Managing the Urban Archaeological Heritage of Prague: The Benefits of Collaboration
Prague, with its historical significance dating back over a millennium, has evolved into the focal point of the Czech state. The city's intricate development has not only resulted in the presence of distinctive archaeological remains, but has also secured its place on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List. The meticulous preservation of archaeological contexts, some of which are more tha…

God-Talk: An Introduction
God-talk consists of God speaking to humans in revelation, and humans speaking to God in prayer. They are the two forms of the covenantal language spoken between God and humans in general, and specifically between God and the Jewish people. God-talk is an essential component of the languages of all historic cultures. Yet there have been attempts to dismiss God-talk from public discourse, either epistemologically by claiming it is nonsense, or psy…

This article discusses the importance of the Portal of Amateur Collaborators and the Register of Individual Finds of the Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic (AMCR-PAS) in preserving data from metal-detecting activities in the Czech Republic. The context and legal framework of metal detecting in the country are explained along with the establishment of AMCR-PAS. The collaboration between amateur and professional archaeologists is also discuss…
The Impact of the Seadda Cost Action
The Saving Archaeology from the Digital Dark Age (SEADDA) COST Action ran from 2019 to 2023 and produced a wide range of publications, opportunities for capacity building and knowledge transfer. This paper will discuss the less tangible forms of impact resulting from the work of the SEADDA members working within and across their own networks. These impacts include the new avenues of communication and collaboration created through the data steward…

Taming the Beast. Approaches to Digital Archiving in Czech Archaeology
As in other countries, Czech archaeology has embarked on a journey of digitisation. This creates the need to cope with the rapid growth of digital data, which must be stored securely over the long term and be accessible in a comprehensible and useful way. This causes several problems. Although there is a centralised and well-resourced digital agenda that meets the requirements of the Heritage Law, outdated legislation and the absence of comprehen…
Digital Archiving in Archaeology: The State of the Art. Introduction
The articles in this special issue demonstrate significant differences in digital archiving capacity in different countries. In part these reflect differences in the history of archaeology in each country, its relationship to the state, whether it is centralised or decentralised, state-led or commercially driven. They also reflect some of the different attitudes to archaeology across the world, most recently explored in a survey conducted under t…
Scholarship and the Critique of Tradition: Elliot R. Wolfson, Heidegger and Kabbalah: Hidden Gnosis and the Path of Poiēsis
This review essay of Wolfson’s recent Heidegger and Kabbalah both praises Wolfson for departing from the historicism of his earliest writings on the kabbalistic tradition, and also critiques him for being unable to ground adequately his critique of the kabbalistic tradition’s ethnocentrism. Resolving the tension in this authorial position, stretched between commitment to a particular tradition and the liberalism of much of contemporary academia, …

The Arts of Gentrification: Creativity, Cultural Policy, and Public Space in Kamagasaki
In contemporary Japanese cities, nonprofit and grassroots arts organizations are mobilized in threatened urban neighborhoods, where neoliberal forms of creativity are invoked to mitigate social and economic displacement. Gentrification is recognizable across contemporary urban societies, but its practices are contingent on representations of local cultural expression, which have particular ramifications in postindustrial centers of urban Japan. I…
Sound Recordings
This entry describes the role of sound recordings in anthropological research, both as tools of fieldwork and data collection and as objects and contexts in the study of music, language, and cultural mediations of technology and environment. It considers the uses of the phonograph in early salvage anthropology, ethnographic work on recording studios and consumer circulations of music recordings, the changing forms of sound archives and preservati…
The impact of social support and partner relationship dynamics on engagement in HIV care and antiretroviral treatment adherence among MSM in Latin America
In Latin America (LA), HIV prevalence among MSM is estimated at thirty times greater than in the general male population. Little is known about the role of social support or disclosure status in relation to the HIV care continuum among LA MSM. Using multivariable logistic generalized estimation equations, we assessed the impact of social support satisfaction and disclosure status on engagement in HIV care, ART initiation, and ART adherence with d…
Feedback global et mort du son: Une anthropologie de la Japanoise
Une ethnographie de l’écouteL’expérience est un objet ardu à étudier du point de vue ethnographique : dans quelle mesure ai-je accès à l’expérience d’écoute des autres ? J’ai dû passer par le niveau du discours, en partant de questions idiotes, telles que : « que ressens-tu ? » ou « quelle est ton expérience quand tu écoutes ceci ? ». Mais le discours n’offre qu’un accès très limité à l’expérience. Une autre manière de procéder consiste à interro…

Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic. Current state and future visions of virtual research tools in the Czech Republic
The Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic (AMCR) project will soon be finished and one chapter of building digital infrastructures in the Czech Republic will be closed. It is a natural occasion to evaluate national state-of-the-art in dealing with Digital Culture Heritage, particularly archaeological data. It is a also good time to summarise our knowledge about using digital tools and to outline prospects of development for the coming years. W…
Project Fukushima! Performativity and the Politics of Festival in Post-3/11 Japan
This article describes the political performances of the annual Project Fukushima! festival that—only a few months after the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster on 3/11/11, and each summer since—has brought thousands to sing, dance, and make music in Fukushima City. Why celebrate Fukushima in the midst of a meltdown? I argue that performance has taken on a vital critical dimension in the ambivalent pluralism that drives contemporary public …
From Pride to Smugness and the Nationalism Between: Olympic Media Consumption Effects on Nationalism Across the Globe
To measure relationships between Olympic media viewing and nation-based attitudes, 6 nations (Australia, Bulgaria, China, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and the United States) were surveyed in the 5 days immediately after the 2012 London Olympics. A total of 1,025 respondents answered questions pertaining to four measures of nationalism: patriotism, nationalism, internationalism, and smugness. The amount of Olympic viewing resulted in significantly h…

Metres of Space: Japanese music coffeehouses and experimental practices of listening
This article describes a specific history of technological mediation in the circulation of popular music by examining local practices of listening to recordings in Japanese kissaten (often shortened to kissa and meaning, loosely, 'coffeehouse'). In postwar music kissaten, Japanese listeners were socialised to recordings of foreign music through new modes of hyper-attentive listening. While jazz kissa (though famous as crucibles for radical pro-de…

Democratizing Qualitative Research: Photovoice and the Study of Human Communication
This essay discusses the possibilities of photovoice as a method to advance the study of human communication. Via a democratizing of the research process, photovoice can significantly affect the study of communication. Originally proposed by Wang and Burris (1994), photovoice traditionally has been used to study the social worlds of marginalized persons (e.g., rural, learning disabled, people without homes). Photovoice is a method in which partic…
The Sublime Frequencies of New Old Media
A new world of music has recently taken the North American experimental music scene by storm. In the late 2000s, a wave of labels like Sublime Frequencies and Parallel World and MP3 blogs like Awesome Tapes from Africa redistributed regional popular music recordings as "new old" media authenticated by noise and psychedelic incommensurability. "World Music 2.0" conjoins the open source ethics of online networks with long-standing countercultural n…

The Role of Dogma in Judaism
“Judaism regulates action more strictly than it does the formulation and expression of thought. Action is the immediate subject of communal norms, whereas thought, although formulated in a common language, is still more in the domain of individual insight. This does not mean that one can affirm or deny anything one chooses and still remain part of the traditional Jewish community.”

JEWISH-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE: A JEWISH JUSTIFICATION. By David Novak. New York: Oxford University Press, 1989. Pp. xiii, 194. $24.95. ISBN: 0-19-505084-3. David Novak's "philosophically formulated theological argument for Jewish-Christian dialogue" (p. ix) seeks a "common border" between the two monotheisms which constitute the main story line of Western religion. And he finds it, in that old American standard, the Judeo-Christian ethic. I recommend…
Dogma in Medieval Jewish Thought: From Maimonides to Abravanel
This essay in the history of ideas seeks to trace the development of creed formation in Judaism from its inception with Moses Maimonides (1135-1204) to the beginning of the sixteenth-century, when systematic attention to the problem disappeared from the agenda of Jewish intellectuals. Dr Kellner describes, analyses, and compares the dogmatic systems of Maimonides, Duran, Crescas, Albo, Bibado, Abravanel, among others. English translations are pre…
Bioethics and the Contemporary Jewish Community
David Novak takes up the methodological issue of how substantive religious perspectives can be communicated in a pluralistic society. Novak notes that while "secularism" was historically welcomed by the Jewish community, Jewish thinkers now likewise face the challenge of speaking out of a tradition to a secular audience. Novak holds up Jewish-Christian dialogue as a model for constructing a public philosophy

The Election of Israel: The Idea of the Chosen People
In this book, David Novak conducts an historical, philosophical and theological reflection on the central Jewish doctrine of Israel's election by God, also known as the idea of the chosen people. Historically, he analyses the great change in modern Jewish thought brought about by Spinoza's inversion of the doctrine: that it was not God who elected Israel, but Israel who elected God. The development of that inversion is illustrated by the thought …
