Ecology of Communication

Ecology of Communication

Altheide's new book advances the argument set in motion some years ago with 'Media Logic' and continued in 'Media Worlds in the Postjournalism Era:' that in our age information technology and the communication environments it posits have affected the private and the social spheres of all our power relationships redefining the ground rules for social life and concepts such as freedom and justice.

Lynd Ward’s Wordless Novels 1929-1937 Visual Narrative Cultural Politics Homoeroticism

Lynd Ward’s Wordless Novels 1929-1937 Visual Narrative Cultural Politics Homoeroticism

This book offers the first multidisciplinary analysis of the wordless novels of American woodcut artist and illustrator Lynd Ward (1905–1985) who has been enormously influential in the development of the contemporary graphic novel. The study examines his six pictorial novels each part of an evolving experiment in a new form of visual narrative that offers a keen intervention in the cultural and sexual politics of the 1930s. The novels form a discrete group – much like Beethoven’s piano sonatas or Keats’s great odes – in which Ward evolves a unique modernist style (cinematic expressionist futurist realist documentary) and grapples with significant cultural and political ideas in a moment when the American experiment and capitalism itself hung in the balance. In testing the limits of a new narrative form Ward’s novels require a versatile critical framework as sensitive to German Expressionism and Weimar cinema as to labor politics and the new energies of proletarian homosexuality. | Lynd Ward’s Wordless Novels 1929-1937 Visual Narrative Cultural Politics Homoeroticism

Taking Education Really Seriously Four Years Hard Labour

Taking Education Really Seriously Four Years Hard Labour

Michael Fielding looks at what the Labour Government has achieved in the last four years with its policy of 'education education education'. There has been widespread disappointment in New Labour's education policies which on the whole have not steered too far wide of those put in place by Margaret Thatcher including issues of marketisation testing and performativity. Michael Fielding has called on the key policy thinkers in education to offer their opinions on what has happened in education over the first three to four years of the New Labour Government. Education policy is a controversial subject and with a General Election expected within the next few months this book will be read widely by people within education politicians and journalists and by others anxious to get to facts and avoid the spin. The subject matter and the presence of so many high profile educationalists make this an essential read. | Taking Education Really Seriously Four Years Hard Labour

Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

This book offers the first non-official history of French nuclear policies which goes beyond the divide between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy policies. It addresses the sizing of France’s nuclear forces technological assistance to countries with nuclear weapons programs uranium prospection nuclear testing its health effects and protests against it as well as plans to prevent and manage accidents in nuclear power plants. It is based on new questions and new sources from France and abroad. The chapters in this volume show how independent and interdisciplinary scholarship free from conflicts of interests can uniquely advance our understanding of nuclear history and politics. This is the case because it does not treat the categories and judgments of official discourse as neutral starting points of the analysis. This volume is based on untapped primary sources from France the UK the US India South Africa and Iran on a new assessment of the health consequences of French nuclear testing in Polynesia thanks to a modern atmospheric particle transport code coupled with historical weather data open-source information about radioactive debris (“mushroom”) clouds as well as data on the composition and particle sizes of the fallout; and on new survey data about French knowledge of and attitudes towards nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. They show notably that the first generation of French nuclear forces lacked technical credibility despite reliance on outside help. Several French officials knew this as did France's allies and adversaries. Moreover French strategic collaborations associated to nuclear programs extended to India and South Africa; nuclear safety regulations changed fundamentally after the Cold War and approximately 110 000 people i. e. 90% of the French Polynesian population in the 1970s could have received doses that would qualify them for compensation according to French law. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of history politics international relations military history war studies conflict and global governance. Most of the chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in Cold War History. A few chapters were first published in the Nonproliferation Review Diplomacy & Statecraft and Science & Global Security. | Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

Mistrust Developmental Cultural and Clinical Realms

Mistrust Developmental Cultural and Clinical Realms

Humans are weak. Lacking the claws and thick skins of other animals we are forced to rely on members of our own species to survive and flourish in the world. The fact that the human infant is born in an utterly helpless state also makes others' protective care necessary. Attachment bonding concern and mutuality thus become cornerstones of human existence. Trust also enters this equation. Originating in the early mother-child relationship trust continues to grow get contextually refined tempered by reality testing and gain nuances throughout the subsequent adult life. Its absence (mistrust) or malformation (distrust) contributes to psychopathology and is responsible for much intrapsychic distress and interpersonal strife. Given its formative significance and it crucial role in the therapeutic process one is surprised by the paucity of psychoanalytic writings specifically devoted to the topic of trust and mistrust. Few if any monographs on trust exist. A collection of essays written specifically for this volume it deals with the ontogenesis psychopathology cultural vicissitudes and technical implications of trust and mistrust. | Mistrust Developmental Cultural and Clinical Realms
