Without Locks and Bars - William L. Dubnov - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Without Locks and Bars - William L. Dubnov - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

A pioneering contribution to the field of juvenile corrections and organizational development, this volume documents the organizational change process which transformed Glen Mills Schools, America's oldest juvenile correctional institution, from a physically deteriorating, ineffective institution into one of the most successful residential programs for delinquents in the nation. Of particular interest to practitioners, policymakers, researchers and students of juvenile justice, the volume provides both a theoretical model and practical guidelines for the effective reform of juvenile facilities. Documentation of Glen Mills' success includes the most extensive recidivism study ever conducted on an American correctional institution. Without Locks and Bars demonstrates that the normative culture residential treatment approach for juvenile offenders can and does work at costs below most traditional programs. The authors describe the theory, beliefs, and values which underlie the formal treatment system at the Glen Mills Schools and the process through which the psychosocial environment (normative culture) is shaped into a potent treatment tool. Especially helpful for practitioners at similar facilities is a detailed discussion of the major steps that must be taken to replicate the Glen Mills model. Based upon the observed effects of the Glen Mills experience, the authors challenge some widely held assumptions in the field. They conclude that most delinquents have far greater potential for positive behavioral change and educational achievement than is generally believed; that most, including serious and repeat offenders, can be treated in an institution where physical security is not necessary and that, if properly managed, large residential facilities may be the placement of choice for most institutionalized delinquent offenders.

Intellectual Trespassing as a Way of Life - David P. Ellerman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Intellectual Trespassing as a Way of Life - David P. Ellerman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Dramatic changes or revolutions in a field of science are often made by outsiders or ''trespassers,'' who are not limited by the established, ''expert'' approaches. Each essay in this diverse collection shows the fruits of intellectual trespassing and poaching among fields such as economics, Kantian ethics, Platonic philosophy, category theory, double-entry accounting, arbitrage, algebraic logic, series-parallel duality, and financial arithmetic.

Inhuman Thoughts - Asher Seidel - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Inhuman Thoughts - Asher Seidel - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Inhuman Thoughts is a philosophical exploration of the possibility of increasing the physiological and psychological capacities of humans to the point that they are no longer biologically, psychologically, or socially human. The movement is from the human through the trans-human, to the post-human. The tone is optimistic; Seidel argues that such an evolution would be of positive value on the whole. Seidel''s initial argument supports the need for a comprehensive ethical theory, the success of which would parallel that of a large-scale scientific revolution, such as Newtonian mechanics. He elaborates the movement from the improved-but-still-human to the post-human, and philosophically examines speculated examples of post-human forms of life, including indefinitely extended life-span, parallel consciousness, altered perception, a-sociality, and a-sexuality. Inhuman Thoughts is directed at those interested in philosophical questions on human nature and the best life given the possibilities of that nature. Seidel''s overall argument is that the most satisfactory answer to the latter question involves a transcendence of the present confines of human nature.

The Politics of Philosophy - Michael Davis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Philosophy - Michael Davis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In the most original interpretation of Aristotle''s Politics in years, Michael Davis delivers many memorable and provocative formulations of Aristotle''s messages concerning the constitutive tensions of political life. He traces the uncanny parallel between politics and philosophy in Aristotle, arguing that their connection is much deeper than it is ordinarily understood to be and that, for Aristotle, understanding either requires understanding the other. Davis presents his interpretation with a striking clarity and accessibility that makes the book a pleasure to read.

Espiritu emphasizes how race, gender, and class, as categories of difference, do not parallel but instead intersect and confirm one other.

Rethinking Social Movements - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Rethinking Social Movements - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This landmark volume brings together some of the titans of social movement theory in a grand reassessment of its status. For some time, the field has been divided between a dominant structural approach and a cultural or constructivist tradition. The gaps and misunderstandings between the two sides—as well as the efforts to bridge them—closely parallel those in the discipline of sociology at large. This book aims to further the dialogue between these two distinct approaches to social movements and to show the broader implications for sociology as a whole as it struggles with issues including culture, emotion, and agency.

(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.

Futures of Critical Theory - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Futures of Critical Theory - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Written by internationally acclaimed scholars on futures of critical theory, this book attempts to renew and reinvigorate critical theory by extending its range and its intellectual trajectories through strategies of inclusiveness that respect and build on parallel traditions. The authors reinterpret the work of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger in relation to central figures (Kant, Marcuse, Foucault) and themes of critical theory—the critique of modernity, theory of the self, and the question concerning technology. Key chapters address the critical significance of the work of the French theorists Levinas, Deleuze, Derrida, Lyotard, Irigaray, and Bourdieu and while other chapters focus on thinkers as diverse as Zizek, Giddens, Said, and Guattari, and deal with contemporary topics such as cyberfeminism and antiglobalization.

Prison Food in America - Erika Camplin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Prison Food in America - Erika Camplin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

America seems presently fascinated by prison culture and the inner workings of what happens behind clinked doors. With TV shows creating binge-watchers of us all, and celebrities piquing public interest as they end up behind bars, Americans seem to enjoy a good gawk at prison life. Each year, more than 1.3 million visitors still trek out to Alcatraz Island, one of the most famous prisons in the world. And why shouldn’t they be curious about prison? We as a nation currently incarcerate more people per capita than any other country, and our prisons are notoriously rough, violent, and overcrowded. At the same time, we love our food, take pictures of it, post it socially, and discuss our foodie favorites. Rarely do we consider the food experiences of those for whom sustenance is more difficult to obtain, particularly those incarcerated, where choice and access is severely limited. Prison food is often everything to prisoners. It is the only marker of time throughout the day. Food becomes commerce in the microeconomies behind prison walls. It is often the only source of pleasure in a monotonous routine. It creates sites of community when prisoners ban together to create recipes, but also becomes a site of discord when issues surrounding fairness and equity arise in the chow hall. Prison Food in America offers a high-level snapshot of the fare offered behind bars, its general guidelines and regulations, fascinating stories about prisoners and food, and the remarkable and varied ways food plays a role in the fabric of prison culture.

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.

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.

Judicial Corporal Punishment as an Alternative to Incarceration in the United States - Sanaz Alasti - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Judicial Corporal Punishment as an Alternative to Incarceration in the United States - Sanaz Alasti - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Sanaz Alasti leaves the mainstream alternatives to incarceration to examine a different, seemingly archaic approach, physical (but non-carceral) punishment—corporal punishment. This book ignites debates about the history, persistence, and use of corporal punishment in criminal justice systems. Alasti compares penological practices in in Western societies, represented by the United States, and Islamic societies, represented by Iran, to analyze which practices are more deterrent, less costly, and most humane. While Alasti does not suggest this should be the norm, she does present intriguing questions. Which is more barbaric? Is judicial corporal punishment a more humane and effective form of punishment compared to incarceration? Is corporal punishment a less cruel alternative to spending years behind bars in primitive and punitive jails and prisons? This book would be of interest to those studying criminology, criminal justice, history, law, and sociology.

Decoding Disney’s Arab and Muslim Narratives - Ghanem Elhersh - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Decoding Disney’s Arab and Muslim Narratives - Ghanem Elhersh - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Ghanem Ayed Elhersh and Laeeq Khan critically examine the depiction of Arabs and Muslims in prominent Disney animated films through application of a rigorous, mixed-methods convergent parallel design. Blending framing analysis with quantitative textual analysis, Elhersh and Khan offer a comprehensive view of media portrayals and public perceptions and reveal how these films have frequently employed biased, negative, orientalist frames that associate Arabs and Muslims with violence, terrorism, and misogyny. Furthermore, they assess public reactions through advanced quantitative analysis of user reviews to uncover and analyze prevailing themes and sentiments in viewer feedback. By integrating interdisciplinary perspectives and meticulous methodology, this book provides an insightful exploration of the causative links between such portrayals and public attitudes, offering a vital resource for scholars, media professionals, and readers interested in the intersections of media, culture, and minority representation.

Language Choice and Identity Politics in Taiwan - Jennifer M. Wei - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Language Choice and Identity Politics in Taiwan - Jennifer M. Wei - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Jennifer M. Wei argues that construction and perceptions of language and identity parallel sociopolitical transformations, and language and identity crises arise during power transitions. Under these premises, language and identity are never well-defined or well-bounded. Instead, they are best viewed as political symbols subject to manipulation and exploitation during socio-historical upheavals. A choice of language—from phonological shibboleth, Mandarin, or Taiwanese, to choice of official language—cuts to the heart of contested cultural notions of self and other, with profound implications for nationalism, national unity and ethno-linguistic purism. Wei further argues that because of the Chinese Diaspora and Taiwan''s connections to China and the United States, arguments and sentiments over language choice and identity have consequences for Taiwan''s international and transnational status. They are symbolic acts of imagining Taiwan''s past as she looks forward to the future.

Conceived in Modernism - Dr. Aimee Armande Wilson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

Conceived in Modernism - Dr. Aimee Armande Wilson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

Current debates about birth control can be surprisingly volatile, especially given the near-universal use of contraception among American and British women. Conceived in Modernism: The Aesthetics and Politics of Birth Control offers a new perspective on these debates by demonstrating that the political positions surrounding birth control have roots in literary concerns, specifically those of modernist writers. Whereas most scholarship treats modernism and birth control activism as parallel, but ultimately separate, movements, Conceived in Modernism shows that they were deeply intertwined. This book argues not only that literary concerns exerted a lasting influence on the way activists framed the emerging politics of contraception, but that birth control activism helped shape some of modernism’s most innovative concepts. By revealing the presence of literary aesthetics in the discourse surrounding birth control, Conceived in Modernism helps us see this discourse as a variable facet rather than a permanent bulwark of reproductive rights debates.
