Taylor & Francis Ltd The Crime of Destruction and the Law of Genocide
Book SynopsisThis highly original work provides a thought-provoking and valuable resource for researchers and academics with an interest in genocide, criminology, international organizations, and law and society. In her book, Caroline Fournet examines the law relating to genocide and explores the apparent failure of society to provide an adequate response to incidences of mass atrocity. The work casts a legal perspective on this social phenomenon to show that genocide fails to be appropriately remembered due to inherent defects in the law of genocide itself. The book thus connects the social response to the legal theory and practice, and trials in particular. Fournet''s study illustrates the shortcomings of the Genocide Convention as a means of preventing and punishing genocide as well as its consequent failure to ensure the memory of this heinous crime.Trade Review'Genocide still features on today's front pages. This book offers intriguing insights into our collective failures of imagination and practice in preventing and punishing mass atrocity. It will be of interest to lawyers and policy makers, and to all who seek to understand the origins of our tragic institutional shortcomings and our moral debt to the memory of the victims.' David Fraser, Professor of Law and Social Theory, University of NottinghamTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: memory and genocide. Part I Specificity and Uniqueness of Genocides: The crime of genocide: 'A crime without a name'?; Dehumanizing intent and death by destruction. Part II The Conventional Interpretation of the Specificity of the Crime of Genocide: The Restrictive Approach of the Genocide Convention: The conventional approach to the genocidal pattern of conduct: the omission of dehumanization; The conventional selective protection of groups: the omission of 'racialization'; The conventional approach to genocidal intent; The genocidal state; The conventional omission of genocide denial; The conventional restrictive approach and the jus cogens prohibition of genocide. Part III Consequences of the Conventional Restrictive Approach to the Crime of Genocide: The Inapplicability of the Genocide Convention and Its Impact on Collective Memory of the Crime: The symptoms of the inapplicability of the genocide convention: the lack of state practice; Legal memory: its impact on social and collective memory of the crime and as a tool against denial; Conclusion: forgiving the unforgivable?; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Ltd COVID19 Communication and Culture
Book SynopsisThis book analyses some of the many upheavals brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of the COVID-19communicationculture interface, with a particular focus on the new global, virtual workplace. It brings together a pluridisciplinary and multinational team of researchers from the fields of sociology and organisational studies, discourse analysis, linguistics, communication and cultural studies, and includes testimonials from actors within the professional sector such as international managers, consultants and foreign trade advisors. The collection examines a wide range of phenomena including communication on the pandemic by public authorities, the pandemic as a discursive construct, the digital turn and its impact on communication, the role of social media, as well as national diplomacy and questions of surveillance, (bio)power and trust. Issues pertaining specifically to the workplace focus on the impact of remote work, including the challenge of buildTrade Review'In 2020 the global workplace underwent a fundamental change with the almost wholesale transfer of communicative labour from physical spaces in the real world to virtual spaces online. This has had profound implications not only for the way we work but also for how we communicate with one another as human beings. In this much needed volume, Fiona Rossette-Crake and Elvis Buckwalter present a pluridisciplinary range of contributions which reveal the manifold experience of remote working in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. For scholars and students interested in how the pandemic has impacted on work in the domains of discourse, communication, linguistic diversity, culture, management, public messaging, government policy or the operations of biopower and surveillance, this collection is essential reading.'John O’Regan, Professor of Critical Applied Linguistics, University College London, UK'This volume is one of the firsts to take stock of the fundamental changes brought on by the pandemic, both in how we as a society interact about a global crisis, and both how it affects our interactions in professional situations. The professional and research insights from a group of thought leaders will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience interested in exploring the pandemic through the lenses of communication, culture and organisation.' Erika Darics, Lecturer in Communication and Information Science, University of Groningen, Netherlands'Of course, COVID-19 has been thoroughly researched from a public health and epidemiology perspective. But it is so good to see scholars in social sciences and communication get involved too, foregrounding other, equally relevant issues like responsibility, power and trust through the powerful lenses of discourse, narrative and culture. This is a highly welcome, timely volume indeed.'Geert Jacobs, Professor of English Business Communication, Ghent University, BelgiumTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.
