A Contemporary History of Marx’s Capital: The Inexhaustible and the Unfinished (Marx and Marxisms)
by Paolo FavilliPaolo Favilli provides both students and scholars with an original reading of themes and issues found in Karl Marx’s Das Kapital and its connections with present- day challenges. By way of continuous cross- referencing between present and past, Favilli demonstrates that claims regarding the scientific status of Das Kapital, advanced by countless texts since its original publication, are themselves deeply imbued by the ‘spirit of the times’. If in 1963 Jean-Paul Sartre could write that Marxism was the unsurpassable philosophical horizon of our times, what could make an undergraduate student today consider such a claim plausible?Informed by the latest research on Marxist theory and decades of teaching the Philosophy of History, Favilli employs a didactic approach stimulating student engagement and learning opportunities in the classroom. This approach allows for a better understanding of relationship between the present and the multiple temporalities that characterise and periodise the contemporary era. What follows is a critique of the contemporary academy for its hangover of post-1989 nuovismo (cult of novelty) and inability to make the proper distinctions between Marxism-as-party-state, the works of Karl Marx, and Marxism as an object of history. This led to the spectacle where after 1989, those who had spent most of their careers as Marxist-hued scholars not only abandoned this identity but also spurned any recognition that Marx and Marxism were worthwhile objects of enquiry.This book was first published in Italian as A proposito de ‘Il capitale’..., Il lungo presente e i miei studenti. Corso di storia contemporanea (Milan: FrancoAngeli, 2021). This English translation includes a new foreword by the author.
A Corpus Linguistic Approach to Analyzing "Empathy" (Routledge Focus on Applied Linguistics)
by Sabrina FusariThis volume offers an in-depth corpus linguistic analysis of the word “empathy” aiming to foster unique insights into a word widely found across contemporary discourses and into methodological innovations for analyzing large corpora. Given the understanding of empathy’s importance for individual and social development, A Corpus Linguistic Approach to Analyzing “Empathy” demonstrates the potential of a corpus approach to shed new light on a significant yet difficult-to-define concept. Fusari systematically applies the use of concordances and other corpus output to derive patterns and recurrent phraseologies in the 36+ billion-word electronic corpus, English Web 2020, to help readers grapple with key ideas around empathy. Such questions include what we really mean by empathy, whether it is always positive, whether it is learned or innate, and whether empathy is truly what “makes us human”. The book contends with these questions across disciplines, from the clinical to the psychological and philosophical to the linguistic and discursive. Opening new areas of research into inclusive language and the use of corpus tools to analyze individual terms, this book will be of interest to students and scholars in corpus linguistics and applied linguistics, as well as such fields as cognitive science, psychology, philosophy, and allied health.

A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power
by Abby PhillipFrom CNN’s Abby Phillip, a triumphant new look at Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaigns of the 1980s and how they changed Black political power“A joyful, rich, must-read biography of a politician whose flaws and gifts were in constant, intense competition.” —Jake TapperJesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, activist, raconteur, and political candidate, finally gets a book worthy of his stature courtesy of CNN anchor Abby Phillip.Focusing on his presidential runs in 1984 and, especially, 1988, Phillip highlights how Jackson built an unlikely coalition that showed how Black political power could be consolidated. His experience working under Martin Luther King; his organizing the SLCC’s Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and beyond; and his roots in the deep South combined into two astonishingly impactful presidential campaigns. Appealing to the working people of urban enclaves like that of Chicago, young people on college campuses, and Black people across the South, he created the modern Democratic coalition—one that has been used by all major Democrats seeking national success from Obama to Biden to Harris.With her expert reporting, natural storytelling skills, and a story so full of humanity, politics, and hope, Abby Phillip has written a rousing popular history that sheds new light on an American icon.
A Feminist Counter-History of Latin American Documentary (Routledge Advances in Film Studies)
by Lorena Cervera FerrerA Feminist Counter-History of Latin American Documentary provides a new lens through which to revisit the history of Latin American cinema and proposes three approximations to the study of women’s documentary produced between the early 1970s and the mid-1990s.With a focus on documentaries with clear political intents, this book illustrates some of the thematic interests, authorial modes, production practices, formal devices, and aesthetic strategies employed by women filmmakers. Through analysis of the contexts, processes, and forms of a selection of films, the author shows how these non-fiction films shed light on the precarious conditions that characterised women’s greater entry into the workforce, on the circulation of feminist ideas, and on the inevitable questioning of identity that resulted from migration and displacement.This volume will appeal to scholars and students interested in women’s and feminist cinema, documentary history, theory, and practice, and Latin American history and culture.

A Forensic Approach to Political and State Violence: Uncertainty, Ambiguity and Risk (New Frontiers in Forensic Psychology)
by David CrightonA 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. Barriers to implementing better forensic practice in terms of both professional, economic and policy interests are also explored.It will be an essential read for all students or practitioners in the areas of forensic psychology, criminal justice or violence risk management.

A Historical Introduction to Indian Contract Law
by Shivprasad SwaminathanThis book offers a genealogy of the core concepts of Indian contract law, tracing their trajectory from the nineteenth century soil of English jurisprudence in which they germinated, to their transplantation into the Indian Contract Act 1872, and the interpretation of the provisions containing these concepts by Indian courts and influential treatise-writers, over the last one hundred and fifty years.The concepts studied by the book are: i) formation; ii) consideration; iii) privity; iv) capacity; v) consent; vi) frustration; vii) damages viii) stipulated sums; and ix) unjustified enrichment. With respect to each of these concepts, the book seeks to provide an account of the state of the English law at the eve of the drafting of the Act, with a particular emphasis on the impact the civil law had on the concept and a close study of the legislative history of the provisions of the Act codifying the concept, with a view to uncovering what the drafters had originally envisaged.Based on extensive doctrinal and archival research, the book offers:• a historical background to the drafting of the Indian Contract Act and the codification process.• a jurisprudential exploration of the limitations of common law codification gleaned from the working of the Act.• the draft of the contract code accompanying the report of the Indian Law Commissioners in 1866, which is essential to understand the intention of the drafters of the Act.• historical insights which hold the key to illuminating contemporary contract law problems of the kind courts routinely grapple with.
A Historicized Ontology for the Quantum World: A Philosophical Investigation of the Quantum Histories Interpretation
by Kefu ZhuThis book discusses the ontology in the quantum world and argues that it should be interpreted as a historicized ontology. This perspective is advocated by the quantum histories interpretation.Inspired by the nomological interpretation from Bohmian mechanics and the corresponding understanding of the law of nature and logic, the ontology will be useful to solve the difficulties of confusing ontology and perplexing logical inference. Furthermore, this book proposes that the historicized ontology can be generalized to more complicated structures and fit naturally into temporal correlation. Core philosophical issues such as the law of nature, the ontology of events, history, and processes, and the metaphysics of history are coherently discussed, revealing the profound meaning behind the formalism of quantum histories. By providing a new framework for a historicized picture of ontology, it will effectively promote the debates in the philosophy of physics and the fundamental research in quantum mechanics.This book will appeal to scholars and students of the philosophy of science, metaphysics, and quantum theory.
A History of Economic Thought in Sweden (The Routledge History of Economic Thought)
by Lars MagnussonSituating key texts and writers in their proper historical context, this book presents a history of Swedish economic thinking from early modern times to the present day.Highlighting key elements of Swedish political, economic and social history allows the book to shed new light on important parts of the story including the development of neo-classical economics from the late 19th century - associated with leading names such as Knut Wicksell, Gustav Cassel and Eli Heckscher – and the rise of the so-called Stockholm school in the 1920´s and 30´s. But the book also goes back further to explore the Swedish economic literature of the 18th century, particularly its more “liberal” version of mercantilism and cameralism, as well as early modern and medieval developments. Throughout, the book emphasizes the unique nature of much of the economic thinking emanating from Sweden. Emulation and adaption of political economic thinking imported from abroad – primarily the UK, France and German speaking countries - is an important part of this story, but this is shown to be an active process which has resulted in great originality in Swedish economic thought.This book will be of interest to readers in the history of economic thought, economic history, the history of ideas and Swedish history.
A History of Energy in Mexico: From Cornfields to Solar Farms
by Philip L. RussellThis volume synthesizes energy history in Mexico from pre-Conquest times to the present. It traces human development from a low-energy, sustainable existence to fossil fuel-based non-sustainability.The book familiarizes readers with different energy sources, what the advantages and disadvantages of each source are, and how the importance of each energy source has changed over time. From early agricultural beginnings and Spanish-introduced energy innovations to the rise of coal and oil, the volume analyzes how evolving energy sources produced sweeping environmental and social change. It also studies economic history from the approach of the emerging field of biophysical economics, recognizing the often-overlooked role of energy in Mexico’s development. Linking this development to climate change, the book discusses the ways in which Mexico and the Global South are impacted by this crisis, despite doing little to cause climate change themselves. Later chapters inform readers of how energy issues have shaped U.S.–Mexican relations throughout the twentieth century and into today.A History of Energy in Mexico will be of value to students of environmental, economic, and Mexican history as well as political scientists, economists, and anthropologists.
