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

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

Understanding Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology Science Testing and Challenges

Understanding Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology Science Testing and Challenges

Understanding Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology thoroughly examines the meaning of culture in the context of neuropsychology focusing on the fundamental neuroscience underlying how different aspects of culture influence neuropsychological test performance and how that is related to brain function. It explores in detail the relationship between brain activity and culture and the influence of various cultural educational and linguistic factors on neuropsychological test performances across various cognitive domains. Written by leadings researchers in cross-cultural neuropsychology the book first introduces the basic concepts in the field. It goes on to focus on the influence of cultural variables on specific domains of cognition including perception attention memory language and executive functions. It also explores the implications of cross-cultural neuropsychology in practice including a focus on test adaptation the use of interpreters the influence of acculturation and the practice of neuropsychological rehabilitation in different cultural settings. This book is essential reading for neuropsychologists and related practitioners working with culturally diverse clients who need a good grasp of the cultural impacts on neuropsychological test performance when assessing clients from different cultural linguistic and educational backgrounds. It is also valuable for neuropsychologists in countries around the world who need a means of understanding the ways in which their culture impacts the performances of their clients on tests which have been mostly developed in the U. S. or other Western cultures. | Understanding Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology Science Testing and Challenges
