The Struggle for Democracy in Mainland China Taiwan and Hong Kong Sharp Power and its Discontents

The key question at the heart of this book is to what extent political activists in mainland China Taiwan and Hong Kong have made progress in their quest to liberalise and democratise their respective polities. Taking a long historical perspective the book compares and contrasts the political development trajectory in the three regions from the early 1970s—from the election-driven liberalisation in Taiwan from 1969 the Democracy Wall Movement in mainland China in 1978 and the top-down political reforms of Governor Patten in Hong Kong after 1992—until the present day. More specifically it sets out the different strategies and tactics political activists have taken assesses the lessons activists have learned from both successes and failures and considers how these experiences have informed their struggles for democracy. Importantly the book demonstrates that at the same time throughout the period and earlier the Chinese Communist Party has been making use of sharp power —penetrating the political and information environments in Western democracies to manipulate debate and suppress dissenters living both inside and outside China—in order to strengthen its domestic position. The book discusses the nature of this sharp power explores the rise of the security state within mainland China and examines the effectiveness of the approach arguing that in Taiwan and Hong Kong the approach has been counterproductive with civil society campaigns for greater democracy and the flourishing of religion in part stimulated by the Chinese Communist Party's sharp power practices. | The Struggle for Democracy in Mainland China Taiwan and Hong Kong Sharp Power and its Discontents

Ancient Cultures of Conceit British University Fiction in the Post-War Years

The campus novel is one of the best loved forms of fiction in the post-war period. But what are its characteristic themes? What are its prejudices? And what does it take for granted? Originally published in 1990 this is the first study to connect literary historical and sociological aspects of modern British universities. It shows that the culture celebrated in British university fiction represents a particular view of humane education which has its origins in the values of Oxbridge. Threats are seen to come from the ‘redbrick’ and ‘new’ universities from proletarians scientists (including sociologists) women and foreigners. This exhilarating book makes a nonsense of sociology’s reputation for turgid and plodding analysis. Sharp-witted shrewd and penetrating it will be of interest to students of sociology literature and for the same wide audience that appears to have an insatiable appetite for stories about university life. | Ancient Cultures of Conceit British University Fiction in the Post-War Years

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

In sharp contrast with the current top-down medicalized method to treating addiction this book presents the felt sense polyvagal model (FSPM) a paradigm-shifting bottom-up approach that considers addiction as an adaptive attempt to regulate emotional states and trauma. The felt sense polyvagal model draws from Porges' polyvagal theory Gendelin's felt sense and Lewis' learning model of addiction to offer a graphically illustrated and deeply embodied way of conceptualizing and treating addiction through supporting autonomic regulation. This model de-pathologizes addiction as it teaches embodied practices through tapping into the felt sense the body’s inner wisdom. Chapters first present a theoretical framework and demonstrate the graphic model in both clinician and client versions and then teach the clinician how to use the model in practice by providing detailed treatment strategies. This text’s informed compassionate approach to understanding and treating trauma and addiction is adaptable to any school of psychotherapy and will appeal to addiction experts trauma specialists and clinicians in all mental health fields. | Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

Rhetoric And Reality Presidential Commissions And The Making Of Public Policy

Since 1945 the role of the president in shaping domestic and foreign policy has changed dramatically. Though the prodigious growth of the federal bureaucracy under the Executive Branch reflects much of this change bureaucratic response to the major issues of the past three decades has been ineffective or nonexistent and a notable parallel development has been the increasing use of public commissions in the policymaking process. Dr. Tutchings studies more than 100 public commissions using a model of the policymaking process that includes demands decision and information costs and policy results and outcomes. Reviewing the results of the commissions as reflected in presidential support of recommendations (via proposed legislation) and in congressional response he notes that their membership has typically been dominated by government/corporate elites: as this membership has become more pluralistic there has been a sharp decline in the contributions of the commissions to the policymaking process. Perhaps the most significant contribution of the book is its detailed development of the concept of rhetorical policy as a first step in the policymaking process. | Rhetoric And Reality Presidential Commissions And The Making Of Public Policy

Hard Lessons Reflections on Governance and Crime Control in Late Modernity

Originally published in 2004. The essays in this engaging book catalogue a wide and varied range of instances where 'things go wrong' in the practices of criminal justice. The contributions document instances where laws policies and practices have produced unintended consequences of the most deleterious kind drawing attention to the prison system 'boot camps' detention centres and specific penal policies such as the 'short sharp shock' parental penalty and 'three strikes and you're out'. Also examined are policing practices such as 'zero tolerance' 'saturation policing' and punitive laws in the areas of drug use sex offences and prostitution. It is demonstrated that in each of these cases the objectives of government resulted in the creation of new and unforeseen problems requiring further reform of the criminal justice system. This is a familiar tale characteristic of the modernist impulses of contemporary government based on the notion that crime can be identified managed and controlled through the application and administration of institutionalised polices and practices. The present culture of 'high crime' - despite a top-heavy apparatus of crime control - appears to indicate the very opposite. | Hard Lessons Reflections on Governance and Crime Control in Late Modernity

Adoption Law and Human Rights International Perspectives

In recent decades there have been many changes to adoption law and practice such as a sharp decline in the voluntary relinquishment of children an increase in the number consigned to public care and an abrupt decrease in those made available on an intercountry basis. Additionally human rights are becoming more prominent particularly in relation to issues such as: non-consensual adoption; the ethics of intercountry adoption; the eligibility of LGBT adopters; the impact of commercial surrogacy; and the sometimes conflicting rights of birth parents and adoptees when accessing agency birth records. In this book O’Halloran presents a comparative analysis of the interaction between adoption law and human rights in common law (England and the US) civil law (France and Germany) and Asiatic traditions (Japan and China) while also developing a matrix of legal functions to assist in identifying and analysing areas of tension between human rights and adoption. This book is intended for a lawyer readership whether professional student or academic: researchers and postgraduate students in subjects such as social work social policy and politics may also find it helpful. | Adoption Law and Human Rights International Perspectives

Colonial Architecture and Urbanism in Africa Intertwined and Contested Histories

Colonial architecture and urbanism carved its way through space: ordering and classifying the built environment while projecting the authority of European powers across Africa in the name of science and progress. The built urban fabric left by colonial powers attests to its lingering impacts in shaping the present and the future trajectory of postcolonial cities in Africa. Colonial Architecture and Urbanism explores the intersection between architecture and urbanism as discursive cultural projects in Africa. Like other colonial institutions such as the courts police prisons and schools that were crucial in establishing and maintaining political domination colonial architecture and urbanism played s pivotal role in shaping the spatial and social structures of African cities during the 19th and 20th centuries. Indeed it is the cultural destination of colonial architecture and urbanism and the connection between them and colonialism that the volume seeks to critically address. The contributions drawn from different interdisciplinary fields map the historical processes of colonial architecture and urbanism and bring into sharp focus the dynamic conditions in which colonial states officials architects planners medical doctors and missionaries mutually constructed a hierarchical and exclusionary built environment that served the wider colonial project in Africa. | Colonial Architecture and Urbanism in Africa Intertwined and Contested Histories

Nancy Fraser and Participatory Parity Reframing Social Justice in South African Higher Education

Nancy Fraser and Participatory Parity provides a philosophical framework based on the work of Nancy Fraser examining how her ideas can be used to analyse contemporary issues in higher education and reimagine higher education practices. Providing a forum for considering Fraser’s work in relation to participatory parity in higher education the book shows how her political philosophy is relevant to higher education pedagogies scholarship and practice. The recent student protests in South Africa in 2015 and 2016 has created an impetus to think about how to do things differently in higher education in response to economic cultural and political inequities. This South African experience is aptly used as a prime example of rethinking issues of coloniality and social injustice in higher education. The contributors’ use of Nancy Fraser’s theories provides their analyses and reflections with a particularly sharp lens and clear focus. The book also puts her work into conversation with other contemporary writers on social justice and explores the resonances and differentiations of the various approaches. This book will be of great interest for academics researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of social justice in education and educational policy. | Nancy Fraser and Participatory Parity Reframing Social Justice in South African Higher Education

Representing China on the Historical London Stage From Orientalism to Intercultural Performance

This book provides a critical study of how China was represented on the historical London stage in selected examples from the late seventeenth century to the early twentieth century—which corresponds with the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) China’s last monarchy. The examples show that during this historical period the stage representations of the country were influenced in turn by Jesuit writings on China Britain’s expanding material interest in China the presence of British imperial power in Asia and the establishment of diasporic Chinese communities abroad. While finding that many of these works may be read as gendered and feminized Chang emphasizes that the Jesuits’ depiction of China as a country of high culture and in perennial conflict with the Tartars gradually lost prominence in dramatic imaginations to depictions of China’s material and visual attractions. Central to the book’s argument is that the stage representations of China were inherently intercultural and open to new influences manifested by the evolving combinations of Chinese and English (British) traits. Through the dramatization of the Chinese Other the representations questioned satirized and put in sharp relief the ontological and epistemological bases of the English (British) Self. | Representing China on the Historical London Stage From Orientalism to Intercultural Performance

Folk Music of Britain - and Beyond

Originally published in 1969. Until the latter half of the nineteenth century it was thought that England alone among the European countries and unlike Scotland and Ireland where collections of ballads and songs had already been published as early as the eighteenth century had no important native tradition of music. The founding of the (English) Folk-Song Society in 1898 however and the pioneering work of such collectors as Lucy Broadwood the Reverend S. Baring-Gould and later Cecil Sharp uncovered a still flourishing folk culture. Since then interest in this subject has grown steadily and the bibliography of publications of actual folk-songs and ballads is now huge. Frank Howes sets out a general and scholarly introduction first examining in detail the history and origins of folk music and going on to show the nature and vast amount of the material enforcing his arguments with a wealth of examples from around the world. His discussion of the differences of national idiom leads on to a comparison of British folk music with that of other European countries and America in which he pays due attention to the Celtic and Norse traditions. Separate sections on balladry carols street cries broadsides sea shanties nursery rhymes and instruments illustrate both the variety of folk music and the extent to which it permeates our national heritage. | Folk Music of Britain - and Beyond

A Press Divided Newspaper Coverage of the Civil War

Now in paperback A Press Divided provides new insights regarding the sharp political divisions that existed among the newspapers of the Civil War era. These newspapers were divided between North and South - and also divided within the North and South. These divisions reflected and exacerbated the conflicts in political thought that caused the Civil War and the political and ideological battles within the Union and the Confederacy about how to pursue the war. In the North dissenting voices alarmed the Lincoln administration to such a degree that draconian measures were taken to suppress dissenting newspapers and editors while in the South the Confederate government held to its fundamental belief in freedom of speech and was more tolerant of political attacks in the press. This volume consists of eighteen chapters on subjects including newspaper coverage of the rise of Lincoln press reports on George Armstrong Custer Confederate women war correspondents Civil War photojournalists newspaper coverage of the Emancipation Proclamation and the suppression of the dissident press. This book tells the story of a divided press before and during the Civil War discussing the roles played by newspapers in splitting the nation newspaper coverage of the war and the responses by the Union and Confederate administrations to press criticism. | A Press Divided Newspaper Coverage of the Civil War

Rethinking the Psychoanalysis of Masculinity From Toxic to Seminal

Drawing on a broad range of psychoanalytic cultural and social influences the author examines the concept of toxic masculinity for how it brings into focus a widespread anxiety about toxicity throughout daily life: In nature society and personal relationships. Aggressive misogynistic masculinity has become a major topic in recent years spreading throughout popular culture the media and research. Often called 'phallic ' it simmers in everyday life and hits the headlines for turning florid and violent in maintaining its dominance especially towards women. But at the extreme phallic masculinity has recently crystallized in a very different form as toxic masculinity and 'toxic' has become the near-universal epithet for all forms of extreme destructiveness in a 'toxic culture. ' It has brought into focus and named as masculine an anxiety over toxicity in every corner of everyday life. Exploring toxic masculinity in depth brings out a misogynistic current that pervades individual and social realms but also throws a sharp light on normal masculinity. By elaborating on the roots of this toxicity Figlio is able to draw out a different more positive alternative for masculinity with particular reference to the underlying fears around fertility and the seminal. With a strong research and clinical base this book is essential reading for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists and cultural and social theorists interested in exploring concepts of masculinity. | Rethinking the Psychoanalysis of Masculinity From Toxic to Seminal

Incarcerating Motherhood The Enduring Harms of First Short Periods of Imprisonment on Mothers

Incarcerating Motherhood explores how initial short period in prisons can negatively impact mothers and their children. We have much yet to understand about the enduring harms caused by first time incarceration especially for minimal time periods and for mothers with dependent children. With large numbers of female prisoners currently incarcerated for short periods in England and Wales (either on short sentences or remand) many of whom are primary caregivers this book asks: what kind of impact does this imprisonment has on both parent and child in the long term?Based on original research the experiences of sixteen mothers are presented to voice the material physical and emotional consequences of short-term imprisonment. The book explores to what extent these mothers lose their sense of identity in a short space of time whether this continues to affect them post-custody and what level of support they are provided during and post-custody. This book also explores what bearing the initial separation and the care provided during the mother’s absence will have on their children’s lives as well as whether the affects of imprisonment on the mother also increase the vulnerability of her children. Incarcerating Motherhood provides a platform for readers to hear how a ‘short sharp shock’ can cause enduring harms to an already vulnerable group in society and how even short-term imprisonment have long-lasting and multi-dimensional consequences. | Incarcerating Motherhood The Enduring Harms of First Short Periods of Imprisonment on Mothers

Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece

Sensing the Everyday is a multi-sited ethnographic inquiry based on fieldwork experiences and sharp everyday observations in the era of crisis. Blending sophisticated theoretical analyses with original ethnographic data C. Nadia Seremetakis journeys from Greece to Vienna Edinburgh Albania Ireland and beyond. Social crisis is seen through its transnational multiplication of borders thresholds and margins divisions and localities as linguistic bodily sensory and performative sites of the quotidian in process. The book proposes everyday life not as a sanctuary or as a recessed zone distanced from the structural violence of the state and the market but as a condition of im/possibility unable to be lived as such yet still an encapsulating habitus. There the impossibility of the quotidian is concretized as fragmentary and fragmenting material forces. Seremetakis weaves together topics as diverse as borders and bodies history and death the earth and the senses language and affect violence and public culture the sociality of dreaming and the spatialization of the traumatic in a journey through antiphonic witnessing and memory. Her montage explores various ways of juxtaposing reality with the irreal and the imaginal to expose the fictioning of social reality. The book locates her approach to ethnography and the ‘native ethnographer’ in wider anthropological and philosophical debates and proposes a dialogical interfacing of theory and practice the translation of academic knowledge to public knowledge | Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece

White Twentieth Anniversary Edition

Now twenty years since its initial release Richard Dyer’s classic text White remains a groundbreaking and insightful study of the representation of whiteness in Western visual culture. White explores how while racial representation is central to the organisation of the contemporary world white people have remained a largely unexamined category in sharp contrast to the many studies of images of black and Asian peoples. Looking beyond the apparent unremarkability of whiteness Dyer demonstrates the importance of analysing images of white people. Dyer places this representation within the contexts of Christianity ‘race’ and colonialism. In a series of absorbing case studies he shows the construction of whiteness in the technology of photography and film as part of a wider ‘culture of light’; discusses heroic white masculinity in muscle-man action cinema from Tarzan and Hercules to Conan and Rambo; analyses the stifling role of white women in end-of-empire fictions like Jewel in the Crown and traces the associations of whiteness with death in Falling Down horror movies and cult dystopian films such as Blade Runner and the Aliens trilogy. This twentieth anniversary edition includes a new introductory chapter by Maxime Cervulle entitled ‘Looking into the light: Whiteness racism and regimes of representation’. This new introduction illuminates how Dyer has made a major contribution to the study of contemporary regimes of representation by unveiling the cultural mechanisms that have formed and reinforced white hegemony mechanisms under which white people have come to represent what is ordinary neutral even universal. | White Twentieth Anniversary Edition

The Making of British Foreign Policy

How is foreign policy made? Who makes it? To what conscious and unconscious influences are policy-makers subject? What is distinctive about the immensely complex process as it unfolds in Britain? And what therefore is distinctive and characteristic about Britain’s foreign policy today? Who in Britain has the decisive word? Why is the Foreign Office the king-pin of the system? Why does Parliament count for so little? Does public opinion count at all? Originally published in 1968 these are some of the questions which this book considers in the course of a tightly argued but very readable analysis. Some had been considered on their own elsewhere but this study represented the first attempt by a contemporary political scientist to pull together in brief compass all the relevant threads – including the constitutional the political the institutional and the sociological. It is done moreover on the basis of a sharp assessment of the type of foreign policy problem that most notably confronted Britain at the time. The author has been successively journalist official of the Israel Government and university lecturer in politics. Throughout his special interests and activities have been in the sphere of international affairs and it was while teaching International Relations at the University of Sussex that he wrote this book. He combines the experience of one who has seen the policy being made from the inside with the theoretical insight of the political scientist; he assesses with a sympathetic but unemotional detachment the constraints on the formation of British foreign policy. | The Making of British Foreign Policy
