Introduction
This section contains technical developments that were not included in the printed book. It is an eclectic and growing selection, determined by the specific interests and competencies of the editors and the Research Group as we substantiate, criticize, and extend the core narrative. As we discuss the topics, compare the core narrative with the work of other scholars, and write our own research, new ideas arise continuously. Some of these developments are expressed as “Themes“.
Each theme either elaborates in greater detail upon topics raised in the book, or clarifies the position of the author where, with the advantage of further reflection, we feel that the core narrative could be improved. Themes are shorter than full articles (here collected as Monographs), but longer than footnotes. They each serve as a window onto a specific topic, and as a connecting “hub” that brings together disparate information under one heading. They also provide the reader with the advantage of a collection of hyperlinks for futher reading.
Use the menu on the left-hand sidebar to navigate to the themes of interest.
