"Mary Josephson" is one of many pseudonyms of the New York-based art critic, conceptual artist and novelist Brian O'Doherty (born 1928), perhaps best known for his interrogation of the gallery space in the essays collected as Inside the White Cube. In tandem with writings and artworks signed as Patrick Ireland--a protest against British military occupation in Northern Ireland--O'Doherty wrote texts as Josephson from 1971 to 1973 while an editor at Art in America. Her name deriving from O'Doherty's middle and confirmation names (Mary and Joseph), the persona was a writing exercise that allowed the author, as he put it, to "free myself from limiting male selfhood, to substitute another voice for that inner voice that never stops speaking, that won't leave us alone." Collected here for the first time, the essays are fascinating combinations of art criticism, reflexive fiction and institutional critique.

'THE ONE' is a light-hearted read, simple in explanation, but what are perhaps deeper, underlying messages for each reader to ingest and make sense of in their own particular way. It is hoped that the book will serve as a conduit in revealing eternal truths. Like the Lotus Blossom, one petal after the other opening, unfolding and transforming to show the beauty and wisdom within. All springing forth from THE ONE.

A Study of Rule-of-Law Violations, Poverty, Civilian Suffering and Violations o ISBN: 0359703097 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780359703098 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 117120.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Almost 25 years after the end of the war, Bosnian citizens are trapped in a hand-to-mouth existence, with some 23% estimated to be living at or below the absolute poverty line. This has led to a new mass exodus, leading to hundreds of thousands of people leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina each year. Social exclusion and discrimination ? in particular of Roma, LGBT people and people with disabilities ? also remained widespread in 2018, despite the adoption of a progressive Law on Prevention of Discrimination in 2016. Violations of press freedoms are also a major problem in the country; with 41 attacks against journalists having been reported since 2018, including five death threats, seven physical attacks, and eight direct threats by politicians ? indicating an overall lack of rule-of-law and democracy in the country. Hence this book endeavours to improve human rights, rule of law, political stability and prosperity in Bosnia and Herzegovina; so that peace and harmony can be manifested in this beautiful country.

Описание: Even though Saudi Arabia has taken a zero-tolerance approach to ISIS, the Kingdom undermines whatever good work it does by continuing to spend billions of dollars spreading Wahhabism, its ultraconservative brand of Islam ? polling data suggesting that support for ISIS in Saudi Arabia hovers around 5%; representing over a half a million potential donors to ISIS. Hence this book focuses on improving religious- and human rights education in the Kingdom; also in view that pressure on Saudi Arabia over the detention and treatment of political prisoners has been growing in 2019 amid claims that female activists have been subjected to electric shocks, lashings and sexual harassment in custody; in a crackdown ordered by King Salman's heir, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Hence this book endeavours to improve public policy in Saudi Arabia; by exploring both social scientific and Islamic approaches, so that human rights, gender equality, religious education and freedom of expression can be improved in Saudi Arabia.

Описание: The vandalising of the Hong Kong parliament building on 1. July 2019 ? which followed after the events of 12 June 2019, where the Hong Kong police used unnecessary and excessive force against peaceful protesters ? pose an unprecedented challenge to the CPC government of China; the Hong Kong "two systems" crisis reflecting a broader, global clash not so much of civilisations but rather of ideologies ? a contest between individualism and collectivism: Liberal, democratic laws-based governance against authoritarian, nationalist rule ? which may be the defining struggle of our age. Hence this evidenced based study addresses the democratic deficit and the violation of civil liberties in the world's most populous country ? the author offering suggestions how to overcome these challenges in China, by advocating a social-scientific and psycho-historical analysis; so that public policy in Hong Kong and Mainland China can be improved, to ensure that peace, prosperity and civil rights can be manifested for all in China.

Описание: The human rights situation in Brunei has raised considerable concern in the international community due to Brunei's Syariah Penal Code (SPCO) which went into effect on April 3, 2019 ? the law imposing death by stoning for extramarital sex and anal sex; and a wide range of restrictions that discriminate against women and gender minorities, and violates freedom of expression. Although Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has described a "de facto moratorium on capital punishment" in Brunei ? stating that the death penalty would not be enforced in the implementation of the SPCO ? the sultan could reverse his decision on a whim; and the punishments of amputation and whipping could still be used. Even if its harshest provisions are not enforced, the law will serve its evident purpose: to cement discrimination against LGBT people and women. Hence this book endeavours to improve public policy in Brunei; by exploring both social scientific and Islamic approaches, so that human rights and gender equality can be improved in Brunei.

Описание: Audacious assassinations and failed bombing plots in the Netherlands, Denmark and France point to the fierce rivalry between Iran's two intelligence agencies ? namely the Intelligence Ministry, controlled by President Hassan Rouhani, and the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC); controlled by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Hence it is imperative that Iran orders a crackdown on rogue elements and extremists within their intelligence agencies and branches of the Iranian military IRGC ? also in view that President Rouhani and his intelligence minister may be initiating more arrests to prevent the IRGC from becoming more powerful and to reduce its dominating role in carrying out widespread arrests of political and civil rights activists... Advocating both social scientific and Islamic approaches, this book endeavours to improve public policy in Iran ? also in view of rising tensions with the United States and Europe ? so that peace and prosperity can be manifested in Persia.

Описание: The SP Party has governed Vienna - and Austria on a national level - for a few years since 1946. The SP Party is also responsible for facilitating mediocrity, victimisation and violation of human rights in Austria. This includes victimisation of clients at the Social Welfare Department and the Public Employment Service in Vienna (AMS); as well as the Department of Families - the author having conducted observational studies within these departments. Being shielded by the SP Party, bureaucrats in the Vienna magistrates are not held accountable when victimising marginalized people and clients; abusing their power at their disgression - so this evidence-based study concludes. Social challenges - such as abuse of power, bureaucratic despotism and solidarity deficit within the SP - are also explored in this evidence-based study; so that basic human rights can be restored in Austria. It should also be noted, that the SP Party's contribution to global gender equality and global peacebuilding is absolute zero
