Gender and Political Apology When the Patriarchal State Says “Sorry”

Gender and Political Apology When the Patriarchal State Says “Sorry”

This book provides a much-needed gendered reading to the increasingly important practice of political apology. Engaging in depth with two cases of interstate apologies for conflict-related sexual violence – Japan’s apologies for the South Korean comfort women and US apologies for the Abu Ghraib scandal – the author argues that political apologies are particularly excitable or uncontrollable forms of speech which are composed of and rearticulate historically constituted gender norms. In doing so political apologies work to recognise and make visible particular gendered victims whilst simultaneously obscuring others. Through the concept of legitimate victimhood the author examines the performative ways in which political apologies (re)negotiate and (re)make embodied gendered identities. Ultimately she argues that the ambivalent form of recognition offered by the performance of official apologies in these cases resulted in numerous unintended consequences including opportunities for victims to demonstrate linguistic agencies. Political apologies for conflict-related sexual violence can therefore — indirectly — empower the gendered victims addressed. This book will be of great interest to students academics and researchers in the fields of politics and international relations women’s and gender studies memory studies victimology transitional justice human rights and peace and conflict studies. It will also interest policymakers practitioners and campaign groups involved in such areas as justice for gender-based violence. | Gender and Political Apology When the Patriarchal State Says “Sorry”

What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

When it comes to sex the Bible is marred by inequality. To address the consequences of that What the Bible Says About Sex asserts that modern perspectives on sexuality and gender should be separated from the more constraining historical views of traditional biblical interpretation. What does the Bible say about sexuality? How have traditions of biblical interpretation influenced our understanding of sex and gender? What the Bible Says About Sex answers that and many other questions. Not shy it analyzes why the Church claimed dominion over marriage while the female body remained a source of potential evil. It wrestles with how sexuality is used not only in the past but also in the present to reinforce notions of honor and how it can be used to manipulate others. Deftly it handles a discussion of semen as both profane and the seed of life. It looks brazenly at the pornographic and the erotic passages of the Bible and how traditions of interpretation veiled them. With the Bible frequently invoked to support arguments in the present age over the moral limits of sexuality and gender having a greater awareness of what the Bible says about sex and how it is and has been interpreted is critical now more than ever. What the Bible Says About Sex is suitable for students scholars and the general reader with an interest in sexuality and the Bible and sex and desire in both ancient and modern Christianity. | What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution

No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution

No-Body Homicides: The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution examines how police and prosecutors have become more successful in obtaining convictions for homicide when the remains of the victim are unavailable as evidence. Based on an examination of over 600 cases in the United States and Canada this book shows the length some killers will go to avoid punishment and the determination of police and prosecutors to bring them to justice. For over 300 years murderers in the United States and Canada could avoid prosecution by successfully disposing of the body of their victim. No-Body Homicides provides the reader with a historical overview of prosecutions in which a killer destroyed or hid the body of the victim. It explains why prosecutions were once extremely rare and how legal attitudinal and technical changes have made them more common. The book also explores how the logic of no-body homicide prosecutions differs from body-present homicides. It allows police and prosecutors to draw on the accumulated experience of hundreds of prosecutions. For criminology students it provides fascinating insights into the process of investigating and prosecuting homicides – as well as a glimpse into the motivations and practices of killers who are so determined to avoid punishment that they remove the bodies of their victims. No-Body Homicides will be of practical interest to police or prosecutors confronted with a missing person’s case that could be sinister. It is also written to be appropriate as a supplementary text in an undergraduate criminology class or for an aficionado of “True Crime. ” | No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution

Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

This book is about the principal concept of soil mechanics that become the basis in explaining the soil mechanical behaviours. It is the extended concept of effective stress of Terzaghi and it is known as the concept of effective stress and shear strength interaction. This new concept incorporates the role of mobilised shear strength developed within the soil body in resisting the compressive effect. Based on this new concept a comprehensive soil volume change framework has been developed known as Rotational Multiple Yield Surface Framework (RMYSF). This RMYSF is able to explain and quantify the puzzled and complex soil volume change behaviours. The main advantage of this RMYSF is that it is able to make a good prediction of soil and rock stress-strain responses at any effective stress. This will lead to accurate prediction of soil and rock settlements. Due to its simplicity and the comprehensive nature of this new fundamental concept in soil and rock mechanics it will eventually be included in soil and rock mechanics syllabus for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This book would be very useful for geotechnical engineers dealing with soil settlement underground excavation computer modelling rock mechanics road engineering earth and rock dam engineering and tunnel engineering. | Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

The High Cost of Free Parking Updated Edition

The High Cost of Free Parking Updated Edition

One of the American Planning Association‘s most popular and influential books is finally in paperback with a new preface from the author on how thinking about parking has changed since this book was first published. In this no-holds-barred treatise Donald Shoup argues that free parking has contributed to auto dependence rapid urban sprawl extravagant energy use and a host of other problems. Planners mandate free parking to alleviate congestion but end up distorting transportation choices debasing urban design damaging the economy and degrading the environment. Ubiquitous free parking helps explain why our cities sprawl on a scale fit more for cars than for people and why American motor vehicles now consume one-eighth of the world's total oil production. But it doesn't have to be this way. Shoup proposes new ways for cities to regulate parking namely charge fair market prices for curb parking use the resulting revenue to pay for services in the neighborhoods that generate it and remove zoning requirements for off-street parking. Such measures according to the Yale-trained economist and UCLA planning professor will make parking easier and driving less necessary. Join the swelling ranks of Shoupistas by picking up this book today. You'll never look at a parking spot the same way again. | The High Cost of Free Parking Updated Edition

Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body

Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body

The body and experiences of embodiment have generated a rich and diverse sociological literature. This volume articulates and illustrates one major approach to the sociology of the body: symbolic interactionism an increasingly prevalent theoretical base of contemporary sociology derived from the pragmatism of writers such as John Dewey William James Charles Peirce Charles Cooley and George Herbert Mead. The authors argue that from an interactionist perspective the body is much more than a tangible corporeal object - it is a vessel of great significance to the individual and society. From this perspective body self and social interaction are intimately interrelated and constantly reconfigured. The collection constitutes a unique anthology of empirical research on the body from health and illness to sexuality from beauty and imagery to bodily performance in sport and art and from mediated communication to plastic surgery. The contributions are informed by innovative interactionist theory offering fresh insights into one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines of sociology and cultural studies. | Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body
