This chapter examines the amicable relationship between the famously pious King Sigismund and his Lutheran vassal and nephew—perhaps the most extreme manifestation of the Crown’s religious ‘toleration’ in this reign. The 1525 Treaty of Kraków made peace between the Polish monarchy and the Teutonic Order in Prussia after centuries of war; it also shocked Christendom by creating Europe’s first Lutheran state, converting the Order’s lands into a secular duchy ruled by Albrecht of Brandenburg-Ansbach. In December 1525, Duke Albrecht enacted a pioneering Lutheran reform of his territory. The chapter identifies nine principles of coexistence which tacitly governed this relationship, and seeks to account for the King’s ‘tolerant’ stance—stressing the role of royal kinship, King Sigismund’s explicit defences of freedom of conscience (belief), and his pre-confessional understanding of Catholicism in which the Lutheran Albrecht was still a fellow member of the universal church.

AbstractThis paper explores the anthropological implications of the notion of adultery by showing how it can improve our understanding of a local debate about descent, migration and local responses to it, among communities belonging to the Dagara of northwestern Ghana. Using a case study of group-wife adultery, that is, a sexual affair between a man and the wife of a fellow member of the same patrilineal descent group in the context of male migration, the paper highlights the tension between a husband's sexual rights over his wife and those of his descent group over the wife's procreation. It further examines the rituals surrounding the resolution of the case and the arguments generated by it as a prism through which to view social change and Dagara social organization. An evaluation of the community views about spousal separation, the punishment associated with group-wife adultery and the multiple responses of its members to the offence is presented with ethnographic examples.

Thanks for Sharing (2012) and Don Jon (2013), share similarities in their representation of the lives of unmarried men who are all approaching midlife, and who are all struggling to build meaningful, monogamous, long term attachments with women. In Thanks for Sharing, Adam (Mark Ruffalo) is addicted to brief encounters with numerous partners in contexts devoid of emotional intimacy, while a fellow member of his sex addicts support group, Neil (Josh Gad), struggles with a compulsion to touching strangers in public locations. In counterpoint, Don Jon charts the protagonist’s insatiable consumption of online pornography, since Jon believes that the virtual domain provides a far superior sexual experience than anything, he could find in real life encounters with women. This article is concerned with the relationship between sex addiction and masculinity, and how neoliberalism is imbued in the characters’ embodiment of masculinity regardless of their divergent social backgrounds.

On the Process of Othering. European Identity in Opposition to Otherness The process of othering is the process of assigning a group or individual the role of the Other and creating one’s own identity in opposition to it. It deprives Others of the characteristics of “the same”: reason, dignity, love, pride, heroism, nobility, and ultimately human rights, regardless of whether the Other is a racial or religious group, a sexual minority or a nation. The process of othering can take a form of exploitation, oppression and even genocide because, as Richard Rorty put it, everything changes who is a fellow member of our moral community. Stanisław Konopacki describes it in relation to the question of European identity, built in opposition to Otherness. This opposition turns out to be extremely inspiring for an analysis of contemporary crises in the European Union. The paper presents a theoretical analysis of the process itself, its anthropological sources, and its consequences for the Habermas project of the contemporary European public sphere.

July 1, 1954, marks a milestone in the history of the American Academy of Pediatrics. For 22 years Doctor Hugh McCulloch has served the Academy, first as co-editor of the Journal of Pediatrics and since the establishment in 1948 of our own publication, Pediatrics, as Editor-in-Chief. Throughout his long term of office he has been an outstanding editor and in addition has found time to serve the Academy in many other ways. He was nominated by the Academy for membership on the American Board of Pediatrics and served as Chairman of the Committee on Rheumatic Fever, to mention only a few of his many activities. Few men have given as much of themselves to pediatrics and American medicine. Since he first served as a member of the Committee on Publication in 1931, Doctor McCulloch has been an inspiration to everyone who has had an opportunity to work with him. His superior qualities of executive ability and imagination have been important factors in establishing Pediatrics as an outstanding publication. Doctor McCulloch has found it necessary to ask to be relieved as Editor-in-Chief because of increasing demands on his time. It was with sincere regret and profound appreciation of Doctor McCulloch's contributions to the American Academy of Pediatrics that the Executive Board acceded to his request. It is impossible to express the magnitude of the debt that the Academy owes Doctor McCulloch for his many years of service. With the selection of Doctor Charles D. May as Editor-in-Chief, the Executive Board presents to its members a fellow member of the Academy who has a broad viewpoint of the responsibilities of the position. He is typical of the new leadership which steadily develops within the Academy and upon which we depend for even greater advances in the future.

I can draw no other conclusion from this report than that the results of our survey, with which nearly every one of us cooperated wholeheartely and honestly, are immediately being perverted, distorted, twisted, and prostituted to the frank, bold, shameless, support of an idealogy as foreign to everything which has gone to make American medicine what it is today—to make America what she is today—as were the tactics and philosophy of Hitler and Mussolini. This report, which would picture the medical care of American children as grossly inadequate, can only be drawn by comparing our present real status with an ideal, unreal, Utopian, starry-eyed-dreamer's view of a never-yet-attained state of perfection. The real fact of the excellence of life for America's children and the enormous expansion of America's child care compared with that of any other country is completely ignored! The authors of this report must be either stupid, or visionary, and our Executive Board, which approved the report, must suffer from one or both of the same disastrous defects. It is up to us, the common members of the American Academy of Pediatrics, to make ourselves heard in the high places of our organization immediately and with such vigor and unanimity that this report in its entirety will be disapproved and heartily condemned, and another committee appointed which will approach this problem realistically. The approval of this damnable report by the Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics places us squarely in the disgraceful, unenviable, and intolerable position of being the first organized group of reputable and honorable American physicians to endorse officially a report and recommendations which are as unAmerican as the machinations of the Kremlin. This insult to ourselves, to our fellow American Physicians, to this great free nation of ours—this desecration of LIBERTY must be promptly, decisively, and completely wiped from our record or I, for one, shall resign from the Organization. Fellow member of the once American Academy of Pediatrics, we have been most disgracefully betrayed! For all of you who see the full and hideously dangerous implications of this report I suggest the following procedures: (1) Write your opinion immediately to your District Chairman, to our President, or both, demanding an immediate emergency meeting of our Executive Board to rescind its approval of the report and then pass a strong resolution of total condemnation. (2) Send a copy of your letter to me and the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons will give nation wide publicity to the tabulated results. (3) Inform your colleagues (members and non-members of the Academy) of the nature of this report, discuss it, and publicize as widely as you can its total condemnation. For those of you who may not sense the full importance of the report I append a bibliography for your further study and enlightenment. Obtain and read this material promptly, then send in your letters as soon as possible. You may receive promptly the entire bibliography (except books 7 and 8) from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, 360 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, at a cost of $1.35. For those of you who will not think or act I can do nothing except to hope your numbers are few and that your awakening will not be long delayed.
