The Other Face of the Battle. The Impact of War on Civilians in the Ancient Near East
No full textThe Other Face of the Battle presents a set of seven contributions that analyze the theme of violence against non-combatants across a broad chronological spectrum, stretching from the end of the third millennium BC (Third Dynasty of Ur) to the middle of the first millennium BC (Neo-Babylonian Period). To do this, we have included contributions from some members of the group (Agnès Garcia-Ventura, Davide Nadali, Jordi Vidal) and from a series of specialists who, from their own research areas, have collaborated with different studies of specific periods (Leticia Rovira, Ingo Schrakamp, Jürgen Lorenz, Jeff Zorn, John MacGinnis)
Vincent J. Cheng, Amnesia and the Nation, History, Forgetting, and James Joyce (Davide Crosara)
No full text“What should we remember?” “What should we forget?” These questions (which Cheng explicitly quotes from Jewish historian and philosopher Yosef Yerushalmi) run through Vincent J. Cheng’s compelling study regarding notions of memory and forgetfulness in the fiction of James Joyce. This ethical dilemma mimics the incessant questioning that keeps memory alive. As Cheng notices in his introduction to the volume (p. 6), while Mnemosyne was the goddess of memory, her sister Lesmosyne was the goddess of forgetting: the two are inextricably intertwined. Memory and trauma studies have devoted much interest to the act of remembering; however, noticeably less attention has been paid to amnesia and forgetfulness. The work of James Joyce opens up the possibility of a poignant investigation of the deep correlation between these notions
Persistence of civil wars
No full textA notable feature of post-World War II civil wars is their very long average duration. We provide a theory of the persistence of civil wars. The civilian government can successfully defeat rebellious factions only by creating a relatively strong army. In weakly-institutionalized polities this opens the way for excessive in?uence or coups by the military. Civilian governments whose rents are largely una¤ected by civil wars then choose small and weak armies that are incapable of ending insurrections. Our framework also shows that when civilian governments need to take more decisive action against rebels, they may be forced to build over-sized armies, beyond the size necessary for ?ghting the insurrection, as a commitment to not reforming the military in the future.National Science Fundation (U.S.
