British Origins and American Practice of Impeachment

British Origins and American Practice of Impeachment

This collection brings together historians political scientists and legal scholars to explore the Anglo-American origins of impeachment and its use in the USA. Impeachment originated in England during the Good Parliament of 1376. It was used subject to several periods of disuse until the beginning of the nineteenth century. The British form of impeachment in turn inspired the drafters of the US Constitution and the inclusion of a mechanism permitting the removal of members of the federal executive and federal judiciary. These Anglo-American origins of impeachment have inspired many constitutions around the globe to include impeachment mechanisms which permit in most cases the legislature to remove the President a Prime Minister ministers and judges. This volume explores the origins influence and practice of impeachment. Divided into three parts the history of impeachment and how it developed in British history is the focus of part one. The inclusion of Ireland reflects the constitutional status of impeachment the legacy of union with Great Britain and how impeachment can still serve as a deterrent. Part two examines the adoption of impeachment within the US Constitution and its use in practice. The third and final part discusses impeachment in the twenty-first century. The book will be an essential resource for students academics and researchers in law political science and history. | British Origins and American Practice of Impeachment

Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

This volume sheds new light on one of the most remarkable polymaths of the English Renaissance. It offers original perspectives not only on Harriot’s personal achievements in mathematics and natural philosophy but also on the wider realms of exploration colonial ambition and philosophical debate in which he earned the attention and respect of contemporaries in and far beyond the socially elevated circles of his two great patrons first Walter Ralegh and then Henry Percy the ninth Earl of Northumberland. Harriot’s sixteenth-century world was one of unprecedented expansion in both scientific understanding and the discovery of new lands and peoples. The essays gathered here bring out forcefully the effect of this expanding vision encapsulated in Harriot’s Briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia (1588) the first detailed description of America to be published in the English language. In addition to an essay by a recent biographer of Harriot the volume contains reworked versions of seven Thomas Harriot Lectures an annual lecture series inaugurated in 1990 in Oriel College Oxford. It follows two earlier volumes of Harriot Lectures also edited by Robert Fox that appeared in 2000 and 2012. | Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

Gender and Popular Visual Culture in India ‘Benevolent’ Sexism and Disguised Discrimination

Gender and Popular Visual Culture in India ‘Benevolent’ Sexism and Disguised Discrimination

Perhaps male-mindedness seems to have adapted to changing-contemporary circumstances to become more covert and conspiratorial. Sexist suggestions—through objectification and substantiated subordination—for instance may have been explicit in Indian media a decade earlier. But in the contemporary times of online social media and vociferous feminism such openness of unfairness against women in the media will more often than not be met with strife and unpalatable backlash - fearing which blatant prejudice is prudently steered clear of. It is hence understandable that patriarchy to sustain itself as a culture has adapted to become more benevolent in an increasingly hostile environment. To identify such sly and stealthy sexism embedded in media content one may need a reconfigured grasp of contemporary feminist issues and an altered nuance for isolation and identification of discriminatory depictions. This book exposes redefined and hidden sexism that predominates the popular visual culture of India - particularly investigating mass and new media representations that are a prime part of and have a domineering effect on the ensemble of popular visual culture - and characterises contemporary feminist movements. It binds a collection of contemporary Indian case studies of sexism and feminism encompassing communication media such as print cinema television Web series and social media. There is a lack of book titles that study media sexism in the present times and the proposed book aims to explore an unexplored area that is of social and scholarly importance. This book highlights the duality of media platforms: while media is a critical tool associated with fourth-wave feminism they still remain to be a deterrent to the development of women engendering inherent and age-old patriarchal notions. This book will be an eye-opener to the general readers about benevolent sexism and train them to identify sexism hidden in seemingly pro-women media representations. | Gender and Popular Visual Culture in India ‘Benevolent’ Sexism and Disguised Discrimination
