A History of Early Film V2 An Established Industry (1907-14)

Much of the discussion in the trade magazines revolved around economic and commercial subjects including expenses incurred in complying with new laws and the damage caused by irresponsible promoters. Among the material included is a complete reprint of the 1913 edition of Colin Bennett's The Handbook of Kinematography. Technical production is covered with a section on micro-kinematography tele-kinematography and general natural history filming. Film exhibition is also discussed and a final chapter covers coyright and censorship. | A History of Early Film V2 An Established Industry (1907-14)

Positive Ethics in Economics Volume 14 Praxiology: The International Annual of Practical Philosophy and Methodology

Positive Ethics in Economics Volume 14 Praxiology: The International Annual of Practical Philosophy and Methodology

Economics is often accused of being a-ethical-lacking a moral perspective-if not altogether immoral. Its detractors criticize economic models of pure and perfect competition and claim that economics should be concerned with social effects and strive to be equitable. Yet these critics fail to understand that the discipline has many dimensions. Economics has also developed a group of concerns directly related to ethics. The presence of practical ethics is evident in the economic analysis of behavior that incorporates ethical preference altruism and a responsible calculation based on norms. It is fair today that economics differentiates ethics from purely financial matters and the discipline can be associated with morality in man's daily life. Volume 14 of the distinguished Praxiology series examine the concept of positive ethics in economics. While normative ethics moralizes economics trying to render it more just positive ethics is first and foremost a model for the construction of theoretical economic reasoning: It reflects on ethical practices within economics and introduces a model of reasoning that takes individual ethical behavior and its aftereffects into account. The book is divided into three parts. In Altruism the contributors discuss the notion of unselfish concern for the welfare of others and its place in economic practice. In Commitment the authors discuss reason as being central to economic theory as well as the position of ethical behavior. In Responsibility the idea that man is not an island unto himself but a being involved in a set of relationships is examined. If a person is simultaneously responsible for himself and others then how far does his responsibility extend?Essays on Positive Ethics in Economics is thought-provoking volume that will be of interest to economists policymakers philosophers and students of ethics and morality. JÚr¶me Ballet is senior lecturer in economics at the University of Versailles and senior research fellow at the C3ED (Economics and Ethics Center for Environment and Development). He is the editor of the online journal Ethics and Economics and has published several books and articles on ethics and economics. Damien Bazin is a research fellow at the C3ED where his specialization is economic philosophy.

The Open Access version of this book available at http://www. taylorfrancis. com has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4. 0 license. This book focuses on the political participation and grassroots mobilization of immigrants and racialized communities in the European context. Based on extensive data collected in Italy it explores the role that alliances among pro-immigrant groups play in shaping political participation asking why and how immigrant activists mobilize in hostile environments why and how they create alliances with some white allies rather than others and what might explain variations in forms of political participation and grassroots mobilization at the local level. Using social movement critical race and post-colonial theories the author examines the ways in which both institutional and non-institutional actors including immigrant activists become involved and compete in the local arena over immigration and integration issues and assesses the mechanisms by which both conventional and non-conventional forms of participation are made possible or obstructed. By placing immigrant activists at the center of the analysis the book offers a valuable and novel insider perspective on political activism and the claims-making of marginalized groups. It also demonstrates how pro-immigrant groups can play a role in racializing immigrant activists. A study of the effects on participation in social mobilization of coalitions conflicts and racialization processes among pro-immigrant groups and immigrant activists this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology political science and political sociology with interests in migration ethnic and racial relations social movements and local governance. | Reframing Immigrant Resistance Alliances Conflicts and Racialization in Italy

Spain and Argentina in the First World War Transnational Neutralities

Spain and Argentina in the First World War Transnational Neutralities

This is the first book that analyzes the transnational impact of the Great War simultaneously on two countries Spain and Argentina that remained neutral throughout the conflict. Both countries were very relevant in the conception of propaganda and policies of belligerent countries such as France Germany and Great Britain and showed that the conflict had a global influence and affected deeply local political and cultural processes even in areas geographically distant from the trenches. Within this framework this book is focused on three aspects that are analyzed dynamically throughout the whole war from a transnational perspective: neutrality as a space of dispute between pro-Allies and pro-German sectors and its relation with local politics the debate about what positions should be assumed in order to guarantee a world without war and the polemics on the ideas of nations and supra-nations (Hispanism Latinism Pan-Americanism). The conclusions of the book highlight that the radicalization that exploded in 1917 in both countries was fundamental in shaping the political radicalization of the last months of the conflict and the postwar period. As happened in Europe the Great War did not finish in 1918 and its traces continued in the 1920s and 1930s. | Spain and Argentina in the First World War Transnational Neutralities
