This book explores the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality from the past to the present and is unique in extending the discussion to focus on contemporary and emerging identities.

Hayfield then evidences clear examples of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality within education employment mainstream mass media and the wider culture. Throughout the book there is consideration of the impact that this invisibility and invalidation has on people’s sense of identity and on their health and wellbeing. It concludes with a discussion of how bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality have become somewhat more visible than in the past and the potential that visibility holds for recognition and representation.

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

In Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U. S. : Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies David A. J. Richards offers an investigative comparison of two central figures in late eighteenth-century constitutionalism Edmund Burke and James Madison at a time when two great constitutional experiments were in play: the Constitution of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the U. S. Constitution of 1787. Richards assesses how much as liberal Lockean constitutionalists Burke and Madison shared and yet differed regarding violent revolution offering three pathbreaking and original contributions about Burke’s importance. First the book defends Burke as a central figure in the development and understanding of liberal constitutionalism; second it explores the psychology that led to his liberal voice including Burke’s own long-term loving relationship to another man; and third it shows how Burke’s understanding of the political psychology of the violence of “political religions” is an enduring contribution to understanding fascist threats to political liberalism from the eighteenth-century onwards including the contemporary constitutional crises in the U. S. and U. K. deriving from populist movements. Mixing thorough research with personal experiences this book will be an invaluable resource to scholars of political science and theory constitutional law history political psychology and LGBTQ+ issues. | Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

The law plays an ambiguous role in running business. While legal tools can be used to tame uncertainties for example by concluding contracts to safeguard enforcement of future claims they can also generate uncertainty. These secondary uncertainties like ones stemming from vague rights and obligations may be counterbalanced by using different resources and strategies including acting informally modifying business plans or accepting the losses from unpaid dues. This book discusses how small and medium enterprises use the law abstain from using the law and use alternative pathways to manage business uncertainties. Examining these topics through the lenses of an extensive qualitative and quantitative empirical study on justiciable issues access to justice and legal uncertainty among SMEs in Poland it implements and expands upon the paradigmatic paths to justice methodology which has been successfully used to study conflict resolution access to justice and utilisation of the law by individuals in more than 30 jurisdictions. It argues that the grand promise of modern law - that it is a certainty-providing neutral and democratic device to resolve problems and conflicts - is not fully delivered. It reveals how the conditions of a freshly developed capitalism combined with the rule of law backsliding contribute to universal structural problems with access to justice meaning that accessing justice is a resource-hungry process which incentivises small businesses to settle for their legal problems and engage in informal and alternative strategies. | Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future

Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future

This book explores cultural sustainability and its relationships to heritage from a wide interdisciplinary perspective. By examining the interactions between people and communities in the places where they live it exemplifies the diverse ways in which a people-centred heritage builds identities and supports individual and collective memories. It encourages a view of heritage as a process that contributes through cultural sustainability to human well-being and socially- and culturally-sensitive policy. With theoretically-informed case studies from leading researchers the book addresses both concepts and practice in a range of places and contexts including landscape townscape museums industrial sites every day heritage ‘ordinary’ places and the local scene and even UNESCO-designated sites. The contributors most of whom like the editors were members of the COST Action ‘Investigating Cultural Sustainability’ demonstrate in a cohesive way how the cultural values that people attach to place are enmeshed with issues of memory identity and aspiration and how they therefore stand at the centre of sustainability discourse and practice. The cases are drawn from many parts of Europe but notably from the Baltic and central and south-eastern Europe regions with distinctive recent histories and cultural approaches and heritage discourses that offer less well-known but transferable insights. They all illustrate the contribution that dealing with the inheritance of the past can make to a full cultural engagement with sustainable development. The book provides an introductory framework to guide readers and a concluding section that draws on the case studies to emphasise their transferability and specificity and to outline the potential contribution of the examples to future research practice and policy in cultural sustainability. This is a unique offering for postgraduate students researchers and professionals interested in heritage management governance and community participation and cultural sustainability. | Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future

Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Stephen K. Medvic’s Campaigns and Elections is a comprehensive yet compact core text that addresses two distinct but related aspects of American electoral democracy: the processes that constitute campaigns and elections and the players who are involved. In addition to balanced coverage of process and actors it gives equal billing to both campaigns and elections and covers contests for legislative and executive positions at the national state and local levels including issue-oriented campaigns of note. The book opens by providing students with the conceptual distinctions between what happens in an election and the campaigning that precedes it. Significant attention is devoted to setting up the context for these campaigns and elections by covering the rules of the game in the American electoral system as well as aspects of election administration and the funding of elections. Then the book systematically covers the actors at every level—candidates and their organizations parties interest groups the media and voters—and the macro-level aspects of campaigns such as campaign strategy and determinants of election outcomes. The book concludes with a big-picture assessment of campaign ethics and implications of the permanent campaign. New to the Fourth Edition: • Fully updated through the 2020 elections looking ahead to the 2022 midterms • Covers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 election as well as the January 6 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol • Adds new sections in Chapter 3 on election integrity and the assessment of election administration • Reviews recent Supreme Court cases on gerrymandering and faithless electors • Expands coverage of social media as a source of news of the increasingly partisan nature of the media and of the role of media fact-checking in campaigns and elections • Reorganizes the chapters on the various actors so that the chapter on candidates leads directly to the chapter on campaigns • Fully updates the resources listed at the end of each chapter | Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

During the 1950s 1960s and 1970s general levels of alcohol consumption had risen considerably in all parts of the world. In association with this there was a proliferation of alcohol-related problems such as liver disease drunkenness offences marital disharmony and employment difficulties. Many factors influence the probability of alcohol addiction and the habits of drinking; they include age sex race occupation and income. Economic aspects of the use and misuse of alcohol had been attracting increasing attention during the early 1980s. Politicians and scholars alike had drawn attention to the benefits of a vigorous alcohol industry on the one hand and on the other the costs of providing medical social and educational services for those suffering from alcohol-related problems. Originally published in 1983 the real nature of the relationship between economics and alcohol is explored in detail for the first time in this book. It argues for increased participation by economists in the processes of social policy decision-making and considers the key issues of cost-benefit analyses control policies taxation and programme efficiency. No easy solutions are provided but a host of unjustified assumptions about this subject are clarified. This book paved the way for substantial future collaboration between economists and those involved in alcohol studies. | Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

Translation and Ideology Encounters and Clashes

Translation and Ideology Encounters and Clashes

Ideology has become increasingly central to work in translation studies. To date however most studies have focused on literary and religious texts thus limiting wider understanding of how ideological clashes and encounters pervade any context where power inequalities are present. This special edition of The Translator deliberately focuses on ideology in the translation of a rich variety of lesser-studied genres namely academic writing cultural journals legal and scientific texts political interviews advertisements language policy and European Parliament discourse in all of which translation as a social practice can be seen to shape maintain and at times also resist and challenge the asymmetrical nature of exchanges between parties engaged in or subjected to hegemonic practices. The volume opens with two ground-breaking papers that investigate the nature and representation of truth and knowledge in the translation of the sciences followed by two contributions which approach the issue of shifts in the translation of ideology from the standpoint of critical linguistics and critical discourse analysis using data from political speeches and interviews and from English and Korean versions of Newsweek. Other contributions discuss the role that translation scholars can play in raising public awareness of the manipulative devices used in advertising; the way in which potentially competing institutional and individual ideologies are negotiated in the context of interpreting in the European Union; the role translation plays in shaping the politics of a multilingual nation state with reference to Belgium; and the extent to which the concepts of norms and polysystems may be productive in investigating the link between translation and ideology with reference to Chinese data. | Translation and Ideology Encounters and Clashes

Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia

Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia

This book examines secessionist terrorism in a comparative context across Europe and Eurasia. The volume seeks to uncover comparative linkages between terrorism and secessionism; specifically examining terrorist organizations that also have a political goal of independence. It examines a wide range of case studies including the IRA in Northern Ireland ETA in the Basque Country FLNC in Corsica and ARD in Brittany KLA in Kosovo PKK and TAK in Turkish Kurdistan and IK in Chechnya. In doing so the book shows the linkages in terrorist tactics and demands as well as when and how ceasefires come into place. Ultimately none of the terrorist organizations studied here has obtained their maximalist goal of gaining independence but each has caused significant bloodshed and has contributed to the debate on the future of governance in Europe and Eurasia. The major strength of this format is to glean wider lessons on ethno-nationalism as well as the causes and outcomes of terrorist actions. Each case study also updates the literature on the individual cases to provide the most recent account of events in these countries. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and political violence ethnic conflict nationalism European politics and International Relations in general. | Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia

Gender Generations and Communism in Central and Eastern Europe and Beyond

Gender Generations and Communism in Central and Eastern Europe and Beyond

Communism in twentieth-century Europe is predominantly narrated as a totalitarian movement and/or regime. This book aims to go beyond this narrative and provide an alternative framework to describe the communist past. This reframing is possible thanks to the concepts of generation and gender which are used in the book as analytical categories in an intersectional overlap. The publication covers twentieth-century Poland Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic the Soviet Union/Russia former Yugoslavia Turkish communities in West Germany Italy and Cuba (as a comparative point of reference). It provides a theoretical frame and overview chapters on several important gender and generation narratives about communism anticommunism and postcommunism. Its starting point is the belief that although methodological reflection on communism as well as on generations and gender is conducted extensively in contemporary research the overlapping of these three terms is still rare. The main focus in the first part is on methodological issues. The second part features studies which depict the possibility of generational-gender interpretations of history. The third part is informed by biographical perspectives. The last part shows how the problem of generations and gender is staged via the medium of literature and how it can be narrated. | Gender Generations and Communism in Central and Eastern Europe and Beyond

Trust and Conflict Representation Culture and Dialogue

Trust and Conflict Representation Culture and Dialogue

Trust distrust and conflict between social groups have existed throughout the history of humankind although their forms have changed. Using three main concepts: culture representation and dialogue this book explores and re-thinks some of these changes in relation to concrete historical and contemporary events. Part I offers a symbolic and historical analysis of trust and distrust while Parts II and III examine trust distrust and conflict in specific events including the Cyprus conflict Estonian collective memories coping with HIV/AIDS in China Swedish asylum seekers the Cuban missile crisis and Stalinist confessions. With an impressive array of international contributors the chapters draw on a number of key concepts such as self and other ingroup and outgroup contact between groups categorization brinkmanship knowledge beliefs and myth. Trust and Conflict offers a fresh perspective on the problems that arise from treating trust distrust and conflict as simplified indicators. Instead it proposes that human and social sciences can view these phenomena within the complex matrix of interacting perspectives and meta-perspectives that characterise the social world. As such it will be of interest to undergraduates postgraduates and lecturers of human and social sciences especially social psychology sociology political science and communication studies. | Trust and Conflict Representation Culture and Dialogue

Photography and the Law Rights and Restrictions

Photography and the Law Rights and Restrictions

Photographers and publishers of photographs enjoy a wide range of legal rights including freedom of expression and of publication. They have a right to create and publish photographs. They may invoke their intellectual moral and property rights to protect and enforce their rights in their created and/or published works. These rights are not absolute. This book analyses the various legal restrictions and prohibitions which may affect these rights. Photography and the Law investigates the legal limitations faced by professional and amateur photographers and photograph publishers under Irish UK and EU Law. Through an in-depth discussion of the personal rights of the public including the right not to be harassed the book gives a clear analysis of the current legal standpoint on the relationship between privacy and freedom of expression. Additionally the book looks at the reconciliation of photographers’ rights with the state’s interest in public security and defence alongside the enforcement of ethical and moral codes. Comparative legal standing in the European Union is used as a springboard to further analyse Irish and UK statutes and case law including recent reforms and current proposals for future change. The book ends with pertinent suggestions of the necessary reforms and enactments required to rebalance the relationship between the personal rights of individuals the state’s duties and the protection of photographers’ and photograph publishers’ rights. By clearly explaining the theoretical and conceptual reasoning behind the current law alongside proposed reforms the book will be a useful tool for any student or academic interested in photography law privacy and media law alongside professional and amateur photographers and photograph publishers. | Photography and the Law Rights and Restrictions
