Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Rockwell Kent (1882-1971), artist, writer and adventurer, is one of the most celebrated American modernists, but he remains a controversial figure because of his political activism and personal life.This book emphasizes the interplay between Kents public persona and his private self. A man of considerable charm and vitality, he led an outwardly tempestuous existence especially in affairs of the heart but, at the same time, he created much of his best art in solitude. He was a romantic who fell violently in love and then decisively out of it. He loved many women, but he thought only of his own needs in his relationships with them; he thought the profession of artist gave him leeway to think only of his own needs. He strove, sometimes with great difficulty, to achieve material needs, but his art is replete with transcendental yearnings. By confronting the contradictions between the artist and the man, this book offers the first sustained study to connect those opposing sides of Kents character. In doing so, it breaks new ground: rather than treating his work and his private life in isolation, it reveals how the tensions between the two shaped bothand in the process uncovers, with unprecedented clarity, the tortured soul of one of Americas most important modernist artists.This is the first volume in Dissident Biographies, a new series.

Since the end of the Second World War, the role of the United States in the international arena has been closely linked to the stability of its security alliance system. For strategic reasons, one of the major goals for the U.S. foreign policy has always been preventing the rise of a hegemonic power in Eurasia. Actually, history and geopolitics tend to show that the global balance of power strictly depends on dynamics, threats and acting players in Eurasia. Despite Chinas growing global influence, it is in Asia-Pacific that the Chinese quest for power has played out more vividly. In this framework, the partnership between Russia and China represents a source of worries for the West as a whole and, more specifically, the gravest strategic threat to U.S. overseas interests. The book analyze the current U.S. alliance system across Eurasia through a multidisciplinary approach, combining history and political science, past and current affairs, and outlining possible future scenarios. They will focus on the Western allies and partners and the Chinese perceptions of the U.S.-led security system seen as a direct threat.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Throughout the history of human civilization, the definition of the animal and its relationship to humans have been contentious issues. This book investigates the notion of what constituted an animal in Early Medieval English culture as well as how the animal-human interaction is portrayed in the Anglo-Saxon literary corpus. In this regard, the animals portrayals in the Exeter Book Riddles and of monstrous creatures in the Wonders of the East provided a fertile field for research because these texts, rarely connected to allegorical readings and offering viewpoints that might be seen as complementary, deal with fundamental issues regarding what it meant to be human for Early Medieval English society.This study offers fresh insights into the characters and themes explored in the Exeter Book collection and in the Wonders of the East, looking for the spaces of Anglo-Saxon thought in which animality and humanity appear to meet. The author not only discovers the peculiar features in the definition of humanity with regard to animal and non-human figures, but is able to demonstrate that a strong anthropocentric vocation can coexist with an outlook that recognizes a close affinity among different species. This book provides a parallel reading of the ExeterBook riddles and theWondersof the East in order to identify the loci in the Early Medieval English literary tradition where animality and humanitymay have overlapped & explores how both collections expose the means by which human, animals and other creatures resist a fixed categorization.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Sigmund Freuds theories and clinical practices focused primarily on individuals. As such, they are rarely considered when critiquing collective behavior or symbolic re-presentations. However, as the founder of depth psychology a field of study that considers how unconscious components of the human experience influence psychological conditions Freud understood the collective nature of thought and behavior. While his ideas are not typically a perspective applied to the study of media and popular culture, of audiences, or of content creation, once unpacked through a psychoanalytic lens, Freuds theories shine a bright light on human motivation and expression.This book is the first presentation of his ideas within this context. It is primarily an introduction to Freud and his theories intended for a communication studies audience. In addition to summarizing Freuds major concepts, how/when/if they are taught in psychology programs, and the resultant "Freud Wars," this book offers examples of application of his ideas to cinema, advertising, public relations, and other forms of expression and recommendations for future research.There are implications and applications to the everyday world as well for anyone interested in how theories of human development, beginning with childhood personality construction through adult sexuality, repression, and expression, can be understood through a contemporary lens."Of all of the contentious and oft-misconstrued figures in the history of ideas, few provide such a thorny and frustrating subject as Sigmund Freud. In this short-butsubstantial book, Deb Merskin gives us a considerate and approachable understanding of Freuds work. She begins with a biographical sketch of Freud, builds on this foundation to outline the full spectrum of Freuds theoretical interventions. With the basic rhythms and motifs established, Merskin then combines all of these elements to develop a symphonic sense of what Freuds ideas can contribute to communication and media studies, with emphases on social theory, film theory, advertising, political communication, media psychology, and cultural studies. Here is a true introduction to Freuds ideas as they relate to communication and media studies."David W. Park, Lake Forest College Provides an overview of Freuds psychoanalytic theories and uses them as a lens through which to view media and popular culture. The book reviews how Freuds theories have been applied to the study of film, advertising, news, and public relations, and discusses how scholars can use Freuds ideas as tools to understand contemporary experiences.

In this groundbreaking study, Misinformation Finds Them unearths how the perceived threat of misinformation effects on other people is just as potent if not more so than the actual impact that hybrid media systems have on democracy and community in the heartland. Here, it is not that rural Americans are particularly vulnerable to misinformation; they are highly active media consumers, but they generally rely on news to "find me" rather than actively critically engaging with a diverse set of sources. This passive News Finds Me approach to media engagement, coupled with their belief that others are more susceptible to receiving and spreading misleading or false narratives, gives rise to distrust and polarization.The Misinformation Finds Them (MFT) perception is particularly potent as algorithms and AI are increasingly embedded in news distribution systems that seek to maximize user engagement with personalized content. The perceived threat of misinformation can exacerbate polarization, but the notion that misinformation radicalizes rural populations simply is not accurate, and rural Americans show no meaningful differences to their more urban counterparts in terms of knowledge and media use. "Vogts and Groshek offer fascinating insights into the polarized media ecosystem of rural America, an under-researched area that is meticulously addressed in this innovative book. It empirically provides an understanding of the way many rural Americans in Kansas distrustfully view media, and the impact of social networks on them, especially their beliefs in misinformation itself. The authors cleverly attempt to go beyond the standard discussion of misinformation, offering a more nuanced view with their origination of the "Misinformation Finds Them" concept. It is a must read for any citizen or scholar interested in better understanding the contemporary media environment of rural America." Ahmed al-Rawi, Associate Professor Simon Fraser University "A timely, unflinching investigation into how misinformation quietly radicalizes rural America. Misinformation Finds Them doesnt just expose echo chambers. It humanizes them. Vogts and Grosheks essential read challenges stereotypes, connects hybrid media, bonding social capital, news finds me perception, and other media theories to real lives, and urges us to rethink how truth, identity, and democracy intersect in USAs heartland." Homero Gil de Zuniga, Distinguished Professor University of Salamanca and Pennsylvania State University This study suggests a new phenomenon; the Misinformation Finds Them (MFT) perception. This suggests that people are not only exposed to misinformation by participating in their usual media and social ecosystems, but that they consider the threat of misinformation real and more impactful on others. This distortion results in greater polarization. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: 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.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In this timely book, the author explores new ways of reading Hemingways work, considering nature, gender and American identity. Through forensic analysis of Hemingways fiction, the author traces his early experiences of post-frontier America and the decline of the American primitive. He shows how, based on actual experience, Hemingways unique brand of primitivism later influences his travels in both Spain and Africa. Each source of primal inspiration: the American Indian, the Spanish corrida and the African safari influences the other in a tripartite primitivism. By illuminating Hemingways quest for primal authenticity, whereby the Other as savage is negated by his nuanced understanding of traditions, the author shows how Hemingways depictions empower women, challenge white male superiority, and privilege nature. Hemingways transatlantic and transcontinental quest for authentic primitivism is also a transnational and transcultural quest, an attempt to understand a more complex version of history. This book is a compelling exploration of Ernest Hemingway's unique brand of primitivism, which was rooted in realism rather than abstraction.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries saw a significant rhetorical shift that has long influenced French literature. In this period, poets began to describe themselves as orators. Their verse was addressed to various audiences, both real or fictional. It was judged on its eloquence, public utility, and ability to engage with contemporary concerns and events. This book endeavours to shed light on this unique moment of interplay between poetry and communication, through an interdisciplinary framework that draws on approaches from rhetoric, philology, and communication studies. Through eight case studies, this book explores a little-known history of French literature, from George Chastelain to Ronsard, including poets such as Guillaume Cretin, Jean Lemaire de Belges, Octovien de Saint-Gelais, Jean Molinet, Jean Bouchet, Nicaise Ladam and Francois Habert. Between the 15th and 16th centuries, French poets redefined themselves as orators, valuing eloquence, utility, and contemporary engagement. This book examines this interplay between poetry and communication through eight case studies, from Chastelain to Ronsard, integrating rhetoric, philology, and communication studies.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. White supremacy and American-style individual autonomy are mutually supportive and co-dependent. Attacking white racism will not dislodge white supremacy, which the author contends is the greatest danger facing America. That can only be accomplished by making concurrent and significant modifications in American individualism. Yet, white supremacist thinking, feeling, and acting and American individualism are protected by what the author describes as The White Supremacist Collective Unconscious, a culturally determined mental construct that Americans assimilate as they grow into adulthood, which endows all Americans, regardless of race, with a white supremacist mental orientation to one degree or another. Drawing on his personal experiences as an African American growing up in the United States, and on his research, the author details the development and workings of that unconscious, and the impact of white supremacy on the national character.In this provocative, personal, and engaging volume, so timely in its intervention, Ronald Richardson gives us a new way of looking at ourselves, how we came to be, and the inescapable role white supremacy has played in the unfolding.Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard UniversityThis is a brave and candid book centered on the psychology and vexed history of race and the white ascendency in the United States.

Drawing on my lived experience and scholarly journeyfrom the streets of Richmond to the halls of UC BerkeleyI offer a deeply personal meditation on what it means to be Black, whole, and free in a world hellbent on your erasure. This is not just theory; its testimony. Its not just critique; its love. Through the lenses of Critical Race Theory, trauma studies, and radical love, I trace the ways Blackness has been flattened, feared, and criminalizedwhile affirming Black life in its full, multidimensional radiance. This book is an offeringa radical invitation to re-member us and imagine otherwise. Because we are not nouns to be defined by trauma; we are verbs. We are movement. We are always becoming. This is the realest work Ive ever written. Not because I had tobut because I needed to. Because finding the beautiful path is not just possibleits urgent. And it begins with telling the truth. Jeremiah Sims Beautiful Path begins at the intersection of autoethnography and critical race theory where Blackness, Multidimensionality, and Radical Becoming collide with racism and anti-blackness. But the wounds and scars of this collision, as Dr. Sims so eloquently reveals, can ultimately heal. Autoethnography uses self-reflection and analysis of personal experiences to explore and explain larger cultural, political, social, and historical issues. Jeremiahs cogent, compelling narratives of his experiences as a Black man, husband, father, friend, colleague, and Christian on the path to Radical Love and Becoming critically counters narratives and practices of white supremacy that only perpetuate hate and fear. Jabari Mahiri, Ph.D., Professor of Education, UC Berkeley and Faculty Director of the Leadership Programs A powerful blend of memoir and critical theory, Finding the Beautiful Path: On Blackness, Multidimensionality, and Radical Becoming is a meditation on Blackness, healing, and becoming. It confronts anti-Blackness and white supremacy while affirming Black life in its full, multidimensional brilliance. This is truth-telling as liberation.

As the different essays show, place branding is a fundamentally political practice, often driven by hidden agendas that marginalize certain groups within society. Contributors explore place branding from a wide variety of angles, including: the role played by the visual arts in city branding; the applied arts, and speci cally the fashion industrys potential for shaping perceptions of a particular place; the different ways in which sport has been exploited by the political elites; the role of design in place branding, including the architectural design of sports stadia; and the potentially insidious economic and societal consequences of excessive consumption of branded places. By exploring the often hidden ideological agenda(s) of place branding, and analyzing the ways in which practitioners often marginalize, or ignore, local stakeholders on the ground, this volume of essays offers a fresh and topical perspective on an extremely important subject.

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.

Its aim is to help re-engage learners of the Net generation meaningfully and with enjoyment in the learning process. The proliferation of new technologies in the classroom has generally not been accompanied by new pedagogical thinking and the discourse is still framed almost exclusively in terms of the utilitarian mindset of the Western world. Consequently, education is too often delivered within a context that is unfit for purpose. The author argues that we need to bring the wisdom of different cultural perspectives to bear on our understanding of the nature and purpose of learning, and on the role of technology in the learning process. She shares an energising vision of education based on the ancient Irish understanding of learning as nourishment for the human spirit, expressed as learning by wandering. Illustrating the universal and timeless relevance of this understanding, she demonstrates from personal experience how a synthesis of ancient wisdom and new technologies can transform the learning process. This book offers a new dimension to the ongoing debate on the future of education in the Western world.

The massive movement of illegal immigrants and refugees who have arrived in Europe over the last few months has led political leaders, activists' movements and anonymous citizens to rethink practices and discourses. The media have multiplied news stories about mobilization initiatives that go well beyond the sphere of the state and even operate on the fringes of the law. Nationalism and identity issues have found their way onto the EU and its member-states' agenda while the international community argues about the urgency to collaborate to address one of the greatest problems seen in Europe since the Second World War.

The series of multidisciplinary texts collected in this book offer the reader a variety of perspectives on the understanding of the Schengen area.Broadly speaking, this volume includes reflections on subjects that embrace the debates on the concept and practices of the free movement of persons within Europe, the security dimension of the European Union, illegal immigration and migration management, human rights and the role of various players and interests.
