discussion and empirical material drawn from both urban and rural
areas in Africa, Latin America, China, the USSR and Great Britain,

understanding of reality in dependent, less developed societies,

What does sound, whether preserved or lost, tell us about
nineteenth-century wartime? Hearing the Crimean War: Wartime Sound
and the Unmaking of Sense pursues this question through the many
territories affected by the Crimean War, including Britain, France,
Turkey, Russia, Italy, Poland, Latvia, Dagestan, Chechnya, and
Crimea. Examining the experience of listeners and the politics of
archiving sound, it reveals the close interplay between
nineteenth-century geographies of empire and the media through
which wartime sounds became audible-or failed to do so. The volume
explores the dynamics of sound both in violent encounters on the
battlefield and in the experience of listeners far-removed from
theaters of war, each essay interrogating the Crimean War's sonic
archive in order to address a broad set of issues in musicology,
ethnomusicology, literary studies, the history of the senses and
sound studies.

In a pluralistic tapestry of approaches, eminent Dewey scholars
address his pragmatic philosophy and whether it should be
reinterpreted, reconfigured, or "passed-by, " so as to better deal
with the problems posed by the twenty-first century. For some,
Dewey's contextualism remains intact, requiring more to be amended
than radically changed. For others, his work needs significant
revision if he is to be relevant in the new millennium. Finally,
there are those who argue that we should not be so quick to pass
Dewey by, for he has much to offer that has still gone unnoticed or
unappreciated. This rich narrative indicates both where the context
has changed and what needs to be preserved and nurtured in Dewey as
we advance into the future.
