Chapter 4 suggests that much interwar social behaviour was more relaxed than before the First World War and the informalising trends of popular culture exposed generational fissures which were particularly apparent in concerns about the cinema's imaginative and sensual impact. Courtship and ‘dating’ were becoming ‘private’ acts of consumption, taking place away from family and neighbourhood venues, in public social spaces such as the cinemaintroduction and dance hall. This distancing stimulated many adult concerns about their inability to supervise adequately young people's leisure, and produced much often ill-informed commentary about how young people's sexual lives were changing. What received less attention were shifting imaginative landscapes and the cinema's catalysing role for emotional tensions between individual and public expressions of masculinity, as the chapter suggests in its exploration of the responses which particular films evoked in some young men.Less

This chapter surveys the pottery found in the Tomb of Karakhamun, looking at dating and classification of general characteristics of the ceramic material. It also highlights variation between areas within the tomb and assesses the functional use of different ceramics. It explains the use-life that is illustrated by the pottery corpus found in TT 223, such as the reuse of the tomb as a burial place into the Ptolemaic period and then domestic use in the Roman, Coptic, and Islamic periods.Less

This chapter considers the difficulties of dating uninscribed and unprovenanced ancient Egyptian sculpture, by examining stylistic characteristics. The author explores this issue through the example of a small three-dimensional head, which he compares to an inscribed relief representation and thus dates to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. He seeks to demonstrate the importance of art history in Egyptology, making the case for it as a principle tool for study of this field.Less

Being married and having children brings certain legal responsibilities and privileges. The current chapter addresses dating and other activities that occur prior to marriage or are related to getting married. In U.S. culture, dating is an important step before marriage and has undergone extreme changes throughout the past century. Once there is a promise to marry other issues are important to consider such as prenuptial agreements, breaches of promise to marry, and the choice of surname for one or both members of the marrying couple. Of course, not all individuals or romantic couples choose marriage. Rates of nonmartial cohabitation rates have continued to rise. These generational changes in premarital and nonmartial behaviors have important implications for contextualizing the current status of marriage.Less

The chapter begins with Sam telling me he wants to leave our marriage and my trying to understand the reasons for our divorce and cope with its overwhelming pain. I begin dating and meet someone new, Ted. I take my first backpack trip and experience the peace of the mountains. I become a Resident Fellow in one of the Stanford dorms.
I become involved in Stanford Hillel and strengthen my commitment to Judaism. I continue to study occupational segregation, this time in bank telling and the Mexican maquiladoras. I take on two new challenges--first chair of the National Council for Research on Women and an associate editor of the journal, Signs, which I help to bring to Stanford. I attempt, unsuccessfully, to get my salary in line with that of my male colleagues. In the chapter’s conclusion, I end my relationship with Ted.Less

This chapter provides an overview of best and promising practices for preventing dating violence and sexual violence among adolescents and young adults. The chapter highlights the need to create prevention curricula that address multiple types of violence; build links between prevention efforts over time, and across professional groups and various contexts; examine the intersection of violence prevention and prevention of other health problems; and connect prevention efforts across a target group’s social relationships.Less

More
The Formation of the Babylonian Talmud is the most detailed and comprehensive scholarly analysis of the processes of composition and editing of the Babylonian Talmud. It is a complete English translation of the original Hebrew monograph published in 2007, with an introduction and annotations. Halivni proposes that the Talmud took shape over a much longer period of time than accepted by both the traditional view and most other critical scholars, and did not reach its final form until about 750 CE. The Talmud consists of many literary strata or layers, with later layers constantly commenting upon and reinterpreting earlier layers. The later layers are qualitatively different from the earlier layers, and were composed not by the named authorities of the Talmud, the Amoraim (200-550 CE), but by anonymous sages known as Stammaim (550-750 CE). The Stammaim were the true author-editors of the Talmud, who reconstructed the reasons underpinning earlier rulings, created the dialectical argumentation characteristic of the Talmud, and formulated the literary units that make up the Talmudic text. The book also discusses the history and development of rabbinic tradition from the Mishnah through the post-Talmudic legal codes; the types of dialectical analysis found in the Babylonian Talmud and in other rabbinic works; and the roles of reciters, transmitters, compilers, transposers and editors in the composition of the Talmud.Less

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an accessible and detailed narrative which will enable collectors, dealers, museum curators and auction house staff to assess and ascribe a date (or dates) to a given instrument. The narrative is chronological and describes, decade by decade, how the technical and aesthetic features of the chronometer movement, box fittings and dial all changed over the course of the century. It also emphasises the importance of recognising that these functional instruments were frequently updated and improved over their many years of service, and that this has to be borne in mind when dating, and that such updates and improvements should be considered as part of the objects valid history and not something to be removed.Less

This chapter introduces the concept of “romantic career:” how people draw on prior romantic and dating experiences to understand their ethnoracial preferences or (lack thereof) for romantic partnership and marriage. This chapter reveals the narratives and accounts that respondents use to make sense of their trajectories towards marrying a person of a different color. This chapter draws on responses to questions about their first and last serious relationships, dating experiences, and “hook-ups.” I found that Carioca spouses were often placed ethnoracial boundaries at the center of desires for romantic partnership. In Los Angeles, there was more silence surrounding ethnoracial preferences across the boundary. However, in both sites, whites enjoyed a “privilege of preference” that their black partners did not. For Cariocas, it meant white women's desires for nego, or “big” black men. In Los Angeles, it was revealed in white men's penchant for “exotic” women across racial categories.Less
