“Housing the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker: The Cultural Significance of the Use of Facade Porticoes in Medieval Rome” Selena Anders Assistant Professor, Co-Director HUE ND and Associate Director DHARMA Lab

Where did medieval Roman working-class people live? What were the housing types associated with butchers, bakers, and artisans? This study examines and documents the visible remnants of the residential façade portico, a mixed-use commercial, residential building type of medieval Rome. It reveals the building type’s social significance to Rome’s working-class until the onset of the Renaissance, thus contributing to our understanding of visualization of medieval Rome’s residential character and working-class architecture.

World Authorship

Oxford Twenty-First Century Approaches to Literature Oxford University Press, 2020 Co-editors: Rebecca Braun and Emily Spiers Tobias Boes Associate Professor of German, Department of German and Russian Languages and Literatures

Booksellers, authors, and academics have been talking about world literature since Goethe made the term fashionable in the early nineteenth century. Yet, amid all the talk of books that “circulate” and literature as a kind of “universal property” that can function as a “window on the world,” how do we account for the people who live in real places, and who write, translate, market, and read the texts that travel on these global journeys? This volume breaks new ground by showing how to bring together the real-world contexts of authorship with the literary worlds of fiction.

Women Intellectuals and Leaders in the Middle Ages

Boydell & Brewer, 2020 Co-editors: Kathryn Kerby-Fulton and John Van Engen Katie Bugyis Assistant Professor, Program of Liberal Studies and Department of Theology

Bringing together contributors from literature, history and religion, this volume challenges several traditional views about women’s intellectual accomplishments in the middle ages. For evidence of women’s advanced capabilities, the book engages with vernacular writings and material culture, such as manuscript illumination and stained glass, but also with writing by women in the sacred languages of Latin, Arabic and Hebrew. This challenges existing scholarship by demonstrating that women were daring and accomplished thinkers beyond the vernacular and material.

By 1200, Matilda de Bailleul, abbess of the community of Benedictine nuns at Wherwell Abbey in Hampshire, England (c.1174–1212), had acquired a finely decorated psalter for her personal use. It bears telling signs of her ownership— entries of her relatives’ obits and prayers tailored for her use—as well as the marks of its subsequent owners. This article examines features of the psalter that were integral to its intended use, but have yet to be explained adequately, and argues that its patron and first owner was the Templar Osto de Saint-Omer (d. c.1174), Matilda’s maternal uncle.

WEALTH CREATION, HUMAN RIGHTS AND BUSINESS LEGITIMACY Georges Enderle

Georges Enderle

At first glance, connecting wealth creation, human rights and business legitimacy seems to be an odd undertaking. Human rights are universal standards meant to be applicable primarily to

nation-states while business is supposed to get its legitimacy from making money. Human rights

This chapter from the Handbook of Business Legitimacy (Springer, 2020) defines business legitimacy in economic and ethical terms. It explains that transnational corporations and other business enterprises gain legitimacy by creating wealth in a comprehensive sense while respecting human rights and remedying human rights violations. In turn, businesses lose their legitimacy when they disregard the minimal standards of wealth creation and violate the minimal ethical requirements of human rights according to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

are aspirational and need to be incorporated into national and international law. In turn, business has to prove its legitimacy in the marketplace. This chapter argues that business’s true task is to prove its legitimacy by creating wealth Principles on Business and Human Rights. The main line of argument is presented here while further explications are provided in the book Corporate Responsibility for Wealth Creation and Human Rights (Enderle 2020). Before addressing the topic of this chapter, some relevant literature on legitimacy is recalled, and it is briefly indicated why business legitimacy and human rights have gained so much importance in the last 20 plus years. In his article “Legitimacy” in the Encyclopedia of Ethics, A. John Simmons (1992/2001) writes that “[P]hilosophers have generally identified legitimacy with a certain kind of moral authority in the legal or political realm. More specifically, legitimacy is the moral property of states, regimes (rulers, governments), or laws which makes them genuine, rightful, or authoritative … Most conceptions of legitimacy associate the legitimate with ‘the lawful’ and/or with ‘the accepted’ or ‘the acceptable’ … Positive legality is at most a necessary condition for legitimacy … Legitimacy requires moral legality or positive legality within a morally justified constitutional scheme” [emphasis by G.E.]. Marc C. Suchman’s ground-breaking article (1995) focuses on organizational legitimacy and distinguishes three primary forms: pragmatic, based on audience self-interest; moral, based on normative approval; and cognitive, based on comprehensibility and taken-for-grantedness. 1

“The Trionfi’s Golden Age: a comparison among three European translations of Ilicino’s Commento” Magnificat: Cultura i Literatura Medievals, Volume 7 (2020) Leonardo Francalanci Assistant Teaching Professor of Catalan and Spanish, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures

The article offers a comparative study of the three known translations of Ilicino’s commentary on Petrarch’s Triumphs in Catalan, French, and Spanish. The study of the dissemination of Ilicino’s Commento during the period 1475-1525 helps shed light on the importance of the reception of the Triumphs in Medieval and Early Modern Europe, but also illustrates how the reception of Petrarch’s poem was progressively influenced and increasingly shaped by the development of European Petrarchism across sixteenth-century Europe.

The Trionfi’s Golden Age: a comparison between three European translations of Ilicino’s Commento Abstract During the last part of the fifteenth and the first decades of the sixteenth centuries, the dissemination of Petrarch’s Trionfi – the so-called ‘second wave’ of Petrarchism – was characterized by the extraordinary editorial success, in Italy as well as in the rest of Western Europe, of Bernardo Ilicino’s Commento on the Trionfi. By promoting an erudite, encyclopedic, and moralizing reading of Petrarch’s poem, Ilicino’s commentary effectively became a lens through which generations of European readers approached the text. Nonetheless, the dissemination of the commentary proved not to be immune from the influence of sixteenth-century lyrical Petrarchism, which started developing almost at the same time but would not reach peak until few years later. A comparative study of the three known translations of Ilicino’s Commento in Catalan, French and Spanish – even more so, vis à vis the translation of the poem without the commentary – allows us to identify similarities among these translations, as well as important differences. Some of these differences reveal that while the commentary was still sought after by early sixteenth-century readers of Petrarch’s poem, the general approach towards the poem was already starting to shift in the direction of Petrarchism. The three European translations of Ilino’s Commentary, when organized chronologically, help shed light on how much the reception of the Triumphs was influenced at the time by the parallel development of European Petrarchism, which promoted a more direct, literary approach towards the poem.

A B S T R A C T We study the economic effects of unilateral adoption of corporate tax policies that include the choice between destination-based and source-based taxation and between cash flow and income taxes. We utilize a heterogeneous firm model in which monopolistically competitive North firms choose whether to outsource an intermediate good to an unrelated South firm or to produce in a subsidiary in the South. Standard pass through arguments no longer apply because of the income shifting behavior of multinationals and endogenous choice of organizational form. The high tax North country will prefer a destination-based tax over a source-based tax if it adopts a cash flow tax, but whether the cash flow tax is preferred to an income tax will depend on the volume of trade in the differentiated products sector. If the high tax country adopts a destination-based cash flow tax, the low tax country will prefer a destination-based income tax to capture rents from the foreign subsidiaries. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

1. Introduction As part of the debate over U.S. corporate tax rates, the House Republicans developed a tax reform plan (Tax Reform Task Force, 2017) that proposed the unilateral change of the U.S. corporate tax law from one built around source-based income taxation (SBT) to one built around border-adjusted or destination-based cash flow taxation (DBCFT). Such a change would make two significant changes in the corporate tax system: income would be taxed based on where goods are sold rather than on where they are produced and

capital expenditures would be deductible from taxable income.1 A key component of taxing on the basis of the location of sales is a border adjustment that excludes export sales from taxation, but prevents firms from deducting the cost of imported goods from taxable income.2 Advocates of DBCFT (e.g., Auerbach et al., 2017) argue that a cash flow tax will be a tax on economic rent and will not distort the international location of capital investments.3 It is also argued that

1 Cash flow taxation can also affect the taxation of debt and interest payments. We abstract from these issues in this paper. 2 The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (U.S. Congress, 2017) that was ultimately adopted did not convert the corporate income tax to a DBCFT. However it did move somewhat in the direction of a cash flow tax by allowing for the full expensing of intermediate duration capital purchases and by tightening the rules regarding transfer pricing. It also included some partial border adjustment in the form of the Base Erosion and AntiAbuse Tax (BEAT), which limits the deductibility of payments by multinationals to foreign subsidiaries in low tax locations 3 Brown (1948) and Sandmo (1979) are the classic references on cash flow taxation in a domestic context.

Rev. Gregory Haake, C.S.C. Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures

The creativity of the Renaissance ushered in new instability of discourse and a decline of traditional centers of authority. Haake shows that poets, authors, printers, and polemicists—including historians, such as Simon Goulart; the great poets of the time, such as Pierre de Ronsard or Agrippa d’Aubigné; or anonymous authors of polemical texts—rushed in to take advantage of discursive uncertainty to discredit their enemies and shape the meaning of history as it unfolded.

From fantasy and sci-fi to graphic novels, boy scouts to board games, blockbuster films to the cult of theatre, Shakespeare is everywhere in popular culture. Where there is popular culture there are fans and nerds and geeks. The essays in this collection dive into this world to explore the interplay between Shakespeare and geek culture in its various forms. Taking an innovative approach to the study of Shakespeare’s cultural presences, they situate his works, his image and his brand to locate and plumb the nature of the geekiness that, the authors argue, is a vital but unrecognized characteristic of those who enjoy and are obsessed by Shakespeare, whether they are scholars, film fans, theatre-goers or members of legions of other groupings in which Shakespeare plays his part.

Associate Dean for the Arts; Professor and McMeel Family Chair in Shakespeare Studies, Department of Film, Television and Theatre

Working at the intersections of a wide range of fields ‒ including fan studies and film analysis, cultural studies and fantasy/sci-fi theory – the authors demonstrate how the particularities of the connection between Shakespeare and geek culture generate new insights into the plays, poems and their larger cultural legacy in the 21st century.

This edited volume contains the acts of the 22nd Plenary Session of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. Motivated by the perception of a worldwide increase in nationalism, the papers presented at the Plenary Session considered political and juridical thought on the concepts of nation and state, and how they intersect with both Catholic Social Doctrine and issues such as economic globalization and war. This theoretical discussion was further illustrated by case studies of the development of nationalism in different areas of the world, and by recent events, such as Brexit.

“Revolutionizing Mediation: Resolving Civil Conflict at the Justices of the Peace, 1789-1792” Revolutionizing Mediation: Resolving Civil Conflict at the Justices of the Peace, 1789-1792

Journal of the Western Society for French History, Vol. 46 (February 2020) Katie Jarvis Carl E. Koch Associate Professor, Department of History

This article uses 174 court cases from one Parisian neighborhood to analyze how French revolutionaries reinvented legal mediation during the constitutional monarchy and early republic. Under the Old Regime, French subjects had recourse to seigneurial or royal courts for local justice, but the National Assembly overhauled these options in 1789, introducing new procedures called “voluntary judgements,” which allowed individuals to resolve common frictions as cooperative co-petitioners rather than as adversarial parties.

Katie Jarvis, University of Notre Dame The “National Razor” must have been getting dull by June 23, 1794, at the height of the Terror. The guillotine, which operated on the right bank of Paris, had already cut from the nation hundreds of individuals whose crimes the Revolutionary Tribunal had deemed irreconcilable and unpardonable. That day, its blade added twenty more condemned heads.1 Meanwhile, across the river, a mere 4.8 kilometer walk from the guillotine, Citizen Brou and Citizen Descotes appeared before a revolutionary court to a much different end.2 They were attempting to reconcile their differences. Brou had loaned Descotes a horse, which the latter had “unhappily lost.” Now, both citizens hoped that their locally-elected Justice of the Peace, a new revolutionary judge, could mediate a resolution. Brou proposed an indemnity for the mare, which Descotes found just and countered by requesting a repayment plan. Brou consented and the two resolved their dispute without a civil suit.3 Historians of the French Revolution have paid far more attention to scenes of conflict, like those at the foot of the guillotine, than to scenes of commonplace reconciliation, like that between Brou and Descotes. In recent years, scholars have turned to studies of violence and nonviolence, battlefield experience, friendships torn apart, and factional maneuvering dripping in the blood of the Terror.4 These The author thanks Micah Alpaugh and Anthony Crubaugh for their productive feedback on the penultimate version of this article.

2020 Louis A. Gottschalk Prize American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Katie Jarvis Carl E. Koch Associate Professor, Department of History

Awarded the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies’ Gottschalk Prize for the best book in any scholarly discipline, Politics in the Marketplace: Work, Gender, and Citizenship in Revolutionary France (Oxford University Press, 2019) examines how the Dammes des Halles, or the Parisian market women, invented notions of citizenship through everyday trade. While haggling over price controls, fair taxes, and acceptable currency, the Dames and their clients negotiated tenuous economic and social contracts in tandem, remaking longstanding Old Regime practices. Jarvis challenges the interpretation that the Revolution launched an inherently masculine trajectory for citizenship and reexamines work, gender, and citizenship at the cusp of modern democracy.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

APRIL 2020

ASECS Announces Winner of 2020 Book Prize The American Society for Eighteenth-Century (ASECS) awards the Louis A. Gottschalk prize annually to the best scholarly book on an eighteenth-century subject. In 2020, the Gottschalk Prize is given to Katie Jarvis for Politics in the Marketplace: Work, Gender, and Citizenship in Revolutionary France (Oxford University Press, 2019). This book about the French revolution is itself revolutionary. In a remarkable feat of investigative historicism, Jarvis, an assistant professor of History at the University of Notre Dame, recovers the daily lives and political voices of an unusual community of merchant women—the fish mongers and fruit sellers known as the Dames des Halles, after the great hall in Paris where their stalls had fed the city since the Middle Ages, earning it the moniker “the stomach of Paris.” Jarvis shows how the haggling, selling, and mercantile activities of these working women shaped notions of citizenship during the French Revolution through everyday trade. By means of modest legal documents, surviving rental agreements, and obscure inventories of the few material possessions these women left behind at their deaths, Jarvis reconstructs with panache the work lives, networks, and political influence of these pivotal citizens. Jarvis’s masterful prose is novelistic in its ability to conjure up the market stalls of Revolutionary France with upholstered descriptions of objects and things. Offering a reassessment of the political role of the Parisian market women, Jarvis develops a new conception of Revolutionary citizenship based in public service and social experience. This sophisticated book will appeal to anyone interested in economic history, public and private spheres, and women’s political activity.

Physical Disability in British Romantic Literature Cambridge University Press, 2020 Essaka Joshua Associate Professor, Department of English

The modern concept of disability did not exist in the Romantic period. This study addresses the anachronistic use of “disability” in scholarship of the Romantic era, providing a disability studies-theorized account that explores the relationship between ideas of function and aesthetics. Joshua offers accounts of deformity that anticipate recent disability studies theory, and discusses deformity and monstrosity as a blended category in Frankenstein, arguing for the historical and critical value of period-specific terms.

Italian Neorealism CHARLES L. LEAVITT IV is an assistant professor of Italian at the University of Notre Dame.

A Cultural History

University of Toronto Press, 2020 Charles Leavitt Assistant Professor of Italian, Department of Romance

“In this superbly researched study, Charles L. Leavitt IV historicizes the canonization of ‘neorealismo’ by identifying the term’s earlier references to interwar modernist literature, Soviet cinema, and European artistic practices. Italian Neorealism is a triumph of cultural archaeology and critical clarity.” Giorgio Bertellini, Professor, Department of Film, Television, and Media, University of Michigan

“Impeccably researched and deeply illuminating, Italian Neorealism: A Cultural History probes the networks, the histories, the ethics, and the aesthetics that made neorealism such a vibrant and also contradictory – indeed, vibrant because it was contradictory – cultural moment. Offering a bracing corrective to tired attempts that tie neorealism Languages and Literatures to dogma and definition, Leavitt proposes instead a compelling model of neorealism as an extended ‘cultural conversation,’ drawing on examples from film, novels, poetry, drama, essays, art, and architecture. In the process he captures neorealism’s variety of voice and its quite exceptional contribution to the culture of Europe’s ‘postwar.’”

This book adopts a comprehensive, comparative, and interdisciplinary approach to describe and analyze a neorealist project encompassing film, literature, theatre, art Robert S.C. Gordon, Serena Professor of Italian, Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and architecture, cultural criticism, and political and intellectual debate.andFrom the Linguistics, University of Cambridge arrival in Italy of notions of neorealism first developed in France to their reshaping in the 1920s and 1930s by the reception of European modernist art and literature, as well as American, British, Soviet, and French cinema, the book shows how Italian neorealism performed a post-World War II democratic polity, one not yet present in the theatre of political action but already mobilized symbolically in the realm of art.

Professor of Spanish, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures

This is a book that was written to be read. With a view to shedding light on Herzog’s notoriously hard-to-pin-down politics, it focuses on the idea of “America” as it figures in Herzog’s oeuvre, treating it as a broad and privileged category for reflecting on capitalist modernity. With a concern that goes to the heart of what is so powerful and disorienting about Herzog’s work, this book leads the reader along an unpredictable path to a fresh apprehension of the films.

Associate Professor, William T. Carey and Helen Kuhn Carey Chair in Modern Communication, Department of Film, Television and Theatre

This book chapter, from Petrocinema: Sponsored Film and the Oil Industry, explores the marketing campaign the Walt Disney Studio constructed for Standard Oil to encourage visitors to drive to San Francisco for the Golden Gate International Exhibition in 1939 and 1940. The discussion draws on comic strips, corporate records, trade papers, and business publications to place the campaign in conversation with contemporary discourses about landscape, travel, national parks, and the American West. The Petrocinema anthology emerged from an international conference held at the University of Stockholm, in collaboration with the Swedish Film Institute, in 2015.

On the Road with Mickey and Donald Walt Disney, Standard Oil, and the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939 Susan Ohmer

I

n the spring and summer of 1939, Americans were on the move in fiction and in film. In John Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Grapes of Wrath, the Joad family began its forced migration from Oklahoma’s Dust Bowl to California, with the hope of finding work and stability. On the screen, John Wayne rode shotgun in Stagecoach (John Ford, 1939), navigating bandits and dusty trails, while Cecil B. DeMille’s Union Pacific celebrated the completion of the first transcontinental railroad across the United States. And in The Wizard of Oz (Victor Fleming, 1939), Dorothy and her companions—the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow—fought witches and flying monkeys on the road to Oz, a land whose shining towers and association with magic and mystery evoked some of the awe inspired by that year’s two world’s fairs. Whether they drove in automobiles, maneuvered stagecoaches, took to the rails, or walked, these characters making their way across the landscape celebrated the mobility that has long been considered an essential part of US culture, a mobility often made possible by oil and gasoline.

Wastepaper Modernism

Twentieth-Century Fiction and the Ruins of Print Oxford University Press, 2021 Joseph Rosenberg Assistant Professor, Program of Liberal Studies

From junk mail in the work of Elizabeth Bowen to bureaucratic paperwork in Vladimir Nabokov, modern fiction is littered with images of tattered and useless paper that reveal an increasingly uneasy relationship between literature and its own materials over the course of the twentieth century. These images are vital to our understanding of modernism, disclosing an anxiety about textual matter that lurks behind the desire for radically different modes of communication. Through book history, media theory and detailed close reading, Wastepaper Modernism reveals modernist literature’s dark sense of itself as a ruin in the making.

If we ask ourselves what point of view is missing from the usual narrative of migration, we can discover a wide array of content and experiences on the part of those who experience migration. “Human Lines” empowers all of the participants to tell their stories with total freedom of expression.

Christianity and Human Rights Reconsidered Cambridge University Press, 2020 Co-editor: Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins Sarah Shortall Assistant Professor, Department of History

This is the first global examination of the historical relationship between Christianity and human rights in the twentieth century. Developing fresh approaches to issues such as human dignity and religious freedom, leading scholars from multiple disciplines move beyond the temporal, geographical, and thematic limits of the existing scholarship. These essays foreground the complicated relationship between global rights discourses—whether Christian, liberal, or otherwise—and the local contexts in which they are developed and implemented.

While a hallmark of Jane Austen’s fiction is that characters’ firmly held own truths often become the basis for learning a few home truths, something distinctive is at work in Emma (1815). This essay argues that in Emma, Austen seeks to distinguish an ethically viable relativism from the alternatives of both an absolutist belief in fixed truths and the anything-goes attitude that Barbara Herrnstein Smith dubs the “chimera of relativism.” This stance has significant consequences for how we understand the novel and how we understand the kinds of social and interpretive community that it ultimately imagines.

Édouard Brandon

A Jewish Painter in Nineteenth-Century Rome

Presentation at the College Art Association of America Conference (February 2020) Marsha Stevenson Librarian Emerita, Hesburgh Libraries

The Parisian Édouard Brandon (1831-1897) is known for the Jewish-themed paintings of his mature career. As a young man, however, he spent seven years in Rome engaged in a Catholic art commission. Initially concealing his Jewish identity, Brandon approached the French Congregation of Holy Cross in 1856 with an offer to paint a room at their property, the Casa di Santa Brigida, where the 14th-century mystic St. Bridget had lived. Brandon exhibited many of these compositions at the Parisian Salons in the 1860s, provoking an ambivalent response from the Jewish press.

As the Crow Flies Dos Madres Press, 2021 Henry Weinfield Professor Emeritus, Program of Liberal Studies

This collection includes new and unpublished older poems that are, like the birds of the title, dark and foreboding, appearing to tell the reader that Western civilization has lost its way and now has nowhere to go. But this view is expressed in poems as articulate, elegant, learned and witty – in short, as civilized – as it is possible for poems to be. The contrast between Weinfield’s skill and what his skill is called on to express could not be more poignant.

Hailed as the Prince of Poets of the French Renaissance, de Ronsard composed a rich body of love poetry that has captivated and challenged readers for centuries through its undulating, liquid forms and powerful metamorphic imagination. The book contains the French poems en face.
