What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

Philosophers Bob Fischer and Anja Jauernig agree that human society often treats animals in indefensible ways and that all animals morally matter; they disagree on whether humans and animals morally matter equally. In What Do We Owe Other Animals?: A Debate Fischer and Jauernig square off over this central question in animal ethics. Jauernig defends the view that all living beings morally matter equally and are owed compassion on account of which we are also obligated to adopt a vegan diet. Fischer denies that we have an obligation to become vegans and argues for the position that humans morally matter more than all other living creatures. The two authors each offer a clear well-developed opening statement a direct response to the other’s statement and then a response to the other’s response. Along the way they explore central questions like: What kind of beings matter morally? What kind of obligations do we have towards other animals? How demanding can we reasonably expect these obligations to be? Do our individual consumer choices such as the choice to purchase factory-farmed animal products make a difference to the wellbeing of animals? The debate is helpfully framed by introductions and conclusions to each of the major parts and by smaller introductions to each of the sub-sections. A Foreword by Dustin Crummett sets the context for the debate within a larger discussion of sentience moral standing reason-guided compassion and the larger field of animal ethics. Key Features Showcases the presentation and defense of two points of view on the moral worth of non-human animals Provides frequent summaries of previously covered material Includes a topically-organized list of Further Readings and a Glossary of all specialized vocabulary | What Do We Owe Other Animals?

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

In comparison with Literary Studies and Media and Film Studies the disciplines of Theatre and Performance with their strong anthropocentric heritage have been relatively slow in responding to such things as climate change species extinction or pollution and toxicity etc. However in the wake of recent work on animals cyborgs and objects as well as publications with a specific focus on ecology and environment there are real signs that theatre and performance scholars are beginning to make their own contribution to the Environmental Humanities. But if theatre critics are engaged in new forms of ecocritical analysis it is worth posing a pertinent question from the outset: namely what can theatre do ecologically? In this book leading researchers and practitioners seek to answer that question from a number of perspectives and with diverse methodologies. Topics include: reflections on rehearsal processes scores for performance site-based interventions ideas of conflict investigations of temporality and time ecology ecospectating and the experience of disappointment. Taken together these essays make an important intervention in the emergent (inter)disciplines of the Environmental Humanities and further our understanding of the ecological potential of Theatre and Performance in ways that are cautious tentative but also generative. This book was originally published as a special issue of Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism. | Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Evolution Politics and Charisma: Why do Populists Win? shines compelling new light on the way in which the systematic targeting and manipulation of human physiology remain a cornerstone of all populist political campaigns. Readers wishing to make sense of the populist juggernauts of Trump and Brexit and of the cyclical and formulaic nature of the rise and fall of charismatic populism will find this book particularly appealing. Elesa Zehndorfer begins by presenting a highly applied explanation of the critical importance of political physiology physiology theory neuroscience and evolutionary biology in populist charismatic politics. She later eloquently explains how manipulation of physiological variables (such as heightened testosterone and dopamine) renders the political rally one of the most powerful weapons in a populist leaders’ campaign. Weber’s seminal conceptualisation of charisma ‘in statu nascendi’ and Hyman Minsky’s insightful theories of cyclical boom-and-bust scenarios are then juxtaposed alongside physiological theory to greatly amplify our understanding of the powerful biological antecedents of charismatic populism. These theoretical observations are then applied directly to recent high-profile populist campaigns – including the 2016 Trump Presidential campaign and early Presidency – and the Brexit referendum to elucidating and compelling effect. Ultimately Evolution Politics and Charisma paints a clear evolutionary picture of the way in which politics is an emotional – not a rational – process where our emotions are continually targeted to great and strategic effect and where the most recent intersection of technology and physiology has driven the greatest surge in populism ever seen across the Western hemisphere since the 1930’s. Acknowledging this reality opens up exciting vistas in our understanding of the true power of charismatic populism and provides answers as to how its seductive and often dangerous power can be effectively resisted. | Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

The agenda of external actors often includes a number of objectives that do not necessarily and automatically go together. Fostering security and stability in semi-authoritarian regimes collides with policies aimed at the support of processes of democratization prone to conflict and destabilization. Meanwhile the promotion of national self-determination and political empowerment might lead to forms of democracy partially incompatible with liberal understandings. These conflicting objectives are often problematized as challenges to the effectiveness of international democracy promotion. This book presents systematic research about their emergence and effects. The contributing authors investigate (post-) conflict societies developing countries and authoritarian regimes in Southeast Europe Latin America Africa and Asia. They identify the socio-economic and political conditions in the recipient country the interaction between international and local actors and the capacity of international and local actors as relevant for explaining the emergence of conflicting objectives. And they empirically show that faced with conflicting objectives donors either use a ‘wait and see’-approach (i. e. not to act to overcome such conflicts) they prioritize security state-building and development over democracy or they compromise democracy promotion with other goals. However convincing strategies for dealing with such conflicts still need to be devised. This book was published as a special issue of Democratization. | Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

Unchecked Corporate Power Why the Crimes of Multinational Corporations Are Routinized Away and What We Can Do About It

Unchecked Corporate Power Why the Crimes of Multinational Corporations Are Routinized Away and What We Can Do About It

Why are crimes of the suite punished more leniently than crimes of the street? When police killings of citizens go unpunished political torture is sanctioned by the state and the financial frauds of Wall Street traders remain unprosecuted nothing succeeds with such regularity as the active failures of national states to obstruct the crimes of the powerful. Written from the perspective of global sustainability and as an unflinching and unforgiving exposé of the full range of the crimes of the powerful Unchecked Corporate Power reveals how legalized authorities and political institutions charged with the duty of protecting citizens from law-breaking and injurious activities have increasingly become enablers and colluders with the very enterprises they are obliged to regulate. Here Gregg Barak explains why the United States and other countries are duplicitous in their harsh reactions to street crimes in comparison to the significantly more harmful and far-reaching crimes of the powerful and why the crimes of the powerful are treated as beyond incrimination. What happens to nations that surrender ever-growing economic and political power to the globally super rich and the mammoth multinational corporations they control? And what can people from around the world do to resist the criminality and victimization perpetrated by multinationals and generated by the prevailing global political economy? Barak examines an array of multinational crimes—corporate environmental financial and state—and their state-legal responses and outlines policies and strategies for revolutionizing these contradictory relations of capital reproduction criminality and unsustainability. | Unchecked Corporate Power Why the Crimes of Multinational Corporations Are Routinized Away and What We Can Do About It

The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui

The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui

Achieved at the height of the Crusades the Christian conquests of Santarém in 1147 by King Afonso I and of Alcácer do Sal in 1217 by Portuguese forces and northern European warriors on their way by sea to Palestine were crucial events in the creation of the independent kingdom of Portugal. The two texts presented here survive in their unique thirteenth-century manuscript copies appended to a codex belonging to one of Europe’s most important monastic library collections accumulated in the Cistercian abbey of Alcobaça founded c. 1153 by Bernard of Clairvaux. Accompanied by comprehensive introductions and here translated into English for the first time these extraordinary texts are based on eyewitness testimony of the conquests. They contain much detail for the military historian including data on operational tactics and the ideology of Christian holy war in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Literary historians too will be delighted by the astonishing styles deployed demonstrating considerable authorial flamboyance flair and innovation. While they are likely written by Goswin of Bossut the search for authorship yields an impressive array of literary friends and associates including James of Vitry Thomas of Cantimpré Oliver of Paderborn and Caesarius of Heisterbach. | The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui
