The Kantian Subject New Interpretative Essays

This book presents a critical reconsideration of the Kantian cognitive and practical subject. Special attention is devoted to highlighting the complex relation between subjectivity as it is presented in the three critiques and the way in which it is construed in other writings in particular the Anthropology. While for Kant our cognitive apparatus and the structure of our will are common to all humans the anthropological subject reveals degrees of variation depending on a myriad of external circumstances that pose a challenge to the unity of Kant’s account and await theoretical solutions. The chapters collected in the volume delve into how the different shapes of human nature are not unrelated. They explore how and why different ‘Kantian subjects’ are closely connected at their core if not entirely unified. The notions of personality humanity and citizenship will serve as leading threads for the reconstruction of this possible underlying unity. An engaging read that promises to deepen our understanding of human nature the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy politics psychology social anthropology ethics and epistemology. | The Kantian Subject New Interpretative Essays

Queer Reflections on AI Uncertain Intelligences

This volume offers a socio-technical exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it reflects and reproduces certain normative representations of gender and sexuality to ultimately guide more diverse and radical discussions of life with digital technologies. Moving beyond the examination of empirical examples and technical solutions the book approaches the relationship between queerness and AI from a theoretical perspective that posits queer theory as central to understanding AI differently. The chapters pose questions about the politics and ethics of machine embodiments and data imaginaries on the one hand and about technical possibilities for a production of social identities characterised by shifting diversity and multiplicity on the other as they are mediated by and through digital technologies. Transgressing disciplinary boundaries to engage a diversity of conceptual tools critical approaches and theoretical traditions this book will be an important resource for students and researchers of gender and sexuality new media and digital cultures cultural theory art and visual culture and AI.

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period provides a comprehensive analysis of the course of right-wing politics in the country in the last 40 years. In 1983 after the fall of a violent military regime Argentina began the longest period of democratic stability in its history—40 years marked by economic institutional social and political crises. This book examines the trajectory of the different right-wing organisations and ideological developments during these years seeking to understand both the distinctions and the continuities that lie beneath its metamorphoses. Argentina has always acted as a laboratory in which to appreciate how the major problems and questions that concern those who have studied the right-wing in recent decades are translated into a particular political culture. In an international scenario marked by the social and political growth of different right-wing movements some of which pose a threat to liberal democracies the study of the Argentine case can provide greater clarity and a different perspective on problems that transcend this specific national case. This book will be of interest to scholars of Argentinian and Latin American politics and history as well as specialists on the comparative politics of the radical right. | Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Postrevolutionary Peru The Politics Of Transformation

Whether the nearly twelve years of military rule in Peru-between October 1968 and July 1980-are labelled a revolution œso-called revolution or simply a ‘military dictatorship’ one fact remains inescapable: the reforms and programs of the armed forces during that period profoundly altered Peruvian society. This book examines the social political and economic legacies of the military government and identifies major areas of tension that are likely to pose problems for the new civilian government. Following a review of the ideology socio-economic goals and political performance of the Institutional Revolution of the Armed Forces the authors analyze the contemporary political economy of Peru and catalog the political and economic policy alternatives available to the Belaúnde regime in the next few years. They discuss the return to partisan politics in Peru urban and rural conditions and the way in which real political power has remained with the military forces despite their surrender of formal authority. Subsequent chapters outline the IMF-imposed stabilization program revealing its devastating effects on Lima's urban poor and summarize recent Peruvian foreign policy. A final chapter draws on the prior discussion to present a critical analysis of the transitionary process from military to civilian rule in Peru. | Postrevolutionary Peru The Politics Of Transformation

The Politicized Concert Mass (1967-2007) From Secularism to Pluralism

Since the transformative 1960s concert masses have incorporated a range of political and religious views that mirror their socio-cultural context. Those of the long 1960s (c1958-1975) reflect non-conformism and social activism; those of the 1980s environmentalism; those of the 1990s universalism; and those of the 2000s cultural pluralism. Despite utilizing a format with its roots in the Roman Catholic liturgy many of these politicized concert masses also reflect the increasing religious diversification of Western societies. By introducing non-Catholic and often non-Christian beliefs into masses that also remain respectful of Christian tradition composers in the later twentieth century have employed the genre to promote a conciliatory way of being that promotes the value of heterogeneity and reinforces the need to protect the diversity of musics species and spiritualities that enrich life. In combining the political with the religious the case studies presented pose challenges for both supporters and detractors of the secularization paradigm. Overarchingly they demonstrate that any binary division that separates life into either the religious or the secular and promotes one over the other denies the complexity of lived experience and constitutes a diminution of what it is to be human. | The Politicized Concert Mass (1967-2007) From Secularism to Pluralism

Biopolitics and Resistance in Legal Education

Taking up the study of legal education in distinctly biopolitical terms this book provides a critical and political analysis of resistance in the law school. Legal education concerns the complex pathways by which an individual becomes a lawyer making the journey from lay-person to expert from student to practitioner. To pose the idea of a biopolitics of legal education is not only to recognise the tensions surrounding this journey but also to recognise that legal education is a key site in which the subject engages and is engaged by a particular structure—and here the particular structure of the law school. This book explores the resistance to that structure including: different ways in which law’s pedagogic structures might be incomplete or are being fought against; the use of less conventional elements of cultural discourse to resist the abstraction of the lawyer in students’ subject formation; the centralisation of queer and feminist discourses to disrupt the hierarchies of the legal curriculum; the use of digital technologies; the place of embodiment in legal education settings; and the impacts of posthuman knowledges and contexts on legal learning. Assembling original field-defining essays by both leading international scholars and emerging researchers this book constitutes an indispensable resource in legal education research and scholarship that will appeal to legal academics everywhere. | Biopolitics and Resistance in Legal Education

Law Policy and Climate Change The Regulation of Systemic Risks

Focusing on systemic risks caused by climate change this book examines how these risks can be effectively regulated to ensure resilience and avoid catastrophe. Systemic risks are risks that threaten the systems upon which society depends including ecosystems social systems financial systems and systems of infrastructure. Such risks are typically characterised by inherent complexity profound uncertainty and overwhelming ambiguity. In combination these features pose significant regulatory challenges for policy and law-makers. Examining how different types of systemic risks caused by climate change are being regulated in four different jurisdictions – the EU the UK the US and Australia – this book identifies deficiencies associated with regulating systemic risks using a traditional approach based on a linear relationship between risk and regulation which is widely used to regulate risk. The book advances a regulatory approach that is instead founded on the concept of risk governance. This involves a structured yet flexible holistic interdisciplinary and inclusive basis for responding to systemic risks; and it is this book argues a more effective basis for regulating systemic risks given their uncertainty complexity and ambiguity. This book will appeal to academics policy and law-makers and practitioners working at the intersection of law and policy in the areas of regulation risk management and climate change. | Law Policy and Climate Change The Regulation of Systemic Risks

Industrial Hygiene Improving Worker Health through an Operational Risk Approach

Over the past forty years the Industrial Hygiene profession has significantly grown and is expected to continue to grow as workplaces evolve in the development management and usage of hazardous materials. This growth in the profession is also related to the shift in public knowledge and perception regarding the acceptance of the health risk from activities performed at work and home. As time progresses workplaces are being regulated to not only minimize the health imparts to the workforce but also decrease the likelihood of negatively impacting the environment. Society has become more educated on the potential impacts on human health and the environment that hazardous materials activities and environments can pose. As such there has been a noticeable decrease in the acceptance of risk by workers and the public. The accepted standard of performance for Industrial Hygiene has grown beyond compliance but now also focuses on improving existing processes and practices to create a workplace free from work related injury and illness. Features: Shows application of risk mitigating techniques for industrial hygienists Explains the definition of risk and how it applies to health and safety management Defines the need for quality data management and continuous improvement in assessments Describes the role of the Industrial Hygienist and risk management when responding to emergencies Industrial Hygiene: Improving Worker Health through an Operational Risk Approach focuses on the implementation of Industrial Hygiene using a risk-based approach in an operational environment. The approaches and methods described in this book are designed to assist the Industrial Hygienist in managing workplace risks including risks associated with anticipation recognition evaluation and hazard control processes. | Industrial Hygiene Improving Worker Health through an Operational Risk Approach

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers presents new challenges to the environment workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i. e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute this book evaluates fashion trends what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social environmental and political factors should be maintained and business approaches adopted in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion. | Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

Speech and Silence in Contemporary Children’s Literature

Speech and Silence in Contemporary Children’s Literature brings a fresh perspective to a central literary question— Who speaks?— by examining a variety of represented silences. These include children who do not speak do not yet speak effectively or speak on behalf of others. A rich and unexamined literary archive explores the problematics of children who are literally silent or metaphorically so because they cannot communicate effectively with adults or peers. This project centers children’s literature in the question of voice by considering disability gender race and ecocriticism. Children’s literature rests on a paradox at the root of its own genre: it is produced by an adult author writing to a constructed idea of what children should be. By reading a range of contemporary children’s literature this book scrutinizes how such texts narrate the child’s journey from communicative alterity to a place of empowered adult speech. Sometimes the child’s verbal enclosure enables privacy and resistance. At other times silence is coerced or imposed or arises from bodily impairment. Children may act as intermediaries speaking on behalf of species that cannot. Recently we have seen children exercise their voices on the world stage and as authors. In all cases the texts analyzed here reveal speech as a minefield to be traversed. Children who talk too much too little or with insufficient expertise pose problems to themselves and others. Implicitly and sometimes explicitly they attempt to hold adults to account— inside and outside the text. Speech and Silence in Contemporary Children’s Literature addresses this underconceptualized subject in what will be an important text for scholars of children’s literature childhood studies English disability studies gender studies race studies ecopedagogy and education.

Comfort and Contemporary Culture The problems of the ‘good life’ on an increasingly uncomfortable planet

To be comfortable stands as an aspiration of the times; to be comfortable defines what it means to live ‘the good life’. We talk about such things as maintaining a comfortable home a comfortable lifestyle and a comfortable retirement. We seek out comforts in the relationships we sustain the leisure practices we enact and the possessions we accumulate. We look for promises of comfort in the words of a close friend and our next pair of shoes. Furnished in the home optionally outfitted in cars scrutinised in holiday brochures and brushed up against in the clothes we wear comfort is there marking distinctions and framing decisions about what it means to live well. But by consuming comfort in the ways that we do we do ourselves harm and limit our only planet of its capacity to provide for the requirements of life. This is a world that grows ever more uncomfortable because of comfort and when linked to consumption and excess indulgence and apathy it occurs that comfort carries effects that have existential consequence. Utilising analyses of popular culture and ethnographic accounts of everyday life Comfort and Contemporary Culture works through case study accounts of comfort’s enactment to pose questions around what it means to live now. Comfort and Contemporary Culture poses alternative renderings of the idea of comfort to return the concept to its earliest roots in notions of confortāre. The revisioning of what we take as comfort requires urgent attention with the ecological social and intrapersonal implications of comfort’s current excesses demonstrative of this need. This book will be relevant reading for students and scholars of cultural studies and sociology cultural anthropology social geography and studies of community. | Comfort and Contemporary Culture The problems of the ‘good life’ on an increasingly uncomfortable planet

Preventing Nuclear War The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

Preventing Nuclear War: The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons provides a window into the work of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) health professionals advocates and activists as they persuaded diplomats parliamentarians the media and the public to ban nuclear weapons. Why are doctors speaking out about nuclear weapons and nuclear war an issue that seems to be the exclusive province of diplomats politicians and security experts? This volume offers an answer in the unique perspective of health professionals on the nature of nuclear weapons their medical and humanitarian consequences and the responsibility to prevent what cannot be treated. On 7 July 2017 the UN successfully concluded negotiations on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The ban treaty emerged from a humanitarian initiative that shifted the focus away from deterrence-based rationales used by the nuclear-armed states and toward an evidence-based understanding of the existential threat nuclear weapons pose to humanity. Since 1980 IPPNW has been the leading medical organization primarily dedicated to the abolition of nuclear weapons. With its civil society partners in ICAN—the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons—IPPNW brought the scientific evidence about nuclear weapons and nuclear war into the treaty negotiations and into the language of the TPNW itself. The contributors to this volume show the dedication and diverse strategies that have together made up a unified and very significant contribution to ridding the world of nuclear weapons. Reflecting honestly on what has been learnt and have the potential to contribute to wider learning outside the anti-nuclear community Preventing Nuclear War: The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will be of great use to medical and health professionals humanitarian professionals and anyone wanting to work towards a more peaceful and equitable world. The chapters originally published as a special issue of Medicine Conflict and Survival. | Preventing Nuclear War The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
