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

Persian Carpets The Nation as a Transnational Commodity

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

More recently attention has been given to the work identity and professional development of teacher educators. The various chapters in the book address the topic of teacher educators as teachers and researchers in diverse countries and contexts namely Australia Belgium England Ireland Israel Portugal Norway and the USA. Collectively the authors examine the work of teacher educators considering their core mission their professional development opportunities and the demands and needs of their working contexts.

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research: Made as Well as Found is a collection of readings designed to support entrepreneurship research. Focused on a worldview in which the future is open-ended and shapeable through human action – i. e. “made” this collection reframes entrepreneurship as a science of the artificial rather than as a natural or social science. It posits an open-ended universe for the making of human artifacts even if large swathes of nature and society are not within the control of the people making them. The book explores the notion of “made” through 25 foundational readings – classics from the history of ideas. Organized into five sections each classic is individually introduced by the editors in one of five chapters written to explain its relevance and significance for a “made” view of entrepreneurship. Readers will benefit from exposure to these classic ideas and ongoing research in a variety of areas that fall somewhat outside the line-of-sight of traditional entrepreneurship research. Both individually and collectively the readings suggest opportunities to ask new questions and develop new ways of framing entrepreneurship research that carry the discussion beyond worlds found to worlds made as well as found. The book is crafted to be valuable to three groups of scholars: young scholars with limited or no access to research infrastructure but with a desire to participate in deep conversations; young scholars with access to research infrastructure who also desire to listen-in on a different kind of conversation; and established entrepreneurship scholars who are contemplating an alternative set of foundational ideas to support their conversations in the discipline. | Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

This book explores the origins of Butoh in post-war Japan through orality and transmission in conjunction with an embodied research approach. The book is a gathering of seminal artistic voices – Yoshito Ohno Natsu Nakajima Yukio Waguri Moe Yamamoto Masaki Iwana Ko Murobushi Yukio Suzuki Takao Kawaguchi Yuko Kaseki and the philosopher Kuniichi Uno. These conversations happened during an extended research trip I made to Japan to understand the context and circumstances that engendered Butoh. Alongside these exchanges are my reflections on Butoh’s complex history. These are primarily informed by my pedagogical and performance encounters with the artists I met during this time rather than a theoretical analysis. Through the words of these dancers I investigate Butoh’s tendency to evade categorization. Butoh’s artistic legacy of bodily rebellion plurality of authorship and fluidity of form seems prescient and feels more relevant in contemporary times than ever before. This book is intended as a practitioner's guide for dancers artists students and scholars with an interest in non-Western dance and dance history postmodern performance and Japanese arts and culture. | Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

Cannabis as Medicine

Cannabis as Medicine

For hundreds of years cannabis has been used as a therapeutic medicine around the world. Cannabis was an accepted medicine during the second half of the 19th century but its use declined because single agent pain medications were advocated by physicians who demanded standardization of medicines. It was not until 1964 when the chemical structure of THC (delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol) was elucidated and its pharmacological effects began to be understood. Numerous therapeutic effects of cannabis have been reviewed but cannabis-based medicines are still an enigma because of legal issues. Many patients could benefit from cannabinoids terpenoids and flavonoids found in Cannabis sativa L. These patients suffer from medical conditions including chronic pain chronic inflammatory diseases neurological disorders and other debilitating illnesses. As more states are legalizing medical cannabis prescribers need a reliable source which provides clinical information in a succinct format. This book focuses on the science of cannabis as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplement. It discusses cannabis uses in the human body for bone health/osteoporosis; brain injury and trauma; cancer; diabetes; gastrointestinal conditions; mental health disorders; insomnia; pain; anxiety disorders; depression; migraines; eye disorders; and arthritis and inflammation. There is emphasis on using the whole plant — from root to raw leaves and flowers discussing strains extraction and analysis and use of cannabis-infused edibles. Features: Provides an understanding of the botanical and biochemistry behind cannabis as well as its use as a dietary supplement. Discusses endocannabinoid system and cannabinoid receptors.

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

China is often seen as a monolith outside its borders. However heterogeneity and interculturality have characterized the Middle Kingdom for centuries. Today China’s take on diversity is too easily disparaged or perceived as ambiguous – as if China was not legitimate to take part in conversations about it. The authors wish to contribute to global discussions about interculturality in education which have often been dominated by ‘Western’ voices by problematizing a very specific Chinese perspective called Minzu (‘ethnic’) education. Minzu is presented as a potential companion to other forms of diversity education (multicultural intercultural transcultural cross-cultural global education). Without claiming that they have found a miraculous and one-size-fits all recipe they argue that the lessons learnt from researching various aspects of Minzu in Chinese education can also help students researchers educators and decision-makers unthink and rethink the central issue of interculturality. As such the book introduces the complexity contradictions and benefits of Minzu while helping the reader consider how compatible and complementary it could be with discussions of interculturality in other parts of the world. The book also aims at making readers observe critically their own contexts. This book was written with an open mind and it should be read with the same. | Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

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
