Описание:

The 21st century might well be called the age of hatred. This is not because there is more violence in the world but because hatred has been transformed from a concept perceived to be a by-product of personal or collective violence into a discursive field.
But what if longstanding antagonisms, especially those between social groups, turned out to involve desire rather than revulsion? The Ideology of Hatred develops a psychosocial framework for understanding this new phenomenon by interrogating unconscious mechanisms within national discourse. It opens new and timely venues for thinking about the paradoxes of love and hate while raising questions about social attachment and otherness. Is it possible that hatred operates by maintaining a safe closeness, enhancing the illusion of separateness as well as a sense of proximity at one and the same time? Could it be that love actually survives through the discourse of hatred as an invisible relation of attachment, necessary but unthinkable? A key term in the book is the “political unconscious,” a concept signifying the transformation of the unthinkable into a language that disavows the desire of and for the Other. Invoking this and other psychoanalytic concepts, the book proposes that at the heart of all national conflicts lies a riddle: the enigma of desire. The discourse of hatred works today as both a defense mechanism and as a political fantasy whose dream is to annihilate the Other of desire, that familial and different, threatening and intimate Other. Yet because love-in-hatred is denied but not erased, love can therefore also be reimagined. This suggests that untying and recognizing relations of intimacy and dependency can, under certain circumstances, change the discourse of hatred into relations of peace and even friendship.
In addition to its strong theoretical component, the book is also based on extensive empirical research, especially into hate relations among Jews and between Jews and Palestinians in Israel.

Описание: International law imposes on states a duty to prohibit `advocacy of religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination or violence`. What speech acts or publications fall under this offence? How do judges ascertain such `incitement` has been committed? This book addresses these questions from the perspective of international and comparative law.

Описание: Simon May develops a radically new understanding of love as the emotion we feel towards those we experience as grounding our life-as offering us a promise of home-in a world that we supremely value. He also proposes that the child is supplanting the romantic partner as the supreme object of love.

Описание: When scholars discuss the medieval past, the temptation is to become immersed there, to deepen our appreciation of the nuances of the medieval sources through debate about their meaning. But the past informs the present in a myriad of ways and medievalists can, and should, use their research to address the concerns and interests of contemporary society. This volume presents a number of carefully commissioned essays that demonstrate the fertility and originality of recent work in Medieval Studies. Above all, they have been selected for relevance. Most contributors are in the earlier stages of their careers and their approaches clearly reflect how interdisciplinary methodologies applied to Medieval Studies have potential repercussions and value far beyond the boundaries of the Middles Ages. These chapters are powerful demonstrations of the value of medieval research to our own times, both in terms of providing answers to some of the specific questions facing humanity today and in terms of much broader considerations. Taken together, the research presented here also provides readers with confidence in the fact that Medieval Studies cannot be neglected without a great loss to the understanding of what it means to be human.

Описание: The goal of this book is to explore how gender is portrayed in films and the impact that has on us on a personal level and on a larger societal level. Psych Cinema is a YouTube video series where Jonathan Hetterly analyzes the psychology and mental health aspects of the films we watch and love. This book would be a collection of essays examining the evolution of masculinity as represented in our society and recent films. In the age of #MeToo, #TimesUp, mass shooters, and a rise in nationalism, there is a national conversation happening around masculine identity. The book would be a mixture of 'subcategories' or 'sections' that profile either cinematic tropes or psychological concepts that then would be broken down in film analysis and psychoeducation. The book would also include profiles. These profiles could be integrated into the chapters or exist as stand-alone sidebars. These profiles would include symptom and diagnostic checklists for specific disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and other psychology-related conditions and diagnoses. Profiles could also provide a deeper look into an actor or director, examining common psychological themes they've tackled over the course of their robust filmography. Finally, profiles could spotlight actors and directors who have made recent headlines on this topic, for better or for worse. Psychology, mental health, and modern masculinity are all trending topics in our society. A book that attempts to integrate these topics while examining them through cinema seems like a perfect marriage. This book is designed to informative, provocative, and entertaining.

Описание: Mark Johnson is one of the great thinkers of our time on how the body shapes the mind. This book brings together a selection of essays from the past two decades that build a powerful argument that any scientifically and philosophically satisfactory view of mind and thought must ultimately explain how bodily perception and action give rise to cognition, meaning, language, action, and values.

A brief account of Johnson's own intellectual journey, through which we track some of the most important discoveries in the field over the past forty years, sets the stage. Subsequent chapters set out Johnson's important role in embodied cognition theory, including his cofounding (with George Lakoff) of conceptual metaphor theory and, later, their theory of bodily structures and processes that underlie all meaning, conceptualization, and reasoning. A detailed account of how meaning arises from our physical engagement with our environments provides the basis for a nondualistic, nonreductive view of mind that he sees as most congruous with the latest cognitive science. A concluding section explores the implications of our embodiment for our understanding of knowledge, reason, and truth. The resulting book will be essential for all philosophers dealing with mind, thought, and language.
