Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

At the doorstep of the twenty-first century one would expect that medieval concepts such as blood libel the accusation that Jews kill children to use their blood in religious ritual would have been discarded by any civilized human being. Certainly in the Christian world where the story originated and endured for centuries modern attitudes have nearly erased these barbaric accusations. But in Arab and Islamic worlds where enmity towards Israel and Zionism has conditioned beliefs attitudes positions and fantasies blood libel and similar charges are still part of life. Most people are unaware of the history of blood libel and do not perceive links between it and many of the false accusations currently hurled against the state of Israel. Raphael Israeli argues that individuals and organizations guilty of human rights crimes project crimes onto Israel to avoid awareness of their own guilt. Certainly when countries ruled by dictators set the agenda of the UN Council for human rights Israel is consistently censured and condemned. Accusations of apartheid and charges of discrimination against Muslims are frequently made. Israel is accused of plots against Muslims in order to harm their productive sectors of using weapons of mass destruction to commit genocide against Arabs of injecting poisonous substances into Palestinian children of poisoning Arab lands under the guise of agricultural aid and of laying siege to peaceful citizens. All of these charges are derivatives of blood libel and have been adopted by Middle East Jihadists in their struggle against Israel. This volume aims to explain the origins of the charge of blood libel and define the ways its derivatives have achieved acceptance in certain parts of the world today. | Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

In this volume the author argues that blood was crucially a means by which dramatists negotiated shifting contours of domesticity in 16th and 17th century England. Early modern English drama vividly addressed contemporary debates over an expanding idea of the domestic which encompassed the domus as well as sex parenthood household order the relationship between home and state and the connections between family honor and national identity. The author contends that the domestic ideology expressed by theatrical depictions of marriage and household order is one built on the simultaneous familiarity and violence inherent to blood. The theatrical relation between blood and home is far more intricate than the idealized language of the familial bloodline; the home was itself a bloody place with domestic bloodstains signifying a range of experiences including religious worship sex murder birth healing and holy justice. Focusing on four bleeding figures—the Bleeding Bride Bleeding Husband Bleeding Child and Bleeding Patient—the author argues that the household blood of the early modern stage not only expressed the violence and conflict occasioned by domestic ideology but also established the home as a site that alternately reified and challenged patriarchal authority. | Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

The Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT) is a test for use with people who have acquired aphasia that can be completed over one or two assessment sessions. The test includes a user manual a cognitive screen and language battery and a scoring booklet which are all unchanged since the previous edition and - new to this release - a concise Aphasia Impact Questionnaire which replaces the Disability Questionnaire. The cognitive section assesses people's abilities across a range of task that can affect rehabilitation. Forming the main body of the test the language battery provides a profile of performance across all modalities of language production and comprehension. The Aphasia Impact Questionnaire is a pictorial Patient Reported Outcome Measure which produces both qualitative and quantitative information. It was co-produced with people with aphasia. It supports the person with aphasia to give a subjective rating of how language difficulties identified in the Language Battery affect their daily life enabling first steps towards goal setting. By capturing this information the CAT helps the therapist track changes over the course of recovery and provides a guide to likely outcomes on the basis of an early assessment. The first two sections of the CAT are supported by normative data on people both with and without aphasia and extensive data on reliability and clinical validity. The CAT allows users to: Identify underlying impairments Find where to focus assessments using PALPA and other batteries Ascertain the practical psychological and social impact of aphasia from the perceptive of the person with aphasia Create a profile of strengths and weaknesses to guide therapy. Structured around fully up-to-date models of language assessment from cognitive neuropsychology to patient reported outcome measures test is an indispensable resource for speech and language therapists and researchers. It provides as much information about people's language ability as possible in a relatively brief test designed to be completed in 90-120 minutes. Additional scoring booklets can be ordered in packs of 10 at https://www. routledge. com/Comprehensive-Aphasia-Test-Scoring-Book-pack-of-10/Swinburn-Porter-Howard/p/book/ 9781032128177

The Turing Test Argument

The Turing Test Argument

This book departs from existing accounts of Alan Turing's imitation game and test by placing Turing's proposal in its historical social and cultural context. It reconstructs a controversy in England 1946–1952 over the intellectual capabilities of digital computers which led Turing to propose his test. It argues that the Turing test is best understood not as a practical experiment but as a thought experiment in the modern scientific tradition of Galileo Galilei. The logic of the Turing test argument is reconstructed from the rhetoric of Turing’s irony and wit. Turing believed that learning machines should be understood as a new kind of species and their thinking as different from human thinking and yet capable of imitating it. He thought that the possibilities of the machines he envisioned were not utopian dreams. And yet he hoped that they would rival and surpass chauvinists and intellectuals who sacrifice independent thinking to maintain their power. These would be transformed into ordinary people as work once considered 'intellectual' would be transformed into non-intellectual 'mechanical' work. The Turing Test Argument will appeal to scholars and students in the sciences and humanities and all those interested in Turing's vision of the future of intelligent machines in society and nature.

Prostitution Pornography and Trafficking in Women Israel's Blood Money

Prostitution Pornography and Trafficking in Women Israel's Blood Money

This book critically analyzes the sex industry in Israel using feminist concepts and scholarship to elaborate on the power of prostitution to shape a world in which women are objects for fulfilling men's desires. A comprehensive collection of research-based articles that examine prostitution trafficking in women and pornography from divergent disciplinary angles it reveals the interconnectedness of these three aspects of the sex trade which objectifies commercializes and exploits human – and in particular women’s – sexuality. Showing these practices to be embedded in a capitalist and patriarchal oppressive context that is accommodated by state institutions this volume rejects the argument that it is possible to choose prostitution and that feminist pornography is possible. With case studies including the conspicuous context of migration that attracts sex traffickers the liberal discourse introduced by cinema the media and the arts that serve to legitimate prostitution and pornography the chauvinist-macho culture that perceives and treats women as sex objects and the issues of male prostitution and men as clients Prostitution Pornography and Trafficking in Women: Israel’s Blood Money constitutes a study of Israel as a unique context in which the sex trade can prosper in spite of geographical religious and institutional constraints. As such it will be of interest to scholars of sociology anthropology history cultural studies and gender and women’s studies. | Prostitution Pornography and Trafficking in Women Israel's Blood Money

Historicising Heritage and Emotions The Affective Histories of Blood Stone and Land

Historicising Heritage and Emotions The Affective Histories of Blood Stone and Land

Historicising Heritage and Emotions examines how heritage is connected to and between people and places through emotion both in the past and today. Discussion is focused on the overlapping categories of blood (families and bloodlines) stone (monuments and memorials) and land (landscape and places imbued with memories) with the contributing authors exploring the ways in which emotions invest heritage with affective power and the transformative effects of this power in individual community and cultural contexts. The 13 chapters that make up the volume take examples from the premodern and modern eras and from two connected geographical regions the United Kingdom and Australia and the Pacific. Each chapter seeks to identify historicise and contextualise the processes of heritage and the emotional regimes at play locating the processes within longer historical and transnational genealogies and critically appraising them as part of broader cultural currents. Theoretically grounded in new approaches to the history of emotions and critical heritage studies the analysis challenges the traditional scholarly focus on heritage in its modern forms offering multifaceted premodern and modern case studies that demonstrate heritage and emotion to have complex and vibrant histories. Offering transhistorical and multidisciplinary discussion around the ways in which we can talk about discuss categorise and theorise heritage and emotion in different historical contexts Historicising Heritage and Emotions is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in heritage emotions and history. | Historicising Heritage and Emotions The Affective Histories of Blood Stone and Land

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

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

In 1962 Dean Acheson famously described Britain as having lost an Empire but not yet found a role. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the realms of nuclear weapons. An increasingly marginal world power successive post-war British governments felt that an independent nuclear deterrent was essential if the country was to remain at the top table of world diplomacy. Focusing on a key twenty-year period this study explores Britain's role in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty between 1954 and 1973. Taking a broadly chronological approach it examines the nature of defence planning the scientific goals that nuclear tests were designed to secure Anglo-American relationships the efficacy of British diplomacy and its contribution to arms control and disarmament. A key theme of the study is to show how the UK managed to balance the conflicting pressures created by its determination to remain a credible nuclear power whilst wanting to pursue disarmament objectives and how these pressures shifted over the period in question. Based on a wealth of primary sources this book opens up the largely ignored subject of the impact of arms control on the UK nuclear weapons programme. Its appraisal of the relationship between the requirements and developments of the UK nuclear weapons programme against international and domestic pressures for a test ban treaty will be of interest to anyone studying post-war British defence and foreign policy history of science arms control disarmament and non-proliferation and international relations. It also provides important background information on current events involving nuclear proliferation and disarmament. | British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

Émile Durkheim and the Birth of the Gods Clans Incest Totems Phratries Hordes Mana Taboos Corroborees Sodalities Menstrual Blood A

The Birth of the Gods is dedicated to Durkheim's effort to understand the basis of social integration. Unlike most social scientists then and now Durkheim concluded that humans are naturally more individualistic than collectivistic that the primal social unit for humans is the macro-level unit ('the horde') rather than the family and that social cohesion is easily disrupted by human self-interest. Hence for Durkheim one of the gravest problems facing sociology is how to mold these human proclivities to serve the collective good. The analysis of elementary religions Durkheim believed would allow social scientists to see the fundamental basis of solidarity in human societies built around collective representations totems marking sacred forces and emotion-arousing rituals directed at these totems. The first half of the book traces the key influences and events that led Durkheim to embrace such novel generalizations. The second part makes a significant contribution to sociological theory with an analysis that essentially tests Durkheim's core assumptions using cladistic analysis social network tools and theory and data on humans closest living relatives—the great apes. Maryanski marshals hard data from primatology paleontology archaeology genetics and neuroscience that enlightens and surprisingly confirms many of Durkheim’s speculations. These data show that integration among both humans and great apes is not so much group or kin oriented per se but orientation to a community standing outside each individual that includes a sense of self but also encompassing a cognitive awareness of a sense of community or a connectedness that transcends sensory reality and concrete social relations. This community complex as Maryanski terms it is what Durkheim was beginning to see although he did not have the data to buttress his arguments as Maryanski is able to do. | Émile Durkheim and the Birth of the Gods Clans Incest Totems Phratries Hordes Mana Taboos Corroborees Sodalities Menstrual Blood A

California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom COVID-19 and the Test of Leadership

California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom COVID-19 and the Test of Leadership

California went through a political earthquake of sorts when the state recalled Governor Gray Davis in 2003. In 2021 the state faced another political turning point with the threatened recall of Governor Gavin Newsom. Less than two years after Newsom’s overwhelming election victory more than two million Californians signed on to the recall effort hoping to expel him from office in a special election. How could such a monumental turnabout be possible? Normally the political headwinds would be much too strong for a movement to oust a governor who had decisively vanquished his opponent. But-with the COVID-19 pandemic dominating every aspect of society including politics-these weren’t normal times. Organizing a recall election is a demanding enterprise: it takes abundant political energy tremendous amounts of anger with the status quo and mounds of money. Yet for the second time in less than two decades such wheels were set in motion. What is it that makes California so dynamic yet so fragile? This book explains that paradox and in the process enlightens readers about the recall process the challenges of federalism and the pitfalls of direct democracy. It examines the underlying conditions that expose a state with poorly linked institutions a bitterly divided society and a governor who had to act under nearly impossible conditions demonstrating his strengths and vulnerabilities along the way. It’s a story that could happen only in California a state with a history of only stories. Designed to be useful in a variety of college courses this book is the first to unveil the Newsom backstory and will appeal to pundits and politicos as well as interested general readers. | California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom COVID-19 and the Test of Leadership

Pregnancy Delivery Childbirth A Gender and Cultural History from Antiquity to the Test Tube in Europe

Pregnancy Delivery Childbirth A Gender and Cultural History from Antiquity to the Test Tube in Europe

This book reconstructs the history of conception pregnancy and childbirth in Europe from antiquity to the 20th century focusing on its most significant turning points: the emergence of a medical-scientific approach to delivery in Ancient Greece the impact of Christianity the establishment of the man-midwife in the 18th century the medicalisation of childbirth the emergence of a new representation of the foetus as unborn citizen and finally the revolution of reproductive technologies. The book explores a history that far from being linear progressive or homogeneous is characterised by significant continuities as well as transformations. The ways in which a woman gives birth and lives her pregnancy and the postpartum period are the result of a complex series of factors. The book therefore places these events in their wider cultural social and religious contexts which influenced the forms taken by rituals and therapeutic practices religious and civil prescriptions and the regulation of the female body. The investigation of this complex experience represents a crucial contribution to cultural social and gender history as well as an indispensable tool for understanding today’s reality. It will be of great use to undergraduates studying the history of childbirth the history of medicine the history of the body as well as women's and gender history more broadly. | Pregnancy Delivery Childbirth A Gender and Cultural History from Antiquity to the Test Tube in Europe
