Taylor & Francis Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist
Book SynopsisJews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination explores how Jews and Muslims are stigmatized and endangered by the same conspiratorial template.Supremacists imagine that Jews and Muslims secretly strive to replace white, European civilization with an unspeakable tyranny. The authors, a Jew and a Muslim, analyze the nature of the conspiracism that targets their communities. They historicize the supremacist conspiratorial imagination, narrating the paranoia on a continuum, from modernity to the postmodern. They begin with the texts of modernity, following them through to the dark areas of the Internet and examining their violent denouement in synagogues and mosques. The book investigates the classic text The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and neoclassic variations such as QAnon. It turns to Islamophobic responses to 9/11 such as paranoia regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and the doppelgÃnger of The Protocols, namely The Project

Taylor & Francis Ltd Asexuality and FreudianLacanian Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisAsexuality and Freudian-Lacanian Psychoanalysis: Towards a Theory of an Enigma proposes that asexuality is a libidinally founded desire for no sexual desire, a concept not included in psychoanalytic theory up to now. Asexuality is defined as the experience of having no sexual attraction for another person; as an emerging self-defined sexual orientation, it has received practically no attention from psychoanalytic research. This book is the first sustained piece of exploratory and theoretical research from a Freudian-Lacanian perspective. Using Freudian concepts to understand the intricacies of human sexual desire, this volume will also employ Lacanian conceptual tools to understand how asexuality might sustain itself despite the absence of Other-directed sexual desire. This book argues that asexuality holds a mirror to contemporary sexualized society which assumes sexual attraction and eroticism as the benchmarks for experiencing sexual desire. It alsoTrade Review'In this richly researched work, Murphy draws on the libido theory of Freud and Lacan to give a compelling psychoanalytic account of what has come to be known as asexuality. As a recently recognised phenomenon, asexuality remains profoundly under-theorised. This book, written from the perspective of psychoanalysis, opens a new chapter in thinking about what Murphy rightly calls an enigma.'Russell Grigg, psychoanalyst, member of the New Lacanian School, Melbourne Australia'The usual view is that Freud’s "pansexualism" implies that all human behaviour is sexually motivated. Lacan questioned this when he stated "there is no sexual relation." In this important and timely book, Murphy goes even further. Starting from the undisputed evidence that there are asexual minorities in most cultures, he explores how the absence of sexual attraction can be non-pathological, demonstrating that such an exception proves that sexuality is not a rule. This brave investigation of a different desire makes us reconsider relationships, intimacy, and sexual identities.'Patricia Gherovici, psychoanalyst and author of 'Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference' (Routledge, 2017)Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Geographies
Book SynopsisSocial Geographies: The Basics introduces what social geography is, and what it might be. It outlines the key contours of social geographies, and also disrupts some of the conventions of the discipline in both its content and structure.This book approaches social geographies by beginning with the resistances, contestations and solutions' that communities use to challenge exclusions in place and space in order to create equitable societies. It then addresses the inequalities, precarities, and problems' that prompt these interventions. This allows the book to emphasise the importance of activism in the here and now, and to show how activism often makes issues visible and contested in ways that are then theorised by academics. Social Geographies starts with solidarities, communities, and networks before moving to examine difference, precarity, and mobilities. Each chapter offers key case studies that centre resistance, contestations of inequitable power, and local

Taylor & Francis Ltd Voluntary Consent
Book SynopsisVoluntariness is a necessary condition of valid consent. But determining whether a person consented voluntarily can be difficult, especially when people are subjected to coercion or manipulation, placed in a situation with no acceptable alternative other than to consent to something, or find themselves in an abusive relationship.This book presents a novel view on the voluntariness of consent, especially medical consent, which the author calls Interpersonal Consenter-Consentee Justification (ICCJ). According to this view, consent is voluntary if and only if the process by which it has been obtained aligns with specific principles of interpersonal justification. ICCJ is distinctive because it explains voluntary consent neither as a psychological' concept indicative of the inner states of a person's mind (e.g. willingness or reluctance) nor as a circumstantial' concept indicative of a person's set of options. Rather, ICCJ explains the voluntariness of consent as an interpersonalTrade Review"This book is extremely impressive. It presents a new and original approach to the issue of the role of voluntariness in valid consent, one emerging from and informed by a thorough knowledge of the extensive literature in the field and in a wide array of different debates. The presentation is very well organized, and the overall strategy is powerfully and clearly articulated. At the same time, it contains a remarkable number of fruitful and suggestive arguments."Roger Crisp, St Anne's College, University of Oxford, UK"Kiener proposes a radical, novel account of when consent is voluntary, namely that consent is voluntary by default and only becomes involuntary when motivated by influences that cannot be interpersonally justified. His account has striking implications for organ donation, payment in clinical trials and nudging, and also extends to sexual relations. The most significant and original contribution to consent in the last 20 years."Julian Savulescu, National University of SingaporeTable of ContentsPart 1: A Novel Account of Voluntary Consent 1.

Taylor & Francis Women in New Nepal
Book SynopsisThis book brings rarely voiced lives and experiences of women in Nepal to light and combines rich ethnography with discourse analysis. Multifaceted and critical, the volume situates its narrative in the profoundly transformative period after the turn of the century when âNew Nepalâ was rising on the horizon and sheds light on Nepali womenâs experiences in multiple sites, crossing class and ethnic lines. It is based on extensive fieldwork among women domestic workers, construction workers, street vendors, women from the indigenous community of Hyolmo, and others. Mainly through an ethnographic approach, the author explores Nepali womenâs experiences on the ground, mostly situated in classed, ethnic, or other socio-cultural peripheries in Nepali social landscape.Through the unusually intimate narrative on these women from the global south, who are still prone to be cast into a deeply colonial, simplistic image of âvictimized womenâ, readers will get a nuanced perspective of the

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Paradox of Planetary Human Entanglements
Book SynopsisThe Paradox of Planetary Human Entanglements provides a nuanced understanding of the complexity of planetary human entanglements in this age of increased borderisation and territorialisation, racism and xenophobia, and inclusion and exclusion.One of the greatest paradoxes of the 21st century is that of increased planetary human entanglements enabled by globalisation on the one hand and by the rising tide of exclusionary right-wing politics of racism, xenophobia, and the building of walled states on the other. The characteristic feature of this paradox is the unrestrained move towards the detention and incarceration of those who attempt to migrate. This brings to the fore the issue of borders in terms of their materiality and symbolism and how this mediates belonging, citizenship, and the ethics (or lack thereof) and politics of living together. This book shows that at the core of border and migration restrictions is the desire to exclude certain categories of people,Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe Anthropology of Digital Practices connects for the first time three distinct research areas digital ethnography, causal ethnography, and media practice theory to explore how we might track the effects of new media practices in a digital world.

Taylor & Francis Studying Religion and Disability
Book SynopsisStudying Religion and Disability introduces students to the many compelling and influential intersections between religion and disability. The early chapters offer introductions to the two fieldsâdefining key terms and definitions, tracing their origins and evolutions, while also demonstrating some of the biases and baggage they bring. The organization of the later chapters is inspired by the formal, phenomenological, or âœresemblanceâ approach to understanding religion, exposing students to different dimensions that all religions seem to have in common, such as practices or places, regardless of their specific content.Featuring examples from a variety of religions, this book considers how these religions have intersected with a variety of disabilities, across space and time. This book provokes thought and discussion around important questions, including how different disabilities are perceived, represented, and constructed in different dimensions of religion; how and why people with disabilities engage with religion; potential or documented barriers that religions present to disabled people; and opportunities and insights that result when each is viewed through the lens of the other. It will be essential reading for all students of Religion and Disability.

Taylor & Francis Elements of Moral Experience in Clinical Ethics
Book SynopsisElements of Moral Experience in Clinical Ethics Training and Practice is a philosophical and professional memoir of the education, training and development of becoming a clinical ethics consultant. Trade ReviewElements of Moral Experience in Clinical Ethics Training and Practice: Sharing Stories with Strangers will be a significant and important contribution to the practice of clinical ethics consultation. Rather than merely tell readers what is relevant, Virginia Bartlett has invited them to engage with both the common and unique in clinical experiences. Professor Bartlett’s tolerance for the discomforts of taking a clear-eyed look creates this accessibility. With that careful eye and a generous voice, she provides opportunities for a reader to make their own assessment about the ways these stories match up with real life experiences in health care. Not only will the reader learn about the evident and the more subtle ways that a person working as an ethics consultant encounters people, questions, standpoints, even values, and so on, they will also learn about what actually happens in our very human experience of health care.- Mark J. Bliton, PhD, Director of Medical Bioethics at Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. He is Editor, with Stuart G. Finder, PhD, of Peer Review, Peer Education, and Modeling in the Practice of Clinical Ethics Consultation: The Zadeh Project, Springer 2018."In this highly engaging and original work, Bartlett uses herself as an example to offer a deeply personal and realistic sense of what it actually is like to do ethics consultation, including the intellectual, emotional, and even physical experiences involved. In so doing, she exquisitely illuminates how clinical ethics practice is itself a kind of moral undergoing – one that entails far more than mastering and applying knowledge or rote skills."- Stuart G. Finder, Ph.D., Director, Center for Healthcare Ethics, Cedars-Sinai"In Elements of Moral Experience in Clinical Ethics Training and Practice, Dr. Bartlett shows practitioners of clinical ethics – and practitioners of being human - how to acknowledge their responsibility through the collective recollection of stories that help make sense of what it means to care for one another."- Joseph B. Fanning, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Associate Director, Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt University"This book offers a unique, genre-bending text that would be useful to trainees, graduate students, instructors, and preceptors. There is a deficit of clinical ethics literature focused on the experience, to use the author’s own words, of “doing ethics.” The author’s use of stories from her training and career intermingled with reflection and theory is an innovative way to help students and trainees early in their career better understand the work of clinical ethics."Stephanie Larson, Lecturer in the Department of English at Case Western UniversityTable of ContentsIntroductionPart 1: Elements of DiscoveryChapter 1: Seminar in StrangenessChapter 2: Clinical Attention as Surrender-and-CatchInterlude 1: Methods of Unknowing: Disruption and AttentionPart 2: Elements of LearningChapter 3: Self Reflection and Self Education in Clinical EthicsChapter 4: Affiliation and Attunement and Extra-Ordinary DiscourseInterlude 2: Methods for Learning with OthersPart 3: Elements of ExperienceChapter 5: Constituent Vulnerability, Constituent ResponsibilityChapter 6: Clinical Storytelling and Fragments of ExperienceContinuing When There is No Ending

Taylor & Francis The Political Economy of Plea Bargaining

Taylor & Francis Introducing Sociology Using the Stuff of Everyday Life
Book SynopsisThe challenges of teaching a successful introductory sociology course today demand materials from a publisher very different from the norm. Texts that are organized the way the discipline structures itself intellectually no longer connect with the majority of student learners. This is not an issue of pandering to students or otherwise seeking the lowest common denominator. On the contrary, it is a question of again making the practice of sociological thinking meaningful, rigorous, and relevant to todayâs world of undergraduates.This comparatively concise, highly visual, and affordable book offers a refreshingly new way forward to reach students, using one of the most powerful tools in a sociologistâs teaching arsenalâthe familiar stuff in studentsâ everyday lives throughout the world: the jeans they wear to class, the coffee they drink each morning, or the phones their professors tell them to put away during lectures.A focus on consumer culture, seeing

Taylor & Francis MoreThanHuman Diasporas
Book SynopsisPuglieseâs MoreâThanâHuman Diasporas breaks the confines of existing scholarship in its vision of the way that moreâthanâhuman diasporic entitiesâsuch as water, trees, clay, stone and architectural stylesâhave functioned as agents within the context of empire, settler colonialism and a largely effaced history of Mediterranean enslavement, a history that preâexisted and then coincided with the Atlantic slave trade. This book traces, for example, the diasporic travels of the eucalyptus from Indigenous Country to Joseph Banksâ botanical collection in London and then onto a grand Englishâstyle garden in Southern Italy which was built on the historically effaced labour of enslaved people.By deploying techniques of historical recovery, this book brings to light otherwise buried histories, thereby demonstrating the pivotal role of Mediterranean enslavement in the shaping of Italian society and culture.

Taylor & Francis A Popular Criminology of Youth Justice
Book SynopsisAnalysing the representation of youth crime and justice-involved children in popular fictional films, this book explores how what we see on screen contributes to the perceptions of youth justice in society, policy, and practice.Putting forward the argument that fictional representations have a real-world impact on the opportunities available to children, each chapter in the book focuses on a different genre or type of film and considers the ways in which justice-involved children have been demonised, stereotyped, and harmed by their portrayal on the big screen. From James Dean and the birth of âœmonstrous youthâ in Rebel Without A Cause to the current, more nuanced portrayals as seen in The Young Offenders, the book examines films throughout history and across different cultures. In doing so, it demonstrates how portrayals of justice-involved children have contributed to the social understanding of what youth crime is and who is to blame for it, and highlights how we can use this knowledge to better understand and support children.By combining youth justice theory with media analysis, A Popular Criminology of Youth Justice: Youth on Film makes a novel contribution to both fields and will be of great interest to students and researchers in the areas of youth crime, youth justice, and the media.

Taylor & Francis Ltd General Economic History
Book SynopsisSociologist, historian and political economist, Max Weber is one of the most important thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His astonishing range and penetrating insights resulted in many influential books spanning religion, society, politics, and economics, permanently affecting the direction of the social sciences.General Economic History, published in 1923 (three years after Weber''s death) and compiled from meticulous notes taken by his students, ranks as one of his most important books. It is a landmark work in economic history. From early forms of exchange in pre-capitalist households and villages, through industry and the beginnings of commerce, to the evolution of trade and money, Weber tells the epic story of the development of Western capitalism. At its heart, he argues, capitalism is driven by two immensely powerful forces: the basic, material needs that human beings seek to fulfil; and the fundamental but intangible spirit that sets capitalTable of ContentsIntroduction to the Routledge Classics Edition Keith Tribe Conceptual Preface Part 1: Household, Clan, Village and Manor 1.

Book SynopsisConsuming the Environment explores the environmental impacts of consuming everyday products and explains how we can consume more sustainably.Written in an accessible style, this book begins with our everyday mundane experiences of consuming products online, in the grocery store, at the mall and shows how these practices are connected to a global system dependent upon ever increasing consumption.

Taylor & Francis A Forensic Approach to Political and State
Book SynopsisA Forensic Approach to Political and State Violence applies a forensic lens to the study of risk in relation to political and state violence.Divided into three parts, the book outlines the nature and function of political and state violence and the historic development of contributions from forensic practice. It then considers the distinction between political and state violence and the foundations for this. This is followed by a review of developments of current research and practice looking at future development and the ways in which forensic practice might more effectively contribute to risk reduction and management. The text will argue that the basis of much current forensic practice, in relation to political and state violence, is unduly limited and has failed to integrate relevant scientific research into practice. The role of market led approaches to work in these areas will also be considered, in relation to the way this has influenced and distorted practice and delayed progress. Drawing on theories derived from psychology and other areas of research, the book considers how evidence might inform improvements, using the risks and uncertainties that surround politically motivated violence to illustrate this. Real cases of political and state violence are considered, with topics including military conflict, terrorism, use of torture and hostage taking to highlight current failings and weaknesses. It also explores barriers to implementing better forensic practice in terms of both professional, economic and policy interests.It will be an essential read for all students or practitioners in the areas of forensic psychology, criminal justice, or violence risk management.

Taylor & Francis Critical Health and Learning Disabilities
Book SynopsisThis empirically grounded book presents a critical, interdisciplinary perspective on social and cultural issues related to the health and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities. Through an exploration of healthcare, love and intimacy, pregnancy and childbirth, housing, employment, and food the book highlights the enduringly impoverished lives and premature deaths people labelled with learning disabilities experience globally and suggests that such structural violence amounts to social murder.Through the lens of critical disability studies, the book links the debates around learning disabilities to the larger framework of deinstitutionalisation. It takes a closer look at the label âœlearning disabilityâ, which remains associated with stigma and shame, and advances comprehension of how and why it is that the lives of this group of people are systematically constrained and shortened. The book further identifies recommendations that can be utilised for challenging and changing these circumstances.It is essential reading for those involved in social and cultural issues related to the lives of people with learning disabilities, and also beneficial for advanced students in sociology, anthropology, psychology, allied health sciences, and other related disciplines. It will also be valuable for researchers and health and social care professionals seeking critical insights about their work.

Taylor & Francis Urban Life in Delhi Slums
Book SynopsisThis book investigates urban life in the slums of Delhi, demonstrating how individuals and communities self-organize to solve problems that arise in their neighbourhoods.Around one-quarter of the worldâs urban population live in informal, slum and squatter settlements, representing a significant economic and cultural force. Despite this, settlements are often perceived as marginal, homogenous places, overlooking the resilience and agency of the diverse actors, networks and social groups working collectively within them. This book draws on extensive qualitative and quantitative data from squatter and resettlement colonies in and around Delhi, foregrounding the voices of residents to build a bottom-up picture of place and urban development. The book analyses the contexts in which households operate within their communities, and the adaptiveness of individuals living in different slum types, with differing levels of governance. In doing so, the book demonstrates the effect which different institutional agreements and governance systems have on enterprise, empowerment, resilience, trust, dignity, and engaging in life that has purpose and meaning.This bookâs detailed assessment of slum spaces and networks will be of interest to researchers across a range of fields, including international development, geography, urban planning, politics, and sociology, as well as to policy makers and civil society organisations.

Taylor & Francis Identity Social Class and Learning in the
Book SynopsisThe common practice of ability-grouped reading in UK schools, often termed guided reading, influences childrenâs sense of identity, feelings and progress as readers. Drawing on a rich ethnographic study of three primary classrooms, this book reopens a critical inquiry into ability-grouped reading that has been quiet since the 1990s, when guided reading in literacy education became established practice in the UK and the US.Through the lens of childrenâs agency in accommodating, resisting and at times transforming such reading pedagogy, the book shows how readers are shaped by ability-grouped reading and by the more egalitarian reading pedagogies introduced in the study. Childrenâs individual and collective experiences are brought to life through extended narratives that attend as closely to gesture, posture, visage, silences and prosody of speech as to spoken words.The book ends with a provocation: how literacy pedagogy might change if reflexive noticing and dism

Taylor & Francis Responses to 7 October Universities
Book SynopsisOne of three volumes responding to the 7 October attack, Universities focuses on the heartland of contemporary antisemitic thinking, which is scholarship; and its reflection in student discourse on campus.Contributions go back to Sartre and to debates of Marxâs time; another looks at the New Left forged in the civil rights movement, and shows how antisemitic responses to the 2023 violence were anticipated by some of the responses to the 1967 Arab League aggression. The feminist movement and âprogressivesâ more generally come under scrutiny, and there is analysis of antisemitism on campus after 7 October, showing how it is tolerated and protected there; including in archaeological attempts to deny that there is an ancient Jewish history in Israel.This work will appeal to scholars, students and activists with an interest in antisemitism, Jewish studies and the politics of Israel.

The book outlines how to cultivate disciplined and systematic scholarship on complex topics while critiquing the âwonkyâ practices that often pervade modern academia. Part One advocates for a more scientific approach to social science, offering guiding principles for scholars striving to understand social life. Part Two deepens and complicates these arguments by examining the philosophical foundations of social science, focusing specifically on the âin-betweenâ aspects of the human condition and our social nature. The writing and thinking in the book are distinctive, passionate and brave.This book is a compelling read for advanced students, early career researchers, and any academic seeking to develop a more liberated, inventive approach to methods.

Taylor & Francis Gramsci and the Southern Question
Book SynopsisThis book looks at the Southern question in Antonio Gramsci. It takes this as an opportunity to reflect on the special nature of his thought, linked to the concepts of hegemony, subalternity and the critique of the particular culturalidentitarian and ideological forms of the South and its historical development.Although the category was originally applied to the politics and history of Italy, the debates on the Southern question have in recent times gained wider relevance, combining with todayâs more general analyses relating, for example, to European geopolitics, globalisation and the various global Souths, to media and mass culture, etc. In other areas, the Southern question in Gramsci has taken the form of a materialist epistemology, connected to the historical phenomenon of the splitting of consciousness, as opposed to its unity on a theoretical level. Elsewhere, it has become a programme for the application of a strategy of the international left, based on the building o
