Sexual Deceit - Dr. Kelby Harrison - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Sexual Deceit is an extended ethical analysis of the phenomenon of sexual identity passing — i.e. socially presenting as X, when one understands oneself as Y, where the variables represent any contemporary sexual identity — alongside identity passing in the contexts of race, gender, and briefly, religion and class. The analysis of passing utilizes and challenges traditional moral understandings of identity falsification, complicating our understandings of moral obligations under systemic oppression. Tracing the intervention of social construction theory on contemporary political understandings of LGBT communities and activism, Sexual Deceit argues against social construction models of identity — notably performativity, promulgated by the work of Judith Butler and consumed and repeated by many scholars and theory educated queer people. A new model of identity is constructed, based on a phenomenological concept of style that provides for a socially adjustable yet rooted notion of sexual identity. The ethical implications of sexual identity passing are considered in the context of eschatological images of social justice and within practical matters such as military service, leadership, and sexual harassment law.

Identity, Morality, and Threat - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Identity, Morality, and Threat offers a critical examination of the social psychological processes that generate outgroup devaluation and ingroup glorification as the source of conflict. Dr. Daniel Rothbart and Dr. Karina Korostelina bring together essays analyzing the causal relationship between escalating violence and opposing images of the Self and Other. The essays confront the practice of demonizing the Other as a justification for violent conflict and the conditions that enable these distorted images to shape future decisions. The authors provide insight into the possibilities for transforming threat-narratives into collaboration-narratives, and for changing past opposition into mutual understanding. Identity, Morality, and Threat is a strong contribution to the study of identity-based conflict and psychological defenses.

Whose Will Be Done? - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

What is the proper relationship of religion to power? In this collection of essays, a group of interdisciplinary scholars address that question, building on the scholarship of the late Dr. Jean Bethke Elshtain. The first section of this book provides the reader with three previously unpublished essays by Elshtain on the subject of political sovereignty, followed by an interview with the noted ethicist and political theorist. Dr. Elshtain questions the nature of sovereignty in a world where some have elevated the state and the self above the authority of God himself. In the second section of the book, “Sovereignty through the Ages”, four scholars explore some of the key questions raised by Dr. Elshtain’s work on Just War, resistance to tyranny, political liberalism, and modernity, questioning the ways in which sovereignty may be conceived to reinforce the limitations of human societies and yet seek the greater good. In the third section of the book, entitled “Sovereignty in Context”, three essays extend her analysis of sovereignty to different contexts – Latin America, the Islamic world, and the international system as a whole, all the while demonstrating the importance of how religious interpretation contributes to our understanding of political power.

Decoding Ad Culture - Dr. Harisur Rahman - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Decoding Ad Culture: Television Commercials and Broadcast Regulations in Bangladesh critically examines the pervasive influence of Western multinational companies in South Asia, with a focus on Bangladesh. Harisur Rahman argues that these corporations exploit cultural differences to execute deceptive advertising in developing countries, a practice curtailed in more regulated developed nations. This book reveals a symbiotic relationship between local and multinational companies, media production houses, and television channels, which, Rahman posits, facilitates this exploitation. Adopting a qualitative methodology, this study delves into social backgrounds, cultural capital, and consumption habits in Bangladesh and utilizes multimodal critical discourse analysis and rhetorical analysis to evaluate television commercials (TVCs). These analyses reveal the propagation of racism, sexism, classism, and patriarchal values through this form, along with a disregard for ethical standards and social responsibilities. Highlighting the disillusionment among Bangladeshi audiences towards advertisers'' unmet promises, Rahman contrasts TVC regulations in developing and developed countries. The book concludes with policy recommendations to foster ethical advertising practices against mindless propaganda in Bangladesh, underscoring the need for equity, equality, and inclusivity in advertising standards.

Votes at 16 - Niall Guy Michelsen - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

At a time when American political institutions are under intense criticism and facing internal and external pressures, Americans must identify opportunities for changing the status quo. Rather than reject the system as fatally flawed, Niall Guy Michelsen argues that lowering the voting age to 16 will decrease the voting gap between the college and non-college citizens. Increasing voter turnout will make the American electorate more representative of the country and add needed voices to political debates. Dr. Michelsen analyzes the nature of voting habits and concludes that too many citizens start their adult lives as non-voters and become habitual non-voters as a result. Using voter turnout data and demographics, Dr. Michelsen shows that lowering the voting age to 16 would help both college-attending and non-college-attending young adults develop voting habits and raise voter turnout.

Reconciling and Rehumanizing Indigenous–Settler Relations - Nadia Ferrara - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Reconciling and Rehumanizing Indigenous-Settler Relations: An Applied Anthropological Perspective presents a unique and honest account of an applied anthropologist’s experience in working with Indigenous peoples of Canada. It illustrates Dr. Nadia Ferrara’s efforts in reconciliation and rehumanization, showing that it is all about recognizing our shared humanity. In this self-reflective narrative, the author describes her personal experience of marginalization and how it contributed to a more in-depth understanding of how others are marginalized, as well as the fundamental sense of belongingness and connectedness. The book is enriched with stories and insights from her fieldwork as a clinician, a university professor, and a bureaucrat. Dr. Ferrara shows how she has applied her experience as an art therapist in Indigenous communities to her current work in policy development to ensure the policies created reflect their current realities.

She makes a compassionate and urgent call to all North Americans to connect with their responsibility and compassion, and acknowledge the injustices that the original peoples of this land have faced and continue to face. Reconciliation requires concrete action and it starts with the individual’s self-reflection, engagement in authentic human-to-human dialogue, learning from one another, and working together towards a better future, all of which is chronicled in this insightful book.

The Debates of Liberty - Wendy Mcelroy - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In her pioneering work, The Debates of Liberty, Wendy McElroy provides a comprehensive examination of one of the most remarkable and influential political phenomena in America: the anarchist periodical Liberty and the circle of radicals who surrounded it. Liberty, which is widely considered to be the premier individualist-anarchist periodical ever issued in the English language, published such items as George Bernard Shaw''s first original article to appear in the United States and the first American translated excerpts of Friedrich Nietzsche. Arguably the world''s foremost expert on Liberty, Dr. McElroy exposes the reader to the controversy etched in each debate, ranging from radical civil liberties to economic theory, and from children''s rights to the basis of rent and interest. While addressing the facts, Dr. McElroy also conveys and captures the individualistic personalities that emerged: Lysander Spooner, Auberon Herbert, Joshua K. Ingalls, John Henry Mackay, Victor Yarros, and Wordsworth Donisthorpe are only a partial listing.

The Rhetoric of Project Apollo - Dr Kathy K Previs - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

On July 20, 1969, Americans not only landed on the Moon, but the televised spectacle forever changed the ways in which news and commentary about historical events would be presented to audiences. In The Rhetoric of Project Apollo , Kathy Previs provides a comprehensive analysis of the rhetorical strategies that CBS News employed in covering the Apollo missions from 1968–1972 and documents the role that NASA’s public relations office had in televising the exciting moonshots. She illustrates how CBS’s and NASA’s symbolic representations followed a “ritual view of communication,” enabling viewers to make sense of complex technological feats and scientific discoveries, while garnering public support for the costly missions. Based on four rhetorical categories – nationalism, romanticism, pragmatism, and technology – Previs also provides an in-depth analysis of which narratives have withstood the test of time in how Apollo is remembered on CBS News, and across a variety of televised platforms including CNN, the History Channel, and PBS, from 1973–2022, marking the 50th anniversary of Apollo''s last mission. From Cold War metaphors to now recognizing the role women had in Apollo’s successes, its story continues to resonate with and inspire audiences around the world.
