This book places itself at the nexus of current issues of violence, masculinity and power in the postcolonial context and its representation in its films in challenging, normalising, or contesting these major concerns of our times. The essays address the interplay of critical and theoretical insights both from literature and social studies in analysing the films based on societal violence in postcolonial cultures: be it in the context of sophisticated terrorism, suicide bombings, the underworld, any organised crime, mob violence etc. The writers look at the the dynamics of the representation of these issues as cinematic plots and techniques. They draw attention to the affective value of the films in generating and foregrounding the questions of feelings invoked by the onscreen violence, and the impact of this emotive state on the issues of national and cosmopolitan identity formation. Together, the essays enrich both literary studies and social studies with a nuanced borrowing and intermixing of their primary texts and modes of interpretation. This new collection of essays, thus, brings together, in one volume, the interplay of critical and theoretical insights from Literature, Sociology and Media Studies.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞Education beyond the Mesas＜/em＞ is the fascinating story of how generations of Hopi schoolchildren from northeastern Arizona “turned the power” by using compulsory federal education to affirm their way of life and better their community. Sherman Institute in Riverside, California, one of the largest off-reservation boarding schools in the United States, followed other federally funded boarding schools of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in promoting the assimilation of indigenous people into mainstream America. Many Hopi schoolchildren, deeply conversant in Hopi values and traditional education before being sent to Sherman Institute, resisted this program of acculturation. Immersed in learning about another world, generations of Hopi children drew on their culture to skillfully navigate a system designed to change them irrevocably. In fact, not only did the Hopi children strengthen their commitment to their families and communities while away in the “land of oranges,” they used their new skills, fluency in English, and knowledge of politics and economics to help their people when they eventually returned home.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert draws on interviews, archival records, and his own experiences growing up in the Hopi community to offer a powerful account of a quiet, enduring triumph.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Now in a thoroughly revised and updated edition, this classic text presents a comprehensive survey of the many alternative theories that attempt to explain the causes of interstate war. For each theory, Greg Cashman examines the arguments and counterarguments, considers the empirical evidence and counterevidence generated by social-science research, looks at historical applications of the theory, and discusses the theory’s implications for restraining international violence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Among the questions he explores are: Are humans aggressive by nature? Do individual differences among leaders matter? How might poor decision making procedures lead to war? Why do leaders engage in seemingly risky and irrational policies that end in war? Why do states with internal conflicts seem to become entangled in wars with their neighbors? What roles do nationalism and ethnicity play in international conflict? What kinds of countries are most likely to become involved in war? Why have certain pairs of countries been particularly war-prone over the centuries? Can strong states deter war? Can we find any patterns in the way that war breaks out? How do balances of power or changes in balances of power make war more likely? Do social scientists currently have an answer to the question of what causes war?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cashman examines theories of war at the individual, substate, nation-state, dyadic, and international systems level of analysis. Written in a clear and accessible style, this interdisciplinary text will be essential reading for all students of international relations.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞A masterful history of Ireland’s Easter Rising told through the lives of ordinary people who forged a revolutionary generation.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞On Easter Monday, 1916, Irish rebels poured into Dublin’s streets to proclaim an independent republic. Ireland’s long struggle for self-government had suddenly become a radical and bloody fight for independence from Great Britain. Irish nationalists mounted a week-long insurrection, occupying public buildings and creating mayhem before the British army regained control. The Easter Rising provided the spark for the Irish revolution, a turning point in the violent history of Irish independence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this highly original history, acclaimed scholar R. F. Foster explores the human dimension of this pivotal event. He focuses on the ordinary men and women, Yeats’s “vivid faces,” who rose “from counter or desk among grey / Eighteenth-century houses” and took to the streets. A generation made, not born, they rejected the inherited ways of the Church, their bourgeois families, and British rule. They found inspiration in the ideals of socialism and feminism, in new approaches to love, art, and belief.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing on fresh sources, including personal letters and diaries, Foster summons his characters to life. We meet Rosamond Jacob, who escaped provincial Waterford for bustling Dublin. On a jaunt through the city she might visit a modern art gallery, buy cigarettes, or read a radical feminist newspaper. She could practice the Irish language, attend a lecture on Freud, or flirt with a man who would later be executed for his radical activity. These became the roots of a rich life of activism in Irish and women’s causes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Vivid Faces＜/em＞ shows how Rosamond and her peers were galvanized to action by a vertiginous sense of transformation: as one confided to his diary, “I am changing and things around me change.” Politics had fused with the intimacies of love and belief, making the Rising an event not only of the streets but also of the hearts and minds of a generation.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Medienethik, Note: 2, Universit?t Basel, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der heutigen globalen Gesellschaft spielen Massenmedien eine enorme Rolle. Sie besitzen eine Orientierungsfunktion und helfen dem Auditorium allgemeine Fakten und Standpunkte wahrzunehmen. F?lle von Desorientierung durch eine verzerrte Wahrnehmung der Rezipienten sind jedoch auch nicht von Seltenheit. Das Berufsbild des Journalisten, als einem der wenigen Berufe, kann mittels seiner Arbeit eine grosse Auswirkung auf die Meinungsbildung und die zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen einer Gesellschaft haben. Demnach scheint es allzu verst?ndlich zu sein, dass die Mehrheitsgesellschaft moralische Forderungen nach sozial verantwortungsvollem Handeln an Journalisten stellt. Ebenfalls ist das Aufkommen einer journalistischen Ethik, welche das Verhalten der Journalisten reglementiert, unumg?nglich. Als Beurteilungskategorie f?r die Verhaltensweise von Journalisten werden neben der 'Erkl?rung von Pflichten und Rechten der Journalistinnen und Journalisten' oft die Begriffe der 'journalistischen Qualit?t' und der 'professionellen Standards' genannt. Die Frage nach der Unvereinbarkeit zwischen dem Informationsinteresse der ?ffentlichkeit und der manipulativen Berichterstattung, welche im Spannungsfeld zum journalistischen Verantwortungsgef?hl und der Berufsethik stehen, stellen eine gewichtige Problematik dar, auf die im Rahmen einer Seminararbeit nicht opulent eingegangen werden kann.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Nationalism is virtually impossible not to identify oneself with a nation-state, and yet nationalism is historically a modern phenomenon. This reader of classic texts draws on authors spanning a chronological period and from a variety of European countries - including John Stuart Mill and Otto Bauer - to explore the theme of nationalism in Europe. It provides texts long enough for the undergraduate student to study critically, and makes available the central building blocks for theoretical discussion.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. L?nder - Mittelalter, Fr?he Neuzeit, Note: 1,5, Westf?lische Wilhelms-Universit?t M?nster, 14 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Meine Arbeit m?chte die Marginalisierung und Kriminalisierung der Prostituierten in der Gesellschaft vom sp?ten Mittelalter bis zur Fr?hen Neuzeit ins Blickfeld r?cken. Das bedeutet nicht nur, den Wandel der ?ffentlichen Wahrnehmung auf die Prostitution zu thematisieren, sondern auch das Vorgehen gegen die Prostitution aufzuzeigen. Meine zentrale These ist, dass Prostituierte im sp?ten Mittelalter zwar von der Gesellschaft verachtet wurden, aber trotzdem integriert waren. In der Fr?hen Neuzeit wurden Prostituierte nicht nur ausgegrenzt, sondern kriminalisiert. Dabei ist die entworfene These von Peter Schuster zentral, die die Entwicklungslinien des Moralsystems erl?utert: 'Mitteleuropa erlebte im 16. Jahrhundert ein goldenes Zeitalter der ?ffentlichen und privaten Moral', das eine Epoche des 'sittliche[n] Niedergang[s] im Laufe des 15. Jahrhunderts' abl?ste.' Die Art, wie die mittelalterliche Gesellschaft ?ber Prostitution dachte, ist im Allgemeinen nur schwer zu beschreiben. Sie unterscheidet sich nicht nur regional - von Stadt zu Stadt und zeitlich, sondern sogar gegen?ber der einzelnen Prostituierten. Die fahrende Frau wurde in der Regel st?rker diskriminiert als die Dirne des st?dtischen Frauenhauses. Zun?chst werden Indikatoren angef?hrt, die die Einbindung der Prostitution zeigen. Darauf folgen solche, an Hand derer sich die Distanzierung und die damit verbundene Marginalisierung der Dirnen aufzeigen l?sst. Laut Peter Schuster wurde die um 1500 geschehene Wende nicht durch die Reformation hervorgerufen, jedoch war es f?r sie m?glich darauf aufzubauen. Mit der Frage, warum es zu dieser Wende kam und was die ?nderung der Einstellung der Menschen zur Prostitution verursachte, besch?ftige ich mich dann im letzten Teil. Somit wird der Wandel von der selbstbewussten Prostituierten zur verfolgten Hure deutlich dargelegt.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞As Cardinal George aptly states, "This book is an invitation to trust, made by an archbishop who loves his priests."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In recent years, Archbishop Peter Sartain has written to the priests of the Diocese of Joliet (where he served from 2006-10) and the priests of the Archdiocese of Seattle (where he currently ministers).

＜p＞This Handbook is the latest version of a book that was last published in 2003, and has been completely revised to take account of the innumerable legal developments since then. The book contains 26 chapters on topics ranging across the full spectrum of civil, political, social, economic and environmental rights, with particular emphasis on the right not to be discriminated against. It is currently the most comprehensive and practical publication on the state of human rights in Northern Ireland. This is a part of the world where, as well as ongoing issues arising out of the conflict ('emergency laws' are still in place, for example), there are familiar questions concerning the rights of people with poor mental health, the law relating to family and sexual matters, children's rights, education rights, employment rights, housing rights, and social security rights. The contributors to the book are all experts in their field, most of them with years of experience as human rights activists and advisers. The book provides precise information about relevant legislation and case law (on which there are tables) and is fully indexed.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This book is for the student in the introductory course on deviant be havior and in related courses. A wide range of ideas and facts is set forth in a way that should be comprehensible to the student without prior knowledge of this area of study. In Chapter 1, "The Nature of Deviance," various ways of defining deviance are explored and one is settled upon: Deviance is behavior that is unusual, not typical, in a society or group. Chapter 2 is devoted to a preliminary consideration of several main currents of social thought that seek to explain why deviance comes about and is perpetrated. These explanations fall into four broad theo retical categories. First, there are those theories that view the major sources of deviance as having to do with the extent to which individ uals are bound into or dissociated from the group; these are termed social integration theories. Second, there are the cultural support the ories, which specify that there are subcultures of deviance, that is, bod ies of customs and values that advocate a given form of deviance and are socially transmitted from one person to another through the learn ing process. Third, there are social disorganization and conflict theo ries, which focus on the ways in which a lack of group organization and the presence of broad social and cultural conflicts bring about de viance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞An acclaimed true-crime author takes on his toughest project of all-- writing about a murderer who happens to be his son.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When a hideous murder makes the headlines, a barrage of questions usually appears in its wake: Why did this happen? Could it have been prevented? What kind of family was the criminal from? Are his parents in some way to blame? Any crime writer worth his salt would attempt to answer these questions-- but how do you address such questions when the killer is your own son?＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a single father raising two sons, Carlton Stowers did his best to instill in his boys a healthy sense of right and wrong. But with Anson, his oldest, it would prove to be an ongoing uphill battle. At a young age, Anson began to angrily shun authority, and soon became involved with a number of illicit activities, including drugs, forgery, and theft.

＜p＞This book examines the underlying theoretical issues concerning the nature of political freedom. Arguing that most previous discussions of such freedom have been too narrowly focused, it explores both conservativism from Edmund Burke to its present resurgence, the radical tradition of Karl Marx, as well as the orthodox liberal model of freedom of John Locke, John Stuart Mill and Isaiah Berlin. ＜em＞Political Freedom＜/em＞ argues that these three accounts of political freedom - conservative, liberal and radical - all have internal weaknesses which render them unsatisfactory.＜br /＞ In the second part of the book George Brenkert develops an alternative theory of political freedom. Using the guiding concept of empowerment, his model explores individual rights, democratic participation in government and workplace, and the need to provide the material and educational resources to allow individuals to effectively exercise their rights to self-determination. It is a clear and bold attack on the view that there is no link between freedom and power.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
