The First Russian Radical Alexander Radishchev 1749-1802

When this was originally published in 1959 it was the first full-length biography of Alexander Radishchev published outside Russia and was based on hitherto unpublished material memoir literature and Radishchev’s own writings.

The Psychology of Political Polarization

The Psychology of Political Polarization

The Psychology of Political Polarization was inspired by the notion that to understand the momentum of radical political movements it is important to understand the attitudes of individual citizens who support such movements. Leading political psychologists have contributed to this important book in which they share their latest ideas about political polarization – a complex phenomenon that cannot be traced back to a single cause and that is associated with intolerance overconfidence and irrational beliefs. The book explores the basis of political polarization as being how citizens think and feel about people with a different worldview how they perceive minority groups and how much they trust leaders and experts on pressing societal issues such as climate change health international relations and poverty. The chapters are organized into two sections that examine what psychological processes and what social factors contribute to polarization among regular citizens. The book also describes practical strategies and interventions to depolarize people. The book offers a state-of-the-art introduction to the psychology of political polarization which will appeal to the academic market and political professionals.

Transcending Addiction An Existential Pathway to Recovery

Transcending Addiction An Existential Pathway to Recovery

Addiction is often thought about in terms of cause be that brain chemistry attachment patterns or cognitive schemas. But this does not allow an understanding of what addiction is. It does not illuminate how addiction is lived. A phenomenology of addiction reveals that addiction is characterised by an intolerance of pain a pursuit of pleasure immediacy technocratic solutions alienation ambiguity and is drenched in deception. These are its individual clinical manifestations but this is also the way life in this century is lived. The addict is thus the ultimate 21st century subject consuming without end intolerant of emotion and unable to grasp their own limitations. Rather than embraced these subjects act as a denied symptom haunting late capitalism and exposing the vampire-like nature of our culture. As such these subjects need to be treated not just as individuals who have gone too far but as victims of the political agenda shaping our lives. Thus the heart of the book is a description of addiction deepened by existential-phenomenological theory. This description is then used to understand the historical emergence of addiction its socio-political manifestation and also the crucial issue of how to clinically treat the addict-subject. | Transcending Addiction An Existential Pathway to Recovery

Climate Changed Refugee Border Stories and the Business of Misery

Climate Changed Refugee Border Stories and the Business of Misery

Climate Changed is an honest humane account about the rapid downsizing of the world’s natural resources and the consequences this has for millions of people who year after year are displaced from their home countries because of politically-instigated and economically-justified war and conflict. Based on interviews with 110 refugees who arrived into Europe from 2015 to 2018 and observations of refugee camps border crossings inner-city slums social housing projects NGO and related refugee associations this book offers a moving insight into the refugee experience of leaving home crossing borders and settling in Europe. Briggs sets this against the geopolitical and commercial enterprise that dismantled refugees’ countries in the international chase for wilting quantities of the world’s natural resources. At every point of their journey to their new lives and in the resettlement process the refugees are victimised and exploited as there is always money to be made from them. Even if refugees’ labour is in demand there is a European social climate of intolerance and stigma which jeopardises integration and counters their well-being and safety. The climate has changed. This book will appeal to students and scholars in core areas of sociology environmental and sustainability studies human geography and politics. Policymakers practitioners and voluntary workers within the sector of frontline immigration as well as aid workers town planners and welfare support staff will also find this book of interest. | Climate Changed Refugee Border Stories and the Business of Misery

Straight Skin Gay Masks and Pretending to be Gay on Screen

Straight Skin Gay Masks and Pretending to be Gay on Screen

Straight Skin Gay Masks and Pretending to Be Gay on Screen examines cinematic depictions of pretending-to-be-gay assessing performances that not only reflect heteronormative and explicitly homophobic attitudes but also offer depictions of gay selfhood with more nuanced multidirectional identifications. The case of straight protagonists pretending to be gay on screen is the ideal context in which to study unanticipated progressivity and dissidence in regard to cultural construction of human sexualities in the face of theatricalized epistemological collapse. Teasing apart the dynamics of depictions of both sexual stability and fluidity in cinematic images of men pretending to be gay offers new insights into such salient issues as sexual vulnerability and dynamics and long-term queer visibility in a politically complicated mass culture which is mostly produced in a heteronormative and even hostile cultural environment. Additionally this book initially examines queer uses of sexuality masquerade in Alternate Gay World Cinema that allegorically features a world pretending to be gay in which straights are harassed and persecuted in order to expose the tragic consequences of sexual intolerance. Films and TV series examined as part of the analysis include The Gay Deceivers Victor/Victoria Happy Texas William Friedkin’s Cruising and many other straight and gay screens. This is a fascinating and important study relevant to students and researchers in Film Studies Media Studies Gender Studies Queer Studies Sexuality Studies Communication Studies and Cultural Studies. | Straight Skin Gay Masks and Pretending to be Gay on Screen

Trump Effect

Trump Effect

Professor Karina V. Korostelina presents insights into the Trump effect and explains how the support for Trump among the American general public is based on three complementary pillars. First Trump champions a specific conception of American national identity that empowers his supporters. Second Trump's leadership has to an extent been crafted from his ability to recognize where and with whom he can get the most return on his investment (e. g. his political comments) and address the perceived general malaise in the U. S. Trump also mirrors the emotions of a disenfranchised American public and inspires the use of frustration based anger and insults to achieve desired aims. He addresses the public’s intolerance of uncertainty and ambivalence by providing simpler solutions to complex national problems and by blurring the boundary betweent he leading political parties. Further Trump employs existing political polarization and has established a new kind of morality. Third Trump challenges the existing political balance of power within the U. S. and globally. The overarching goal of this book is to show how the popularity of Trump has revealed substantial problems in the social political and economic fabric of American life. Aimed at the general public and students in the U. S. and internationally the book goes beyond many explanations of the Trump Effect. Using a multidisciplinary theoretical lens it provides a systemic multifaceted analysis based on multiple theories of social identity emotions cognitions morality and power to explain the broader social phenomena of the rise of individuals in society.

Politicised Cinema Post-War Film Cultural Diplomacy and UNESCO

Politicised Cinema Post-War Film Cultural Diplomacy and UNESCO

Politicised Cinema demonstrates how taking a collection of seemingly apolitical films and using them as an instrument for serving explicit political aims can be used as a force for good. Through an analysis of Orient: A Survey of Films Produced in Countries of Arab and Asian Culture a film catalogue published by UNESCO and the BFI in 1959 to promote intercultural understanding between the East and the West this book argues for the importance of studying the ways the interpretation of films can be guided to serve a specific political agenda even when the films themselves were originally produced with very different aims in mind. The author focuses on how the catalogue positions culture and its cinematic representations as a marker of difference between the Eastern and Western worlds and shows that even major cultural conflicts such as the Cold War and the decolonisation process can be reframed in service of UNESCO’s cultural diplomatic agenda. The book explores the ways in which the catalogue of Eastern films deemed suitable for Western audiences became a weapon to fight against prejudice intolerance and bigotry in a politicised battle over dismantling the proclaimed link between difference and conflict. This book will be of interest to students researchers and academics in visual politics cinematic international relations cultural diplomacy global governance and international cultural politics as well as film studies Asian studies and cultural studies. In addition policymakers and practitioners in the fields of cultural diplomacy and cultural policy will find the empirical case study to be of use in practical work. | Politicised Cinema Post-War Film Cultural Diplomacy and UNESCO

The Language of Hate A Corpus Lingusitic Analysis of White Supremacist Language

The Language of Hate A Corpus Lingusitic Analysis of White Supremacist Language

In this book Andrew Brindle analyzes a corpus of texts taken from a white supremacist web forum which refer to the subject of homosexuality drawing conclusions about the discourses of extremism and the dissemination of far-right hate speech online. The website from which Brindle’s corpus is drawn Stormfront has been described as the most powerful active influence in the White Nationalist movement (Kim 2005). Through a linguistic analysis of the data combining corpus linguistic methodologies and a critical discourse analysis approach Brindle examines the language used to construct heterosexual white masculinities as well as posters’ representations of gay men racial minorities and other out-groups and how such groups are associated by the in-group. Brindle applies three types of analysis to the corpus: a corpus-driven approach centered on the study of frequency keywords collocation and concordance analyses; a detailed qualitative study of posts from the forum and the threads in which they are located; and a corpus-based approach which combines the corpus linguistic and qualitative analyses. The analysis of the data demonstrates a convergence of reactionary responses to not only women gay men and lesbians but also to racial minorities. Brindle’s findings suggest that due to the forum format of the data topics are discussed and negotiated rather than dictated unilaterally as would be the case in a hierarchical organization. This research-based study of white supremacist discourse on the Internet facilitates understanding of hate speech and the behavior of extremist groups with the aim of providing tools to combat elements of extremism and intolerance in society. | The Language of Hate A Corpus Lingusitic Analysis of White Supremacist Language

Statistical Process Control

Statistical Process Control

The business commercial and public-sector world has changed dramatically since John Oakland wrote the first edition of Statistical Process Control – a practical guide in the mid-eighties. Then people were rediscovering statistical methods of ‘quality control’ and the book responded to an often desperate need to find out about the techniques and use them on data. Pressure over time from organizations supplying directly to the consumer typically in the automotive and high technology sectors forced those in charge of the supplying production and service operations to think more about preventing problems than how to find and fix them. Subsequent editions retained the ‘took kit’ approach of the first but included some of the ‘philosophy’ behind the techniques and their use. The theme which runs throughout the 7th edition is still processes - that require understanding have variation must be properly controlled have a capability and need improvement - the five sections of this new edition. SPC never has been and never will be simply a ‘took kit’ and in this book the authors provide not only the instructional guide for the tools but communicate the management practices which have become so vital to success in organizations throughout the world. The book is supported by the authors' extensive and latest consulting work within thousands of organisations worldwide. Fully updated to include real-life case studies new research based on client work from an array of industries and integration with the latest computer methods and Minitab software the book also retains its valued textbook quality through clear learning objectives and end of chapter discussion questions. It can still serve as a textbook for both student and practicing engineers scientists technologists managers and for anyone wishing to understand or implement modern statistical process control techniques.

Bandwidth Recovery For Schools Helping Pre-K-12 Students Regain Cognitive Resources Lost to Poverty Trauma Racism and Social Marginalization

Bandwidth Recovery For Schools Helping Pre-K-12 Students Regain Cognitive Resources Lost to Poverty Trauma Racism and Social Marginalization

Are students coming to your class lacking focus having difficulty connecting with you and their peers falling behind or acting out when you instinctively feel they could do better? Do you sometimes feel like you don’t have the capacity as a teacher or school leader to give students the support they need to learn and thrive? This book makes the case that societal realities-such as poverty racism and social marginalization-result in depleted cognitive resources for students and for those who are trying to help them succeed. Each of us has a finite amount of mental bandwidth the cognitive resources that are available for learning development work taking care of ourselves and our families and everything else we have to do. These “attentional resources” are not about how smart we are but about how much of our brain power is available to us for the task at hand. When bandwidth is taken up by the stress of persistent economic insecurity or the negative experiences of racism classism homophobia religious intolerance sexism ableism etc. there is less available for learning and growth. This is as true for young children and youth as for their parents and teachers. The first half of the book makes the case that poverty and these “differentisms” deplete the bandwidth of students parents and teachers. The second sets out concepts and strategies that help people recover the bandwidth they need to learn and thrive. Cia Verschelden describes strategies that can help students recover bandwidth including acknowledging the “funds of knowledge” of students and their families promoting growth mindsets using reflective practices to build a sense of belonging for all students fostering peer collaboration and implementing restorative practices in lieu of punitive measures to deal with problematic behavior as well as a rich selection of Ideas in Practice contributed by experienced teachers and school leaders. Cia recognizes that many teachers are working in schools with inadequate support systems and facilities and with scarce materials and may be spending their often inadequate pay on school supplies for their classrooms and food for their hungry students. She offers practical ideas for creating moreteacher-supportive systems and addresses how principals and administrators can harness teachers’ ideas and energies to create inclusive and successful learning environments for all students. The book includes a case study of Rochester New York – where the economy has been decimated with the closure of major employers – and how its financially strapped school system worked with colleagues at the University of Rochester to use the distributed leadership of its teachers with the active support of principals and superintendents to revitalize its schools to better serve its diverse and low-income student population. This book is for teachers parents school leaders and members of communities who are interested in the well-being of children and youth and the education of all our children. All of us have a stake in a public school system from which students emerge as fully-formed learners and thinkers and who believe in their ability to affect what happens to them and their communities. | Bandwidth Recovery For Schools Helping Pre-K-12 Students Regain Cognitive Resources Lost to Poverty Trauma Racism and Social Marginalization
