Immortal Beauty
I argue that a popular view about self-locating evidence implies that there are cases in which agents have surprisingly strong evidence for their own reincarnation. The central case is an ‘Immortal Beauty' scenario, modelled after the well-known Sleeping Beauty puzzle. I argue that if the popular ‘thirder’ solution to the puzzle is correct, then Immortal Beauty should be confident that she's going to be reincarnated. The essay also examines anoth…
Picturing Nations
This chapter examines the important role played by photography in the nineteenth century in the projection of the idea and image of the nation-state. It focuses on the contribution of landscape and monument photography to the construction of the national identity in Britain and Germany. In contrast, mid-nineteenth-century Germany consisted of more than thirty sovereign states, and unification was a major goal that the middle classes wanted to ach…
List and Menzies on High‐Level Causation
I raise two objections against Christian List and Peter Menzies' influential account of high‐level causation. Improving upon some of Stephen Yablo's earlier work, I develop an alternative theory which evades both objections. The discussion calls into question List and Menzies' main contention, namely, that the exclusion principle, applied to difference‐making, is false

Mediensport
Mediensport bietet prägnante Inszenierungen, die dem Sport spezifische Eigenschaften zuschreiben. Dies geschieht im Rahmen der Frage, was überhaupt als Sport verstanden wird: Die Beiträge des Bandes zeigen an so unterschiedlichen Fällen wie dem Postkartensammeln, den Sechstagerennen, dem Synchronschwimmen oder Computerspielen, wie die Auseinandersetzungen darum, ob diese Praktiken als Sport aufzufassen sind, untrennbar mit Semantiken, kulturellen…

International Police Co‐operation and the Associations for the Fight Against White Slavery
White Slavery occupied the imagination of the European and American middle‐class for more than a generation. From the 1880s onwards philanthropists organised a campaign to suppress the trafficking of girls and young women. The governments and the police could not ignore this campaign. International agreements were signed in 1904 and 1910 and specialised branches of police were set up in major European cities. Intensified surveillance and research…

Discourses on photography in mid-Victorian Britain
What is photography? This question has been hotly debated ever since the birth of photography in the early Victorian period. Discussions have focused on the question whether photography is an art form or not. Authors of general histories of photography have tended to write histories of a long series of technological breakthroughs or of eminent photographers. Cultural, social and economic aspects of photography have yet to be thoroughly researched…
