The Routledge Handbook of East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages 500-1300

The Routledge Handbook of East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages 500–1300 is the first of its kind to provide a point of reference for the history of the whole of Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages.

Casting a Minimalist Eye on Adjuncts

Casting a Minimalist Eye on Adjuncts

This book offers a comprehensive account of adjuncts in generative grammar seeking to reconcile the differing ways in which they have been treated in the past by proposing a method of analysis grounded in simplification based on Simplest Merge. The volume provides an up-to-date review of the existing literature on adjuncts and outlines their characteristic properties and the subsequent difficulties in adequately defining and treating them. The book compares previous attempts to account for adjuncts which have tended to use additional mechanisms or syntactic operations as a jumping-off point from which to propose a new way forward for analyzing them grounded in minimalist theory. Adopting an approach in the spirit of the strong minimalist thesis (SMT) Bode suggests an analysis of adjuncts which applies a minimalist approach based on theoretical simplicity one which does not resort to extra mechanisms in capturing the empirical properties of adjuncts. Offering a comprehensive overview of research on adjuncts and foundational minimalist principles this book will be of particular interest to graduate students and practicing researchers interested in syntax. | Casting a Minimalist Eye on Adjuncts

Sex Feminism and Lesbian Desire in Women’s Magazines

Sex Feminism and Lesbian Desire in Women’s Magazines

This book examines evolving pop culture representations of sex and relationships from the 1970s onwards to demonstrate parallels between the strength of the feminist movement and positive portrayals of women’s sexuality. In charting changes in the sex and relationship content of women’s magazines over time this analysis reveals that despite surface-level changes in sexual and relationship content the underlying paradigm of hetero-monogamy remains unchanged. Despite a seemingly more diverse empowered and liberated sexuality for women in contemporary magazines in reality such feminist rhetoric masks an enduring model of sexuality which rests on women’s sexual and emotional maintenance of male partners and their own self-objectification and self-surveillance. Where substantive changes can be identified they rise and fall in tandem with feminism. By demonstrating this empirical relationship between cultural products and feminist organising the book validates an assumption that has rarely been tested: that a feminist social milieu improves cultural narratives about sexuality for women. Sex Feminism and Lesbian Desire builds on ground-breaking feminist texts such as Susan Faludi’s Backlash to present an empirically focused comprehensive study interrogating changes in content over the lifetime of women’s magazines. By charting the representation of sex and relationships in two women’s magazines—Cosmopolitan and Cleo—since the 1970s through an analysis of over 6 500 magazine pages and 1 500 articles this timely work interrogates—and ultimately complicates—the apparent linear progression of feminism. This book is suitable for researchers and students in women’s and gender studies queer studies LGBT studies media studies cultural studies and sociology. | Sex Feminism and Lesbian Desire in Women’s Magazines

Medieval English Benedictine Liturgy Studies in the Formation Structure and Content of the Monastic Votive Office c. 950-1540

Originally published in 1993 Medieval English Benedictine Liturgy is a detailed study of the liturgical use of medieval monasteries in England spanning 500 years.

The book’s emphasis on Anglo-Saxon liturgy provides a bridge between the practices of the English Benedictines before and after the Conquest. The book also traces the chronological progress of three individual observances and extends where possible into the sixteenth century. The book argues that at a broader level while liturgy has been recognized as an indispensable part of the study of the context and use of medieval chant and polyphony. | Medieval English Benedictine Liturgy Studies in the Formation Structure and Content of the Monastic Votive Office c. 950-1540

Understanding and Reducing Prison Violence An Integrated Social Control-Opportunity Perspective

Understanding and Reducing Prison Violence An Integrated Social Control-Opportunity Perspective

Understanding and Reducing Prison Violence considers both the individual and prison characteristics associated with violence perpetration and violent victimization among both prison inmates and staff. Prison violence is not a random process; rates of violence vary across prisons and the odds of perpetrating violence or experiencing violent victimization vary across inmates and staff. A comprehensive understanding of the causes of prison violence therefore requires consideration of both individual and prison characteristics. Building on large dataset comprising 5 500 inmates and 1 800 officers across 45 prisons located across two of the United States (Ohio and Kentucky) this book showcases one of the largest and most comprehensive studies of prisons carried out to date. It considers both the implications of the study for theories of prison violence and the implications of the study for preventing violence in prisons. It will be of interest to academics practitioners and policy makers alike. | Understanding and Reducing Prison Violence An Integrated Social Control-Opportunity Perspective
