From the author of Elena Knows, finalist for the 2022 International
Booker Prize 20 years after a shocking accident, Mary Lohan returns
to the Buenos Aires suburb she escaped in a fugue of guilt and
isolation. She is not the same—not her name or voice, not even
the color of her eyes. The neighborhood looks different too, but
she’s still the same woman and it’s still the same place, and
as the past erupts into view, they slowly collide. A Little
Luck is the story about the debilitating weight of lies, the messy
line between bravery and cowardice, and the tragedies, big and
small, that can ripple out from a single decisive event. In a place
she had determined to forget forever, both anticipated encounters
and unanticipated revelations show her, and us, that sometimes life
is neither fate nor chance: perhaps it’s nothing more than a
little luck.
Theories of Emotion is a philosophical introduction to the most
influential theories of emotion of the past 60 years in philosophy,
psychology, and biology. This multi-disciplinary approach provides
the reader with a one-stop shop for encountering the key debates
and cutting-edge ideas in what is becoming a central focus of
contemporary thought. An introductory chapter on definitions of
emotion is followed by three main sections on the way emotions are
expressed, subjectively experienced, and related to action and
motivation. This accessible but probing approach integrates
philosophical analysis with innovative research in psychology and
cognitive science, contextualizing current debates in the history
of ideas from Darwin to pragmatism. Each section is introduced by a
detailed illustration of a foundational thinker's work on emotion
(Charles Darwin, William James, and John Dewey, respectively),
showing how their insights and discoveries have shaped current
views and suggesting ways in which they might still enrich
contemporary approaches.
Abolitionist Cosmopolitanism redefines the potential of American
antislavery literature as a cultural and political imaginary by
situating antislavery literature in specific transnational contexts
and highlighting the role of women as producers, subjects, and
audiences of antislavery literature. Pia Wiegmink draws attention
to locales, authors, and webs of entanglement between texts, ideas,
and people. Perceived through the lens of gender and
transnationalism, American antislavery literature emerges as a body
of writing that presents profoundly reconfigured literary
imaginations of freedom and equality in the United States prior to
the Civil War.
This book charts the evolution of EU law (both internal market and
institutional law) through the jurisprudence of one of its leading
jurists. Few have as close an eye-witness view of the evolution of
European Union law as judges at the ECJ. They not only observe,
however, but actively work towards its development. This collection
assesses the momentous contribution to European Union law made by
José LuÃs da Cruz Vilaça. Taking those areas of law which were
directly shaped by his judgments (institutional law/internal
market/free movement of persons and judicial review), leading
scholars assess his legacy. Through this prism, the story of EU law
can be charted.
