La maquinaria antiderechos humanos: Autoritarismo digital y ataque global contra los derechos humanos

Para ello, combina el modelo político y el modelo de minorías en un marco teórico que abarca los impactos del discurso virtual antiderechos humanos. También documenta dichos impactos mediante la sistematización de ataques en redes sociales a activistas y entrevistas a…

The Madness of King Charles III: Shakespeare and the Modern Monarchy
Prince Charles’s Stratford rendition of ‘To be or not to be’ on Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary, together with his TV recital of Cranmer’s eulogy of Elizabeth I, as a 90th birthday present to his mother, crowned the old alliance between the Bard and British monarchy. For whereas critics read the plays as rehearsals for the execution of Charles I, the Prince’s theatre mania harks back to the royal restoration staged in comedies like All’s Well Tha…

Necropolitics: Mass Graves and Exhumations in the Age of Human Rights
This remarkable book demonstrates through in-depth case studies from ten countries around the world how the forensic exhumation of mass graves is inextricably intertwined with grassroots initiatives, national political developments, international human rights advocacy, and transnational claims of transitional justice.
Combining Historical Research and Narrative Inquiry to Create Chronicles and Narratives
Stories about the Idaho State Library, chronicles and narratives, are reported in my doctoral dissertation (Wilson, 2005). The chronicles, reconstructed from documents and records, provided a presentation of the people, events, and activities to frame the stories. The narratives, excerpted from interviews, provided the rich description and unique perspectives of the two living State Librarians who directed the agency between 1962 and 2005. The fo…

Ship of Fools: Foucault and the Shakespeareans
Half a century after Michel Foucault's career was launched in the Anglo-Saxon world, with the English translation of Folie et Déraison: Histoire de la Folie à l’âge classique as Madness and Civilization, his reputation within Shakespeare studies appears to have sunk without trace. In particular, his claim that “in Shakespeare madness occupies an extreme position” that “opens into a tear in the fabric of the world”, because there is “no going back…

The Sage Handbook of Social Anthropology
Trustworthiness: The Commentators
Mark Thompson deplores the decline in the public trust of government and of public service institutions such as the BBC. But there has also been a decline in another form of trust: government's trust in the ability of professionals such as doctors and teachers to deliver high quality public services. And, unlike Thompson's type of trust, this decline was inevitable, because it was based on untenable assumptions concerning professional motivation.…
Substance Use and Social Identity in the Lesbian Community
Although the study results report discrepancies in the rates of substance abuse in the lesbian community, the general consensus in the field of gay and lesbian studies is that these individuals, as a whole, have a higher rate of substance use. For this study, data were collected via the Internet on the use of drugs and alcohol, level of self-esteem, and degree of social identity in the lesbian community. A correlation analysis was used to determi…
Constitutional Change: A Note by the Bedside
The British constitution is undergoing major change although it tends to be carried out piecemeal and is often ignored. There are contradictory trends in what is happening. Some changes are deliberate major reforms which tend to disperse power and strengthen the rights of the individual against the State. Other changes are incidental by-products of other government policies, and tend in the other direction, towards the greater concentration of po…
Is domestic violence a gender issue? Views from a British city1
Domestic violence involves the abuse, whether emotional, physical, sexual and/or economic, of one or more family (or ex‐family) members by another family member within the home or wider domestic context. It is typically associated with increasing entrapment, injury, medical complaints, psycho‐social problems and (sometimes) unsuccessful help‐seeking. Research evidence demonstrates that domestic abuse is prolific, prolonged, impacts physically, em…

"Important work blends relational and essentialist approaches to the study of ethnicity.

Culture and Rights: Anthropological Perspectives
Do people everywhere have the same, or even compatible, ideas about multiculturalism, indigenous rights or women's rights? The authors of this book move beyond the traditional terms of the universalism versus cultural relativism debate. Through detailed case-studies from around the world (Hawaii, France, Thailand, Botswana, Greece, Nepal and Canada) they explore the concrete effects of rights talk and rights institutions on people's lives

Because my house has old wiring and the switch is metal, I get a slight tingle, which suggests that I might electrocute myself. There is a small risk of that-500 people die of electrocution every year in the United States. I wash my face in the morning with soap. But modern soap is not just pure sodium stearate; it contains cosmetic addi…

The Reagan administration is intent on rolling back regulations it considers unwise to give new life to American industry, but regulations were instituted to protect individuals against long-term hazards. The authors believe these hazards must be assessed before a regulation is modified, suspended, or implemented. They point out the problems inherent in defining, perceiving, and estimating risk. Throughout, they combine theoretical discussions wi…

Nuclear Proliferation and the Case of Iraq
On Thanksgiving Day, 1990, President Bush announced that Iraq might get nuclear weapons sooner than some experts believed, and from that time forward Iraq's nuclear capacity was repeatedly cited as a major justification for pursuing the use of force against Iraq. Assuming that Iraq's nuclear research facilities have surely been destroyed during the massive bombing assault that began on 16 January 1991 makes it important that everyone reexamine th…

Chernobyl: The inevitable results of secrecy
The Chernobyl accident was the inevitable outcome of a combination of bad design, bad management and bad communication practices in the Soviet nuclear industry. We review the causes of the accident, its impact on Soviet society, and its effects on the health of the population in the surrounding areas. It appears that the secrecy that was endemic in the USSR has had profound negative effects on both technological safety and public health.

A Review of Data Based Studies Addressing the Affects of Homosexual Parenting on Children's Sexual and Social Functioning
Part of the intellectual and political movement to provide homosexuals equal rights and opportunities under the law extends to homosexuals and bisexuals seeking custody of their biological children after divorce and/or custody of an adopted child. Family courts take into consideration parents' sexual orientation when considering custody decisions. To date, the data based research on children reared by homosexual parents is sparse. A search of the…
