Taylor & Francis Ltd Regulating Audiovisual Services 4 Library of
Book SynopsisIn recent years, the changing nature of audiovisual services has had a significant impact on regulatory policy and practice. The adoption of digital technology means that broadcasting, cable, satellite, the Internet and mobile telephony are converging, enabling each of them to deliver the same kinds of content and allowing users to exercise much greater choice over the kind of material that they receive and when they receive it. The essays examine the implications for regulatory design, asking whether there is still a role for traditional-style state controls, or whether other techniques, such as competition in the market and self-regulation, are more appropriate. They also explore how, in the digital era, structural issues of media ownership and control become problems of access and interconnection between services and how content regulation focuses more on problems raised by the interactions between providers and users, the relationship between freedom of information and technologiesTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Convergence and Regulation: New challenges for European multimedia policy: a German perspective, Wolfgang Hoffmann-Riem; Regulatory convergence?

Taylor & Francis Inc Design and Political Dissent
Book SynopsisThis book examines, through an interdisciplinary lens, the relationship between political dissent and processes of designing.In the past twenty years, theorists of social movements have noted a diversity of visual and performative manifestations taking place in protest, while the fields of design, broadly defined, have been characterized by a growing interest in activism. The book's premise stems from the recognition that material engagement and artifacts have the capacity to articulate political arguments or establish positions of disagreement. Its contributors look at a wide array of material practices generated by both professional and nonprofessional design actors around the globe, exploring case studies that vary from street protests and encampments to design pedagogy and community-empowerment projects.For students and scholars of design studies, urbanism, visual culture, politics, and social movements, this book opens up new perspectives on design and its place iTrade Review"... lively and timely... the volume is a welcome addition to the growing literature on design and politics. It will interest researchers and teachers of design as well as social life, while also being accessible, at least in part, to a more practice-oriented readership."--Design and Culture"Design and Political Dissent is a far-reaching and ambitious book not only in its intellectual and geographical scope, but also in its diversity of topics and formats."--Journal of Design HistoryTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Inc Race Anthropology and Politics in the Work of
Book SynopsisThis book reinterprets Wifredo Lamâs work with particular attention to its political implications, focusing on how these implications emerge from the artistâs critical engagement with 20th-century anthropology. Field work conducted in Cuba, including the witnessing of actual Afro-Cuban religious ritual ceremonies and information collected from informants, enhances the interpretive background against which we can construe the meanings of Lam's art. In the process, Claude Cernuschi argues that Lam hoped to fashion a new hybrid style to foster pride and dignity in the Afro-Cuban community, as well as counteract the acute racism of Cuban culture.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter I: Picasso; Chapter II: Surrealism;Chapter III: Abstract Expressionism; Chapter IV: The Lévy-Bruhl/Lévi-Strauss Debate; Chapter V: Detotalization, Retotalization, and Atemporality; Chapter VI: Négritude; Chapter VII: Cuba

Taylor & Francis Ltd Lets Agree to Disagree
Book SynopsisIn an age defined by divisive discourse and disinformation, democracy hangs in the balance. Let's Agree to Disagree seeks to reverse these trends by fostering constructive dialogue through critical thinking and critical media literacy. This transformative text introduces readers to useful theories, powerful case studies, and easily adoptable strategies for becoming sharper critical thinkers, more effective communicators, and critically media literate citizens. Trade Review"I did not think we, as a society, could agree to disagree, which makes this book incredibly powerful - and incredibly needed in our divisive times. Higdon and Huff have provided both depth and breadth to multiple areas of our mediated world and in so doing have presented readers with a cogent and incredibly valuable text that will enable readers to learn about the mass media, themselves, and concrete ways to make change."Allison Butler, Senior Lecturer & Director of Undergraduate Advising, Director Media Literacy Certificate Program, Department of Communication, University of Massachusetts, Amherst"In the age of new and powerful tools of communication, democracy has become more fragile and vulnerable to attacks by right-wing forces. What is clear is that the tools of communication, culture, literacy and critical thinking are more crucial than ever in creating both informed citizens and maintaining a substantive democracy. Let’s Agree to Disagree is a brilliant and informative guide and analysis to the most defining features of what it means to create critically literate citizens, to enable how they might communicate constructively with each other, and what it means connect an informed public to critically engaged actions. Higdon and Huff provide a brilliant, crucial analysis of the dangers that democracy now faces; they provide an invaluable analysis of what it means to understand and engage the role of communication in fighting against the forces of civic illiteracy, and the role that citizens can play in engaging, understanding, and assessing how to think, engage, and act through an informed lens of critical thinking. Let’s Agree to Disagree is both a primer and an invaluable resource on misinformation, critical thinking, a disregard for the truth, and what is necessary to address the new and powerful forms of communication that now shape politics, power and mass consciousness. This is a book that should be read by anyone is believes that matters of literacy, truth, rationality, and civic courage are essential to fighting for a radical democracy."Henry Giroux, McMaster University Professor for Scholarship in the Public Interest, Paulo Freire Distinguished Scholar in Critical Pedagogy, at McMaster University "Let’s Agree to Disagree provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges, failures, and successes of communication and critical thinking for justice and democracy. Nolan Higdon and Mickey Huff have written an essential book for all educators because dialogue and critical reflection are the heart of progressive education. The better we learn to listen, question, and respond with compassion, empathy, and respect, the more likely we will build genuine relationships of caring and critical inquiry where authentic learning occurs and social justice thrives."

Taylor & Francis Ltd The State and New Cinema in Contemporary India
Book SynopsisThis book examines the relationship between the newly independent Indian state and its New Cinema movement. It looks at state formative practices articulating themselves as cultural policy. It presents an institutional history of the Film Finance Corporation (FFC), later the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), and their patronage of the New Cinema in India, from the 1960s to the 1990s, bringing into focus an extraordinary but neglected cultural moment in Indian film history and in the history of contemporary India.The chapters not only document the artistic pursuit of cinema, but also the emergence of a larger field where the market, political inclinations of the Indian state, and the more complex determinants of culture intersect how the New Cinema movement faced external challenges from the industrial lobby and politicians, as well as experienced deep rifts from within. It also shows how the Emergency, the Janata Party regime, economic liberalization, and the opeTrade Review“The author presents the story of a chronological development, not losing sight of the importance of facts and individual actors in the process even as she builds her argument on the relationship between policy, industry, and cultural production in independent India. The picture that emerges through the chapters is not only of cinema, or the artistic pursuit of cinema, but of a larger field where the market, political inclinations of the Indian state, and the more complex determinants of culture intersect. This is by far the most thorough study of the Indian New Cinema.” — Moinak Biswas, Professor & Head, Department of Film Studies, Coordinator, The Media Lab, Jadavpur University.“Dr. Tiwari takes a subject that looks dry as dust, the working of two government run film finance corporations but uses the material to illuminate the linkages to the New Cinema of the mid 1970s on. Even those familiar with many of the sensitive and well-crafted films of the time will be surprised by her findings. In the process, this book opens up new vistas in looking at films, the creative arts of storytelling and narrative at a critical stage of independent India’s journey from the days of the Emergency (1975-77) to the mid-1990s when the process of liberalisation gathered pace. Film finance as a mirror to society and much more than that: a fine monograph at debut.” — Mahesh Ranagarajan, Professor of History and Environmental Studies, Ashoka University, Haryana, India.“Dr. Tiwari has provided a fascinating institutional history of India’s New Cinema movement. The first book of its kind, it examines the Film Finance Corporation (FFC)/National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) over a period of 50 years. It brings together film history and cultural policy studies to reflect on an important Indian public and intellectual institution. In doing so, this becomes a fine collection of historical research, probing through varied archives and debates, offering us invaluable insights into the landscape of New Cinema across government, bureaucrats, financiers, film makers, technicians, film critics, and those who watched the films. Such original and accomplished scholarship is not only welcomed, it is to be celebrated too.” — Rajinder Dudrah, Professor of Cultural Studies and Creative Industries, Birmingham City University, UK.“This book is a rigorous, robust, and dexterously researched history of the most powerful film funding bureaucracy in postcolonial India - the National Film Development Corporation. Tiwari assiduously excavates numerous archives to meticulously show the intricate linkages and network between Indian postcolonial state, film industry, filmmakers, journalists, bureaucrats in the making of a complex landscape which gave birth to the influential Indian New Wave. This book adroitly sutures historiography and cultural studies to give us an astute insight hitherto unseen in the discipline of Indian film studies.” — Ashish Avikunthak, Professor of Film Media, University of Rhode Island.“Sudha Tiwari’s uniqueness is in straddling the difficult-to-access archival materials and the rare (cinema) journals of the period to shed light on the aspirations and critique of cinema surrounding NFDC as a state apparatus, dependent on public money and driven by the “progressive” posture/impulse of the people in power, as well as a space for the intricate intervention of cinema as a sociocultural art form where marginalized voices could be foregrounded. Sudha’s meticulously researched and compelling book sheds light on the challenges of writing institutional histories in the Indian context and the creative possibilities inherent in filling up the lacuna in the material domain through alternative means.” — Swarnavel Eswaran, Associate Professor, Dept. of English and the School of Journalism, Michigan State University.“A textured, penetrating and streamlined study of an important stage in the evolutionary transformation of the FFC into the NFDC, providing a revealing insight into the NFDC’s synergies with the new emerging Indian postcolonial film landscape.” — Ashvin Devasundaram, Senior Lecturer in World Cinema, School of Languages, Linguistics & Film, Queen Mary University of London.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The International Politics of Logos
Book SynopsisThe International Politics of Logos provides the first systematic analysis of logos and the role they play in international politics.Whilst there is growing scholarly interest in visual politics, logos have largely remained hidden in plain sight despite being the most important symbol of a variety of organizations. Visual artefacts, such as logos, play an increasingly central role in politics. Candidates running for office carefully choose the images they share on social media, political parties devise effective brands, and NGOs use visual artefacts for advocacy and advertisement. Visual artefacts are also vital for violent non-state actors, ranging from private military and security companies (PMSCs) to terrorists. This book provides a wealth of data on the logos chosen by a variety of organizations, examining how they vary between actors, across types of organizations, and over time.

Along with this increasing anger, fear, and frustration, much confusion still prevails on the appropriate communication practices for responding to difficult situations and improving our lives. Communication experts Robert Danisch and William Keith explain why and how we can practice radical civility in this practical guide to everyday political communication.This guide begins with examples of radical civility to show the potential of this kind of communication to change minds and bridge differences. The authors then unpack the three foundational principles of radical civility as useful theoretical tools for thinking throughout interactions with others in civic spaces.

Taylor & Francis Pseudology
Book SynopsisIn an age where fake news, conspiracy theories, and outright lies by political and cultural leaders are commonplace, we may be becoming accustomed to lying, or worse, even immune to it. Pseudology unravels the reasons for this by describing a science of lying that looks at various aspects of this trait, from how it affects the brain to how it distorts perception.Interest in lying goes back to antiquity and writing and debate has only increased in the present day, but what is missing is a treatment that synthesizes the work from linguists, political scientists, anthropologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and sociologists, tying them to the philosophical and literary views of lying throughout history. Such a treatment can be called pseudology: an interdisciplinary science for classifying, collating, and assessing ideas about lying. This book is a comprehensive treatment of pseudology, emphasising the importance of studying lying in our current climate.

Taylor & Francis Race and Ethnicity as Foundational Forces in Political Communication
Book SynopsisRace and ethnicity are increasingly central to our lived experiences of politics, yet they are often absent from studies of urgent questions in contemporary political communication. This volume responds to this crucial issue in the field, illuminating a multitude of ways that identity and power shape the interpersonal, mediated, and technological dimensions of politics. The book empirically illustrates the lack of race-focused scholarship in this area, while demonstrating how studying race/ethnicity as endogenous to politics sheds new light on the âœbig questionsâ facing multiracial, multiethnic societies.Contributions address both heavily studied topics (e.g., misinformation, political trust) as well as topics that emerge through a centering of race/ethnicity (e.g., Hispandering, politically relevant entertainment media). They do so through diverse methodologies (e.g., ethnography, computational text analysis) and communities (e.g., Black & Hispanic Americans, the Vietnamese

Taylor & Francis Investigative Journalism Democracy and the
Book SynopsisTheoretically grounded and using quantitative data spanning more than 50 years together with qualitative research, this book examines investigative journalismâs role in liberal democracies in the past and in the digital age. In its ideal form, investigative reporting provides a check on power in society and therefore can strengthen democratic accountability. The capacity is important to address now because the political and economic environment for journalism has changed substantially in recent decades. In particular, the commercialization of the Internet has disrupted the business model of traditional media outlets and the ways news content is gathered and disseminated. Despite these disruptions, this bookâs central aim is to demonstrate using empirical research that investigative journalism is not in fact in decline in developed economies, as is often feared.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook of Primary Elections
Book SynopsisPrimary elections have been used for the past century for most U.S. elective offices and their popularity is growing in other nations as well. In some circumstances, primaries ensure that citizens have a say in elections and test the skills of candidates before they get to the general election. Yet primaries are often criticized for increasing the cost of elections, for producing ideologically extreme candidates, and for denying voters the opportunity to choose candidates whose appeal transcends partisanship. Few such arguments have, however, been rigorously tested. This innovative Handbook evaluates many of the claims, positive and negative, that have been made about primaries. It is organized into six sections, covering the origins of primary elections; primary voters; US presidential primaries; US subpresidential primaries; primaries in other parts of the world; and reform proposals. The Routledge Handbook of Primary Elections is an important research tool foTrade Review'With partisan polarization rising, political parties beset by factions, and a complete outsider gaining a major-party nomination for president, the workings of primary elections are back in the news – and on research agendas. Boatright has assembled a distinguished set of scholars to take us through the experience of the past, the issues of the present, and the options for the future. The Routledge Handbook of Primary Elections is bound to be an essential guide as we work to understand the way "democracy," in selecting party nominees, ramifies through elections and government.' – John Mark Hansen, University of Chicago'Primary elections have not received the robust scholarly attention they merit due to their importance in picking political leadership in the US and abroad. The Routledge Handbook of Primary Elections, edited by Robert Boatright, addresses this critical gap. A group of outstanding scholars cover a broad range of topics in a manner that is both lucid for students and insightful for scholars. Boatright’s volume sets the table for scholarship on primaries over the next decade.' - Ray La Raja, Professor of Political Science, U Mass Amherst'There are few topics in U.S. politics more important to study than the dynamics of primary elections. Yet political scientists have largely dropped the ball in illuminating the dynamics of this unique and critical feature of the American electoral system. That is, until now. With this volume, Robert Boatright, the foremost authority on U.S. primary elections, has assembled an impressive group of scholars to provide a comprehensive treatment of this underexplored terrain of American politics. Any one who cares about the forces shaping the contemporary political environment will want to read this book and will benefit from doing so.' - Nate Persily, James B.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Witch Hunt The Story of the Greatest Mass
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Democrats and the media continue to just lie through their teeth. What we’ve lived through— are still living through—has been a coup from the get-go. It is a plot to overthrow President Trump. There are so few people telling the whole truth about this; Gregg Jarrett is.” — Rush Limbaugh “Gregg Jarrett has done it again by writing a superb follow-up book to his number one bestseller, The Russia Hoax. His stunning account of how unelected officials plotted in the shadows to influence an election, sabotage a duly elected president, and drive him from office should alarm all Americans.” — Sean Hannity “If for no other reason, one should read Gregg Jarrett’s new book, Witch Hunt, for its excellent and penetrating analysis of the Mueller Report. In-depth and comprehensive, Jarrett’s breakdown unmasks the false narrative still being peddled by Democrats and the media.” — Joseph DiGenova, Former Independent Counsel and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia “Witch Hunt is both a riveting account of abuse of authority and a reminder of just how fragile our democracy can be. Jarrett thoroughly and convincingly paints a scary picture of officials at the highest levels of our federal government breaching the trust of the people in an attempt to undermine Trump’s presidency and remove him from office.” — Jon A. Sale, Criminal Defense Attorney and Former Assistant Watergate Prosecutor “Witch Hunt is a spectacular compendium….an encyclopedia of what went on in the biggest hoax and scandal in American history. I highly recommend it; it is an awesome book.” — Dan Bongino “When this moment in history finally passes, history will have Gregg Jarrett’s Witch Hunt to remind — on the record — of what really happened and who, really, was responsible for this disgrace.” — American Spectator

HarperCollins Publishers Inc To Rescue the Republic
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Bret Baier’s To Rescue the Republic is narrative history at its absolute finest. With great verve and a fair-and-balanced ethic, Baier brilliantly recounts the heroic life of Ulysses S. Grant—as Civil War general, U.S. President, Reconstruction Era leader and beloved national icon. His dramatic retelling of the election of 1876 which pitted Samuel J. Tilden against Rutherford B. Hayes is stupendous. A fast-paced, thrilling and enormously important book. Highly recommended.” — Douglas Brinkley, Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and Professor of History at Rice University and author of American Moonshot “With To Rescue The Republic, Bret Baier, the nation’s leading reporter of history, has written a veritable tour de force. This remarkable book is history as it should be: magnificently composed, meticulously researched, and brimming with lessons for today's divided political arena. Baier has brought to life the riveting but too often forgotten story of how US Grant preserved the Republic at one of its moments of greatest peril. This is not just a tale for our age, but an absorbing tale for the ages. It belongs on the bookshelf of every lover of history.” — Jay Winik, New York Times bestselling author of April 1865 and 1944 “Yes, history can help light the way. Bret Baier’s absorbing book shows us why Ulysses Grant was a far more important President than later generations gave him credit for, and how the crises of civil war, Reconstruction and the deadlock of 1876 resembled the turbulent period we are living through.” — Michael Beschloss, author of Presidents of War “A thoroughly researched account of the Civil War general’s life and work. Baier grippingly portrays the crisis Grant faced at the end of his presidency, when the election produced no clear successor, and the painful compromise that settled it—a historical moment ripe for examination today.” — New York Post “Until recently, historians have tended to focus on the rampant corruption that took place during the administration of Ulysses S. Grant. … Baier (Three Days at the Brink, 2020) surveys Grant’s life from his Midwestern origins through his undistinguished West Point education, his military successes leading Union forces, and his 1868 elevation to the Presidency. … Baier finds parallels to contemporary politics in this, which makes his account all the more compelling.” — Booklist “Throughout history, great men have stepped forward at just the right moment to save America at its most critical times. In To Rescue the Republic, Bret Baier brilliantly chronicles how Ulysses S. Grant was that great man multiple times. Perhaps you think you know the story, but Bret brings you back to the 1870s in a way I didn’t think possible. A must read!” — Brian Kilmeade, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Bret Baier once again brings his wonderful journalistic storytelling skills to the task of examining a significant moment in American history. To Rescue the Republic is the richly detailed and often suspenseful story of Ulysses S. Grant, our 18th president. In particular Bret focuses on those dramatic moments when Grant rescues the Republic—first during the Civil War, then making the peace after the war, and finally in the bitterly contested election of 1876, when he devised a grand bargain to save the presidency and the nation. The parallels with modern times are striking, and the lessons Bret raises are worth serious attention: the future of the Republic isn’t a given. We must fight for it in every era.” — Mark Levin, #1 New York Times bestselling author “A brilliant character study of a great American. In To Rescue the Republic, Bret Baier brings Ulysses S. Grant—war hero, president, and author—to life in a vivid, gripping style that speaks to the issues of our time." — James L. Swanson, New York Times bestselling author of Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer "As the United States suffers through turbulent times, news anchor Bret Baier reaches back to earlier years of heroism when the nation, then and now, experienced an earlier examples of woe. This is a book which, when carefully read, provides insight into a difficult era." — John F. Marzalek, Executive Director, Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library “Bret Baier has provided a valuable public service by showing why Ulysses S. Grant deserves much more public acclaim for his presidential years than Grant has traditionally been given. If you enjoy reading about American history, you will love Bret Baier’s fresh look at the man most responsible for the outcome of the Civil War and the peaceful resolution of the contested presidential election of 1876. I highly recommend this book on one of America’s most important leaders.” — David Rubenstein, The David Rubenstein Show "In To Rescue the Republic, Bret Baier combines the journalist's instinct for timeliness and a great story with the historian's ability to document and chronicle in ways that stand the test of time. To Rescue the Republic doubles as a political and military portrait of U.S. Grant and as a definitive account of Grant's ability to broker a settlement of the contentious election of 1876. This success marked the culmination of Grant's efforts as general and president to win and end the American civil war. A key message of this book-- in this time of discord and racial conflict-- is that the American republic is a land of opportunity. Talent rises to the top. And because of this, no problem confronting Americans is ultimately is beyond resolution. This book is as inspiring as it is readable, and it is easily my favorite book of 2021." — David Eisenhower, Director, Institute of Public Service, Annenberg School, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Eisenhower: At War "A terrific account of the famous Civil War general turned 18th president. ... Bret Baier has done it again, producing another presidential history that will last as long as there are presidential history books." — American Spectator "Baier succeeds in humanizing Grant and clarifying the complex factors behind his decision-making. This is an accessible and nuanced introduction to an oft-misunderstood figure American history." — Publishers Weekly
