People, Place, and Attachment in Local Bars - John W. Mcewen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

People, Place, and Attachment in Local Bars - John W. Mcewen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In the United States, places of drink are historically linked to community and social interactions, and such establishments often possess loyal patrons for whom going to the local bar is a natural and routine part of their daily life. In People, Place, and Attachment in Local Bars, John McEwen places drinking establishments at the fore of American geography as containers of material culture and collective history. McEwen draws on ethnographic data collected in four local bars in West Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to present a new unified theory of people-place relationships. McEwen highlights sense of place, place attachment, and the concept of rootedness.

Silhouettes of Scripture - Drew S. Holland - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Silhouettes of Scripture - Drew S. Holland - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The contextual approach and form criticism are two well-established methodologies in Biblical Studies, but the natural affinities between the two have historically gone under-appreciated. Yet the substantial reconsideration of classic tenets of form-criticism that has transpired in recent memory has further separated these two like-minded methods. Through a series of case studies that carefully consider certain Old Testament texts contextually, Silhouettes of Scripture: Considering the Contextual Approach with Form-criticism considers important methodological critiques and fuse elements of both methods in order to not only re-focus natural affinities but also more precisely define how contextual studies could proceed. Initiated by a literary trigger, Schreiner and Holland’s method navigates between what has been called "parallel-o-mania" and "parallel-anonia" to consider a range of similarities and differences in terms of broad and narrow convergences. The result is a work that not only looks upon well-known parallels with fresh eyes but also seeks to establish new trajectories.

Asian American Women and Men - Yen Le Espiritu - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Asian American Women and Men - Yen Le Espiritu - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Labor, laws, and love. Yen Le Espiritu explores how racist and gendered labor conditions and immigration laws have affected relations between and among Asian American women and men. Asian American Men and Women documents how the historical and contemporary oppression of Asians in the United States has (re)structured the balance of power between Asian American women and men and shaped their struggles to create and maintain social institutions and systems of meaning. Espiritu emphasizes how race, gender, and class, as categories of difference, do not parallel but instead intersect and confirm one other.

(Un)civil Societies - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

(Un)civil Societies - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In this timely volume, Rachel A. May and Andrew K. Milton have assembled an array of scholars from different disciplines to examine transitional governments in Eastern Europe and Latin America. Although policy makers and scholars often conflate them, the processes of democratization and the institutionalization of human rights are interactive, and the successful completion of each requires the parallel development of both. Drawing on specific political conditions and organized around topics such as the media, political parties, and political violence, (Un)Civil Societies broadens the discussion about democratization both thematically and geographically. This book is a valuable resource for students of comparative politics and anyone interested in the ongoing dialogue about human rights and democracy.

Terrorist Recruitment of U.S. Gangs - D. Darell Dones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Terrorist Recruitment of U.S. Gangs - D. Darell Dones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Since the September 11, 2001 US-Terrorist Attacks there has been an overwhelming increase in documented cases of violent acts of extremism made possible by radical terrorist recruitment of domestic gangs. These new, global criminal alliances combine tech-savvy radical extremists and the local knowledge and manpower of U.S.-based gangs creating a greater potential for biological attacks. As a result, both law enforcement and intelligence agencies have been forced to align their coordination efforts to a greater extent with colleges, universities, private infrastructures, and the military to shift national security efforts from reactive to proactive. D. Darell Dones examines the parallel terrorist-gang activities and prevailing psychosocial factors that explain the varying radical beliefs, causations, and behavioral mindset of these criminal partnerships.

Expansion of Publicly Funded Health Insurance in the United States - Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Expansion of Publicly Funded Health Insurance in the United States introduces the issues, policies, and future concerns of health care within the United States to scholars of social sciences.

By looking at the precision in which the Child Health Insurance Program performed and examining case studies, Kronenfield is able to parallel government polices with regard to health insurance to the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. This engaging volume is well suited to courses involving the study of social issues and the American government.

The Lived International - Obe Chan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Lived International - Obe Chan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Lived International is a poetic account of Stephen Chan’s personal engagement in International Relations. It speaks to the inadequacy of an abstract voyeurism while the problems of the world are death, devastation and underdevelopment. Drawn from a lifetime of travel and engagement, and from both published and hitherto unpublished poetry, forming a parallel list to the author’s academic works, the book seeks to inject into debate the sense that language, spoken and written discourse alone, are not a sufficient claim to ‘bearing witness’, and that even activism from afar can often fail to understand a human condition that afflicts the majority of the world’s population. Chan demonstrates that a life of praxis, living international relations, yields more insights than a life of theory alone.

Searching for God in the Sixties - David R. Williams - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Searching for God in the Sixties - David R. Williams - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This paradigm-breaking book dares to rethink the whole of the ''60s experience, not from a political or sociological viewpoint but from an historical/theological perspective. Camille Paglia wrote that ''the spiritual history of the sixties has yet to be written.'' This is that book. The book''s chapters each correspond to a line in Emily Dickinson''s poem ''Finding is the first act.'' The parallel to Dickinson''s experience in the psychic wilderness demonstrates just how much the experience of the ''60s was part of an ongoing American story not an aberration. Though it seems contradictory, this book argues for an appreciation of the three ''60s: 1960s, 1860s, 1660s, each a chapter of the religious core of the American story.

Creating a Black Vernacular Philosophy - Devonya N. Havis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Creating a Black Vernacular Philosophy - Devonya N. Havis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Creating a Black Vernacular Philosophy explores how everyday Black vernacular practices, developed to negotiate survival and joy, can be understood as philosophy in their own right. Devonya N. Havis argues that many unique cultural and intellectual practices of African diasporic communities have done the work of traditional philosophies. Focusing on creative practices that take place within Black American diasporic cultures via narratives, the blues, jazz, work songs, and other expressive forms, this book articulates a form of Black vernacular Philosophy that is centered within and emerges from meaning structures cultivated by Black communities. These distinct philosophical practices, running parallel with and often improvising on European philosophy, should be acknowledged for their rigorous theoretical formation and for their disruption of traditional Western philosophical ontologies.

Private History in Public - Tammy S. Gordon - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Private History in Public - Tammy S. Gordon - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In small community museums, truck stops, restaurants, bars, barbershops, schools, and churches, people create displays to tell the histories that matter to them. Much of this history is personal: family history, community history, history of a trade, or the history of something considered less than genteel. It is often history based on the historical record, but also based on feelings, beliefs, and memory. It is neglected history. Private History in Public is about those history exhibits that complicate the public/private dichotomy, exhibits that serve to explain communities, families, and individuals to outsiders and tie insiders together through a shared narrative of historical experience. Tammy S. Gordon looks beyond the large professionalized museum exhibits that have dominated scholarship in museum studies and public history and offers a new way of understanding the broad spectrum of exhibition types in the United States.

Conjugal Love and Procreation - Kevin Schemenauer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Conjugal Love and Procreation - Kevin Schemenauer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Dietrich von Hildebrand contributed to the Catholic tradition''s increased recognition of conjugal love in marriage in the early twentieth century, and, as Kevin Schemenauer argues in Conjugal Love and Procreation, von Hildebrand''s work remains relevant to contemporary Catholic thought as well. While some argue that this German Catholic philosopher and theologian neglected the role of procreation in marriage, this book shows that von Hildebrand''s writings on reverence and superabundant finality contribute to a contemporary understanding of the significance of procreation within marriage. Schemenauer analyzes von Hildebrand''s integration of conjugal love and procreation, showing him to be an insightful and parallel voice to the that of John Paul II. His thorough exploration of von Hildebrand''s writings reveals not only how conjugal love and openness to new life are essential to marriage, but also how essential the role of procreation is to the conception of conjugal love.

Women Leaving Prison - Jill L. Snodgrass - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Women Leaving Prison - Jill L. Snodgrass - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Women Leaving Prison examines the oft-ignored experiences of female returning citizens, our returning sisters, who face numerous individual and systemic barriers as they return to life beyond bars. In the age of mass incarceration, with 700,000 inmates leaving prison each year, spiritual and religious support during reentry is a crucial component of prison ministry. Women Leaving Prison describes women’s pathways to prison, their spiritual and religious experiences inside, and then utilizes interpretative phenomenological analysis, a qualitative research method, to uncover the spiritual and religious beliefs and practices of returning sisters. The findings from the qualitative study then ground the book’s call for a revised prison ministry praxis, entitled Project Sister Connect, that details how churches, as well as concerned citizens and people of faith, can welcome and care for returning sisters. Project Sister Connect offers a model for facilitating female returning citizens’ successful reentry via communal and individual spiritual care and support and by working toward the eradication of structural injustices.

Educational Theory and Jewish Studies in Conversation - Harvey Shapiro - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Educational Theory and Jewish Studies in Conversation - Harvey Shapiro - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Educational Theory and Jewish Studies in Conversation: From Volozhin to Buczacz, by Harvey Shapiro, PhD, brings together two different fields of study—modern Jewish studies and contemporary educational theory—to provide new theoretical frameworks for their interaction. Although Jewish studies and education programs at secular universities have joined denominational and transdenominational institutions of higher learning in adopting a dual or parallel course structure, there has been little scholarly attention given to the basis for doing so. Shapiro provides alternative theoretical frameworks for the relationship between Jewish studies and educational theory and discusses different ways of developing and articulating these relationships between disciplines. Shapiro shows what is at stake when students and faculty think and communicate together across discourses—in particular, between the fields of education and Jewish studies. Presenting an alternative to conventional notions of interdisciplinarity, this book’s import extends to virtually all relationships between the humanities and professional education when these different discourses illuminate and challenge one another.

From Huhugam to Hohokam - J. Brett Hill - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

From Huhugam to Hohokam - J. Brett Hill - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In From Huhugam to Hohokam: Heritage and Archaeology in the American Southwest, J. Brett Hill examines the history of O’odham heritage as it was recorded at the beginning of European conquest. A parallel history of scientific exploration is then traced forward to produce intricate models of the coming and going of ancient peoples. Throughout this history, Native accounts were routinely dismissed as an inferior kind of knowledge. More recently, though, a revolutionary change has taken hold in archaeology as Native insights and premises are integrated into scientific thought. Integration was once suspected of undermining basic principles of knowledge, but J. Brett Hill contends that it provides a deeper and more accurate sense of the connection between living and ancient people. Hill combines three decades of experience in archaeology with a liberal arts perspective to produce something for readers at all levels in the fields of anthropology, Native American studies, history, museum studies, and other heritage disciplines

Jewish Studies and Israel Studies in the Twenty-First Century - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Jewish Studies and Israel Studies in the Twenty-First Century - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Jewish studies has been a vibrant academic discipline for many decades, and since the establishment of the Association for Israel Studies in 1985 to engage in research on the history, politics, society, and culture of the modern state of Israel, the two disciplines have worked along parallel tracks in universities. This book focuses on the vibrant academic field of Israel studies and its complex and dynamic relations and intersections with its “older sibling” Jewish studies. Scholarly contributions from around the globe illustrate that the ongoing and growing interest in Israel studies, in particular since the early 2000s, must be analyzed and understood in its relationship to Jewish studies. Only this will allow scholarship to reflect on not only the intersections between the two fields but also on the prospects of cross-pollination between the disciplines for research and teaching. This will become ever more vital in an increasingly globalized world with shifting concepts, borders, and identity concepts.

Hierarchy and Mutuality in Paradise Lost, Moby-Dick and The Brothers Karamazov - Lawrence L. Langer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Hierarchy and Mutuality in Paradise Lost, Moby-Dick and The Brothers Karamazov - Lawrence L. Langer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The three works considered in Hierarchy and Mutuality in Paradise Lost, Moby-Dick and The Brothers Karamazov display a striking overlap in their concern with hierarchy and mutuality as parallel and often intersecting way of how human beings relate to each other and to divine forces in the universe. All three contain adversarial protagonists whose stature often commands admiration from audiences less ready to confront their motives and deeds than to be swayed by their verbal harangues. Why the quest for personal power should disturb the serenity of mutual love with such compelling force is an issue that Milton, Melville and Dostoevsky address with varying degrees of self-consciousness. In their texts the seeds of disaster seem to sprout in both spiritual and barren soil, sometimes nurtured by a hierarchy that gave them birth, at others in reaction against a hierarchy that would stifle their energy. The purpose of this study is to analyze the origins and the consequences of such tensions.

Ashe-Caribbean Literary Aesthetic in the Cuban, Colombian, Costa Rican, and Panamanian Novel of Resistance - Thomas Wayne Edison - Bog - Bloomsbury

Ashe-Caribbean Literary Aesthetic in the Cuban, Colombian, Costa Rican, and Panamanian Novel of Resistance - Thomas Wayne Edison - Bog - Bloomsbury

Ashé-Caribbean Literary Aesthetics in the Cuban, Colombian, Costa Rican, and Panamanian Novel of Resistance contributes to understanding the important role that African-influenced spiritual cultures play in literature that challenges the concept that European aesthetics are superior to African-inspired cultures. Thomas W. Edison highlights the novels of four courageous Caribbean writers who have used their novels to integrate aspects of African ontology with literary techniques, themes, and history. The common element in these works is the inclusion of African-inspired faith traditions and culture. As a result of this perspective, their literature stands out as keen examples of Ashé-Caribbean resistance literature. While each writer presents their unique literary style in the works, collectively they draw on a foundation of the Afro-Caribbean. The Circum-Caribbean region will be the geographical unit because of its collective history of slavery, colonial rule, and parallel patterns of religious syncretism. This book makes an important literary connection among Caribbean Hispanophone nations.

Kant's Theory of Evil - Pablo Muchnik - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Kant's Theory of Evil - Pablo Muchnik - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Kant''s Theory of Evil: An Essay on The Dangers of Self-Love and the Aprioricity of History presents a novel interpretation and defense of Kant''s theory of evil. Pablo Muchnik argues that this theory stems from Kant''s attempt to reconcile two parallel lines of thought in his own writings: on the one hand, a philosophy of history of Rousseauian inspiration and naturalistic tendencies; on the other, the metaphysical project of founding morality exclusively on a priori grounds. The syncretism of Kant''s view, as exemplified by the resulting moral anthropology in Religion within the Limits of Mere Reason, explains its persistent allure and elusiveness among Kantian readers. Muchnik''s reconstruction solves some of the most intractable problems surrounding Kant''s position, and is designed to break the deadlock existing between contemporary rival schools of interpretation, torn between Kant''s naturalistic tendencies and his moral individualism. The "quasi-transcendental" conceptual apparatus presented in these pages will open up new paths of investigation in Kant, and influence the way we approach the problem of evil in general.

Agency Change - John Robert Kelley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

John Robert Kelley puts forth that modern diplomatic efforts derive not from states whose centuries-long power is loosening, but rather from a new breed of diplomats—exit the diplomacy of institutions; enter the diplomacy of individuals competing for power.Moving beyond standard concepts of “traditional” and “new” diplomacy, Agency Change illustrates how parallel, yet disparate diplomatic systems emerge—statesmen seeing power vis-à-vis non-state actors seeking solutions to problems—and examines different mutually beneficial solutions to this phenomenon.Kelley examines how different factor impact diplomatic action:·Idea entrepreneurship·Agenda-setting·Mobilization·Gate-keepingHe concludes that the time has come for governments to innovate their diplomatic efforts in order to find a way to coexist with non-state actors while maintaining accountability, legitimizing the use of state strength, and leveraging permanent presence in diplomatic relationships. This thorough survey shows how states can embrace change by first recognizing sources of power in today’s diplomatic affairs, and presents a case for what states can do now to respond to a world in which diplomacy has gone public.

Virtues of the Indian/Virtudes del indio - Bishop Juan De Palafox Y Mendoza - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Virtues of the Indian/Virtudes del indio - Bishop Juan De Palafox Y Mendoza - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This important book is the first complete seventeenth-century treatise on Native Americans to be introduced, annotated, and translated into English. Presented in a parallel text translation, it brings the work of the controversial and powerful Bishop Juan de Palafox to non-Spanish speakers for the first time. A seminal document in the history of colonial Mexico and imperial Spain, Virtues of the Indian tells us as much about the Mexican natives as about the ideas, images, and representations upon which the Spanish Empire in America was built. Taken as a whole, this book will raise questions about the Spanish empire and the governance of New Spain''s Indians. Even more significantly, it will complicate the prevailing view of Spanish imperialism and colonial society as one dominated by a unified and coherent ruling elite with common goals. The deeply-informed introduction, biographical essay, and annotations that accompany this vivid translation further explore the thoughts and actions of the dynamic and complex Palafox, contributing to a better knowledge of a key figure in the history of Spanish colonialism in the New World.

Constructing Community - Brian Elliott - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Constructing Community - Brian Elliott - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Constructing Community examines community from the particular perspective of the shaping and control of urban space in contemporary liberal democracies. Following a consideration and critique of influential theories of community that have arisen within European philosophy over the last three decades, Brian Elliott investigates parallel approaches to community within urban theory and practice over the same period. Underlying the comparison of political theory and urban practice is a basic assumption that community and place are intimately connected such that the one cannot be adequately understood without the other. The underlying intention of this book is to advocate a particular understanding of community, one that centers on collective, grassroots oppositional action. While it draws on certain current theories and practices, the model of community put forward is far from the orthodox position. This study is a provocative and original analysis of the question of urban politics in contemporary liberal democracies. It offers a strong case for reconsidering current debates on democratic politics in light of the connection between political power and the control of public space and the built environment.
