Just Hierarchy - Daniel A. Bell - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Just Hierarchy - Daniel A. Bell - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

A trenchant defense of hierarchy in different spheres of our lives, from the personal to the politicalAll complex and large-scale societies are organized along certain hierarchies, but the concept of hierarchy has become almost taboo in the modern world. Just Hierarchy contends that this stigma is a mistake. In fact, as Daniel Bell and Wang Pei show, it is neither possible nor advisable to do away with social hierarchies. Drawing their arguments from Chinese thought and culture as well as other philosophies and traditions, Bell and Wang ask which forms of hierarchy are justified and how these can serve morally desirable goals. They look at ways of promoting just forms of hierarchy while minimizing the influence of unjust ones, such as those based on race, sex, or caste. Which hierarchical relations are morally justified and why? Bell and Wang argue that it depends on the nature of the social relation and context. Different hierarchical principles ought to govern different kinds of social relations: what justifies hierarchy among intimates is different from what justifies hierarchy among citizens, countries, humans and animals, and humans and intelligent machines. Morally justified hierarchies can and should govern different spheres of our social lives, though these will be very different from the unjust hierarchies that have governed us in the past. A vigorous, systematic defense of hierarchy in the modern world, Just Hierarchy examines how hierarchical social relations can have a useful purpose, not only in personal domains but also in larger political realms.

Just in Time / Giusto in tempo - - Bog - Mimesis International - Plusbog.dk

Just in Time / Giusto in tempo - - Bog - Mimesis International - Plusbog.dk

The volume contains the proceedings of an international conference exploring the concept of ''contemporaneity'' from different perspectives and in reference to different disciplinary fields (philosophy, literature and art theory). In the chronological motion of historiography, contemporaneity is conceptualised as simply being the present era, one that follows modernity. Such thinking overlooks a more complex understanding of the contemporary, which is, in its original meaning, the co-presence of different times, a disconnection of temporal continuity, a rupture in the present, which becomes a meeting point where the past and the future intersect. The contemporary is untimely and, in this sense, is just in time, as it relates to time through anachronism. It is more present than the present of actuality.

A Different Wolf - Deborah Anne Tunney - Bog - McGill-Queen's University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Different Wolf - Deborah Anne Tunney - Bog - McGill-Queen's University Press - Plusbog.dk

In her debut poetry collection, Deborah-Anne Tunney delves into the life and work of one of the twentieth century''s most influential film directors, Alfred Hitchcock. Just as Hitchcock''s work looks unflinchingly at some of the darkest elements of human nature, A Different Wolf turns a lens on the director himself, revealing the interplay between the social mores of his time and Hitchcock''s distinctive psychological makeup. A Different Wolf views the iconic director''s cinematic masterpieces through the optics of the poet''s personal quest for meaning. Tunney reveals how guilt and innocence, universal and timeless subjects, work to define character and motivate plot. Other poems illustrate Hitchcock''s presentation of women as a sign of his fixations, but also as a product of his era. His desire to expose the qualities of time - how film can slow it down or speed it up, qualities he considered filmmaking''s most important tool - points to the deep resonance of his work. Providing a sharp-eyed analysis of Hitchcock''s life and art, A Different Wolf offers a unique take on the filmmaker''s enduring relevance.

Recruiting and Retaining Culturally Different Students in Gifted Education - Donna Y. Ford - Bog - Prufrock Press - Plusbog.dk

Recruiting and Retaining Culturally Different Students in Gifted Education - Donna Y. Ford - Bog - Prufrock Press - Plusbog.dk

One pervasive educational issue is the national underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic students in gifted education. Virtually every school district is grappling with having too few students from these groups identified as gifted and served in gifted classes and programs. Recruiting and Retaining Culturally Different Students in Gifted Education addresses this long-standing national problem through the dual lens of recruitment and retention. The focus is on how to equitably recruit (screen, refer, and/or assess) culturally different students and, just as importantly, to retain them. Recruitment and retention require providing academic, cultural, and social supports to culturally different students and ensuring that educators are willing and able to address issues and barriers. No time is better than now to address and correct the underachievement albatross, and the focus on recruitment and retention holds the greatest promise.Nominated for a 2014 NAACP Image Award in the Outstanding Literary Work-Instructional Category
