Conclusion -- Notes -- IndexWhy did the language of contract become the dominant metaphor for the relationship between subject and sovereign in mid-seventeenth-century England? In Wayward Contracts, Victoria Kahn takes issue with the usual explanation for the emergence of contract theory in terms of the origins of liberalism, with its notions of autonomy, liberty, and equality before the law. Drawing on literature as well as political theory, state trials as well as religious debates, Kahn argues that the sudden prominence of contract theory was part of the linguistic turn of early modern culture, when government was imagined in terms of the poetic power to bring new artifacts into existence. But this new power also brought in its wake a tremendous anxiety about the contingency of obligation and the instability of the passions that induce individuals to consent to a sovereign power. In this wide-ranging analysis of the cultural significance of contract theory, the lover and the slave, the tyrant and the regicide, the fool and the liar emerge as some of the central, if wayward, protagonists of the new theory of political obligation. The result is must reading for students and scholars of early modern literature and early modern political theory, as well as historians of political thought and of liberalism.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismPolitics and literatureGreat BritainHistory17th centuryContractsGreat BritainHistory17th centuryPolitical obligationHistory17th centurySocial contractHistory17th centuryContracts in literatureGreat BritainPolitics and government1642-1660Great BritainPolitics and government1660-1688English literatureHistory and criticism.Politics and literatureHistoryContractsHistoryPolitical obligationHistorySocial contractHistoryContracts in literature.820.9/358/094109033Kahn Victoria Ann614780MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777923903321Wayward contracts3741788UNINA03748oam 22005175 450 991073147940332120231027204823.09783031273087303127308710.1007/978-3-031-27308-7(MiAaPQ)EBC30592760(Au-PeEL)EBL30592760(DE-He213)978-3-031-27308-7(PPN)272267007(CKB)26937885200041(OCoLC)1385166880(EXLCZ)992693788520004120230612d2023 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe urban ecologies of divided cities /edited by Amira Osman, John Nagle, Sabyasachi Tripathi1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (xii, 228 pages) illustrations (some color)Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation, IEREK Interdisciplinary Series for Sustainable Development,2522-8722Print version: Osman, Amira The Urban Ecologies of Divided Cities Cham : Springer,c2023 9783031273070 Part 1: Historical and contemporary processes -- Part 2: New grounds -- Part 3: Territories and Taxonomies -- Part 4: (Re)definitions -- Part 5: Questions of Agency.The book discusses how division affect the fabric of cities, and people’s sense of identity and agency, and are reflected in physical features, architecture, and urban planning. The question of divided cities represents a complex and multistranded urban Ecology—at once both social and spatial; it cannot be limited to a single science or discipline, such as social or spatial fields. This suggests integrated and cross- disciplinary understandings, as well as integrated or parallel approaches and solutions. Urban ecologies of division manifest in multiple forms. One of their most palpable expressions is conflict, with parallels around the world, and often with correlations in the spatial fabric. Violence in such contexts is often a surface expression of deeper socio-economic or ideological differences. Whether as a result of intervention by authority or by dissent between groups, a divided city inevitably becomes a place of conflict in various forms and intensity, eroding the joy of living and sense of collective belonging to the detriment of all. In effect, it erodes the collective advantage of being part of a more unified society. A city exists in collections of social structures which mutually form a society. A divided city implies divided social structures and, in consequence, a divided society. The papers compiled in this book present many case studies of divided cities, discussing the different causes of divisions and their effects on societies. Some of the causes can be linked to conflicts, wars, colonialism, or legislative political systems. In response to the serious challenges resulting from these divisions, the book aims to provide opportunities for new approaches and possibilities for new interventions and solutions, making it significant to urban planners, architects, and policymakers.Advances in science, technology & innovation2522-8722Urban ecology (Sociology)Urban ecology (Sociology)307.76307.76Osman Amira1368893Nagle John1368894Tripathi Sabyasachi1368895MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910731479403321The Urban Ecologies of Divided Cities3394884UNINA
