Reality TV

Reality TV

From early first-wave programs such as Candid Camera An American Family and The Real World to the shows on our television screens and portable devices today reality television consistently takes us to cities—such as New York Los Angeles and Boston—to imagine the place of urbanity in American culture and society. Jon Kraszewski offers the first extended account of this phenomenon as he makes the politics of urban space the center of his history and theory of reality television. Kraszewski situates reality television in a larger economic transformation that started in the 1980s when America went from an industrial economy when cities were home to all classes to its post-industrial economy as cities became key points in a web of global financing expelling all economic classes except the elite and the poor. Reality television in the industrial era reworked social relationships based on class race and gender for liberatory purposes which resulted in an egalitarian ethos in the genre. However reality television of the post-industrial era attempts to convince viewers that cities still serve their interests even though most viewers find city life today economically untenable. Each chapter uses a key theoretical concept from spatial theory—such as power geometries diasporic nostalgia orientalism the imagination of social expulsions and the relationship between the country and the city—to illuminate the way reality television engages this larger transformation of urban space in America. | Reality TV

The Linguistic Construction of Reality

The Linguistic Construction of Reality

This book originally published in 1987 considers how the science of linguistics creates its own objects of study. It argues that language is the one essential tool in the ‘social construction of reality’ – the way in which our environment as we perceive and respond to it is actually created by the cultural constructs we bring to bear on it – and that it is also the means by which this reality once constructed is preserved and transmitted from person to person and from generation to generation. Hence it is entirely appropriate to refer to the linguistic construction of reality.

Einstein Tagore and the Nature of Reality

Einstein Tagore and the Nature of Reality

The nature of reality has been a long-debated issue among scientists and philosophers. In 1930 Rabindranath Tagore and Albert Einstein had a long conversation on the nature of reality. This conversation has been widely quoted and discussed by scientists philosophers and scholars from the literary world. The important question that Tagore and Einstein discussed was whether the world is a unity dependent on humanity or the world is a reality independent on the human factor. Einstein took the stand adopted by Western philosophers and mathematicians namely that reality is something independent of the mind and the human factor. Tagore on the other hand adopted the opposite view. Nevertheless both Einstein and Tagore claimed to be realists despite the fundamental differences between their conceptions of reality. Where does the difference lie? Can it be harmonized at some deeper level? Can Wittgenstein for example be a bridge between the two views? This collection of essays explores these two fundamentally different conceptions of the nature of reality from the perspectives of theories of space-time quantum theory general philosophy of science cognitive science and mathematics. | Einstein Tagore and the Nature of Reality

Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality Testing Religious Truth-claims

Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality Testing Religious Truth-claims

Philosophical naturalism is taken to be the preferred and reigning epistemology and metaphysics that underwrites many ideas and knowledge claims. But what if we cannot know reality on that basis? What if the institution of science is threatened by its reliance on naturalism? R. Scott Smith argues in a fresh way that we cannot know reality on the basis of naturalism. Moreover the fact-value split has failed to serve our interests of wanting to know reality. The author provocatively argues that since we can know reality it must be due to a non-naturalistic ontology best explained by the fact that human knowers are made and designed by God. The book offers fresh implications for the testing of religious truth-claims science ethics education and public policy. Consequently naturalism and the fact-value split are shown to be false and Christian theism is shown to be true. | Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality Testing Religious Truth-claims

Environmental Illness Myth & Reality

Environmental Illness Myth & Reality

Environmental illness: certain health professionals and clinical ecologists claim it impacts and inhibits 15 percent of the population. Its afflicted are led to believe environmental illness (EI) originates with food chemicals and other stimuli in their surroundings -as advocates call for drastic measures to remedy the situation. What if relief proves elusive-and the patient is sent on a course of ongoing costly and ineffective treatment?Several hundred individuals who believed they were suffering from EI have been evaluated or treated by Herman Staudenmayer since the 1970s. Staudenmayer believed the symptoms harming his patients actually had psychophysiological origins-based more in fear of a hostile world than any suspected toxins contained in the environment. Staudenmayer's years of research clinical work-and successful care-are now summarized in Environmental Illness: Myth & Reality. Dismissing much of the information that has attempted to defend EI and its culture of victimization Staudenmayer details the alternative diagnoses and treatments that have helped patients recognize their true conditions-and finally overcome them often after years of prolonged suffering. | Environmental Illness Myth & Reality
