Impossible Things in the Age of Reformations
THEY FLEW: A HISTORY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE. By Carlos Eire. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2023. Pp. xviii + 492. Hardcover, $35.00; paperback, $24.00; e-book, $24.00. How should scholars of religion interpret or explain miracles or other events that appear to transcend the realm of natural causation? This question is at the heart of Carlos Eire’s latest book, the intriguing and provocative They Flew, a work that both documents early modern respon…
Inspiration and Authority in the Middle Ages
Inspiration and Authority rethinks the role of prophecy in the Middle Ages by examining how professional theologians responded to new assertions of divine inspiration. The book argues that the task of defining prophetic authority became a crucial intellectual and cultural enterprise as university-trained theologians confronted prophetic claims from lay mystics, radical Franciscans, and other unprecedented visionaries. In the process, these theolo…
Polemic, Preaching, and Early Dominican Assessments of Prophetic Authority
This chapter examines the emergence of theoretical treatises devoted to understanding the nature of prophecy. Emerging out of polemical works against Islam and its prophet, such treatises eventually addressed disagreements within Christianity itself about the nature of inspiration and the boundaries of sacred authority. A significant element of theoretical reflection, particularly among the Dominican Order, came from discussions of the nature of …

Two Early Lives of Severos, Patriarch of Antioch
Severos, patriarch of Antioch, was one of the most important ecclesiastical figures of the first half of the sixth century, a time when the reception, or not, of the Council of Chalcedon (451) was still a matter of much dispute. As an opponent of the Council, Severos had to flee from his patriarchal see to Egypt in 518 when Justin came to the throne and imperial policy changed. Summoned by Justinian to Constantinople in 536, he won over Anthimos,…
Social Inclusion: Societal and Organizational Implications for Information Systems
Changes in society resulting from the pervasiveness of information technology have produced positive and negative, intended and unintended consequences. Key among them is the exclusion of individuals—who lack access to technological resources—from various societal processes and services. The theme of this book, social inclusion, explores the many dimensions of this exclusion. This issue has been the focus of much debate within the social sciences…
Copyright and the creative industries in China
On 27 October 2001 the National People's Congress of China approved amendments to the Chinese Copyright Law that brought it closer in line with the Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights 1994 (TRIPS) and the Berne Convention on Literary and Artistic Works of 1886. Since enacting its first copyright law in 1990, China has been engaged in the development of a copyright regime that accords with international practice. Accession to t…
Fan-Based Production for Computer Games
Fan-based or third party content creation has assumed an integral place in the multi-million dollar computer games industry. The emerging production ecology that involves new kinds of distributed organisations and ad hoc networks epitomises the 'drift of value' from producer to consumer and allows us to understand how user-led innovation influences the creative industries. But the ability to control intellectual property rights in content product…

Realigning Research and Practice in Information Systems Development
Given the pervasive nature of information technology and information systems in the modern world, the design and development of IS and IT are critical issues of concern. New research topics continuously emerge in tandem with the latest developments in technology-E-Business, Knowledge Management, Business Process Reengineering, for example. However, when the initial flurry of research abates and the "gloss" of these areas has diminished somewhat, …
