A Perfect Union? Television and the Winning of Same-Sex Marriage

A Perfect Union? Television and the Winning of Same-Sex Marriage

On June 26 2015 Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy declared same-sex marriage is so ordered across the United States. The day will no doubt be remembered as a landmark shift in how U. S. society views and validates marriage and romantic relationships. But the shift would not have happened without an arguably more important but already forgotten shift four years earlier that saw unprecedented movement in public attitudes alongside record amounts of television representation of LGBQ relationships. Situated at this intersection of legislative attitudinal and representational change A Perfect Union? presents analyses of popular programmes such as Modern Family Grey’s Anatomy The Good Wife Glee Desperate Housewives and House in order to tackle crucial ethical questions regarding the impact of heterosexual knowledges on the rendering of same-sex relationships as relatable and respectable – portraits of heteronormativity that reproduce the masculine/feminine binary monogamous coupledom and the raising of children. Focusing on the connection between heteronormativity and government legitimacy Cory Albertson deftly examines television’s privileging of certain forms of relationships over others shedding light on the reproduction of everyday power relations within LGBQ relationships that hinge on issues of race sexuality class and gender. An engaging study of media constructions of same-sex relationships and the shaping of public expectations and attitudes A Perfect Union? is a must-read for scholars of sociology media and cultural studies and popular culture with interests in gender sexuality and the family. | A Perfect Union?

Greek Rebetiko from a Psychocultural Perspective Same Songs Changing Minds

Greek Rebetiko from a Psychocultural Perspective Same Songs Changing Minds

Greek Rebetiko from a Psychocultural Perspective: Same Songs Changing Minds examines the ways in which audiences in present-day Greece and Turkey perceive and use the Greek popular song genre rebetiko to cultivate specific cultural habits and identities. In the past rebetiko has been associated chiefly with the lower strata of Greek society. But Daniel Koglin approaches the subject from a different perspective exploring the mythological and ritual aspects of rebetiko which intellectual elites on both sides of the Aegean Sea have adapted to their own world views in our age of globalized consumption. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods from ethnomusicology ritual studies conceptual history and music psychology Koglin casts light on the role played by national perceptions in the processes of music production and consumption. His analysis reveals that rebetiko persistently oscillates between conceptual categories: it is a music both ours and theirs marginal and mainstream joyful and grievous sacred and profane. The study culminates in the thesis that this semantic multistability is not only a key concept to understanding the ongoing popularity of rebetiko in Greece and its recent renaissance in Turkey but also a fundamental aspect of the human experience on the south-eastern borders of Europe. | Greek Rebetiko from a Psychocultural Perspective Same Songs Changing Minds

It focuses on the carpet as a commodity which crosses the boundaries of private and public religious and secular culture and economy modern and traditional home and diaspora and art and commodity to tell the story of transnational interconnectivity. Bringing transnational feminist cultural studies ethnography and network studies within the same frame of reference this book sheds light on Orientalia as civilizational objects that emerged as commodities in the encounter between the West and the many directly or indirectly colonized Middle Eastern and West Asian cultures focusing on the specific example of Persian carpets as some of the most extensively valued and traded objects since colonial modernity. | Persian Carpets The Nation as a Transnational Commodity

Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices

Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices

Setting up cultural encounters is a widespread intervention strategy employed to diffuse conflicts and manage difficulties related to diversity. These organised cultural encounters bring together people of different backgrounds in order to promote peaceful coexistence and inclusion. These transformative aims relate to the participants but are often also expected to spill over into the society community or context addressed by the encounter. As a category ‘Organised Cultural Encounters’ draws together a variety of activities and events such as multicultural festivals dialogue initiatives diversity training and inclusion projects – activities that are generally not considered to be of the same kind. Most of the existing literature on these types of encounters is instrumental and has an overall emphasis on evaluations in terms of outcome or success rate. This book goes beyond evaluations and the contributors pose and debate theoretical and methodological questions and analyse the practices and performativities of particular encounters. Taken together it makes an important contribution to the theorisation and analysis of intercultural relations and negotiations. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies. | Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices

The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Unknown Relatives analyses a large body of Victorian literary texts dealing with the topic of Catholicism and Catholics written from the non-Catholic perspective. The readings of these texts are inspired by psychoanalytic criticism primarily by the work of Freud and Kristeva. Kristeva’s work on abjection the paradoxical repulsion mixed with attraction provides the framework for the first part of the book which argues that Victorian depictions of Catholicism exhibit the same mixture of fascination and attraction. The second part of the book is constructed largely around Freud’s idea of the uncanny showing how Catholicism was cast in the role of the archaic religion profoundly strange and yet at the same time somehow familiar. The book includes the readings of a number of Victorian authors both canonical (Charlotte Brontë William Thackeray Charles Dickens) and lesser-known ones (George Borrow John Shorthouse Mrs Humphry Ward). The book will be of interest to scholars of cultural literary and religious studies as well as to readers interested in the matters of religion in literature and religious prejudice. | The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition

Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition

Cognitive neuropsychological research studies of people with cognitive deficits have typically been directed either at investigating methods of intervention or at furthering our understanding of normal and impaired cognition. This book reports on research that combines these goals using studies that use intervention as a ‘tool’ for investigating hypotheses about the functioning of the human cognitive system. The introductory chapter discusses some of the unique and more general difficulties that this approach faces while the five reports describe intervention studies with children and adults with cognitive impairments – studies which investigate current theories of cognition. The studies demonstrate that the use of intervention to study cognition is a promising and valuable methodology. Aiming to promote wider use of these combined methods this book makes it clear that while the approach faces various methodological and interpretative challenges it has the advantage of providing advances on issues of theory while at the same time providing treatment to participants and bringing together what have been largely separate research traditions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology. | Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition

Psychoanalysis as an Ethical Process

Psychoanalysis as an Ethical Process

What role does ethics play in the practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy? For most of its history psychoanalysis has viewed ethics as a side issue in clinical work—occasionally relevant but not central to therapeutic action. In Psychoanalysis as an Ethical Process Robert Drozek highlights the foundational importance of ethical experience in the therapeutic relationship as well as the role that ethical commitments have played in inspiring what has been called the relational turn in psychoanalysis. Using vivid clinical examples from the treatment of patients with severe personality disorders Drozek sketches out an ethically grounded vision of analytic process wherein analyst and patient are engaged in the co-construction of an intersubjective space that is progressively more consistent with their intrinsic worth as human beings. Psychoanalysis can thus be seen as a unique vehicle for therapeutic and ethical change leading to a dramatic expansion of agency altruism and self-esteem for both participants. By bringing our analytic theories into closer contact with our ethical experiences as human beings we can connect more fully with the fundamental humanity that unites us with our patients and that serves as the basis for deep and lasting therapeutic change. This book will be of interest to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts as well as scholars in ethical theory and philosophy.

Soldiers as Statesmen

Soldiers as Statesmen

‘The Duke is a soldier – a bad education for a statesmen in a free country’. Sir Walter Scott’s fear of the political soldier has long been part of Western political life. Yet although many countries would have preferred to keep the military out of politics few have been successful. Originally published in 1976 this book examines the careers of five distinguished twentieth century soldiers and assesses their contribution as statesmen. Hindenburg Byng Franco Eisenhower and De Gaulle all came into political life in different circumstances but none did so in the name of the profession or to establish a praetorian state. Each was a professional soldier who found himself drawn into the political arena. Each of these essays illuminates one aspect of the range of political sociological and historical issues which now surround the interrelationship of civil and military. At a time when the tensions of democracy both internally and externally impose increasing pressure on the role of the military in society it is important to study the history of soldiers-as-statesmen. | Soldiers as Statesmen

Role-play as a Heritage Practice Historical Larp Tabletop RPG and Reenactment

Role-play as a Heritage Practice Historical Larp Tabletop RPG and Reenactment

Role-play as a Heritage Practice is the first book to examine physically performed role-enactments such as live-action role-play (LARP) tabletop role-playing games (TRPG) and hobbyist historical reenactment (RH) from a combined game studies and heritage studies perspective. Demonstrating that non-digital role-plays such as TRPG and LARP share many features with RH the book contends that all three may be considered as heritage practices. Studying these role-plays as three distinct genres of playful participatory and performative forms of engagement with cultural heritage Mochocki demonstrates how an exploration of the affordances of each genre can be valuable. Showing that a player’s engagement with history or heritage material is always multi-layered the book clarifies that the layers may be conceptualised simultaneously as types of heritage authenticity and as types of in-game immersion. It is also made clear that RH TRPG and LARP share commonalities with a multitude of other media including video games historical fiction and film. Existing within and contributing to the fiction and non-fiction mediasphere these role-enactments are shaped by the same large-scale narratives and discourses that persons families communities and nations use to build memory and identity. Role-play as a Heritage Practice will be of great interest to academics and students engaged in the study of heritage memory nostalgia role-playing historical games performance fans and transmedia narratology. | Role-play as a Heritage Practice Historical Larp Tabletop RPG and Reenactment

Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic Genesis Constitution and Regressive Progress

Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic Genesis Constitution and Regressive Progress

This book examines the 2008 global economic crisis as a complex social phenomenon or social hieroglyphic arguing that the crisis is not fundamentally economic despite presenting itself as such. Instead it is considered to be a symptom of a long-standing multifaceted and endemic crisis of capitalism which has effectively become permanent leading contemporary capitalist societies into a state of social regression manifest in new forms of barbarism. The author offers a qualitative understanding of the economic crisis as the perversion or inversion of the capitalistically organized social relations. The genesis of the current crisis is traced back to the unresolved world crisis surrounding the Great Depression in order to map the course and different inverted forms of the continuous global crisis of capitalism and to reveal their inner connections as derivative of the same social constitution. From a historical and interdisciplinary perspective the book expounds critical social theory elaborating on the intersection between the early critical theory of the Frankfurt School – mainly Adorno Horkheimer and Marcuse – and the social form analysis of the Open Marxism school. Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic critically addresses the permanent character of the 1920s–1930s crisis and the crisis theory debates; the political crisis in Eastern Europe (1953–1968); the crisis of Keynesianism; the crisis of subversive reason; the crisis negative anthropology and transformations of the bourgeois individual; the state of social regression and the destructive tendencies after the rise of neoliberalism; and finally the 2008 financial crisis and its ongoing aftermath. | Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic Genesis Constitution and Regressive Progress

The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

The anxiety over death persists in everyday life- though often denied or repressed- lingering as an unconscious worry or intuition that typically seems to compromise one’s feelings of well-being and experience in a range of areas; coming out often as malaise depression and anger in much conduct. If one accepts the cliché that life is preparation for death we must accept that the lived experience of the dying body is not highlighted merely in obvious cases of deterioration such as in the ageing or diseased body but in everyday life as a normal phenomenon. This book proposes that sensitivity to this dimension can empower us to develop creative relationships to the vulnerability of others and to ourselves as well. Part One lays the groundwork for a study of the ways the aura and fear of death recurs as a constant premonition in life and how people try to deal with this uneasiness. Part Two then goes on to apply this focus to particular concerns and problems such as dementia depression aging retirement and a range of anxieties frustrations and aggressions. The Dying Body as Lived Experience will be of interest to a wide interdisciplinary audience in the health sciences in the sociology of health and illness philosophy bioethics and in the expanding field of medical humanities. | The Dying Body as a Lived Experience
