Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

At the doorstep of the twenty-first century one would expect that medieval concepts such as blood libel the accusation that Jews kill children to use their blood in religious ritual would have been discarded by any civilized human being. Certainly in the Christian world where the story originated and endured for centuries modern attitudes have nearly erased these barbaric accusations. But in Arab and Islamic worlds where enmity towards Israel and Zionism has conditioned beliefs attitudes positions and fantasies blood libel and similar charges are still part of life. Most people are unaware of the history of blood libel and do not perceive links between it and many of the false accusations currently hurled against the state of Israel. Raphael Israeli argues that individuals and organizations guilty of human rights crimes project crimes onto Israel to avoid awareness of their own guilt. Certainly when countries ruled by dictators set the agenda of the UN Council for human rights Israel is consistently censured and condemned. Accusations of apartheid and charges of discrimination against Muslims are frequently made. Israel is accused of plots against Muslims in order to harm their productive sectors of using weapons of mass destruction to commit genocide against Arabs of injecting poisonous substances into Palestinian children of poisoning Arab lands under the guise of agricultural aid and of laying siege to peaceful citizens. All of these charges are derivatives of blood libel and have been adopted by Middle East Jihadists in their struggle against Israel. This volume aims to explain the origins of the charge of blood libel and define the ways its derivatives have achieved acceptance in certain parts of the world today. | Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

In this volume the author argues that blood was crucially a means by which dramatists negotiated shifting contours of domesticity in 16th and 17th century England. Early modern English drama vividly addressed contemporary debates over an expanding idea of the domestic which encompassed the domus as well as sex parenthood household order the relationship between home and state and the connections between family honor and national identity. The author contends that the domestic ideology expressed by theatrical depictions of marriage and household order is one built on the simultaneous familiarity and violence inherent to blood. The theatrical relation between blood and home is far more intricate than the idealized language of the familial bloodline; the home was itself a bloody place with domestic bloodstains signifying a range of experiences including religious worship sex murder birth healing and holy justice. Focusing on four bleeding figures—the Bleeding Bride Bleeding Husband Bleeding Child and Bleeding Patient—the author argues that the household blood of the early modern stage not only expressed the violence and conflict occasioned by domestic ideology but also established the home as a site that alternately reified and challenged patriarchal authority. | Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

Prostitution Pornography and Trafficking in Women Israel's Blood Money

This book critically analyzes the sex industry in Israel using feminist concepts and scholarship to elaborate on the power of prostitution to shape a world in which women are objects for fulfilling men's desires. A comprehensive collection of research-based articles that examine prostitution trafficking in women and pornography from divergent disciplinary angles it reveals the interconnectedness of these three aspects of the sex trade which objectifies commercializes and exploits human – and in particular women’s – sexuality.

With case studies including the conspicuous context of migration that attracts sex traffickers the liberal discourse introduced by cinema the media and the arts that serve to legitimate prostitution and pornography the chauvinist-macho culture that perceives and treats women as sex objects and the issues of male prostitution and men as clients Prostitution Pornography and Trafficking in Women: Israel’s Blood Money constitutes a study of Israel as a unique context in which the sex trade can prosper in spite of geographical religious and institutional constraints.

Émile Durkheim and the Birth of the Gods Clans Incest Totems Phratries Hordes Mana Taboos Corroborees Sodalities Menstrual Blood A

The Birth of the Gods is dedicated to Durkheim's effort to understand the basis of social integration. Unlike most social scientists then and now Durkheim concluded that humans are naturally more individualistic than collectivistic that the primal social unit for humans is the macro-level unit ('the horde') rather than the family and that social cohesion is easily disrupted by human self-interest. Hence for Durkheim one of the gravest problems facing sociology is how to mold these human proclivities to serve the collective good. The analysis of elementary religions Durkheim believed would allow social scientists to see the fundamental basis of solidarity in human societies built around collective representations totems marking sacred forces and emotion-arousing rituals directed at these totems. The first half of the book traces the key influences and events that led Durkheim to embrace such novel generalizations. The second part makes a significant contribution to sociological theory with an analysis that essentially tests Durkheim's core assumptions using cladistic analysis social network tools and theory and data on humans closest living relatives—the great apes. Maryanski marshals hard data from primatology paleontology archaeology genetics and neuroscience that enlightens and surprisingly confirms many of Durkheim’s speculations. These data show that integration among both humans and great apes is not so much group or kin oriented per se but orientation to a community standing outside each individual that includes a sense of self but also encompassing a cognitive awareness of a sense of community or a connectedness that transcends sensory reality and concrete social relations. This community complex as Maryanski terms it is what Durkheim was beginning to see although he did not have the data to buttress his arguments as Maryanski is able to do. | Émile Durkheim and the Birth of the Gods Clans Incest Totems Phratries Hordes Mana Taboos Corroborees Sodalities Menstrual Blood A

Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia

Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia

This book examines secessionist terrorism in a comparative context across Europe and Eurasia. The volume seeks to uncover comparative linkages between terrorism and secessionism; specifically examining terrorist organizations that also have a political goal of independence. It examines a wide range of case studies including the IRA in Northern Ireland ETA in the Basque Country FLNC in Corsica and ARD in Brittany KLA in Kosovo PKK and TAK in Turkish Kurdistan and IK in Chechnya. In doing so the book shows the linkages in terrorist tactics and demands as well as when and how ceasefires come into place. Ultimately none of the terrorist organizations studied here has obtained their maximalist goal of gaining independence but each has caused significant bloodshed and has contributed to the debate on the future of governance in Europe and Eurasia. The major strength of this format is to glean wider lessons on ethno-nationalism as well as the causes and outcomes of terrorist actions. Each case study also updates the literature on the individual cases to provide the most recent account of events in these countries. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and political violence ethnic conflict nationalism European politics and International Relations in general. | Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia

D. H. Lawrence and Psychoanalysis

D. H. Lawrence and Psychoanalysis

This book opens out a wholly new field of enquiry within a familiar subject: it offers a detailed – yet eminently readable – historical investigation of a kind never yet undertaken of the impact of psychoanalysis (at a crucial moment of its history) on the thinking and writing of D. H. Lawrence. It considers the impact on his writing through his relationship with Frieda Weekley of the maverick Austrian analyst Otto Gross; it situates the great works of 1911-20 in relation to the controversial issues at stake in the Freud-Jung quarrel about which his good friend the English psychoanalyst David Eder kept him informed; and it explores his sympathy with the maverick American analyst Trigant Burrow. It is a study to interest a literary audience by its close reading of Lawrence’s texts and a psychoanalytic audience by its detailed consideration of the contribution made to contemporary debate by three comparatively neglected analytic thinkers. | D.

Opinions Publics and Pressure Groups An Essay on 'Vox Populi' and Representative Government

Opinions Publics and Pressure Groups An Essay on 'Vox Populi' and Representative Government

In the late 1960s representative democracy was under fire from various directions even in countries like Britain and America where it had appeared to be most secure and successful. Must democracy be a sham either because of the power of pressure groups and other established decision-makers or because ‘the people’ are too ignorant and irrational? What in any case does or can representative government mean in a complex industrial society – and what does it mean to be rational in politics? It is to these and other vital issues that this book originally published in 1970 directs itself. In the course of their argument the authors who feel no contradiction between their academic and their ‘radical democratic’ commitments draw extensively upon recent empirical studies of voting pressure groups and of the sociological and social psychological aspects of political behaviour in Britain and the USA at the time. Problems of the nature of such evidence the conduct of attitude surveys and opinion polls and the relationship between modern research and the traditional themes of political theory are also analysed. | Opinions Publics and Pressure Groups An Essay on 'Vox Populi' and Representative Government

A Clinician’s Guide to Functional Neurological Disorder A Practical Neuropsychological Approach

A Clinician’s Guide to Functional Neurological Disorder A Practical Neuropsychological Approach

This manual for clinicians presents a ground-breaking accessible and unifying new model for understanding functional neurological disorder (FND) that bridges the gap between theoretical FND-specific models and the more practical but non-FND-specific Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) models. Grounded in psychology the Pressure Cooker Model provides a clear metaphor for FND focusing on intra-individual and inter-individual cognitive emotional and behavioural processes. Developed based on years of clinical experience in the field it is applicable to the assessment and treatment of every type of FND. Viewed as a systemic condition with unique psychosocial features the book will describe the rationale for radically transforming FND recovery by providing a treatment model that aims to resolve emotion dysregulation processes and repair relationships between the person and the system. It uses a unifying framework to guide the steps of intervention and can be adapted for work in a multidisciplinary team context to facilitate communication between disciplines. Enriched with case studies and research data the book also highlights a plethora of clinical tools and strategies based on the Pressure Cooker Model as well as contextualising its position alongside CBT models. This manual is instrumental in educating and treating people with FND. It offers essential guidance for neuropsychologists neuropsychiatrists and other health professionals as well as students in these fields. | A Clinician’s Guide to Functional Neurological Disorder A Practical Neuropsychological Approach

Nouveau-riche Nationalism and Multiculturalism in Korea A media narrative analysis

The unprecedented economic success of South Korea since the 1990s has led in turn to a large increase in the number of immigrants and foreign workers in Korean industries. This book describes and explains the experiences of discrimination and racism that foreigners and ‘new’ Koreans have faced in a multicultural South Korea. It looks at how society has treated the foreigners and what their experiences have been given that common discourse about race in Korea surrounds issues of Korean heterogeneity and pure blood nationalism. Starting with critiques of Korean scholarship and policy framework on multiculturalism this book argues for the need to revisit the most fundamental aspect of multiculturalism: the host population’s ability to respect new comers rather than discriminate against them. The author employs a critical realist understanding of racism and attempts to identify long-lasting institutional factors which make Korean society less than welcoming ‘new’ or temporary Koreans. A large number of new reportages are identified and systematically analysed based on the principles of grounded theory method. The findings show that nouveau-riche nationalism and pure-blood nationalism are widely practised when Koreans deal with ‘foreigners’. As a newly industrialised and highly successful nation Korean society is still in transition and treats foreigners according to economic standard of their countries of origin. As one of the very first books in English about foreigners’ experiences of Korean nationalism multiculturalism and discrimination it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Sociology Ethnic studies Asian studies Korean studies Media studies and Cultural studies. | Nouveau-riche Nationalism and Multiculturalism in Korea A media narrative analysis
