Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Sacred words often provide succor, summoned to comfort individual victims and entire communities ravaged by acts of violence. History also demonstrates, however, that religious discourse, like rhetoric itself, functions as a pharmakonboth a remedy and a poison. Religious discourse evoked to incite or justify violence functions as a kind of rancor or intense partisan anger that distorts reality, exacerbates harm, and eschews the accountability of its perpetrators. Moreover, a third function of religious rhetoric synthesizes sacred succor and rancor to express the productive tension of righteous indignation employed by speakers to decry violence and demand social justice.This compendium of both historic and contemporary speeches on the intersecting themes of religion, rhetoric, and violence endeavors to complicate the rhetoric/violence binary by interpolating religion (another foundational and cultural belief inextricably entangled with both rhetoric and violence) into the dialectic. Rhetorical artifacts, including religious speeches by Sojourner Truth, Joseph Biden, Harvey Milk, Tony Kushner, Pope Francis, Barak Obama, Julius Streicher, Josef Schuster, and Jefferson Sessions are analyzed, from rhetorical approaches, as responses to policies, laws and historic events with their basis in sacred and rancorous religion rhetoric.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book explores the margins of journalism: the peripheral journalists and media organisations who have been overlooked in our efforts to understand a changing journalistic field. Seeing local journalists as unmapped agents of the journalistic field, this book provides a comprehensive study of local journalism in the post-socialist, post-transitional Czech media system, and conceptualises these actors as unique agents within the journalistic field. Informed by Pierre Bourdieus field theory, it adopts an inductive approach, presenting the stories of specific journalists derived from interviews and participant observation in the places where they work, alongside surveys of local newspapers. From these studies, this book systematically maps these peripheral, journalistic actors and their positions in the journalistic field, accounting for their relationships and the trends shaping Czech journalism to give voice to those who are not usually heard journalists on the margins.

Innovation anthropologistDominique Desjeux offers an unexpected solution to this oft-revisited enigma.In the year 70, the Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed. The Jews were in danger ofdisappearing, even though they represented nearly 8% of the empire's population. Tosurvive, the Jews had to make a strategic choice between several controversies: theresurrection of the dead, proselytism, the application of circumcision and dietaryprohibitions.One school of thought proposed refocusing on the purity of rules. This later gave riseto Rabbinical Judaism. Another Jewish current favored globalization. It proposed areligious product that was easier to disseminate. It did away with circumcision andkashrut, included eternal life, which reassured against the uncertainties of the future,and baptism, which simplified the rituals of purification. This current was excludedfrom synagogues. A few centuries later, it gave rise to Christianity. Any resemblanceto todays innovations and crises is not accidental. 2,000 years ago, Judaism was becoming an attractive product in the market of Mediterraneanreligions.

Softcover. Zustand: Gut. 3rd edition. 220 S. Cover slightly rubbed. - Summary: Applied Theatre: Bewilderment and Beyond explores the practice of theatre in communities and social institutions with marginalised groups. It shifts between contexts and countries to examine different ways that theatre has been applied to a wide range of social issues. Theatre projects in Brazil, Burkina Faso, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom are analysed to argue for a complex and questioning view of the practice. Initiatives in prisons, developing countries, war situations and participatory research projects become the sites to interrogate the claims that applied theatre can be a theatre for social change. Many practitioners and researchers have witnessed powerful applied theatre projects but nonetheless struggled to articulate the reasons for the projects' success. This book uses the questions inspired by that perplexity to create a case for applied theatre as a major area of contemporary theatre practice. - Contents: Preface: 'Applied', a preface to 'theatre' -- Introduction: 'Making a break for it' -- On the matter of action -- Theatre in bewilderment -- Atelier Théâtre Burkinabé: applied theatre and the bourgeois gentilhomme -- Theatre action research: a democracy of the ground -- Becoming ethical -- Conclusion: Theatre garlands.

Originalpappband. Zustand: Sehr gut. VIII, 191 S. Over seventy years since the invasion, France is still preoccupied on both a political and a cultural level with the guilt and shame of the Nazi Occupation. The ethical ambiguities of this era and its aftermath continue to raise political, historical and juridical debates in the present day. This book examines the different expressions of shame in literary and filmic narratives of the war and Occupation produced since the end of the war and explores how over the intervening years these narrative manifestations of the wartime shame of individuals constitute a collective legacy. By legacy, I mean a haunting trajectory over time within each generation and between generations. A legacy of shame recognizes the different 'faces' of collective shame and presents their ^integrated status in collective memory and history.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Relatively recently it has been acknowledged that Black women too often experience extreme psychological distress such as depression, anxiety disorders, panic, phobias, fear, eating disorders, low self-esteem, loneliness from social isolation, PTSD/PTSS, emotional pain, suffering, and suicide to name a few. Mental health conditions both negatively or positively affect their physical health and wellbeing. For example, depression is found to be associated with an increased risk of hypertension and other chronic illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis (Badescu et al. 2016; DeMoss et al. 2020; van Tuijl et al. 2023; Webb, 2022). We, Black Superwomen, have a long history of denying our mental health challenges. The status of Black womens mental health has always shown up in our physical reality and, currently, we are in another moment of awareness that seeks to clarify the health consequences and costs of the Black superwoman trope. Originally published in 1978, Michele Wallace brought to our attention the myth of the Black Superwoman highlighting our struggles and humanity. More recently Marita Golden in 2021 explored the same issue interviewing Black women about the hidden mental health crisis surrounding their lives. Her book offers crucial stories about how important it is for Black women to ask for help, learn strategies for healing, and build self-care into their lives.Unfortunately, when we do strive to heal ourselves, we encounter difficulties concerning access to care. So, we must creatively and collectively develop innovative avenues of care for ourselves. We, Black (Super)women, must prioritize our health and wellbeing not alone but also in concert with other Black women who are on similar journeys. Conferences such as the Annual Strong Black Women Redefined Conference (Renaye) offering self-love healing retreats organized for and by Black women, and podcasts like Therapy for Black Girls (Harden-Bradford) are designed to help. Today, there are a range of actions, methods, and expressive therapies to help soothe the soul, but many of us dont take advantage. Reading The Black Superwoman and Mental Health: Power and Pain is one step not only for ourselves as individuals, but for our communities as well. We must continue the early education of Black girls and other women towards healthier mental and physical wellbeing. It is not easy to reveal oneself and to be vulnerable in a public way as the authors in this book have done. This is the act of resisting the voices and social scripts that say we do not air our "dirty laundry", we should keep "secrets" to remain safe, yet unhealthy. Audrey Lord encouraged us to speak out as our silence will not protect us and it will certainly harm our psychological and physical health and well-being (Van de Mortele, 2016). Therefore, we must find safe spaces to speak our truths, to heal. We sincerely thank these authors of poetry, short stories, essays, and research for their contributions as they bear witness to many of the circumstances that inform our lives. It is through the process of seeking, doing, and being, sometimes in private counseling (or psychotherapy), that many of us learn to acknowledge, analyze, speak, and eventually write the truth of/about our lives and to move closer to being whole black women. This edited volume contains essays, stories, and poetry from Black women struggling to play superwoman. It examines mental health issues amongst Black women exploring how they feel, what they do, and why they must fight to maintain a sense of wholeness.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. La Guerra en Ucrania ha supuesto un cambio de paradigma en la politica de seguridad y defensa de la UE. Ha pasado de ser un tabu en el proceso de integracion europea a ocupar un lugar central en la agenda comunitaria. Tal revitalizacion venia produciendose de manera progresiva desde la Estrategia Global para la Politica Exterior y de Seguridad de 2016. Sin embargo, el contexto belico transforma la dimension del proceso. Paradojicamente, nos obliga a dotarnos de capacidades de seguridad y defensa nunca antes previstas, pero nos hace mas dependientes y menos autonomos en nuestra capacidad de decision. Este libro analizara criticamente el desafio que supone, asi como los nuevos instrumentos de que se dota la UE en esta materia. La guerra obliga a la UE a reinventarse como actor geopolitico y de seguridad, en lugar de actuar solo como un actor normativo y tecnocratico. This monograph explores the current state of the European Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) in the context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Dr. Jose Luis de Castro argues, with precision and clarity, that the Ukraine crisis has both quantitatively and qualitatively transformed the CSDP while, paradoxically, reducing its strategic autonomy. He convincingly posits the hypothesis that effective security on the European continent will only be guaranteed with Russia's participation. --Andreu Olesti Rayo, Professor of Public International Law and International Relations, Universitat de Barcelona This work is a complete, original, and innovative analysis of the Ukraine war. It is an important contribution to the studies on security and defense in Europe. The author convincingly explains how increasing the military capabilities of the European Union will not make it a more autonomous actor in the international context, because it is key to build an inclusive European security order with Russia. --Maria Sagrario Moran, Professor of Public International Law and International Relations, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos La Guerra en Ucrania ha supuesto un cambio de paradigma en la politica de seguridad y defensa de la UE.El texto analiza el estado actual de esta politica en esta nueva coyuntura.La guerra obliga a la UE a reinventarse como actor geopolitico y de seguridad, en lugar de actuar solo como un actor normativo y tecnocratico.

Confronting Toxic Rhetoric contributes to the extant scholarship on toxic rhetoric, specifically the negative and extreme political discourse surrounding the Trump years of campaigning, rallying, tweeting, holding office, and the ongoing culture war in the US (Duffy, 2020). Toxic rhetoric challenged the foundational purposes of teaching writing and rhetoric, such as ethical argumentation and critical thinking. Teachers narratives, case studies, and reflections bring to light the ruptures, resistance, and resilience of teaching amid the extreme polarization of partisan politics, distrust of science, and increased hate speech, among other issues associated with toxic rhetoric. Readers will learn from teachers who were challenged to cope with toxic rhetoric, using both rhetorical and extra-disciplinary lenses. Their experiences present a vulnerable yet resolved expression of coping, activism, and belief in the future of rhetoric and democracy."Toxic rhetoric is the proverbial fly in the soup of our political and public discourse, poisoning our politics, and by extension, our classrooms. Confronting Toxic Rhetoric takes up the arduous task of treating the contamination in our classrooms while encouraging us to advance the work of decontamination in our broader rhetorical ecosystems."Ryan Skinnell, Editor of Faking the News: What Rhetoric Can Teach Us About Donald J.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of the Bretton Woods conference, where the foundations of a new international economic and monetary order were laid down. After the end of the fixed exchange-rates regime between 1971 and 1973, the US dollar hegemony was strengthened while the international system was dominated by increasing global imbalances and greater vulnerability of the world economy.This was mainly due to the built-in destabilizer that characterizes each international monetary system relying on a national currency to provide global liquidity: the essence of the Triffin dilemma.Since the Great Financial Crisis an attempt was made towards a more equitable, multilateral economic governance system. But the last few years have also brought more fragmentation, shortening of global value chains and attempts to fence off negative transnational externalities deriving from various sources of interdependence (even with autarchic and neocolonial responses). Worse yet the pandemic and military conflicts reinforced the logic of blocks while the need for increased supranational public goods or reduced negative public bads is becoming pressing.This book suggests that a way to recover a path towards multilateralism is strengthened regional integration. This may help return on a path of trans-national confidence and cooperation and implement a new multilayered architecture of the international monetary system. "This book is an indispensable reading at a time when one of the essential tasks of the international community is to move towards a new monetary order and a reform of the International monetary fund (IMF) associating the new regional monetary unions to the management of a common currency: the Special Drawing Right (SDR)."Michel Camdessus, Former Managing Director, IMF; Honorary Governor, Bank of France This book tries to gather some research and policy questions regarding the future of the regional and international economic and monetary systems. It is a tentative research to sum up some questions and topics about cooperation between the European Union, Africa, Latin America and Asia in the fields of financial, monetary and economic development.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In education, as in other areas of human endeavour, we often strive for what is easiest, least troubling and most certain. We want clear, definitive answers to our questions. Ambiguity and complexity may be viewed as impediments to our progress as learners, and doubt will sometimes be portrayed as a sign of weakness. This book pushes back against these tendencies. Informed by the work of Giacomo Leopardi, Arthur Schopenhauer, Simone Weil, Maxine Greene, Miguel de Unamuno, and Simone de Beauvoir, it explores some of the uncomfortable, unsettling, less frequently visited edges of education. These conceptual and lived spaces often blur the boundaries between the possible and the impossible, setting limits while also opening up unexpected opportunities for teaching and learning. They are there for us all to experience, if only we can open our eyes to see them and muster the courage to investigate them. Extending upon the key ideas from Professor Robert's previous volume, Happiness, Hope and Despair (2016), this book introduces new literary figures and fresh approaches to exploring the inner territories at the Edges of Education.

Moreover, a third function of religious rhetoric synthesizes sacred succor and rancor to express the productive tension of righteous indignation employed by speakers to decry violence and demand social justice.This compendium of both historic and contemporary speeches on the intersecting themes of religion, rhetoric, and violence endeavors to complicate the rhetoric/violence binary by interpolating religion (another foundational and cultural belief inextricably entangled with both rhetoric and violence) into the dialectic. Rhetorical artifacts, including religious speeches by Sojourner Truth, Joseph Biden, Harvey Milk, Tony Kushner, Pope Francis, Barak Obama, Julius Streicher, Josef Schuster, and Jefferson Sessions are analyzed, from rhetorical approaches, as responses to policies, laws and historic events with their basis in sacred and rancorous religion rhetoric.
