Fearmongering in Greek and Roman Literature and Beyond
by Priscilla Gontijo Leite and Ian WorthingtonThis volume provides, for the first time, a focused study of scare tactics and fearmongering in a broad range of Greek and Roman authors and genres, showing how alarmist tactics were used in both antiquity and today. Scare tactic rhetoric is a timely topic; fear in current politics can justify actions and decisions and be used to control what is debated in the public arena, with the truth often shaped and even removed from what was being said. The ancient world was no different. In this volume, an international selection of scholars discusses how and why alarmist tactics were used in a variety of genres in Greco-Roman literature, including oratory, historiography, drama, philosophy, and children’s stories, to convey political messages and ideas. They also draw parallels between ancient and contemporary fear.Fearmongering in Greek and Roman Literature and Beyond is suitable for students and scholars in Classics and Ancient History, Rhetoric and Rhetorical Theory, Ancient Societies and Politics, as well as those operating in adjacent fields of study, along with the general reader interested in the ancient world, psychology, politics, and the exploitation of rhetoric.
Feminist Art Education Archival Research: C.H.U.T.N.E.Y. Power
by Karen Keifer-Boyd Linda Hoeptner PolingFeminist Art Education Archival Research: C.H.U.T.N.E.Y. Power explores the National Art Education Association’s (NAEA) Women’s Caucus’ histories of trailblazing feminist art education research, leadership, and policy activism.From archival research, specifically delving into the NAEA Women’s Caucus Archive at The Pennsylvania State University, this led to interviews with feminist activists in art education. The book draws attention to the activism of the NAEA Women’s Caucus contextualized within tenets of critical race feminism, which calls for organizational accountability from critical examination of hegemonic structures and practices that privilege white patriarchal colonialism and serves as a structure to deconstruct, interrogate, disrupt, and reimagine inequities that exist in art education, and all of education.Feminist Art Education Archival Research: C.H.U.T.N.E.Y. Power is a unique text ideal for feminist organizations, gender studies research, and art educators at all levels of teaching from preK to higher education, and is an ideal companion text for post-secondary art education, women’s studies, leadership, and other related areas.
Feminist Climate Policy in Industrialised States: A Gender-Just Climate Emergency Response (Routledge Studies in Gender and Environments)
by Karen Morrow Martin Hultman Gunnhildur Lily MagnusdottirFeminist Climate Policy in Industrialised States explores ways in which policymakers can overcome institutional barriers and conventions in pursuit of the radical changes necessary for a gender-just climate emergency response.In 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change acknowledged that addressing the climate emergency must involve social justice and equality. Feminist approaches to decision-making, policy-making, community organising and their underpinning methodologies can enable this. The authors draw critically on case studies, research and interviews with feminist practitioners, legislators and leaders who have implemented significant changes, to signal how change might be achieved and ask what lessons can be drawn. The book posits that we need to ultimately move beyond the gender mainstreaming and gender equality issues which have been integrated into existing – and failing – structures, to more transformative feminist approaches. It concludes by identifying key strands of feminist-oriented praxis that offer the potential to expedite responses to climate change across multiple levels of governance.With industrialised states shifting rightwards to a politics which diminishes the importance and urgency of gender equality, diversity, human rights and the need for climate action, this volume will inspire, guide, and provide tools for policymakers, politicians, community activists, academics, and students to take transformative action to address the climate emergency.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
Feminist Language and Discourse in the British Suffrage Press: Words as Deeds
by Martina GuzzettiFeminist Language and Discourse in the British Suffrage Press: Words as Deeds offers a comprehensive exploration of feminist discourse, focusing on the dynamic and evolving concept of gender within the context of British suffrage periodicals from 1907 to 1914.Though its motto was ‘deeds, not words’, the movement for British women’s enfranchisement exploited the press to convey its message and aid the campaign. Adopting a (socio)linguistic perspective and a discourse analysis methodology, the book focuses on the theme of gender and on the development of feminist counter-language and counter-discourses using articles taken from the three major suffrage publications: Votes for Women, The Vote, and Common Cause. Through a combination of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, the study of the interplay of language, representation, gender, and power provides insights into how these publications challenged and reshaped societal norms, with a specific focus on the case of medical misogyny.Feminist Language and Discourse in the British Suffrage Press: Words as Deeds challenges traditional views of suffrage activities, and is of value to researchers in fields such as feminist studies, language and gender studies, and periodical studies.
Feminist and Anti-caste Activism in the Bodhgaya Land Movement of Rural Bihar: “We Achieved Great Feats!”
by Indulata PrasadFeminist and Anti-caste Activism in the Bodhgaya Land Movement of Rural Bihar examines the long-term social, spatial, and material impacts of the Bodhgaya Land Movement (BGLM) of the 1970s and 1980s on its participants and beneficiaries. This book presents an ethnography and oral history of radical feminist and anti-caste activism based on interviews with the urban, educated Vahini activists who instigated the movement and oral narratives of the rural Bhuiyan Dalit women and men who led the protests. It also analyses the maps drawn by formerly enslaved Dalit laborers to document the social changes that resulted, as well as those that failed to materialize, from the land movement. In doing so, this book theorizes the multiple oppressions and forms of resistance with which these activists engaged to bring forth their rich experiences and analyses of social conditions in Bihar. By centering caste and gender within its examination of the social movement, this book makes multiple contributions to feminist scholarship that will be of use to social scientists and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Gender Studies, Asian Studies and other interdisciplinary fields.

Fichte’s Aesthetic of Striving: Context and Development (Routledge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Philosophy)
by Kienhow GohThis book explores Fichte's theory of sensibility, focusing on its theoretical and practical significance. It offers unique insight into Fichte’s reinterpretation of Kant's aesthetic theory.Fichte's theory of sensibility can be found in his unpublished manuscript Practical Philosophy (1793/94). The author approaches this text as Fichte's attempt to reorganize Kant’s transcendental aesthetic and aesthetic of pure practical reason into a unified whole. The first half contains one of the first chapter-length studies of Abicht’s Attempt at a Metaphysics of Gratification (1789) and Fichte’s Practical Philosophy. In this section, the author examines the context and development of a “philosophy of striving” in Practical Philosophy, explains the background of Fichte’s aesthetics, and provides a concise discussion of Kant’s sensationalist view of pleasure. The second half explores how the investigations in Practical Philosophy reemerge in the Jena period through the theory of aesthetic experience and artistic creation, theory of moral deliberation, and theory of truth and justification (particularly in philosophy) and illustrates the pivotal role Fichte assigns to feelings in human spiritual development.Fichte’s Aesthetic of Striving will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in the history of modern philosophy, the history of aesthetics, German idealism, and 19th-century philosophy.
Fighting for Love: Journal of a Training Analysis
by Marianne Lovink GoldsmithFighting for Love: Journal of a Training Analysis is a unique account of an eight-year psychoanalysis, journaled and retrospectively annotated from the patient’s perspective in the aftermath of a traumatic dissociation. This book tells the story of that analysis in two parts.Part One, The Awakening, places the analysis in its dynamic and historical context and sets the stage for the analysis. A survivor of a Japanese concentration camp in Indonesia in WWII, parental loss and recurrent abandonments as a child, Goldsmith takes the reader deep into the pain she repressed and dissociated. Part One incorporates important components of the analysis, such as its ‘signal dream’, within the narrative. Part Two, The Analysis, is an edited version of Goldsmith’s original journal with retrospective and expository comments inserted, documenting the evolution of the transference and the relationship with her analyst. With the help and love of her analyst, the author was able to find the words she did not have as a child and feel the feelings she could not feel before.This book will resonate with anyone who has experienced trauma and offers insight to those who treat its aftermath. Psychoanalytic professionals in practice and training, including psychotherapists and counselors, will find this book compelling, as will readers interested in the psychoanalytic process.

Finding Meaning in Healthcare: Looking Through the Hermeneutic Window
by Robert Clarke Rupal Shah P. Syam PrasadThis pioneering book illustrates the ways in which an interpretive or hermeneutic stance can be incorporated into modern healthcare across clinical practice, clinical ethics, education and leadership – and the transformative effects of doing so.Combining practical case studies and narrative, this book introduces the hermeneutic window, in which meaning making frames clinical and educational decision making. It shows how best practice requires more than clinical knowledge, communication skills and application of evidence based medicine. It is within the hermeneutic window that assumptions, meanings and values are examined, questioned and re-examined. Drawing on a wide range of expertise, the chapters challenge existing assumptions about the essence of healthcare and the role that clinicians play within it.This book is valuable reading for all healthcare practitioners, particularly GPs, physicians, psychiatrists and psychologists, as well as professions allied to medicine, medical students and other trainees.
Finishing in Architecture: Polishing, Completing, Ending
by Paul Emmons Marcia Feuerstein Negar Goljan Camila MancillaFinishing in Architecture: Polishing, Completing, Ending explores the topic of finishing and the fascinating physical and metaphysical implications of its various conceptions in architecture. Finishing is essential to all human practices and concepts of time, yet simultaneously it is largely impossible to identify an entirely finished state of being. As mortals, we organize our worlds into beginnings and endings, starts and finishes. Architecture’s temporality, however, may contain something of both the mortal and immortal within it – a desire for permanence combined with lamentation over its impossibility.While many approaches to finishing construct two opposed ontological conditions (the finished and the unfinished), this dualistic ploy neglects the complexity of architectural practice, cultural reception, and historiographic shifts in semiotics during the lifetime of a building. More nuanced approaches are examined in this collection of 38 essays and creative works from a diverse group of scholars, architects, and artists who conceptualize finishing not simply as a final outcome, but as an extended action, a mood that presumes an end is near, all the while working continuously toward (but never achieving) completion. It is here that the concept of finishing is not a state of being but a state of becoming, as an active thickening of time when the end is thought to be imminent but not yet attained. Finishing, more than a final endpoint, is a void state that is extended through efforts framing its territory, while never quite containing it.From the material to the procedural and the conceptual, this volume explores the practices of finishing in architecture within three currents: surfaces, projects, and most broadly, architectural times. It will be of interest to students and instructors of architecture and design, architectural historians, and other scholars.

Flattening the Medieval Earth: Seeking the Early Modern Origins of the Idea of an Historical Conflict between Science and Christianity (Routledge Science and Religion Series)
by Pablo de FelipeFlattening the Medieval Earth explores the origin of the ‘flat error’, i.e. the false accusation that ancient and medieval Christians believed in a flat Earth, and what this implies in terms of a conflict between science and Christianity. Engaging with scientific and religious debates, this book includes a reception study of two key figures of the 4th century AD, Lactantius and Augustine. This study demonstrates that the mistaken ‘dark’ image of medieval scholars as flat-earthers started very early, c. 1600, as an internal Christian debate in the context of new geographical and astronomical views. The author draws on extensive research including many primary and secondary sources from different countries and languages not previously put into conversation. Combining history of science, church history, science and religion, history of navigation, and historiography, this book gives the most updated explanation of the origin of the flat error, finding paradoxes and unexpected answers along the way to understand the past and to reflect on some current approaches in science and religion.
