences similaires menées dans de " petites économies ouvertes ". Deux hypothèses permettent d'éclairer l'adoption, par l'Allemagne, d'une stratégie de désinflation compétitive. La première met l'accent sur les implications macroéconomiques et distributives d'un éventuel changement des modes de financement privé en Allemagne, notamment en matière d'évolution du rapport de forces entre salariés et détenteurs du capital, sous l'influence grandissante des marchés financiers. La seconde hypothèse concerne le régime de croissance de l'Allemagne et son mode d'insertion dans l'économie mondiale : l'Allemagne et les autres économies européennes peuvent-elles compter, grâce à leurs spécificités ou à des politiques bien conçues d'encouragement à l'innovation, sur des aspects " hors prix " de la compétitivité ?

Background:Evaluations are routinely conducted by government agencies and research organizations to assess the effectiveness of technology in criminal justice. Interdisciplinary research methods are salient to this effort. Technology evaluations are faced with a number of challenges including (1) the need to facilitate effective communication between social science researchers, technology specialists, and practitioners, (2) the need to better understand procedural and contextual aspects of a given technology, and (3) the need to generate findings that can be readily used for decision making and policy recommendations.Objectives:Process and outcome evaluations of technology can be enhanced by integrating concepts from human factors engineering and information processing. This systemic approach, which focuses on the interaction between humans, technology, and information, enables researchers to better assess how a given technology is used in practice.Subjects:Examples are drawn from complex technologies currently deployed within the criminal justice system where traditional evaluations have primarily focused on outcome metrics. Although this evidence-based approach has significant value, it is vulnerable to fully account for human and structural complexities that compose technology operations.Conclusions:Guiding principles for technology evaluations are described for identifying and defining key study metrics, facilitating communication within an interdisciplinary research team, and for understanding the interaction between users, technology, and information. The approach posited here can also enable researchers to better assess factors that may facilitate or degrade the operational impact of the technology and answer fundamental questions concerning whether the technology works as intended, at what level, and cost.

In his near-classic The Recording Angel (2005), Evan Eisenberg points out that the actual legacy of automata in the twentieth century was machines like the phonograph or gramophone. Since so many automata were used as music boxes and existed for entertainment purposes and for refined contemplation in a European context, it is no surprise that they would evolve as they did in America. This emphasizes something more interesting than their pedigree: that in the years between Joice Heth, the black slave woman that P.T. Barnum passed for an automata, and (Karel Capek's) R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), the play that would introduce the term "robot" into the English language, ventriloquism and masquerade become increasingly properties of technology. "Mimetically capacious machines" were beginning to define the difference between centuries and, in the United States, between cultural powers and social groups (Taussig 1992). Eisenberg is generally very aware of the relationships between African Americans and the history of sound recording, yet he maintains the common reading of Capek's robots as merely representing "alienated labor" or as figures of class struggle. But in a country still reeling from racial violence and where, unlike Europe, radical political assertion—of the kind that Capek was also alluding to—was strongly linked to racial politics, the play's vision of an extremely violent robot war depended on much more immediate concerns. Then of course there is Capek himself, consistently deploying race alongside all those other meanings that made the play as rich a work of literature as it would be an influential work of the genre of science fiction, which was only a few years from being formally named. Yet in the final two sentences of Eisenberg's passage the racial meanings intrude too far to be ignored. The slave haunting the master, turning on the master, becoming a master, and the master becoming a slave—clearly a great fear of proletarian revolt in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution. And these meanings are present in R.U.R. just as they are in Fritz Lang's film, Metropolis (1927). In the nineteenth century such an expectation was so strong in the American South that it became a crucial set of narrative tropes: the black rapist, the brutish automaton that sets fire to the plantation, racial revenge as the first gesture of freedom. Those two sentences prefigure the next chapter of the book, which charts in advance of Capek the notion that machines and humans need be figured in a master/slave dialectic. In this tradition the necessary conclusion to that dialectic is not synthesis—as will be the case in cybertheory or "cyborg feminism," topics of an even later chapter—but violence and supplantation. Capek was not the first to narrate the relationship between human beings and machines in racial terms, but his vision has proven to be the most influential. Interestingly, for Eisenberg the difference between phonograph and robot is arguably based on "soul" or something very like it.

"This book examines how renewed forms of artistic activism were developed in the wake of the neoliberal repression since the 1980s. The volume shows the diverse ways in which artists have sought to confront systemic crises around the globe, searching for new and enduring forms of building communities and reimagining the political horizon. The authors engage in a dialogue with these artistic efforts and their histories - in particular the earlier artistic activism that was developed during the civil rights era in the 1960s and 70s - providing valuable historical insight and new conceptual reflection on the future of aesthetic resilience. This book will be of interest to scholars in contemporary art, history of art, film and literary studies, protest movements, and social movements"--

Of the many challenges facing liberal democracy, none is as powerful and pervasive today as those posed by religion. These are the challenges taken up in Obligations of Citizenship and Demands of Faith, an exploration of the place of religion in contemporary public life. The essays in this volume suggest that two important shifts have altered the balance between the competing obligations of citizenship and faith: the growth of religious pluralism and the escalating calls of religious groups for some measure of autonomy or recognition from democratic majorities. The authors--political theorists, philosophers, legal scholars, and social scientists--collectively argue that more room should be made for religion in today's democratic societies. Though they advocate different ways of carving out and justifying the proper bounds of "church and state" in pluralist democracies, they all write from within democratic theory and share the aim of democratic accommodation of religion. Alert to national differences in political circumstances and the particularities of constitutional and legal systems, these contributors consider the question of religious accommodation from the standpoint of institutional practices and law as well as that of normative theory. Unique in its interdisciplinary approach and comparative focus, this volume makes a timely and much-needed intervention in current debates about religion and politics. The contributors are Nancy L. Rosenblum, Alan Wolfe, Ronald Thiemann, Michael McConnell, Graham Walker, Amy Gutmann, Kent Greenawalt, Aviam Soifer, Harry Hirsch, Gary Jacobsohn, Yael Tamir, Martha Nussbaum, and Carol Weisbrod

Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election exposed the nation's vulnerability to targeted campaign disruption by foreign intelligence actors through social media. The Russian cyber disinformation campaign exploited racial divisions in the United States to undermine public confidence in American electoral processes and institutions, revealing how those divisions can be weaponized. The campaign fed on racial divisions arising from institutionalized state practices that have a disparate discriminatory effect on racial minorities. Successful in their online interference in 2016, Russian operatives continued to stoke these divisions in the 2018 midterm election and have begun to do so in the 2020 presidential election campaign. Russia will continue to stir racial division in future elections, and other states may follow suit. To combat this threat, reframing the manner in which national security institutions address matters of race is necessary. This Article advocates that national security institutions adopt an explicit "racism as national security threat" framework in place of the implicit "minority race as threat" framework that has previously shaped national security institutions' behavior. It traces how a minority race as threat framework has historically guided national security institutional action in significant ways. Further, it elucidates how a racism as national security threat framework promotes American antidiscrimination law and international human rights law, and how the strategic retrenchment of policies, programs, and practices that engender racial discrimination will reduce American vulnerability to foreign exploitation. Ultimately, this Article seeks to popularize the understanding that racism subverts American national security, and frame the curtailment of institutionalized racism as a national security priority of the United States.
