The purpose of this essay is to both discuss commands as a species of speech act and to discuss commands within the broader framework of how they are used and reacted to.

Every creature builds its niche in engagement with its environment. Such engagements, repeated over time, invariably result in stable exchanges supporting a particular species. Every species maintains its exchanges using its unique sensorium, its own aggregated set of sensory channels it uses to see and frame the world around it. Our sensorium dictates the unique way we discover our worlds. It determines the reach, the range, the limits, the apprehended spectra, the blind spots, and the sutures among the sensory channels by which we gain inbound impressions of our wider environs. As well, our sensorium conditions how we think, judge, and how we launch outbound action, as we build our very human exchanges into societies. It engraves and projects itself on both the learnings and initiatives we deploy to impose meaning and intent onto our wider human world. It determines our structures, our processes and the materiel we use to build out our socially networked exchanges. In the economic realm, these exchanges, structured uniquely by our very human sensorium, become formalized as Markets. Understanding our sensorium, seeing its projective power, its emergent properties, and its corresponding fault lines and tectonic zones as it governs and even dictates our social structures, can greatly clarify our understanding of market architecture itself: structure, process, and materiel. With these deep landmarks mapped out, we can catalyze great progress in further consolidating a robust Science of Service and Service Innovation. Spurring that on is the dominant intent and exploration of this book.

This book focuses on the cross-currents and points of contact in film production among so-called Hispanic countries (Spain, Portugal and Latin America), and in particular the impact that co-production and supranational funding initiatives are having on both the film industries and the films of Latin America in the twenty-first century. Together with chapters that discuss and further develop transnational approaches to reading films in the Hispanic and Latin American context, the volume includes chapters that focus on funding initiatives, such as IBERMEDIA, that are aimed at Spain, Portugal and Latin America. An analysis of such initiatives facilitates a nuanced discussion of the range of meanings afforded to the term transnationalism: from the workings of those driven by economic imperatives, such as co-productions and 'Hispanic' film festivals, to the cultural, for example the invention of a marketable 'Latinamericaness' in Spain, or a 'Hispanic aesthetic' elsewhere.

White Chief, Black Lords explores the tensions and contradictions between the British colonial civilizing mission and the practice of indirect rule. While the colonial imperative was to transform colonized societies and bring them within "civilized" norms, fiscal limitations frequently resulted in ruling through indigenous authorities and customs. In this book, Thomas McClendon analyzes this deep contradiction by looking at several crises and key turning points in the early decades of colonial rule in the British colony of Natal, later part of South Africa. He focuses a keen eye on the tenure of Theophilus Shepstone as that colony's Secretary for Native affairs, examining his interactions with subject African communities.
In a series of case studies, including high drama over rebellions by African "chiefs" and their followers and intense debates over the control of witchcraft, White Chief, Black Lords shows that these colonial imperatives led to a self-defeating conundrum. In the process of attempting to rule through African leaders and norms yet to discipline and transform African subjects, the colonial state inevitably was itself transformed and became, in part, an African state. McClendon concludes by spotlighting the continuing importance of these unresolved contradictions in post-apartheid South Africa.

Thomas McClendon is Professor of History at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.
