Market Virtues And Respect For Human Dignity, Luís C. Calderón Gómez, Robert Talisse, John A. Weymark
Market Virtues And Respect For Human Dignity, Luís C. Calderón Gómez, Robert Talisse, John A. Weymark
Faculty Book Chapters
Luigino Bruni and Robert Sugden have provided a normative defense of markets from a virtue ethics perspective. They interpret market exchange as being a practice in the sense of Alasdair MacIntyre. For Bruni and Sugden, the telos of a market is mutual benefit and a market virtue is a character trait or disposition that contributes to the realization of this benefit. They regard market virtues as embodying a moral attitude towards market interactions that is characterized by reciprocity. For MacIntyre, this is a partial account of a virtue. To qualify as a virtue, it is also necessary that it contributes …
The Culture Police: Manning The Barricades Of Allowable Art And Culture, Ramy Aly
The Culture Police: Manning The Barricades Of Allowable Art And Culture, Ramy Aly
Faculty Book Chapters
In this chapter I look at the history and ontology of censorship in Egypt from the Monarchical era to the present. I focus on the post-1952 era and how a tutelary state culture has been deployed as part of a broader cultural militarism. The chapter also covers the legislative architecture that has ensured a stranglehold on the part of syndicates and the creation of a broad range of crimes associated with art and culture production and exhibition.

Le Gallienne’S Paraphrase And The Limits Of Translation, Adam Talib
Le Gallienne’S Paraphrase And The Limits Of Translation, Adam Talib
Faculty Book Chapters
This essay shows that Richard Le Gallienne’s 1897 edition of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is an original literary text and that it, along with other versions of the Rubáiyát published in the same period, was a response to FitzGerald’s wildly popular translation of a few decades earlier. Le Gallienne’s paraphrased versions of Persian poetry, Khayyam and later Hafez, are linked to his close involvement with the commercial publishing industry while his primary reliance in these paraphrases on academic translations highlights the parallel trend of scholarly reaction, often corrective, to FitzGerald’s edition. By examining how Le Gallienne composed his paraphrase …

On The Supposed Societies Of Chemicals, Atoms And Stars In Gabriel Tarde, Graham Harman
On The Supposed Societies Of Chemicals, Atoms And Stars In Gabriel Tarde, Graham Harman
Faculty Book Chapters
It is commonly believed that the French sociologist Gabriel Tarde allows even for inanimate objects such as chemicals, atoms, and stars to be topics of sociology. This article claims otherwise. Tarde is an arch-reductionist for whom nothing exists below the tiniest micro-level of the cosmos. His theory of monads is by no means an adequate sociology of medium- or large-sized things.
Why A Guide To Family Wealth In The Arab Region?, Barbara Ibrahim, Heba Abou Shnief
Why A Guide To Family Wealth In The Arab Region?, Barbara Ibrahim, Heba Abou Shnief
Faculty Book Chapters
Families everywhere are feeling the pressures of life in a rapidly changing world. Perhaps no other place has experienced more rapid economic and social development than the Arab region. Over the last 40 years, family expectations for where adult children will live, whom they will marry, or the occupations they will follow have shifted dramatically
Bruno Latour And The Politics Of Nature, Graham Harman
Bruno Latour And The Politics Of Nature, Graham Harman
Faculty Book Chapters
Bruno Latour describes his Politics of Nature as work of political ecology. Its subtitle, "How to Bring the Sciences Into Democracy," suggests a specific and limited topic, albeit an interesting one. Yet what this book really offers is a full system of metaphysics, perhaps the first original system of the new millennium. Latour declares these large ambitions openly. In so doing, he is fully aware of the stones that might be showered upon his parade: he warns us jokingly of "a dreadful specter...the obligation to engage in metaphysics, that is to define in turn how the pluriverse is furnished and …

Nuptiality In Arab Countries: Changes And Implications, Hoda Rashad, Magued Osman
Faculty Book Chapters
This volume represents revised versions of a collection of papers presented at Cairo Papers Ninth Annual Symposium on ''The New Arab Family,'' held in May 2000. Marriage, divorce, and related topics were center stage, particularly in the demographic papers. Another focus was to combine two very different approaches to the study of the family -- on the one hand demographic, and on the other broadly sociological or anthropological, or as some would say, psychodynamic, that is to say focusing on dyadic or multi-member networks of relationships within the family. Some of these papers in turn focused on ''agency,'' the ways …
